What does 'NIB' by Black Sabbath stand for?

NIB? Nothing? Just a funny title? If it means anything, I am assuming that refers to Satan because of the letters ... Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm not a fan of Saturday. Just a fan.



NIB means nothing. It merely refers to a nickname given to Bill Ozzy Ward (Nibby). Back before starting their first album, Ozzy has a beard that looked like a tip Ward pen (ball pen), so just put a few points for the name NIB Out of nowhere, people started calling the Nativity in Black, which has no nothing to do with the name. There's even a Black Sabbath tribute band name of the Nativity in Black and two cover albums by several artists also called the Nativity in Black.
