I don’t think anyone who called Black Sabbath or Ozzy Osborne satanic ever actually read the lyrics.
Yah they know that only God's Judgment is the perfect way to make them war pigs pay for all the pain, suffering and death they caused. Jesus will be their final Judge and will have those war pigs begging for the mercy they never showed anyone else, and then they can spend eternity in Hell being in torment with their hero Lucifer/Satan. :)))
Prince of darkness is what he calls himself. Understand ?
@@tomcabrera8223 actually it was politician's who labelled them satanic, back when they dared to speak the truth, the guitarist of Sabbath who wrote all there songs was actually deeply religious, understand?
Ignorant puppets. They belong in the video.
@@filyblunt2572 yes indeed! He embraced the “Prince Of Darkness” moniker to mock them.
This was the BEGINNING of Heavy Metal!!! Black Sabbath are LEGENDS!!!
I know you like all genres of music as much as I do. If you’re not familiar with the proto punk band Death you should look into them. They were an African American band that somehow got lost in music history until recent years. People drop a lot of white rapper stuff on the Hall family so I hope LFR Jojo sees this and checks them out.
Just wanted to shine some light on African Americans who influenced punk rock the way a lot to people are shining light on The Beastie Boys contributions to hip hop. Bad Brains were pioneers of hardcore punk & actually influenced the Beastie Boys so this is all tying in. Music is awesome for many reasons, one particularly powerful reason is that it brings all people together when done right.
@@thedudeabides4829 I haven't heard of them, might need to check them out. I think most Punk was based on the sound of the British rebellion and attitude that began in the mid 60s with The Rolling Stones and The Who. That sound also took formation in America amidst the Civil Rights movement with The Stooges and MC5. If Death were somewhere in there but aren't recognised much today, it may be due to their label Columbia Records refusing to promote their stuff because of the name Death. A bit ahead of their time with the name probably, though of course you also had The Grateful Dead around this time.
Death is something special. The song "Politicians In My Eyes" is a great one to check out. And yes! Sabbath took that loud Clapton blues/Cream-thing and maximized the groove pocket and the blues tonic--kinda like AC/DC did for Chuck Berry rock n' roll. And the Beasties are mostly "right place right time". They did do some high-quality early recording production and were early mainstream hip-hop ambassadors, but like in a lot of early music the first person to do a thing is sometimes overlooked for the first person that becomes FAMOUS for doing a thing. We all remember Motown but forget about Sam Cooke. We all know Nirvana but forget about Husker Du. It is what it is, but hopefully we learn to preserve our collective memory/history better.
@@geraldhallahan5270 Most times, it doesn't matter who did what first. It matters who popularised it to inspire others to do it too. If the Vikings hadn't abandoned the Americas, they would have been seen as the founders of the new world, but they didn't. Same with music genres. Sabbath weren't the first to make heavy music that would be considered Metal, even The Beatles got there before them with Helter Skelter. But it was the way Sabbath went about it to make it their signature sound plus having a knack for writing great songs, melodies, and riffs that made them the pioneers of the genre.
It's like the Bitcoin conundrum. No one cares that you had Bitcoin when it was essentially worthless. It's those who saw hope in it and saved up that got wealthy as the value increased exponentially.
The thing I hate about this song is that it's still relevant today.
It always will be, the only time it was ever not that way was with tribal communities where leaders were picked from the best warriors
As long as Hate and Government rule it will go on. So sad.
It sure is
Except worse now because almost everyone is pro war.
@@jeffmichel4312 There still us Free Spirits that are anti Military and Pro Peace. ✌️
Black Sabbath , the grandfathers of heavy metal. They're lyrics are even heavier than the sound.
Grsndfathers!!
You are making me feel old!! 🤣😂
@@kierstenridgway4634 ...grand father...not yet 🌈
“War is poor people fighting poor people at the behest of rich people.” MLK
Best description I ever heard.
Go to keep the population down somehow....... just saying
@@doghouseriley4732 I mean murdering people and using human beings as pawns to preserve your own power seems like a pretty awful way to carry out that ideology, Thanos.
