The thing that kills me about this, is Ward doesn't have a mat under the kit. The drums were shifting around, and I don't have a clue how he kept time.
Geezer Butler might just be the most underrated musician in metal. From his bas playing to his lyrical contributions he is so vital to Sabbath and to metal in general, but tends to get overlooked when people talk about it. With him and Bill Ward it's pretty hard to find a better rhythm section anywhere.
One that I’d argue is better is Double Trouble, they were the rhythm section for Stevie Ray Vaughan and they are just something else when it comes to rhythm, but it’s a very hard choice to be sure
I'm 55 years old and it fills me with so much joy to see younger generations getting turned onto the classic bands or rock & metal. Bless you and your father. Thank you , and keep up with the great videos.
I will give you the happiness to tell you about my 2 boys: The youngest one is 5 year, he really is a AC/DC fan, of course "Thunderstruck" and "TNT" but also every other song, singing along and everything. Listen to Deep Purple "soldier of fourtune" and Pink Floyd "I wish you where here" when going to sleep, among other songs. The older boy have been a Motörhead fan since little, but also listen to everything from Johnny Cash to newer Metal. 😊👌 Cheers from Northern Sweden!
Yes sir ! Like a sore dick , you cant beat it ! LOL ! So many bands have covered this song and also used and worshiped that sound ! If not for Sabbath I wonder how metal would be ?
He's still making music, in fact a new single just dropped the other day off his new album due out later this year. Ozzy has this kid in him. At his age, he still wants to act like this on stage, you can see his pent up youthful energy in live performances over the past 25 years, his body just can't physically do it, but he tries oh so hard.
As an older RUclips viewer I have to admit that when reaction videos first appeared I found myself thinking ‘So we’re watching people listen to music now?! Weird!’. But I have to say it’s great to see the music I grew up with still blowing peoples minds so many years later. A testament to how artists may get old but a good song never does
As an older metal head I felt the same way, now I love seeing a younger generation listening to songs for the first time that we have heard 100 times and see the total excitement
Same here a vast amount of ppl too. I think it started with Lost In Vegas. I'd love to know how they're reactions are on the same song on the same week
The guitarist, Tony Iommi plays guitar with 2 prosthetic fingertips. At the age of 17, Iommi lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers of his right hand in an industrial accident on his last day of work in a sheet metal factory.
Ozzy was fired from Sabbath in 79 for excessive alcohol and drug use(shocking!)and replaced by Ronnie James Dio (who is incredible, check him out). Ozzy went solo and was incredibly lucky to find Randy Rhodes.
And that was actually the second time he was fired. I think he was briefly in 76 or 77. There may have been a show or two with a different guy. Ozzy talked about it in his book, IIRC.
When Sabbath was making this music everyone else was singing about peace and doves. GROUNDBREAKING MUSIC! Ozzy is a genius, Tony is undisputed best guitarist.
The more I think about it, the more I begin to realise that Sabbath was a supergroup even before that was a thing. Bill Ward and Geezer Buttler are where "heavy" lives. There's nothing I can add to what has already been said about the riff lord and absolute badass that is Tony Iommi. Ozzy is also an absolute icon. If you like this song, there's a song called "into the void". That song was in C# tuning in 1970. The opening riff is probably the heaviest one known to mankind. That song alone has inspired subgenres and many amazing musicians like Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman etc. When there are entire subgenres coming out of their individual songs, that's when you begin to fathom the legend of Sabbath.
I first started listening to Black Sabbath when I was 10, in 1971. I was lucky to have had an older brother who introduced me to them. I've been a diehard metalhead for 50 years now. They'll be playing metal at my funeral.
Yes Crazy Train is part of his solo work - Black Sabbath was formed more than 10 years before Ozzy went solo, other famous Black Sabbath songs (with Ozzy) includes Iron Man, Paranoid, Fairies Wear Boots and Sweet Leaf among many others - you also may want to include a couple of Black Sabbath songs with Ronnie James Dio as lead singer which includes Heaven and Hell and Neon Lights
ozzy was pretty awkward on stage. you can tell that he didn't like not having some music to play with his hands like everyone else did. he eventually started clapping his hands a lot with the crowd. the stuff from the period of this video was the best when he was young. his voice is incredible and he _REALLY_ gets into the music during the solos.
