What makes this song so brilliant and effective is that it doesn't mention any person, country, organization, event, or war. Instead it is vague and generic, making its message a permanently relevant and timeless criticism of human nature, rather than a divisive one-sided take on a single event.
That's exactly spot on, and why I have for decades loved this song, when more trendy or topical ones became increasingly useless expressions to explain what's going on.
War Pigs is a masterpiece of heavy metal that exposes the hypocrisy and corruption of the warmongers who profit from the suffering of others.War Pigs is a classic that deserves to be heard and appreciated by all fans of rock and metal.This song never gets old.
It doesn't matter where the conflict is. It doesn't matter who is involved in the conflict. This song sums everything up. The lyrics are universal to any war you can remember and see. TImeless classic.
It is almost universal but it is clearly targeted to world leaders and probably does not really apply to every war. I wouldn't exactly refer to all primitive tribal leaders plotting war as witches at black masses or corrupted with hatred of mankind.
I saw Sabbath in 1971 at a rock festival on the Offenbach Om Main River. They started playing as the full moon was rising over the river and I will never forget the sight and sounds of that night when they played this song.
Howdy Billy.!... I watched a concert of them in the townhall of another german city ~ I remember well when I thought, that the roof comes down at any moment !!!!! BERNIE GERMANY (NUREMBERG).. WISH YOU WELL, DUDE
I saw him in upstate New York in 2005. Before he came out onto the stage the intro sounds to crazy tain starting....it just began to rain. As he steps out onto the stage and the song takes off after his laugh...a giant forked lightning bolt spread out from behind the stage into the sky.... absolutely ridiculous timing....once in a lifetime.....
@@richardchartier3023 this is a warning of what's to come unless humanity changes. Some people say this is the devil's music. I will always argue that. This is a warning. God works in mysterious ways. I'm no saint and don't claim to be. But this is starting now. There is no denying it. People need to stop all the hate and bitterness before it's too late. But I don't think that will happen.
64 and this sends me back 51 years to when I first bought this on vinyl and had to hide it from my parents as it was a "bad influence". Great things like precious gems never change. This is one of them.

In my opinion, this is one of the greatest songs of all time. The lyrics are perfect for making the point that they were intended, the guitar is awesome, the bass line is awesome, and the drums tie it all together. Absolute masterpiece.
Sabbath's intention was to write "scary music" ; the scary part of this song is the truth in the lyrics, something the popular music media and politicians could never comprehend.

There is no perfect butthead but there is amazing. Speaking too what I'm familiar with the drummer Ward is so underrated. Maybe because he was slashed on drink so often but he goes through more rudiments in one song then I will list and in out of syncopation seamlessly over and over. Apice held the ship in his absences but the smooth creativity is most all Ward.
This could be a freedom anthem... we can all sing it when we throw out the corrupt warlords in charge globally and not a single other woman, man, child or animal will have to suffer at their hands again.

Totally agree, Ward's drumming was often underrated sadly. I got to see Sabbath with Pantera back in '99 in Pittsburgh PA and man, that was a slow the likes of which will never again be seen in my lifetime.
2 times for me both awesome! Then a couple of months ago a video of the Foo Fighters pops up with them covering this son on the David Letterman late night night show with Zac Brown on vocals and lead guitar was totally awesome and 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@MultiTaz333 One person says Beatles' Revolution, the other says Motorhead, and neither are correct because nothing tops this song's power.

Originally to be called WAR PIGS but because of the USA market (Middle of the Vietnam War) the title was changed to Paranoid
More RELEVANT TODAY than when it was first written as an "Anti Vietnam War circa 1970".

