I watched a video of Bill Ward speaking about drumming on acid. A bit later I found a video just titled "Bill Ward drum solo 1978". I'm sure that video is showing the activity on which he spoke. And he was amazing, some things can be taught but that level of talent is innate.
Ward might be the most exceptional cymbalist metal has ever seen. Obviously he's a phenomenal drummer all around, but his cymbal work is just something else.
@@onetruthmediacompany don't forget Jimi .. he had stuff like Machine gun that was coming up pretty much Metal also .. Hendrix had a lot to do with metal.. too bad he died so early
Deep Purple, Led Zep, and Black Sabbath are considered "The UnHoly Trinity" that started metal. From Britain to the rest of the World....you're welcome
Black Sabbath ,who is Lead Vocals Ozzy Osbourne , Lead Guitar Tony Iommi , drummer Bill Ward , and Bassist Geezer Butler, are widely regarded as the originators of heavy metal and one of the greatest bands to ever play. I am looking forward to seeing you guys react to more of them, 2 suggestion are Black Sabbath - Paranoid and Black Sabbath - NIB .
@Ronald williams I love Jimi Hendrix, but I wouldn't classify his music as "heavy metal". It's more "acid metal" I think. Who knows with all these genre labels? Like Billy Joel says "It's all rock and roll to me!" Besides, what do I know? I'm just some clown on the internet!
@Ronald williams Jimi was Acid Rock, Sabbath are part of the unholy trinity that started metal along side Deep Purple and Led Zepplin. It is well documented. Jimi is great, but not metal.
@Ronald williams yes they are. Your opinion is wrong. Like I said it was documented since the 70's. They are one third of the unholy trinity that started metal. They just did not like the moniker, because they thought it was an insult. When they understood what it actually meant, they accepted it.
@Ronald williams Hendrix was NOT metal. Acid soaked Blues is more accurate. But really,Jimi was a genre unto himself. As for Sabbath,they and Iron Butterfly,whom none of you mentioned,are pretty much universally regarded as the originators of "metal". You're right as far as most anyone I've ever known or known of is concerned as to Zeppelin and also Deep Purple not being "metal". Hard blues rock,sure. But there IS a difference between that and metal and Zeppelin,Purple and yes,Jimi,all land on the side of the former. Sabbath is the latter.
When Tony was started to think about the sound he wanted, he first needed to find the guitar strings that were thick enough. Next thing was to built a speaker......
And thus the Metal was born and world smiled, for they knew it was good. Now...to witness the real power of this band..watch the live video of this song from Paris...it is godlike
@@Milius47 there arent 20, or even 3, that could be their most UNDERRATED, which is more the point. "into the void" is less known than their other best songs.
It's pretty cool your learning about black sabbath . At the very least they are a very surprising band at what they bring to the table music wise. Many have always called them the first real heavy metal band and as such have influenced a ton of other music groups . Thanks for the reaction fam!much love
Ozzy and the rest of the guys in Sabbath grew up on what the British call 'council estates' which their equivalent of a housing project. They are genuinely tough men.
Bill Ward was INSANE on drums - one of my favorite of his drum tracks is Black Sabbath's "Children of the Grave" - he has a regular drum part, but then at certain times he adds a second track that just fits the song perfectly, and sounds like it pans from one ear to the other when wearing headphones.
The more I watch Black Sabbath reactions - Black freaking Sabbath, the godfathers of EVERY metal band, the more I realize Sabbath is a funk/swing/blues band. Haha. That just makes them even better! Ozzy, Toni, Gezzer, and Bill on drums.....in the 60s? We haven't gotten better. Love you guys.
Cause they started out that way. They were originally a six-piece band called "The Polka Tulk Blues Band". Then Tony Iommi left and joined Jethro Tull for like...lol less than a month. When he came back, they trimmed the band down to a four-piece and began working on the music style that would become "Black Sabbath".
