Ozzy Osborne - Vocals Tony Iommi - Guitar Geezer Butler - Bass Bill Ward - drums Legit one of the best metal bands of all time even after all these years. If you guys like this, there's a whole lot more from them to enjoy!
@slaine's axe That is a great point. I have mentioned that before but all you get is silence. All of the British bands from the Beatles to Zeppelin all learned the blues. The history is interesting.
@@TriScorp , Tony losing his fingertips is what created Sabbaths sound, he used thinner strings & tuned his guitar lower so it was easier to push the strings down
So true in every way..... Latin American countries are coming to a point in time and history, where there will be a change for the better good of our patrimony...... but when it comes to lyrical poetry and/or awareness. Sabbath knew our global outcome.
DokktorDeth No it’s not. Pseudo-history. Might want to look into Helter Skelter, 20th century schozoid man, and whole lotta love. All were metal/hard rock songs made in the 1960s. There’s a bunch more too. Now sit your dumbass down.
The Hard Rock bands Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath together were all were hailed collectively as the Fathers of Heavy Metal. That's a well known fact and disputed by few, other than die-hard Sabbath fans with blinders on. Just listen to the comments and influences listed by the first acknowledged heavy metal bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeath, Motorhead, etc.
Kudos to you gentlemen. Not only did you pick an epic band but also a truly epic song. This song is pure ASMR. Subscribed to see more. Keep em coming.....
@@JUSTiNSWORLD If it is from before 1975 there were no music videos as such, (arguably perhaps) the first recognised music video was for Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody made because they couldn't play it live on the BBC TV weekly chart programme 'Top of the Pops'.
Aye, though it's not the official video it's an intepretation most folks kinda agree with when they see it so it's not a bad visualization of the message they probaly intended to communicate.
@@Grington300 They had promo videos before '75 and of course television and live footage. Bohemian Rhapsody was sort of the first "intentionally" made music video, they actually spent some money on making it.
I have been listening to this song for 49 years and it still hits me as hard today as it did when my father first cranked this song for me in 1970. This song was about the opposition to war. Some think it was against the Vietnam War, but Ozzy stated the group knew nothing about the Vietnam War. Thank you for a great reaction to this song.
What it is like to be woke your entire life. In 1971 at age 11 💇♂️ I purchased my second Black Sabbath album (Master of Reality). My collection consisted of Hair the Musical (Jesus Christ Superstar), Iron Butterfly Live (In A Gadda Da Vida), Jimi Hendrix (Axis Bold As Love), The Birds (Eight Miles High), Moody Blues (Days of the Futures Past), Black Sabbath (Paranoid) Santana (Black and Magic Woman) and shortly after bought Humble Pie's (Smokin) and Led Zeppelin's (fourth album). I still own and play all my original vinyls. Nothing sounds as real as vinyl. Rock On ✌
"I've never even heard of Ozzy before" My brain could not even comprehend your sentence lol all it would come up with is huh what uhhhhh. Lol oh well better late then never
Love your reaction, reminds me of when I first listened as a kid of 8 or 9. I have seen Sabbath live 5 times. Twice on their final tour. And even as old men they killed it every show.
I was 13 when this was released. Bought this album new for $2.40 when released along with Led Zeppelin 1 and Grand Funk Railroad. All the real good rock was coming out of the U.K. back then. You really didn't know what you were getting until you listened to it on the turn table as most of this stuff was not played on the radio.
Now that I think about it, you're right. We would pay money to hear songs & try out new groups before we even heard them. Sometimes catch a little buzz from friends or Rolling Stone or Circus (Rock mag) about a new band, but not from TV or radio. By the way, Grand Funk was/is from USA.
When this was released I was 18. I was a teenager of the times, southern , white, suburban, watching musical acts like the Monkees on TV. Not yet doing drugs. But me and my best buddy had been slowly discovering this new music, bands nobody much had heard of at the time. Bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and so many others. We would pool our nickels and dimes together and go buy a new album of a band we never heard before (they cost about $3 then). We bought based on whether the album cover struck us. When we were looking at the first Black Sabbath cover we almost didn't buy it, it looked so ominous and maybe even evil. (the mainstream did think they were satanists). But we did, took it home, played it on his cheap portable record player, and totally had our minds blown (no drugs even). We had never heard any thing like it before. Not like Beatles, not like Rolling Stones, not like any thing that came before. We spent the entire next 40 minutes banging heads, making faces, WOW's ----- just like you guys!
