@@Lepotadneva Actually the Wicked World was the first Original song they ever recorded. The first song they recorded was Evil Woman (a cover from the band Crow) which was their first single. Wicked World was on the B side of the single. But that doesn't include the Earth demo's
Arguably still the heaviest riff ever written. The gloriously demonic 'tritone'. Before they wrote this song they just another bog-standard blues/jazz fusion band called Earth. But one day, across the road from where they were rehearsing, they saw a cinema advertising Mario Bava's classic horror anthology BLACK SABBATH. They noticed how many people were going to see it and someone said "Isn't it interesting that people will pay money to see a scary movie. What about if we started writing scary music?" And that set a whole direction for the band. 'Black Sabbath' was the second song they wrote, and an entire genre was born.
The movie Black Sabbath was one of the scariest movies I ever saw as a child. I don't ever hear or see it ever discussed in scary movie circles. It was such a surprise to hear that this was what they were named after!
Don't forget the fact that Iommi's accidental loss of fingers made him to drop the tune of the guitar and change his approach to playing, which created the iconic sound.
@craig 22I'm 19 currently. And 4 years ago, I first heard this song. That time I was already into Pantera, Megadeth, Metallica etc. But when I heard this song I couldn't finish it. I was scared as fuck. And BTW, metal might have died only in the US. In Asia, it's growing bigger everyday.
@@klasseact6663 , that release date you mention was in England because in the USA it was released June 1, 1970. I was 9 years old that year and Sabbath became my favorite band since knocking The Beatles from my favorite band 😁
@@klasseact6663 , I never said that The Beatles were better or not all I said was that back in 1970 I was 9 years old and the Fab Four were my favorite band until the day I came accross and listened to Sabbath music for the first time. That was in the Summer of 1970. Now, you can't say that Sabbath is better than The Beatles because both bands have different music styles, but you cannot deny that both bands have definitely influenced hundreds of bands because both Sabbath and The Beatles were creators of a different kind and style of music. Back in 1960 (The Beatles) and in 1970 (Black Sabbath).
I saw Black Sabbath in 1978 in Springfield, Illinois. Van Halen were the opening act on their first U.S. tour. I was 14 and my 16 year old friend drove there. The guitar notes you hear are a tri- tone that was associated with the devil. If you freeze the video you will see a left handed red guitar with 6 strings. Tony Iommi with a Gibson SG that had the electronics modified. The other guitar is a Fender bass played by Terrance "Geezer" Butler. It has 4strings and a natural finish. You can see him plucking it with his fingers. His hair is also lighter in color than Tony's. You guys are a sweet couple and if the song scares you, you have each other to hold. I play electric guitar, bass and drums, and Black Sabbath are a big inspiration. I started playing in 1970. I'm sure my answers were already addressed in the comments but I did not read them yet. Try to listen to " Lady Evil" also by Black Sabbath, but with the second vocalist Ronnie James Dio. He was a better singer than Ozzy. Ozzy is great also. RIP Ronnie. Going to subscribe now.
No effects... just 4 men, 3 instruments and 1 voice... this is impossible to replicate by any band in any point in history besides these 4 pioneers.🤘🏽🙇🏽♂️
Rob Halford ( the vocalist of Judas Priest) once called this song “the most evil track ever that’s been written.” I don't have a point, just thought you would appreciate that little fact.
My ex wife did not like me playing Sabbath around the kids. Saying it was the devil music. I said you have it all wrong, they used Satan as a reference. They did not worship the devil. Listen to the song After Forever. The Demonic sound that Tony Iomi was playing was banned in the middle ages, for sounding like the devils music. In musical terms it is a Triton, or the devils interval.
I automatically clicked like when you stopped at the beginning and said ‘that’s one of the sickest intros’. I absolutely agree. It’s my favorite Sabbath song and it’s mainly because of that badass riff. This song is arguably THE song that defined the heavy metal sound. Btw, a fellow June 1 baby right here...1974 👍🏼
Actually this one's lyrics were penned by Ozzy. During a July 2001 interview with Geezer Butler, Guitar World magazine explained that "having borrowed a 16th century tome of black magic from Osbourne one afternoon, Butler awoke that night to find a black shape staring balefully at him from the foot of his bed. After a few frightening moments, the figure slowly vanished into thin air." Geezer continued to describe how he "told Ozzy about it. It stuck in his mind, and when we started playing 'Black Sabbath', he just came out with those lyrics. It had to come out, and it eventually did in that song - and then there was only one possible name for the band, really!"
