In this #metalmonday edition of #thedailydoug, I'm returning to Black Sabbath's second album, Paranoid, to listen to its last track Fairies Wear Boots. This is a first time listen for me, and I found the song to be quite the fun romp. Come along for the ride!

The bass riffs in the opening section are so jazzy/funky. Modern metal could use a little dose of this type of freedom.
Geezer is, in my opinion, one of the best bass players around. His bass lines are like no other and I feel that he doesn't get the credit he deserves.
If you like the Jazzy portion. Should check out the cover band, Brown Sabbath. They do some Sabbath songs infusing with Jazz and Fusion.
A favorite band of mine King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard released a full-on metal album a few years ago. It’s a thrash album but has a lot of Sabbath influence as well, and if you check out a song like Planet B, they have these high-energy verse parts with furious walking basslines, very reminiscent of Geezer’s parts on War Pigs or other early Sabbath song.
@@donpark8316 Most definitely he’s a monster.
Geezer is a beast.
The drums are off the chain. I am constantly amazed by Bill Ward and the versatility of Sabbath in general.
Bill ward is a monster
MISTAH BILL WARD \,,/
Bill Ward is so underrated
That "swing" is awesome....
John poor Bonham 😢
Bill Ward's father brought him up on a lot of jazz. That is why it swings so much. Great Iommi sounds, of course. Thanks for the great job as usual!
I think I probably say this on half the Black Sabbath videos on RUclips, but man, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler were the best damn rhythm section ever.
Mr. Helvering, I love how you truly appreciate the greatness in all types of music. A sincere "Thank you" for not being a music snob. Dear sir, you're a breathe of fresh air!
And here come the Bots! Thanks for the Al-gore-ithim! 👆
@@robertkroberjr.157 😂🤘👍
I love how funky this song is! Always one of my favorites on this already stacked album.
Thanks for noticing all the nuances in Tony’s playing! It’s part of why he is such a great guitarist and so enjoyable to listen to! Geezer and Bill compliment Tony’s guitar playing perfectly with their skilled jazzy/swing influences. Then of course there is Ozzy with that uniquely disaffected wail that is the hallmark of his vocals. He is the undisputed voice of metal, IMO and Sabbath is the greatest metal band ever!
The outro of this song surely inspired "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica, specifically in the main melody 'fore the verse.
Oh absolutely!
both licks are in triplets
The "Swing" part paints pictures of dancing monsters. They interpret their vision through music very well.
See, we 70's kids knew good music when we heard it !!!!! Glad everyone else is catching on....
I love the ending to this song, the bass that goes up and down while Iommi play that repeating lick that occasionally gets reverb for a sec and back and on.
Paranoid is THE Iconic Sabbath album, every song is killer
The album Paranoid is a template for so metal to come.
I could do without planet caravan, but the others are great
From their debut to Sabotage, they all switch to my favorite at one time or another.
Planet caravan is perfect too. Is a 10 album
ikr
Your channel is a great combo of enthusiastic reaction and fascinating music theory!
I love breakdowns on this stuff. I’ve been listening to Sabbath for 40 years and am just now learning the bass parts. It’s really fun to play and the band is incredibly unique.
This is one of the most awesome albums ever. Wish I still had mine.
A great song off the album Paranoid. Reportedly the lyrics were inspired by an incident after a Sabbath concert in 1970. The band was attacked by a bunch of Skinheads after the show, injuring Tony Iommi and forcing them to cancel their next performance. The second half was about LSD. If you are seeing Fairies wearing boots, you may be on LSD, lol.
You got that right, man. Great song. Back in the day, when I listen to this album for the first time I obviously knew leading songs like Paranoid, Iron Man, War Pigs, but that song I did not. I was stunned. What a great piece of music. I love it.
What exactly is a fairy? Like Tinkerbell wearing combat boots?
@@pulsarlights2825 Now that elicits an interesting visual 😂
Mostly right, Mark, actually, Fairies was the moniker Ozzy gave these "skin head" wanna be's in England back in the 70's...they all wore "jack boots" made famous by Nazi Germany...so, this was the band fighting back in a different way...lol...miss those days a lot!!!
Fairies Wear Boots is a reference to them saying that the skinheads, who notoriously wore boots, were the "fairies in boots". It's them throwing shade on the skinhead toxic and fragile masculinity. Homophobic skinheads used to refer to us long hairs as fairies.
One of my favourite Black Sabbath songs, listen again concentrating on the bass lines, Gezza Butler is awesome.
Sabbath is such an incredible band! They’re definitely the birth of metal!🤘🏻
Planet Caravan is a great song from this album.
My favorite Sabbath song.
Thanks for reacting to "Fears Wear Boots". It is my second favorite Black Sabbath song, with "Snowblind" just topping it as #1. I started my Heavy Metal journey in the early 80's. Black Sabbath was one of the first metal bands I listened to. It's always a treat to hear others enjoy the music I have been loving for over 40 years.
So ahead of their time. Very skilled musicians.
No one sounded like Black Sabbath.