Your right, we took a chance buying records in the "Import" section of our local record shop. I bought it because the cover art was cool. When I heard it I thought why don't they play stuff like this on the radio?
The first time I went to ozzfest and heard the air raid sirens going off, announcing Sabbath was coming on stage, it was one of the first times I teared up as an adult. Check out the video of their final concert "Black Sabbath: The End."
What make this "oldie" hard rock tune so great today is its simplicity, just great vocals from Ozzy, clear instrumentation from the guys. Raw. a heavy topic, critical of the ruling class sending the peasants to war. A nice change from the overproduced songs of today with autotune.
LOL yes there was a draft, but a lottery was in place. Lower the NO# more likely you would get drafted. In those days , once you graduated from high school, you had to go register for the draft. Then you would be sent a draft card with a NO#. A low NO#, not good news. Say 200 or better... may not get drafted. Not sure how they figured your NO# out. I had 2 bothers in the military at the time. One in Vietnam area and one in the Pacific but not Vietnam. I kind of figure that may have played into me getting a high no#. But I could still have gotten drafted.
BTW, the lead guitarist, Tony iommi, still managed to play all his great solos even though he lost the tips of his middle and ring fingers of his right hand in an industrial accident.
A song over forty years young and still so relevant today. The voice of Ozzy Osbourne, the guitar of Tommy Iommi, and Geezer on drums--just speaks to all of us. Love the reaction.
I first heard Black Sabbath when I was 15 years old. Their heavy sound had an effect on me, and made me want to learn to play guitar. I learned how to play and formed a band a few years later that played in this heavy guitar style. It was the greatest time of my life.
I am 63 years old. Black Sabbath's Master of Reality was the first album I ever bought, back in my mid-teens. It was the right one for me to get back then, and I still listen to them today.
Blake Boros Iron Butterfly was a blip on the radar, like Blue Cheer. The Beatles’ “Helter Skelter” is often considered early metal or proto-metal, but it’s just one song. Black Sabbath was the first metal band.
Are you all forgetting that they all grew up in the bombed out, rationing recession of WWII?? I’m sure that has something to do with this too - England suffered terribly in that war & didn’t recover till the 1960s.
Been listening to this since it come out around 1971 when I was 11 years old Carol City Florida. Bringing it to Catholic School 5th grade and freaking out the nuns with it.
Ozzy singing when he was a young dude around 1969. BTW the guitar player had lost two of his fingertips from the first knuckle up in an industrial accident working a machine. He wore rubber fingertips on his bloody stumps to fret the strings and in insane pain. The price he paid for wealth and fame. It is also why they detuned their guitars to lessen the string tension.
He didnt, He melted the tops off fairy liquid bottles (washing up liquid) and made them into finger tips dstackle.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/bobbin.jpg
@@TheD4VR0S Yeah he molded plastic and then covered them with small strips of leather so he could grip the strings. He said he always thought his injury held him back, but he was a pretty damn good guitarist nonetheless imo
That's Ozzy!!! He's badass!!! Mama I'm Coming Home .. I'm Just a Dreamer. This song is one of the best anti war songs ever, with What's Going On by Marvin Gaye.
When I first heard this, it was the early 90s, and it did open my eyes to how badass metal is. This and other songs at the time made me want to rock the hell out of myself on a regular basis. Epicness is a recurring theme in this genre, and I’ve been a metalhead ever since.
I was around when this came out. This type of music was never heard of. Black Sabbath is considered the father of Heavy Metal. All Metal music is inspired by the band. They are Metal Legend
Black Sabbath is a great rock band. Originally called "Earth" they changed their name as a marketing ploy. You should react to "a national acrobat" by Black Sabbath.
