Metal is a huge umbrella of a category, not everyone's gonna like the same style. Black Sabbath is one of the best bands IMO but ya can still be a metalhead and not be big on sabbath
@@derekperkins57 true, but black sabbath was basically the first metal band and pretty much invented plenty of different types of metal music in general. Black Sabbath (the song), Killing Yourself To Live (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath), and Computer God (DeHumanizer) are good examples of doom metal. Symptom Of The Universe (Sabotage) has a main riff very similar to thrash metal. Fairies Wear Boots, Sweet Leaf (Master Of Reality), and Supernaut (4th Album) are also great examples of stoner metal. Many of the songs from the Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die! albums definitely give off a glam metal vibe. In other words, it's quite difficult for a heavy metal fan not to like at least 1 Black Sabbath song. If they don't, it just means that they haven't listened to the type of song from Black Sabbath that they've liked yet.
I have been a sabbath fan since over forty years and still haven't been disappointed. You need to see what they do live. Just bloody fantastic to this day
Musical perfection. The S.O.S. type riff at the end to me is a cry of help that has rung throughout the LP. The backdrop of the Vietnam Conflict, the hard drugs and their toll at the end of the Sixties, the civil rights protests, the war mongering politicians. In my mind Paranoid is one of the best albums to capture an epoch.
The track is about the band being attacked by a gang of skinheads on the way home from a party. The drug reference at the end was a parody because the band enjoyed soft recreational drugs as did every rock band in those days.
My 13 year old daughter yelled this at a DARE function. It was hard to discipline her and keep a straight face. How do you discipline the YOU outta your kid? 😂
Ozzy Ozbourne was a visionary for sure. The man was brilliant with lyrics that not only inspired but also intrigued his listeners to indulge further. A brilliant man to this day.
Grew up listening to Sabbath in the 70s & never heard this one til today. The music is epic just like everything they do but the lyrics just tickled me.
I'm jamming this windows open on my house right now and a deer, a deer, walks up. It's standing there 20 feet away and listening. It just standing there and listening right now. It's standing there and listening with a wtf look on it's face. I'm gonna play Paranoid next and see what it does. UPDATE: 1 MINUTE LATER , now I see it has it's little spotted Bambi baby right outside eating my lawn. They like OZZY! I've decided to play Pink Floyd PIGS and see what they do! LOL
I'm a grandma and I have been privileged to see BS 3 times . Althought I never seen Randy Roads. I've seen Ozzy 6 times. He threw water on me and my husband . Zakk threw a guitar pic . The Drummer threw two drum sticks and my husband caught them. We were in the 3 row. After the concert my ex almost got rolled . Luckley we got away with the memorabilia. Then seen Ozzy , Vixin and Uglykid joe on the 4th of July . We took our 10 yr old son. Best band ever.
Black Sabbath, created the heaviest music in 1970, they are the true god fathers of Heavy type of music, Feb 13 1970 their Masterpiece first album came out. was mind blowing then, to day remains a Masterpiece, all hail the mighty Black Sabbath.
As I was listening to this “blast from the past” it came to my attention that this song may be considered non-pc with all its talk about fairies and dwarves. Made me like it even more. Rock on my little chickadees.
Yeah, right. I mean, that's cool, cuz who needs a group of bored, angry, violent, stupid, destructive, bigotist, hate-mongering kids with chips on their shoulders and too much time on their hands hanging around. But, I personally think that's just an excuse to cover-up the real inspiration for the track. Ozzy's really bad acid trip..
@@Alberto-ny7kf Yeah. I'm just stating what i read about ther origin of the song on genius.com. I always thought it was obviously about a never-ending acid trip gone horribly wrong!
I saw a fairy with boots on and you got to believe me.So true because I have to.😀 Seriously I really did and no tripping either 😀👍.One it their best songs ever.
Ozzy was seen as a bit odd dragging a plimsoll around the streets of Birmingham as a teenager good job it's often the case that oddest creates such greatness
I remember this song was always playing while we were smoking and tripping in our early 20' s with the boys ....and hearing that in the song always tripped me out 😝😂😱😏
Sabbath is the bringers of metal Ozzy is the metal God I was lucky enuff to see him twice once on the Sabbath reunion tour and oooooh yea he blew the roof of the fucking dump I couldn't speak for four days sabbath rocked me out in my drunken stupper I've seen many Ozzy and sabbath was the most bad assed display of jamming I've ever seen
Really the heaviest song of all......not much radio play. But that was really great tripping music! Microdot anybody? Blotter? Paranoid,Hair of the Dog,Machinehead.Dark side of the moon. 4 albums you just had to have. 70’s thru the 80’s.....and beyond!
actually, listening now to the lyrics, it's simple as all hell. I'm 63, so this was from back in my teenage years. I grew up on rock and roll from the 60s and 70s, but now, a lot of what I used to think was so damn deep just seems kind of goofy. Good music though.
Went on a riverboat cruise in the Midwest once, with a local Rock station. I requested this song, and the dance floor flooded with hot girls when it came on. True story. The boat was JUMPIN
I first heard this song the summer of 1994 when some kid at summer camp had the CD. Maybe a few months later I found it at a record store and it blew me away, giving me nightmares for a long time, months I would wake up in the middle of the night terrorized by this music. I *LOVED* it, every song on it, but IMHO the most terrifying were Electric Funeral and this. Still moves me to this day, very powerful tune, huge bass line and haunting lyrics. If I were the devil head on with Sabbath playing this tune I would surrender and turn hell over to them, I saw it with my own two eyes!
Black Sabbath is the best heavy metal band ever! If you don't like Sabbath you don't like metal
Black Sabbath is amazing but I think iron maiden is the best

