Black Sabbath Bio *finally finshed

Black Sabbath is a band that helped metal music spread around the globe. So many people know them because they were one of the few big metal bands that contributed to the up rising of metal. My favorite song by them is Heaven and Hell. I think metal was first seen in the middle ages. In the middle ages they had something that was called the tri-note, it was a sound of satin. Black Sabbath has a song that is called Black Sabbath and it uses that note. metal bands use tri-notes and made it become a symbol of metal. Metal bands used the tri-note to not become the popular band but to let outsiders come together and form one big group of fans. When metal was still not as popular as punk Black Sabbath showed people what metal was about. After they became more popular more metal bands started to pop up around the world. There are allot of different eras of Black Sabbath, in the beginning there was Ozzy Osborn, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. This biography will mostly be about Black Sabbath in 1979, The rise of Sabbath with Dio.
Dio has his own solo band, he was also in Rain Bow at one time. In 1979 Ronnie James Dio came into the band replacing Ozzy Osborn. There are a lot of different rumors about why Ozzy left. Some say he got fired, and others say he just left. In 1979 the band line up was Ronnie on vocals, Tony on guitar, Geezer on bass and Bill on drums. Vinny Appice has played with John Lennon, and Rick Derringer. In 1982 Vinny came in to the band replacing Bill Ward. In between 1980-1980 Black Sabbath only released one album with Bill Ward, Heaven And Hell. With Vinny Appice they released Dehumanizer, and Mob Rules. Heaven And Hell, Dehumanizer, and Mob Rules were they're most famous albums. Since the day they could play, the band members have always been in other bands. The band members had to start in garage bands, that means they started out small and worked their way to fame. They're lyrics is mostly about the end of the world, with a medieval twist or religion.

The sound of black sabbath never really changed. It may have changed a little when a new singer came in to the band but over all the music never changed. Their inspiration is the version of Black Sabbath that came before them because it made them not want to change the bands over all stile. Any song righter who was in the band tried to make his songs sound like the righter that came before them. The band is like a club if they needed a singer and you were interested you signed up.

Dio once did a tour with Black Sabbath but left half way in to the tour because he knew ozzy was coming back. I don't know why he left but when he did Rob Halford took over and finished the tour. They made people think they were satanists by the lyrics of their songs but they really were not. Tony Iommi got the tips of his fingers cut off on one hand the day before the went pro. and he got things to put on his finges and kept playing, he is a inspirational guitar player for allot of people. Black Sabbath has been around for a long time and they are going strong. I hope they will be around for many more years to come.

This is great. It has lots of facts that really let the reader understand that you know a lot about your artist. I agree with matty that it is confusing with all the band names and that you might want to focuse on just a few.

Solid lead. Nice.

There are allot different types of Black Sabbath, in the beginning there was Ozzy Osborn, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward.

I think what you mean to say is that there were many members who comprised the membership of the band. Types is the wrong word.

You might want to explain the appeal and origin of metal.
I agree with Matty, all the names are confusing. Is it really necessary. What is the most important info about the band. Get to the point.