They were a blues band when they were earth. They seen the movie Black Sabbath, and seen how everyone lined up to be scared. They decided it would be better to make music that would scare people. Geezer Butler's interest in classical piano, and Alister Crowley. Helped him come up with the sound, and Toni iommi took it, and ran with it
I remember when the album came out. It was a "whole package" album. All the way from War Pigs to Faries Wear Boots. A must listen, along with the first album, "Black Sabbath"
This song is nearly 50 years old now. So many songs like these that we all know note for note, yet the world seems to miss the message. The true tragedy of a song like this is that it still applies as strongly today as it did almost a half a century ago.
When I was about 17, I was chillin' with some friends and we had this shit cranked up as loud as my friend's dad's impressive stereo system would go. The beginning of the song freaked the neighbor lady out. She was an older German lady, and she said it reminded her of the sirens during WWII, and we were like, "Uh...no shit, old lady!" Busted us up for days. This song is the SHIT and has been for 50 fucking years!!!
This was my best friend and her husbands wedding song. 26 years later and they are the best couple I have ever seen. Still rocking their faces off, still loving.
im a 50 year old man no joke i loved led zeppelin groing up at like 7 years old a friend in my 5 grade class gave me a sabbath album to borrow..i was instanly hooked at begged my parents to get me a guitar..i been playing guitar and off for over 40 years.hail black sabbath
Glad you enjoyed it. Me and friends in the 80s used to sit in a room with the black light on rollen em up and listening to this and other badass music. I’m kinda jealous,if you really like this then you still have so much to discover. Rock on.
Been listening to this since basically when it first come out, when I was about 9-10 years old, remember having it on 8-track & jamming on My Sony Quadraphonic sound 8-track car stereo, kick ass deck for the time, most were lucky to have 1 channel/speaker) in my first car, 69 Ford Galaxie 500, Laff'n....not the most classic of cars, but it had a 390 that would Smoke the Tires right Off, which always pleased the Chicks..... & Dad too of course!.....so anyway, that should pretty much sum up where My head was at the time.... Peace Out.......& Rock On Beyond
Yup. A teenager during the 70s and going to Black Sabbath concerts. They. Were. Awesome! We saw 'em again in '13 and I felt like a teenager again. That song was originally written during the middle of the Viet Nam war and took the US by storm. But they never got airplay on ANY radio stations and still sold over a million albums here-------all by word of mouth! Now that's badass!
I'm only 33, but my mum was always singing the American songs in the kitchen. Sing never sang this one, but she played it und I liked it even then I knew it was something uncommon und worthy. :-)
Black Sabbath!!! This band is epic! Great Great Song! GREAT REACTION GUYS! 🤘 Ozzi Osborne - Vocals. Bill Ward - Drums. Tony Lommi - Main Guitar. Geezer Butler - Bass.
great reaction, wish you had watched a lyric video instead. the video you watched has nothing to do with the song originally. love your reactions regardless.
I love rock & roll, however, never ventured down the heavy metal side of rock too often, except for Black Sabbath, because the messages in their songs always touched home for me, and even more relevant now, and who could not love the dynamics if Ozzie's voice!!! Great review :)
I was 17 when it first came came out in 1970, and at first the instruments attracted me to it..never heard anything quite like it before and I've loved Heavy Metal ever since!. My Fav metal album is the fifth Sabbath one 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'. Now I'm 66 and I still enjoy all Sabbaths albums, but especially the fifth one. Thanks for this review, its good to see someone appreciate this style of music.
Back in the 70s, when I was a teenager, this song blew my mind, just like all of Black Sabbath's songs did. You never heard it on the radio, there was no such thing as RUclips. You only knew about Sabbath by word of mouth man. I was at a party and someone put Black Sabbath's first album on. The very first song, called Black Sabbath, absolutely had me entranced, mesmerized. It changed my life! Those dark, distorted guitar chords! Ozzy's scary vocals! The somber bass and drums! It was unlike anything I had heard before, and all I knew was that I liked it! Tony Iommi, Sabbath's guitar player, inspired me to stick with guitar practice. I just had to learn those guitar parts. Then when their 2nd album came out, called Paranoid, it had War Pigs. With War Pigs, Black Sabbath put themselves far beyond ordinary rock. In fact they invented what would become known as "doom rock" and of course heavy metal. The rest is history...
That's the Oz-man on vocals...Tony Iommi doin that legendary guitar riff...one of the first "anti-war" anthems ever. All the instrumentation on this is friggin sic. Sabbath's songwriting and message is where Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) got a lot of influence from.
