Black Sabbath are considered the grandfathers of metal. Tony Iommi's riffs are legendary and are the bases of many metal songs that came after. I happen to have 45 years listening to rock/metal and so as you go on you'll realize the foundation that was laid from the 1970's in the the 1980's rock and metal and beyond.
I would say that Deep Purple accidentally founded it and Sabbath cemented it. As a kid I was more of a Sabbath fan but cannot discount Deep Purple's contribution to the genre
The song is not based on the Marvel Comic, which while it had been released at that time, didn't have any circulation in the UK until much later. The band wasn't aware of the comic when this was written. According to the band, the character is based on a dream Tony Iommi had, depicting a large man made of metal. Ozzy then fleshed out a story around it later when writing the lyrics. The premise is that a man in a sort of space-suit travels to the future and sees the Apocalypse. He hurriedly returns to his own time to warn people, but the "magnetic field" turns his suit to steel, trapping him inside, unable to speak, see or move. Now this monolithic steel effigy from the future (Iron Man) creates panic among people and becomes the catalyst for the very Apocalypse he had tried to prevent. It fits quite well on the Album, especially with songs like "War Pigs" and "Faeries Wear Boots", which are blatantly anti war, anti military. It was intended as an allegorical statement that Military escalation in the name of "Preventing Disaster" was self-defeating, and only increased the chances of a catastrophe. However, the movies (and to a lesser extent, the comics) are inspired by the song in many ways. Iron Man "sees the future" and realizes that weapons proliferation invites conflict rather than deterring it. That becomes a recurring theme in the comics and the movies, and that was borrowed from the song, even if they didn't take the same literal story line. The defining plot points of the character are inspired by the song and gave him a lot more depth. It took the character from a generic guy in a robot suit with lasers to a person with internal conflicts that was relatable. So the comic character and the song are two distinctly different things which have been paired after the fact in numerous ways, and are inextricable now.
Song story is something like he goes into the future and learns of the apocalypse. Goes back to the present but becomes something of a steel formed mute (due to the magnetic field). Although he tries to warn people about whats coming, is not taken seriously and mocked to their own detriment
I was 18 when I saw Black Sabbath's Paranoid Concert at the Bournemouth Winter Gardens. This was the track that really got to me that evening, the riff and melody stayed with me for days. What really impressed me was the guys just stood and played - there was no prancing around the stage as you see with modern bands - just true concentration in performing to the very best of their ability. One funny thing - this was such a load concert (I think they were one of the loudest bands of their time) that I could not adjust to the quiet when I left the venue and I nearly got run over by a car as I didn't hear it coming!! Brilliant band, true musicians.
We sure did! For me, 69 and old hippie, the music released on a weekly basis from 1964 - 1994 - Beatles to Grunge, was the best era of music in history. Classic music of some sort almost every week, we were beyond spoiled!
Black Sabbath is the Godfathers of the Metal Movement and EVERY song and I’ve heard them ALL is as good as it gets. Absolutely one of my top five groups ever!
My top 5, Beatles 1 then 4 tied at 2, no real order, more a mood: The Beatles Led Zeppelin Pink Floyd Black Sabbath Jimi Hendrix Honorable mention, tied at 6: The WHO Deep Purple The Rolling Stones Queen Van Halen My top 10
He doesn't get the props he deserves. He was innovative -Like that other -worldly tapping rythym in "Children of the Grave". I was a pot-smoking teen when I first heard that, and it really made an impression on me...What drummer sounded like that before him?
The Paris performance of War Pigs was before they recorded it with the finished lyrics. The lyrics are a bit different and I prefer the finished lyrics. That said it’s a fantastic performance especially drummer Bill Ward. I love watching people who know Ozzy because of the tv show hear his music for the first time and realize that they can understand what he’s saying 😂❤ Great reaction 👍
Paranoid was released in September 1970. The Paris show was recorded in December 1970. What Ozzy is singing on the Paris version is a mixture of the finished "Paranoid" LP lyrics, the very early version of War Pigs when it was known Walpurgis (see John Peel Sessions), and gibberish. The gibberish are words he's singing that aren't in either version.
