Just thought I'd point out that your guy's thumbnail is the cover art for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Sweet Leaf is from Master of Reality, one of the first albums I ever owned. Used to blast this song all the time back in the day, before I even knew what the 'leaf' was, lol
That's the sound coming from my sons room every morning and last thing @ night. Him choking down a few bong hits. I always laugh 😄 😁 because he coughs until he almost pukes!! .. he's still a novice.
Yeah this track is an absolute classic, it's considered the first ever stoner metal song and is basically credited with starting the entire stoner metal/rock sub-genre. If you guys haven't checked it out already, ya'll need to hear either Hand Of Doom or Snowblind. Both are killer tracks and absolute classics as well. Keep it up ya'll
Absolutely- these three tracks are responsible for stoner/doom/sludge, along with Hole in the Sky. Sabbath aren't just responsible for heavy metal but also at least two sub-genres as well.
Hi there guys. do enjoy your reactions. With regards to Sabbath. I would go with any of Into The Void, Symptom of The Universe or Supernaut. All amazing and out there Sabbath tunes. USA also had an early hard rock/proto metal band called The Blue Cheer. Try their version of Summertime Blues. For really early noisy guitar music, (pre sabbath), The Witch by The Sonics (early punk). For really great 80s thrash go with Tribal Convictions by Voivod. For brilliant US punk listen to Hollywood Babylon by The Misfits or Garbage Man by The Cramps. I'm sure you've done Ministry, so try I Will Refuse by Pailhead. Can't go wrong with any of the above. Enjoy
The members of sabbath were from a gritty, economically depressed industrial city in England. They did not feel in touch with the whole summer of love hippie, peace and love movement of the 60’s. They decided to make “scary” music instead. I for one am glad they went their own way.
Tony Iommi didn't invent distortion, or heavy riffs, but was the pioneer of heavy metal. His riffs came to define heavy metal. He injured his fingers in an industrial accident, and had plastic finger tips made for his left hand. Because of this, he down-tuned the guitar so the strings would be easier to play. It also made riffs that deeper and darker sounding, which was perfect for their sound.
What a way to start the week. Thanks guys. I rarely comment (older dude here)but just wanted to say I love chilling with you early in the morning. Makes getting up a little easier. Wish I could smoke one with you guys. Peace out be safe
Bill Ward on Drums and Geezer Butler on Bass are on of the most underrated rhythm sections in Rock....both are effin' monsters and are simply overlooked by many because of Ozzy's iconic vocals and Iomi's unique sound. Sabbath is the Godfather of Metal.
"THEY HAVE LEGENDARY RIFFS" Yessir BH6, they did indeed. SO legendary in fact, that the opening Riff to this tune got swiped by the Red Hot Chili Peppers to use at the end of "Give It Away". Good stuff. If you're going to steal Steal good stuff.
I've had the pleasure of seeing Sabbath play live a few times. Watching Tony Iommi play these iconic riffs is one of the best things I've ever seen Oh and suggestion- Ozzy - Killer of Giants
According to Geezer Butler (Bass Player) he was looking at a pack of cigarettes and the pack said 'The Sweetest of Leaf". Thats how the song came ot be. Everyone says weed but that is according to Black Sabbath's Bass Player
Black Sabbath is the first metal band. Oddly enough it was due to an accident that he down tuned his guitar. He worked in a factory and had the tips of 2 of his fingers on his fret hand chopped off. He made prosthetic fingertips and tuned his guitar differently to make playing easier and in the process created heavy metal.
No way, literally just listened to Masters of Reality thinking if people react to this. Good job guys! Please give Mad Season - Wake up a react. Layne stayley on vocals and a supergeoup made up from screaming trees, pearl jam and alice in chains
The album that this came from, Master of Reality, left me completely awestruck, summer between 8th and 9th grade, after my older brother brought it home when he came back from Navy boot camp. It sounded so ponderous and heavy that I could feel it in my bones, it was simply nothing at all like the am radio pop music that was playing all around me that summer. I still throw the album on at least once a year, and just let the experience wash over me all over again.
The original Coca Cola had cocaine in it, hence the name of the soda. It was drank for medicinal use until the effects of it were found out. Then the cocaine was removed from the recipe.