Bill Ward on a fairly basic drumkit, he killed it. please watch this "live" Paris concert 1970. He has a basic drumkit compared to other rock drummers. It is an amazing performance. It's reported the drumkit still lives in a special hospital and is still kept heavily sedated to save itself
You should try and check out an early live version of this as you will see Bill Ward just going mental on the drums. Unbelievable performance!!! Worth a look!
It is so great . It is before the song was released & in the video Bill is tearing it up & Ozzy is being Ozzy to the max . I watch it all the time & I still get chills
Tony Iommi could definitely write some good riffs. Jimmi Hendrix and some other guitarists may have been considered GOATS for their technical playing ability but tony could really write them all away. War Pigs had some change ups but sort of subtle they made sense. some of their songs really have a lot of major changes in them, if it was modern day they would have said hey instead of putting all these riffs in 1 song lets save them and make 5 different songs out of this. Tony was basically inventing a new genre of music and wrote so many sounds to fit within it at the same time, so much so that most metal bands today can't hardly write a song without at least a little bit of a Sabbath riff in there somewhere. as for the rest Bill Ward was just amazing on drums, and Geezer butler's bass lines were too often a bit understated in the sound would love to hear how it would sound with the bass brought out a bit more in the mixing. and as for Ozzy his voice is just unique and iconic. overall, just an amazing band ahead of their time. suggested songs, 'supernaut', 'wheels of confusion', 'a national acrobat', 'spiral architect'
And what about that epic solo from "Warning"? Tony goes from a blues style into jazz and then slips in some straight classical stuff...lol he travels all over the musical map in that solo and makes it all work together.
Black sabbath started it all for "heavy metal" everyone painted them as devil worshippers and all that but if you listen to the lyrics you will find out differently. So many great songs to choose. But I'd recommend "children of the grave" maybe lyric video
Tony Iommi had his finger tips cut off in a factory accident before he joined sabbath, it didn't stop him at all from being one of the best gutair players ever
Bill Ward showing out on this one and most. Ozzy will eventually pull you into his rabbit hole of greatness. I STRONGLY suggest anyone who is a Black Sabbath fan check out the Toni Iommi interview, I was STUNNED to learn about his finger accident and how he overcame it. Geezer being a guitarist had to learn the bass but you would never know. I would react to THE WIZARD REHEARSAL video. Less likely to be blocked, shows them live in a rehearsal recording session when the reformed as older gents and WOW nobody misses a beat (I know Bill Ward isn't in it but the drumming is TOP shelf still) and Ozzy blowing that harmonica live blew me away!
Black Sabbath will keep you busy a long time reacting as they have so many great songs but this is one of there very best. The first of many times seeing them, as soon as the lights went down, the sirens started and the place went nuts. Instant goose bumps. To hear Tony Iommi at his best and the band in debut of something we had never heard before in 1970, try The suite which used to be on side 2, do Bit of Finger, Sleeping Village, Warning. That suite of music is unreal and some of the most furious blues - metal lead guitar you will ever hear. Enjoy! 🎸
I don't often comment on videos but I think it's worth saying that what makes you two stand out amongst the crowd is how down to earth you both come across as. And your reactions are natural, you're not just reacting for the sake of it, you're both genuine. So I really wish the best for the both of you :)
Good ear, little brother ! Bill Ward is ONE OF THE TOP FOUR 4 Rock Drummers, ever!! The BEST OF THE BEST are Bill Ward, John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Keith Moon (The Who), and Neal Peart of Rush. Yes the G O A T s of Rock-n-Roll.
After this, watch the doing this live in the 70's. The drummer is a beast and you have to see them to get the full experience. They are unmatched in this particular live performance. Cheers from Canada
If no one has informed you the guitarist Tony Iommi lost two of his finger tips when a press came down and he pulled his hand back, he was going to quit his job then that happened. So he thought he would never play again a friend brought over an album of this one guitarist who only had two fingers and Iommi figured if he could do it so could he. So he took a plastic bottle and heated the plastic and made tips and then he had to come up with a way to help him grip the strings so he put a piece of leather on the plastic so he could bend the strings up or down. This man has inspired so many of us he is known by many names The Icon, The Legend, The Riff Master, The Master of the Riff and The Godfather of Heavy Metal. Once you have listen to his early stuff and then compare it to his later work you will understand why he is loved by his fans.