The original name of the song was Walpurgis, and the lyrics are different also. It originally had nothing to do with war. I saw a video of Sabbath live in Paris singing it this way, but I don't know if it's still up. When they put it to an album, they changed the name and the lyrics.
Hey Justin's world! I was there, the first time I heard Sabbath was in 1970, the song was Iron Man. We were in my friends dad's car and it had the rare (for that time) FM radio and we were on a hill north of San Francisco listening to the first 'underground rock' station in the nation. KSAN 95.5 stereo, eo, eo... Any way, this was the music that I had been waiting for, no one up until that point had been heavy enough for me, and when I heard Sabbath I said "This is it!!, this is the music I've been waiting for!" and we named that hill 'Black Sabbath hill' from then on. I can't tell you what it was like listening to that music for the first time...there had never been anything like it. I have been a metal head from that point on. Now I listen to progressive metal (I've kept up) and since 1972 I have played the bass guitar in many good bands. I would love to be able to talk to you guys, I have a list of only the best metal (I'm very, very picky) from 1969 to the present. Please respond to this comment and we'll find a way to talk. Cheers! PS, my favorite song right now is by a progressive metal band called Pain of Salvation. This 10 min. song has everything in it and two of the best singers I've ever heard. I have to listen to it at least twice (three times) every time I play it. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
You'd never know it looking at him today, but Ozzy is the man. Unfortunately, you can't do all the drugs in the whole wide world for years on end without looking like that. If you need another flavor of Black Sabbath, go listen to Heaven and Hell. Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Very different. Every bit as good.
For all he did, he looks not too bad, it's talking to him that's a little tough 😏😵😵😬😬 .. We used to watch The Osbournes, ehen they had their reality show and it was hysterical!!!
Ozzy Vocals, Toni Iommi Guitar, Terry "Geezer" Butler bass, Bill Ward drums. The Guitarist had the tip's of his fingers cut off in a work place accident. In order for him to play he D tuned his guitar in order to loosen the string's so it was easier on his finger's. This gave his guitar it's signature sound, and HEAVY METAL was born. At first doctors told him he'd never be able to play again, he said fuck off watch me. He fashioned his own prosthetic's for his finger's and the rest is music history.
Ozzy Osborne - Vocals
Tony Iommi - Guitar
Geezer Butler - Bass
Bill Ward - drums

Shit, Sabbath invented metal.
Tony Iommi lost some of his fingertips in an industrial accident and can still play like that

There’s a reason Ozzy is a rock legend. And hearing this back when it was new, was amazing. Black Sabbath were bringing it on every record.
They ARE Black Sabbath, they ARE English, and they invented heavy metal on Friday 13 February 1970 in Birmingham, England.
Debatable. There’s some metal songs before then. They did put it on the map though.
@@mikec71346 It's not open to debate. It's officially recognised as fact.

Black Sabbath is a great rock band. Originally called "Earth" they changed their name as a marketing ploy.
You should react to "a national acrobat" by Black Sabbath.
They were a blues band when they were earth. They seen the movie Black Sabbath, and seen how everyone lined up to be scared. They decided it would be better to make music that would scare people. Geezer Butler's interest in classical piano, and Alister Crowley. Helped him come up with the sound, and Toni iommi took it, and ran with it
I remember when the album came out. It was a "whole package" album. All the way from War Pigs to Faries Wear Boots. A must listen, along with the first album, "Black Sabbath"
Ozzy Osbourne is the lead singer
This song is nearly 50 years old now. So many songs like these that we all know note for note, yet the world seems to miss the message. The true tragedy of a song like this is that it still applies as strongly today as it did almost a half a century ago.
We will never learn.
That is The Man. The Myth. The Legend. The Madman. The Prince of Darkness......Ozzy Osbourne on Vocals
When I was about 17, I was chillin' with some friends and we had this shit cranked up as loud as my friend's dad's impressive stereo system would go. The beginning of the song freaked the neighbor lady out. She was an older German lady, and she said it reminded her of the sirens during WWII, and we were like, "Uh...no shit, old lady!" Busted us up for days.
This song is the SHIT and has been for 50 fucking years!!!
