Tony Iommi has written some of the nastiest riffs ever. This one being, without a doubt, one of his best. You can't go wrong choosing an original Sabbath tune to react to. 🤘
@@am_i_demon EXACTLY! Which is why a friend of mine - and he's sooo right - on the question of which his favorite Black Sabbath album is, answered: "The last nineteen of them". Anybody wanna guess how many (studio) albums Black Sabbath ever released ...?
Lex, you are definitely a 70s gal! You may not have been around during the decade, but it's definitely a part of you! It's in your face, in your soul, and the way you jam out to the music. You get it. Rock on, girl!!
this stuff didn't get played on the radio back in the 70's, when i was a little kid, but i remember hearing it blaring out of a car or house or something, and man, the heavy low sound was, for me, impossible not to like. no internet back then, so when you're 7 or 8, you just gotta keep your ears open until you hear someone playing this stuff, and ask them who it is. no way in the mid seventies was my mom and dad going to buy me, a little kid, a Black Sabbath album, lol. they did score me Kiss Alive! when i was 11, so it was all good after that.
My mom was convinced Kiss and Black Sabbath were demons in human form, sent by Satan to corrupt the world. So my older brother would send me their albums for Christmas or my birthday disguised as classical music or Christian albums.
Geezer Butler is a killer bassist, not enough people talk about how great he is. Ozzy and Iommi needed him to make Sabbath special. Bill Ward was no slouch either.
Funny you mention Doc Martins......their song "Fairies Wear Boots" was about Skinheads/thugs who wore Docs or similar boots. The band was attacked by "Fairies" after a show in 1970.
I listen to alot of heavy music and i still remember the day my dad showed me black sabbath, this song stood out, still to this day nothing is as heavy as this
Despite all the advances in metal and technology over the years, it never really got much heavier than Sabbath. Faster? Sure. More aggressive? Sure. More technical? Sure. But you take a band like Cannibal Corpse, and they don't make me feel anything at all. That's not heavy. I'd suggest "Dawn Of Megiddo" by Celtic Frost for about as truly heavy as it gets.
@@hmpz36911 I feel everyone today thinks tuning low is heavy, while yes that is heavy, but if you dont have the dynamics which really makes you heavy, then its not heavy
And to think that was in 1971 - unheard of sound. Those albums literally inventing & drawing the blueprint of heavy metal as we know it to this day. And it's still badass too lol
Gotta love it, you think you are going on a trip with Sabbath and all of a sudden they take a HARD LEFT and you are going somewhere else !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lex with the greatest "Stinkface Maximus" I've ever seen on any reaction video. Someone should forward this to Tony Iommi and do his reaction video as he watches this for the first time.
Detuned guitar and bass (down three semitones from E to C#) and a relatively slow (100bpm), satisfying song... and so many metal tropes borrowed from blues and reforged as pure metal... alternating the fifth with chromatic motion from the octave through the sevenths, with a flatted fifth along the way, but never forgetting the root... such a NASTY hook, crawling up from the abyss only to slide back down in a seemingly Sisyphean effort... several times before being loaded onto the riff train with its insistent chug with a quirky bend/release at the end... this is the birth of doom metal and the death metal that followed. I can't recall any examples of songs with guitars - especially with a heavy tone - using such a low tuning before Sabbath. You might catch people tuning to Drop D or D# but that was about it, until Tony. Extended range (7 and 8 string) guitars and drop tunings have pushed the envelope since then, but at the time, Sabbath at C# was a revelation. The low tuning is partly a result of Tony Iommi's industrial accident. He experimented with slackening the strings to make it easier to play, but I guess they ultimately liked the sound.
Lex REALLY gets it. This is nasty riffage, tanks plowing through mud vibes. Brad, this is exactly the kind of metal song I knew you'd like. This is why I keep pushing for a"Metal For Brad Stream". I guarantee that you would find "Albatross" by C.O.C. to be one of your favorite metal songs so far.
I'm 50 but all my cousins were 8 yrs. or more older than me , I got to listen to everything from the 60s and early 70s when I was a kid . Metal Head since I can remember .
every single sabbath reaction you guys do is mint 👌one of those rare bands that nearly every album they did was perfect, the 70s run with ozzy is a 10/10
Here I am letting Lex put a smile on my face again. So glad you guys checked this tune out. It's the prototype for SO MUCH music from the last 50 years.
