Toni Iommi is one of the creators of heavy metal. Perhaps the very father of the heavy metal guitar sound. Back when he was just a young man, he was working in a mill and chopped off the tips of two of fingers. So he had to make some "pads" for his fingers. But they couldn't work with fine strings. So he bought 'heavy metal" strings for his guitar. It made a deep and rich sound....la! And we hear it very clear on this song!
I think for a lot of us Paranoid was our introduction to the band. It is one of those songs that used to be included on every rock or metal compilation alongside the likes of Since you been gone & Ace of spades. It was a massive song for them as it reached #4 in the UK singles chart and it took them another 8 years before they hit the chart again with Never say die at #21. Paranoid was their first and biggest hit single, hence the inclusion on all those compilations. While some people will say it is overplayed or they have tired of it, for me it is still one of their best songs. That riff is just so god damn recognisable.
Crazy how this song was written and recorded in 20 mins as a filler for the album "War Pigs". The record company change the name of the album to paranoid, without the band knowing. You should also check out Sober by Tool at the reading festival
I could just sit and listen to her talk all day long. Im an American and that accent is hypnotizingly beautiful. And you like my favorite band. Love your videos , you ROCK!!!!!❤❤
On October 1, the premiere of a stunningly beautiful video for the song “Baikal” took place on Diana Ankudinova’s RUclips channel. The soundtrack performed by Diana became the main musical theme of the film “The Spirit of Baikal,” which will be released in wide release on October 19, 2023. In the film itself, Diana voiced two roles - the spirit of Lake Baikal and the voice of the soul of the deceased mother of the main character of the film. The film received several top awards at film festivals.
First heavy metal song ever, created by a series of bizarre accidents. Tommy Iommi worked in a factory in Birmingham and before he turned pro, as a musician, an industrial accident wore his fingers down almost to the bone on his fret hand. So, in order to relieve the pressure on his fingers he had to loosen the strings on his guitar(Gibson SG), thereby deepening the tone. After recording their first album they needed another track, so, on the spot, Iommi came up with the riff and Geezer Butler wrote the lyrics. Clearly, Geezer is not the name his mama gave him, but the name he came to be known as on the backstreets of Birmingham. He was the leader of the band. Ozzie is a legend. Maybe the best rock singer of all time. They were laughed at by the British musical press when their first album was released. Well done and thank you, Geezette!
Millie, I saw this band in Miami around 1970 when they first come to town. Loved their sound when I first heard them on the radio and immediately went out and bought their album. Still love those early albums.
The original Black Sabbath was: Anthony Frank Iommi (Tony Iommi, guitar)... Terence Michael Joseph Butler (Geezer Butler, bass)... William Thomas Ward (Bill Ward, drums) ... and John Michael Osbourne (Ozzy Osbourne, vocals) ... Formed in Birmingham around 1968 originally as a blues cover band Earth, changing their name to Black Sabbath in 1969 after the first song they had written together - it was inspired by a 1940's horror movie 'Black Sabbath' (which was playing in a movie across the band's rehearsal space)... The band's debut album in 1970 and 2nd album 'Paranoid' the same year, provided the foundations of what would become heavy metal and hard rock music... They influenced everyone from Van Halen to Metallica to Guns N' Roses to Nirvana to KoRn to Nine Inch Nails to Tool ... and beyond. Ozzy Osbourne wanted to become a rock n' roll singer in 1967 after spending a stint in jail as a teen. His dad bought him a P.A. system and Ozzy put up an ad at a local music store... He met Geezer Butler (who played guitar) through the ad and played in his first band... Then, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward saw the ad, and Tony Iommi knew Ozzy from school (he used to bully Ozzy) and decided to look him up (it was the same Ozzy he knew)... They decided to form a new band w/ Butler and Ozzy and soon, there were just the 4 of them. In 1969, they heard the first Led Zeppelin record and knew that Robert Plant and John Bonham were from Birmingham... They wanted to play that style of 'heavy rock' and amped up what Led Zeppelin were doing. By 1970, Black Sabbath had their own sound and were touring America... They recalled that the first US tour was at a club in the East Coast and they were playing L.A. Forum in the West Coast (where Led Zeppelin played) ... That's how fast Black Sabbath rose in popularity. Sadly, Black Sabbath's excessive substance abuse and legal fights, as well as internal turmoil, ended up splitting the original band after Ozzy was fired in 1979 and went on to have a huge solo career in the 80's. Black Sabbath carried on w/ numerous vocalists, including Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan, and Tony 'Cat' Martin... but it was the original band w/ Ozzy Osbourne that is the most iconic and commercially successful.