Geezer wrote almost all the lyrics, but Ozzy would create the vocal melody. You can also clearly hear bass on this, the guitar's heavy and tuned down, but a lot of the rumble is bass and it's shown too
FINALLY!!!!! Thanks for doing this one, the song that started it all!!!!! I have loved Black Sabbath my entire life, and was fortunate enough to get to literally travel the world to see them live. I listen to their music every day of my life.
toni iomi and geezer butler played guitar, bill ward on drums-oz singing, the birth of metal, nobody was doing stuff like that in 60s-70s lool- they was not doing hippy stuff lol- j they are all still alive- 13 came out not too long ago-was a masterpiece- black sabbath will play no more unfortunitly , 13 was their last tour-oz has parkinsons-rock on u legends, u only been doing it for 50+ years , time to relax
The Wizard off of Sabbath's 1st album is a great one. Ozzy plays the harmonica. To clarify in the UK it was released 2/13/70, but in the US it was released 6/1/70.
As a 16 year year old, I sat in the dark crossed legged on the floor listening to that intro as the first song of their concert during Black Sabbath’s first UK tour and knew that music had changed forever.
Along with Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony and parts of Mahler's 6th and 9th, one of the most terrifying pieces of music ever written. It shocks first time listeners as much now as it did 50 years ago.
Good evening Sippingtons. I’m having a Canadian Club on the rocks. I’m 45 years old and first heard this as a kid. It was the first song that ever scared me! Cheers!
This is an Anti-Satanic song. Warning Satan will fill all your worldly greed, desire and pride and when he comes to collect you will be screaming for God to save your ass. So maybe just don't sell your soul.
Great reaction. My first metal band. Still a big musical influence. Although a lot of the beats sound sinister, if you pay attention to their lyrics, you’ll find a lot of positive messages. Next song - wow, tough one as they have so many influential and excellent songs. Love “Into the Void”, “Symptom of the Universe”, “Hole in the Sky”, “Sweet Leaf” but I’m honestly missing many, many more. Next band to check out - Judas Priest.
I just watched this with my wife and we loved this! This album is my favorite of all time! And Black Sabbath is my favorite band of all time. I'm 45 and I discovered this old album when I was 13 in my mother's record collection. I saw the album artwork and took it to my room to play it. I've been in love with this song/album/band ever since. I'm really happy that you guys interpreted the song lyrics in the exact way they were intended. The song is mean to be a warning against evil. It's not promoting "being evil" They intend to write a song that would/might scare people like a movie scares people...well, they NAILED it and your reaction was awesome! Cheers! Sippingtons!
Lol I was looking for yalls channel tonight with no luck and got lucky when I searched sabbath reactions and yall were the right there. It's been a few months since I watched yall so now I can get a little marathon in. Perfect channel for when you're drinkin alone.
The Satan aspect was likely tied to the title of the song... "Black Sabbath" and the guy he was portraying as a vocalist is the victim they chose to sacrifice in that rite... That at least is how I always read it. It is basically a horror movie/story in music form. There was a guitarist, and a bassist, drummer, and Ozzy (Known as Jonathan Osbourne at the time). Toni Iommi the guitarist has a prosthetic on his fretting hand ring finger. You can see the bass player slapping the bass quite a few times... he was playing the picking hand with his fingers, and the guitarist was using a pick. This is actually the first song they wrote with this sound. That one riff kind of started what I consider Metal.
Iommi's boss at the time Iommi had his accident had no idea back then but when Iommi felt he was done for as a guitarist, his boss told him about Django Reinhardt and how his accident did not stop him. We owe Iommi's boss and Django Reinhardt a huge thank you for getting Iommi back on track to become the riff master.
@@RobBCactive - Heh that would still qualify as a prosthetic. It doesn't need to be purchased from a factory or lab to be qualified as such. It is amusing how he made them though. Pretty amazing actually.
It incredible that so many people are hearing the early sounds of Sabbath for the first time. The collective menace,the literal explanation of the subject. And Ozwald Osborne. They deliver.