You should do a reaction to Baba O'Reilly by The Who. One of the greatest songs of all time!!!
I did my research... I know Ozzy... Who is on the vocals???
Ahahahaha
Even puts a pic of the man on vocals smh
Ozzy Osbourne on Vocals
Tony Iommi on lead guitar
Geezer Butler on Bass
And Bill Ward on the Drums
This is my favourite song Ever and I grew up with sabbath and saw them live back in the day.. Awesome
Listen to Ozzy’s solo stuff.
Crazy Train, Mr Crowley, Over The Mountain
John Starace its not as good
No more tears is also good
Over the Mountain is so overlooked
Diary of a madman is his finest solo song. IMO
Both Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman albums must be heard in their entirety.
This was my best friend and her husbands wedding song. 26 years later and they are the best couple I have ever seen. Still rocking their faces off, still loving.
Ozzzzzzzzy! 😂 best thing to come out of Birmingham for years
No that’s the M1 and M6 😂😂

Dudes! ya gotta do the Black Sabbath song "After Forever" next!!!!
yes! indeed.
Glad you enjoyed it. Me and friends in the 80s used to sit in a room with the black light on rollen em up and listening to this and other badass music. I’m kinda jealous,if you really like this then you still have so much to discover. Rock on.
you should try listening to the live 1970 version and get a look at the drummer declare war on that drum kit
Been listening to this since basically when it first come out, when I was about 9-10 years old, remember having it on 8-track & jamming on My Sony Quadraphonic sound 8-track car stereo, kick ass deck for the time, most were lucky to have 1 channel/speaker) in my first car, 69 Ford Galaxie 500, Laff'n....not the most classic of cars, but it had a 390 that would Smoke the Tires right Off, which always pleased the Chicks..... & Dad too of course!.....so anyway, that should pretty much sum up where My head was at the time....
Peace Out.......& Rock On Beyond
The lead singer is Ozzy Osborne
Yup. A teenager during the 70s and going to Black Sabbath concerts. They. Were. Awesome! We saw 'em again in '13 and I felt like a teenager again.
That song was originally written during the middle of the Viet Nam war and took the US by storm. But they never got airplay on ANY radio stations and still sold over a million albums here-------all by word of mouth! Now that's badass!
Sick to death of this homemade video for this. Someone find it and delete it! Hackers, hear my call!
Ikr get that shit video outta here
I'm only 33, but my mum was always singing the American songs in the kitchen.
Sing never sang this one, but she played it und I liked it even then I knew it was something
uncommon und worthy. :-)
That's the shit right there. Love Ozzy especially but the whole band was onit back then
Black Sabbath!!! This band is epic! Great Great Song! GREAT REACTION GUYS! 🤘
Ozzi Osborne - Vocals.
Bill Ward - Drums.
Tony Lommi - Main Guitar.
Geezer Butler - Bass.
great reaction, wish you had watched a lyric video instead. the video you watched has nothing to do with the song originally. love your reactions regardless.
I love rock & roll, however, never ventured down the heavy metal side of rock too often, except for Black Sabbath, because the messages in their songs always touched home for me, and even more relevant now, and who could not love the dynamics if Ozzie's voice!!! Great review :)
Ozzy Osbourne-Vocals
Tony Iommi-Lead Guitar
Geezer Butler-Bass Guitar
Bill Ward-Drums
I was 17 when it first came came out in 1970, and at first the instruments attracted me to it..never heard anything quite like it before and I've loved Heavy Metal ever since!. My Fav metal album is the fifth Sabbath one 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'. Now I'm 66 and I still enjoy all Sabbaths albums, but especially the fifth one. Thanks for this review, its good to see someone appreciate this style of music.
Lead singer is OZZY OSBORNE
Back in the 70s, when I was a teenager, this song blew my mind, just like all of Black Sabbath's songs did. You never heard it on the radio, there was no such thing as RUclips. You only knew about Sabbath by word of mouth man. I was at a party and someone put Black Sabbath's first album on. The very first song, called Black Sabbath, absolutely had me entranced, mesmerized. It changed my life! Those dark, distorted guitar chords! Ozzy's scary vocals! The somber bass and drums! It was unlike anything I had heard before, and all I knew was that I liked it! Tony Iommi, Sabbath's guitar player, inspired me to stick with guitar practice. I just had to learn those guitar parts. Then when their 2nd album came out, called Paranoid, it had War Pigs. With War Pigs, Black Sabbath put themselves far beyond ordinary rock. In fact they invented what would become known as "doom rock" and of course heavy metal. The rest is history...
