Ozzy Osborne - Vocals Tony Iommi - Guitar Geezer Butler - Bass Bill Ward - drums Legit one of the best metal bands of all time even after all these years. If you guys like this, there's a whole lot more from them to enjoy!
@slaine's axe That is a great point. I have mentioned that before but all you get is silence. All of the British bands from the Beatles to Zeppelin all learned the blues. The history is interesting.
@@TriScorp , Tony losing his fingertips is what created Sabbaths sound, he used thinner strings & tuned his guitar lower so it was easier to push the strings down
So true in every way..... Latin American countries are coming to a point in time and history, where there will be a change for the better good of our patrimony...... but when it comes to lyrical poetry and/or awareness. Sabbath knew our global outcome.
DokktorDeth No it’s not. Pseudo-history. Might want to look into Helter Skelter, 20th century schozoid man, and whole lotta love. All were metal/hard rock songs made in the 1960s. There’s a bunch more too. Now sit your dumbass down.
The Hard Rock bands Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath together were all were hailed collectively as the Fathers of Heavy Metal. That's a well known fact and disputed by few, other than die-hard Sabbath fans with blinders on. Just listen to the comments and influences listed by the first acknowledged heavy metal bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeath, Motorhead, etc.
Kudos to you gentlemen. Not only did you pick an epic band but also a truly epic song. This song is pure ASMR. Subscribed to see more. Keep em coming.....
What it is like to be woke your entire life. In 1971 at age 11 💇♂️ I purchased my second Black Sabbath album (Master of Reality). My collection consisted of Hair the Musical (Jesus Christ Superstar), Iron Butterfly Live (In A Gadda Da Vida), Jimi Hendrix (Axis Bold As Love), The Birds (Eight Miles High), Moody Blues (Days of the Futures Past), Black Sabbath (Paranoid) Santana (Black and Magic Woman) and shortly after bought Humble Pie's (Smokin) and Led Zeppelin's (fourth album). I still own and play all my original vinyls. Nothing sounds as real as vinyl. Rock On ✌
LOL yes there was a draft, but a lottery was in place. Lower the NO# more likely you would get drafted. In those days , once you graduated from high school, you had to go register for the draft. Then you would be sent a draft card with a NO#. A low NO#, not good news. Say 200 or better... may not get drafted. Not sure how they figured your NO# out. I had 2 bothers in the military at the time. One in Vietnam area and one in the Pacific but not Vietnam. I kind of figure that may have played into me getting a high no#. But I could still have gotten drafted.
BTW, the lead guitarist, Tony iommi, still managed to play all his great solos even though he lost the tips of his middle and ring fingers of his right hand in an industrial accident.
I was 13 when this was released. Bought this album new for $2.40 when released along with Led Zeppelin 1 and Grand Funk Railroad. All the real good rock was coming out of the U.K. back then. You really didn't know what you were getting until you listened to it on the turn table as most of this stuff was not played on the radio.
Now that I think about it, you're right. We would pay money to hear songs & try out new groups before we even heard them. Sometimes catch a little buzz from friends or Rolling Stone or Circus (Rock mag) about a new band, but not from TV or radio. By the way, Grand Funk was/is from USA.
When this was released I was 18. I was a teenager of the times, southern , white, suburban, watching musical acts like the Monkees on TV. Not yet doing drugs. But me and my best buddy had been slowly discovering this new music, bands nobody much had heard of at the time. Bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and so many others. We would pool our nickels and dimes together and go buy a new album of a band we never heard before (they cost about $3 then). We bought based on whether the album cover struck us. When we were looking at the first Black Sabbath cover we almost didn't buy it, it looked so ominous and maybe even evil. (the mainstream did think they were satanists). But we did, took it home, played it on his cheap portable record player, and totally had our minds blown (no drugs even). We had never heard any thing like it before. Not like Beatles, not like Rolling Stones, not like any thing that came before. We spent the entire next 40 minutes banging heads, making faces, WOW's ----- just like you guys!
Your right, we took a chance buying records in the "Import" section of our local record shop. I bought it because the cover art was cool. When I heard it I thought why don't they play stuff like this on the radio?
The first time I went to ozzfest and heard the air raid sirens going off, announcing Sabbath was coming on stage, it was one of the first times I teared up as an adult. Check out the video of their final concert "Black Sabbath: The End."
