Black Sabbath Black Sabbath Reaction!! 

This track NEVER gets old man, as old as this is.....it's STILL the standard for heavy music. Blows your mind that this track is almost 50 years old.

This song kicked off an entire genre it's a true masterpiece.

This song created METAL...period. Not Zepllin....Sabbath is the godfather.

When Sori said she wants to listen to Ozzy Osbourne but she just did lol

this 3 note progression is called a tritone, and it was prohibited in the 1800s cause they said it was the sound of the devil

The song that created metal

Ozzys wail gives me freaking goosebumps everytime, oh my gosh

Imagine how some people reacted to this in the early 1970s.

Sabbath's certainly NOT a ''black metal'' band. Many of their songs are about love and peace, like ''Children Of The Grave.''

React to N.I.B of black sabbath ,please!!!

I always feel very humble listening to this song. Amazes me of how metal the first metal song actually is

Black Sabbath-Children of the Grave

What this band did was ground breaking for the genre of heavy metal. They laid down the blueprint for all generations of metal genres that exist today. Tony iommi’s guitar riffs can be heard in some sort of way in all metal. Geezer Butler’s bass lines were chilling that brought fear into you. Bill Ward is a master behind the drums. Ozzy’s voice was and still is a major influence in today’s singers. The fact that all original members are still alive is absolutely amazing. They are the Mount Rushmore of heavy metal period.

This is the song that started it all, hell ya🤘

50 years later and this song is still one of creepiest, darkest and heaviest things ever put on tape. Plus the fact that literally every riff section of it is the blueprint for everything Metal eventually evolved into. These guys were on another planet than everyone else in 1970.

BTW it was the bass player who saw the black shadow next to his bed he wrote these lyrics based on a real experience

The beginning of it all

in 2 years it will be 50 years ago

This song was written by bassist Geezer Butler. He wrote it after seeing a dark shape in the corner of his room, which appeared after he brought home a book on the occult, I believe.

Just started the video, so not sure if it's mentioned, but the notes Iommi is playing are called "the devil's tritone", which were seldom heard in music before this song, IIRC.

This song was made after I think their bassist had a night terror or sleep paralysis whatever you call it, where he had a black silhouette at the foot of his bed point at him and disappear. And also it's the first metal song ever

3 terrifying notes brought the birth of Doom metal

Classic jam. Classic band. I dig their Masters of Reality album. Especially the songs Children of the Grave and Into the Void. Solitude is a great melodic jam too

This is not only the first but the best metal song. The most pure.

Now its time for Symptons of the universe by sabbath ....beginning of thrash

Finally another Sabbath song!

the guitar work here is so raw. What a breeze.

it has been like 20 years and i still feel chills listening to this today, damn epicness is really something.

And thus Metal was born

This song was written about Black Sabbath’s bassist gezer Butler when ozzy gave him a book about black magic and he had put the book in a cupboard when he went to sleep he saw this figure at the end of his bed and he jumped out of his bed to throw the book but when he opened the cupboard the book was gone and that’s the story of this song

the beginning of heavy metal, tnx tony iommi...

1970 debut album. So iconic that it's hard to wrap your head around not growing up with it!

Deep Purple- Burn, Highway Star, Space Truckin', Fireball, Child in Time, Bloodsucker, Pictures of Home, Lazy, Flight of the Rat, Demon's Eye Black Sabbath- Sabbra Cadabra, Into the Void, Supernaut, Snowblind, NIB, Symptom of the Universe, Children of the Grave, A National Acrobat, Hand of Doom, Fairies Wear Boots Led Zeppelin- Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand, The Ocean, No Quarter, Bring it on Home, Over the Hills and Far Away, The Rover, How Many More Times, Immigrant Song, The Battle of Evermore

"Satan comes around the bend" rhymes with "Could this be the end my friend." Sometimes there's no deeper spiritual meaning behind a lyric, sometimes you just need something that fits. This is the first song off their first album, in 1970. While the music and lyrics aren't complicated, it was groundbreaking at the time. Definitely the early blueprint for metal.

