I know this cover since I was like...11 or 12 years old. I was already a huge Sabbath/Ozzy fan. I used to listen to it so many times alone at home, and I had no idea it was a cover. Now it strikes me as one of the best cover songs out there, along with Hendrix playing Dylan.

I would love to know what Francis Rossi thinks of this Cover version of his 1968 Classic. LONG LIVE THE STATUS QUO!!!!!

It just needs Pete's vocals, with Ozzy to make it complete...

I remember buying this soundtrack as a young kid and having my parents question me when they heard Howard’s voice during the movie clips featured on the soundtrack haha. At the age I was they didn’t want me listening or watching anything Howard Stern related and here I would end up loving his show years later ha. I was more along for the ride during the Artie era more than Jackie. I always had to catch myself quickly monitoring the CD so that only the songs would play if my parents were home, though I could get away with the Crxckhead Bob feature before live AC/DC would blast lol, and this song is actually what introduced me to checking out more Type O. I loved Ozzy which was icing on the cake but musically I loved this song so much the heaviness of it with the ambient feel, that I had to check out Type O’s catalog up to that point and man how I was missing out before, and in for a crazy treat of awesome music. Have always loved Type O Negatives sound with guitar and bass tones. They definitely had their own sound and nobody to this day has that awesome sound. Some try though, and not counting the other project stuff we get from Kenny. Besides the special features of both Kenny and Pete’s Axe’s, I loved the use of Chorus pedals with distortion along with their reverbs and delays but that Chorus sound is truly what gave Type O their unique sound with how they incorporated it. Like what Zakk was using for effects on Ozzmosis with tracks like See You On The Otherside. Producers etc were all trying to copy that Soundgarden Blackhole Sun acid tone sound style with both clean and dirty channels. I know Type O used axe and mini etc but at end of day that is chorus and distortion. Anyway I would then hear the version of this song with Pete’s vocals only and I absolutely love that version! Must admit I like it more, not that I dislike Ozzy’s awesome version any less, and maybe the fact that Petes vocal version was so rare at the time to find, may have also made the excitement of it stand out more, but once I found a Pete vocal version in HQ I was in Metal Heaven! The way he sings it sounds so good and I will find myself playing only his version a lot more now. Though what I usually will do is I have this version, a version with Pete only and a version with both Pete and Ozzy. I find myself listening to the song in a mix 3 times in a row lol. Gives me the excuse to play it a few times and never get sick of Kenny’s riffs and that guitar tone along with Pete’s bass, just gnarly. Yelloooow woe woe wa woooooooooe haha awe man Pete was cool as Fxck. RIP man 🤘🎸🤘