Soundgarden actually did a pretty fantastic cover of this song where they ended up changing some of the lyrics. It's pretty amazing how great Cornell sounds on the track....even sounds like Ozzy at some points on the track.
i think this is their best song and it is one of the absolute best songs ever by any band - that good. Your reactions were priceless - thank you for a great video!
This album was the Holy Grail for every male teen to own in the late 70's early 80's. I had this album and would play it during lunch in sixth grade, right in the lunchroom💜
Makes me think of when l was Young that’s when this album came out l was a teenager jeans t shirts leather jackets smoking pot and hash going to concerts listening to great music with head phones on my whole life ahead of me That was Fifty years ago where has all the time gone.
If there was ever a Black Sabbath song that never got enough attention is Megalomania off the Sabotage album. I really think you will like it! It’s a mood song of the first order.
You guys got to do Snowblind next, Bill Ward killed it with his jazz influenced drumming. Along with Geezer Butlers bass and the Rift Master himself firing on all cylinders!!
Is exactly what I've been talking about, going deeper into Black Sabbath well done. Keep it up!! Might want to try out the Black Sabbath song warning, sometime in the future. A guitar riff like no other on that song.
The solo in Warning is devastating, Tony going totally into new territory for the time and one of the greatest solos in Rock History! If you do it start with Bit of Finger and Sleeping Village, which seamlessly flow into Warning. Enjoy! 🎸
You’ve got to love that, groovy, swing, jazz rhythm 🥁 that Bill Ward and Geezer Butler lay down in this track and appreciate Tony Iommie epic riff work as well.
These guys were one of the pioneers of bluesy metal back in the days. Influenced grunge metal and grunge punk bands in the future. Slower and heavy thick distortions. Lex is correct about Doc Marten boots! That came with grunge style in the future jaja.
What a classic tune. Just one of the classic albums us kids used to rock to back in the hood in Toronto. Early 1970’s was our time to shine. I can smell the black hash burning now.
I think 2 of the members of Black Sabbath were in Jazz bands before they formed Sabbath. That's the way I look at Sabbath now. Sped up Jazz. Long riffs with OZZY singing like a beat poet 😍
Sabbath had a Rhythm Section that was just on like any other. The beat and the Rhythm did pulsate and waiver here in there with its own sort of Crazy Life. Not in the distracting way, but it just had an energy that was very unique to these musicians. This is my favorite Sabbath song, for my favorite Sabbath album.
Lex instinctively makes MetalFace at 2:15, a most MetalFace worthy part. Lex, once again, showing us she genuinely Feelz The Noize. *Bonus points for the big smile at "everywhere is misery and woe".* A couple more points for the pure joy at 6:46 - "There's so much METAL going on!"
Another one of my favorite Black Sabbath songs, this kicks off the album Masters of Reality!!! And this song opens up with Mr. Tony Iommi’s fantastic heavy metal guitar number five GOAT on my list!!🎸🎸
I had the honor of seeing the Sabbath on their The End World Tour, front row floor seats. Nothing will ever match the heaviness of this song live. It was like being swallowed alive by doom.
Black Sabbath "Master of Reality" is a fantastic album loaded with hits: "Sweet Leaf", "Children of the Grave", "After Forever", "Lord of this World", "Into the Void". Cancer Bats do a great cover of "Into the Void", you should check it out as well.
I don't have many vinyl records but I do have Master on vinyl. Had to get it when I saw it in a record store one day. I lost the cd I got for my Walkman when I was kid. One of my all time favorites
I love you two for loving sabbath. I had a black friend in high school and I turned him on to sabbath and he turned me onto Cameo...1980ish....loved watching his first reactions. And I of course fell in love with LARRY BLACKMON
Happy to have lived until now to see a description of Black Sabbath riffs by Lex. I still love them more. This is one of the songs that paved the way for "sludge", a metal genre (EyeHateGod, Sleep, Acid Bath...)
It's a different energy said Brad referring to the vocals. Yes that was part of Sabbath's talent they could produce so many different feelings and moods within their songs.
