I absolutely love watching you two brothers react to Blues Rock, Rock, Heavy Rock, Heavy Metal. You're understanding and opinions are always on point. Y'all feel it!
Nobody can write a love song as heavy as Black Sabbath. And Rick Wakeman (virtuoso keyboardist for the band Yes) was asked to lend his talents to this song.
I’ve said this Prior, but in Ozzy ‘s book he said they wanted to be a jazz band but their van wasn’t big enough for the instruments. You can hear the jazz influences often in their music!!
Black Sabbath were so much more than just heavy metal, as you’re discovering. This album is especially experimental and full of surprises. Great reaction, thanks!
For me in this song the star is Geezer, you have to pay attention a little more in the bass, but after all they are all killing it, love your reactions! Cheers from argentina
How awesome was that! Sabbath at the peak of their musical prowess, that album, like the previous 4, is an all time classic. More to come, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Back then, Black Sabbath was like an animal all of their own. A good comparison, I would say, would be like Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down became in that timeframe; they were unicorns. They didn't sound like The Who, they didn't sound like Led Zeppelin, and they didn't sound like _anyone_ during that time in our history of music. They were sort of like David Bowie in that they were so different that some people didn't know how to understand how great they were at that time. My college Rock & Jazz teacher told us that the test of great musicians came from how they lasted through time. And we can see that with Sabbath and guys like David Bowie, in that they were misunderstood during real time, and later, people-at least the people who are smart enough to notice-were great musicians. Black Sabbath has so many blues influences that I'm amazed to this day that more people don't see it. But at least you guys have seen it and are pointing it out. I met Bill Ward once. He walked into a restaurant when I sat at the bar... his daughter worked there. He came into the place once a week, the bartender told me. And on that day a week later, I wore my Black Sabbath T-shirt and waited for him to come into the place. And as I drank my beer, the bartender said, "Hey, there he is," and I swirled my barstool around, noticed he was with his wife, and threw up the horns 🤘, and he nodded my direction, and gave me back the 🤘, and that's all we said... it was one of the coolest moments of my life.
You guys always make me smile. Shout out to other life-long Sabbath fans who have caught on to these guys. My favorite reactors when it comes to Black Sabbath, and I've pretty much seen them all.
Had the first album a week after it came out for the album cover, that cover haunts to this very day along with the music within. Sabbath reactions are almost always positive, music that stands the test of time. 🎸
Live versions of this classic usually morphed into 3-part jams that incorporated other Sabbath tracks. But this studio version stands alone. Great stuff.
Rock on brother, I'm 69 and the first album I bought in 1970 was Black Sabbath 1, a week or so after it showed up in the record store and I had to have that album cover, you knew it would be intense. What a freaking understatement that was! Life altering and changed what we all thought music could be. The Mozart of Metal!
@@vicprovost2561 💯 percent agree! I’m in my late 40s and I remember my dad pulling out the paranoid album when I was about five years old and putting it on and I was absolutely hooked on the Sabbath from then on and this is an amazing album as well! They are the Godfather‘s of heavy-metal! 🤟🏼
Rick Wakeman from Yes on synth and piano. Supposedly Wakeman was next door doing Tales from Topographic Oceans and was totally fed up w/ the pretentiousness of that album, wanted to hang out, drink some beers, and play with some down to earth rocker folks (the Sab boys from Birmingham). Nice extra sizzle on top of a great song.
Sabbath can do it anyway you want it. Masters of their craft! Too busy getting high and rockin out to pay attention in school. Don't think I'd change a thing.
Rick was brought in to play on the song as his band Yes was recording in the neighbour studio. Another fun fact is, that Bonzo (Zep and Sabbath were close friends) wanted to play the drum part on this one :D
One of my favorite Sabbath tunes!!! PURE 🔥 Love the happy and reckless intro with the sudden change to that slowed down funk groove with Rick Wakeman from YES on keys. Then the bonus funky jam with extended vamping till it just falls apart at the end. One of (if not THE) only straightforward love songs from the Sabbath here, the kinda song that’ll get rocker couples stopping to shoot eyes at each other. “Hold up, girl.. c’mere let me look at you a minute..” 😜
My favorite Sabbath Album... I stole the cassette from my step dad... listened to it till it worn down so badly... such a huge influence of in my life... I was curious because of the cover hahaha... but after really hearing the music and the lyrics ... uffff Sabbath is just pure energy...
You could never take the Birmingham out of Black Sabbath - literally the middle of England, it was surrounded by every sound in the country. A British/Irish guitar sound opens the track. Might have been one of his Laney amps, but Tony gets a Vox 30 sound for a bouncy riff that could have been a Yardbirds player, Rory Gallagher, Brian May, Thin Lizzy w/Gary Moore .. what a sound.
Spring of 95 bought the cassette, at 16 years of age. I didnt have a full Sabbath album until then but I ve heard a lot of their hits through Ozzys Speak of thw devil. I bought it only because I didn't know any song of the album, and until today is my favourite album of theirs.
Consider doing the live version of “killing yourself to live” at California Jam…amazing performance and Tony Iommi with a clean shave is a rare sight 😂
Sincere thanks guys! I was a huge fan of Sabbath with Ozzy from 15-25, then got into Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio. Since you started tracking all the Ozzy records, I’m waaay back into them! Thanks guys! You are bring back the lost days of my youth with this original Sabbath material. Laa and Chee rule the reaction videos!
I told you guys!!! Everybody was putting this album down and you guys wouldn't like it!!! Haha!!! I told you!!!! More great ones before this album is through!!! Thanks guys for proving me right!!! I love Sabbath, and definately one of my favorite albums.
GREAT reaction gents!! I've been waiting for this - and you didn't disappoint. This one places in my top 5 Sabbath tunes (N.I.B. being #1)! It has such a groove to it, impossible not to get sucked in! Everyone was firing on all cylinders here. I love that psychedelic middle 8 section with the keys - so un-Sabbath like, but it works so well! It's unfortunate that this track isn't more well known - cause it's a banger in all respects! Cheers.
This bluesy paean to Geezer’s then-girlfriend had its lyrical origins in Ozzy repeating porno dialogue, to his bandmate’s amusement. Rick Wakeman charged Sabbath a ‘fee’ of two pints of Director’s bitter for his incandescent piano playing. - Loudersound
Was waiting for this!! Y'all gotta get back to some Blue Oyster Cult, too. "Harvester of Eyes", "Hot Rails To Hell", "Flaming Telepaths" and "Subhuman" are rockin' tracks.
Great reaction gentleman. This is the reason why Black Sabbath is one of the 🐐. The ability to infuse there love for Jazz into rock is remarkable. This is one of my favorite albums from the great Sabbath machine. Great bands play who they are. Sabbath Zeppelin Beatles Pink Floyd Stones The Who. They play what their heart is they play all of there influences that they grew up with. Whether it’s Jazz Blues Rock they play with all of there heart and soul. Love what you guys are doing keep up the phenomenal work La and Che. Black Pumas it’s been a while since I requested it a real long time. I know you are very busy. I maybe be wrong? , but I really think you will like this newer band.