Great song but I think you have the wrong album on your thumbnail. On a different note I feel that I have to say that I started watching music reaction videos on RUclips around a year ago and it astounded me that young adults (20-30’s) did not know these songs that I have known and grew up with. Simply because they are so iconic. I’m now at a point where I appreciate them sooo much more and I’m extremely grateful to have had them influence my life all these years. I also want to sincerely thank people like you two who willingly opened your minds and explored this kind of music and others with an open mind and heart. I am confident in saying that I feel like you two and other reactors like you have benefited far beyond what you could have imagined by doing so. Thank you, guys for restoring a big piece of my faith in the human kind. ❤️
Hello from Chicago 👁. I have seen Black Sabbath 5 times. I was blessed to see there Final tour in 2016. I work for a ticket broker and had VIP meet and greet. Got to sit in his dressing room with 10 people and OZZY. We talked to him for 45 minutes. Coolest Rock Legend I have ever met! Super nice and funny. Have stories I can't repeat, lol. And as we we leaving his dressing room we were greeted by Sharon. A night I will Never Forget. Love you channel guys.
Part of the reason for Tony's guitar tone is he down tuned his guitar so he could bend the strings more easily because he chopped his finger tip off on a shear a day before starting Sabbath. Thus inadvertently inventing the metal 🤘🤘
Back in the early 70's when Led Zepplin was getting air time on the Radio, Black Sabbath would not until the early 80's . Sabbath however had more of an underground following during the 70's & earned its title as the grandfather of metal though some would disagree. Story has it that the band worked in construction in between gigs. A freak accident occurred one day when a piece of sheet metal fell & sliced off the finger tips of Tony Iommi . This forced him to wear finger tip prosthetics where he had to downtune the guitar to compensate.. This brought foward the beginning of the power riffs that Sabbath is known for.. Around that time Ozzy got hold of the black book & after reading it one night had an spirit aberition appear in his bedroom . Scared shytless he ran over to Geezers place where Geezer put to lyrics Ozzys experience-..."Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" became the finished product. Some say this was the flesh offering that brought to life a new art form called Heavy Metal....The Bands name was then changed to......"Black Sabbath"!..........."What is this that stands before me???? ....Spirit in black.".......🤘
Awesome reaction guys! Drummer Bill Ward is one of the most underrated drummers of this era. Thanks for showing him some love. Keep it up guys. And I’m going to request again and again and again, do a reaction to shotgun blues by Volbeat. Thanks guys
Now you’re talking! Black Sabbath! I have suggestions of songs by them if you guys want to check out. Black Sabbath N.I.B. Changes Fairies Wear Boots Paranoid Iron Man Into the Void Lord of This World Never Say Die Symptom of the Universe After Forever Sabbath, Bloody, Sabbath Psycho Man Selling My Soul God is Dead? That’s just off the top of my head. Like I say, no matter what you choose to jam out to I will be looking forward to seeing your reaction. Peace!
I saw the original lineup on their 1st reunion at Ozzfest '99 at The Gorge in WA. They were epic as well as most of the festival line up including Slayer, Primus, Deftones etc.
Saw the original line up reunion a couple of times myself with a shedload of really famous bands too lol....Doesnt matter.....did you enjoy their music?
Great reaction. Here are a couple of comments. When you say "he said", it is probably Butler the Bass player who wrote most, if not all, the lyrics. Weed has been illegal mainly because it can be grown anywhere unlike tobacco or coffee. If corporations could have gotten a patent on it, it would have been legal years ago just like if the oil companies could have patented the Sun, we would have solar energy everywhere. The name Black Sabbath came from a movie title. I saw them twice in the early 70's while in college and they blew me away. I am so blessed to have been a youth during the Golden Age of Rock. One more thing. I think Ward is in my top 3 of greatest drummers of all time.
The bass player, geezer butler, tells the story of the origin of this song. Geezer ozzy and tony iommi were sitting at a kitchen table. Tony and geezer had their guitars and were working on some riffs when ozzy, who was siitting quietly rolling a big fat joint, began to sing to it. Geezer frantically started writing down what ozzy was saying, and the lyrics to this song were born.
There were other bands that had 1-2 songs heavier, but none came close to black sabbath, they are the ones that kicked the bolder down the hill. To me black sabbath is the ultimate Metal band, everyne genre out there can be heard in the Black Sabbath discography, Toni Iommy to this day insists that black sabbath is a blues band, I call BS. P.S. the distinctive sound of Iommis riffs comes from a work accident he had while working in a steel factory that caused him to loose parts of his fingertips (the accident is real but I'm not so sure that it actually affected his playing style)
They released a new album and reunion in 2017. It was their third farewell tour 🤣 but without Bill Ward the drummer. I was lucky enough to see the Glasgow show which was their 3rd from final show. Ozzy is great but Tony Iommi is the MVP and only one to be there for every Sabbath album. Should check out a song when Dio was in Sabbath.
