The guitarist is Tony Iommi. Bassist is Geezer Butler, drummer is Bill Ward and the singer as you prolly know is Ozzy Osbourne.
ᕼᑌᗰᗩᑎ ᖴᗴᒪᒪᗩ exactly❤️
The video is completely fan produced. Don’t look for meaning there. It’s very high on production value but it’s decades late to the party. The song is far simpler than that but still awesome. And yes... Tony Iommi. A straight up God of Guitar. But don’t discount the rest of the band. Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, and Ozzy who had to compete against a stack of gained up Laney amps every night.
You should repeat this with a lyrics version because they deserve the attention. Tommy's a left handed player, but more uniquely he lost the tips of two of his fretting hand's fingers (mid+ring fingers on right hand) in a teenage sheet metal accident : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Iommi
Tony made more money
so that he could afford to
buy himself a left-hand
Gibson SG.
WHATS WRONG WITH U PEOPLE THAT IS NOT THE VIDEO CO ON THE TUBE WATCH SABBATH PLAY THIS
It is a anti war song first of metal history there from England God fathers of all Metal
Great group I remember in 1970 was 4.im 53 now still love.my grandad was from England.
Please ignore that video it was just some stock footage and has nothing to do with Black Sabbath.
Any version with this video needs to be pulled off youtube. Almost every reactor uses it instead of the ones with lyrics which would be much better.
bloodnthunder ❤️👍
@@madcracker84 I've been wanting it pulled for a long time. I've put messages on the video itself. NOTHING to do with band or song. More people need to comment to get that video removed. As you stated, people are reacting to non-related video.
Here's my take: I don't mind the video as an abstract reinterpretation of the song, or maybe as a compliment to what the video makers were trying to say. That's fine. It happens a lot with powerful classics like this. Hollywood does it all the time, and often to much worse effect.
I just wish it wasn't mistaken for an official, sanctioned video--as though it has anything to do with the _actual_ intent of War Pigs.
The guitarist's name is Tony Iommi, who lost some fingertips in an accident at a industrial facility. That didn't stop him from becoming an iconic guitarist.
This song is basically about how governments who start wars for their own gain, but won't actually fight in it. They'd rather send us commoners out there into the Hell.
The shorter fingers allowed him to play note combinations that no other guitarist could match.
Thomas Maresh-- That's a myth.
"War Pigs" was written during the Vietnam War, and the Cold War. The song had meaning to young Americans, because the draft was still in place, and wealthy and powerful families could find ways to keep their adult children from being drafted into the US Armed Forces, while poor people had to be drafted, then fight and die in the war. During the Cold War, there were a lot of "proxy wars" all over the planet at that time, often taking place for control of oil fields, and precious metals mining interests. That is what Black Sabbath was angry about in this song.
Hard to believe this song is nearly 50 yrs. old! The message still holds up in present day. The video is cool and all, but yes, the lyrics and song are the real things that you need to focus on.
Pioneers of everything metal that you hear now and since. Black Sabbath laid the groundwork.
Great reaction, once again!!
System of a Down Toxicity album review!?!? 🙏🏼
Meyzen76 wow didn’t know it was that old. Learned something new thanks
You can listen a very bluesy feel to it
Linette, I know you don't
listen to high powered
rock music but given a
chance it'll grow on
you.
Meyzen76: For a song's content to still be relevant nearly 50 years after it's initial release, it has proven to be truly timeless. I feel that it is very sad; that when it comes to war, society has not changed very much, if at all.
Well, yeah. And it still will be timeless in the future i am afraid.
Sabbath played loud music, but they weren't as satanic as Coven were before them. They weren't fans of that witchcraft thing. And they were right. Who needs wizards, goblins and witchcraft as the same time horrible things happen to our world such as war?
Tommy Iommi: guitars
Ozzy Osborne: vocals
Geezer Butler: bass guitar
Bill Ward: drums
Tony*
Tony Iomi...the God Father of heavy metal
I beg to differ Jeff! Black Sabbath came AFTER Led Zeppelin! Jimmy Page IS THE GODFATHER OF METAL!
@@donnajohnson6867- No, Jimmy didnt shred ...Iommi started shredding
thats what he thinks!
@@donnajohnson6867 they are both gods as far as im concerned. Throw in Ritchie Blackmore and you have three of the best ever to lead bands into greatness in the 70s!
@@wasntme9578 cough,cough David Gilmour cough
The video is actually a horrible creation that matches the lyrics slightly in abstract. The song came out in Sept. 1970. The video always throws everyone off. The version with the lyrics is the best. You wouldnt have any questions. The lyrics are quite powerful and timeless. Basically anti-war, but with all songs, it's best to make your own interpretation. I'll post them below if you want to read them.