It’s also intensely supremacist. Like, we need to fight this war, and these people need to die because you’re unhappy. It’s weird because we are one world. We are the human race. The Depth of that conversation was not ideal.
Yup “feeds the rich while it buries the poor” - civil war - gnr and really all of fortune son - ccr
Jojo the sad reality is that this doesn’t describe America. It describes humans and the entirety of mankind.
was just typing the same thing as i look at your hehe
The sad truth....But I love all my fellow Americans EQUALLY...Always have, always will.
Actually this was written during the Vietnam war so was based on that loosely. But yes it does describe mankinds wars in general
@@ilvmakindolls Knowing everyone has faults is pretty comforting, no one is alone. It's all in the attitude :) keep on being you, allow others to shine through all the corruption
I was just about to make the very same comment myself. Such a sad truth
When this music hit, no one had ever heard anything like it ever.
Nancy Reagan I think
Not just America that sends the poor. Every nation in history has been run that way.
Celts got into the fray no matter what rank they held, vikings too, other tribal peoples as well where the leader was selected amongst the most brave warriors.
@@TheUpperbutt ...yes...and modern warfare..since WW 1....and the bomb has taken..the corrupting power of hate..to another level of evil machination
Every civilization with a government is like this. The Romans had their emperor and senate, the rest of Europe had lords and nobility from the start of the Middle Ages, and so on until now.
Thanks to george soros
@@PMEgan64 the only difference with the Roman's though in comparison is that the Roman's loved peace. They fought with unmatched ferocity and it they wanted a country they took it, but they loved peace more. They also just happened to be really good at war.
I didn't realize that opposing the atrocities of war was considered "woke." I guess I've been woke since the 70s...
Ditto!
Ditto myself. I actually thought it had something to do with Scientology when I was at an event and everyone was going around and asking everyone else if they were “woke”. Maybe because there was a Scientology booth at the event and I stayed as far away from it as possible.
The term "Woke" has been hijacked. Anyone who listened to the lyrics of music from most music from 1965 - 1996 were "woke" to the bullshit the system was trying to force down our throats. Nowadays, the term "Woke" means that your mind has been hijacked to think a certain way. Equality doesn't matter, equity doesn't matter. It's all about making "certain demographics" feel special, and that they are actually ABOVE everyone else simply because they have experienced a very minor level of oppression. Thing is, they couldn't survive REAL oppression if it came knocking.
The sad part is that these 1960’s/1970’s song messages are as relevant today as they were back then. It’s tragic. When are we going to learn?
My greatest fear - scarily never!?!
Just goes to show that nothing has changed
We've learned... the powers that be don't care. They ain't fighting
Don't worry about getting too woke on listening to this song, it was a Vietnam War protest song. It was MEANT to make you feel that way lol
Sabbath are British, they’ve said although war pigs is inherently anti Vietnam, they knew nothing about Vietnam when they wrote it.
I more worried that it sounds like you disagree with the song or that the Vietnam war was a bad thing lol... besides that factoid from the other... reply-er(?)
@@JeffOf813 great Britain didn't send troops to Vietnam....but they understood the war
Communism was a very real threat to the world. It is now coming into the world through our Universities and using Critical Race Theory to make people feel oppressed. Like how a union comes into a workplace and convinces people they are oppressed. Same tactic.
“You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”
Genesis 3:4-5 NLT
bible.com/bible/116/gen.3.4-5.NLT
Beware of snakes promising supposed rights,benefits and money. They are like the Serpent. The ones saying cut taxes and the budget are looking out for you generally speaking. Down with being woke unless it is being wakened from your Sin that Jesus died to save us from.
Yep 🤘
The Government don't care about skin shade when it comes to poverty. Poverty does not discriminate on skin shade.. only color the government cares about is green (money) and red (blood). So sad.
You should be writing lyrics.