Bill Ward was the drummer and he was a hard hitting beast. And he and Geezer (bass) could really swing too, and Bill played almost like a percussion orchestra, so many interesting things going on even on his little kit in the early days (listen to Hand of Doom, another great early classic). This is a great version of War Pigs but you should hear the studio version too, because the lyrics were changed quite a bit. The lyrics to War Pigs are great, very powerful and not to be missed. Geezer (bass) wrote almost all the lyrics to early Sabbath Ozzy era songs, he was a superb lyricist. I'll stop the old man lecture now, but they were all very talented and a perfect complementary fit in their talents too. That's what made them special.
watching and listening to Ozzy and black sabbath is like being in a wind tunnel with a hurricane of energy . We need to go back and anylize the power of these rock legend's.I AM SO GLAD YOU HAVE TAPPED IN TO THIS . ROCK ON AILEEN.
I believe this performance was/is the right one to be introduced to Sabbath. You'll have a blast as you go through their catalogue. I'll tell ya now that Ozzy's peak vocal performances are on the 'Sabotage' album. No rush to get there, but hell yeah when you do.
This is the unreleased version of this. The album version has about half different lyrics and musically a bit different. It also sounds and flows a bit better, but this is still awesome.
I used to have a VHS documentary, and this performance was on it. The song was originally called Walpurgis (a witches holiday), and the second verse is the lyrics for that. The producers made them change the title and lyrics for to War Pigs, because they wouldn't be able to get tours in North America with the original song. Check out the Just Say Ozzy album, and you will hear a very dark 3rd verse to the song Black Sabbath, and the original lyrics for Walpurgis!! Ozzy's dyslexia obviously messed with him in this performance, but it still rocked!
I remember watching my dad play the drums to this song when it came out I was about 8or9 I loved playing drums had a excellent teacher. But it was Tony Iommi on the guitar that grabbed my attention when I read the story about him losing the tips of his finger on his last day at his factory job. Then for him to make leather tips for his fingers then had to re-learn to play the guitar. Inspired me I worked day and night practicing 6 yrs after watching him play the drums to this song now I was onstage playing the guitar with him..✌😎
You will never see a song performed with more passion and honesty as this. All four are completely there, totally invested in the thoroughbred anti-war statement War Pigs represents.
This video brings back a fun memory. A buddy and I went and saw Black Sabbath perform at the Omni in Atlanta in 1975 when I was 15 years old. Because I was 15 my parents wouldn't let us go by ourselves so we had to have an adult go with us. That adult was my 4'11" tall grandmother. We had floor seats and everyone around us thought that she was the coolest senior. While she persevered through the show and was glad it was over I will never forget her thinking beyond her musical likes and comfort to take her grandson and friend to the concert.
Your dad and I listened to the same music. I saw Sabbath back in the 1970's. Great show. Trivia look close at Tony's the guitar players right hand. As a child he had an accident. He loss the tips of his fingers on his right hand. Crazy Train is from John's solo work. Some suggestions on Sabbath songs Sweet Leaf, NIB, Snowblind , Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and many, many more. My favorite quote referring to Ozzie is now a days he can not string a sentence together. Yet when he sings he can put it all together. When I saw them they came out and started to play. They did not stop between songs. Finish one song and go into the next. At one point Ozzy, Tony, and Geezer left the stage. Bill stayed at his drum kit and played the heck out of them. The show was mind-blowing. Thank you young lady for your kind words and thoughts. You would have fit in in the 1970's.
I saw a music doc on VH-1 waaaay back when and they were talking about musicians favorite vocalists and Richie Blackmore said the same thing. Ozzy is waaay underrated as a vocalist.
Birmingham England same as LED zeppelin. I wish I could have grown up in that time period of the late 60s early 70s. So much good music. But I was lucky enough to catch the 90s metal with Pantera and Metallica and Megadeth.
In 2000 I was in basic training at Ft Benning and one of my drill sgts used this song as a running cadence. He added some things to make it extra but it was so awesome.