My favorite band growing up & still to this day)))They started out under the name Earth & played the blues. They changed their name to Black Sabbath in 1969, there was a movie playing in the cinema across the street from the revenue they were playing at called Black Sabbath & they decided to change their name to that along with their style of music to what just heard)) Some song suggestions are After Forever,, Symptoms Of The Universe, Changes, Dirty Women, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.. Keep rocking)))
One of my favorite Black Sabbath hits. But, it has always amazed me that Ozzie talks like a slurring drunk with a mouthful of marbles but when he sings his voice is so clear and his pronunciation is distinct. The magic of music, I guess.
Takes me back to my teens. Some of my friends called it "a load of noise", but I liked it, as well as a lot of Prog. Can we comment on "Geezer" Butler's bass playing and Bill Ward's constant driving drumming. Geezer real name is Terence, but who wants a Terry in their band? This was on BBC1 TOTP Top of The Pops.
I know you reacted to this awhile ago. Ive always loved this song. Have you reacted to War Pigs? If not i know you would love it. The one with the official video is very touching.
Tony Iommi has written some of the most iconic metal riffs in history and he had three or four of his fingertips chopped off in some kind of manufacturing accident. Hella crazy
May I suggest that you pay special attention to Geezer on that electric bass. The drummer is the world famous Bill Ward! I saw this band way back in the 1970's!!!!! Way before you were born!!!! A fine concert, I mean DAMN great.......... Now young lady you must check out NIB live in Paris in 1970... Geezer is tearing up on that one. Oh yeah!!!!!! They were SO young in that one. BUT they had a killer sound.
Millie I have been listening to some Steppenwolf lately. The bass runs make me think of you. Please locate and review them, please. Born to be Wild, Screaming Night Hog, and many more!!
A music journalist at the time described Sabbath’s music as sounding like Heavy Metal intending to denegrate them. But he made them the first ever Heavy Metal Band, I hope they bought him a drink!
Millie, I found a cover of this classic that YOU MUST watch!!!! It is ---- "Buckets the Drummer Paranoid by Black Sabbath covered in the bathroom" When you watch get ready for some intense head banging!!! It is fun yet pretty good. It has 66 K thumbs up.
More Sabbath song "musts", in no particular order, you might try are: Sweet Leaf__Sabbath Bloody Sabbath__Black Sabbath__N.I.B.__Fairies Wear Boots__Electric Funeral__Into the Void__Children of the Grave ... and I could go on. Geezer (Terry) Butler, on bass, wrote most of Sabbath's lyrics.
Fine reaction. If you think the introduction to this song was scary and if you want more Black Sabbath, well... then I recommend for you... "Black Sabbath"! 😅 That's it, there's no mistake! The name of the band is Black Sabbath, the album's title is Black Sabbath, and the song title is "Black Sabbath"! And you still want more Black Sabbath?? 😂 Ok, here you are: "N.I.B."; "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"; "Sabbra Cadabra"; "Changes"; "War Pigs"; "Sympathy for the Devil"; and the good but underrated "The Shining", from Black Sabbath's album "The Eternal Idol" (1987). Ah, yeah, and the name of one of the greatest guitarists in Rock History is Tony Iommi! 😉👍
Great reaction and great song. Some other if you like are N.I.B. Iron man , War Pigs . Just a few. I hear Ozzy is going be doing one last album and tour. The pod cast is tomorrow (Tuesday) There could be talk about his last album. I'm not sure about it.
Hi there Millie, For your information (fact Check me on this) Sabbath got sued over this song. Some kid was into it. And killed himself. His family filed a suit. The court ruled that he killed himself by his own hand. The drummer is Bill Ward. He is a master drummer. The bass man is Geezer.. But you found out before this video was over. You girl have a lot of fans!!!! YOU............. Take care.
