"Paranoid" Is Black Sabbath's Version of a Led Zeppelin Song

Details

Description

Black Sabbath bassist Bill Ward says their song "Paranoid" was taken from Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown".

“We always loved Zeppelin in them days, sitting round on the floor smoking dope and listening to that first album,” Butler says. “So when Tony came up with the riff to ‘Paranoid’ me and Ozzy spotted it immediately and went: ‘Naw, we can’t do that!’"