If you really want to see a song with insane drumming, I highly recommend the live performance of Anesthetize by Porcupine Tree. The whole song is absolutely insane.
To give u the info on Black Sabbath... the band defined the 'heavy' rock genre after Led Zeppelin debuted in 1969. Sabbath debuted in 1970 and stormed the world by 1971. Black Sabbath was Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass) & Bill Ward (drums)... 'Warpigs' was the original title of their 2nd album in 1970, but the anti-war theme of the song during the Vietnam war prompted their record label to change the title to 'Paranoid' (which was the big single from the album) Guitarist Tony Iommi was left-handed, and he lost the tips of his 2 fingers in a factory mishap, so to play guitar again, he made plastic tips to play chords, and used lighter banjo strings on his guitar... that gave him a signature sound that was unique... an ominous, heavy tone that define Black Sabbath's sound. By 1969, the band was inspired by early Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, started to write their own music, attempting to scare everyone by singing about doom and dark aspects of life. Their 1970 debut album 'Black Sabbath' was a shock to the music scene and was a huge success... as was 2nd album 'Paranoid' the same year. Black Sabbath continued to record, tour and push boundaries musically w/ 5 platinum-selling records... In 1976, Sabbath went in a different direction that singer Ozzy Osbourne wasn't happy with. By 1978, drugs, alcohol and dysfunction derailed Black Sabbath, and Ozzy was fired in 1979... he would pursue a successful solo career in 1980. Tony Iommi kept Sabbath going "post-Ozzy" w/ singer Ronnie James Dio in 1980 and recorded the 'Heaven & Hell' album, which brought success back to Black Sabbath. However, drummer Bill Ward left the band cos he didn't like playing w/ Dio... Then, Ronnie Dio left Sabbath in 1982 after 2 albums to form his own band Dio in 1983. Black Sabbath recorded 1 album 'Born again' in 1983 w/ Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan, but the band split in 1984. Tony Iommi opted to bring Black Sabbath back in 1986 w/ no original members, but was struggling by 1991. Ronnie James Dio & Geezer Butler returned to Black Sabbath briefly in 1992 for the 'Dehumanizer' album. Iommi kept recording new Sabbath albums until 1995. Finally, the original Sabbath reunited in 1997... at first w/ just Ozzy, Tony & Geezer... but soon got Bill Ward back as well, and began touring again. In 2013, Black Sabbath released the '13' album (Bill Ward declined to participate) and Sabbath toured until their 'farewell' tour in 2016 and ended their career in 2017.
First Heavy Metal Band, even before the word "Heavy Metal" or the genre of music was a classification. Early 1970s. Wow! Talk about being ahead of your time.
In the last 50 years, I have heard War Pigs more times than any other song. The whole album is my all-time favorite. The influence Black Sabbath had on music cannot be overstated.
You guys will never know how hard this hit in 1970 . There was no metal yet . This was so much heavier than Zep or Purple . Their lyrics were not about love or sex but about war and darker stuff like witches and black masses. Anti war songs were usually friendly folky tunes. Not like this : angry and dark and loud . There had been others but Sabbath were the first who sold massive amounts of albums . So sad you will never know how it was when we were your age. Cold war was threatening and Vietnam was on TV every single day . In Holland people reacted rather anti American. It was a hectic time. We really were afraid that soon ww3 would break out . The end of Hippie days was there , scary times approaching.
Black Sabbath is a great group with a mix of many styles. You should check out the song "Hand of Doom" another great song. The guitar player and bass players riffs along with Bill Wards drumming are great. This band started in the late 70s so when you put the music you just heard with war pigs in that time frame they are crazy good with the instrumentation and playing. Its hard to believe this music was created that long ago but still holds up to today for this syle.