Airplay beats+Black sabbath =Good times
totally agree, I look forward to it especially when I know it's a song I love.
Seriously only one of the truly honest and good things in the whole world right now.
Nobody can write a love song as heavy as Black Sabbath. And Rick Wakeman (virtuoso keyboardist for the band Yes) was asked to lend his talents to this song.
Sorry Guys, it’s Rick Wakeman …
@Humb7757 sorry my mistake
Ozzy's voice is unmistakable. He has the most unusual range with a trippy tone. Badass! The musicianship of Black Sabbath was incredible.
One of the greatest bands of all time!!Seen them in concert on my 13th birthday in 1977 and they could put on one hell of a show.
You can’t beat reactors who know their shit. Thanks guys, you make me feel like I’m listening to these songs fresh all over again.
Watching them react makes me re-appreciate the music I grew up on. Thank you, two!
Sappy bubble gum lyrics on top of a badass tune with many winding turns. And Rick Wakeman on keyboards to take it to another level.
The Ward is my Shepherd! 🤘
Not one bad song on this album! For me, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath should be up there with the All-Time classic albums in Rock History.
For me, their first 6 albums should be in the Smithsonian as the pinnacle of a music genre, classic heavy metal. No one did it better.
They topped themselves on this album. Then they somehow managed to come up with Sabotage? 'Nuff said.
I’ve said this Prior, but in Ozzy ‘s book he said they wanted to be a jazz band but their van wasn’t big enough for the instruments. You can hear the jazz influences often in their music!!
Thankfully fate intervened and we have all these amazing albums. 🏄♂️
You’re riding the Sabbath peak and that peak is through the stratosphere!
What I love about you guys is not only your intelligence but also your enthusiasm and love of the music.
Black Sabbath were so much more than just heavy metal, as you’re discovering. This album is especially experimental and full of surprises. Great reaction, thanks!
Finally, a love song
Perfect song by the masters of Metal. Love it.
(I had this on 8 Track:))
Side two superb ending with Spiral Architect
I will always love this one
For me in this song the star is Geezer, you have to pay attention a little more in the bass, but after all they are all killing it, love your reactions! Cheers from argentina
This kind of music just makes me feel good and gives me hope 🤘
My favorite tune off my favorites Sabbath album. Good job.
The jam with Rick Wakeman is as good as it gets!
I was looking to see if anyone mentioned it. Wakeman loves the tune. I read some interview with him.
Loving these Sabbath reactions 🤘
What a Band!!!!!!
How awesome was that! Sabbath at the peak of their musical prowess, that album, like the previous 4, is an all time classic. More to come, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
4 players that fit together perfectiy ward shamefully underated
Still some more incredible songs to go. This album is so fire.