We used to smoke out playing this album! Not sure how they make cocaine but I know opium is made from poppy seeds ( which of course is natural ) and it's still illegal! My favorites by Black Sabbath are this one, Paranoid, War Pigs, and Iron Man!
Awesome stuff! I'm *SURE* I remember the vid you mention because I remember you talking about the house on the cover for Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath. I ended up trying to find out who the person was on there because of your comments about it!!! Anyway... Love that you are doing more Sabbath videos. For more mental stuff with Bill Ward going off, check out "Black Sabbath War Pigs live 1970" (that's literally the title on youtube!). He used to have an oxygen bottle behind the stage for in between songs as he would go so damn hard!!! Also - Cocoa and Coca are VERY different species. Coffee is different too...
you guys must react to Gojira #1 Amazonia #2 Global Warming #3 In the forest This is some of their soft songs, if you guys react and like these songs, I'll give you 3 of their heaviest songs
The name Sweet Leaf comes from an Irish brand of cigarettes, which Geezer brought back to England from a holiday, but of course it's the birth of stoner metal. Ozzy and Geezer used to be in a band called Rare Breed before Sabbath, but I don't think they recorded anything. Bill and Tony used to be in Mythology. Ice-T samples Sabs songs "Black Sabbath" on his songs "Shut Up, Be Happy" and "Midnight", and "War Pigs" on "Rhyme Pays". He guests on a Sabbath song too "The Illusion of Power".
if im not mistaken, He was in a band called "Earth" and the band eventully changed there name to Black sabbeth ... but Earth was his first band "I think"
When I was a teenager (the 80's) this was our anthem. Before Rick James wrote 'Mary Jane' Sweet Leaf was the love song to weed! That beginning cough is distinctive! Tony taking too big of a toke in the studio. Forever immortalized. Master of Reality was fkn EPIC!! One of my all-time favorite albums. It's kinda sad that you guys are constantly attributing the lyrics to Ozzy. Geezer (the bass player) was the main songwriter/lyricist during the 70's OG 8 studio albums.
Now watch the live 1970 in Paris of WAR PIGS" the drummer kills it. GRAND FUNK RAILROAD "SINS A GOOD BROTHER" in 69 released 5 months before Sabbath's in 70.
I don’t remember if I was one of those that requested this song but I’m very happy y’all did it. I just got a guitar about 2 weeks ago and this was my first song that I learned to play except for the little gallop near the end but this is a great track
I used to listen to this song thinking it just sounded awesome, it was only after the second time high listening to this song that I realised what oz was saying to me
Black Sabbath was Earth before changing to Black Sabbath, same members. The song Black Sabbath was a nightmare Geezer Butler had, he told Ozzy about it and Ozzy wrote the song.
Friday, April 30, 1982 Venue: Northlands Coliseum Location:Vinny Appice - Black Sabbath drummer 1980 to 1982 and on and off until 1997. Vinny and his older brother Carmine are widely known in a drumming community. Vinny played With Sabbath, Ronnie James Dio, Heaven and Hell, Joel Hoekstra and many others. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Ronnie James Dio was the singer seen them in person at this concert i was 16 it was great
Tony Iommi fucked up his hand by cutting off the tips of two of his fingers at work. After recovering from the accident, he basically invented the power-chord to suite his limited ability of his fret hand. The power-chord is the foundation for almost every single metal song in existence.
In 67 he was in a band called Rare Breed and I believe also had Geezer Butler.... that band didn't last long. In 68 is when Black Sabbath was formed. I was born in 70 and grew up listening to Sabbath as well as Deep Purple.... my 2 favorites as a kid growing up, which was the beginning of my journey into metal. The last album with Ozzy Never Say Die, if I remember correctly, was fired due to Ozzy's excessive alcohol and drug use plus differences in some changes to style and sound of their music.... hence that album was considered the worst Sabbath album. Then Dio stepped in and Sabbath was reborn with Heaven and Hell 🤘😎🤘
Bill Ward was a beast! I used to play this song in a band as a drummer and I never really did it justice I don't think, but it was a lot of fun to play. There are parts in there where it sounds like reckless abandon, but actually, it's brilliant playing. The riff of this song, what it's about, Ozzy doing his thing, makes this one of my all time favorites. Great reaction.
