This album was so great, this song gets lost in the shuffle. It was released September 18th 1970, the same day Jimi Hendrix died. Tough day to get your new album noticed.
Probably one of the most brutally honest descriptions of a veteran's trauma and drug addiction. Sabbath never pulled punches. Although rooted in the Blues, Sabbath also had some Jazz influences, which are plainly evident in the main groove of this song. Abracadabra, great choice and great reaction!
@@denystull355 I love mountain so much Leslie and felix 👌👌🤘 and flowers of evil is phenomenal mountain never failed dreams of milk and honey was great obviously Mississippi Queen is a banger and so is Never in my mind
Tony Iommi invented the riffs, Bill Ward the drums, Geezer Butler made the lyrics and bass lines and Ozzy create singin melodies and he was a front man

Watching your mind being blown was awesome! I love your reactions because their pure. Zeppelin and Sabbath are two sides of the most fantastic coin the world has ever produced. Pure British gold. I’ve been trying to decide which band is better for 40 years. I’ve always leaned slightly towards the dark side of Sabbath over the light of Zeppelin.
@@brianrussell6570 Not at all man, different strokes for different folks. Sabbath has the soul, something you can't teach, Zeppelin has that mainstream pop that few could duplicate.
that riff that drops at 4:43 is a staple of metal now. like rob zombie said " every cool riff was already written by black sabbath. you can play it faster or slower or backwards, but they wrote it first. "
Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Rainbow, AC/DC all great bands. Hand of Doom is a great song great lyrics and music.
AC DC is great band, personally I really liked albums with Bonn Scott. There is a song they did called Night Prowler about a serial killer in CA in those days. At the end of the song you hear someone say Shazzbat, nano nano. What Robin William's character Mork would say on Mork and Mindy tv show. Heard he really liked the band. Funny stuff!
At 62 I can remember listening to these guys at 13. I still get those same feelings everytime I listen to.them. Ozzy is called the Prince of Darkness for a reason.
I dig how you really appreciate the transitions from hard to soft / fast to slow tempo - I think Sabbath are masters of that. The words to this song should scare anyone away from hard addictive drugs.
I envy you, hearing Back Sabbath for the first time was and is a revelation! Every track takes you on a journey. They still sound epic, 50+ years later and that's something rare!
Can never go wrong with Sabbath. Bill Ward is so underrated. For my money....the best drummer there is. Give "Symptom of the Universe" a spin. Or if you want to hear a different side of Sabbath...."Planet Caravan" "Changes" or "Solitude". The latter, in my opinion, is one of the heaviest songs ever.
The Black Sabbath song you really want to check out is Into The Void. I Also concur with the Sabbra Cadabra suggestion. It's a lot more upbeat than most of their stuff. I think you'd also like The Wizard- Bill Ward going to town on the drums again, plus Ozzy playing harmonica.
It´s truly a heavy piece of art this one! Cool watching you get hooked about them like this, and the birds chirping away in the background =) Just got home from a AA meeting and I needed some Black Sabbath right now.
This track was written about Vietnam veterans who returned home, suffering PTSD, and using drugs to escape from their memories of war. Black Sabbath were booked to appear at several US airbases, and met these soldiers who were returning home.
The story about Black Sabbath is very interesting,because before they was call Black Sabbath,they was call Earth ,it was a blues band,every friday night they was practicing their music and they had a cinema just near the place they practiced ,every friday night they had 2 horror movies was playing and the crowd was always full,so they said ,why we dont play horror music? so they start to play a triton note ,this note was forbiden since the medieval time,because it attrack the demon ,evil ,etc,,so they used the triton note,distorsion etc,,,and they changed their name for Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath volume 4 is incredible in my listening experience it's a master piece...I got to meet black Sabbath back stage many years ago. They were incredible to say the least..bill Ward was absolutely amazing on drums..
