BLACK SABBATH - Paranoid | Singer Reacts & Musician Analysis 

Terence BUTLER affectionately nicknamed GEEZER by his older brother. One the nicest and most talented musicians of the era.

Bill Ward's fabulous drumming is best featured on "War Pigs" live in Paris.

Geezer is the glue of the band.. he writes a lot of what they did including lyrics

A classic banger! This song never gets old. Keep on rocking 🎸 🎸 🥁 🥁 😊🎉❤

Toni Iommi is one of the creators of heavy metal. Perhaps the very father of the heavy metal guitar sound. Back when he was just a young man, he was working in a mill and chopped off the tips of two of fingers. So he had to make some "pads" for his fingers. But they couldn't work with fine strings. So he bought 'heavy metal" strings for his guitar. It made a deep and rich sound....la! And we hear it very clear on this song!

Rangemaster treble boost for the solo win. And as ever Geezer Butler's bass line is the secret sauce.

Crazy how this song was written and recorded in 20 mins as a filler for the album "War Pigs". The record company change the name of the album to paranoid, without the band knowing. You should also check out Sober by Tool at the reading festival

I think for a lot of us Paranoid was our introduction to the band. It is one of those songs that used to be included on every rock or metal compilation alongside the likes of Since you been gone & Ace of spades. It was a massive song for them as it reached #4 in the UK singles chart and it took them another 8 years before they hit the chart again with Never say die at #21. Paranoid was their first and biggest hit single, hence the inclusion on all those compilations. While some people will say it is overplayed or they have tired of it, for me it is still one of their best songs. That riff is just so god damn recognisable.

"That sounds heavy..." welcome to the birth of Heavy Metal. Didn't exist before these guys

Paranoid was written as a fill in song at last minute

Hey there 1 of my first songs i heard of Sabbs way back when i was a young lad in 72. Awesome , still listening now it wont leave you ever !!!

Saw them in concert. We all went nuts when they played Paranoid.

My mum saw these live in the 70s and Ozzy started the show by bursting out of a coffin

The drummer Bill Ward will blow your socks off if you watch Black Sabbath War Pigs in Paris 1970.

you found an awesome recording of them :) love you Millie, love your content, you are AWESOME!

First heavy metal song ever, created by a series of bizarre accidents. Tommy Iommi worked in a factory in Birmingham and before he turned pro, as a musician, an industrial accident wore his fingers down almost to the bone on his fret hand. So, in order to relieve the pressure on his fingers he had to loosen the strings on his guitar(Gibson SG), thereby deepening the tone. After recording their first album they needed another track, so, on the spot, Iommi came up with the riff and Geezer Butler wrote the lyrics. Clearly, Geezer is not the name his mama gave him, but the name he came to be known as on the backstreets of Birmingham. He was the leader of the band. Ozzie is a legend. Maybe the best rock singer of all time. They were laughed at by the British musical press when their first album was released. Well done and thank you, Geezette!

Fun fact, it's one of most well know metal riffs of all time and it only happens in the intro.

BLACK SABBATH IS THE FATHER OF METAL… FIRST SONG, FIRST ALBUM…. BLACK SABBATH, BLACK SABBATH IT STARTS HERE… ROCK ON 👊🖖

On October 1, the premiere of a stunningly beautiful video for the song “Baikal” took place on Diana Ankudinova’s RU-vid channel. The soundtrack performed by Diana became the main musical theme of the film “The Spirit of Baikal,” which will be released in wide release on October 19, 2023. In the film itself, Diana voiced two roles - the spirit of Lake Baikal and the voice of the soul of the deceased mother of the main character of the film. The film received several top awards at film festivals.

My favorite band growing up & still to this day)))They started out under the name Earth & played the blues. They changed their name to Black Sabbath in 1969, there was a movie playing in the cinema across the street from the revenue they were playing at called Black Sabbath & they decided to change their name to that along with their style of music to what just heard)) Some song suggestions are After Forever,, Symptoms Of The Universe, Changes, Dirty Women, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.. Keep rocking)))

really really great to see "younger" people getting to know great rock/metal!