Everyone misses the bass, yet Geezer is wailing like a madman. Listen to it again, ignore the guitar and it'll be a whole new experience.
AgReed. The bass line is far superior to a layered solo
Danny Reimer People like them don't know what a Bass guitar is.
That's the Oz-man on vocals...Tony Iommi doin that legendary guitar riff...one of the first "anti-war" anthems ever. All the instrumentation on this is friggin sic. Sabbath's songwriting and message is where Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) got a lot of influence from.
Anti war song. Came out during the Vietnam conflict
The original name of the song was Walpurgis, and the lyrics are different also. It originally had nothing to do with war. I saw a video of Sabbath live in Paris singing it this way, but I don't know if it's still up. When they put it to an album, they changed the name and the lyrics.
I was around in the 70's when this epic song came out. We heard the message. It made no difference. Here we are.
try listening to the bass, geezer is a m,otherfuffin beast on the bass
Was learning how to play guitar in the 70s my favorite band
Some dude named Ozzy I think.
He's alright
Lol
very nice to see young men interested in the music we old people loved at your age
Ozz man on vocals
Toni on the six string
Geezer on bass
And Bill on drums
Geezer is one amazing lyricist. The lyrics to Snowblind are unbelievably haunting.
I think you would like sweet leaf or fairys wear boots with black sabbath
Hey Justin's world! I was there, the first time I heard Sabbath was in 1970, the song was Iron Man. We were in my friends dad's car and it had the rare (for that time) FM radio and we were on a hill north of San Francisco listening to the first 'underground rock' station in the nation. KSAN 95.5 stereo, eo, eo... Any way, this was the music that I had been waiting for, no one up until that point had been heavy enough for me, and when I heard Sabbath I said "This is it!!, this is the music I've been waiting for!" and we named that hill 'Black Sabbath hill' from then on. I can't tell you what it was like listening to that music for the first time...there had never been anything like it. I have been a metal head from that point on. Now I listen to progressive metal (I've kept up) and since 1972 I have played the bass guitar in many good bands. I would love to be able to talk to you guys, I have a list of only the best metal (I'm very, very picky) from 1969 to the present. Please respond to this comment and we'll find a way to talk. Cheers! PS, my favorite song right now is by a progressive metal band called Pain of Salvation. This 10 min. song has everything in it and two of the best singers I've ever heard. I have to listen to it at least twice (three times) every time I play it. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
You'd never know it looking at him today, but Ozzy is the man. Unfortunately, you can't do all the drugs in the whole wide world for years on end without looking like that.
If you need another flavor of Black Sabbath, go listen to Heaven and Hell. Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Very different. Every bit as good.
For all he did, he looks not too bad, it's talking to him that's a little tough 😏😵😵😬😬 .. We used to watch The Osbournes, ehen they had their reality show and it was hysterical!!!
He's in his 70s and up until last year, still rocking our faces off. He looks great and is possibly not human!
Ozzy may be one who has a stutter when speaking but was great singing.
In the 70s this was part of the music I put on to help me sleep. Quite a few groups back then were deep into social criticism. I totally enjoyed it.
prob you'll hear a hundred times, it's the Oz, keep asking questions, glad you like the heavy
Ozzy Vocals, Toni Iommi Guitar, Terry "Geezer" Butler bass, Bill Ward drums. The Guitarist had the tip's of his fingers cut off in a work place accident. In order for him to play he D tuned his guitar in order to loosen the string's so it was easier on his finger's. This gave his guitar it's signature sound, and HEAVY METAL was born. At first doctors told him he'd never be able to play again, he said fuck off watch me. He fashioned his own prosthetic's for his finger's and the rest is music history.
Epic protest song about Vietnam war
Hand Of Doom by Black Sabbath is my favorite track. The intro has what I would call one of the earliest hip-hop sounding drum beats.