I guess I was just so far ahead of the curve. I’m a brother and saw Sabbath in concert in New Orleans almost fifty years ago. Forty nine years ago last month to be exact. I’ll be 70 next March. 😎
I played this song in my car, with my 13 year old granddaughter, when it had finished, she said "grandad, is this song about taking drugs?" I said "yes". after a short pause, she said, "grandad, I wont take drugs" thank you black sabbath.
I remember the early seventies. A bunch of us riding around in friend's red mustang and screaming Black Sabbath songs. High AF! Never got pulled over. I don't think that would work these days! ♡
I want to bring my chair and hangout with you and just listen to so much great music with ya. I like how you pay attention, you're here for the music not to just be a youtuber. Thanks, man!
Buddy. It's a different kinda flower. One you often overlook but when you really see it, and smell it. It's pure bliss. Black Sabbath is Magic. I'm happy to see you enjoying it. Much Love.
Many Vietnam vets came home addicts...I know.💉☠I came home with an Honorable Discharge and I went to a job interview. When the interviewer saw I was a vet he said , "we don't hire baby killers" and I was told the job interview was over. The company was Ohio Edison. I listened to Black Sabbath in those days. It was therapeutic.
Lyrics by the GREAT Geezer Butler ... when you do listen again, Please listen to his bass work, it is the bones of this track. 49 years ago I bought this album and at 13 yo. I was so blown away that a week later I went and got the first album released 6-8 months before the Paranoid album Black Sabbath/Black Sabbath. after 50 years I can still listen to them everyday. NIB and Warning will be on your play list.
Black Sabbath is one of the greatest ever. But once again, all Ozzy does is sing. He doesn't write the music or the lyrics. The lyrics are all from the bassist, Geezer Butler.
@mark white, no, you're mistaken. Ozzy would at most come up with the vocal melody, and sometimes a line or two. He would scat random lyrics as the band worked the song up, and sometimes a word or phrase would become the song title, as Crazy Train did in his solo band (Bob Daisley used that and wrote the lyrics around it). That's it, that's all Ozzy did, besides play a little harmonica. Tony wrote most of the music, and Geezer the lyrics.
@@billwicketvogel1787 , yep, that's all he did. He didn't write any of the music, and he didn't write the lyrics to the songs, other than the odd phrase here and there. Period. You don't like that objective fact, too bad.
@@Semordnilaps , yes, it is. It's fucking amazing. If y'all ever want to hear what Ozzy would have sounded like if he hadn't lost the plot after Randy died, check out the band Sheavy.
Ozzie s Sabboth was the best music. I learnt to play the entire album and was playing it early 80s. Toni Iommi was my teacher. I still love it today at 63
One of the greatest songs of all time right here. If this song was released today it would be hit! Timeless. So damn good! And the drums?!?!? Good lord...
All bands build on influences from various genres of music that came before. Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi had influences. Bill Ward’s drumming - as has been previously mentioned - has jazz influences. Iommi’a guitar playing has blues influences as well ( many of the great British guitar greats do). What Iommi added was the darkness- his innovation was that dark heaviness and Ozzy’s voice worked perfectly to further set that mood. You don’t have to be devoid of influences to be considered innovators. And Sabbath certainly were innovators - arguably the inventors of metal music. Led Zeppelin we’re heavily influenced by the blues. Doesn’t mean they weren’t an absolutely stellar band- because they most certainly were among the very best. Thankfully, you don’t have to pick or choose. You can enjoy them all. Each for their own unique merits- which happens to be incredible musicianship and creativity.