Geezer is his nickname. His real name is Terence Michael Joseph Butler. Too posh to be a rock star. You also have a problem with pronouncing the last name of the guitarist. The name is unusual for a Briton. He is a son of Italian immigrants. You pronounced it as being someone with Italian-Hispanic roots. But he was born a Briton in Birmingham so the pronunciation of his name took on the Brummie version, something like tow-nee ai-ow-mee. His real name is Frank Anthony. Similarly, Ozzy's real name is John Michael (but I don't know if he himself still remembers it). They in the band's lineup don't give official names, just what their friends call them. That's why the drummer is Bill and not William. It's also worth knowing that the "demonic" sound of the band, which was considered a forerunner of the heaviest varieties of rock, took after by accident. Tonny has damaged fingertips on his right hand and is left-handed. He had to overtune his guitar to avoid discomfort. And that's how rock from hell, or in fact, from a horror movie, was born. The name of the band Black Sabbath comes from the Italian low-budget horror picture with the original title "I tre volti della paura," directed by Mario Bava and starring the demonic Boris Karloff in 1963.
Also, due to his missing fingertips, Tony Iommi plays with prosthetic caps on the middle and ring fingers of his right hand...not sure how... probably can't feel the strings. The caps are briefly visible on some of their videos. He was also briefly a member of Jethro Tull. Not on any Tull albums, but he is with them on the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus performance.
Two down, now to complete your intro trifecta for Black Sabbath might I suggest 'Iron Man'. Then perhaps something from his solo works and perhaps my favorite song of all songs ever! 'Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train'. Cheers.
Although there are many arguments about who invented Heavy Metal, most Rock Critics defer to Black Sabbath. In America I would defer to Blue Cheer as the American inventors of the genre.
If you're looking for more Ozzy era Sabbath to react to: Children of the Grave---Lord of this World---Supernaught---Sabbath Bloody Sabbath---Symptom of the Universe. Then there is is an all too sweet nut shortt Ronnie James Dio era after Ozzy got booted: Heaven and Hell---Children of the Sea---Neon Knights---Sign of the Southern Cross---Voodoo. btw it's Tony eye-oh-me
Hola, bonita, sería buenisimo que reacciones a la canción "The Miracle" del álbum "The Miracle" de Queen de 1989, el último disco de la banda en los 80's. Te lo agradezco. Cuidate!!
Terence BUTLER affectionately nicknamed GEEZER by his older brother. One the nicest and most talented musicians of the era.
Toni Iommi is one of the creators of heavy metal. Perhaps the very father of the heavy metal guitar sound.
Back when he was just a young man, he was working in a mill and chopped off the tips of two of fingers. So he had to make some "pads" for his fingers. But they couldn't work with fine strings. So he bought 'heavy metal" strings for his guitar. It made a deep and rich sound....la!
And we hear it very clear on this song!
BLACK SABBATH IS THE FATHER OF METAL…
FIRST SONG, FIRST ALBUM…. BLACK SABBATH, BLACK SABBATH
IT STARTS HERE… ROCK ON 👊🖖
Bill Ward's fabulous drumming is best featured on "War Pigs" live in Paris.
Live in Paris 1970
She 's hip
A classic banger! This song never gets old. Keep on rocking 🎸 🎸 🥁 🥁 😊🎉❤
I think for a lot of us Paranoid was our introduction to the band. It is one of those songs that used to be included on every rock or metal compilation alongside the likes of Since you been gone & Ace of spades.
It was a massive song for them as it reached #4 in the UK singles chart and it took them another 8 years before they hit the chart again with Never say die at #21. Paranoid was their first and biggest hit single, hence the inclusion on all those compilations.
While some people will say it is overplayed or they have tired of it, for me it is still one of their best songs. That riff is just so god damn recognisable.
Geezer is the glue of the band.. he writes a lot of what they did including lyrics
Hey there 1 of my first songs i heard of Sabbs way back when i was a young lad in 72. Awesome , still listening now it wont leave you ever !!!
Rangemaster treble boost for the solo win. And as ever Geezer Butler's bass line is the secret sauce.
Ahh, is that the amazing fuzz pedal he's using? It sounds so epic/fat/big, thanks for the info!
Geezer is so underrated
Crazy how this song was written and recorded in 20 mins as a filler for the album "War Pigs". The record company change the name of the album to paranoid, without the band knowing.
You should also check out Sober by Tool at the reading festival
Yep, was going to post the same about Paranoid.
Paranoid was written as a fill in song at last minute
I could just sit and listen to her talk all day long. Im an American and that accent is hypnotizingly beautiful. And you like my favorite band. Love your videos , you ROCK!!!!!❤❤