Apparently when Ozzy heard Tony's opening riff in rehearsals he said it sounded like a big iron bloke walking around. The song has no ties to the Marvel character, it's about a man who travels to the future. He sees the apocalypse and is turned to steel by a magnetic field as he comes back to warn us, but the people don't believe him. Paranoid is my favourite Black Sabbath album, I've been a big fan for most of my life 🤘
One of the things I love most about Sabbath is how many times it will not be just a guitar solo, it will be an entirely different song. Then they will bring it back to the original riff. Sometimes they do this 2 or 3 times in a song. That’s why Iommy is the original riff master.

Great to see you learning more about the birth of metal music. The way they composed music in Black Sabbath was mainly that Tony Iommi played a riff, and the rest of the band joined in and Ozzy started rambling mumbo jumbo lyrics just to find the right melody for the lyrics. After that Geezer Butler (bass) often wrote the lyrics for Ozzy to sing.
You now have done their 3 most popular songs off the Paranoid album, time to go back to the beginning with their 1st song, Black Sabbath from the 1st self titled album. It is a special banger, totally fits October and Halloween. You should do that entire album as it sets up everything heavy that comes after, first true metal album with a blues foundation and a horror themed vibe. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Loved watching your reaction. There's another fun song on this same album called "Fairies Wear Boots", it's got a fun beat and cool transitions throughout the song. I would love to see your reaction to "Fairies Wear Boots".
Hey guys, if you are thinking of playing something scary for Halloween, here's a link to Black Sabbaths song "Black Sabbath". It' actually named after an old Boris Karloff Horror movie and it's the first song on their first album.
A ground breaking album with amazing songs from beginning to end. Such an important album in the genre of rock & heavy metal. I taught a class on the history of rock n roll & heavy metal and we spent a good amount of time on this album.
Great song and group...one of the originals that got me hooked on Heavy Metal many, many, years ago when I was a young teen. 8 track tapes and Records......amazing how far we've advanced in technology and yet we still have awesome new(ish) groups carrying on the genre..Band-Maid has some guitar and bass tones that really bring me back to songs like Iron Man.
I had this album on 8 track. The good thing about 8 track is that you were forced to listen to the "B sides" in order to get to "Iron Man ".or "Paranoid"...I think this was "We Sold our Soul for Rock n Roll"?..not sure, there was much weed when I was 15.
Excellent. Always a pleasure getting some Sabbath. Guys, Halloween is coming, you're gonna have to check out Rob Zombie's "Dragula" and maybe Iron Maiden's "Number of the Beast".
It’s funny to hear you say you like Ozzie‘s voice because it’s so clear and you can hear everything he saying lol when the man talks you can’t understand a word he says!
One of the things I always loved about Ozzy Osborne’s singing was that he could sing great harmonies, so it would always be good for him to sing on the Riff, and I think that Toni Iommi would often write riffs, so he could sing on top of them.
Amazing is that moment when during a Tony Iommi lead you realize it's NOT an echo chamber/delay effect but instead another guitar part played so close that only when he begins separating them does it become apparent. Afterwards it's almost like he's trying to put them back together but it doesn't quite fit so he keeps fiddling with it like some demonic Rubik's cube.
Legendary track! As a lifelong Marvel Comics fan, I can tell you this song was released 9 years after the Marvel character debuted. Also, as a huge pro wrestling fan, I can tell you most wrestling fans associate this song with the tag team "The Legion of Doom" The Road Warriors, who used it as their entrance theme during the 80's.
My introduction to this song was watching wrestling back in the early 80's & the Road Warriors would come out to this song. A friend of mine put it on a cassette for me & I would play this riding around in my neighborhood on my boom box. I was raised in the suburbs but being a young Black kid, riding my bike blasting this still got some stares. 😆
Old memories ! my teen years ! lol Those songs were the first we played in basements and garages because they were easy to play and they rocked ! lol ! Istill like to play along those songs ! at 67 years old ! lol ! 😎
If Ozzy watched the TV show, he probably would not even know what he is saying. He is very articulate when he sings though. This was one of my favorite songs as a teenager
You guys definitely need to hear Megalomania of Sabotage. That whole album has Ozzy’s best vocal performance not only in Black Sabbath, but also his solo albums too.
