All the hatred and darkness pumping through the veins of the metal heads of the world comes indirectly from Sabbath's influence on the start of the genre. This is a genre dedicated to thumbing you rnose in the face of God and boldly stating that you don't give a crap.
And even if they are just hamming up the image cause the kiddies are lapping it up, unfortunately the kiddies are taking it seriously, and they are making their fortune on the broken souls of the mixed up kids of the world. If this is something you groove on then more power to you. But you better hope the intellectually indefensible arguments of the atheists are true--that you really are as useless and worthless as a twig floating in a cess pool, and you have a nice sweet abyss of nothingness to look forward to--otherwise there will be Hell to pay. And the last time I looked pain, suffering, and hopelessness were bad things.

Have you read the lyrics to their songs ? Let's go over a few quickly "
Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah!"
Obviously anti-christian ! they dare mention the evil dude !
"
The world today is such a wicked thing
Fighting going on between the human race
People give good wishes to all their friends
While people just across the sea are counting the dead"
Heartless b*****ds ! Self centered egotistical druggies !
"
Now you know the scene, your skin starts turning green
Your eyes no longer seeing life's reality
Push the needle in, face death's sickly grin
Holes are in your skin, caused by deadly pin"
How dare they make fun of drug addiction !
"
Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love"
Murderers ! Beasts ! hate-mongerers !
You're right. Sab are evil > Hanging's too good for them.
Whew, facing up to reality is hard work. Especially when you have to learn that you had no idea as to what you were talking about , eh ...
If you're looking for evil, rock music lyrics are not the place to start.
Hitler had no foreknowledge of heavy metal; Stalin was never a satanist; many white supremacists are self professed christians; Vincent Price was never a motive for murder.
The mind of man, though, is a much darker & cloudier place to search for the true root of what you see as a problem. Start there ...

Even if Zeppelin is/was fantastic, few bands can match what i feel for early Sabbath!

Seriously?????
Every band member in Led Zeppelin blows away their counterparts in Black Sabbath on their respective instruments. |
Well, I play all of the respective instrumentsbetter than Black sabbath. Certainly doesn't make my music better. Where Zep is concerned, I have also stolen less music from the front porches of Mississippi and Louisiana. |
Well,that's your opinion.Zep started out as a heavy,very blues influenced band,but the music they created later on in their career was on a whole other level than Sabbath's.
Just my opinion of course.I am a metal freak and love the Sabs,but Zeppelin is my favorite band ever and when comparing these two Zep trumps Sabbath in just about everything. |
Zeppelin is my favorite band ever (so far). Great to know here on PA are more Zep freaks. 
Logically, I choose Zeppelin over Sabbath any day. I enjoy early Sabbath to an extent, but there's no comparison to the gods of rock n' roll!

In my opinion, if you compare LZ's and BS's respective musicians individually, Black Sabbath takes a tremendous beat. Also Led Zeppelin was able to release good material consistenly all along their career, whereas Black Sabbath went through some tough spots releasing pretty sh*tty material, such as The Mob Rules or Technical Ecstasy.
ZEPPELIN RULES.

Led Zeppelin is very good in small amounts for me. Black Sabbath, never got into it.

Zep with Page. But Sab with Page could've been really interesting.

Even if some of their later works were shoddy, early sabbath was pure magic for me, so sabbath get my vote

I prefer Sabbath. Zeppelin had alot of uncool sounding heavy songs which sound very dated. Sabbath were cooler :)

I really can't decide what band cause of guitarist is Page but the band don't know. Both are awsome but different at the same time. I will say Sabbath and Page but still Zep and Page don't go behind.

Black Sabbath by far. Led Zeppelin may have invented heavy metal but Black Sabbath took it much further. Tony Iommi is much better than Jimmy Page. Just listen to the Warning JP cant top that. Tony Iommi also wins in the acoustic department just listen to Orchid, Laguna Sunrise, Fluff, way better than Jimmy Pages ramshackle approach on LZ3
I think Led Zeppelin are one of the most overated bands ever. I think almost every other hardrock band that made more than three albums is better (except for Kiss) Nevertheless still a good band just not as good as that.
