BLACK SABBATH - War Pigs | Reaction 

Faith No More does a killer cover of War Pigs as well as The Commadores "Easy".

You're right every guy in the band was a true master of their talent. I was lucky enough to see them live in 76.

Children of the Grave Live from Cal Jam

Smaller the set, the better the drummer!

I'm sure you may know that this is a different version of lyrics for this song Still good

Also the primary lyricist of the band.

Whoever filmed it must not have known the band. That is the best excuse I can think of.

Back in those days you were lucky to get clip of anyone but the singer

Bass players are typically in the background. Speaking as a bassist

What's the difference between a bass player and a hardwood floor? The floor can support a family.

So was Bonham's

Got to sit on side of stage when they performed at Madison Square Garden during song" Ironman" ...Frank Zappa was in town and introduced the band and everyone went crazy..nice surprise for everyone 😁this was latter 70's

Grand Funk too, drummer small kit..powerhouse drumming and sound!

No creams drummer was ginger baker 😅

Great song

Hahaha ! So true. Or they hooked up with his girlfriend and he found out about it, lol.

It sounds more revolutionary today in this world of bullsh1t

Bill Ward was a jazz Drummer 😂

Only complaint is the lyrics he sings is not from the album and it messes up the concert in my head... but I rock thru it and still love it 🤘🏽😎

@@PML78 It took them a while to get the lyrics all worked out, you can click on 4 early live performances and essentially get 4 different versions of the track

​@PML78 this version is when the song was called "Walpurgis", especially prominent in the second verse before the chorus. This performance had the original lyrics

for me the greatest band ever... better than beatles, rolling stones and led zeppelin together... 50 years and not a single bad song... only maiden can touch them...

​@@seelenwinter6662impossible to even make comparisons as each of the bands you named are iconic and are equally famous. Every band has their own notable style and esp their drummers ans guitarists. They're a the best of the best. Not cool to try to put 1 over all.

@@_nay__”for me”

Forgot to add.. this is 1970. People were listening to Hey Jude and these guys drop this shit on the world.

Bill Ward is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me GAWD!!!

His background was jazz 😂

makes money

Ha, Dusty, I just wrote more or less the same comment as you at around the same time!

The term actually came from the 1968 Steppenwolf song Born to be Wild but I'm not sure how long it took to actually become a moniker for the genre at large. It could be argued that some late Beatles tracks and some Hendrix tracks qualified as heavy metal before the genre broke out proper with Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly, and Steppenwolf. But all those other bands covered a more diverse range of rock music, while Black Sabbath has always played what we now classify as metal even before that term was commonplace. So I think it's proper to call Sabbath the first true heavy metal band, as long as we give the other founding fathers their credit as well.

You nailed it. Being 67 and growing up with all of this, I completely agree. I bought “Are you experienced” in ‘67 and was just blown away by Purple Haze. A writer around that time characterized the song as, metal raining down like rain. And of course as you mentioned, Heavy metal thunder, in Born to be wild. Along with the sounds of some other very heavy sounds of the late sixties. Great stuff.

There were definitely at least a handful of metal songs prior, but Sabbath is very likely the first metal band. Early metal has considerable overlap with rock. There's no real way to distinguish one from the other without omitting some vital piece of metal history on a technicality. Lemmy's classic opener was always, "We are Motorhead, and we play Rock N Roll." Way I see it, if the guys making the music don't care about the label, I don't think we should sweat it.

My favorite concert. Ever.

Tony Iommi and his story is truly inspirational. They all are gods...

Thanks for naming the band members. They definitely don't get the credit that is due to them.

No that was Keith Moon of the Who.

@@lynette. I've heard Keith Moon & the Muppet wiki mentions Mick Fleetwood, but I can't help but see a lot of Bill in Animal.

@@snarkyguy2657 You just have to look at his bushy eyebrows to know its Keith Moon 😅

I was gonna say the exact same thing. 😁

Dude...Genius pick up. You're dead on there! Can't help but see him sitting in now. Lol!

I’m 62 and heard this at 11 and it made quite the impact on me. But it was my 2 year older brother who had the album and played it over and over. It has always stayed with me.

I am a little younger probably heard it in the late 70s on my dad's reeel to reel. He had one full of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Wore that reel out when he wasnt home LOL

Love Paranoid. We're a few yrs older than you. Game changing lp for sure.

Made me grow my hair long at 9 yrs old!

I had the wall poster too.

💯 🤘🏽😎

Ozzy on tv needs subtitles Ozzy singing and you can hear every word perfectly 😂😂

FACTS!!!!

He has a reaction video for Hand Of Doom...👍👍👍 he's gotta do Lord Of This World and Into The Void🤘🤘🤘

I must agree. I was 15 when this particular gig was recorded. The three aforementioned bands were all coming into their stride. To this day all three bands still figure prominently in my playlist.

Yes The only thing that messes me up is the lyrics is different from the album but... I just rock on singing it as I know it SATAN LAUGHING SPREADS HIS WINGS🤘🏽😎

The accident occurred when he was 17 years old and working in a place that produced sheet metal. After the tips of some of the fingers of his right hand were cut off he was depressed, and thought that his dream of becoming a rock guitarist was dead. I believe it was one of his coworkers that encouraged him to overcome the tragedy, and introduced him to the music of guitarist Django Reinhardt. Reinhardt was an amazing performer who only had the use of two fingers and the thumb of his left hand. The fourth and fifth fingers had been badly burned. Tony Iommi was inspired after listening to Django Reinhardt, and the rest is history.