He HID SAFELY AT HOME IN THE USA in the out of the combat zone National Guard) NB. GOD SQUAD The BLACK SABBATH is the Saturday the British rounded up all the Jewish leaders AFTER THE ZIONISTS HAD BLOWN UP THE KING DAVID HOTEL*. (A Terrorist Act) The band cannot expound this fact as it would be Anti Semitic and hence some story about a horror movie. * Date (Saturday, June 29, 1946), sometimes called Black Sabbath (Hebrew: השבת השחורה) AND NOTICE NO MENTION OF THE KING DAVID HOTEL TERRORIST ACT!
Hoarders gather in their masses To buy paper for their asses Panicked minds that drive consumption As the people lose their gumption In the halls the fevers burning While the COVID keeps churning Soap and water for mankind Cleaning up their fearstruck minds Oh lord yeah
Lol that was funny man I've read the bible and also got shown the truth I've been prepared like Noah's art people don't won't to take the new world oder seriously people get rich of this shit and rich is still getting richer and the poor is getting poorer and sicker we should all come together with this and take it seriously our are government will and get in Marshall law
And also look there coming up with money that made up in thin air called bit coin... we the people got to help are people ☺☺☺ but rite on man alway keeping it funny
@Felisha Thank you, thank you. I can't fix the problem, but at least I can riff on a good comment and finish the verse. But if shit gets real, so to speak, then we're going to have to remember how we washed up for all of human history to the point we had the opulence to afford nice, soft, clean, white PAPER (the shit that comes from trees that used to build homes and heat them) to use once inefficiently and flush away down a system that uses water (the stuff we need to drink or die) to wash the mess away.
@Felisha > I'm already re-reading up on how women in the middle ages cleaned themselves. Cunnilingis wasn't popular back then. You've become my favorite RUclips commenter of the day.
Album: Paranoid Song: "War Pigs" ~ LYRICS ~ "War Pigs" Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerers of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh lord yeah! Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait 'til their judgement day comes Yeah! Now in darkness world stops turning Ashes where the bodies burning No more war pigs at the power Hand of God has struck the hour Day of judgement, God is calling On their knees the war pig's crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan laughing spreads his wings oh lord yeah!
Going to turn your statement on its head. Lets say that the women in red are the rest and the guys in black are Daesh. Now watch it again and see it in a different way. Best wishes.
+Taylor Niblett All Politicians and governments are war pigs and so are religious leaders as well. In fact they have joined forces. I sometimes question whether they had always been together, to be honest.
100% Timeless, I agree. Incredibly insightful. My Dad was a Vietnam Vet. I saw the impact it had on him. I hope the Vets of recent wars will be able to find some peace.........
Yup, him mentioning the politicians hiding is exactly right. But the politicians are just pawns. They are on a short leash. The top .0001%, the big corporation and big pharma guys are really controlling what's going on. The politicians are their little lapdog who has to obey. Send all their asses over there to fivmght since they want war. Man really think about it. Could your imagine you are already a huge millionaire, say you have $30,000,000. Then somebody tells you you can make millions more, but you are going to have to blow up some children, destroy families, etc. And you sat yes because $30 million isn't enough. Think about doing that and then going about your day normally. These people are sick and we need to find out who is at the top. They serve no purpose. They only leech off the working class and cause what's happening today. They need to go...
@@bigsteakomlete3152 You’re spot on friend. We are brainwashed to hate each other. What I do hate are these bastard Elitist Cunts who think they have the right to do this shite to humanity Skal to you all Sabbath fans 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Small minds distribute labels. These guys were labeled evil because of the lyrics and the "sound" of some of the music. Which is pretty tame by today's standards. Turns out 52 yrs later they were prophets.
And the Marxist's useful idiots are tearing down and erasing OUR history. How will are future generations ever learn from history, good and bad, to learn what works and what doesn't . . the mistakes along the way?
im sorry but most human are loving and caring but the global elite are the ones that are psychopaths that's literally what this song is describing the people at the top are like lizards they have reptilian brains that lack empathy
Time passes, people live and die, and technology changes, but the Orchestra of Death will always play the same tune throughout the ages. As long as there is Greed, there will be war. This song is just as relevant today as it was back in 1970 and unfortunately will remain relevant until the end of mankind.
fuckin' shreds may be an understatement.. the bass improvisation (and Wards drumming i guess too!) reminds me of mitch mitchel.. which makes sense given the time frame.. blah blah blah
Study History. It has been happening for 1000s years. From the beginning Evil has fought to overthrow good. Forgot who said this quote but here i say. For Evil to win is for good men to do nothing. Rock On.
@@ConsortiumBlaster I’m just wondering if good will ever prevail over the evil in this world. I know it’s been happening for centuries but I’m speaking in terms of modern day and the past as well when I said this song was ahead of it’s time. It’s timeless. I get that war is necessary at times in order for freedom and I would fight for my country in a heartbeat to preserve everything that’s been gifted to us by the veterans that have already served and that have lost their lives in doing so. Rock on to you as well🍺🤘
i dont think it was, war has always been present in our world, unfortunately. This could have been released in 1820 or 2080 and it probably would still fit
The most apt song of ALL time. This should be the anthem of remembering our traitors that call themselves politicians. No matter their leanings. Traitors ALL
These guys never have been given any respect for how incredibly talented artists they are. Very few bands at that time had so much raw talent. They were all excellent at what they did. Tony on guitar, Terry's bass playing, Ozzy's vocals, bills drumming. They all were top 5 at their particular craft if you ask me
I'm born 1949,four years after the second war was ending. I was hungry eat bread dry. As an child is having not much you don't care, Europe was broken down. Now live in Canada we have many things and I still eat bread without anything, I like it
I was born in 1968, and had no idea my family lived in poverty. I was too busy playing and doing dumb kid things. I still eat frozen fish sticks and macaroni and cheese from the box like it's the greatest thing ever, cuz it was rare and special when I had it as a kid. It will _always_ be my favorite meal.