I've missed you guys. It's been a minute too long lol.
Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord yeah
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role for the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds,
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess,
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah
Now in darkness world stops turning,
Ashes where the bodies burning
No more War Pigs have the power,
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling,
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah
Stargirl Tarot You are brilliant!Thank you for providing the lyrics for them!
Stargirl Tarot yo are correct the video did threw me off. I didn’t know this came out 1979
That's very kind of you Ralph Ottey. I had to help my peeps out. I really dislike that video. A few other reaction channels have used the same video, and they all have this same confused reaction. In my opinion this horrible video takes away from the powerful message of the song, not to mention the incredible genius, and talent of Black Sabbath, and why they are so revered by the heavy metal community. It's a travesty of justice lol.
@ Step n Jay Lee, yes, Black Sabbath basically invented heavy metal. Here's an interesting fact; it was released on September 18th, 1970. The same day Jimmy Hendrix died. Pretty crazy. Have you reacted to anything from Jimmy Hendrix? There are no words to even describe him. Stevie Ray Vaughn covered a few of his songs. Hes another on an insane level. Very bluesy. So much soul for a white man that its mesmerizing lol. Its hypnotic watching him play.
This is an anti-war song which came out during the Vietnam war. The guitarist name is Tony Iommi considered by most to be the founder of heavy metal guitar riffs. Black Sabbath were trailblazers and considered the first heavy metal group. The lyrics of this song are hard-hitting and still ring true today. This is a Timeless classic
Man I wished yall guys had watched the video with lyrics. This video doesn’t match up to almost anything the song is about. Way more impactful with lyrics 😕 still thanks for this!!
WTF are you talking about?! This video describes most of the song's messages and symbolisms! It shows the politicans high in their halls plotting destruction, the common poeple working making weapons, suffering and dying as a result of the war, being treated as pawns in chess and all that. It fits pretty well with the song.
I think is a video depicting 1984. which was written by George Orwell.
@Goka Gola Gommunism the signage on the wall looks similar.
The live version from their concert in Paris in 1970 is great.... that whole concert is legendary ...on RUclips
Jay Edwards: I love those Paris videos, they're so raw. You really get the true sense of who they were at the time.
1970 paris is the best.
The beginning of heavy metal
richard dimeck Meh. Same year, same band, different album. But two out of three!
Not true
The original lineup of Black Sabbath, heard here is Tony Iommi on guitar, Geezer Butler on bass, Bill Ward on drums and OZZY Osbourne on vocals. Clasic song that unfortunately remains timely almost 50 years later. Mankind will never learn.
Before the actual horror show of " Meet the Osbournes" there was once a man called Ozzie Osbourne....and he led a band called Black Sabbath.. I loved the reactions of these peeps...in every way...great video.
I like this reaction it actually looks like they never heard this song before
Lets not forget how bad ass Billy Ward is on drums here. Truely one of the all time greats.
I love your vids, but you guys have to stop watching fanboy vids that have zero to do with the actual song...
Try searching lyric videos instead of just a random search of the song title.
Agree, go lyrics or pictures video , distracting videos made by kids put to classic rock songs for cheap views is yesterday’s news
shaitanlavey: IMO, fan made videos are the worst way to be introduced to any band's music. Studio version, official video, live, or lyric videos are all better choices, than the random fan videos. For another example; there is a certain Pink Floyd fan video that gets way too many reactions and the reactors are always distracted from the lyrics and music.
This video is anti war and that is EXACTLY what the band says the song is about. You should read the lyrics yourself, geesh doesn't take an english professor to understand what they are saying.
I remember Black Sabbath in 1970 when I was 4.My. brother Barry use to play them back then .He passed away July 16.2019 miss him.He wad63.
Kp
Guitarist is Tony Iommi.
Founding member and ultimate riff-writer.
Had industrial accident, lost two fingertips. Painfully fashioned new way to play and string his guitar.
OG of heavy metal music.
One of my most favorite songs of all time.
That nasty bass though
bass, lead/rythm guitar, drums, and vocals; all nasty as a ukrainian porno.
@@z-z-z-z I watch eskimo porn....
Geezer is an all time great. Very underrated. Never seems to get mentioned when people talk about the greatest bass players but should be held right up there at the top with all the greats.
@@chrisd913 very true
All masters of their instruments and Ozzy's vocals are unmatched
Tony Iommi is the guitarist. Without him and his putting together this band of iconic musicians into one amalgamation by his own hand, I don't think we would know the half of it.
