Black Sabbath War Pigs (First Time Hearing) Reaction!! 

hey polo in the background of the song its air raid sirens but modified

Two of their lesser known songs that I love are electric funeral and God is dead

poloreacts27 Your are hearing the birthing cries of Heavy Metal being born, neighbor….

Listen to the wizard

Air Raid sirens

And one of the very few mainstream songs that addresses the aggressive nature of pigs.

Which is the saddening part of it. War. War never changes.

More relevant. Day of judgement is coming.

It's timeless.

Did you copy and paste a comment of mine from another reviewer... :p

Absolutely agree! He BASHES the heck out of them!!!

@@chrismartin6370 but not just mindlessly bashing either, his playing is full of tasty little fills, and he never does TOO much.

Ageeed! The Paranoid album is a drum album.

Sharron Osbourne is the blame for that....

Drum sets fear Bill Ward, man has no mercy. Ward's roots are in jazz, that's where those great fills come from.

I'm so sorry, how awful. Much love to your mom💝

My mom was scared of church bells when she got older. She was living in the country when the war was present in Germany as a child. The villages didn't had sirens but Church bells.

My Mom was a young girl living in London when the war began. She was evacuated to live with strangers in the countryside which she hated, but returned after a while. As a lad I played with toy soldiers and tanks and aircraft and loved watching films about WWII, and one day something must have touched a nerve because she told me how completely terrifying it all was. Walking through London and hearing the sirens wailing, the sound of bombs, how she was given a gas mask, how one day the back of her house was blown in, how V1 missiles would drone overhead before suddenly going silent then exploding moments later. The fear never really left her.

100%

Back then, good guitarists also had to be melodic…. Nowadays, most just play loud and fast, which is why metal has faded greatly.

Yeah 👍 and he called it Police horns 😂

I’m surprised that he doesn’t know what that sound was and means.

Well did America have wwll sirens?

Yes, yes they did

We had them in Iraq during SCUD missile attacks, pretty much unchanged sound since WW2. Still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

It HAS aged quite well. And has gotten even more poignant ofer the last 23 years...

Better than any music they put out today, that's for sure.

@@kylerjones4411 I would give to you 1000 👍

Exactly

I probably heard this song hundreds of times by the time I was 10 years old. Just because I grew up in the 70's.

Agreed. I love both Ozzy and Dio. Ozzy once said that he wished they had changed the name of the band when Dio took over because it wasn't Black Sabbath without him. Dio was offended by those remarks but anybody who loves Sabbath knows that truer words were never spoken.

The good old days. When you could buy a cassette at a bait store. I’d like to meet the bait store owner.

That’s a great story

Black Sabbath and Ozzy's solo albums are some of the best songs ever heard.

At Lincoln we use an Air Raid Siren whenever the Imps take a corner......we don't get out much!

Lol

Some racist town still use the sirens to tell the non-whites it’s time to leave town…. Example, Minden NV

@@darcychurch9749 90% of everything you read on the internet is a lie. --Abraham Lincoln

@@darcychurch9749 ah, fucking sundown towns. Some days, I am embarrassed for my country...

God bless Bill Ward and you and your family.

Stems and seeds baby, Iam old school too

🤣🤘

Seeds popping all over the place.

It might be the most socially powerful song ever. I mean war is truly horrible and horrific and no young men should ever be sent to die for their leaders. No matter the side you’re on. This song is a human song. Far more than just social . This is humans calling out other humans for the worst atrocities we commit toward each other

@@stevefromyellowstone7911 That's what all the transgressive music genres have always been about. Metal, Goth, Punk, even early Rap. It was always about shouting out a defiance of injustice and calling attention to problems that can and should be addressed.

​@Steve From Yellowstone but what if.... some men look forward to it... I know odd right? But what if some men feel free amongst the riggors of combat....what if....

@@gysgthumes Yes, defective people exist. that's what mental health care is for.

I saw a commentary on another video - Critics: Ozzy worships the devil. Ozzy in all the live videos: God bless you all 🤣

@@MikeKelly2112 YES! Also, the lyrics from one of his own songs: "They say I worship the devil; they must be stupid or blind." 😂🤣

Most of their lyrics are explicitly Christian, lol

Your Dad is correct

All Ozzy sings about is the wickedness in this world

At 11 my brother sat me down with headphones and put on Uriah Heep live "Gypsy". It forever changed me

it's even worse with this super cringey video.

Or just listen to it ozzy aint hard to understand in this song

@@jonathangarcia6784 fr it's not like he's speaking greek... the lyrics are very clear.

@@Annonymous0283745 did it make the song worse?

especially since there is a version iv'e ran into on Pandora a bit lately that is the "pitch" version or something, regardless it has completely different lyrics.

My favourite live performance from the 70's!

....Nobody cares, almost all songs are the same song if drums are completely removed.... So incredibly, annoyingly, tired of people making stupid comments about drums....

@@Rayvn7 that makes your comment rather ironic

@@Rayvn7 Drums help define the mood. I strive to express the emotional sound of Neil Peart or Danny Carey to others in my attitude. Your emotional output sounds like a wet blanket right now.

Bill Ward on drums .The man is not human... he is from another world sent to blow our minds with his craft ...

THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF LESSOR KNOWN STUFF.

Definitely a “stank” face song….

It is considered the best metal album of all time by many for a reason.

I never caught that in all of my times listening to it! Good take!

Geezer is a beast

I always thought the king was Bonham, but Ward makes him look like Charlie Watts lol

@@loadedorygun 😂 If you've ever seen someone beating the cræp outta a drum kit while looking like he's possessed, look no further... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K3b6SGoN6dA.html

Roll a big one close eyes take trip on memory lane

Sounds like a plan🤟👍

Thor would need two hammers to equal the force of Bill!

Freaking incredible story!

Yeah that’s just amazing, I saw them in 78, front stage

@bina nocht ⌨🤺

12 months to agree is nothing when it comes to Bill Ward

Ironman is what turned me on th Black Sabbath

Sweet Leaf although short song is still good

Man… now I’m be up for a while listening to all of these again.

I have hear and loved them all since I was a baby

Heard**

LOL I grew up hearing those. My father was in the US Air Force. I grew up in the late 70s and 80s. from 1974-79 we were on Guam, and those things would go off at least once or twice a week. It was always just a drill, never a real attack. But all us kids had to jump up and dive under our school desks every time. Because, you know, your average school desk will shield you from a bomb blast LOL

I gotta second this. Showcases the talent of all band members...but especially Bull Ward. He beats the drums like they were calling him Bobby Brown and asking him to come back to bed.

Hand of Doom is so underrated IMO

Bill Ward had a lot of experience before Sabbath with Jazz drumming.

And later comes the great Joey Jordison. Three dudes with mega chops

You are so right Bill and Bonzo were great friends also..

Like the air raid sirens at the start 😏

Damn you a Sabbath fan too... such great taste... in reactors and music. :p

@DJ TURTLE Hi DJ you are uncovering my tastes as you say you seem to be on my wave length.😊🤗👍

Reminds me of the chant of a Judaic cantor.

Amen. 🥁 Bill Ward’s f’kn incredible- check out “Andrew Rooney Drums” for drum teacher reaction and appreciation of Bill Ward, Bonzo, Yoyoka and many more. 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼

Yeah I'm kinda surprised he didn't comment on the particular way he makes the bass sound. Plus he goes pretty wild during one of the guitar solos.

Those instructions (duck & cover) were insane!