Thanks, guys. This whole album is tops.
Bought the vinyl, Bought the cd,and now I listen to you guys, playing it on RUclips.
Beautiful, Thanks verry much. 👍😁
Most people call out War Pigs or Paranoid or N.I.B. or Ironman but THIS (and THE WRIT) are MY fave Sabbath tracks.
Such a brilliant album. Blown away as a young land..🕜💨
You can't say I didn't warn you. 😊
Got that swagger boy
SPOT ON! How weird, cause that’s the EXACT word I’ve always used to describe this tune! 😂
Nice but next, killing yourself to live is my 2nd fav on album after sabbath bloody sabbath!!!
My favorite Sabbath song!!
Some of Ozzy's best vocals are on this record and the next one! He really seemed to be "IN the zone" during the mid 70s..
You guys always make me smile. Shout out to other life-long Sabbath fans who have caught on to these guys. My favorite reactors when it comes to Black Sabbath, and I've pretty much seen them all.
Had the first album a week after it came out for the album cover, that cover haunts to this very day along with the music within. Sabbath reactions are almost always positive, music that stands the test of time. 🎸
Just another great reaction to another great song from another great album from the greatest band of all time
The whole song is great but that jam at the end is one of the greatest things ever recorded.
There it is!
Great tune. Wore it out!
Guy's what are you doing to me I've just in the last 20 min had an eargasm Sabbath & Thin Lizzy on the same day, it doesn't get any better than that.
Speechless
Heavy metal at its finest
Live versions of this classic usually morphed into 3-part jams that incorporated other Sabbath tracks. But this studio version stands alone. Great stuff.
What a song!!
Im one of those that bought this album and enjoyed some weed with it. But to be honest. I bought a lot of their albums and smoked.
Fluff to chaos. Bill got the swing. Ozzy and Thelma. Rick wakeman on keys. Banger
There will never be music like this made again. Talk about being able to get into the music.
60s and 70s , THE GREATEST EVER, IM 70 AND THANK G0D I HAVE AII THAT GREAT MUSIC T0 GET ME THR0UGH MANY T0UGH DAYS!!!!
Rock on brother, I'm 69 and the first album I bought in 1970 was Black Sabbath 1, a week or so after it showed up in the record store and I had to have that album cover, you knew it would be intense.

@@robertlavorna2968 True!
thanks you two for keeping on..
Next one is going to knock you out. One of their best. Top 3 for sure. Lyrics top 3 also.
Swing beat... Awesome
Rick Wakeman from Yes on synth and piano.