I first listened to this in 1977 when i was 8 years old......still listen to it at age 49!!!! 😃😃😃😃
The symbolism of the girl on the steps is "she is dead but she is free" The politicians start the wars ,and then run to the hills
Tony Iommi
He is the sound of Rock n Roll.
He had an accident when he was working and his tips of his fingers were cut off.
He didnt let that stop him from playing the guitar..he used metal thimbles on his tips of his fingers and CREATED the distorted heavy sound...the rest is history.
The song came out in 1970 and the Vietnam War had become increasingly unpopular at that time. The band were saying that poor folks are sent to war by rich politicians who don't feel much personal loss for all the deaths they are actually responsible for. The guitarist, Tony Iommi, lost the tips of two fingers at a sheet metal factory when he was 17 but didn't give up his dream of becoming a musician. Five years later this song came out, making him a world-wide legend.
the guitar player was Tony Iommi, recorded in 1970. several years before this recording Tony lost the tips of 2 of his fingers on his fret hand, on the neck. He crafted some fake tips and has played for over 50 years that way. the singer was Ozzy Osbourne.
Tony iomi is the guitar player. Ozzy Osborne is the singer. Great song! Black Sabath were pioneers of Metal. Good choice.
The guitarist is Tony Iommi. He cut off the tips of his fingers when he was 17. And he became the father of heavy metal (riffs). Amazing. I saw him live. Jawdrop.
One of the most powerful anti-war songs ever written.. and the drums .. and the riffs. It's not to hard to understand .. listen to it again a few times. War pigs have the power.. and still do today
Only three words:Timeless, Epic and 🔥🔥🔥
Their best album spanning career is Sold our souls for rock and roll. This song is from 1969.way ahead of their time.
The video and the song have nothing to do with one another it's unfortunate you got caught up in the video.
Scott Diehl oof right everytime I see someone react to this I’m always hoping it’s not the damn video lmao
Group is black sabbath. Guitar player tony iommie. Singer ozzie osborne. Song is anti-war. Back in 1970s it was anti-nuclear war. Girl in video means...you cant kill freedom.
Bill Ward on the drums is a beast.
Tony Iommi (Guitarist) has a prosthetic finger and back when they did this song it was one he made himself. He is already amazing, but that just raises the bar.
When Toni Iommi worked in a factory before the band he accidentally cut off the tips of his fingers in a press , so he melted plastic on the ends of his fingers. That's what gives his playing that distinct sound, he still does it.
FRED FREAS 😮
One of the greatest rock albums of all time.
Something about that "Raw" late 60s early 70s sound that has so much power every time. "Just like witches at black masses". Jammin Hard!
Basically Tony Iommy lead guitarrist and only guitar player in Bkack Sabbath, is the man who created the sound of heavy metal in the end of 60s.
This song is from the first ever heavy metal album in 1970 (my birth year) and the lyrics was written in the worst moment of Viet-Nam war, that point is relevant for the lyrics.
Greetings from Medellín-Colombia.
This is how we expressed our dislike of war.
Very powerful and still rings true today
The beginning of metal!
if enough of us report this goddam fan-made video, maybe it'll get removed? lol
The album from whence this song derives was supposed to be called "War Pigs" but due to this songs lyrics the record company were told to change it to "Paranoid" despite the cover being printed with the actual war pig on the cover. It was released to soon after the Vietnam war. It's about how politicians send us to war and use us as pawns whilst they remain safe and get rich doing just that.
War Pigs,It is so appropriate to what is happening today,Geezer Butlers prophetic words,An absolute classic that is oddly,timeless
Great song, a Black Sabbath absolute classic.
This song was made for, and came out during the Vietnam War. Tensions were very high, here at home in the States but, also every where else. We had riots all over the States, protesters killed in Berkley Univ. We had already lost over 1/4 of a million Black and White Men Fighting for a war we had no business being involved in. Ozzy wanted to express his view of the war.
The guitarist is Tony Iommi. He is a legend. He was playing that guitar minus the fingertips on his frett hand.
Hi guys, this song was written about the Vietnam War, released in 1970, how the politicians sent poor men to war to fight an unjust war. It also speaks of the protests that went on during that time, and the unnecessary deaths that happened during that war. A lot of songs from 1968 to 1972 were about the Vietnam War, and what was happening in the world at that time.
great reaction.
the words that I noticed in the video were 'work' ,'terror' and at the end 'freedom'.
50 years later and nothing has changed.
Raw and flawless equals perfection.
This song was originally done by the English band Back Sabbath. It was a protest song against the Vietnam war.