2:41after Ozzy wails 'Realities can wait' and you said 'Fuck!' that not only summed up the visceral power of a good Sabbath song, but made me laugh...that drummer is a BEAST
Don't know if anyone cares LOL BUT. I had just turned 12 in 1972 still listening to AM radio not knowing anything about ROCK. I met a kid a little older than me on vacation in northern Michigan, and he played the Black sabbath Paranoid album for me and I was BLOWN AWAY. I was his pupil all summer he turned me onto Zeppelin, Rush, Stones, Kiss, Hendrix, Robin Trower, Sabbath and many more. Needless to say but I got home got me an 8-track player and some speakers along with tapes. My parents were convinced that like most of middle America in those days that Black Sabbath were Satin worshipers. I bought the tapes and whatnot with money i had earned but they confiscated the Sabbath tape but I got another one and some head phones LOL. I also got turned onto WEED and had my 1st Girl experience that summer, I wonder what that kid is up to these days. Don't remember his name but TY dude you changed my life even though my parents missed thr little boy after that summer LMAO. PEACE
thank you for your time in the military. I enjoyed your reaction to this song. most people don't understand the meaning of hand of doom. you got it n I appreciate it. I'm subscribed
its funny because your star is similar to what Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult would have done back in the day. Both of whom toured together for an epic show ! " The Black and Blue Tour"
That was my very first concert, so I remember it like it was yesterday. The crowd was a sea of denim, and provided the smoke for the stage. Everyone for a 3 block radius was stoned.
Sabbath outshines Zeppelin by far, that is my humble opinion. Up next should be Children Of The Grave, that one continues the story of War and how we should cope with things.
I must be insane then. Jimmy page stumbles through trashy guitar work and Robert plant moan like a bitch that just got slapped around. But that’s just my opinion.
Yes! Excellent reaction. I knew you'd love this song. Glad to hear you're still planning to listen to the whole album (Paranoid) and share your review with us! I'm excited to hear your thoughts on it. It seems to be many people's favorite Black Sabbath album.
They came from a blues and jazz background thats why they swing so hard! No other "metal" band swing like these guys, and say what you want about Ozzy, but he wrote some heavy, meaningful shit!
Trust me, Abra. "A National Acrobat" was the Last Great Telling that Ozzy ever sang before he came back for their last album. He told a story in this one, in that one he paints an entire "world". Or, rather, Terence" Geezer" Butler (bassist) did. Give it a reaction, my friend. I promise you won't regret it, nor will I regret watching your reaction to it. Take care.
That was really a beautiful reaction! I'll come back! Ozzy, Fuck Yeah! What I immediately like about this video. Your name, Abracadabra. Your logo on the left. Your attitude. You're outside and you look comfortable and relaxed. I'm going to quote you, "He say a certain line, then he just go up". You noticed the distinct sections in this song. I think this might be my new favorite Black Sabbath song. I feel you man. You decided to highlight certain lyrics, nice. Let me say a few other things. Maybe you know Ozzy had serious drug problems. Cocaine is probably number one. In 1975, right after Vietnam ended and NIXON was impeached, Black Sabbath ruled the fucking world. Giant bowls full of Coke, wall to wall twat. What am I trying say? There's only one Black Sabbath. Only one Ozzy. Never to be repeated. And Ozzy can survive anything! If that was unclear, I'm a HUGH fan of Black Sabbath! Just in case you're not aware, that snake in your logo is an ouroboros. It consumes itself. Something like that. I like your attitude and commitment. In my initial reaction, quote you again, "That's a dark tale...over a perfect piece of music". I completely agree. I can't put it into words, but I completely understand. Your sincerity, your passion is very inspiring. My opinion, Led Zeppelin was my first love. Black Sabbath is really hard core, really original. I just stumbled upon your channel. You hit the bullseye when you said War Pigs, Fairies wear boots. Your sincerity and passion speak volumes! I mentioned the Ouroboros, I noticed the Eye of Horus, the 303 I don't understand. You inspired me to look up 303. I think I understand. Angel 303. Peace and harmony. Stay strong Bro. Spread love, not hate! I have to comment! Something actually hit you in the head! I thought you were full of shit! I'm sorry man. You're honesty is so great! Fuck yeah!
Almost 50 years old and it sounds like it was made yesterday, you can't go wrong with any Black Sabbath song
I'm starting to see that
This album was so great, this song gets lost in the shuffle. It was released September 18th 1970, the same day Jimi Hendrix died. Tough day to get your new album noticed.