One of the best live performances of this classic Metal song. Here with a newly turned 22 years old Ozzy. Black Sabbath was formed from the working quarters of Birmingham, England (UK) with Ozzy Osbourne (voclals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Bill Ward (drums) and Geezer Butler (bass) in 1968.
Aileen, I'm back.!!!!! Black Sabbath were ground breakers.... They did thinks no one else was doing.... I saw them back in the 1970's... Super high energy and attitude!!!! One of the shows I ever attended..... For sure!!!! AND there is that great smile. You are wonderful. Thank you. Crazy Train was Ozzys solo work. Your face hurts from smiling?? Well, it is not hurting us. You are so beautiful. On a side note, when I saw them, they would play the the last note and launch right into the next song..... At one point, the other band members left the stage.. Bill continued to play. After a bit they came back out. Bill never stopped... Each of them were so good. And yes they created this genre so to speak.... Heavy metal.......... You mentioned the bass. Check out NIB - the live version!!!!!.......... Ozzy is a lot crazy, but he is a performer deluxe! Rock and Roll girl......
The Wizard is one of my favorites from their first album. And I'm pretty sure Children of the Grave from the album Masters of Reality was the beginning of Thrash Metal.
Bill beats his kit like it owes him money, fantastic, Mr Iommi has an awesome guitar tone in this live version, shame that Geezer is a bit low in the mix, still, best live version of this epic in my opinion.
Oh, now you’re getting to The Godfather’s of many genres of metal huh…. May I suggest Hand of Doom next?! Everyone in that band is legendary and not just because of the band as a whole, but individually as well!
Yes, the official studio audio has by far the best mix of the dozens of versions of this seminal song by far. Also you get the correct lyrics. Don't do the fan made video! Nothing to do with the song, just distracts from the tune.
Great reaction!! Bill Ward was a giant! Pretty sure he wasn’t using a double bass drum pedal back then; he did it (like Bonham) with one foot. If you like drums, you should check out the Professor, Neil Peart of Rush. He’s regarded by many to be the greatest drummer of all time and was one of Danny Carey’s biggest influences. It’s a bit of a commitment, but the first side of Rush’s 1976 album 2112 is an epic masterpiece and one I think you’d love. And if you like guitar, check out UFO’s 1978 live album Strangers in the Night. This album is considered on of the greatest live albums of all time and guitarist Michael Schenker is probably one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. UFO and Schenker had a huge influence on bands like Iron Maiden. Check out Mother Mary, Lights Out or Rock Bottom, although the entire album is fire and you can’t miss with any of the songs 👍🏻 Cheers!
I would love for you to watch and listen to these lyrics , and then compare to the studio version. Ozzy changes the lyrics. Also yes, Crazy Train is part of Ozzy's solo career. Another great reaction. Would love your reaction to Paranoid and Megalomania.
🤩👍💥💯 After 50+ years the lyrics are still relevant today.... Toni Iommi The God Father of Heavy riffs knuckles out solos with two missing fingertips like there's no tomorrow!!! Geezer Butler's funky - tickeling on four strings makes awesomeness in the base while Iommi's SG squeeze your soul, just in a right way. Lastly credits to Muppet Show's drummer's idol Mr. Bill Ward, an Animal with sticks and pedals. Now our female beautiness called AileenSenpai got her self on the edge of the Black Sabbath hole. Sweet reaction mi lady and keep on rockin with them! 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 💯 Oh how Lucky this one was when seeing them live in this line up, Mark I, on their "Reunion" tour back in the days...
I've been waiting for you to do Sabbath! You seem drawn to rhythm sections and it's hard to beat that of Black Sabbath when it comes to Hard Rock/Metal
Man black sabbath has MANY great songs. Most people only hear paranoid, war pigs or ozzy's crazy train. I would just start from the beginning with their first album "black sabbath" black sabbath. So much blues and funk influences. You'd be surprised. How many years later and their music still kicks all the ass lol
Ozzy is a singer who always knew his limitations and from them he created his strengths. Without being a virtuous (as Dio, Halford, Gillan or Dickinson are), he managed to transmit an intensity and absolute mysticism. One is imnotized by his voice that seems to come from a cult performing a satanic ritual. A master!