@@polyphonicmonkey9797 yeah we have. Its close to being irradicated. Racism is not dead, but it is on life support, kept alive by politicians to create fear amongst minorites for power, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as “racists."
Yeah, we were watching the Vietnam war on TV at the time and this song, and many others with the same message, gave us the false hope that things were about to change for the good.

I first heard this song when the US was involved in Vietnam. I watched that war on television, and saw the pointlessness of wars. Now, 52 years later, we have still not learned.
Gulf of Tonkin attack declassified... all LIES! NEVER HAPPENED!!! Dont believe the LIES on your news feeds stoking the fires for WAR $$$... more LIES!!!
i always tell poeple when they are shocked about learning this country does this america 93% of its time on the planet been involved in wars there only be 15years of peace time and thats non concecutive years. it a war country more than any on the planet. and im rounding here thats 220 years of war of 235.
As a kid, I envisioned the Gamorrean guards from Star Wars when I heard “war pigs”. Now that I’m older I realize they’re talking about politicians and billionaires, which are far more terrifying.
Metal is not about Satan. It is about rebellion. People often mix that up because Satan was indeed the greatest rebel ever. But we are not God. And everything WE build, given enough time, turns to shyte. And then we need someone to tear it down. Metal exists so we do not forget this.
@hbsharkman That's the point of the Bible story. Rebellion against God is moot, since you will never create a better system on your own. The skill is to determine if a man-made system is broken up enough to get replaced.
I have fought in several wars and conflicts. Ideology, money and power drive the wheels of war. The men and women who fight have a reason too and they will die for those reasons. A freedom fighter is another man’s Terrorist, just as a liberator is another man tyrant. Only the people who have NEVER lived in the mud take the moral high ground. No matter what you believe, you will always be on someone’s side, and you will always be wrong to someone. Until you have talked to the groups of people you have killed will you understand. If you eat hand fed history, you will never have a taste of the truth. Just remember history is written by the victor, and the truth changes as generations who remember the facts pass on and are forgotten. Very nice video.
Let's work forward for peace and a chance. I'm old and worn out but still fighting the shit being poured down the mouths of those who don't know they're being used.
Check out the original, walpurgis, the opening line is: witches gathered at black masses, bodies burning in red ashes..the quality isn't as hi-def though..
@@noahh2338 I understand they changed it because of the imagery. i wish they hadn't had to do that. Given they did, i would have preferred a true rhyme - when i hear the repeated "masses," it's alway a clunky start to the song as i take note of it.
AND TO GET RID OF ALL "SO CALLED GOVERNMENTS" PERMANENTLY, ORDINARY PEOPLE COULD AND WOULD DO GREAT THINGS, WITHOUT THE EGOTISTICAL NONSENSE WE SEE WORLDWIDE.
I hate how relevant this song is 52 years later. I guess humanity isn’t intelligent enough and too selfish to learn from its own mistake and it almost surely and sadly will always be that way.
@@armourggeddon Mostly one guy. Sure. Putin is a super human god, he's able to control Russia without any supporters or people aiding him. It's all just one man. I'm being sarcastic incase you can't tell.
In 1970 when I was 7 years old, I asked Santa Claus for this album. Christmas morning was an exciting day as i received what I asked for. I asked mon if I could play my new album on the stereo. She said lets wait for grandma and grandpa to get here and we'll all sit and listen together. Grandma and grandpa showed up, the record was played, mom went into hysterics, and I went to therapy. I still have that album, it's one of my favorites.
Ever since the first time i heard this I have always loved the intro, Tony Iommi's moody guitar, the siren , and Bill Wards outstanding drumming, Sabbath at their majestic best!
@@7freedomfighter Have you ever heard The Thunder God of Metal Ronnie James Dio and his stellar work in front of Black Sabbath? The Beatles anthology is a lullaby compared to Raibow, Black Sabbath. beatles has always been and will always be the first boy band in the world, but you can never say that they are up to bands like Led Zeppellin, Black Sabbath and Raibow. And whoever studies music deeply knows very well what market fad and what music is in its brutal purity and definitely The Beatles is far from the category of Rock Gods
Marcelo Aguiar Dude chill oh my gosh, what did he do to you? Your the one acting like a kid here. How about you grow up and let people comment their opinions ok?
"Treating people like pawns in chess" That's how the rulings class looks at us, we are disposable in their eye's. Stand up against the ruling forces and start loving each other.
One Step further ....The Nephilim are to blame.....We ARe Forced to create Wars and Kill One another to appease the wanna be deities for "their" Entertainment ... Proof is The Book of Enoch...the nephilim ARe The Watchers....😉
Yeah, and now they want to kill off a pile of us because we have uppity thoughts of liberty and self-sovereignty. War, needles, carbon taxes, burning down food processing plants, unemployment, etc. All designed to cull us; they would rather have robots do their labour.
As a not fan of Black Sabbath, mainly due to different music. I absolutely applaud and appreciate this tune and message. Massive respect to Sabbath and all their long-term fans.
The difference between the old rockers and country musicians is they wrote the music lyrics from their hearts, talents, and souls not from ten Agents from the big corporation's music agents.
What makes this song so brilliant and effective is that it doesn't mention any person, country, organization, event, or war. Instead it is vague and generic, making its message a permanently relevant and timeless criticism of human nature, rather than a divisive one-sided take on a single event.