3:54 Terrence "Geezer" Butler also the lyricist of the band at that time ;)
Saw them in concert. We all went nuts when they played Paranoid.
really really great to see "younger" people getting to know great rock/metal!
Fun fact, it's one of most well know metal riffs of all time and it only happens in the intro.
you found an awesome recording of them :) love you Millie, love your content, you are AWESOME!
My mum saw these live in the 70s and Ozzy started the show by bursting out of a coffin
"That sounds heavy..." welcome to the birth of Heavy Metal. Didn't exist before these guys
Last time i remember hearing this song, it was 1998 i was sitting stoned as hell on a couch, time flies...
Geezer Butler beating that bass like it owes him money!! Classic
Millie, I saw this band in Miami around 1970 when they first come to town. Loved their sound when I first heard them on the radio and immediately went out and bought their album. Still love those early albums.
Band line-up is: Jophn Ozzy Osbourne - vocal; Tony Iommi - guitar; Terry 'Geezer' Butler - Bass: Bill Ward - drums.
The drummer Bill Ward will blow your socks off if you watch Black Sabbath War Pigs in Paris 1970.

Bill Ward , another drummer from the Birmingham area (UK) and John Bonham's (Led Zeppelin) mate. Both on the gigging circuit in the 60's.

Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Volume 4, Sabotage.....
the iconic records with Ozzy Osbourne on Vocals.

Hey I wanted to say that I love your channel and you are a amazing musician and singer. Also a very beautiful lady.

Takes me back to my teens. Some of my friends called it "a load of noise", but I liked it, as well as a lot of Prog.
Can we comment on "Geezer" Butler's bass playing and Bill Ward's constant driving drumming. Geezer real name is Terence, but who wants a Terry in their band?

Bill Word is the Drums, the Bassist is the Geezer Butlon.
I know you reacted to this awhile ago. Ive always loved this song. Have you reacted to War Pigs? If not i know you would love it. The one with the official video is very touching.
Vocals-Ozzy Osbourne, Guitar-Tony Iommi, Drums- Bill Ward, Bass- Geezer Butler
Geezer Butler is the perfect bassist's name, and so is Leo Lyons. Leo was the awesome bass player for Ten Years After.
Tony Iommi has written some of the most iconic metal riffs in history and he had three or four of his fingertips chopped off in some kind of manufacturing accident. Hella crazy
Rock on Millie 🤘 🎸🎵

Geezer and Bill rythem section only equalled by Rinus Gerritsen and Cesar Zuiderwijk

