Black Sabbath at Download Festival 10/6/12

Closing Download Festival on Sunday night was none other than the legendary Black Sabbath. Formed in 1969 and still going strong, Black Sabbath have inspired many of the bands who played throughout the weekend at Download Festival and also many more in the rock and metal scene. Opening with ‘Black Sabbath’, Ozzy Osbourne instantly proved he was back right where he belonged, performing to thousands of eager fans. They played classic songs such as ‘The Wizard’, ‘War Pigs’ and ‘Sweet Leaf’, which were amazing to see performed live. ‘Iron Man’ was definitely an instant crowd-pleaser. Tony Iommi, the only continual member of Black Sabbath, is an amazing guitarist and inspirational for performing despite his illness. Ending with ‘Paranoid’ and many fireworks, it was the perfect ending to Download Festival 2012. All I can say is bring on next year!
