[edit] Some Spelling Errors

Corrected a couple spelling errors, such as the "Brazilian death metal ban Sepultura."

[edit] Sabotage (Beastie Boys album)

There is a reference to a Beastie Boys album in 1994. I'm pretty much sure that the name of the album is Ill Communication and "Sabotage" was the hit single from this album. 203.166.96.239 01:41, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Correct. Removed. Jh51681 21:13, 4 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] What?

I find the talk of the album being considered 'the beginning of Sabbath's decline' far too opinionated. Sabotage is my personal favorite Sabbath album, and that of many other Sab fans that I've talked to. I changed it to sound less opinionated.

One may be able to back up just the opposite of that opinion. James Hetfield has repeatedly listed Symptom of the Universe as one of his favorite songs, and cited Sepultura's cover of it as the reason why Metallica did not contribute to Nativity In Black. See, e.g., http://www.geocities.com/hetfieldinter/inter16.htm 137.113.22.122 (talk) 02:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

• All song titles serve as redirects to this album or have been placed at the appropriate disambiguation pages.--Hraefen ^Talk 17:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure that's a good idea. "Am I Going Insane?", "Hole in the Sky", and "Symptom of the Universe" were released as singles, they're even included in the infobox at the bottom of the page, but there's no mention of them in this article. Even back in 2006 it was accepted practice to have separate articles for single releases. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 16:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

• If you feel these songs are deserving of their own articles, go for it. My creation of redirects etc. back in 2006 does not prevent you from doing this.--Hraefen ^Talk 18:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BlackSabbathSabotage.jpg

Image:BlackSabbathSabotage.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 14:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Progressive Metal

ive heard some call this album one of the earliest examples of progressive metal, should there be a note of that in the article?--Krautukie (talk) 16:21, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

It would be OK if it were correct. "Heard some call" isn't a reliable source. It has some Rick Wakeman contributions. But the result is Rick Wakeman playing 'heavy metal' with Black Sabbath as opposed to Black Sabbath altering their style any to fit in with Rick Wakeman's contributions. Anger22 (Talk 2 22) 21:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

yeah obviously the 'heard some call' is weasely, but some legitimate sources could be found to substantiate it--69.81.91.18 (talk) 22:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Just to say Wakeman didn't play on 'Sabotage', but on 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' (on Sabbra Cadabra). Al, UK —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.10.125 (talk) 02:45, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