Hey Phil & Sam, I wonder if you guys want to listen to another live performance by the band "ELO" (Electric Light Orchestra) you both seemed to really enjoy the last one, so I thought I'd leave a suggestion just in case you're interested. "Jeff Lynne's ELO - Telephone Line (Live at Wimbley Stadium)" (by the channel: ELO)
The first Iron Man movie ends with Tony Stark admitting in a press conference that he is the titular superhero and when he says, "I am Iron Man" the credits roll and this songs plays, directly referencing the first lyric where Ozzy says the same thing before the main riff kicks off.
😊❤ Phil, Sam, I love your reactions!! This is a bit later in his career. I do think he was reminiscing about the earlier days of his career. I was obsessed with his music in the 70's and 80's!! (And yes he had longish hair 😅)Two of those songs are "Night Moves" and "Against the Wind" are kind of soft rock. I don't want to call them ballads, it's just his lyrics always tell the story so clearly. The 3rd insanely popular song you may have heard. "(Just gimme that) Old Time Rock and Roll"! Or maybe just part of it in a commercial, it was used in the Tom Cruize movie; "Risky Business". It is probably the most famous part of the movie. Tom Cruise sliding across a wood floor in white socks, a white shirt and tighty whities!! LOL 😂 Luv you guys! 😊❤❤
I used to come home from high school in '73 and blast the paranoid album in my parents stereo and piss the neighbours off in my Upper north shore neighbourhood in Sydney Australia.
From a lifelong fan, Black Sabbath are the best band ever, IMHO. Who else has 6 FIRE albums in 5 years ! I would recommend "Hand of Doom" from this same album, one of Sabbath's best. If you want to trip balls, try "Planet Caravan" - a whole other side of Sabbath. If you want Black Sabbath all in one song, try "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" or " Symptom of the Universe" (must be the album version, Sabbath never played the whole song live - you'll see why.
Warpigs live video is great. You get to see the drummer go crazy on a drum set that would seem to be what you'd buy your kids today. Not a giant elaborate set like you see now. The guitarist lost his fingertips at his job right after they got their big break. He made tips for his fingers out of metal and leather so he could feel the strings to play. If you watch them live you can see he holds his hands different than any other guitarist you've seen because of the accident.
You have GOT to do Hand of Doom from the same album. Also, a real turn around is Planet Caravan smooth and silky guitar solo in this one......................
Tony Iommi (eye-OWE-me), lead guitar/music writing and Geezer Butler, bass/lyrics are the greatest and most underrated songwriting team ever. Creative genius.
@@mikeg.4211 ??? he's constantly credited as the Father of riffs(heavy metal especially), on the top rank of best Guitar Players he was in the Top 10, i just don't think he's underrated and there's no prove that i am the wrong one.
Zeppelin is my fave, but I love me some early Sabbath! You must check out the live version of War Pigs from Paris, 1970, phenomenal performance! Here’s a link: ruclips.net/video/K3b6SGoN6dA/видео.htmlsi=FXD5cgU_TFl7KfK9 And always remember, the ‘70s rule, all else pales in comparison LOL!
War pigs live 1970 Paris is a must. Bill Ward's drumming Also, if you ever been to any hs or college football or basketball game, you've heard this. It's usually one of the first songs every band play
Concerning the vocal, guitarist Tony Iommi once pointed out that Ozzy always sang along with riff, while Ronnie James Dio (the band's second singer who replaced Ozzy in 1979) sang across the riff. Need to check out some Ronnie era Sabbath, I highly recommend "Heaven and Hell".
It’s about a man who goes into the future and witnesses the apocalypse. Going back to his own time, he encounters a rogue magnetic field, which turns him into a mute, steel creature. Unable to talk, he still tries to warn people about the impending end of the world, but is only mocked for his troubles. Angry and bitter, he eventually causes the devastation he’d warned everyone about. Ultimately the would-be hero becomes the villain.
You haven't even scratched the surface here. Check out "After Forever ", "Sweet Leaf", "All! Moving Parts Stand Still ", "Into The Void ", I could go on and on......