Black Sabbath comes from the gritty factory town of Birmingham, England. Tony Iommi lost the tips of his fingers in an industrial accident, so he wore rubber fingertips when playing guitar, giving his riffs that distinctive "doom and gloom" sound.
*Zeppelin and Sabbath...they both were far ahead of the pack in relation to ROCK bands at the time. This song is one which shows you you really need to listen to complete albums by either of those two bands I mentioned initially. And not only listen to the popular songs people might suggest. Thank you for expanding on Sabbath offerings.*
I used to have this LP, hot off the press! Freakin’ Amazing! We were so spoiled as teens, didn’t even realize it! It was everywhere, such a luxury 🫶🏼❣️
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
“On a scale of 1 to 10, this riff is disgusting”.
That has got to be is the most accurate statement Lex has ever said!
"The vocals cut through the riff." Also on point.
It is a nasty fuckin' lick!
Lol Not the full quote but close enough.
Great riffs, solo, bass, drums, vocals and song all together. Absolutely the nastiest of nasty!!
And she's rockin' the stink face a few times in the song when the riff kicks in. She just gets it. :D
Tony Iommi has written some of the nastiest riffs ever. This one being, without a doubt, one of his best. You can't go wrong choosing an original Sabbath tune to react to. 🤘
You can't go wrong with more Sabbath, but please react to "Warning" next. :)
Facts. Doesn't matter who is in the band, Toni is black sabbath
This is their best ever album in my opinion !!
@@am_i_demon EXACTLY! Which is why a friend of mine - and he's sooo right - on the question of which his favorite Black Sabbath album is, answered: "The last nineteen of them".

Lex, you are definitely a 70s gal! You may not have been around during the decade, but it's definitely a part of you! It's in your face, in your soul, and the way you jam out to the music. You get it. Rock on, girl!!
She's a rocknroll soul, metal child, one of us.
I feel the same. She really just grooves
Yes
Indeed. I'm soooo hot for her.
*early 70’s. Completely different than the mid-late 70s.
Those riffs are pure DOOM! No other band captures that like Black Sabbath
this stuff didn't get played on the radio back in the 70's, when i was a little kid, but i remember hearing it blaring out of a car or house or something, and man, the heavy low sound was, for me, impossible not to like. no internet back then, so when you're 7 or 8, you just gotta keep your ears open until you hear someone playing this stuff, and ask them who it is. no way in the mid seventies was my mom and dad going to buy me, a little kid, a Black Sabbath album, lol. they did score me Kiss Alive! when i was 11, so it was all good after that.
Oh yeah, I was the guy blasting the whole album as loud as I could. Badass album !
My mom was convinced Kiss and Black Sabbath were demons in human form, sent by Satan to corrupt the world. So my older brother would send me their albums for Christmas or my birthday disguised as classical music or Christian albums.
@@drogusmaxwell6640 , that’s hilarious
FAMILY,FRIENDS AND "ROCK N' ROLL"👍✌❤🤘😊
YEP!
Best metal band of all time. Actually the creators of metal..
Black Sabbath was a HEAVY GROOVE band!
Lex is right on the ball as usual, and Brad finally agrees!. This was the heaviest song ever, back in the day. 😉
still one of the heaviest ever, at least relative to how amazing it is
Tony Iommi is a riff master of the highest order.
Tony Iommi is one of the greatest metal guitar riffers ever.
The greatest IMHO.
@@iluvj50 He was a GROOVE BEAST
The greatest!! Oh. And he also created Metal 🎸🤘. Even the 🤘 is ex Sabbath Dio's trademark.
Sure he is, he created metal
Henry Rollins gave the coolest description of Tony Iommi's guitar tone on this album--he said it was "like lava".
Rollins has always praise the first 4 or 5 or 6 black sabbath records.hes a ginormous fan
Lava rolling off a rocky crag into a bottomless fiery pit .. into..an endless abyss of sorrow and rocking all the way down
Geezer Butler is a killer bassist, not enough people talk about how great he is. Ozzy and Iommi needed him to make Sabbath special. Bill Ward was no slouch either.
Geezer and Bill are both in my top 5 on Bass & Drums. Tony & Ozzie are at least top 10 but for metal they are all #1 ! 🎸
Funny you mention Doc Martins......their song "Fairies Wear Boots" was about Skinheads/thugs who wore Docs or similar boots. The band was attacked by "Fairies" after a show in 1970.