I was once talking to John 5 after a show about how great the main riff is, despite its simplicity. He does a medley of rock riffs in his shows, and that’s been one of them that he’s played. I told him “I can’t play a note on the guitar but I think even I could handle Sweet Leaf” (that riff). He said “I think you could.” Always appreciated his vote of confidence 😊😆🎸 “Weed is from the earth. God put it here for me and you. Take advantage, man. Take advantage” 😮💨💨 Yes the four of them are still with us. Oh btw…. When the Levee Breaks, guys 😉
I had to reply to you when I saw you mentioned John 5. He is an awesome guitar player and I ran across a video of him playing some legendary guitars that are owned by the Hard Rock. Jimi Hendrix's SG Custom, Paul Stanley's Ibanez Iceman, Brian Jones' Tear Drop guitar. If you're a fan of John 5 you should check it out. Search for "John 5 plays 7 iconic guitars from Hard Rocks vault."
@@Ieeho98 yep! I have that video on my RUclips ‘favorites’ playlist 😊👍🏽 Idk much about guitar tone but I really love the sound of Hendrix’s guitar when John was playing it. He’s an awesome guitarist and super nice, I’ve met him several times 🎸😊
@@ShanLH5 I used catch him on a show called "That Metal Show" on VH1 Classic hosted by Eddie Trunk. John was on there as a guest, but they would also have a guest guitarist each week that would play them out to commercials and when they came back from commercials. Most of them would just play a guitar solo, but John would be doing crazy stuff getting all kinds of weird sounds of of his guitar. He was by far the best guest guitarist they had. But then MTV bought the channel, made it MTV Classic and didn't renew That Metal Show.
Black Sabbath had two amazing singers; Ozzy Osborne and Ronnie James Dio. Both have many amazing songs both in and outside the group. You should check out Heaven and Hell with RJD on vocals.
Just thought I'd point out that your guy's thumbnail is the cover art for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Sweet Leaf is from Master of Reality, one of the first albums I ever owned. Used to blast this song all the time back in the day, before I even knew what the 'leaf' was, lol
That's because that image is part of the montage in the video. Just sayin' in case you don't know.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Got eeeem
It was one of my first 8 track s , many moons ago
Wuts an 8 track? I thought Engleburt Humperdinck ended that sorry era
That cough in the beginning was an actual bong rip that they recorded. Love it.
Tony actually!
That's the sound coming from my sons room every morning and last thing @ night. Him choking down a few bong hits. I always laugh 😄 😁 because he coughs until he almost pukes!! .. he's still a novice.
@Scott Matznick I can so relate.
hilarious. I never knew that & I've bin listening to black sabbath for about 45 yrs
ozzy actually went to jail for burglary. his father refused to get him out to teach him a lesson. I guess it worked
Yeah this track is an absolute classic, it's considered the first ever stoner metal song and is basically credited with starting the entire stoner metal/rock sub-genre. If you guys haven't checked it out already, ya'll need to hear either Hand Of Doom or Snowblind. Both are killer tracks and absolute classics as well. Keep it up ya'll
Bill Ward absolutely killed it in Snowblind!!
Absolutely- these three tracks are responsible for stoner/doom/sludge, along with Hole in the Sky. Sabbath aren't just responsible for heavy metal but also at least two sub-genres as well.
Snowblind is a killer track.
Hi there guys. do enjoy your reactions. With regards to Sabbath. I would go with any of Into The Void, Symptom of The Universe or Supernaut. All amazing and out there Sabbath tunes. USA also had an early hard rock/proto metal band called The Blue Cheer. Try their version of Summertime Blues. For really early noisy guitar music, (pre sabbath), The Witch by The Sonics (early punk). For really great 80s thrash go with Tribal Convictions by Voivod. For brilliant US punk listen to Hollywood Babylon by The Misfits or Garbage Man by The Cramps. I'm sure you've done Ministry, so try I Will Refuse by Pailhead. Can't go wrong with any of the above. Enjoy
The absolute anthem of stoner metal! 🎸
The members of sabbath were from a gritty, economically depressed industrial city in England. They did not feel in touch with the whole summer of love hippie, peace and love movement of the 60’s. They decided to make “scary” music instead. I for one am glad they went their own way.