Truth
@@u4riahscThank you. I've always wanted to be a music writer. If there's any rock bands out there hit me up. 😁
Love the powerful tone they have. Heavy kids , real heavy. Vietnam war was on everyones mind at that time. Respect to all our veterans , past and present.
It wasnt about vietnam specifically, just anti war in general
Ozzy!!! Black Sabbath is classic. This is the music that paved the way for so much rock and metal.
These guys were born shortly after World War II. They were children growing up in a bombed out city. War was a very deep part of their childhood.
Side note...The guitarist lost the tips of two fingers on his right hand in a work related accident at 17{ he is left handed, so...}
When my daughter was little, she kept asking my mother in law, a minister, for "The piggy song".
DAYS of searching for childrens songs leads to a very angry toddler who cannot hear her favorite song and a very frustrated grandma.
Then Daddy pulls into the parking lot one day playing War Pigs and she screams "Mimi! Mimi!!! The piggy song!" And starts singing in perfect tune.
Y’all teaching her right
Raising her right!
“The Piggy Song”
Wonderful story! God Bless.
We poor feed the rich so we stay poor. You my friend got the true meaning of the song not a satanic message
This song was written and first performed 50 years ago!
Timeless lyrics regardless of what decade we are in ✌️
Young Brother you've got just a piece of the lesson from this song. Read about even though I would prefer that you read the books. One of them is 1984. The other is called the other is animal Farm.
Forgot about brave new world
1984 are the instructions of what is happening today.
Yeah read both over the years
100%
👍👍
"Terrorists is what the big army call's the little army!" Wolverine !!
This is so much fun watching these videos, it's like having a little brother discovering precious records stashed away. Suggestions: Smoke on the water(Deep Purple) and Whole lotta Love(Led Zeppelin), those must ring a bell!
Other Black Sabbath songs to check out:

so...all of them
@@danielbagley2847 Hey, I mean, if you think so then...
I remember seeing solo Ozzy in the 90s in Sydney and from out of nowhere, they start playing Into the Void. It's not a well known song outside of the Sabbath fanatics which is what surprised me that hey chose that one. I was so happy!
One of the original heavy metal bands. Got this album when it came out and its just as good 50 years later, still gives me goosebumps.
THE og metal band.
The first Heavy Metal Band ..... Ozzy Osborne their lead singer is still touring ..... you can’t understand a word when he’s talking due to all the drugs he used in the 60’s 70’s 80’s but when he gets on stage man he can still rock and you understand every word
Not true it was all the LEGAL prescription drugs he was on that caused all his problems.
I grew up listening to this stuff. So I never classified it as heavy metal. I just knew it as rock. Like when grunge rock started I just called it alternative rock because of the radio station I found it on. But to me, rock is rock. The only sub-genre I can't get into is screamo because I can't hear what they are saying. I don't like being screamed at.
I saw one of their first concerts in San Diego around 1970 - the warm up band was called Sweathog. Don’t remember too much though....I suspect a lot of us didn’t remember much.
Ozzy just has a thick “Brummie” (Birmingham UK) accent...
@@minners71 I'm pretty sure heroin took it's toll. Sure RX didn't help but none of it helped
Not only are they a rock band, they are the greatest band of all time. They invented the heavy metal genre as we know it. This song is so true today, as it was when it came out 50 years ago.
This is 70's woke not 2020 woke.
When being woke had a real meaning and stood for something
Now a days being woke is just a Trend to Appear like you care when In reality they don't have a clue what they protest.
The Rich people who endanger freedom and are pushing equality of outcome and other Marxist ideas are the biggest danger to mankind
It is inevitable that War will exist on earth. Humans are stained with sin. Whether it is a crony capitalist who loves Trump or a leftist who loves Bernie. Ask yourselves whether Jesus approves of their platform. I think there are people who are trying to divide us on purpose. Critical Race Theory is not healthy for America. The gospel of Jesus Christ can unify. When France is worrying about CRT/IS coming there and dividing them into the oppressed and oppressor class. It is just textbook Marxism. Textbook Satanic tactics. Make America Godly Again. Church will be suffering persecution soon, unless it adopts Government restrictions. Anyway. The musicianship of this song is amazing. Use of black gospel influece ie guitar response during certain verses like a sermon almost.