I grew listening to Sabbath among many others of that era , and this tune was always one of fav tunes from Sabbath. the drumming was stellar and of course Iommi is one of the best guitarists ever. Such a killer tune!
As a teen in the 80's who played Dungeons & Dragons after school and then walked home for dinner, this was sometimes my brains soundtrack for that walk.
Hand Of Doom is my personal favorite on this album
Love the groove of the song. Very swing inspired.
I know its supposed to be heavy metal and all that, but their music feels warm and confortable to me, so melodic and perfectly flowing... it just feels good
I agree, no other “heavy metal” band has that quality.
That's why I love the Ozzy era: There are so many different movements and parts in all of their songs, it's just marvelous. I'm excited for you to check out stuff from Sabbath bloody Sabbath or Sabotage, they almost went prog there. Some guitarists can call themselves lucky if they got one killer riff per album - Iommi has at least three per song!
For that is considered Doom metal
For that is considered Doom metal
watching metal Monday always makes my Mondays
You should check out Jazz Sabbath, Doug. A recent group arranging these songs in a traditional jazz style.
I really like their Paranoid cover. They made the two minute song 7 minutes long with very beautiful piano.
You should check out "Brown Sabbath's" cover of this tune... it's a R&B funk/jazz interpretation with a full horn section... it's great stuff

Thanks Doug - really enjoyed that. Did you pick up Geezer Butler's bass throughout? Don't miss it when you listen again - it's astonishing, If you ever return to Paranoid, Electric Funeral and Hand of Doom are pretty special.
I especially like Geezer's bass during the reprise of the opening. It seems to be played a lot faster but the bass is just all over the place. The contrasts and sudden changes are what make Sabbath so great.
Geezer's technique is legendary!! Always loved his playing.
Sabbath really found their signature sound with this one.
Love the perspective..."apparently, Ozzy agrees.."YEEEAAAHHHH!!!
Please do an album reaction to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath! , What a ride that takes you on. some nice acoustic stuff as well as heavy riffs.
Great song from their number one selling album. Great bass, drumming and Tony Iommi guitar. Killer riff. Great groove. HAS always been a live concert favorite that they almost always played
Brings back to highway 549...1997 GMC Sierra...me driving to high school at 16 years old just about 20 years ago. Still drive the same highway...still listen to this song...the old GMT-400 is long gone though at this point.
This is my favorite review by you, from what I've seen so far. Looks like you really dug the band and tune. Thanks for the deep insights into the song construction.
What a classic, what a way to kick off heavy metal. We owe a lot to Black Sabbath.
Watching you enjoy listening to this music demonstrates how the intent plays out in performance - these songs were meant to be enjoyed
Metal Mondays got me hooked on your channel. It’s not often that someone with an academic background in music gives impressions and analyses of metal songs.
I’ve noticed you’ve repeated specific artists quite a few times. I’d be interested in seeing you react to a broader range of metal artists. Gojira comes to mind, they’re a technical death metal band. It might be a stretch from sounds you’re familiar with, but I think there will be a lot of cool stuff for you to discuss.
Something I appreciate about metal is that it’s a genre that has a lot of room for new creative expression and a lot of developing new directions with music.
Oh, a lot of people say Avenged Sevenfold are great songwriters. I don’t have the necessary background to evaluate that for myself.
There’s even the possibility of exploring how music has influenced different subcultures.
There are a lot of possibilities.
I never saw the big deal. Fairies and dwarves typically get along fine, and both are quite fond of dancing.
🤘🧙♂️🤘
Rich the Ancient Metal Beast
right there with you....what doesn't go together is yack yack yack yack do re me during the song....if a person is listening for a key then they cannot possibly be hearing the music.
Spot on, Doug! I first heard this album back in 1971 when I was a mere 10 years old. It hit me like a ton of bricks. "Now, THIS is my kind of music!!", I shouted to myself!
As for "Fairies Wear Boots" in particular, I was hoping and expecting that you would call out the musical variety on this one, in particular. It's all over the map, VERY dynamic. One of my favorite Sabbath tunes for sure!!
@Doug Helvering you can’t go wrong with anything from the first 6 albums. I suggest doing Hand of Doom/Rat Salad next. Do them together as Rat Salad is a short instrumental that serves as a coda to Hand of Doom.
Crazy this song popped in my head this Morning out of the Blue. Haven't heard it in years and here you are. Amazing. You sent me a message telepathically.
Love early Sabbath. This is one of my all-time favs!!!
One of the best from Black Sabbath.
It's amazing you can call the notes just from sound and when the go up a step or half step etc. I have to read TAB/Sheet to figure it out. Awesome video as always.
Thanks Doug... It was a while back that I requested this. Very cool.
This song and The Wizard are my fav Sabbath songs.
"Swinging the chain "and " its allright"is a great one with I think bill ward singing
Thanks Doug ! I enjoy your analysis! Very entertaining.
That guitar ending is insane! Great song!
Fantastic song. Enjoy your insights Doug. Keep ‘em coming!
Have done this as a cover in a few bands. At the very least, all the Sabbath fans would flip out [definitely a deep cut], and if it were generally metal fans in the crowd [as was usual] this track would definitely lively up the place!