"I've never even heard of Ozzy before" My brain could not even comprehend your sentence lol all it would come up with is huh what uhhhhh. Lol oh well better late then never
What make this "oldie" hard rock tune so great today is its simplicity, just great vocals from Ozzy, clear instrumentation from the guys. Raw. a heavy topic, critical of the ruling class sending the peasants to war. A nice change from the overproduced songs of today with autotune.
I have been listening to this song for 49 years and it still hits me as hard today as it did when my father first cranked this song for me in 1970. This song was about the opposition to war. Some think it was against the Vietnam War, but Ozzy stated the group knew nothing about the Vietnam War. Thank you for a great reaction to this song.
@@JUSTiNSWORLD If it is from before 1975 there were no music videos as such, (arguably perhaps) the first recognised music video was for Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody made because they couldn't play it live on the BBC TV weekly chart programme 'Top of the Pops'.
Aye, though it's not the official video it's an intepretation most folks kinda agree with when they see it so it's not a bad visualization of the message they probaly intended to communicate.
@@Grington300 They had promo videos before '75 and of course television and live footage. Bohemian Rhapsody was sort of the first "intentionally" made music video, they actually spent some money on making it.
A song over forty years young and still so relevant today. The voice of Ozzy Osbourne, the guitar of Tommy Iommi, and Geezer on drums--just speaks to all of us. Love the reaction.
Love your reaction, reminds me of when I first listened as a kid of 8 or 9. I have seen Sabbath live 5 times. Twice on their final tour. And even as old men they killed it every show.
Ozzy singing when he was a young dude around 1969. BTW the guitar player had lost two of his fingertips from the first knuckle up in an industrial accident working a machine. He wore rubber fingertips on his bloody stumps to fret the strings and in insane pain. The price he paid for wealth and fame. It is also why they detuned their guitars to lessen the string tension.
He didnt, He melted the tops off fairy liquid bottles (washing up liquid) and made them into finger tips dstackle.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/bobbin.jpg
@@TheD4VR0S Yeah he molded plastic and then covered them with small strips of leather so he could grip the strings. He said he always thought his injury held him back, but he was a pretty damn good guitarist nonetheless imo
Are you all forgetting that they all grew up in the bombed out, rationing recession of WWII?? I’m sure that has something to do with this too - England suffered terribly in that war & didn’t recover till the 1960s.
I am 63 years old. Black Sabbath's Master of Reality was the first album I ever bought, back in my mid-teens. It was the right one for me to get back then, and I still listen to them today.
I was around when this came out. This type of music was never heard of. Black Sabbath is considered the father of Heavy Metal. All Metal music is inspired by the band. They are Metal Legend
That's Ozzy!!! He's badass!!! Mama I'm Coming Home .. I'm Just a Dreamer. This song is one of the best anti war songs ever, with What's Going On by Marvin Gaye.
I first heard Black Sabbath when I was 15 years old. Their heavy sound had an effect on me, and made me want to learn to play guitar. I learned how to play and formed a band a few years later that played in this heavy guitar style. It was the greatest time of my life.
Blake Boros Iron Butterfly was a blip on the radar, like Blue Cheer. The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” is often considered early metal or proto-metal, but it’s just one song. Black Sabbath was the first metal band.
Been listening to this since it come out around 1971 when I was 11 years old Carol City Florida. Bringing it to Catholic School 5th grade and freaking out the nuns with it.
When I first heard this, it was the early 90s, and it did open my eyes to how badass metal is. This and other songs at the time made me want to rock the hell out of myself on a regular basis. Epicness is a recurring theme in this genre, and I’ve been a metalhead ever since.
This song is nearly 50 years old now. So many songs like these that we all know note for note, yet the world seems to miss the message. The true tragedy of a song like this is that it still applies as strongly today as it did almost a half a century ago.
I remember when the album came out. It was a "whole package" album. All the way from War Pigs to Faries Wear Boots. A must listen, along with the first album, "Black Sabbath"
Black Sabbath is a great rock band. Originally called "Earth" they changed their name as a marketing ploy. You should react to "a national acrobat" by Black Sabbath.