Hell yeah. Man back then being woke ment something
Really?I see it all around me today,wars,masks,control of the population, surveillance,and military protecting the elites in their towers,look at the Whitehouse🤷
2020 woke is just fucked lol God damn woke bitchs offended by everything 🤣
This song IS just as relevant for everyone today as experiencing it today just as it was when it was created. I am 51 and I grew up on listening to all rock including Black Sabbath. History only repeats itself. The global government has not changed, nor will it. There will always be wars and the impoverished will always have to fight them. I was one of the foolish that enlisted at 17 and was on my way to basic training at 18.
I was enlisted foe 5 years and was in the first Gulf war. There are so many others who have way worse stories than mine..... but yes I was seduced to thinking I was fighting for a noble and worthy cause. However, I understand that wars only line the pockets of wealthy, evil, and vile politicians. Despite being raised by a very racist family, I had become FAMILY with every race, color, religion and gender by serving in the military; and I now served that government like a slave. Now that same government has tried continually to separate and divide me from my colored brothers and sisters. I am angry. They are war pigs still today! And this young guy see it for what it is today.... so yeah it IS relevant because government hasn’t changes a damn bit.
It is fantastic that you are allowing yourself to listen to music you normally wouldn't. All of us should do things like this. Take us out of our comfort zone.
“So its a rock band”
Buddy buddy buddy...No no no no no. This is heavy metal at its finest. Rock. You make me crack up.
I don't know what he expected from 1970. Some old time jazz?
"So this is a rock band"
Buddy you had NO IDEA 🤟
"Arbeit Macht Frei" or "Work Makes You Free" Was a Nazi slogan in WWII.
I'm sorry, but when you said, "so this is a rock band?" I just about fell out. I'm 58 and used to make out to Black Sabbath in high school.
It's not an analogy, it's a statement.
Man loved ur Elvis ”in the ghetto” video and i loved this one. Man u are so openminded and gives every ”kind of music” a chance. Keep it up dude! Sending ya love from Sweden!✌🏻🇸🇪
Man seeing someone listen to some of my favorite songs for the first time and experiencing them is honestly so dope. Great series keep it up man
These lyrics are sadly more relevant now than ever. Crazy.
Bill Ward's drumming is just epic in this song.
THANK YOU for expressing human ethics. Seriously, thank you. Please keep being a voice.
Grew up listening to this.. Sabbath is bad ass!!!
love that you are sharing this with your generation...much love, peace and good vibes to you!!!
This represents every authoritarian government.
This is pretty much everyones first Black Sabbath song. I remember hearing this when I was in 6th grade in 1982. The other song that could qualify would be Iron Man
Paranoid for me in the early 70's, love their album design, time tunnel
Sweet Leaf for me.
I like watching your commentary on these! I'm middle aged and grew up with a lot of the songs that you're now listening to for the first time and I love your reactions and how you see their relevancy/fun/contribution to the music scene. FYI Faith No More does a cover of this song and I like the drums in that more. But yeah this song came out decades ago. Enjoy!
I've watched a number of people, most of whom were good deal older than you, react to this song. This was definitely one of the most insightful.
Listen to “what it’s worth from Buffalo Springfield!!”! 😃🙏🏼👍🏼
Tab Benoit did a great cover of that tune. Both are 🔥
imagine 5 years ago, everybody was peace and love, ozzy and the other guys in black sabbath in the 60's
History repeating itself... You listening to all these songs nd getting what there about gives me hope fro mankind!! Thank you
You're now becoming a rocking roller. I like that you put up the lyrics. Not just America. This is the history of the world.
These videos take from the masterful songs. Sabbath made the genre.
