Dude, Bill Ward is the reason John Bonham took it to the next level and Bonham is the reason Ward took it to the stratosphere. They both were friends and respected/loved each others playing. I had read that Sabbath and Zep had a jam session one time, but apparently no one thought to record it. How epic would that have been to be a fly on the wall in that room. Great reaction as always.
listen to Helter Skelter by the Beatles, which was recorded before metal, and blew everyone's mind, at the time...I think the Beatles invented It and Ozzie was a big Beatles fan, just another point of view.
@@robertaccornero7172 Heavy Metal wasn't invented, it was formed from similiar influences. Black Sabbath is only considered the first heavy metal band, not the inventor of it. LSD, occultism, industrialization, the development of electric instruments, and rock'n'roll meeting classical bombastics were the ingredients.
I saw them around 1971 while in college, they were great live. I was so lucky to have been a poor college student at that time when there were so many up and coming bands to see for cheap, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Grand Funk, Led Zeppelin, etc. I heard that Bill Ward played the drums with the drum sticks held so that he used the fat end so that they wouldn't break when he played them.
Yeah... Bill had a weird habit of playing with little broken pieces of sticks. I guess everyone has quirks , but as quick as he is ... i cant beat out singles that quick with good sticks!
I love that you viewed this video because it really showcased the power and intensity of Bill Ward , an amazing drummer that doesn't get enough recognition.
You mentioned Bill Ward and John Bonham. Heard a story that back in the early days, Ward wouldn't let Bonham use his drums, even just to show him something. Guess Bill Ward got mad since Bonham had broke Wards drums twice and Ward struggled to pay for repairs. Bonham banged so hard on the drums, so did Ward. Thought that was kinda funny, just see Bill Ward saying break your own bloody drums. Peace
Love your reaction to these videos. This particular recording is interesting as it is a very early version of the song with alternate lyrics. Totally agree, Bill Ward is a monster. Both him and Geezer Butler had a heavy jazz influence which contributes to the unique rhythm sound of the band. It’s metal, but it swings at the same time.
LOL These aren't the original lyrics. The lyrics to "Walpurgis" were about a witches' coven holding a ritual. In this video, Ozzy's singing the lyrics to the "War PIgs" version....he's just singing the lines all out of order.
Hell yes! Thank you T. This is the raw Sabbath I was talking about. It is interesting how the lyrics changed for the studio version. A must listen is Into The Void
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Thanks! I know Tasha reviewed it before but that is fan based video. This is how I saw them for the first time. Here's the whole concert. ruclips.net/video/7rF2OSSDoMU/видео.html More 60s 70s coming soon.
OMG!!! I was absolutely in love with them in the 70s and 80s!!!!!! My mom was always yelling to shut that noise down 🤣!...... they were so awesome in concert!!!
There’s a reason why, guitarist in particular, love the older bands like Sabbath. The music was new, raw, and the sound was IMMENSE. Even to this day, as a guitarist, I prefer the overdriven sound of Iommi’s guitar compared to a lot of what’s out there today.
My second concert was Black Sabbath in LA with Grand Funk and Ten Years After... Feb of 1971...BS was my favorite band...Geezer was my hero..They were so tight...unbelievable night. Black Sabbath was the core tap root of metal rock and perhaps hard rock too
Bill Ward is a Beast ! One of my all time favorite drummers. He beats those drums like they owe him money 🤣. Black Sabbath, Forever the Godfathers of Metal! \m/
Wow, thanks for the reaction and so many memories. Bill Ward was known in my circle by the 'appellation' Bill 'Cave man' Ward. His playing is visceral.
In 1968, when I was 9, Steppenwolf changed music for me. In 1970, Black Sabbath changed everything for me. Thank my lucky stars for SO many great bands.
Good day, What people seem to overlook is that Tony Iommi Lost the tips of two of his fingers on his fingering hand while at work, they were sawed off. He then invented some tips for his fingers. It's amazing how he can play such intense riffs, not being able to feel the strings with his two middle fingers. He is why I got into playing and having a very nice musical career. Salute
Ozzy is my Idol , grew up with his music. His passing will be a long sad day for me and many others , but I know the music world will honor him as a legend he is for all the years to come. ...
Yep, Bill Ward was off the chart on this number. This has to be my favourite Black Sabbath song. I love the way the Foo Fighters did a cover of War Pigs on Letterman. You should check that out
Ozzy still sounds like he's about to break into tears when he sings. Phenomenal. Lyrics different to the recording? And yeah! plant & Bonham were from the West Midlands like Sabbath.
I'm a few years late to this reaction but I was watching this whole concert for years. I learned how to play this song close to a tee on the drums. Keep your left foot at that tempo the whole song and all your other lymbs just follow. It's all in the left foot keeping time
I saw Black Sabbath in Crawley Sports Center, Sussex, England, 1981. My main impression was seeing the way Bill Ward literally 'threw himself' at the drum kit. Especially the toms. I saw his greatness that night.
This song was lyrically changed , for the album.....Those Lyrics you heard and that concert had to be in 1969....probably before November....Sabbath recorded the first album in 1969....but wasn't released until Friday Feb.13, 1970

