MAC SABBATH Takes Tribute Band To New Level

Welcome to Today’s FYB Post featuring the Novelty Act MAC SABBATH a Macdonald’s Parody Themed Black Sabbath Tribute Band. Now many of People are Apt to assume Musical Novelty Acts are a Niche Market. When People think about a Niche Musical Acts They think that “Oh so that’s some Weird ass bullshit Band an insanely small number of People actually for some reason find it Entertaining.”, and A Lot of the Time that is the Case but Not Always Mind You. There have been or Currently are Some World Famous Novelty Bands/Acts Starting with the Godfather Weird Al Yankovic then there’s KISS, Gwar, Daft Punk, Slipknot, King Diamond, Alice Cooper, Dead Mouse, Ghost, and Lordi for Example. While MAC SABBTH is No Where that Level of Fame and Fortune They have the Talent and Creativity to do so, Yet being Rich and Famous is Not always the End Goal and Damn Well may not be as Far as MAC SABBATH is Concerned.

First off here’s all the Usual Bullshit. MAC SABBATH was formed in 2014 and is Based Out of Los Angeles, California. MAC SABBATH has Almost Exclusively Toured within the California for almost Their Entire Career. The Band’s MacDonald’s Parody was Aesthetically inspired by Macdonald’s Characters from the Fictional MacDonaldland. The Cast of Characters (such as Mayor McCheese, Hamburger, Ronald MacDonald, and More) were used by the Fast Food Chain for Advertising Campaigns back in the Day when MacDonald’s Catered to Children. I mean let’s fucking face it since MacDonald’s switched Their Target Demographic from Kids to Adults every MacDonald’s looks like a fucking Generic Drab Coffee House bathed in Black and Beige, and Now back to the Post at Hand. The Band Debuted Online with Their Demo Recording “Chicken For The Slaves” which is the Parody of the Song “Children Of The Grave” on March 26, 2014 referring to Their Musial Style as “Drive Thru Metal”.

The Band makes Extreme Attempt to Retain Totally Anonymity behind Their Characters much like the Band Ghost for Example (though Unfortunately some Asshole discovered and Leaked the Lead Singer of Ghost’s Name like a fucktard). The Band Also Refuses to do Any Interviews or Press opting to Use Their Manager Mike Odd (Who is also the Lead Singer of L.A. Hard Rock Band Rosemary’s Goat) as the Band’s Official Spokesperson. Odd for His part continues to Spread/Back MAC SABBATH’s assorted Outlandish Claims pertaining to the Band’s Origin. One such claim made by the Lead Singer Ronald Osbourne is that He is Comes from a Enchanted Forrest in the 1970s where Hamburgers grow on Trees, and that He traveled through the Time-Space Continuum to War the General Public of the Government’s Control in the Food Market. It all started for Odd with a Random Phone Call back in 2013 from a Complete Stranger inviting Odd to meet Them  at a Fast Food Restaurant in the Area. When Odd showed up He was met by Ronald Osbourne in Full Costume and in Character. One of Odd’s Claims is that Since that Initial Meeting has NEVER seen the Band out of Character or Costume which is Serious Dedication in My fucking Opinion. Anyway after a Lengthy Conversation Ronald managed to Convince Odd to become the Band’s Manager based on Odd’s Reputation with Odd’s Band Rosemary’s Billygoat (what the fuck that means exactly beats Me).

In the Early Days of MAC SABBATH exclusively played Secret Shows in Various Restaurant Basements. As I mentioned earlier MAC SABBATH played Extensively and Exclusively in California that was Until June of 2015. In June of 2015 MAC SABBATH were invited to Play the DOWNLOAD Festival in Leicestershire, England along with Several Additional Shows while Across the Pond. The Band dubbed the Shows in England as “British Royals With Cheese Tour” since a Royal With Cheese is the Common name for MacDonald’s Quarter Pounder Hamburger in Countries that unlike America use the Metric System (Anyone Who has seen the Movie Pulp Fiction knows what I’m talking about). MAC SABBATH’s Live Concerts have been described as Multimedia Shows with Video, Various Theatrics, Audience Participation, Sing-a-Longs, Features Fast Food Themed Props consisting of Inflatable Cheeseburgers, Oversized Ketchup and Mustard, BBQ Grill, A Frying Pan, A Demonic Red Eyed Clown Statue, and a Visual Overload of Radiant Primary Colors.

FOOTNOTE: For those Who may be Wondering Yes Ozzy is Well Aware of the Band as His Son Jack Booked Them to Play during the Filming of the Infamous Reality T.V. Show Series The Osbourne’s. Ozzy’s Official Opinion on MAC SABBATH is that He is Mainly Impressed by the “Clownery” and said the Band was “Fun” and “Funny as Fuck”, and even went as Far as to add on the Subject of Fame “If you can’t stand (being Parodied) Don’t fucking do it.”

Pentagram -Last Days Here

I’m a massive fan of the early Ozzy led Black Sabbath, but when I heard the Heavy/ Doom Metal band Pentagram I was awe struck. In my honest and vastly unpopular opinion that Pentagram exceeds Black Sabbath not in lyrical content but in Advanced Musical Techniques/Style of the Doom Metal. Pentagram’s music was more evolved than Black Sabbath even if both bands got their start around the same time. Based on my opinion I fully believe Pentagram and not Black Sabbath should receive the dubious honor of being the first pioneers of Heavy Metal (because without the precursor of Doom Metal then the Heavy Metal genre wouldn’t have come to be).

Last Days Here is the 2011 Documentary film featuring Bobby Liebling, lead singer of the American heavy metal band Pentagram Directed by Don Argott and Demian Fenton.

              

Pentagram- Last Days Here Synopsis:

Co-Director Fenton first became familiar with Liebling after listening to Pentagram’s 1970s recordings on cassette tape and the 2001 compilation First Daze Here, and enjoying the early Pentagram material. He had heard the rumors surrounding Liebling, including him living in the basement of his parent’s house and spending all day and night heavily ingesting illegal drugs.

Last Days Here follows Bobby Liebling, lead singer of Pentagram, an Alexandria, Virgina-based heavy metal group founded in 1971 and active sporadically throughout the following four decades. At the film’s beginning , Liebling is in his 50s, living in Squalor in his parents’ basement, and addicted to various drugs (Pills, Heroin, and Crack). After Pentagram’s music is rediscovered by the heavy metal underground scene, Liebling begins to recover from his lifestyle. His friend and manager Sean “Pellet” Pelletier attempts to help Liebling overcome his drug addiction and escape his old life. The film ends in 2010 with Liebling and Pentagram returning to the stage and Liebling sober, married and his new wife expecting their first child.

              

Enjoy.