This whole album is just great and it just cements the fact that Sabbath were the most important metal pioneers
Great Black Sabbath song. Love the riffs in this one. Also check out Children of the Grave, Snowblind, and Symptom of the Universe.
All great choices. I'd like to add Lord Of This World and Supernaut to that list.
Absolutely👍Also Hand of Doom
The Symtom of the Universe ending is just beautiful
Excellent choices!

Painkiller is like almost on par
Hahaha!!! Probably the best description of the song I've ever heard. "On the scale of nasty riffs, that was disgusting " hahaha. Brilliant
That riff is heavier than a neutron star. Thanx for taking us along on your journey.
😳😅
And to think that was in 1971 - unheard of sound. Those albums literally inventing & drawing the blueprint of heavy metal as we know it to this day. And it's still badass too lol
Master of Reality is my favorite Sabbath Album. Especially to listen to as a whole album. Contrasting songs like Orchid just make it delightful.
Gotta love it, you think you are going on a trip with Sabbath and all of a sudden they take a HARD LEFT and you are going somewhere else !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest opening guitar riffs ever in my opinion!!!!
Lex with the greatest "Stinkface Maximus" I've ever seen on any reaction video. Someone should forward this to Tony Iommi and do his reaction video as he watches this for the first time.
...and as Brad sits there looking like he's contemplating his next chess board move.
The Outlaws “Green Grass and High Tides”. I know Lex LOVES guitar solos.
GREAT SONG!
I’m so drawn to her reactions she is so into the music and so attractive I enjoy these little videos

This was the blueprint for so much of the late 80's/early 90's Seattle sound.
Lex is a magical creature! She literally became the music. Gets it in every way. Fascinating to watch!
This song is a great example of Black Sabbath being the fathers of metal music.
This song gives me the 'stank riff face' too, they started tuning their guitars down to C# standard around this time, adds to the heaviness!
Lex REALLY gets it. This is nasty riffage, tanks plowing through mud vibes. Brad, this is exactly the kind of metal song I knew you'd like. This is why I keep pushing for a"Metal For Brad Stream". I guarantee that you would find "Albatross" by C.O.C. to be one of your favorite metal songs so far.
COC definitely!! Clean My Wounds is also excellent!
Probably most Stoner will do, 1000mods is amazing too, or Kadavar, or Monster Magnet or Kyuss
I better not miss that one. This is the best idea ever. and... HAND OF DOOM!
There would also need to be Down, Superjoint Ritual and Clutch!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm double wide!
I love it! that "'nasty riff" is my ring tone. most of the time I don't want to answer the phone!!
Black Sabbath is 1 of me top 5 bands ever. This entire album kicks azz
It's amazing how nasty Sabbath's riffs were way back in 1971. I'd recommend Children of the Grave... another classic from this album.
Sweet Leaf ?
The entire Master of Reality album is awesome.
Great reaction. This album was my first exposure to Sabbath when I was 14. Loved them ever since.
The essence of heaviness! My go to song from my go to album every single time.
I'm 50 but all my cousins were 8 yrs. or more older than me , I got to listen to everything from the 60s and early 70s when I was a kid . Metal Head since I can remember .
every single sabbath reaction you guys do is mint 👌one of those rare bands that nearly every album they did was perfect, the 70s run with ozzy is a 10/10
An older cousin introduced me to Paranoid, went out and bought Sold Our Souls For Rock n Roll the next day, and a metalhead was born, changed my life!
Here I am letting Lex put a smile on my face again. So glad you guys checked this tune out. It's the prototype for SO MUCH music from the last 50 years.
I love how Lex is so into it and Brad is really listen to it, studying it. It is all good. This bang started metal in my opinion.
Love that Lex is groovin on the music/beat and Brad is checking out the lyrics for the meaning. I still love listening to these classic albums.
This album is one of there later ones and they were expanding their range! LOVE THIS BAND!!!
You guys should react to…
Black Sabbath - Children of the Grave
🎸🤘
Embryo/Into the Void. Gotta get the intro in there.
Soundgarden actually did a pretty fantastic cover of this song where they ended up changing some of the lyrics. It's pretty amazing how great Cornell sounds on the track....even sounds like Ozzy at some points on the track.