Damn , the universe
Oh my God°... Ididnt know that!!!
I was almost 11...🤔
Don't worry about playing favorites. Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin are both great bands. Share the love , there's plenty to go round.
True indeed
John Bonham always gets all the praise and rightfully so but damn Bill Ward is so underrated as a drummer. He deserves to be on more top 10 lists.
Probably one of the most brutally honest descriptions of a veteran's trauma and drug addiction. Sabbath never pulled punches.
Although rooted in the Blues, Sabbath also had some Jazz influences, which are plainly evident in the main groove of this song.
Abracadabra, great choice and great reaction!
Thank you and this song is hypnotic
@@abracadabra3033, also--thank you, for your service.
I don't know, "Flowers of Evil" by Mountain was brutally honest about heroine use during Vietnam, too.
@@denystull355 i will check that one out
@@denystull355 I love mountain so much Leslie and felix 👌👌🤘 and flowers of evil is phenomenal mountain never failed dreams of milk and honey was great obviously Mississippi Queen is a banger and so is Never in my mind
You'll love "Electric Funeral" by Black Sabbath, it's off this album too.
Agree, Hannah.👍
Black Sabbath never fails
"Sweet leaf" and "Into the void" are two great songs from the Master of reality album.
Also Killing Yourself To Live, Hole In The Sky, Supernaut, Into The Void, etc etc! Old Sabbath is great.
@@bflo1000 Sweetleaf... a fine song about marijuana
@@darkstardan3309 Right on. Doom Metal at it's finest.
Tony Iommi invented the riffs, Bill Ward the drums, Geezer Butler made the lyrics and bass lines and Ozzy create singin melodies and he was a front man
That entire album is fantastic. They were on their "A" game when they recorded it.
vietnam and heroin....powerful mix. Such a song.
Indeed
There’s a song by Black Sabbath called Sabbra Cadabra that I think you should hear just because of your username. And it’s a good song
That's one of favorite Sabbath songs.
It’s been suggested a lot , I definitely got to check that one
Omg Sabra Cadabra amazing tune!!!
Badass song
Metallica's version is fire!!💥
INTO THE VOID is an incredible song to check out. Also, A NATIONAL ACROBAT.
Big up for a national acrobat
A national acrobat, St. Vitus Dance, The Wizard, Backstreet Kids, Johnny Blade, Electric Funeral, Black Sabbath, Warning, Lord of this world, Rat salad, Wicked World, Sign of the Southern Cross(Dio), I(also Dio).
Hand of Doom. Heavy, heavy. And nuanced. Played with such a groove. This is why Black Sabbath rules man. Like your style Abracadabra, great reaction!
Thank you , i appreciate that ✌
Black Sabbath is still top of the heap, all these years later
After this song i must agree
Watching your mind being blown was awesome! I love your reactions because their pure. Zeppelin and Sabbath are two sides of the most fantastic coin the world has ever produced. Pure British gold. I’ve been trying to decide which band is better for 40 years. I’ve always leaned slightly towards the dark side of Sabbath over the light of Zeppelin.
Thank you , I can see why you would choose Black Sabbath , their sound , I love it
Same here, they are two sides of an amazing coin, im so thankful for what they made. Enriches my life like no other.
As an addict with nearly 27 years sobriety this song has meant a lot to me since an early age. I'll leave it at that.
My favorite band of all time , they are the GOAT !!!!
Bro, you really should do the track "Into the Void" next!! Btw... Sabbath over Zeppelin all day every day
I will , I see a lot of people choosing Sabbath over Zeppelin
@@abracadabra3033 thats cause they are mentally challenged ,haha
My fave sabs song too
Both are absolutely amazing bands.

The fast middle bit is the head trip of a junkie. The slow sludge is his physical reality. The bass, his heart. Fades out.
Led Zeppelin.....Black Sabbath...... Both! As a kid growing up with this music during this time, there was room for both in our hearts.