First time seeing the video for "Black Sabbath". It looks like Spencer's Gifts used to smell when I was a kid. Was always worried I was going to be sacrificed if I wandered too far in... ;-)
Christopher Sims correct. The sooun they were trying to create. Was a much darker version of the Psychedelic genre. That was very popular when they first started out in 1968.
I just found your channel you Mr and Miss Sippington are AWESOME love you two just subbed and im a big metalhead and you Miss Sippington were talking about a dark heavy intro? Umm Slayer Reign in blood ,its pretty wicked tho so be ready lol ,keep up the great vids
Right there with y'all. Sipping on my warmed rum, kicking back for the weekend, enjoying your appreciation of this classic, and slow bobbing my head on the band that brought Metal music to the mass consciousness. PEACE
this is like a medieval morality play, warning people not to mess around with the devil. the message is "you'd better get yourself into church and repent while you can! have a little talk with Jesus so you don't wind up like the character in this song!"
Guitarist's (Tony Iommi) Ring finger the tip is a prosthetic he made himself. Still plays guitar as bad ass as he did. He cut the tip of that finger off before they made any of their music. Great guitarist and it is interesting he is wearing a prosthetic he made himself.
I like watching you two to listen this song. First of all, you sound like you can drink (we finns can drink too) and second , you two sound like you have brains of your own. Rare thing in this modern dark age. Much love and respect from metal capitol of the world, Finland \m/
Seen them live in 1972. This tune is my all-time favorite BS song. Used this tune, other tunes to intimate locals overseas, even other battalions in our area
WOW!! FINALLY Someone reacting to the First Song on SABBATH'S DEBUT ALBUM!! This song is about The demons trying to get him And Him not wanting to go in that direction but feels like he's being sucked him despite how fast he is trying to run from it!! Could be about drugs or other Evils of the World!! Many has taken this song Completely out of its context to satisfy their self righteous nature!! I'm sipping right now as I'm just beginning to watch this ! I've sang this song many times which freaked many out!! I'm 58 years old and still one of my Favorite Sabbath tunes!! This Ended the Hippy Peace Love generation which wasn't working so they decided to use a Doom and Gloom approach to get the same message across!! He's begging God to Help and Save him from the Evils of the World!! Most Sabbath songs written by Geezer Butler who came from a strict Catholic background!! Love your Reaction!! Spot On!! No Band back in 1969/70 Ever had a sound like this!!
This song is so heavy and dark and scary and awsome. Nobody did it better, or ever will do it better than Sabbath. I love this album cover, its got that creepy, scary, gothic, Blair Witch type of feel to it, which is perfect for this song and album.
Steph n Jay...yall are like the only family I have...love yall... if u watch again there's a Gibson lead, a fender bass, and drums,anb ozzy...I could play the trans rift years ago...it made my hands literally feel like they were gonna fall off... thanks for a good reaction... xoxo... Lew
Bless ya'll.... The Sabs come from Aston, Birmingham UK, formed in the early 60's. My fave band .... fave album? Master of Reality of course 🤘🎵🎶🎛️🏍️🏍️ I'm a UK guy, 56 yr old, I discovered these in 1979. Up the Villa...!
my babysitter played thid song when i was a kid scared the hell out of me ,love it now,the music is awesome,but in the end ,u pay ur dues :) there is 3 players :)
As young kids under 10, we had a stereo in the basement. my oldest brother had his bedroom down there. If you turned off the lights it was basically pitch black. Outside of his bedroom in the rec room was an old console stereo with radio and turntable upon opening the lid; speakers on left and right of coarse all built into the cabinet. There is a small indicator light about the size of a pencil racer head on the stereo and that is all you had in the whole basement and we would turn on this song with the rain and thunder and all. We thought it was cool and it creeped us out because as you say it is sinister and creepy sounding. We would have the volume up so the thunder would rumble little but it wouldn’t be real loud and then that first guitar chord came in blasting it would kind of scare the crap out of us.I remember my older brother and my cousin playing Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin in Cambridge Md.
Satan´s coming for the Sippingtons drinks cabinet and that hat too 👺😄 «The 3 notes» that this tune is built around...awesome and very effective. Lots of great music to explore in Black Sabbath´s catalogue. 1970-75 with Ozzy and then the Dio years.

I love how Ozzy is trying to pull the rhythm up in the first 2 verses but Bill and Geezer have it anchored to granite. It adds to the tension.