I love watching these early performances because , a lot of times, the lyrics were still a work in progress. These were much different than the studio version.
God bless you for diving into Black Sabbath..you are a beautiful human being..hope u explore more Sabbath because your reactions are priceless! Thank u
Hey Aileen , I'm glad I found your show I can tell you have a heart and soul and passion for music very cool stuff , this is a Great reel from early Paris I believe 70s and just a monster show one of my favorites and yes Bill Ward just killing on the skins and his set as basic as you could get the sound these guys put out it's unbelievable absolutely Masters and the music that came out in that erra in England wow , this same show N.I.B. really good , but yes Black Sabbath the foundation !! And so many great bands and the influence and inspiration to generations great stuff , hey keep doing what your doing it's real it's good and it's a breath of fresh air and you never know you might inspire some one and that's a good thing. Thank you
They were always great. I walked into my sons bedroom one day and I asked "are you playing Sabbath"......he said I'm trying to. He was 14 and just starting to play guitar. It was great to know he was interested in awesome music.
Black Sabbath really took the music from heavy rock to heavy metal, they are one of the big 3 founders of a whole genre that is still alive and progressing to this day. This was Sabs young and hungry and killing it
Ol' Bill Ward beating those drums like they own him money
Nobody ever focuses on Geezer's bass playing. One of the best.
Yes what a shame that the camera didnt even recorded him -.-
Every single heavy metal and hard rock guitarist owes everything they do to Tony Iommi. He laid the groundwork for everyone.
Richie Blackmore too. Fuse their styles and you get Judas Priest.
💯💯💯💯
Iommi is the Riff Master.
Amen Brother
No double kick pedal, actually!
Bill Ward's left foot was pumping 8th notes on the Hi Hat.
Such a legend!
It can't be overstated just how groundbreaking this was for the time. A masterwork of heavy rock. Great choice and commentary.
the french had no clue what was going on AT FIRST
By definition this is the birth of Heavy Metal.
Bill Ward was one of the greatest rock drummers, together with John Bonham, Cozy Powell, Keith Moon and Ian Paice.
Nice to see Cozy Powell get some recognition.
@@mkelly1004 He's a monster. What's crazy is who good Paice is currently live
@@hieinh yeah, I was watching him through lockdown. Still got it.
The thing that kills me about this, is Ward doesn't have a mat under the kit. The drums were shifting around, and I don't have a clue how he kept time.
Totally agree with you! Just like Bill,Kieth Moon was a monster too that doesn’t get the love he should!
Bill Ward was arrested after the GiG cuz of Murdering those DRUMS 🥁☠️
Geezer Butler might just be the most underrated musician in metal. From his bas playing to his lyrical contributions he is so vital to Sabbath and to metal in general, but tends to get overlooked when people talk about it.

One that I’d argue is better is Double Trouble, they were the rhythm section for Stevie Ray Vaughan and they are just something else when it comes to rhythm, but it’s a very hard choice to be sure
Geezer is one of the best, and my favorite by far
Some of the best drumming ever in any song.
Some of the best talent that ever was... Geezer Butler on bass, Bill Ward on drums, Tony Iommi on guitar... Geezer is why I started playing bass.
Me Too...
Same :)
When u stop to think about it, it's amazing how many great rock bands and musicians came out of Britain. Some of the greatest of all time
I'm 55 years old and it fills me with so much joy to see younger generations getting turned onto the classic bands or rock & metal. Bless you and your father. Thank you , and keep up with the great videos.
Ditto and I'm 71
Yup, I’m 57. Love watching these channels where young people love the music we loved (and still love)
Same age, totally agreed with the comment!!
I will give you the happiness to tell you about my 2 boys:
The youngest one is 5 year, he really is a AC/DC fan, of course "Thunderstruck" and "TNT" but also every other song, singing along and everything.
Listen to Deep Purple "soldier of fourtune" and Pink Floyd "I wish you where here" when going to sleep, among other songs.
The older boy have been a Motörhead fan since little, but also listen to everything from Johnny Cash to newer Metal.
😊👌
Cheers from Northern Sweden!