Epic anti-war song from legendary Black Sabbath
Please react to Paranoid. It Will blow your mind 🔥
Many of us are so fortunate bro. It's good to acknowledge that. People who fall on hard times or get caught up in crazy circumstances beyond their control often say that they didn't recognize when times were good and how fortunate they were in those moments. Props for being so self aware and for giving older tunes like this a listen.
So awesome watching your reactions and realizing what's actually been going on in this world that we haven t got right in thousands of years.. Love your reactions too!! I just subscribed to you..
“The people working the most have the least freedom”. You are so right that is exactly what they were hitting on here
The only thing with video songs is people watch the video but don't pay attention to how good the song is. You did a pretty decent job of not doing that.
No he didn’t - He talked about the dumb video through all of Ward’s crazy drum fills. He barely commented on the actual music, just the lyrics and video.
@@jzeke1712
Comparatively speaking I guess is what I was saying. I know RUclips will block some artists songs unless the are accompanied by an "official" video but more times than not, reactors yap about the video and pay no attention to the song. Sabbaths' stuff can usually be done from their studio albums without having to deal with annoying videos and being blocked. Queen's "I want to break free" is a good example of how distracting videos can be.
I actually wish it would make it through the ranks of reactors to avoid this video. It really has nothing to do with the song other than showing some government stormtroopers and a bit of a tank. I've seen it completely get visually analyzed over the content of the song more than a few times. I have come to detest the existence of this fan video.
I almost didn't even click on this reaction because I saw it in the thumbnail. I didn't finish because of it.
@@markrobirds7984
Another one to toss in would be that annoying animated video that sometimes accompanies Pink Floyd's "Shine on you Crazy Diamond."
You. Are. Awesome! Thank you for turning on your generation to music that they NEVER would be exposed to. It is Much appreciated 💞
What a marvelously empathetic young man you are! You’re feeling what good people feel: awareness of ones own blessings and how they are by no means universal.
By the way, that sign? In German it reads “Arbeit macht Frei,” and was posted in concentration camps where of course there was no freedom to be had. Again, you nail the scene here and capture what it must be like to be someone stuck in a sweatshop.
This is one of the best anti war songs ever. It’s Ozzy Osborne singing lead.
You need to watch the 1969 live version from Paris. Their energy is amazing.
Please read George Orwell`s book 1984. Puts the images into perspective. Be well and keep your good work going. Peace, Love and Rock and Roll.
u are right spot on man, the stuffs real, it aint no lie!!!!!!!!!!!! love ya bud, u have made youtube alot more interesting for more me- im woke, really woke
eactly bro, it take me 45 mins on a airplane to dc, or less
There are anti war songs then there’s War Pigs. It’s in a category all its own. It’s THEE anti war song.
They do it because we let them. We fall for the BS that keeps us hating each other and they profit from misery. When you control everything it's easy to keep people miserable.
Divide and conquer. They win because we all hate each other.. Was smart for them to remove God from our country
Two parties + two medias = two Americas.
Black Sabbath the fathers of Heavy Metal, glad you appreciated it
Hey I'm a 56 year old white male who lives in Norfolk VA also , yeah I see your shirts. Lol. Also big Rush fan , watched lots of your vids. Love them! Keep on your journey dude! Lots of good music out there! Sabbath is just one of many!
I work more than 10 hours a day like millions of others.
Yeah I was thinking add both those together with no breaks and thats about what they have in mind
"It can't happen here".... Read a history book.
This is a protest song about the Vietnam war - it did happen here, and is currently happening here.
your reaction to War Pigs is fantastic. You got it completely.
Yesssss I’m so happy you immediately understood what this song was about. Metal or hard rock or whatever in general is about sticking it to the man, so to speak. You’ve become my favorite reaction channel quick
Would love to see a Pantera reaction, Cymetery Gates maybe??
I was going to suggest the same.
Great reaction! Check out Paranoid by them. Great song!
Thanks for taking the time JoJo
1970 release. Viet Nam, racial strife, fueled creation of a lot of great music in the 60s and 70s. Enjoy your journey..