Tony Iommi is the guitarist and Ozzy Osbourne the lead singer.
Ioannis Kostoulas 😱 Ozzy
The song was inspired by the Vietnam War. Geezer Butler recalled to Mojo in 2017: "Britain was on the verge of being brought into it, there was protests in the street, all kinds of anti -Vietnam things going on. War is the real Satanism. Politicians are the real Satanists. That's what I was trying to say." Geezer Butler, bass player and lyric songwriter for black sabbath
p.s. new subscriber
I love how people are still discovering black Sabbath. And the guitar is tony iommi the bass guitar g Butler and ward is on the drums and Osbourne is lead singer
Guitarist- Tony Iommi, Drumer- Bill Ward, Bass - Geezer Butler, And Lazy Osbourne. These men brought the meaning of early Rock. Masters of The Universe.
Toni Iommi. Black Sabbath. John "Ozzy" Osbourne singing. Geezer Butler on bass. Bill Ward on drums.
I frigging love Bill Ward's drumming on this song. He beat his drums like they'd stolen money from him or something to War Pigs especially.
The legend guitarist Tony Iommi.. Founding father of metal music.
I'm watching this one....waiting for your face on the first break.
And there it is.
It hits almost every person that ever heard it.
It's a sad, sad song, because it's true and every person that hears it, feels it. Even if the music isn't for them.
Powerful people, and they got us all. Wrapped up. Locked in. Cradle to the grave. The powerful people use us to fight their wars.
Toni Iommi and he lost the tips of his middle and ring fingers in a work accident at a sheet metal factory but that didn’t stop him from being named one the greatest guitarists of all time
Ozzy’s vocals in this blow me away.
Tony Iommi is bad ass. Loved all the changes in their music!
This is one of the very few bands that need to be seen. Those guys are Artists, legends, and trend setters. Look up the Band, you will be glad you did.
Black Sabbath in their day was a very controversial band. They were called all sorts of things from Satanists to anarchists but in the end, 50 years later people are still being moved by lyrics that are as relevant today as they were then. Isn't' music a wonderful thing, a little bit of someone soul for the rest of us to share. Thank you Ozzy and all the other pioneers that said F' it, this is good!
Tony Iommi ,an outstanding left handed guitarist.The film is a reminder of the British author's classic novel 1984. A story of war and oppression,worth reaching.Greetings from Amsterdam.🇳🇱🥁🖐️ps.the author is George Orwell.
It's funny watching these two and understanding where the term "head banger's" comes from.
Tony Iommi -- the master of the heavy metal guitar riff! That's all you need to know!
The song is basically saying that war = $$ and soldiers are pawns to be used and discarded by politicians for power.
This song is amazing.
It was released in 1970..... To me that's the most important fact because it's 50 years later and still rings true.
This is Ozzy Osbourne with original Black Sabbath in 1968!..Amazing!
Oh great! Another reaction video,i see people enjoying Black Sabbath,easy like ,keep enjoying,was headbanging with you
I love the drum beat in this song too...very powerful...awesome song
I know someone mentioned tony. But theres a secret to his sound. He hand the tips of his fingers cut off in a factory accident and had to waer leather tips. But the rifs are do to the need to tune the guitar a full step down. This essentially created the tone of heavy metal.
Also this song is really about the pawns that people play in the games of power and wealth with the empires of the world. Its so deep.
Toni Iommi on guitar, Ozzie Osborne vocals, Geezer Butler on base guitar, and Bill Ward on drums
Tony Iommi was a sheet metal worker and he lost the tips of 3 of his fingers in a work accident. He thought his guitar playing days were over until someone gave him an old record of Django Reinhardt (1920's to 1950s Jazz Guitarist) who lost 2 fingers in a fire. Tony had someone make him prosthetic fingertips and they are part of the reason his style evolved the way it did.
Bill Ward the drummer grew up in a household with a lot of Big Band Swing records and describes his style of drumming as being heavily influenced by big band swing drummers.
Ozzy got the gig with the band because he had his own PA
They started out as the Polka Tulk Blues Band, then changed their name to Earth but on finding out some band already had that name was looking for a name. A cinema across the road from where they rehearsed had a Spaghetti Horror film starring Boris Karloff called Black Sabbath and the rest is, as they say, history.
Ozzy Osbournes first band...
Tony Iommi on guitar an plays it with two or three missing fingertips from his fretting hand...
Geezer Butler on bass....