@@mrolsen6987 You’re raising them right!! Cheers from 🇺🇸
This live version is even better than the studio version. They killed it!
No, it isn’t.
Ozzy's health isn't very good these days, but he has lived longer and fuller than many of us early fans ever expected.
Ozzy and Keith Richard will survive WW3, amazing those guys are still killing it!
Ozzy has done SO much blow, his heart won't stop for a LOOOONG time!
We used to bet on who would be the first to go, Lemmy or Ozzy. We knew already Time itself fears Keith.
He just went through a successful surgery and will be In Good health
@@vicprovost2561 Fact's if he made it out of San Antonio after pissing on the Alamo he'll make it
One of the greatest classics of all time from the FATHERS of Heavy Metal!
Yes sir ! Like a sore dick , you cant beat it ! LOL ! So many bands have covered this song and also used and worshiped that sound ! If not for Sabbath I wonder how metal would be ?

i was the exact same thought they were a cop out when i first saw them now im addicted XD
I concur. There's few things like watching people discover music I've long loved. It's almost as good as when I first discovered it.
As an older metal head I felt the same way, now I love seeing a younger generation listening to songs for the first time that we have heard 100 times and see the total excitement
Same here a vast amount of ppl too. I think it started with Lost In Vegas. I'd love to know how they're reactions are on the same song on the same week
I hear ya Severeign.... but reaction videos are now one of my guilty pleasures...
Black Sabbath = EVERYTHING 😎🤘☘
Respect & Peace ☘
The guitarist, Tony Iommi plays guitar with 2 prosthetic fingertips. At the age of 17, Iommi lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers of his right hand in an industrial accident on his last day of work in a sheet metal factory.
Bill Ward is a drumming God. Geezer is a poet and Tony is the riff master and Ozzy is Ozzy.
Ozzy was fired from Sabbath in 79 for excessive alcohol and drug use(shocking!)and replaced by Ronnie James Dio (who is incredible, check him out). Ozzy went solo and was incredibly lucky to find Randy Rhodes.
they dont really mind the alcohol and drug use its just that, they can't literally make a song because ozzy is so fked by drugs and can't perform.
And that was actually the second time he was fired. I think he was briefly in 76 or 77. There may have been a show or two with a different guy. Ozzy talked about it in his book, IIRC.
Ronnie James Dio is 🔥🔥🔥 he's one of my favourite singer 🤘
When Sabbath was making this music everyone else was singing about peace and doves. GROUNDBREAKING MUSIC! Ozzy is a genius, Tony is undisputed best guitarist.
Doors?
No one went harder than Bill Ward! Absolutely animal so he was 🤘🔥
My favorite Sabbath song! They are the godfathers of heavy metal!!! 🤘
Isn't crazy that you can understand Ozzy when he sings but it is really difficult when he speaks normally?
He's bilingual. He speaks Sing, and Talk, the latter us mere mortals have a hard time understanding...
Only because he's Brummie
@@connorward2400 people are shocked to learn that he talks like that because of where he's from and not drugs or something 😭
You can always tell when Bill Ward is on the drums, SO ICONIC !!!!

Agreed! Falling off the edge of the world is one of my favorite Sabbath/Dio songs!🤘🏻
Dio and Ozzy were both awesome in Sabbath
Neon Knights*
Volume 4 is pretty good album as well

First time I ever saw the original black sabbath was in 1978 the 70's was the best
Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses....
I think it’s so cool younger music lovers are going back and discovering this iconic music and sharing it with new generations thanks
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath is still one of my favourite songs ever
The most wicked riff of all time! 😈 I agree, it's a great song!

I've never cared much for drums. I watch this vid over and over again for the absolutely insanely phenomenal drumming.
In 2000 I was in basic training at Ft Benning and one of my drill sgts used this song as a running cadence. He added some things to make it extra but it was so awesome.
thats ironic him using the song given the meaning of it tbh
@@nobetter7747 yeah that’s what I thought too but he added some lines to make it work for the situation.
Bill Ward is a killing it on the drums on this video.
Love your comment on Ozzy’s iconic dance move. No, Ozzy was high as f*#k!