Bill Ward , another drummer from the Birmingham area (UK) and John Bonham's (Led Zeppelin) mate. Both on the gigging circuit in the 60's.

Millie, I saw this band in Miami around 1970 when they first come to town. Loved their sound when I first heard them on the radio and immediately went out and bought their album. Still love those early albums.

The original Black Sabbath was: Anthony Frank Iommi (Tony Iommi, guitar)... Terence Michael Joseph Butler (Geezer Butler, bass)... William Thomas Ward (Bill Ward, drums) ... and John Michael Osbourne (Ozzy Osbourne, vocals) ... Formed in Birmingham around 1968 originally as a blues cover band Earth, changing their name to Black Sabbath in 1969 after the first song they had written together - it was inspired by a 1940's horror movie 'Black Sabbath' (which was playing in a movie across the band's rehearsal space)... The band's debut album in 1970 and 2nd album 'Paranoid' the same year, provided the foundations of what would become heavy metal and hard rock music... They influenced everyone from Van Halen to Metallica to Guns N' Roses to Nirvana to KoRn to Nine Inch Nails to Tool ... and beyond. Ozzy Osbourne wanted to become a rock n' roll singer in 1967 after spending a stint in jail as a teen. His dad bought him a P.A. system and Ozzy put up an ad at a local music store... He met Geezer Butler (who played guitar) through the ad and played in his first band... Then, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward saw the ad, and Tony Iommi knew Ozzy from school (he used to bully Ozzy) and decided to look him up (it was the same Ozzy he knew)... They decided to form a new band w/ Butler and Ozzy and soon, there were just the 4 of them. In 1969, they heard the first Led Zeppelin record and knew that Robert Plant and John Bonham were from Birmingham... They wanted to play that style of 'heavy rock' and amped up what Led Zeppelin were doing. By 1970, Black Sabbath had their own sound and were touring America... They recalled that the first US tour was at a club in the East Coast and they were playing L.A. Forum in the West Coast (where Led Zeppelin played) ... That's how fast Black Sabbath rose in popularity. Sadly, Black Sabbath's excessive substance abuse and legal fights, as well as internal turmoil, ended up splitting the original band after Ozzy was fired in 1979 and went on to have a huge solo career in the 80's. Black Sabbath carried on w/ numerous vocalists, including Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, and Tony 'Cat' Martin... but it was the original band w/ Ozzy Osbourne that is the most iconic and commercially successful.

Hey I wanted to say that I love your channel and you are a amazing musician and singer. Also a very beautiful lady.

May I suggest that you pay special attention to Geezer on that electric bass. The drummer is the world famous Bill Ward! I saw this band way back in the 1970's!!!!! Way before you were born!!!! A fine concert, I mean DAMN great.......... Now young lady you must check out NIB live in Paris in 1970... Geezer is tearing up on that one. Oh yeah!!!!!! They were SO young in that one. BUT they had a killer sound.

Band line-up is: Jophn Ozzy Osbourne - vocal; Tony Iommi - guitar; Terry 'Geezer' Butler - Bass: Bill Ward - drums.

One of my favorite Black Sabbath hits. But, it has always amazed me that Ozzie talks like a slurring drunk with a mouthful of marbles but when he sings his voice is so clear and his pronunciation is distinct. The magic of music, I guess.

Bill Word is the Drums, the Bassist is the Geezer Butlon.

they originally wrote this song to fill space on the album...

Vocals-Ozzy Osbourne, Guitar-Tony Iommi, Drums- Bill Ward, Bass- Geezer Butler

4am and im already headbanging, this gona be a good day

Takes me back to my teens. Some of my friends called it "a load of noise", but I liked it, as well as a lot of Prog. Can we comment on "Geezer" Butler's bass playing and Bill Ward's constant driving drumming. Geezer real name is Terence, but who wants a Terry in their band? This was on BBC1 TOTP Top of The Pops.

