Jackass’s Jason “Wee Man” Acuna is such an Ozzy fan, he crossed the ocean to see the Back To The Beginning gig before even having a ticket. (He made it in, Thank God.) The biggest little metalhead on the planet joins Discograffiti in paying tribute to the all-time greatest metal band in a whipcrack-fast three-part series that’ll school you in how metal got started. And to sweeten the pot, we’re only covering the Ozzy era.

 

Here are just a few of the many things that Wee Man discusses with Discograffiti in Part 2 of this podcast:

 

• The Black Sabbath track that Billy Corgan credited with inventing grunge;
• The reason Sabbath downtuned their guitars further on Master Of Reality, and the sub-genres that wound up creating;
• How Tony Iommi’s “Sweet Leaf” coughing was captured;
• The secret messages planted throughout Vol. 4’s songs and packaging, not to mention its initial jettisoned title;
• And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Master Of Reality, Vol. 4, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath!