One of my most favorite drum parts is Bill beating those drums like they owe him money. They get me every single time!!
Bill Ward is the TRUTH, the whole truth and nothing but the TRUTH!!!!!!! He is criminally underrated.
Tony Iommi didn't invent distortion, or heavy riffs, but was the pioneer of heavy metal. His riffs came to define heavy metal. He injured his fingers in an industrial accident, and had plastic finger tips made for his left hand. Because of this, he down-tuned the guitar so the strings would be easier to play. It also made riffs that deeper and darker sounding, which was perfect for their sound.
What a way to start the week. Thanks guys. I rarely comment (older dude here)but just wanted to say I love chilling with you early in the morning. Makes getting up a little easier. Wish I could smoke one with you guys. Peace out be safe
🤘🤘🤘
Bro I take the bowl out everyday with these boys...the wonders of modern tech gives me that pleasure. ;)
I never thought it would take this long either. Black Sabbath are the masters. Period.
Bill Ward on Drums and Geezer Butler on Bass are on of the most underrated rhythm sections in Rock....both are effin' monsters and are simply overlooked by many because of Ozzy's iconic vocals and Iomi's unique sound. Sabbath is the Godfather of Metal.
Flashing back to Clambaking down by the river during High School to this one!
"THEY HAVE LEGENDARY RIFFS"
Yessir BH6, they did indeed. SO legendary in fact, that the opening Riff to this tune got swiped by the Red Hot Chili Peppers to use at the end of "Give It Away". Good stuff. If you're going to steal Steal good stuff.
It's also sampled in "rhymin and stealin" by the Beastie Boys.
And reconstructed in the track Sweat Loaf by the Butthole Surfers in 1987.
Holy shit how have I never noticed that before?!
I've had the pleasure of seeing Sabbath play live a few times. Watching Tony Iommi play these iconic riffs is one of the best things I've ever seen
Oh and suggestion- Ozzy - Killer of Giants
According to Geezer Butler (Bass Player) he was looking at a pack of cigarettes and the pack said 'The Sweetest of Leaf". Thats how the song came ot be. Everyone says weed but that is according to Black Sabbath's Bass Player
Black Sabbath is the first metal band. Oddly enough it was due to an accident that he down tuned his guitar. He worked in a factory and had the tips of 2 of his fingers on his fret hand chopped off. He made prosthetic fingertips and tuned his guitar differently to make playing easier and in the process created heavy metal.
All true except for one thing. Sabbath is ONE OF the first metal bands, along with Deep Purple and Blue Cheer
@@mikethemotormouth I would say Sabbath was the first "true" metal band but your point is valid.
Sold My Soul For Rock and Roll was my first introduction to anything outside of tejano and county. This and The Wizard were my world
The wizard is soooo underrated. Such a great song.
The kinks where the first to use distortion on guitar after the guitarist made slits in his Amp with a razor blade!!!
Haha! Loved the cat playing the piano in the beginning!❤️
Yes, the cat was cute 😊
I think a part of Black Sabbaths distinct sound, as well as metal in general, comes from the heavy use of power chords and palm muting.
The lead guitar player lost the tops of his fingers in an accident and had to change the way he played
No way, literally just listened to Masters of Reality thinking if people react to this. Good job guys!
Please give Mad Season - Wake up a react. Layne stayley on vocals and a supergeoup made up from screaming trees, pearl jam and alice in chains

You HAVE to do Into the void. One of the most disgusting riffs Iommi ever created. Has to be done!
second this
It is filthy , dirty filth 🔥
One of my favorite Ozzy Sabbath songs.
One of the songs that made me want to play bass - nasty, sludgy bass from Geezer 😎
Black Sabbath was a huge influence on Pantera. Y’all need to put some more spect on dimes name
RE
Wintersun - Time (Live rehearsal)
The rulers! SABBATH! YESSS! The riffs are indeed legendary. And yes, it’s about the greenery! More Sabbath please!
Coffee beans make coffee, leaves don't make coffee.
Black Sabbath drummer is golden a lot of his songs that amazing drum solos
The original Coca Cola had cocaine in it, hence the name of the soda. It was drank for medicinal use until the effects of it were found out. Then the cocaine was removed from the recipe.
black sabbath were called earth then changed the name so you could say ozzy was in two bands
💯 Same comment in our house.