This entire album is killer, heavy metal origins right here. Some of the heaviest riffs on this album.
Can never go wrong with old Sabbath 👌
You can't go wrong with Black Sabbath, period. Anyone who divides their music into "old" and "new" are missing out.
No you can't..
Songs like this are why we had such huge speakers that we would crank up to 11.
Master of Reality is a landmark album and gave birth to grunge.
This is 1 of their best songs, especially live. Heavy as Hell. Toni is the GOAT!!!!
Black Sabbath had been warning for years that the world was coming to an end 😂
I can't help but feel like having a peek into Lex's mind would be like a serious acid trip; her musical metaphors are something else 😂
Awesome! One of my favorites of Black Sabbath. Another favorite is Under The Sun. Such amazing riffs and sweet switch ups.
i think this is their best song and it is one of the absolute best songs ever by any band - that good. Your reactions were priceless - thank you for a great video!
This song is just as relevant today, as the day it was written, just like all of their other songs. Timeless.
This album was the Holy Grail for every male teen to own in the late 70's early 80's.
I had this album and would play it during lunch in sixth grade, right in the lunchroom💜
This is my favorite Sabbath song. A classic in every way. All Hail Sabbath!!!!
The simplest of simplest... the darkest of doom...heavy blues... black hole blues! never another
Sabbath is my all time favorite band!! This is my all time favorite song from them. Next to children of the grave!!!
So glad you played this classic!

OUTSTANDING, love your reaction. Rock on Brad & Lex
Lol, I absolutely love Lex. She totally gets down while you are trying to digest the song lyrically. Love your reactions.
Lex instinctively makes MetalFace at 2:15, a most MetalFace worthy part.
Lex, once again, showing us she genuinely Feelz The Noize.

A couple more points for the pure joy at 6:46 - "There's so much METAL going on!"

Very ahead of it's time nothing sounded like this at the time. The Godfather of What became Heavy Metal. Well Sabbath Motorhead and Judas Priests
Tommy Iommi is The Riff Master! You gotta try "Electric Funeral" !
Enjoy you both very much! This is my favorite Sabbath song - great choice! You can't go wrong. This is heavy! \m/\m/
Lex…….I love ya! I was in the Nam listening to this….. my favorite band ever and it does me good to see you get into it like you do!
I had the honor of seeing the Sabbath on their The End World Tour, front row floor seats. Nothing will ever match the heaviness of this song live. It was like being swallowed alive by doom.
Me too, at Mohegan Sun, they were immense! Heaviest ever.
I used to sing this one in a garage band back in the day. It was one of our better ones. Thanks, cats.
Black Sabbath "Master of Reality" is a fantastic album loaded with hits: "Sweet Leaf", "Children of the Grave", "After Forever", "Lord of this World", "Into the Void".

It's a different energy said Brad referring to the vocals. Yes that was part of Sabbath's talent they could produce so many different feelings and moods within their songs.
My fave Sab Jam Ever. Lyrics are on point. My Fave Sab Album as a whole.
Black Sabbath comes from the gritty factory town of Birmingham, England. Tony Iommi lost the tips of his fingers in an industrial accident, so he wore rubber fingertips when playing guitar, giving his riffs that distinctive "doom and gloom" sound.

This song is one which shows you you really need to listen to complete albums by either of those two bands I mentioned initially. And not only listen to the popular songs people might suggest. Thank you for expanding on Sabbath offerings.*
Listening to those albums as they were released was a life altering experience. They should listen to them sometime. 🎵
Iommi is the riff master, and this was one of his best. And whole Master of Reality had the greatest sludge sound.
"Doc Martins walking in sand" is a pretty accurate description of grunge music which is derived from this.
One of my favorite Sabbath songs. When I first started playing guitar that riff was one of the first riffs I learned.
I used to have this LP, hot off the press! Freakin’ Amazing! We were so spoiled as teens, didn’t even realize it! It was everywhere, such a luxury 🫶🏼❣️
My favorite Black Sabbath. 1st time I heard it I accidentally walked into traffic. Decided to listen to the rest when I got home.
Oh my God my favorite Black Sabbath song. Oh the riffs
