Influences: Black Sabbath!!!
Black Sabbath had a unique sound that emerged from diverse influences. Iommi was greatly influenced both by Hank Marvin's playing on Cliff Richard and the Shadows' heavy-guitar based recordings and by jazz guitar, particularly that of Django Reinhardt.
Ward has also expressed a fondness for jazz music, especially drummers like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa.
Geezer Butler cites bassist/vocalist Jack Bruce of British blues band Cream as a major influence on him: He was the first player I ever saw who bent the strings and played the bass as a totally independent instrument. Early incarnations of Black Sabbath merged elements of blues, jazz, and rock and paid their dues playing cover versions of songs by heavy rock acts including Jimi Hendrix, Blue Cheer, and the previously mentioned Cream.
Osbourne says he was deeply influenced by The Beatles and his favourite album of all time is Revolver.