Speedin hardcore zone....
One of the best live performances of this classic Metal song. Here with a newly turned 22 years old Ozzy.
Black Sabbath was formed from the working quarters of Birmingham, England (UK) with Ozzy Osbourne (voclals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Bill Ward (drums) and Geezer Butler (bass) in 1968.
You can't really go wrong listening to any song off their first six albums. No band were as coherently good as the Sabs
Motörhead were.😋
@@TheVaan1 nah, Motörhead had more oscillating moments. After Ace Os Spades, they had a boost with Orgasmatron, then another one with 1916 and so on
It's pretty tough to beat Led Zeppelin's 1st 6 albums, "Led Zeppelin" to "Physical Graffiti".
@@hemlock399 they did a good run too
@@megamaniac7402 To say the least.
The drum fills in this song are so good and hit so hard. Lyrically the song is amazing and one of my favorites.
Bill Ward, John Bonham and Keith Moon were the most hard hitting intense drummers of rock coming from this time period.
Aileen,
I'm back.!!!!! Black Sabbath were ground breakers.... They did thinks no one else was doing.... I saw them back in the 1970's... Super high energy and attitude!!!! One of the shows I ever attended..... For sure!!!! AND there is that great smile. You are wonderful. Thank you. Crazy Train was Ozzys solo work. Your face hurts from smiling?? Well, it is not hurting us. You are so beautiful.
On a side note, when I saw them, they would play the the last note and launch right into the next song..... At one point, the other band members left the stage.. Bill continued to play. After a bit they came back out. Bill never stopped... Each of them were so good. And yes they created this genre so to speak.... Heavy metal..........
You mentioned the bass. Check out NIB - the live version!!!!!.......... Ozzy is a lot crazy, but he is a performer deluxe! Rock and Roll girl......
The Wizard is one of my favorites from their first album. And I'm pretty sure Children of the Grave from the album Masters of Reality was the beginning of Thrash Metal.
Imagine hearing them play back in the 1960’s nobody was doing this they were evolutionary.
Bill beats his kit like it owes him money, fantastic, Mr Iommi has an awesome guitar tone in this live version, shame that Geezer is a bit low in the mix, still, best live version of this epic in my opinion.
Geezer was one of the true legends of bass playing absolute beast
Ah yes now shes onto sabbath. So many songs to react to
Even after listening to this song hundreds of times it still sends a shiver down my spine
Oh, now you’re getting to The Godfather’s of many genres of metal huh…. May I suggest Hand of Doom next?! Everyone in that band is legendary and not just because of the band as a whole, but individually as well!
I love the camera work in this live clip and the fact that they focus alot on Bill Ward's incredible drumming
You need the studio version!! It’s incredible
Just watch out for that awful fan-made MV. There is no official music video for War Pigs! 😄
Yes, the official studio audio has by far the best mix of the dozens of versions of this seminal song by far. Also you get the correct lyrics. Don't do the fan made video! Nothing to do with the song, just distracts from the tune.
I love how you can see how Ozzy is absolutely fed up with the military industrial complex. Even back in 1970.
Great reaction!! Bill Ward was a giant! Pretty sure he wasn’t using a double bass drum pedal back then; he did it (like Bonham) with one foot.
If you like drums, you should check out the Professor, Neil Peart of Rush. He’s regarded by many to be the greatest drummer of all time and was one of Danny Carey’s biggest influences. It’s a bit of a commitment, but the first side of Rush’s 1976 album 2112 is an epic masterpiece and one I think you’d love.
And if you like guitar, check out UFO’s 1978 live album Strangers in the Night. This album is considered on of the greatest live albums of all time and guitarist Michael Schenker is probably one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. UFO and Schenker had a huge influence on bands like Iron Maiden. Check out Mother Mary, Lights Out or Rock Bottom, although the entire album is fire and you can’t miss with any of the songs 👍🏻
Cheers!
The hi hat moving the full time unreal and sick. than that solo! my god tbey stand alone with a sound that none can touch.
I would love for you to watch and listen to these lyrics , and then compare to the studio version. Ozzy changes the lyrics. Also yes, Crazy Train is part of Ozzy's solo career. Another great reaction. Would love your reaction to Paranoid and Megalomania.
