In this episode I sit down with Your Favorite Color/Black Snak drummer, Johnny Arnold, to discuss “Master of Reality” by Black Sabbath! We talk about which substances were consumed before the iconic cough that leads off the album and takes us into the classic “Sweet Leaf;” the album’s influence on today’s stoner rock, and doom and sludge metal bands; how Sabbath was one of the only bands from the 70s to tune down their guitars and how this gave them such a unique sound; how Johnny used to check out Sabbath albums from the Huntington Beach Library for a dollar a week; the reignition of Sabbath’s career in the late nineties and aughts (2000-2010) due to Ozzfest and the Nativity in Black covers albums; and the current budding of an explosive edgy rock scene in Orange County CA among Johnny’s generation of bands and where that might lead!