Most Sabbath lyrics were written by bass player Geezer Butler. Ozzy was the one to breath life into them!
He brought his words to life
This album is one of the most powerful albums ever produced. Each song tells a story and has its own sound.
Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Rainbow, AC/DC all great bands. Hand of Doom is a great song great lyrics and music.
AC DC is great band, personally I really liked albums with Bonn Scott. There is a song they did called Night Prowler about a serial killer in CA in those days.

@@abracadabra3033 LIVE version :)
Can never go wrong with Sabbath. Bill Ward is so underrated. For my money....the best drummer there is. Give "Symptom of the Universe" a spin. Or if you want to hear a different side of Sabbath...."Planet Caravan" "Changes" or "Solitude". The latter, in my opinion, is one of the heaviest songs ever.
Solitude is the heaviest song ever? Doesnt «latter» mean the last song mentioned?
@@subway5907 sometimes heavy in not about the music 😉
Yes! Bill Ward is the most under-rated drummer ever! And, he got royally shafted by Sharon Osbourne.
for 50 years of success you must have talent... lars ulrich is the only exeption... they have so much success despite him^^
Seelenwinter 666 Childish.
They don't make music like this anymore. Great band.
_THIS_ is how I want reactions.
Relaxed in the backyard
The Black Sabbath song you really want to check out is Into The Void.
I Also concur with the Sabbra Cadabra suggestion. It's a lot more upbeat than most of their stuff. I think you'd also like The Wizard- Bill Ward going to town on the drums again, plus Ozzy playing harmonica.
Thats coming
My favorite Sabbath tune of all time.
Black Sabbath is by far top 5 probably top 3 for me, they are amazing!
Indeed
It´s truly a heavy piece of art this one! Cool watching you get hooked about them like this, and the birds chirping away in the background =) Just got home from a AA meeting and I needed some Black Sabbath right now.
Thank you and indeed ,
This track was written about Vietnam veterans who returned home, suffering PTSD, and using drugs to escape from their memories of war. Black Sabbath were booked to appear at several US airbases, and met these soldiers who were returning home.

As a hardcore Rush, Led Zepplin , Pink Floyd ,Black Sabbath fan. I say work them all they are all exceptional in their own rights.
True
Black Sabbath volume 4 is incredible in my listening experience it's a master piece...I got to meet black Sabbath back stage many years ago. They were incredible to say the least..bill Ward was absolutely amazing on drums..
It amazes me how much people in the world that have never heard Black Sabbath, and then a few makes reaction videos of it. I loved every second.
Black Sabbath are one of a kind, not many bands can lay claim to some of the most iconic musicianship, in every aspect 🤘🖤
Gotta love heavy groove. I don't think any band has ever done it better than Sabbath.
I guess I was just so far ahead of the curve. I’m a brother and saw Sabbath in concert in New Orleans almost fifty years ago. Forty nine years ago last month to be exact. I’ll be 70 next March. 😎

This has been my favorite Black Sabbath track since it's release. Fairies Wear Boots is a close second.
The great thing is you don't have to choose. Both have their place depending on the mood you are in.
True
Black Sabbath all the way for me! Got my 1st 8 track when I was 6 years old in 1977
I was 13 when I seen them live ... Paramus NJ ....I'm now 65..... awesome 😎
I want to bring my chair and hangout with you and just listen to so much great music with ya. I like how you pay attention, you're here for the music not to just be a youtuber. Thanks, man!

Bill and Geezer are the HAND OF DOOM!!!

Black Sabbath - The Mob Rules. The whole Paranoid album is worth listening to. It was my bed time music for years.
this album "Paranoid" tells the PTSD stages of a returning Vietnam Soldier....in all it's stages...
We all win! We will never get anything again like what those two bands put out, so let's appreciate.
Agree, the sound! The are so musical that they often have to or three song in one
One of the most honest reaction channels on you tube.... keep up the good vibes bro.
That song hits you hard! So incredible.
