This is exactly what I imagined my high school music teacher doing at home when no one one was watching, about 40 years ago. Getting high, listening to metal AND commenting on the substance of what he was listening to. Happy 4/20 😊
I'd have to substitute English teacher as one of mine had a class project where each had to choose 2 songs, play them in class and discuss the meaning of the lyrics.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Fuck yeah dude same here 🤘🏼
Black Sabbath was my favorite band when I was 13. 50 years later, they are still my favorite band.
What are your thoughts on Led Zeppelin?
There is no expiration date on greatness!
You have lived your life correctly.
I still write metal and this was the album that set the metal standard, and I am 65, and my favorite on this album is Children of the Grave.
@@j.williams1774 awesome! Geezer is in a league of his own, like Gary Thain and John Entwisle.
Dude, that image of you hitting the bong while listening to Sweet Leaf was fucking priceless! Rock on, Doug! You are a hoot!
Sweet Leaf lyric: "You introduced me to my mind" This is one of the best lyrics ever written.
And he followed it up with the most incoherent forced rhyme - "and left me wanting you and your kind" - C'mon, Ozzy. Try harder.
Geezer wrote the lyrics
@@twelveeighteenofficial7487 You ever heard of kind bud? Genius just sheer genius! Which makes absolutely no sense (emilla) that a band that got this stoned out could write such brilliant compositions! And at the end he even says "I'll be your baby" like he even wanted pot to be his girlfriend!! HA HA
I'm familiar with the "Kine" Hawaiian strain - Dunno what you're talking about "kind".
@@zdenkonouzovsky6947 Fair enough. C'mon Geezer. Try harder. :D
Props to Doug for hitting a bong and still delivering music theory lessons
This is awesome, not gonna lie man you hitting the bong made my day hahaha
Yeah, me too! A pleasant surprise
No doubt, I had no idea Doug was a head! Go Doug
The best!
Brilliant 😁
Boom haha
Those first six Sabbath albums are just immaculate. Nobody's ever had a run like that, not even The Beatles.
Absolute perfection in metal history...Into the Void is a monster track an that riff...but too many highlights.
Uh…Led Zeppelin., maybe the Stones too but yeah Sabbath are the shit.
Tbh, I think both Beatles and Led Zeppelin fans would disagree and with good cause... :)
Fans of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Iron Maiden would disagree.
Black Sabbath is one of those bands to me that no one else is like them, you can pick them out in a minute. They also have a bunch of cool musical interludes in the middle of songs that are truly amazing. People I think underestimate them, but they were amazing musicians. Sorry I live in Colorado and was partaking alongside of you, this might have rambled.
No doubt, can pick them out in seconds. So thankful my older brother bought me my first Sabbath album at 13 lol 37 yrs later and still listening to them. Happy 420 ✌️😎
@@wendystout901 the structure of their songs is unmatched by any other rock band
Ian Scott from Anthrax in an interview said : "Tony Iommi wrote every riff there was to write, and everything that came after was just a derivative of it in some way, shape or form. But, for me, it all started with BLACK SABBATH". Tony is genius and even with his "disability" he managed to rock everyone out and arguably set the bases for any kind of metal, but we don't have to forget Geezer and Bill Ward even though he sadly doesn't get enough recognition. Long live Sabbath!
Hi Ignacio, I agree about Tony….played for years with Queen
He's like a superhero. A metal cutting accident sliced off his fingertips and caused him to invent heavy metal. Perfect origin story.
"every cool riff was done already by black sabbath. you can play it faster, or slower, or backwards, but they did it first". ROB ZOMBIE.
Ward/Butler were the prototype metal rhythm section. Few have matched their cohesion.
In a BBC interview he was told he was known as the RiffMaster,he quickly corrected the interviewer with “errrr,no,that would be Chuck Berry”
Lovely bloke in real life too.
I'm so proud of my home town band. Still listen to the early albums.
I think The Writ would make for a good analysis, one of Ozzy’s finest vocal performances.
the back story about the song is interesting too. You can hear how pissed off he justifiably was.
Nah...Sometimes I'm Happy.
Absolutely. Sabotage is a absolute gem start to finish and Ozzy's peak as a vocalist in my opinion.
Absolutely! The Writ is my favorite Sabbath song 👍
Megalomania, from the same album (Sabotage), as well. Both are underrated masterpieces.
Listen to "Into The Void" from the same album. It is considered the heaviest riff around by many people including pros like Pete Thorn who had a video about obtaining that sound.
“Into the void” is without a doubt the vheaviest riff ever written. When was that released? 1971? Mind-blowing.