This song is a prophetic warning to all, your choices of pleasures of the flesh have a price whatever they may be.

WOW!! FINALLY Someone reacting to the First Song on SABBATH'S DEBUT ALBUM!! This song is about The demons trying to get him And Him not wanting to go in that direction but feels like he's being sucked him despite how fast he is trying to run from it!! Could be about drugs or other Evils of the World!! Many has taken this song Completely out of its context to satisfy their self righteous nature!! I'm sipping right now as I'm just beginning to watch this ! I've sang this song many times which freaked many out!! I'm 58 years old and still one of my Favorite Sabbath tunes!! This Ended the Hippy Peace Love generation which wasn't working so they decided to use a Doom and Gloom approach to get the same message across!! He's begging God to Help and Save him from the Evils of the World!! Most Sabbath songs written by Geezer Butler who came from a strict Catholic background!! Love your Reaction!! Spot On!! No Band back in 1969/70 Ever had a sound like this!!
Tony Iommi, Ma'am
is the guitarist.
Geezer Butler, bassist and
William Ward, drums and
Ozzy Osbourne,vocalist.
Welcome to my early teens. I bought this album and Master of Reality when they first came out. I now have the CDs in my car at age 67. Lol.
Awesome reaction guys !
Love you two! Autentic reaction--from an Italian friend!
BTW, you were the ONLY reaction to this for a long time....and it's one of the best Black Sabbath songs!
Its just so menacing.... its like you feel it.
This Song and album turne 50 years old on February 13th 2020.
so ahead of their time...
Ozzy one of the original heavy-metal headbangers
They literally invented heavy metal
The 🐐 couple of reactions ❤️🔥
You guys are awesome, always make me smile ☺️
This is the first song Osbourne ever wrote in his life.. Fantastic!!
The most important song off the most important album in rock history.
I like how he’s like “jus- just keep watchin!!”
Master Of Reality black Sabbath one of ozzys best albums.
this was in the charts along with Bridge over Troubled Water, keeping it going to no 1... Let that sink in....
This song is so heavy and dark and scary and awsome. Nobody did it better, or ever will do it better than Sabbath. I love this album cover, its got that creepy, scary, gothic, Blair Witch type of feel to it, which is perfect for this song and album.
Black Sabbath was a force of nature..
Steph n Jay...yall are like the only family I have...love yall... if u watch again there's a Gibson lead, a fender bass, and drums,anb ozzy...I could play the trans rift years ago...it made my hands literally feel like they were gonna fall off... thanks for a good reaction... xoxo... Lew
Bless ya'll....
The Sabs come from Aston, Birmingham UK, formed in the early 60's. My fave band .... fave album? Master of Reality of course 🤘🎵🎶🎛️🏍️🏍️
I'm a UK guy, 56 yr old, I discovered these in 1979.
Up the Villa...!
my babysitter played thid song when i was a kid scared the hell out of me ,love it now,the music is awesome,but in the end ,u pay ur dues :) there is 3 players :)
I just found your Channel. You both are awesome! And funny too 🤣 👍 😎💯🤘🤟
Steph n Jay, that is the song and the album that started it all. It influenced most of the hard rock music that came afterwards.
Heavy Metal is born and Ozzy the original headbanger.
Great editing for your video!
As young kids under 10, we had a stereo in the basement. my oldest brother had his bedroom down there. If you turned off the lights it was basically pitch black. Outside of his bedroom in the rec room was an old console stereo with radio and turntable upon opening the lid; speakers on left and right of coarse all built into the cabinet. There is a small indicator light about the size of a pencil racer head on the stereo and that is all you had in the whole basement and we would turn on this song with the rain and thunder and all. We thought it was cool and it creeped us out because as you say it is sinister and creepy sounding. We would have the volume up so the thunder would rumble little but it wouldn’t be real loud and then that first guitar chord came in blasting it would kind of scare the crap out of us.I remember my older brother and my cousin playing Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin in Cambridge Md.
Strings53 Notlob 😯 what an awesome memory
Satan´s coming for the Sippingtons drinks cabinet and that hat too 👺😄 «The 3 notes» that this tune is built around...awesome and very effective. Lots of great music to explore in Black Sabbath´s catalogue. 1970-75 with Ozzy and then the Dio years.