Symptom of the Universe PLEEEEEASE....
Sabbath can do it anyway you want it. Masters of their craft! Too busy getting high and rockin out to pay attention in school. Don't think I'd change a thing.
More proof why Bill Ward is my favourite Drummer of all time ever. Ever with the fact that he says he’s not a Drummer.
Awesome review guys Rick Wakeman from yes was playing keyboards
A SABBATH I0VE S0NG, I0I ITS GREAT WHEN I HEAR Y0U TAIK 0F THEIR VERSITiIiTY AND 0VERAII TAENT
great review!, thanks. this one definitely goes in the Sab top 5. That is Rick Wakeman on the keyboard, from Yes.
1st!.....Another Sabbath nailer! Nice AP! ...☠️☘️
Love this , thanks guys.
I have several Black Sabbath albums on vinyl and I consider this one to be their best along with Paranoid
Rick was brought in to play on the song as his band Yes was recording in the neighbour studio. Another fun fact is, that Bonzo (Zep and Sabbath were close friends) wanted to play the drum part on this one :D
Keep them coming
One of my favorite Sabbath tunes!!!
PURE 🔥

“Hold up, girl.. c’mere let me look at you a minute..” 😜
Nobody can switch it up like Sabbath
Opeth would like a word…
Peak Sab4. This excellence continues through Sabotage.
There you go the most feel good sabbath song ever
You can’t miss that ending groove, it’s slamming you right over the head!
IMO the most upbeat song by them. And it really works!
My favorite Sabbath Album... I stole the cassette from my step dad... listened to it till it worn down so badly... such a huge influence of in my life... I was curious because of the cover hahaha... but after really hearing the music and the lyrics ... uffff Sabbath is just pure energy...

A lot of drummers that came out in the 60’s. came from a Jazz background.
I SAID TO MYSELF, THEY'RE GONNA PICK UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF ON BLOODY ON MONDAY, SOMEHOW I KNEWWWWW IT LAH & CHE!👍😊FIRE AFTER FLUFF HUH GUYS? LOL💯
Fire!!!
YEESSSSS MORE SABBATH Laa and Chee!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
funky jazz blues hard rock =)
Thanks!
Yea great song for sure ..I have been listening to this album on a factory made cassette that sounds great..
Spring of 95 bought the cassette, at 16 years of age. I didnt have a full Sabbath album until then but I ve heard a lot of their hits through Ozzys Speak of thw devil. I bought it only because I didn't know any song of the album, and until today is my favourite album of theirs.

I need more floyd.. cheers guys reaction request, pink floyd, live pulse show ,song Sorrow video remastered, cheers 😂❤
I hope you guys to react to the entire Black Sabbath discography, including the albuns without Ozzy or Dio on vocals.
Greatness. Cant wait for the reactions to the Dio, Gillan and Martin eras of the band.
Best Sabbath Album
Sincere thanks guys! I was a huge fan of Sabbath with Ozzy from 15-25, then got into Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio. Since you started tracking all the Ozzy records, I’m waaay back into them!

Who would put this album down? It’s possibly their best…
@@chriscoote2690 That is what I was saying! It is one of their best albums!
Rick Wakeman was drinking buddies with Sabbath and I love his addition of the keys into any Sabbath tune but particularly this one!
Great reaction guys! I love that you're doing my favorite Sabbath album, keep it going! 🤘👍
GREAT reaction gents!! I've been waiting for this - and you didn't disappoint.

Wow, that really reminded me of Deep Purple once the drums kicked in.
Please please please Paul Hardcastle..19. Still revelant today

I saw them live 17 times MSG was the bomb
Wakeman did it for the beer, legend.
Was waiting for this!! Y'all gotta get back to some Blue Oyster Cult, too. "Harvester of Eyes", "Hot Rails To Hell", "Flaming Telepaths" and "Subhuman" are rockin' tracks.
Even more so the live versions from "On Your Feet or On Your Knees."

We did the Black Puma. Just hasn’t been edited yet. Did you see the Moby **** reaction?
@@AirplayBeats yes sir it was very good. What did you really think of it?
@@membysteph64 it was cool. We reacted to a live Moby a long time ago so we knew what to expect already.
So many different tempo's and styles all in one song. They do it all the time, why? because they are Black Sabbath...