So many great Sabbath songs guys. "Hand of Doom", "Killing Yourself To Live", "Symptom of the Universe", "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", "Sweet Leaf", "Children of the Grave", "Fairies Wear Boots", "N.I.B", "Black Sabbath", "Supernaut", "Tomorrow's Dream", Snowblind", "After Forever", "Lord of this World". The list goes on and on. And those are just a handful from the classic line up days of the 70's Sabbath era. So many more too. Their entire first six albums from the early to mid 70's are flawless (in my opinion). They did some killer stuff in the "Heaven and Hell" days when Ronnie James Dio took over on vocals from Ozzy too.
Sabbath were really good at putting the drums out front, not hiding in the mix. Bill "Thunder" Ward is one of the top three heavy hitters of that era, alongside Keith Moon and John Henry Bonham. Ward's style displayed his ability to have different drum runs every time around, not the standard same ole same ole.
Enjoy some early Ozzy before he did his own thing. Sabbath is considered the Grandfather of Heavy Metal. Enjoy and keep up the reactions, you guys are honest with them so I like them.
Yo viví esa época en la cd. De México se escuchaban mucho Beatles,rolling, doors y Creedence pero llega Blak Sabbath con ésta música demoledora de muchs calidad y da un giro q perdura hasta nuestros dias
Bill ward on drums , absolute beast. Watch the live in Paris 1970, he kills that kit..👌🏼
He has no mercy on his drums in Paris
RIP. Those drums didn't stand a chance. Ol' Bill just lost his shit on that little drum kit.

Black Sabbath are widely regarded as the originators of metal. They've got so many great songs, N.I.B. would be a good one to check out next.
Sabbath and Iron Butterfly. People today sleep on them,but their 2nd album,released in 1968,is for sure a metal blueprint.
DEEP PURPLE was slightly before them

This is my favorite Black Sabbath song, shits raw!
Their most popular tracks are “Paranoid” and “Iron Man”
SAME!
I'd say they get the most radio play. But for true fans of sabbath they have a dozen songs better then those.
@@josephamoraz7990 yup. Been a fan for 27 years and i can name at least 10 off of the top of my head. lol
And thus the Metal was born and world smiled, for they knew it was good. Now...to witness the real power of this band..watch the live video of this song from Paris...it is godlike
I would recommend listening to the first album, that is where Metal was born.
@@wadesivertsen8453 dude, im 52... heard the first album when I was 10, own every album and have shit loads of stories..
"into the void" is their most underrated, and arguably best track.
Thats my favorite one
I just finished learning that on guitar completely. I love it even more now
Arguments abound as to their best song. I would say there are a good 20 songs that could be thrown in that mix.
@@Milius47 there arent 20, or even 3, that could be their most UNDERRATED, which is more the point. "into the void" is less known than their other best songs.
There are 50 or so songs on the first six albums that are all bangers.

Need to check out the 1970 live in Paris version of this song. Then you will get to see Bill Ward commit murder on those drums!
This for sure!
Bill hits them like they owe him money.
Yes to this suggestion!!!
Sabbath and Floyd, can't go wrong. It's been a great 50 year ride, enjoy.

You have to see the live version in Paris. crazy drumming by Bill
If you like drums, you gotta do Hand of Doom by Black Sabbath.

Listen to Geezer on that bass. Always kickin' ass. Live in Paris 1970 is awesome. Ward beats the drums to shreds. Cool vid also.
This is music you just dont hear, you actually feel it. Awesome reaction.
Crazy im 34 and listen to all the goods of this era my whole life because of my presents RIP brings me back.

Finally, the original Sabbath reunited in 1997... at first w/ just Ozzy, Tony & Geezer... but soon got Bill Ward back as well, and began touring again.
In 2013, Black Sabbath released the '13' album (Bill Ward declined to participate) and Sabbath toured until their 'farewell' tour in 2016 and ended their career in 2017.
There is a fan made video that is fire.
One word...OZZY. Thanks for the reaction.
First Heavy Metal Band, even before the word "Heavy Metal" or the genre of music was a classification. Early 1970s.
Wow! Talk about being ahead of your time.
Two songs that are rare reactions for Sabbath.... The Writ & Megalomania. And the two best, in my opinion. Thank you.
