Here’s an interesting look behind the scenes of my favorite Black Sabbath song, Planet Caravan:
Tom Allom:
“ We got a guide vocal from Ozzy.
Which is again, pretty much, the final melody.
But totally different lyrics.”
Geezer Butler:
“We'd literally be jamming away. And he'd be jamming as well, singing along to everything.
And he was just, I mean—I don't think he gets enough credit for how—what a talent that he had. Like for just coming out with these like incredible vocal lines. Just out of the air. You know?
And it was almost always what he'd first come up with. That's we would go with.”