A music journalist at the time described Sabbath’s music as sounding like Heavy Metal intending to denegrate them. But he made them the first ever Heavy Metal Band, I hope they bought him a drink!
I love this Song ...
Anthony Iôni - abbreviation is Tony Iôni
Geezer Butlon, the greatest bass player I've ever seen.
Drummer's name is Bill Ward. Bassist Terry "Geezer" Butler
Millie,

Word Bill - Battery
Tonny Iôni - Guitar
Geezer Butlon - Low
Ozzy Osbourne - vocals
His real name is Terence Michael Joseph "Geezer" Butler.
This was 🔥🔥🔥💥🔥🔥🔥. Only complaint too short. Songs needed to be short to get on the radio back then. I really dig this and Iron Man by them.
5 minutes too short!!!!👍👍
More Sabbath song "musts", in no particular order, you might try are: Sweet Leaf__Sabbath Bloody Sabbath__Black Sabbath__N.I.B.__Fairies Wear Boots__Electric Funeral__Into the Void__Children of the Grave ... and I could go on. Geezer (Terry) Butler, on bass, wrote most of Sabbath's lyrics.
Nothing from the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album? My personal favorite of theirs.. It’s an absolutely epic hidden gem.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath Well, I included; "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" and "and I could go on."
Geezer Butler is killing it on bass
Fine reaction. If you think the introduction to this song was scary and if you want more Black Sabbath, well... then I recommend for you... "Black Sabbath"! 😅 That's it, there's no mistake! The name of the band is Black Sabbath, the album's title is Black Sabbath, and the song title is "Black Sabbath"!

Ah, yeah, and the name of one of the greatest guitarists in Rock History is Tony Iommi! 😉👍
i was only 6 when this come out wow.
Great reaction Millie! By the way, the bassist nickname is Geezer. His real name is Terry Butler. Can you learn to play the bass like that Millie? 😎
the drummer is bill ward. they kicked him out not that long ago because he could no longer keep up...
Gizzer Butler is the name of that bassist
Great reaction and great song. Some other if you like are N.I.B. Iron man , War Pigs . Just a few.
I hear Ozzy is going be doing one last album and tour. The pod cast is tomorrow (Tuesday) There could be talk about his

Seen them in 1975,yes Geezer Butler
Look at Heaven and He'll with Die Your. It's Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Very good guitar and bass
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Very goooooooooooddd❤
The guitarist is Tony Iommi. Pronounce it like Tony eye-oh-me
drummer is Bil Ward...one of the best of all time,i believe Animal from the muppets was figured out of his drumming😂i mean....look at the guy lol😅
Heard that, Eddie Van Halen say it was him, also heard Keith Moon.
Geezer, he was the youngster in the band, as well as the principle lyric writer.
You should listen to Grand Funk's song Paranoid from the red album. Different song completely, and if you love bass, it's got a killer bass riff . . .
look at this😀
❤
Rainbow- stargazer!
TONY (eye-ohm-me) IOMME

Hi there Millie,
For your information (fact Check me on this) Sabbath got sued over this song. Some kid was into it. And killed himself. His family filed a suit. The court ruled that he killed himself by his own hand. The drummer is Bill Ward. He is a master drummer. The bass man is Geezer.. But you found out before this video was over. You girl have a lot of fans!!!! YOU............. Take care.
Bill Ward on drums Millie 😊
Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘

Hello Millie 🤘
Bill Ward on drums
If you're looking for more Ozzy era Sabbath to react to: Children of the Grave---Lord of this World---Supernaught---Sabbath Bloody Sabbath---Symptom of the Universe. Then there is is an all too sweet nut shortt Ronnie James Dio era after Ozzy got booted: Heaven and Hell---Children of the Sea---Neon Knights---Sign of the Southern Cross---Voodoo. btw it's Tony eye-oh-me
Hola, bonita, sería buenisimo que reacciones a la canción "The Miracle" del álbum "The Miracle" de Queen de 1989, el último disco de la banda en los 80's.
Te lo agradezco. Cuidate!!