Don't forget 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, and "Snow Blind "
In the last 50 years, I have heard War Pigs more times than any other song. The whole album is my all-time favorite. The influence Black Sabbath had on music cannot be overstated.
Ozzfest alone put several bands on the map.
Need to show the video of BLACK SABBATH 1970 IN PARIS. PLEASE. MUCH LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 💕BRANDI MODRAK.
These musicians you like are mega legends of music.
One of the greatest songs ever put to record total brilliance from start to finish
Bill Ward drummer. SAw live in 1978 in Houston texas
First and heaviest metal band in history. When you take into account the other music out in 1970,they were the only ones doing this.
This song and Bob Dylan's "Masters of War". Two of the finest anti-war songs you'll ever hear. Great reaction guys !
Add to the list, War Child…the Zombies.
And Machine Gun by Hendrix
Listen to Echoes by Pink Floyd. Is gonna blow your minds.
You guys will never know how hard this hit in 1970 . There was no metal yet . This was so much heavier than Zep or Purple . Their lyrics were not about love or sex but about war and darker stuff like witches and black masses. Anti war songs were usually friendly folky tunes. Not like this : angry and dark and loud . There had been others but Sabbath were the first who sold massive amounts of albums . So sad you will never know how it was when we were your age. Cold war was threatening and Vietnam was on TV every single day . In Holland people reacted rather anti American. It was a hectic time. We really were afraid that soon ww3 would break out . The end of Hippie days was there , scary times approaching.
siren sounds similar to lunch time siren to knock off work for an hour
Black Sabbath is a great group with a mix of many styles. You should check out the song "Hand of Doom" another great song. The guitar player and bass players riffs along with Bill Wards drumming are great. This band started in the late 70s so when you put the music you just heard with war pigs in that time frame they are crazy good with the instrumentation and playing. Its hard to believe this music was created that long ago but still holds up to today for this syle.
I like their song Fairy's wear boots.
So many great Sabbath songs guys. "Hand of Doom", "Killing Yourself To Live", "Symptom of the Universe", "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", "Sweet Leaf", "Children of the Grave", "Fairies Wear Boots", "N.I.B", "Black Sabbath", "Supernaut", "Tomorrow's Dream", Snowblind", "After Forever", "Lord of this World". The list goes on and on. And those are just a handful from the classic line up days of the 70's Sabbath era. So many more too. Their entire first six albums from the early to mid 70's are flawless (in my opinion). They did some killer stuff in the "Heaven and Hell" days when Ronnie James Dio took over on vocals from Ozzy too.
Check out "Snowblind" 😉
And yes these are the guys who invented "Metal" 😂
Snowblind doesn’t get the love it deserves that song SLAPS. Favorite Sabbath song hands down.
check out all Sabbath
Sabbath were really good at putting the drums out front, not hiding in the mix. Bill "Thunder" Ward is one of the top three heavy hitters of that era, alongside Keith Moon and John Henry Bonham. Ward's style displayed his ability to have different drum runs every time around, not the standard same ole same ole.
Enjoy some early Ozzy before he did his own thing. Sabbath is considered the Grandfather of Heavy Metal. Enjoy and keep up the reactions, you guys are honest with them so I like them.
yoooo i grew up with this shit lmaooo, such a badass song, great reaction yall!
"Symptom of the Universe," "Snow Blind," "Sweet Leaf" "The Wizard" and "Fairies Wear Boots."
Woah. Classic. Classic!
Yo viví esa época en la cd. De México se escuchaban mucho Beatles,rolling, doors y Creedence pero llega Blak Sabbath con ésta música demoledora de muchs calidad y da un giro q perdura hasta nuestros dias
Nice reaction BLACK SABBATH - SWEET LEAF
Check out the live in Paris 1970 to see Bill Ward go OFF on the drums!
Man you guys gotta do more Sabbath. This shit’s as real as it gets. Subscribing now.
Sabbath = 🐐
*GODFATHERS OF HEAVY METAL!* 🤘
