The band Black Sabbath. Four mystic Christians wrote on mysticism, religion and the soul. Most of their songs covered love, the universe, the afterlife, reincarnation and karma. Also astronomical science and many other concepts such as human behaviour and sex. Four mystical musicians mostly completely misunderstood by the general public and media. As musicians, they were virtuosos, groundbreaking and influenced by the blues, Jazz and heavy rock and a touch of medieval folk. Musically irreplaceable and as listeners, we are truly privileged.

Saw him fall over after this song on the Sabbatoge tour in Philly at the Spectrum. I know Ward left the band basically because of the road life. Drinking and the stuff that seems to catch up to a lot of great people and musicians. I get it. God bless Mr Ward. July of 1975 this SABBATOGE record was released. A fantastic lp. All these records where fantastic. Speaking of overlooked. The last lp with Ozzy. Never say die. Jazz influence tunes like “Air Dance.” And super heavy tunes like Shockwave. I love the music the original line up made together

This is a band where everyone believed in each other. The drummer was not just some afterthought chap they left banging away in a corner. They all seemed motivated to give each other their very best, it just shows in the music. You can hear that they all want to make the song the best it can be, because none of them are sticking to formula. Bill Ward is given a lead role in this song like few other drummers were at the time. There is a reason that unlike a lot of their peers, the entire band is credited as writers on almost every song.

@mikeg.4211 Год назад

Well said. This is especially true of Iommi, who wrote the music, and Butler, who wrote the lyrics, and were by any normal standards the great songwriting team, but there were no egos involved.

Bill Watds drumming is from a jazz background. For Black Sabbath Bill Ward took his jazz skills and kicked it up a notch. Bill Ward said in an interview from about a year ago was that he no longer has the stamina to plat Black Sabbath tunes and is rather enjoying having gone back to jazz.

Bill grew up in Birmingham, and he said he would lay in bed at night listening to the heavy hammers slamming the metal in the factories, and got this beat in his head from the sound of it. He also said his dad had the big bands of the day always playing. That's where he got the jazz influence.

Hi Andrew, 1st one of your vid's I've seen. Great reaction, interesting to see a drummer listen to Bill Ward. I'm not a drummer, but he always seemed like he could really swing almost a jazzy way, but beat the drums like a savage too, and play almost orchestral like fills like all through this song. Sabbath's magic was partially because they were so complementary. Bill was a great player, he and Geezer were a great rhythm section, again could swing or rock like mad, Geezer wrote wonderful lyrics (eg War Pigs, Hand of Doom), Tony was the riff master and a super writer and arranger and ring master, and Ozzy had a gift for coming up with melodies and also a strong and really unique voice. They were so complementary, and like you said, had great chemistry. I don't know all the songs you've done, but check out Hand of Doom if haven't, it's a great drum song. And listening through the whole albums is great idea, they hold together best that way. The first 6 Sabbath albums are just stone cold classics.

Black Sabbath is one person, guitarist, and songwriter Toni Iommi. He carried the band without the rest of the members in a glorious way. The rest of the musicians are great, Geezer, Ward, Cozy Powell, Ronnie Dio, innie Appice, But one main songwriter, Iommi. Ozzy is not writing anything, unlike Dio.

There is a reasonable argument that Black Sabbath was ultimately a better, more consistent and more influential band than even the likes of Led Zeppelin. Sabbath created the template that an infinite number of bands have followed. Sabbath's first six albums are essentially flawless, and then they came back with Dio and killed it again in the 80s. This song is off of Sabotage, their sixth album and one of my favorites. They are simply one of the greatest rock bands of all time.

A brilliant reaction, Andrew! I couldn't be happier! This was very entertaining! This was off the 1975 album Sabotage, which was their fifth great album in 5 years. This is also the song generally accepted as crediting Tony Iommi with inventing the seeds of thrash. The whole album is mind blowing.

One of, if not the greatest, albums ever recorded! Bar none. Period!!

I always thought this song was about falling in love. Dirty, dark, alone and depressed begining, a rolling heartbeat with the upbeat light of hope in the middle, ending in the euphoria of love. Great vid Stay Happy and Healthy

Well you said it all! I can only agree. And have a smug feeling! ✌️❤️🤗

The live version of this you saw was in 1978 (the stage backdrop was the cover of the Never Say Die album), but this recording was, of course, off Sabotage, from 1975.

This band is soo good. But nobody understands- its black sabbath that's so good. Together they are deeper than everything

This song earned *Ward* the *Nobel Prize* for Physics. It was the first time he got a *haircut* and wore a *Tuxedo.*

Another interesting song to dissect in terms of structure, and song writing is MEGALOMANIA.

@paulwilliams4990 Год назад

They were basically a heavy jazz band of 4 individuals. Masterpiece of an album.

@brezz6759 Год назад

Ozzys cadence at the ending section is so goood

@brettweinberg2839 Год назад

First thrash metal riff ever and then they show they can do Zeppelin better than Zeppelin. I actually think this is the best rock song of all time.

Yep.