I would say Black Sabbath is awesome but slipknot is pretty good too not gonna lie
Most under rated metal song ever..... and you gotta believe me
TOTAL AGREE!!!!
I heard it, I heard it with my own two ears
It's True!
OH YES I DO. Genius and one of a kind. In a class all its own. That's how genius this song is. I agree with you 110 percent. My favorite Sabbath song.
I do.
51 year old song and still rocks. Ageless
And will continue until the end of time ;-)
The bass line is incredible
The era's best rock bassist, along with Zep's JPJ.
It's geezer dude. The best of the best
I think geezer is the best bass player of all time
I have been a sabbath fan since over forty years and still haven't been disappointed. You need to see what they do live. Just bloody fantastic to this day
I hate to say it, but they stopped performing in 2017.
@@vicrattlehead5614 i did see ozzy live in 2018 tho xD better then nothing lol
if only we could!! got tickets to see ozzy on 2023...
Seen them 4 times with 3 different lead singers
13 was a good offering
How can anyone not love this song?
Several ppl did 👎🏽 this song... Maybe they have some moral issue with fairies & dwarves dancing together 🙃
@@safyreshel Or fairies wearing boots
All hail the mighty Geezer! His bass lines glue all this together, perfectly matched to Tony's guitar and Bill's drums at the same time.
Don't forget he also wrote all their tracks.
@@TheVidkid67 the lyrics, that is.
Actually, if you listen to Bill explain how he plays, it's him playing to what Tony and Geezer are playing.
when you realize this was recorded 50 years ago
Love it! I am 66 years young and still listen to this album....
I'm 28 years young and I love this music!
omg so long i am old
Fuck it was
Wow thats amazing it could have came out this year and u wouldnt kno
Sabbath is just the greatest band I ever heard in my entire life! Point blank.
The long intro is timed perfectly and their style shines on it completely.
Same !!!
that's why i bought every single album.. and copies of them so no one even is allowed to breath on those.
Number 3 in my list of classic rock bands. Great band!
BLACK SABBATH & JUDAS PRIEST, MY TWO FAVORITES OF ALL TIME ..............................
-Cause smokin` and tripping is all that you do.
-"Yeaaaa"
That Ozzy ❤
FAVORITE LINE of the song!! About an LSD trip, I'm pretty sure!!
@@colleenpeterson7247 Geezer the bass player wrote all the lyrics ... if you like these, he's responsible.
Doin that now ☺
@@pawnee55 I think this is one of the ones Geezer didn't write. His bass line is kickin' though.
Anyone listening while quarantined? 2020
Right now....😎
Soon to be followed by Sweetleaf ...😁
@@jstone67 awesome
Listening and happy in 2020.By God,i was 5 years old then.
Yes and its more than good.
It's a weekly play for me...
2020 sabbath still rocks and sounds better. than half the music today.
And they sound better than the other half as well.
@@hugejohnson5011 aujourd'hui c'est de la merde. De la grosse merde !
From 1969 to August 2022 and it's just as good today as it was in my youth so rock on brother
Tony iommi is a Genius
I agree, this song never got the recognition it deserves.
Musical perfection. The S.O.S. type riff at the end to me is a cry of help that has rung throughout the LP. The backdrop of the Vietnam Conflict, the hard drugs and their toll at the end of the Sixties, the civil rights protests, the war mongering politicians.
In my mind Paranoid is one of the best albums to capture an epoch.
It brings me to a life time of tears More than forty years. what has changed i's insane. What can you give me? doc?
The track is about the band being attacked by a gang of skinheads on the way home from a party. The drug reference at the end was a parody because the band enjoyed soft recreational drugs as did every rock band in those days.
My favorite of all Sabbath songs, Ozzy just blew me away with his lyrics at the age of 9 when I heard this. He's the "GOD" of ROCK IMHO!
Oh for fuck's sake not another one...OZZY DIDN'T WRITE ANY SABBATH LYRICS!!!
@@TheVidkid67 😆 but fairies wear boots, and ya gotta believe me.🤫
One of the best but least played Black Sabbath tunes!!!
The drums just killed me🤘
Gabriella GR if the drums killed you then listen to rat salad
I totally agree, Gabriella.
Me too
sorry to hear that
Thats Bill Ward to you
One of my favorite songs of all time. Best band ever
My 13 year old daughter yelled this at a DARE function. It was hard to discipline her and keep a straight face. How do you discipline the YOU outta your kid? 😂
@Hippie God Douche
@Amish brotherhood I assuming that she yelled "fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me", I could be wrong though...
@PYRØ MANiAC Bruh...smh, I'm assuming you are making a joke here?
Answer to your question: you don't
You don't
The whole "paranoid" album imo is one of the best albums of all time! This song rocks, ward kicks ass on those drums. Go bill! Suddenly i got a 😱 😀😀😀
This song is from "Black Sabbath" 1
my bad
@@avi_s0ncin0 No, this one is from paranoid...
The key changes, and how quickly everyone recovers to move forward to the next chord, unreal
Been a Sabbath & OZZY fan since I was 12 years old (1975-26 years) and this song has always been probably my favorite of them all.
My FAVORITE Sabbath song. Genius lyrics, genius guitar chords, genius Ozzy.
Bill on those drums though
Bill and Geezer are possibly the best rhythm section in the history of rock
It is around 12 O'clock everybody yup
I could just see The Fairy G-d mother wearing Cowboy Boots!!!
Still rockin ❗❗2023.
Here.
As song that starts out with a solo. Fancy that.
Ozzy Ozbourne was a visionary for sure. The man was brilliant with lyrics that not only inspired but also intrigued his listeners to indulge further. A brilliant man to this day.
Geezer Butler wrote all Sabbath lyrics. Ozzy was just a mere vocalist singing someone else's lyrics.
You're right Geezer was often writing lyrics but as far as i remember in this song it was actually Ozzy
Smokin' and Trippin' is all that you do.
Love it🤟
Dang! Iommi's guitar and Butler's bass just work perfectly together.
Grew up listening to Sabbath in the 70s & never heard this one til today. The music is epic just like everything they do but the lyrics just tickled me.