Great song but I think you have the wrong album on your thumbnail.

Black Sabbath was called Earth before Sabbath. They were Ozzy's first band that made it big. They met in college.

Dude,the drummer was always going off😜
I’m having a puff right now actually on this sunny Sunday morning here in Cornwall.
Sabbath + sunshine + Mary Jane = bliss.
Oh f**k ya! I haven't heard this song in a minute! Great choice for a Monday morning!! Thanks guys!❤️🤓😁

Yes, it's about weed. The cough at the start is Tony's cough recorded. Got to see Sabbath twice and Ozzy three times. Always great.
Great reaction. Here are a couple of comments. When you say "he said", it is probably Butler the Bass player who wrote most, if not all, the lyrics. Weed has been illegal mainly because it can be grown anywhere unlike tobacco or coffee.

That riff. ..and the elastic rhythm section + Ozzys howl, makes a perfect stoner anthem

Can't believe we were rocking to this 45 years ago - or more !! 🤘😎
Tony Iommi absolutely created heavy metal music. He wrote the manual and we all just take ideas from the manual.
"Let's hope this is reality"
Actually, it is Master Of Reality
Sabbath was the first band where the name heavy metal was used. Tony also lost finger tips when he was younger.
Love the vibe you guys give out. Stay blessed and enjoy
If you liked this , listen to Fairies wear Boots. It’s another great classic from Sabbath 🔥🤘🏼
You need to react to the Melvin's
Yo yo yo Black Sabbath great song
Bill Fucking Ward on drums, ladies and gentlemen.
They did their last album about 8 years ago with Ozzy singing and the last tour was in 2016
You did the title track to the first album, you both said it was like a journey through Hell.
you guys must react to Gojira
#1 Amazonia
#2 Global Warming
#3 In the forest
This is some of their soft songs, if you guys react and like these songs, I'll give you 3 of their heaviest songs
The name Sweet Leaf comes from an Irish brand of cigarettes, which Geezer brought back to England from a holiday, but of course it's the birth of stoner metal. Ozzy and Geezer used to be in a band called Rare Breed before Sabbath, but I don't think they recorded anything. Bill and Tony used to be in Mythology. Ice-T samples Sabs songs "Black Sabbath" on his songs "Shut Up, Be Happy" and "Midnight", and "War Pigs" on "Rhyme Pays". He guests on a Sabbath song too "The Illusion of Power".
Oh yeah & that pic with the house is the cover on their first album .
Nice choice! I love this song!
This is off of their 3rd studio album Master Of Reality
Rush and sabbath..good friends..
I have always had the impression that BLACK SABBATH was his first band
I love you guys! More Ozzy and Sabbath for SURE!!! :D
You need to react to Monster Magnet ”Spacelord” and get your minds blown by great rock music.
THE BEGINING OF HEAVY METAL RIGHT HERE THIS BAND PEROID. amazing review as allways keep em comming. ps the sound is due to a hand injury.
I love smokin' weed while listening to SWEET LEAF (and all Sabbath songs)
if im not mistaken, He was in a band called "Earth" and the band eventully changed there name to Black sabbeth ... but Earth was his first band "I think"
you're right they changed their name in 1969 i think
Definitely do Helter Skelter! Iconic
Reefs are fire 🔥 love the beat ozzy God of darkness!!
When I was a teenager (the 80's) this was our anthem. Before Rick James wrote 'Mary Jane' Sweet Leaf was the love song to weed! That beginning cough is distinctive! Tony taking too big of a toke in the studio. Forever immortalized. Master of Reality was fkn EPIC!! One of my all-time favorite albums. It's kinda sad that you guys are constantly attributing the lyrics to Ozzy. Geezer (the bass player) was the main songwriter/lyricist during the 70's OG 8 studio albums.
Now watch the live 1970 in Paris of WAR PIGS" the drummer kills it. GRAND FUNK RAILROAD "SINS A GOOD BROTHER" in 69 released 5 months before Sabbath's in 70.
Black Sabbath "The Wizard" Please!
Top 3 in my favorite Sabbath songs. It is EVERYTHING 🖤
I don’t remember if I was one of those that requested this song but I’m very happy y’all did it. I just got a guitar about 2 weeks ago and this was my first song that I learned to play except for the little gallop near the end but this is a great track
I used to listen to this song thinking it just sounded awesome, it was only after the second time high listening to this song that I realised what oz was saying to me
How has “Smoke Diggety” not heard Sweet Leaf? In any case, a fitting introduction.