Fine reaction. If you think the introduction to this song was scary and if you want more Black Sabbath, well... then I recommend for you... "Black Sabbath"! 😅 That's it, there's no mistake! The name of the band is Black Sabbath, the album's title is Black Sabbath, and the song title is "Black Sabbath"! And you still want more Black Sabbath?? 😂 Ok, here you are: "N.I.B."; "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"; "Sabbra Cadabra"; "Changes"; "War Pigs"; "Sympathy for the Devil"; and the good but underrated "The Shining", from Black Sabbath's album "The Eternal Idol" (1987). Ah, yeah, and the name of one of the greatest guitarists in Rock History is Tony Iommi! 😉👍

Millie, I found a cover of this classic that YOU MUST watch!!!! It is ---- "Buckets the Drummer Paranoid by Black Sabbath covered in the bathroom" When you watch get ready for some intense head banging!!! It is fun yet pretty good. It has 66 K thumbs up.

I know you reacted to this awhile ago. Ive always loved this song. Have you reacted to War Pigs? If not i know you would love it. The one with the official video is very touching.

Black sabbath, sim incrível. ❤🔥

Geezer Butler is the perfect bassist's name, and so is Leo Lyons. Leo was the awesome bass player for Ten Years After.

Tony Iommi has written some of the most iconic metal riffs in history and he had three or four of his fingertips chopped off in some kind of manufacturing accident. Hella crazy

You should run through the whole Album! Named after the title track Paranoid

Drummer's name is Bill Ward. Bassist Terry "Geezer" Butler

Word Bill - Battery Tonny Iôni - Guitar Geezer Butlon - Low Ozzy Osbourne - vocals

Rock on Millie 🤘 🎸🎵

More Sabbath song "musts", in no particular order, you might try are: Sweet Leaf__Sabbath Bloody Sabbath__Black Sabbath__N.I.B.__Fairies Wear Boots__Electric Funeral__Into the Void__Children of the Grave ... and I could go on. Geezer (Terry) Butler, on bass, wrote most of Sabbath's lyrics.

Great reaction and great song. Some other if you like are N.I.B. Iron man , War Pigs . Just a few. I hear Ozzy is going be doing one last album and tour. The pod cast is tomorrow (Tuesday) There could be talk about his last album. I'm not sure about it.

This was 🔥🔥🔥💥🔥🔥🔥. Only complaint too short. Songs needed to be short to get on the radio back then. I really dig this and Iron Man by them.

Someone I'm sure told you but the bass player is geezer Butler

Great reaction Millie! By the way, the bassist nickname is Geezer. His real name is Terry Butler. Can you learn to play the bass like that Millie? 😎

Geezer Butler is killing it on bass

A music journalist at the time described Sabbath’s music as sounding like Heavy Metal intending to denegrate them. But he made them the first ever Heavy Metal Band, I hope they bought him a drink!

Look at Heaven and He'll with Die Your. It's Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Very good guitar and bass

I love this Song ...

You should listen to Grand Funk's song Paranoid from the red album. Different song completely, and if you love bass, it's got a killer bass riff . . .

The drummers name is bill ward

Two down, now to complete your intro trifecta for Black Sabbath might I suggest 'Iron Man'. Then perhaps something from his solo works and perhaps my favorite song of all songs ever! 'Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train'. Cheers.

Very goooooooooooddd❤

TO-Nee I O Mee 🤙🤘

Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘

Hi there Millie, For your information (fact Check me on this) Sabbath got sued over this song. Some kid was into it. And killed himself. His family filed a suit. The court ruled that he killed himself by his own hand. The drummer is Bill Ward. He is a master drummer. The bass man is Geezer.. But you found out before this video was over. You girl have a lot of fans!!!! YOU............. Take care.

Hand of doom

Although there are many arguments about who invented Heavy Metal, most Rock Critics defer to Black Sabbath. In America I would defer to Blue Cheer as the American inventors of the genre.

Bill ward ....drummer. geezer butler bass

Bill Ward is the drummer

Terry "Geezer" Butler

Geezer Butler. Real name Terence Michael Joseph Butler. Geezer was an early nickname. Look it up. Kind of hard to explain w/o going into a lot of detail that makes a lot of sense. (Doesn't mean what you think it means). Just gotta accept the short version as is. Just a man.

🎵🥁🎸🎤🇬🇧

They named a song for Geezers beard. NIB