Sabbath was great for their grooves, blending metal, and funky rhythm
I've learned how to appreciate music in a much deeper way thanks to your videos Doug!
Great song choice Doug😁👍This song is a true classic and never gets old listening to it.
This is the first album I ever owned, and my favourite tune from said album 👌
Ozzy is one of a kind. Distinct voice
Loving the metal mondays… would love to hear your take on Voivod’s ‘Tribal Convictions’ may be over 30years old now, but a timeless piece
Got to remember that Sabbath, originally where going to be a Blues/Jazz band. Then Tony Iommy cut his finger tips off with a sheet metal press on his last day at work. That’s when he made is finger tips from. Washing up bottle and they turned down to what there signature town is now.
Great channel Doug
Here's to 500,000 by this years end.
Fairies wear boots, but it's not easy to find their size at the local shoe store.
I've listened to this hundreds of times over five decades, and I still get out the air guitar and sing along with Oz. Glad you can dig it.
I love the tempo changes. Great album to review.
Love your content Doug...keep up the great work...
This track is about Ozzy coming home from Band Pratice one evening and spotting Punks beating up someone, they were wearing Boots and Ozzy did not think these Punks were all that tough ( hence faries)
Haven't heard this one in ages... thanks for covering it Doug!
I feel smarter yet somehow more ignorant to the music I've listened to from the beginning maybe because I've just listened to and not had a musical professor to explain "WHY" I love this music sooooo damn much.... Thank you for your expertise I'm about to join.
Hey Doug!
Great reaction! At some point I would love your reaction to Sabbra Cadabra from their 1973 album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. This is Ozzy's first ever upbeat love song and features the incomparable Rick Wakeman on piano.
Cheers!
I don’t comment often but I want to let you know how much I enjoy the channel! Great job! I learn a lot from you.
Great reaction, Doug !!! Very informative too. Thank you for this.
Really glad that you got around to this classic!! Cheers Doug :)
Just wanted to throw in a recommendation for Spiral Architect from the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album. Love the mix of the band with an orchestra!
Some heavy music.
I always think for the last line ozzy and geezer were like “yea I don’t know what to write for that line let’s just do a full bar of yeaaaa” 😂
Psilocybin Mushroom tripping for sure!
Tony wrote some clever riffs that people missed thinking it was mindless metal.
A fantastical song Doug! One of my favorite Sabbath tunes. Yeah you are right- this one swings. I love the main rhythm figure. Cool beans.
Beaucoup de souvenir. De bons souvenir. Merci Doug, je suis guitariste et j’apprécie que tu nous mentionnes les tonalités. Après, je prends ma guitare 🎸 et je peux reproduire les riff rapidement. Thank you very much.
There's a cover version of this song by a band called Brownout that's just simply superb.
my favourite song from Black Sabbath and good Lord I love how Geezer's bass sounds in this song!!
I love the swing in Bill Ward’s drums 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Doug you just keep getting cooler, great song for a toke or two, fingers crossed :)
Really great song, always loved it. We must see you react to the best trip song of all times, which is from this album, the eternal "Planet caravan" ✌️
i love when you react to sabbath and ozzy
Genius song.... love all their Ozzy albums.... the reason why these albums are still great is because they have swing.... modern bands don't and are sterile by comparison...
This is one of my favorite songs on Paranoid.
Next Black Sabbath, try Planet Caravan. Unfortunately I don't think that there are any live versions on RUclips.
One of my favorites from Paranoid.
Doug, a great cover of this was done by a band called Brown Sabbath.
@ 7:41 Metallica, For whom the Bell Tolls intro. Jake E Lee, Ozzy Bark at the Moon also used this on his solo for "Slow Down" 🎸. Awesome guitar lick by Tony Iommi.
Proto is a great way to describe Black Sabbath.
My favorite tune from the album.
Just reminding you and Megan about that Todd Rungren album Acapella. All Voices album by Todd with machine technology from back in the day! Great unique take from a rock artist, very innovative and pioneering. Rungren was an engineer whiz kid Dark Side of the Moon/Pink Floyd credits. Enjoy a Listen.
For me this is about the wierd little guy hanging out in a tree near my house with big boots on. He was put there by my imagination after being up for 48hrs on speed and this song has always had a special resonance ever since
Doug, there's a cover of this by Brown Sabbath that's so sweet; with horns!
The Fairie and the dwarf was inside, ozzy was looking through the window. :)
This classic Black Sabbath music is a fun listen, to be sure. For fans of this style, you have to check out Brown Sabbath (Black Sabbath covers with a latin jazz feel, very cool) and Lucifer, a modern band who vibes in this style and who's awesomeness can't be denied.
I remember in about 77' - 78' listening to this entire album at a friends house while tripping on sugar cube cid and playing with a glow in the dark skull in total darkness !! Wow what a great trip !! YESSSS !!!
Ozzy use to call the skin heads "fairies" and the skin heads wore boots (Doc Martens).
Victim of Changes or Dissident Aggressor by Judas Priest would make fine Metal Monday reactions. My favorite Judas Priest period for sure. Have a great rest of your week @Doug Helvering
