JACKASS’S WEE MAN RATES BLACK SABBATH (PART 1) (Ep. 224)

1 hour 4 minutes

Jackass’s Jason “Wee Man” Acuna is such an Ozzy fan, he crossed the ocean to see the Back To The Beginning gig before even having a ticket. (He made it in, Thank God.) The biggest little metalhead on the planet joins Discograffiti in paying tribute to the all-time greatest metal band in a whipcrack-fast three-part series that’ll school you in how metal got started. And to sweeten the pot, we’re only covering the Ozzy era.

Here’s just a few of the many things that Wee Man discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

A rundown of his experience attending the already-legendary Back To The Beginning gig;

The band’s early days growing out of the late-Sixties British blues scene;

The great allure of turning their debut record around in 48 hours flat that continued to hold appeal as a way of working for some members of the group;

The shockingly depressive underpinning of Geezer’s lyrics for “Paranoid”;

How in the hell Wee Man deals with his Jackass-induced aches & pains;

A look back at Wee Man’s relationship with Billy Barty when he was a kid;

And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Black Sabbath and Paranoid!
