Rich leads this episode and puts the spotlight on Black Sabbath, the influential guitar licks of the song 'Paranoid', and the band's backstory and formation. The fools discuss Tony Iommi's tragic accident which resulted in his determination and eventual rise to become one of the greatest guitarists of the heavy metal genre. Paranoid was a last-minute song addition that gave the band a hit single and album title. Paranoid replaced the original Walpurgis concept, which represented a criticism against war and sending young people to die, but its dark symbolism was perceived by the producers to be too sinister. Following an evaluation of the song's lyrics, chorus, and guitar styles, the fools celebrate their shared appreciation for the intensity and talent of Black Sabbath, its musicians, and awesome fuzz signature sound.