Sabbath are so amazing cause they can make songs heavy without being fast. Awsome song, one of my favorites.

Love your show, keep up the good work !!!

The band that started it all. I think the very first to play and record ''The Devil's Chord'', or triad/tritone that's at the very beginning.

This is an intense song. Story goes that in the beginning, Black Sabbath dabbled in the occult and black magic. Their bassist, Geezer Butler, acquired this really old "book of shadows." A black magic spell book. Geezer kept it at his house in a cupboard. He swears that he was awoken during the night and saw a tall skinny figure made of shadow standing at the foot of his bed...pointing at him then to the cupboard. Paralyzed with fear, Geezer told the figure to take it. He then blacked out. Next morning, the book was GONE. This was supposedly the experience that led the band to realizing this was the wrong path...and to Ozzy becoming a Christian, wearing crosses and saying "God bless" and such. XD

The most influential song in my life.... that will ever be.

Close to 50 years Vin! I honestly can't imagine what it would have felt like to hear this back then. It still holds up to this day

Classic track, Get well soon Vin.

Never ceases to blow my mind that they wrote this song in 1969, roughly 50 years ago. I wish the whole album was this dark, slow and heavy. While they came close on occasion we didn't _quite_ get another song like this until the Dio-era 'After All (The Dead)', which is incidentally another one of my absolute favorites.

Very glad you guys don’t stop the songs.

Love your reactions! Great perspective on the songs!

I like to come back to this once in a while and laugh humorously at the 6.5 and 6.3 that you guys gave to the first Heavy Metal song. Written in 1969. Especially when you guys understand now just amazing Black Sabbath is.🤣

Black Sabbath - N.I.B please :)

Love you guys!!

This album was earth shattering, there was nothing like it when it was released.

Skid Row - Quicksand Jesus Slayer - Angel of Death Black Sabbath - Die Young

18:48 "I want to hear Ozzy Osborne too.." Can you sometimes have a third person who is from the era of some of these older songs to help you guys put it into a little perspective. This was very different to most other stuff on the radio at the time. As plenty of people are saying, this was the first heavy metal song. Sure, Deep Purple was around at the same time, but they had just released a cover of Neil Diamonds "Kentucky Woman".

The first metal song. Here is the starting point for all metal.

Everytime I hear this song I get a chill! Thanks...

First song from their first album. 1970!

Black Sabbath is far from black metal...the song name is from the Boris Karloff movie of the same name and the band quickly adopted the name Black Sabbath as well. The song as maybe u eluded too, is more of a warning. There is no glorification of the devil. It’s a warning...as many of Sabbath songs were. You want a shell shock listen to their song “After Forever “.

I love your Reactions!!!!!

This was the birth of Heavy Metal 🤘🤘 thank you Black Sabbath........... God bless Ozzy 🤘🤘

If you guy do another Black Sabbath song in the future, please do hand of doom.

My experience Vin and Sori: This happened two times prior to me becoming Christian. 1> Living with mom @ the time, worked at a music store, was a Satanist (true, not LaVeyan)... At night on the weekend something tried to take possession of me IMHO because what happened was I was dreaming (so I thought) flying over a field like in the movie Flatliners from 1990 - but this happened in 1988. I looked behind me and something was pursuing me that looked like a demon to me, but was sort of invisible. I went faster, it went faster. The moment it caught up to me I woke up, looked at the clock which was about 2:35am, and I heard a growl deeper than any animal. My mother woke up and asked me what it was and I said I don't know. That was the end of that time. 2> The same event happened a few years later around 1994 I believe, but I lived alone at the time, and the difference was when I woke I couldn't move, but the clock indicated 2:35am again. The growl happened again, then I realized the growl came from me when I couldn't move. I felt like I was being forced asleep. Out of desperation, I called out to God verbally, and demand it leave in Jesus' name, and within seconds I could move and it felt as though it was gone. Surprisingly, I did not become Christian after these experiences, but many years later I did... it took me roughly 15 more years before I did... so there it is. If nobody believes me I really don't care. This is what I experienced and I was messing with some very dark shit at the time, so it is no surprise this happened to me. What I am surprised about is that it didn't win and possess me. I was very lucky the first time, and the second time it was clear to me God intervened.