Blues metal rock and jazz all in one
Glad you're digging Sabbath. Still relevant today. Enjoy the journey.
That is the cool part brother, you don’t have to choose a favorite. So much out there to enjoy and appreciate.
Early Sabbath just doesn't miss. Incredible 👍
NIB by Sabbath is awesome

Never again will music like this be made - thank you Abracadabra
I've heard this song many times before but never paid too much attention to the lyrics. Totally awesome Vato
Sabbath outshines Zeppelin by far, that is my humble opinion. Up next should be Children Of The Grave, that one continues the story of War and how we should cope with things.
Deep Purple outshined both of them. Unpopular opinion
Because Led Zeppelin blows
Johnny B They do not. If u say «Black Dog», «Kashmir», «Stairway to heaven» and «immigrant song» are bad tracks, u are delusional
I must be insane then. Jimmy page stumbles through trashy guitar work and Robert plant moan like a bitch that just got slapped around. But that’s just my opinion.
Johnny B yes. Your opinion
The first album has some gems on it as well. The songs Behind the Wall of Sleep, NIB, Sleeping Village- The Warning are so funky and groovy.
Yo Abra I come to your channel all the time when I'm feeling tripped... Thanks for calming my soul.
...you are one of the best..Sabbath..reactors on y tube.Thanks for your service.Bright Moments..From Australia ✌️

Thank you
They came from a blues and jazz background thats why they swing so hard! No other "metal" band swing like these guys, and say what you want about Ozzy, but he wrote some heavy, meaningful shit!
Love your work sir. Much respect. I been on this since 1980. You're a virgin here brother. Good stuff. I'm a fan for sure.
Trust me, Abra. "A National Acrobat" was the Last Great Telling that Ozzy ever sang before he came back for their last album. He told a story in this one, in that one he paints an entire "world". Or, rather, Terence" Geezer" Butler (bassist) did. Give it a reaction, my friend. I promise you won't regret it, nor will I regret watching your reaction to it. Take care.
A National Acrobat , got it , thank you Bro
@@abracadabra3033 You're most welcome, Abra. Can't wait to see where you go with the next one.
I like you. You seem very demonstrative with who you are while being open to alternative universes.
That was really a beautiful reaction! I'll come back! Ozzy, Fuck Yeah!
What I immediately like about this video. Your name, Abracadabra. Your logo on the left. Your attitude. You're outside and you look comfortable and relaxed.
I'm going to quote you, "He say a certain line, then he just go up". You noticed the distinct sections in this song. I think this might be my new favorite Black Sabbath song. I feel you man.
You decided to highlight certain lyrics, nice.
Let me say a few other things. Maybe you know Ozzy had serious drug problems. Cocaine is probably number one. In 1975, right after Vietnam ended and NIXON was impeached, Black Sabbath ruled the fucking world. Giant bowls full of Coke, wall to wall twat.
What am I trying say? There's only one Black Sabbath. Only one Ozzy. Never to be repeated. And Ozzy can survive anything!
If that was unclear, I'm a HUGH fan of Black Sabbath!
Just in case you're not aware, that snake in your logo is an ouroboros. It consumes itself. Something like that.
I like your attitude and commitment.
In my initial reaction, quote you again, "That's a dark tale...over a perfect piece of music". I completely agree. I can't put it into words, but I completely understand.
Your sincerity, your passion is very inspiring. My opinion, Led Zeppelin was my first love. Black Sabbath is really hard core, really original.
I just stumbled upon your channel. You hit the bullseye when you said War Pigs, Fairies wear boots.
Your sincerity and passion speak volumes!
I mentioned the Ouroboros, I noticed the Eye of Horus, the 303 I don't understand.
You inspired me to look up 303. I think I understand. Angel 303. Peace and harmony. Stay strong Bro. Spread love, not hate!
I have to comment! Something actually hit you in the head! I thought you were full of shit! I'm sorry man. You're honesty is so great!
Fuck yeah!