The beginning of METAL
Ahh a young Ozzy singing 🤟🏻
Hay i think the breakdown u do during the song is grate! I never noticed the poster looking over the workers b4. All your video are good, your dad is pretty good too.👍
It’s good that you’re seeing with your eyes closed and hearing the voices with no one speaking. This history circling back around and it’s with no one learning from our mistakes.
Nothing to do with woke this song was when time was a lot different
"I'm fortunate, there's people for whom they really have stories like this..."
Very true....just look up National Socialism, Soviet Socialism, Cambodia, China, Venezuala,"
and any other collectivist, socialist nation.....
You got part of it right, but the whole "fascists are socialists" thing is blatantly the opposite of true.
@@elbruces The Nazis weren't fascists or socialists. They were their own thing that took from both and added a racial component to it. Italian and Spanish fascism were harmless compared to Nazism and communism. That's like European socialism is completely different than South American "socialism."
@@elbruces I think this depends on how deep one wants to go.....sure, obviously they are different...for starters they are different words!....and true they have "different" structures when implemented, and have different definitions.....however.....from the perspective of a philosophical foundation, both can be traced back to Hegel.....both, when instantiated.....exemplify Hegels notion of the State as the ultimate expression and vehicle for progress(i.e. the individual is nothing!!).....both always end up competing for the peoples fealty with any in situ religion or cultural worldview extant.....these are some essential commonalities which are far more impactful for the average citizen than more obvious structural differences....these are essential commonalities which are the causal factors in the human pain and suffering which invariably results.
@@francishuxley5928
If someone actually wanted to "go deep" on it, they wouldn't have provided that heavily cherry-picked list that you did up top.
Any form of totalitarianism is bad. And in history, there have been some in the name of socialism. And some in the name of fascism. But also a LOT in the name of capitalism.
My opinion is that this tune is the greatest heavy metal tune ever written. PERIOD.
The only thing that would have made it better is if he would have stopped the music about 15 more fucking times.
SMDH...
"oh, it's a rock band" I just spit my drink out!!! 😄
We don't "send the poor" any more. We didn't even send only the poor back then either. The draft was totally random but, there were more "options" for the politically connected, wealthy or not. Our military is TOTALLY voluntary now.
Yes it is voluntary but they do not start or choose the wars or caused they are sent to fight for
@@lonedinosaur13 And Commissioned Officers have many more options than privates/NCO's.
I beg to differ..... try living in Deshler Ohio. AKA “corn city, USA” all you are ever taught is PRO-USA from the time you breathe your first breath until you walk out your parents front door. Maybe now they have the internet. But brainwashing is a real thing. I am a product of it. You are taught one viewpoint even in public schools and there is no other viewpoint.
There is no Democratic Party, there are no such thing as LGBTQ, or minorities, or true science a lot of times. There are very real instances where families do not apply for help or services because they are too proud to get food stamp or welfare. I was raised that way. No electric or gas heat my entire life until I moved out on my own. Just coal and wood.... in -20 degrees with the wind howling 20-30 MPH, and all huddled up around a stove trying to keep warm. I think that probably qualifies as poverty.
And guess which poor morons enlist it “fight for their country???” Me! Yep....morons like me. Corn-city brainwashed poor folks. And no, not everyone in the military is like me..... but do a statistical search in the socioeconomic background of the enlisted males/females not the officers, but enlisted. See what happens.
@@angelasanchez4413 you weren't conscripted. You volunteered, how is that "differing" from my statement. Doesn't make you a moron, Angela. I'd say it makes you smart to recognize the opportunities that the military can provide. I was drafted and I wasn't poor.
The video has absolutely nothing to do with the song. Wish it would be removed from circulation.
Where's the video you made for the song?
I was 14 when this song came out in1969. Vietnam war was going on and we had a draft. In 4 years I’d most likely going. A war which our hands were tied behind our backs. Our criminal politicians didn’t give a shit. It was just more money for the war machine.
Another good war time song would be CCR’s Fortunate Son.