Sabbath created it, Priest gave it an identity, Maiden perfected it

Type O Negative covered this song and its the creepiest thing I ever heard. Peter's voice lends itself very well!!!

More Iron Maiden!

Manowar - Bridge of Death

This song was written by Geezer Butler, cause he had a dream during the recording of this record, that's where these lyrics came from. Geezer is such a great writter

outstanding song an thanks for the reaction guys ;)

Vin and Sori, there is an interesting story as an inspiration behind this song. At the time some of Black Sabbath members were heavily into occult and other dark shit. So one day the bassist Geezer Butler was looking through books in some old bookstore and found an ancient book written in Latin with some satanic and occult illustrations. Some sort of Necronomicon. So he bought the book, skimmed through it at home, put it on the bookshelf and went to sleep, very happy with his purchase. Then he woke up at night and what he saw scared the living shit out of him. There was a dark figure in his room standing near the bookshelf with that book in his hand, pointing at Geezer with the other hand. After some time the figure vanished and when Geezer looked at the bookshelf in the morning, the book was also gone. So Geezer told about his experience to Ozzy Osbourne and he wrote the lyrics for the song. Of course, you've got to take this story with a grain of salt, I am pretty sure they were all pretty high most of the time. Still, cool story. Also, another interesting fact. The ominous riff used throughout the song uses the harmonic progression long known in Western music as "diabolus in musica", because long ago it's sinister qualities had been noticed by musicians and associated with satanic shit. It is one of the first times this particular progression was used in rock music though and it was highly influential in metal. PS Also congrats to France, new world champions.

This is not black metal, this is THE Heavy Metal, this song started it all. You should try "Dirty Women" and "Megalomania". Also don't forget "Into the void", since you're into heavy riff.

Used to play this song first at our Halloween shows... LOL. Brings back so many great memories ..!! We made a casket that some friends would bring out on stage while we started the song. Right before the vocal line our singer would break out to start....LOL. I’m smiling thinking about it. These old songs you can interpret in so many different ways. Never happened to me.. nice video as always. Have a great day you two..!!

I love the way the context of the song changes in the end going so faster than the entire song

ANGEL OF DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice video by the way!

Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath (Dio era) please!

The song you play as the world is ending.........the soundtrack to the apocalypse

one of my favorite songs!!!

You guys do know that Black Sabbath is not Black Metal right?.

I've had some of them "supernatural experiences". They always happened when falling asleep or trying to do so. The common thing of all of them was that I couldn't breath, I was paralyzed, and I felt some abstract "terror" to something unspecified. In a couple of occasion I felt an "evil presence" lurking behind me (which could be in the matress, since I sleep on my back). Once I heard it whispering, but I couldn't get what it was saying as far as I remember. Another time I felt floating and leaving my body, even above the room, however I didn't see anything that I couldn't see (i.e. I didn't see my neighbours upstairs or anything). More than afraid, I was puzzled, but it happened that I was reading Carl Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World", and I got to a chapter where he talks about hallucinations and sleep paralysis, which kind of explained what was that. Furthermore, my father is a psychologist, so I asked him and I told him my experience, and he said nonchalantly "oh, yeah, that's called 'hypnogogic hallucination'. Are you stressed?" I had some more of them, always when I'm stressed, and most of the times when falling asleep as opposed to waking up. With the time I learned to know when I was going to have one and to avoid it (forcing myself to move something like a finger or a foot when I'm getting "paralyzed", which causes the whole body to "wake up", just in case somebody is interested). So that's it. Some people may interpret it as alien abductions, other as some demon, specifically an "incubus" in medieval christianity, etc. Does that prove that there is something supernatural that people interpret as whatever, or that the brain sometimes does strange things and people interpret them as supernatural? The fact that the causes are known, can be avoided, it is comorbid with sleep issues and psychological conditions, etc. points to the latter. No offense, but if you think that that's an arrogant crazy explanation, well, I'm sorry for you.