Children of the Grave, Sweet Leaf, Into the Void, After Forever... all great songs that you should listen to. But, like many metal songs there are deeper meanings to them. As many of the early rockers were well-educated, well read and very philosophical. Even today, a lot of the best lyricists are well-read deep thinkers, especially in the metal world. Rush (Neal Peart was a PhD, and the other two are also well educated), is a great example. Slipknot likewise. Metallica, too. Let's not forget Rage Against the Machine (the lead singer, and main lyrcist is a PhD in Anthropology) or Rise Against! All great. You guys would definitely love RATM - Testify, Killing in the Name, Down Rodeo, Bomb Track...
As always, inciteful reactions. And a vindication for us old metal fans who felt that critics who savaged Black Sabbath in those days missed the musical genius and vision, nevermind Ozzy's evil vocals.
Hey. Just discovered your channel watching your reaction to the Beatles Now and Then. Just watched Paranoid and you mentioned the guitar playing had a different sound. I don’t know if anyone else mentioned that the lead guitar player Tony iommi cut off the tip of one of his fingers and I believe early on he taped I believe a thimble to his finger making his sound very unique Absolutely love your channel. You did 1 reaction to the Scorpions. React to No One Like You or their biggest hit Wind Of Change.
If you had 1 song to put in a time capsule to represent Heavy Metal, This is the song. I'm 62 years old, and was made to believe, the 1966 Japanese film "Daimajin" was the inspiration. "When he tries to destroy the idol of their mountain god, the huge statue comes to life and goes on a real old-fashioned rampage.".
I hope you react to "Hand of Doom" and "Fairies Wear Boots" off this same album. I may have mentioned it before, if I have please forgive me, cause I can't help it. The first time I saw Black Sabbath was early 1971 at The Forum. They were the opening act for Grand Funk Railroad. My friends and I became huge fans that night.
If you want to do a live song besides that Paris 1970 show then try Children If The Grave live in 1998 the Reunion tour. Absolute best version of that song.

1968 *
Paranoid was the first album I ever bought with my own money. I fell in love, especially Planet Caravan which showed another side to Sabbath.
I love planet caravan from sabbath but I think pantera did it better
@@MMABembelin my opinion sabbath sounds better, it's pretty clean

Besides having one of the most recognizable guitar rifts, the drums on this song are amazing! ❤

Bill Ward forever Sabbath ✨🔥🇬🇧😎🤘
Bill Ward. Underrated drummer. He drives a lot of the Sabbath songs.
Go the whole way with this band. Amazing, brilliant, genius, and the beginning of metal.... They were the start brothers and sisters x

Ozzy Osbourn had such a great voice back then. Great reaction.
Released in 1970 so way before the movie!! I was one ,so I grew up with it!
A singer by the name of "Bob Rivers" did a parody of this song called "I am Santa Clause". It's hysterical. 🤣🎅
You guys gotta do SWEET LEAF NEXT!!!
Bill Ward beat those drums like they owed him money.
The movie couldn't ignore the song. They used the music without the vocal. You should listen to "Into The Void" from Master of Reality.
The drummer really pound's out that temple!!! Always loved old Sabbath 🎚️🎸🎼
A ground breaking album with amazing songs from beginning to end. Such an important album in the genre of rock & heavy metal. I taught a class on the history of rock n roll & heavy metal and we spent a good amount of time on this album.
"N.I.B", "Sweet Leaf" and "Changes" are my suggestions for your next Sabbath reaction. Original recording for all 3.

Concerning the vocal, guitarist Tony Iommi once pointed out that Ozzy always sang along with riff, while Ronnie James Dio (the band's second singer who replaced Ozzy in 1979) sang across the riff. Need to check out some Ronnie era Sabbath, I highly recommend "Heaven and Hell".
Bill Ward is a drumming God
Ozzy has stated that the original name for this song was Iron Bloke. lol! The Marvel Iron Man comic is from the early 60's I believe.