Rock on!
The conversation at the end makes me think y'all were into a little sweet leaf yourselves. LOL.
I grew up on this since I was born because of my sister
Black Sabbath was Earth before changing to Black Sabbath, same members. The song Black Sabbath was a nightmare Geezer Butler had, he told Ozzy about it and Ozzy wrote the song.
A National Acrobat should be next
Friday, April 30, 1982
Venue:
Northlands Coliseum
Location:Vinny Appice - Black Sabbath drummer 1980 to 1982 and on and off until 1997. Vinny and his older brother Carmine are widely known in a drumming community. Vinny played With Sabbath, Ronnie James Dio, Heaven and Hell, Joel Hoekstra and many others.
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Ronnie James Dio was the singer seen them in person at this concert i was 16 it was great
Tony Iommi fucked up his hand by cutting off the tips of two of his fingers at work. After recovering from the accident, he basically invented the power-chord to suite his limited ability of his fret hand. The power-chord is the foundation for almost every single metal song in existence.
In 67 he was in a band called Rare Breed and I believe also had Geezer Butler.... that band didn't last long. In 68 is when Black Sabbath was formed. I was born in 70 and grew up listening to Sabbath as well as Deep Purple.... my 2 favorites as a kid growing up, which was the beginning of my journey into metal. The last album with Ozzy Never Say Die, if I remember correctly, was fired due to Ozzy's excessive alcohol and drug use plus differences in some changes to style and sound of their music.... hence that album was considered the worst Sabbath album. Then Dio stepped in and Sabbath was reborn with Heaven and Hell 🤘😎🤘
FYI in 2016 the band minus the drummer Ward reunited for The End Tour
Hey Fam! Let’s go! I do have a recommendation. H.T. From the Trigun soundtrack. Dudes. You’ll love it
I think Ozzy's first band was called Rare Breed with Geezer Butler. Tony Iommi was in a band called Mythology with Bill Ward.
Bill Ward was a beast! I used to play this song in a band as a drummer and I never really did it justice I don't think, but it was a lot of fun to play. There are parts in there where it sounds like reckless abandon, but actually, it's brilliant playing. The riff of this song, what it's about, Ozzy doing his thing, makes this one of my all time favorites. Great reaction.
I was once talking to John 5 after a show about how great the main riff is, despite its simplicity. He does a medley of rock riffs in his shows, and that’s been one of them that he’s played. I told him “I can’t play a note on the guitar but I think even I could handle Sweet Leaf” (that riff). He said “I think you could.” Always appreciated his vote of confidence 😊😆🎸
“Weed is from the earth. God put it here for me and you. Take advantage, man. Take advantage” 😮💨💨
Yes the four of them are still with us.
Oh btw…. When the Levee Breaks, guys 😉
I had to reply to you when I saw you mentioned John 5. He is an awesome guitar player and I ran across a video of him playing some legendary guitars that are owned by the Hard Rock. Jimi Hendrix's SG Custom, Paul Stanley's Ibanez Iceman, Brian Jones' Tear Drop guitar. If you're a fan of John 5 you should check it out. Search for "John 5 plays 7 iconic guitars from Hard Rocks vault."
@@Ieeho98 yep! I have that video on my RUclips ‘favorites’ playlist 😊👍🏽 Idk much about guitar tone but I really love the sound of Hendrix’s guitar when John was playing it. He’s an awesome guitarist and super nice, I’ve met him several times 🎸😊
@@ShanLH5 I used catch him on a show called "That Metal Show" on VH1 Classic hosted by Eddie Trunk. John was on there as a guest, but they would also have a guest guitarist each week that would play them out to commercials and when they came back from commercials. Most of them would just play a guitar solo, but John would be doing crazy stuff getting all kinds of weird sounds of of his guitar. He was by far the best guest guitarist they had. But then MTV bought the channel, made it MTV Classic and didn't renew That Metal Show.
@@Ieeho98 yep I remember! Oh that one episode when Manson was on and was trying to persuade John to give him a hug… he was like nah, I’m good 😆
Black Sabbath had two amazing singers; Ozzy Osborne and Ronnie James Dio. Both have many amazing songs both in and outside the group. You should check out Heaven and Hell with RJD on vocals.