My third fav band ever over the last 50 yrs I adored the sabbath ozzy era

@paulhudson563 Год назад

Stopped it after 32 seconds 🤣🤣 Best band in the world. I've been a fan for 50 years. Most of Sabbath's songs are like 2/3 knitted together because there are so many tempo and style changes. So bloody interesting.

@jackalope5589 Год назад

You hit on a really important point there. The name Black Sabbath. It put some people off. For whatever pre conceived notion they skipped over it. And that in itself was one of the things I loved best about being a fan. It weeded out all the narrow minded people . Glad to have you brother

When I bought my first album in '71 I sneaked it into the house in a bag as I was afraid if my mother saw it she would have taken it away.

@chriscollier7469 Год назад

I have always loved this track, especially the 2nd section for over 35 years. My friends just rubbished it. I now feel vindicated

@danielnusser8604 Год назад

U say Bill has to work so hard in this band. But i think he is doing a labor of love. He is not doing it to make up for the band. Hes doing it cause he feels it. Loves it. Needs it.

🤘🏻 Black Sabbath rules the Universe 🤘🏻 Funny how this "devil band" is usually singing about love and peace. I feel sorry for those who refused to listen to them. Their loss, for sure!

Playing on this whole album is on another level and it’s probably the best Ozzy’s album with BS.

@jinjaman101 Год назад

Imagine drumming like that for the whole concert. The energy endurance needed!! Damn!!

@stephanevilleneuve9450 Год назад

Mike for your song selection, Andrew for your enthusiastic reaction, you make my day. 🙏 Sabotage, the album where that song come from is the first progressive metal record. Why not react to the whole album for a great experience?

@mjeh1 Год назад

Whether or not you do it as an episode you NEED to listen to Sabbatage all the way through as intended. It is beyond amazing. Do it just for yourself. You won't regret it.

@AndrewRooneyDrums Год назад

I will Mike

@ejohnson3837 Год назад

You really have to had been listening to this for 50 years like i have to truly appreciate all 4 band members on this track. I really dig all 4 of them and cannot get enough. This is one of the greatest songs of my erea. The 1970' s that is.

@AndrewRooneyDrums Год назад

So good!!

@stephenrobins5404 Год назад

Really enjoyed your reaction and analysis of Symptom of The Universe. This is the track that planted the seed for Thrash Metal, yet another branch of metal created by Sabbath. I could have really used your wordmanship and understanding of music in 1970 when I started my lifelong fandom of this super group and trying to spread the word, as for years it felt like I was the only one who knew how good this stuff was and its not as though I didn't have other bands to compare with as this was the time of Zep and Deep Purple and I loved both and many more but Sabbath was something apart and still is. The only time in any year when I knew it wasn't just me was at a sell out concert and my first was in 73 at the Rainbow. Contrary to your feeling that it was about the singer, for Sabbath it never was, in fact Ozzy stood at the side of the stage for years with Iommi in the middle, but even then Geezer blew them both away from the other side of the stage playing the bass like he was possessed. Then there's Bill, and fuck me how we loved him, there was nobody that did it better than him including Bonham and Paice and all the fans knew every genius stroke, with his playing as important as everything else from the band. All tracks are credited to the four of them and you can see why. What a story though, Iommi losing the tips of his fingers so had to replace the guitar strings with banjo strings or detuning so his fingers didn't hurt, Geezer not knowing how to play Bass so literally following every note from Iommi creating unwittingly a much bigger sound and writing lyrics as though he was a 9th century monk, a celestial being or a nobody and Ozzy singing behind time with a voice as unique as a Sinatra or Streisand, and not comparable to any other vocalist and Bill playing out of time (as he says it) and by the time they changed their name to Black Sabbath and introduced the world to metal everything was set. Sabotage the Album is as good as anything that came before it and you should review the whole album because it's a monster and probably their gloomiest set which reflected how they were at the time. The 9 minute plus "Megalomania" is possibly beyond belief. Symptom of the Universe is best appreciated when you follow on from Hole in the Sky into Don't Start Too Late and then into Symptom and sadly you missed that. You mention the different tempos employed by Sabbath within one track and this is a trait they had from the start and I've heard some musicians blowing their minds listening to Sabbath turn on a sixpence as we say in the UK and change direction completely. Iron Man is a great example of this or if you really want to treat yourself take a listen to the track Sabbath Bloody Sabbath where you can experience a tempo change from one of the greatest riffs of all time to one of the greatest riffs of all time! Two of the greatest metal riffs in one song! For me there is only one lineup, Ward, Butler Osbourne and Iommi and when Dio replaced Ozzy it was obvious that the Sabbath songs from Ozzy's era were just not for him, they belonged to the original 4, but just when you thought it was all over, Heaven and Hell!

@glennkirchens7970 Год назад

Megalomania and Thrill of it all are must listens.

@nykterion7 Год назад

Going from Dark Jazz Metal to an epilogue that it’s more or less funk, the theme of the song also, it’s a love song lol, psychedelic as fuck and you nailed it bro, your reaction to this masterpiece was priceless. Nothing more.

@TazShegewi Год назад

When it comes to Sabbath I think Tony Iommi stood out as much, if not more, than Ozzy Osborne did to "the average civilian". There was a period when Tony used to take center stage 🤦‍♂️