Bill Ward’s drum work here is in a class of its own .
The impact of this song would be impossible without his pitch-perfect contribution .
👏🦋❤️
Totally agree, Ward's drumming was often underrated sadly. I got to see Sabbath with Pantera back in '99 in Pittsburgh PA and man, that was a slow the likes of which will never again be seen in my lifetime.
I Absolutely Agree! 55 years old and I got see the core 4 of Sabbath 4 times. Their farewell tour was great but fell short without Bill Ward on drums.
Dude his drum work on this track is something for the ages ..
2 times for me both awesome! Then a couple of months ago a video of the Foo Fighters pops up with them covering this son on the David Letterman late night night show with Zac Brown on vocals and lead guitar was totally awesome and 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The guitar is great too

~ LYRICS ~
"War Pigs"
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes
Yeah!
Now in darkness world stops turning
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more war pigs at the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pig's crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
oh lord yeah!

Man really think about it. Could your imagine you are already a huge millionaire, say you have $30,000,000. Then somebody tells you you can make millions more, but you are going to have to blow up some children, destroy families, etc. And you sat yes because $30 million isn't enough. Think about doing that and then going about your day normally. These people are sick and we need to find out who is at the top. They serve no purpose.

Metal is not about Satan.
It is about rebellion.
People often mix that up because Satan was indeed the greatest rebel ever.
But we are not God. And everything WE build, given enough time, turns to shyte.
And then we need someone to tear it down.
Metal exists so we do not forget this.
Thinking you're the best and you're the shit. Isn't being a rebel it's being a narcissist.
@hbsharkman That's the point of the Bible story. Rebellion against God is moot, since you will never create a better system on your own.
The skill is to determine if a man-made system is broken up enough to get replaced.
I have fought in several wars and conflicts.
Ideology, money and power drive the wheels of war.
The men and women who fight have a reason too and they will die for those reasons.
A freedom fighter is another man’s Terrorist, just as a liberator is another man tyrant.
Only the people who have NEVER lived in the mud take the moral high ground.
No matter what you believe, you will always be on someone’s side, and you will always be wrong to someone.
Until you have talked to the groups of people you have killed will you understand.
If you eat hand fed history, you will never have a taste of the truth.
Just remember history is written by the victor, and the truth changes as generations who remember the facts pass on and are forgotten.
Very nice video.