Megalomania is his top vocal performance.
🤩👍💥💯
After 50+ years the lyrics are still relevant today....
Toni Iommi The God Father of Heavy riffs knuckles out solos with two missing fingertips like there's no tomorrow!!!
Geezer Butler's funky - tickeling on four strings makes awesomeness in the base while Iommi's SG squeeze your soul, just in a right way.
Lastly credits to Muppet Show's drummer's idol Mr. Bill Ward, an Animal with sticks and pedals.
Now our female beautiness called AileenSenpai got her self on the edge of the Black Sabbath hole.
Sweet reaction mi lady and keep on rockin with them!
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙 💯
Oh how Lucky this one was when seeing them live in this line up, Mark I, on their "Reunion" tour back in the days...
I've been waiting for you to do Sabbath! You seem drawn to rhythm sections and it's hard to beat that of Black Sabbath when it comes to Hard Rock/Metal
Man black sabbath has MANY great songs. Most people only hear paranoid, war pigs or ozzy's crazy train.
I would just start from the beginning with their first album "black sabbath" black sabbath. So much blues and funk influences. You'd be surprised.
How many years later and their music still kicks all the ass lol
Ozzy is a singer who always knew his limitations and from them he created his strengths. Without being a virtuous (as Dio, Halford, Gillan or Dickinson are), he managed to transmit an intensity and absolute mysticism. One is imnotized by his voice that seems to come from a cult performing a satanic ritual. A master!
I love watching these early performances because , a lot of times, the lyrics were still a work in progress. These were much different than the studio version.
The nose ring speaks to me.. activist, but maybe the magic of heavy metal will convert thee.
For the record, those drums took out a restraining order against Ward.
Would love to get your reaction on some system of a down
I have an SOAD song on the roster for next week!
@@AileenSenpai Yesss!!
It warms my heart to hear someone so young say "everyone knows Ozzy, hes a household name" 🖤💚🩷🧡💛💙❤️🖤
this song will forever be pure metal for me .. imagine being there ..never hearing anything like it before .. holy .... haha loved yur reavtion
This was the beginning of it all. Black Sabbath are the father's of metal. Period.
Your reviews are so intelligent and on point, great job!
God bless you for diving into Black Sabbath..you are a beautiful human being..hope u explore more Sabbath because your reactions are priceless! Thank u
Hey Aileen , I'm glad I found your show I can tell you have a heart and soul and passion for music very cool stuff , this is a Great reel from early Paris I believe 70s and just a monster show one of my favorites and yes Bill Ward just killing on the skins and his set as basic as you could get the sound these guys put out it's unbelievable absolutely Masters and the music that came out in that erra in England wow , this same show N.I.B. really good , but yes Black Sabbath the foundation !! And so many great bands and the influence and inspiration to generations great stuff , hey keep doing what your doing it's real it's good and it's a breath of fresh air and you never know you might inspire some one and that's a good thing. Thank you
Bill is such an amazing drummer and was so underappreciated by them so many times.
Saw Black Sabbath live, minus the drummer, around 2014 here in the desert. First song they played was War Pigs!! Pitch perfect.
This is my all time favorite song!!!! When I was in the Army I had a War Pigs shirt that I wore a lot! Use to piss the higher ups off🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
This is a great album. I am glad you chose this to go down the rabbit hole 🤘🤘🤘🌹🌹🌹
Oh he definitely is still making music and ''Patient Nr. 9'' was just friggin awesome.
RIP ONE OF THE BEST
"Friday night, always a good night for some Sabbath" a quote from a tv show
They were always great. I walked into my sons bedroom one day and I asked "are you playing Sabbath"......he said I'm trying to. He was 14 and just starting to play guitar. It was great to know he was interested in awesome music.
This is my favorite sabbath song. This whole concert is recorded. Think its here on youtube.
Black Sabbath really took the music from heavy rock to heavy metal, they are one of the big 3 founders of a whole genre that is still alive and progressing to this day. This was Sabs young and hungry and killing it
Bill Ward is a BEAST! \m/
He is beating those drums like they owe him money😁