They were a blues band when they were earth. They seen the movie Black Sabbath, and seen how everyone lined up to be scared. They decided it would be better to make music that would scare people. Geezer Butler's interest in classical piano, and Alister Crowley. Helped him come up with the sound, and Toni iommi took it, and ran with it
Glad you enjoyed it. Me and friends in the 80s used to sit in a room with the black light on rollen em up and listening to this and other badass music. I’m kinda jealous,if you really like this then you still have so much to discover. Rock on.
im a 50 year old man no joke i loved led zeppelin groing up at like 7 years old a friend in my 5 grade class gave me a sabbath album to borrow..i was instanly hooked at begged my parents to get me a guitar..i been playing guitar and off for over 40 years.hail black sabbath
When I was about 17, I was chillin' with some friends and we had this shit cranked up as loud as my friend's dad's impressive stereo system would go. The beginning of the song freaked the neighbor lady out. She was an older German lady, and she said it reminded her of the sirens during WWII, and we were like, "Uh...no shit, old lady!" Busted us up for days. This song is the SHIT and has been for 50 fucking years!!!
This song has hook after hook after hook. Soooo good. It gives me tingles whenever I hear it. Thanks guys. You have good comments and you are both funny.
I'm 52 and it does my heart good to see younger people discovering Sabbath. I first heard them when I was 12, and 40 years later it still rocks! And that message about the evils of war is fucking timeless. Any people in all of history who've known war, translate the lyrics into their language, and they'd get it.
great reaction, wish you had watched a lyric video instead. the video you watched has nothing to do with the song originally. love your reactions regardless.
This was my best friend and her husbands wedding song. 26 years later and they are the best couple I have ever seen. Still rocking their faces off, still loving.
The original name of the song was Walpurgis, and the lyrics are different also. It originally had nothing to do with war. I saw a video of Sabbath live in Paris singing it this way, but I don't know if it's still up. When they put it to an album, they changed the name and the lyrics.
You'd never know it looking at him today, but Ozzy is the man. Unfortunately, you can't do all the drugs in the whole wide world for years on end without looking like that. If you need another flavor of Black Sabbath, go listen to Heaven and Hell. Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Very different. Every bit as good.
For all he did, he looks not too bad, it's talking to him that's a little tough 😏😵😵😬😬 .. We used to watch The Osbournes, ehen they had their reality show and it was hysterical!!!
I'm only 33, but my mum was always singing the American songs in the kitchen. Sing never sang this one, but she played it und I liked it even then I knew it was something uncommon und worthy. :-)
Yup. A teenager during the 70s and going to Black Sabbath concerts. They. Were. Awesome! We saw 'em again in '13 and I felt like a teenager again. That song was originally written during the middle of the Viet Nam war and took the US by storm. But they never got airplay on ANY radio stations and still sold over a million albums here-------all by word of mouth! Now that's badass!
I love rock & roll, however, never ventured down the heavy metal side of rock too often, except for Black Sabbath, because the messages in their songs always touched home for me, and even more relevant now, and who could not love the dynamics if Ozzie's voice!!! Great review :)
Back in the 70s, when I was a teenager, this song blew my mind, just like all of Black Sabbath's songs did. You never heard it on the radio, there was no such thing as RU-vid. You only knew about Sabbath by word of mouth man. I was at a party and someone put Black Sabbath's first album on. The very first song, called Black Sabbath, absolutely had me entranced, mesmerized. It changed my life! Those dark, distorted guitar chords! Ozzy's scary vocals! The somber bass and drums! It was unlike anything I had heard before, and all I knew was that I liked it! Tony Iommi, Sabbath's guitar player, inspired me to stick with guitar practice. I just had to learn those guitar parts. Then when their 2nd album came out, called Paranoid, it had War Pigs. With War Pigs, Black Sabbath put themselves far beyond ordinary rock. In fact they invented what would become known as "doom rock" and of course heavy metal. The rest is history...
I was 17 when it first came came out in 1970, and at first the instruments attracted me to it..never heard anything quite like it before and I've loved Heavy Metal ever since!. My Fav metal album is the fifth Sabbath one 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'. Now I'm 66 and I still enjoy all Sabbaths albums, but especially the fifth one. Thanks for this review, its good to see someone appreciate this style of music.
