Black Sabbath tribute characters

[Snarky]

since characters for stuff like this are not copying heroes, but emulating rock stars, what are the rules.

 

rip Ozzy

I do have a character named "Fairy Wears Boots" and while post-Ozzy, thought about a thug mastermind "The Mob Rules"

[PartyKake]

I wonder what powerset would be the best fit for a war pig.

The most appropriate name for a tribute character is off limits anyway.... 😞

So long as you aren't using the name of an actual band member from Black Sabbath anything just inspired by should be fine. War Pig, Paranoid (Perry Noid?), Child of the Grave... I wouldn't try to run around as Mozzy Mosbourne but song references should be okay.

 

'Child of the Grave' is actually a really good name for a Necromancy MM, come to think of it.

Salad Bloody Salad; Plant/pain

 

 

I was never a heavy metal fan but as an honorary "Black Country Mon" I love what he gave to my adopted home territory. As a music fan and radio presenter with an eye on the jazzier side of the tracks I encountered his mentors (allegedly) in Jazz Sabbath, a small jazz quartet that he unashamedly plagiarised and ripped off.

 

What listening to them taught me was that Black Sabbath had a very great body of work. It wasn't simply thrashing guitars and making noise. Listening to it you get some genuine musical craft and for all Ozzy's feigned weirdness and deliberate strange there was real, actual musical talent in Black Sabbath and they did change music for ever in a very positive way.