I remember this from the 70's. I wasn't woke then or now: just aware of the injustices in society and do my best to live a good life. If that's woke, then I am awake.
Interesting stories regarding this band:
In 1965, guitarist Tony Iommi was working at a factory, cutting sheet metal. He was about ready to leave the job because he joined a band and was ready to travel the world. However, on his last day, they put him on this big metal hammer that smashes down to cut the metal. He never used this before so he was unsure of how to use it. He pushed the metal through for the hammer to come down on but he pushed to far and it dropped on his fingertips. He yanked his hands back instantly and it ripped off the ends of his fingers. His doctors told him that he may never be able to play guitar again, but he never quit. He melted some old bottle caps onto his fingers and added some leather for the grip and proceeded to play the guitar. Eventually, he detuned his guitar to adjust this sound to make it much lower and thicker.
He single handedly invented Heavy Metal this way and it became one of the biggest genres in music! Tony Iommi is the Father of Heavy Metal!
Another name that you might actually recognise is their singer Ozzy Osbourne. This was his band back in the day and he became one of the biggest names in Metal. Their Bassist Geezer Butler is also notable for supplying the dark elements of their sound. He was fascinated with Black Magic and Witchcraft in his youth until one day Ozzy gave him a 15th Century-like Satanic Book written in Latin and showcasing numerous drawings of Satan. The book gave him a very weird feeling. That night, he awoke from a horrible nightmare and then found a Black figure at the foot of his bed, just standing there and staring at him. He panicked and got up to find the book and get rid of it, but both the figure and the book disappeared. He told the story to his bandmates and they were terrified. So they had Ozzy's dad forge four metal Cross necklaces for them and they wore them ever since. Ozzy was the most intrigued by the story that he wrote a song after that. The song was called Black Sabbath, which inspired them to change their name. That became the first true Metal song and it frightened their audiences every night they played it. But many started to love it and it quickly became their new sound, changing from their original Jazzy-Blues sound.
Let's not forget Bill Ward's drumming. Or as Ozzy introduced Him when I saw them in concert "Bill f'ing Ward!"
this band invented Heavy Metal music....period. They are THE pioneers of a whole genre of music starting back in the 60's
Ur a very intelligent young man .very open minded. We need people like you.
You get this better than many that grew up listening to it. Loved seeing you really absorb this and letting it effect you.
Black Sabbath gave birth to what is now known as Heavy Metal... Tony Iommi had to tune down to a D chord after cutting off his Fingertips in a work injury he got on the last day of working at a machine shop on a job he had never did before recording their first DEMO Album.. They got the name Black Sabbath from a Movie Billboard across the street from where they rehearsed
Sir you are wise beyond your years and you have my respect!
I'm not woke !
I am a veteran .. but you are spot on .. those that start it should fight it .. However , I joined the forces to defend my country ..
You understand this fully .. well done man !
Such a heartfelt response deserves respect....
Black Sabbath are called the godfathers of heavy metal for good reason.
You broke it down just like they did in the 1970s. Im glad you're doing this cause lots of music from past gets lost nowadays👊👊👊
Hey LFR, love the way that you take time to not just listen but analyse the lyrics. Kudos, mate!
Son. This is what we as Americans fight for. Freedom.
I seen this live at Ozzfest and it hit's different. I get chills every time I hear the outro remembering the crowd sounding along. This song is 100% better live.
Our military now is all volunteer. When this song was written there was a draft. And the the poor and uneducated were sent to Vietnam
New Suggestions
-N.I.B.
-Iron Man
-Children of the Sea
-Electric Funeral

But if you wanna, do the whole Paranoid Album, best album! And all of the songs in that album are amazing!
Viet Nam war was when this was recorded. Perfect for the time and still perfect now. 50 years old (the song, I’m older) and still relative. Have we really learned nothing in the last 1/2 history? Glad you checked this out. Keep doing your thing
Deffo about the Vietnam war am sure gimme shelter by the stones is about Vietnam as well
Not just America. It goes back to the beginning of civilization.