According to Tony Iommi it was recorded. The tapes are lost tho.
@@shobudski6776 They need to call Indian Jones or who ever to find them tapes. LOL.
Damn, think of that, Ozzy and Plant! 😁
I was going to mention this but you put it better than I would. Peace out
Not another person who thinks Led Zeppelin were better than Black Sabbath.
A bunch of hippies from Birmingham invented Metal and I love it.
Who thought metal could come from Alabama?
listen to Helter Skelter by the Beatles, which was recorded before metal, and blew everyone's mind, at the time...I think the Beatles invented It and Ozzie was a big Beatles fan, just another point of view.
@@robertaccornero7172 I've heard it but nah, Metal started with a tritone riff.

@@cloudwizard7694 Black Sabbath was the first heavy metal band. Stop
ALL 4 members of the band on fire here but Bill, WOW WOW WOW
Bill Ward beats his drums, like they owe him money!
They did and they paid lots of money!!
Such an original comment
Sadly he is no longer able to play , he has come out and said that his ability to play is gone , hes 73 years old and old age has done its tricks .
He did. I give him the edge on Bonham on some songs live.
Hahahahaha.😂😂😂🤣🤣
To this day that drum set has a restraining order against Bill 🤣... true story

Black Sabbath recorded the darkest anti-war songs I've heard. Listen to the line about War Pigs "eating dead rat's innards."
That’s the tame version. The demo is the best one. On Ozzys greatest hits.
I was Hank Williams and Beatles fan, then my best friends brother came home from college with the Paranoid album. Things changed after that.
I love that Bill Ward has his sticks backwards so that they are even louder. Max volume and violence on those poor defenceless tom’s!
Yeah... Bill had a weird habit of playing with little broken pieces of sticks. I guess everyone has quirks , but as quick as he is ... i cant beat out singles that quick with good sticks!
This is sabbath in true form, great additional lyrics on this track as well. Greatest band ever..

One of my favourite things about this. Is the fact that they played like this. In a time when there was no such thing as Heavy Metal.

that's cool. what are the alt lyrics?
Yeah.. if you look up Walpurgis instead of War pigs you'll get the original lyrics. That was the original name too.
LOL These aren't the original lyrics. The lyrics to "Walpurgis" were about a witches' coven holding a ritual. In this video, Ozzy's singing the lyrics to the "War PIgs" version....he's just singing the lines all out of order.
You’re right the whole last two verses or so are totally different.
Best performance by a drummer. That i have ever seen/heard.
Nothing better than referencing John Bonham (RIP) the Legend. Excellent reaction.
Hell yes! Thank you T. This is the raw Sabbath I was talking about. It is interesting how the lyrics changed for the studio version. A must listen is Into The Void
Raw fuckn energy! Great request Lance!

Into The Void is probably the most badass early Sabbath song! At least one of them. Anybody agree?
Definitely. We been covering that and the Wizard in bars as long as i been doin it. Voids one of my favs
Oh yes! Hand of Doom and The Wizard too, so funky
OMG!!! I was absolutely in love with them in the 70s and 80s!!!!!! My mom was always yelling to shut that noise down 🤣!...... they were so awesome in concert!!!

The Wizard bro. The blues all over that song is amazing
Second this. That song is raw and moody and really shows Iommi's roots.
on their knees the war pigs crawling. the worst deeds are those of the powerful
yep.Epic lyrics.
Poor people can never sink to the moral depravity of the wealthy elite 🐷🔥
You are spot on imo, this is Ozzy, and the Group at their best, the Drummer is fantastic, sends shivers down my back! Rock on!
Ian Paice needs to be in that conversation
Not really. Deep Purple is a great band tho.

Man, I wish I was there. Can you imagine seeing them for the first time. Mind blowing.
You finally look at the live version ;)
Wow, thanks for the reaction and so many memories. Bill Ward was known in my circle by the 'appellation' Bill 'Cave man' Ward. His playing is visceral.
That's a 21 Year Old Ozzy , right there....1970 !!!!!!