Bill Ward on drums
the guitarist actually lost his fingertips in a metal working accident shortly before they had a gig where some music industry ppl would be and he took, i believe it was bottle caps and formed them to fit his damaged fingertips to help with their sensitivity and he tuned down his guitar so the strings weren't so tight. It lead to their sound, that many say, is the birth of heavy metal. I grew up in the PMRC era and i remember how everyone wanted to label them as devil worshipers and would quote lines like "and satan laughing spreads his wings" but they wouldnt read out the rest of the lyrics. It gives me hope that adults now can objectively listen to songs like these and actually get the point. Back in the day the adults were still drinking the american apple pie cool aid and i guess they couldnt see the truth because it would crumble the foundations of their lives.
Bill Wards drumming on this track is funking amazing
She is Freedom. Watching people die for her, trying to comfort the fallen. And when the authoritarians become powerful enough to try to execute her, she climbs the stairs of the citadel to defy them. Notice that the white blindfold of innocence changes to the blood red scarf of revolution. Like the lyrics to the song itself, a strong, simple message that has been true for 4000 years.
rohmarts wow 😮
Oh no! One of the all-time classics, and you've got that awful video distracting you. :-( Not that it's actually awful, but it really has nothing to do with the song, and was created by someone completely not affiliated with the band or the music in any way, much much later. There are a few lyric videos out there which are SO much better for a first listen. Sorry, not your fault, hope you like the song though (because it's a classic for a reason) and give it another listen with the lyrics in front of you.
neils123 🤗
I just want to throw this out there... You 2 seem like fun, genuine people :)
Living in a Country that has a media doing it's best to try and get us to hate each other. I stumbled upon the blessing of you two. A lovely black couple listening to white music with an objective spirit. Thank you .
😊
Congratulations. You have just discovered the origin of heavy metal. Black Sabbath will always be the ones who set the bar.
Tony Iommi is lead guitar, Bill Ward
is drummer Ozzy Osbourne is singer. Geezer Butler is bass guitar
You will find interesting about the guitarist, Toni Iommi, that not only is he left handed, but when he was younger
the end of his fingertips on his middle two fingers were cut off in an accident. and he plays with plastic finger tips
on his right hand. A very unique guitarist.
Singer is Ozzy Osboune ,Guitarist Toni Iommi , bassist Geezer Butler , Drummer Bill Ward they are all legends as the band they have so many great songs. They are one of the innovators of metal . Great reaction you really should do more Black Sabbath.
TONY IOMMI...is the guitarist...hes missing fingertips..look it up its amazing
Black Sabbath: Nationality: British from Birmingham
Voice: Ozzy Osbourne
Guitar: Tony Iommi
Bass Guitar: Geezer Butler

In 1970 as this song came out they looked like this:
ruclips.net/video/0qanF-91aJo/видео.html
That song "Paranoid" is also a classic and the LP´s title-song of that
album release where you also find the song "War-Pigs" which was a song
against war in the time where the Vietnam war was still going on. That
video is just an abstract interpretation made decades later.
God, I love you 2.... I've listened to this for 40 years... Only difference, you folks had your jondra... We had ours, all music with a message doesn't matter what black or white we are all from the same cloth.... Death , destruction, and it doesn't matter who you are ( are you here to b used) all goverments are the same... Black or White.... We are just cannon foder
I officially give up on waiting for you guys to react to metallica's video for "ONE"
Johnny got his gun Dalton trumbo
I almost choked on my food when I woke up and seen u uploaded this thank you so much gr8 reaction and lead singer is Ozzy Osbourne guitarist is Tony Iommi bassist is Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward
Ozzy saw what the world had become so long ago, that's why his music was censored all over the world. Ozzy big fan!
Read the words with it...I LOVE YOU GUYS FOR DOING BLACK SABBATH/ OZZY
Why doesn't anybody ever notice that insane bass track ?
Every member of Black Sabbath were somehow effected by the WWII. The Black Country of Birmingham, England was instrumental in the English “war machine” as it was a steel mill area. Tony Iommi (lead guitarist) lost a fingertip in his youth while working on a steel press. The members of the band have said that music was the ONLY WAY OUT of the Black Country or else you were stuck there working the steel factories! ☹️
That song when I first heard it nearly 50 years ago was chilling. And to this day every time I hear it it's chilling 😬
the song came out in 70,we had come through WW2,Korea and Vietnam,Its about the perpetual wars we live in,the mass slaughter,Iraq,Libya,Afghanistan,Yemen,El salvador,and coming soon to our TV screens,Venezuela,and on judgement day the people who perpetrated these obscenities will be sent straight to hell
This was their best I think...I love Sabbath...they were great when I saw them! I just saw your channel today...but I've been a life long rocker...I know a lot lol.
Black Sabbath was another great band!