Sabbath iron man stomps MCU iron🤘 also please check out Heaven and hell by them with Ronnie James Dio
It was used for the ending credits of the movie, instrumental only if I remember correctly
I feel like this is where what every punk band decided their drumming was gonna sound like but I’m not complaining 🖤🤘🏼
love it , i hadn't heard of black sabbath unti 2004 when i was 19 and met the man who would become my husband
Black sabbath - Black Sabbath
It’s about a man who goes into the future and witnesses the apocalypse. Going back to his own time, he encounters a rogue magnetic field, which turns him into a mute, steel creature. Unable to talk, he still tries to warn people about the impending end of the world, but is only mocked for his troubles. Angry and bitter, he eventually causes the devastation he’d warned everyone about. Ultimately the would-be hero becomes the villain.
Yall gotta do "into the void" it's my favorite track from them! Love yalls channel!!
You haven't even scratched the surface here. Check out "After Forever ", "Sweet Leaf", "All! Moving Parts Stand Still ", "Into The Void ", I could go on and on......
Bill Ward is one of my favorite drummers 🥁
Try Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath
Should check out their self titled track, it’s probably their greatest underrated track
Love this whole album
dnb of this song is definition of metal
War Pigs , Live in Paris 1970 is a must watch !
Just watch the drummer Bill Ward on that live performance.
If your interested, Sandy Pearlman founded a group called Blue Oyster Cult. This group was supposed to be the American version of Black Sabbath.
Children of the Grave, Sweet Leaf, Into the Void, After Forever... all great songs that you should listen to. But, like many metal songs there are deeper meanings to them. As many of the early rockers were well-educated, well read and very philosophical. Even today, a lot of the best lyricists are well-read deep thinkers, especially in the metal world. Rush (Neal Peart was a PhD, and the other two are also well educated), is a great example. Slipknot likewise. Metallica, too. Let's not forget Rage Against the Machine (the lead singer, and main lyrcist is a PhD in Anthropology) or Rise Against! All great. You guys would definitely love RATM - Testify, Killing in the Name, Down Rodeo, Bomb Track...
As always, inciteful reactions. And a vindication for us old metal fans who felt that critics who savaged Black Sabbath in those days missed the musical genius and vision, nevermind Ozzy's evil vocals.
yes do War Pigs Paris 1970 Live, it's so awesome
If you like the story telling and riff translation, you need to check out Hand of Doom by Black Sabbath.
Listen to that baseline and the guitar scream
Hey. Just discovered your channel watching your reaction to the Beatles Now and Then. Just watched Paranoid and you mentioned the guitar playing had a different sound. I don’t know if anyone else mentioned that the lead guitar player Tony iommi cut off the tip of one of his fingers and I believe early on he taped I believe a thimble to his finger making his sound very unique
Absolutely love your channel. You did 1 reaction to the Scorpions. React to No One Like You or their biggest hit Wind Of Change.
Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘
Story tells Ozzy thought Tony Iommis riff sounded like a dude made of metal walkin about n that inspired Geezer to write the lyrics.
The version of this u should check out is in School of Rock Movie done by kids with Jack Black as their instructor
“Fantasy Girl” 👩🏻 (1981) - .38 Special
"Chain Lightning"
If you had 1 song to put in a time capsule to represent Heavy Metal, This is the song. I'm 62 years old, and was made to believe, the 1966 Japanese film "Daimajin" was the inspiration. "When he tries to destroy the idol of their mountain god, the huge statue comes to life and goes on a real old-fashioned rampage.".
So how many of my guitar players out there can say this was one of the first riffs you ever learned?
Got to recognize wrestling . Considered to be best tag team ever. Used this starting in mid 80s to 2005 or so. Road warriors.
I hope you react to "Hand of Doom" and "Fairies Wear Boots" off this same album. I may have mentioned it before, if I have please forgive me, cause I can't help it. The first time I saw Black Sabbath was early 1971 at The Forum. They were the opening act for Grand Funk Railroad. My friends and I became huge fans that night.
“ Megalomania “ from their album “ Sabotage” is a monster.
If you want to do a live song besides that Paris 1970 show then try Children If The Grave live in 1998 the Reunion tour. Absolute best version of that song.
You really need to check out some Ozzy.Solo he is incredible and his first guitarist Randy Rhodes R.I.P. was amazing❤
Check out the movie Heavy Metal. The Mob Rules is there from Black Sabbath. Great song. As you said the intro is great.