Bill Ward 'nuff said 👍
I have always loved Ozzy’s voice.
Ozzy is my Idol , grew up with his music.
His passing will be a long sad day for me and many others , but I know the music world will honor him as a legend he is for all the years to come. ...
Also, Ozzy was at peak hotness then. 😍😍😍 🔥🔥🔥
Ooosshh I'm loving the way your loving Black Sabbath! Awesome!!! ❤️
AND remember this was live
Ozzie is my favorite musician....PERIOD!! Diary of a madman is my greatest treasured album!
When I hear this first time in 1970 you don’t know what to thank about the song saw them live in NYC it very good
I was born in 60 and this was my first metal album I ever bought. Wore it out.
THE greatest. Thanks for reviewing! Black Sabbath has a LOT of amazing work that you would love.
Yep, Bill Ward was off the chart on this number. This has to be my favourite Black Sabbath song. I love the way the Foo Fighters did a cover of War Pigs on Letterman. You should check that out
Badass performance! Thank you!
From that era...with Bill Ward and John Bonham....I would also include Ian Piece from Deep Purple...on the same level...
Don't forget Keith Moon, Carl Palmer.
Glad you did this one T

When you can Watch that whole concert . They are so amazing. stage presence is passion and soul!!!
After forever, Into the Void.
Changed up the lyrics a bit,there is about four different lyric tabs for this song!!! unstoppable ✌️🇺🇸
DEEP PURPLE!!! IN ROCK, MIJ
Maybe do this reaction again while considering the current situation in Ukraine? 52yrs later and Ozzy's words are still spot on.
Yikes! You’re absolutely right. I bet this song will hit different.
My first ever concert was Sabbath in Manchester England in 1971 and have followed them ever since. Last saw them on The End tour in 2017
Hey, just wanted to tell you. Good catch with the wife you landed. Her reactions show such an awesome person. You two are good for each other.
Thank you very much at the end, gotta luv it

Nice one! You will also enjoy from the same concert Black Sabbath - "Fairies Wear Boots" - Live in Paris 1970
This is fantastic! So ahead of their time...
Saw them in concert when I was 17. 49 years ago. amazing concert
I saw Black Sabbath in Ozzfest 2005 San Bernardino California, it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤘😎🤘
Amazing live performance all the way around, love this, thanks
Think back to 1970, how many people were jamming to records from 1920? Probably no one.
Yet here we are, banging our heads to Sabbath.
Wow!! great live performance of Sabbath.
Early 80s solo Ozzy was the real crazy era of Ozzy.
Lived in a rural area only one who listens to metal you guessed it deemed a devil worshiper lmao
That's a load of crap. That was tame Ozzy. Still great though.
I didn't get to see them until 1978 in Portland OR. Vsn Halen opened. Great Concert.
I saw them live in 1972, the warm up band was Yes. never forget.
Great choice of video! Shows the evolution of this song🤘🏻🤘🏻🤟🏻
BLACK SABBATH
I love the way Ozzy uses the word "Masses" two different ways in the first line of the song.. Rock On
I love the funk in this song!
Powerful stuff! LOVE IT!
its what its all about. thank you TNT
The first time I saw this, I was like: O M G!!!!!!
Love your reaction Bro , keep the Sabbath vids coming ...
Ozzy still rocks!🤟🏻listen to his new album..He still rocks at 72🤟🏻🤟🏻
These boys were tripping hard on this song I was right along with them in the stratosphere looking down
Now watch them live at the California Jam years later!
You know bro!
If you haven’t already check out “Sweet leaf” by Black Sabbath, obviously the title says it all, it rocks!!
You picked an awesome version of this song for this video. Nice job.
Bonham hung out and jammed with these fellas. He was frends with so many bands. Theres no telling how many bands John sat in with.
Great live version.
Great vid!! If you love this you'll love 'Into the Void' and 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' both early Sabbath tracks
I saw them in 1999 and they were still killing it
Bill Ward was only 21 years old in this video... incredible!!
Bozo us to break Bill Wards drum sets when visiting him. Both ruled the drum sets in the 70s
that's a hard working drummer lol
I have a VHS bootleg copy of this show and there is a shot of the techs nailing Bill Wards hardware to the stage.
The cameraman seemed to forget Geezer existed so a shout out to him also 😂🤘🏻amazing performance by them all
"Bill beat that drum kit like it owed him money", lol!
Geezer holding that shit down on the bass as well. Just astounding this is
One of the greatest songs of all time 🤘❤
Seen them live for the reunion tour, it was great. Also seen Ozzy solo, he has so much energy on stage!
I saw them live during this era. They were great
"The only one who can rival Bill Ward is John Bonham."