METALS BEGINNIG!! GOT TO RESPECT!!

In a radio interview around 1980 with Jim Ladd from KLOS in Los Angeles, Waters said part of the song is about the time he got hepatitis but didn't know it. Pink Floyd had to do a show that night in Philadelphia, and the doctor Roger saw gave him a sedative to help the pain, thinking it was a stomach disorder. At the show, Roger's hands were numb "like two toy balloons." He was unable to focus, but also realized the fans didn't care because they were so busy screaming, hence "comfortably" numb. He said most of The Wall is about alienation between the audience and band. Exploring further, Mojo asked Waters about the line, "That'll keep you going through the show," referring to getting medicated before going on-stage. He explained: "That comes from a specific show at the Spectrum in Philadelphia (June 29, 1977). I had stomach cramps so bad that I thought I wasn't able to go on. A doctor backstage gave me a shot of something that I swear to God would have killed a f---ing elephant. I did the whole show hardly able to raise my hand above my knee. He said it was a muscular relaxant. But it rendered me almost insensible. It was so bad that at the end of the show, the audience was baying for more. I couldn't do it. They did the encore about me." I know this is coming in late, but I just found y’all. This should have explained the lyrics of “Comfortably Numb”.

Iron Maiden - The Legacy please!

Carach angren - when crows tick on windows

Ozzy gave Geezer an old black magic book before he saw the figure in black. He got rid of the book right away. Crazy

12:20 Black Sabbath is the ULTIMATE "remember that guy?" kind of band.

Funny thing that you mentioned the night terror or sleep paralysis. I've actually had that experience happen 2 me during a time that was very negative in my life from a lot of the things that we're going on in my house and one night I was sleeping in my basement and suddenly while I was asleep I had this feeling that I was like drowning as if I were being sucked into the couch that I was sleeping on so as I struggled to breathe I finally kind of snapped out of the sleep that I was in and technically I wasn't fully awake nor was I fully asleep I was kind of in that in-between phase of being awake and asleep and as I began to wake up I could see this dark shadow figure standing over top of me with its arm stretched out as if it were choking me in my sleep and I think that is where I got the feeling of that I was drowning or that I was being suffocated now mind you a basement that is Pitch Black and I could still see the outline of this shadow figure standing over top of me. Once I put my way out of its grasp and I finally was fully awake and I popped up off the couch the thing just disappeared out of sight and I know for a fact that I was not dreaming I know what I saw when I woke up this thing was real and I could see it. I don't know if this is like some kind of demon or multiple demons and this is how they get to People by putting them in the state of sleep paralysis. But this phenomenon is extremely scary and very real and it falls into its own category as does ghost apparitions demons devils and then you have Shadow People. But I do remember when this was happening I could not move I could not move a muscle all I could do was look over and I saw this thing had the outline of like a human but it was a shadow and it was looming over top of me and I know that I saw it. So I figured I'd share my experience with everyone since the topic was brought up on his video.

Please give Type O Negative's version of this song a listen.. Love your reactions.

I remember getting chills when I listened to this in 1970.

Finally you did the song that started it all! The first song on the first album by Black Sabbath. I remember hearing this for the first time in the early 70s. I was in 7th grade and they played this record at a party. I heard the rain and thunder, and then those opening chords. It changed my life man. I had never heard anything so dark and powerful and utterly cool before. I bought the album, figured out the song and covered it with my first band. Tony Iommi had this cool lick based on the tritone, Geezer Butler wrote these fucked up lyrics after he had a scary vision. Bill Ward's drumming is to die for, so ominous and tasteful, and Ozzy's singing, so passionate and clear. Great song to do guys!

This is more doom metal then black metal song.

Review Dark funeral - my funeral. Its a great video and lyrics.

this is where it started for me summer 77,listen to this song in a dark room with headphones..without defecating.

Oh my god, they did it. Yes!

17:03 Science doesn't remotely say that we know everything there is to know, dude - science is always questioning

Lots of great Black Sabbath try NIB

Awesome song I love Black Sabbath 🤘

The master of all: Album 1 - Side 1 - Track 1 👌
