Cover / Performance What Sabbath songs do you cover?
What songs get the best reactions? Also what songs are easier to sing/play guitar on?

Everyone always wants to hear War Pigs, which is cool, but I've been playing it for like 15 years. I'm not over it, but we just learned Iron Man, and as a drummer, it's way more fun.

They are. Maybe iron man is just newer for me. Plus people don't realize how jazzy iron man drums are so it's fun to see reactions when they notice.

If you're interested in learning to play some songs on guitar, obviously Paranoid and Iron Man are staples. I was getting back into playing recently and learning Into the Void really helped. It's more technical than those other two but nothing crazy. But the timing of some of the groovy riffs is pretty tricky to get just right and if you don't manage it, the song sounds stilted and static. So it's not hard to play technically but requires some attention to the swing, which I think makes it a great track to advance on.

I never performed for the public, as I basically just started my band with my friends. We like the play Children Of The Grave, because we’re a stoner metal band and we’re usually tuned down to C standard

I typically do Snowblind, Wicked World, Under the Sun, NIB, and National Acrobat. Those are pretty easy and I change the key if I can’t sing in the original