She said lets wait for grandma and grandpa to get here and we'll all sit and listen together. Grandma and grandpa showed up, the record was played, mom went into hysterics, and I went to therapy. I still have that album, it's one of my favorites.
Black Sabbath is therapy.
😂 awesome story
I was 8. 🙏
you were not the only one.
Maybe if your parents and grand parents generation had stood up the song would not needed to have been written.
Ever since the first time i heard this I have always loved the intro, Tony Iommi's moody guitar, the siren , and Bill Wards outstanding drumming, Sabbath at their majestic best!
The bassline is great too!
I am here...he paid...he did it with that band. Impossible to ignore in these days. Thankyou BS
Sabbath are like The Beatles of Metal. They basically created a whole new music genre that’s still going strong to this day. Beyond legends 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Beatles? Have you listened to both anthologies?
@@7freedomfighter In terms of musical relevance, yeah
something about this anology doesnt work
@@7freedomfighter Have you ever heard The Thunder God of Metal Ronnie James Dio and his stellar work in front of Black Sabbath? The Beatles anthology is a lullaby compared to Raibow, Black Sabbath. beatles has always been and will always be the first boy band in the world, but you can never say that they are up to bands like Led Zeppellin, Black Sabbath and Raibow. And whoever studies music deeply knows very well what market fad and what music is in its brutal purity and definitely The Beatles is far from the category of Rock Gods
Indeed 🤟😎
As a Christian I can honestly say that this song has more of a biblical worldview than some contemporary Christian music.
This is good Christian music
I am Christian and feel the same as you
Claire Messier83 Thank you. I pray the Lord will bless you :)
Marcelo Aguiar Dude chill oh my gosh, what did he do to you? Your the one acting like a kid here. How about you grow up and let people comment their opinions ok?
The Catholic church slaughtered true followers of Christ
....First time discovering Black Sabbath and Holy Fuck...this is some damn good music.
I grew up in the 70's The worm is about to turn for you my friend.
Rip Van Zahir?
ozzie God of hm
welcome aboard. you will never listen to music the same way
i grew up in the 90s todays society doesnt know what good music is
Those guitar riffs made me into a better person...
The lyrics of this song have such meaning and to think this was written decades ago. This song is timeless.....
yeah that's how lyrics work
Rhyming masses with masses was just pure genius
"Treating people like pawns in chess"
That's how the rulings class looks at us, we are disposable in their eye's.
Stand up against the ruling forces and start loving each other.
One Step further ....The Nephilim are to blame.....We ARe Forced to create Wars and Kill One another to appease the wanna be deities for "their" Entertainment ... Proof is The Book of Enoch...the nephilim ARe The Watchers....😉
Yeah, and now they want to kill off a pile of us because we have uppity thoughts of liberty and self-sovereignty. War, needles, carbon taxes, burning down food processing plants, unemployment, etc. All designed to cull us; they would rather have robots do their labour.
That's just what they don't want,, us all to love each other .
The globalist war pigs
Yeah until you have a lucky break and end up being ruling class yourself. It’s called capitalism.
I’m 69 and I still love listening to Black Sabbath
As a not fan of Black Sabbath, mainly due to different music. I absolutely applaud and appreciate this tune and message. Massive respect to Sabbath and all their long-term fans.
Nobody cares about your 💩 music taste.
Bro stop f. Around and become a fan an ultra
@@saldelucia1902…that’s one way to get him as a fan I guess?…
Try Wheels of Confusion.
The difference between the old rockers and country musicians is they wrote the music lyrics from their hearts, talents, and souls not from ten Agents from the big corporation's music agents.
Such a powerful song with an amazing message truly gives me chills
I love u
Simp alert

Vzlom Zopi
EricKZhang and to think our world is still the same
I would like this comment but it's at 69 so I didnt want to ruin it
Thank you guitar hero for introducing me to so many legendary rock songs in 7th grade.
This song is a masterpiece.
Like a symphony or concerto
Iomni kicks asses bro
I'm still convinced that Bill Ward was one of the greatest metal drummers
Yessss
He is probably THE best. Just my opinion though.
+Erik Menendez Lars ulrich is better
+TheChattounet Ahahahhahaha