Do the deer wear boots too?
Amazing Black Sabbath masterpiece. 🤘🤘🤘
Great guitar and bass work at the end. Saw these guys live at Cobo in 1973. Can't remember much. Too stoned at the time.
Lol
Perry Nicholson born 73 , big bros turned me on to this shit
Amazing song...tempo changes are immaculate...love these guys!
This song is a legit masterpiece for sure
There aint nothing i love more than a groovy bassline!!
One of my very favorite songs by sabbath
I LOVE Black Sabbath, I LOVE all their songs, like every single one of them...but this one in particular is my ULTIMATE FAVOURITE.
My favorite song from Black Sabbath

Was 6yrs old when my dad got this album... haven't been them since... \m/
who ever gave this a thumbs down is a product
Fantastic song.
Simply GOLD...been a Sabbath/OZZY fan for 45 years and this is my favorite of all their greats.
As much as I like Fairies Wear Boots I really love the instrumental "Jack The Stripper" 0:00 - 1:15
favorite band hands down!!!!
God I miss tripping soo much.!!!!
You ere blessed with good taste.
GRAN CANCIÓN, UNA DE MIS FAVORITAS, NO SOLO DE BLACK SABBATH SINO DEL METAL EN GENERAL.😊😊
Great album Master of reality good too
this song was inspired by a group of Skinheads that confronted Black Sabbath. They wore boots, thus the name of the song.
Oh wow, I never new that! Thanks!
Black sabbath thanks

One of my Favorite Songs, Thxs.,Merci. Favorite #1
I saw them in 78 Van Halen was the warm up band!
your old!!😁😁
One of my favorites from them!
I'm here listening every time.
I was one year old when these musical masters brought to life a true masterpiece! Ozzy set the bar with his lyrics, no doubt!
Ozzy never wrote any lyrics for the band. Geezer was the song writer.

You know how much acid he had to be tripping on when he got the inspiration for this song, he prob did see that shit lol hahahaa ozzy is legend!!!!

Legend has it, it was about a bunch of skinheads that pissed him off
The father of heavy metal. ❤
The soundtrack of my youth .......oh yeah and ya gotta believe me !
Who'd think a song that can rock as hard as this would be about fairies wearing boots. One of my best liked tracks..
It's about the time when the band were attacked and beat up by a gang of skinheads. This was Geezer Butler getting his own back on them.
cause smokin and trippin is all that I do...
RUclips-tied 😂😂😂😂 🌳 🌳 ssssssss are goooooood 4 u
YEAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!
And what would you do with me

True Story 😅damn
Went on a riverboat cruise in the Midwest once, with a local Rock station. I requested this song, and the dance floor flooded with hot girls when it came on. True story. The boat was JUMPIN
All time great

I first heard this song the summer of 1994 when some kid at summer camp had the CD. Maybe a few months later I found it at a record store and it blew me away, giving me nightmares for a long time, months I would wake up in the middle of the night terrorized by this music.