Love that song. My mates had a Deth Metal band back in 1991/4, and did an awesome cover of it.
Maybe the heaviest riff in a small subsection of metal, but definitely not the heaviest riff out there. Still really well composed and a nice song though
Tony lost the tips of 2 fingers in a factory accident so instead of giving up on the guitar he came up with these false fingertips made out of leather and melted plastic. He also would use banjo strings on his guitar because they were easier to press down. Amazing how he found a way! And it gives the band such a unique sound. Love your videos!
Django Reinhardt had a similar accident where he was left with two fingers on his fretting hand.He became one of the greatest guitarists ever.With a tip of the hat to another guitar virtuoso"Necessity is the mother of invention."
Tony Iommi is the god of riffs. The music doesn’t need to be complex, he just makes it sound cool.
Thank you Doug❤️ you can prove that you can be an amazing musician and a stoner if you do it in the right way
One of the tightest bands ever. So good.
"Fairies wear boots" by Black Sabbath, is a great song about not doing things in moderation! Lol
that song is about some skinheads that were almost going to have a fistfight with the band sabbath. the track title is what sabbath thought of the skinheads. not trying to label anyone a fairy or a skinhead, but it was 1970, those were the words used.
All things in moderation....including moderation.
My favorite Sabbath song of all time!....next....Hand of Doom
@@ice-iu3vv The title is what the skins thought of sabbath because of their long hair. It also has psychedelic connotations
@@ice-iu3vv Not almost, there was a fight of sorts. Geezer came out the worst from being kicked with boots while he was down.
All Black Sabbath albums from the 70s are sacred. Effectively it was the band that created Heavy Metal. Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple also helped to create this musical style, but Sabbath is the main band in this regard. Sabbath: extraordinary excellence in every way.
all of the stylistic things that make metal metal, come from Tony Iommi. I hear people crediting Deep Purple and Zep too, and I love those bands, but they're just not metal. There's nothing much in those bands where you go, "that's metal, metal bands do that all the time". Tritones (other than a passing blue note), galloping palm muted pedal riffs, downtuning. It's all Sabbath. The only thing I can think of that's metal where I can't think of a Sabbath song that uses it is using the minor second interval. When Zep got heavy it was usually in Bonham's beat, not the riffage.
@@dylanadams1455 You are totally right. Iommi is the true creator of Metal. His genius and influence is immeasurable. I like countless bands of various styles of metal, including the most extreme ones, but Sabbath has always been my favorite and Iommi has always been my favorite guitarist. In the 80's I loved and still love bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Celtic Frost, Venom, Bathory, etc, etc, etc. But Sabbath has always been at the top of the game and always will be.
And yet they've always refuted that 'metal fatherhood'
@@dylanadams1455 ''When Zep got heavy it was usually in Bonham's beat, not the riffage.'' Sorry but that is simply wrong. As for influences on Sabbath both Geezer Butler and Ozzy both say that after Led Zep I came out they all 'spent months on our backs, stoned, listening to Zep I over and over'. In what world are Zep not classic heavy riffers? 'Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Immigrant Song, Achilles Last Stand etc etc etc are not heavy riffers? Really?? Are you deaf?! It may be true that Sabbath are the first truly pure Metal Band in that they stuck with it but Zep, though more diverse and progressive by nature, were the first band doing Metal SONGS. For we metal fans back then (ie before it became known as 'metal' in the MSM) Zep were the first and with their atypically slow 'Dazed and Confused' shared similar dark chords and sluggish doomy atmosphere to Sabbaths early classics. I love Slayer and KYUSS both massive Sabbath fans ! Dave Lombardo is rightly a massive Bonham fan and yes he really is the best drummer ever IMHO and Zeppelins ace in the hole!
You just put into words the way I felt for a large part of my life and could never explain to my friends who did not smoke the Sweet Leaf, thanks Doug, by the way Black Sabbath have been in my life since 1970 and I'm 65 now and still listen to them, Great Band. but I don't smoke anymore its hard to get over here in Ireland!!
I heard Canada busts shipments that were OTW too Ireland all the time
Not here in Cornwall.
In fact,the currant bun is out at the moment so it’s off to Mawgan Porth bay for some serious loafing and on the way,pop into a farmer I know and get a bag of tops from his most excellent polytunnels.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath will be on the car speakers,the beach will be inviting,I will find my rock and get stuck into the first spliff while the Atlantic crashes into rocks in front of me,bliss.
Will soon be legal in the UK,within 18mths i was told,the House of Lords always said they will veto but “lobbying” has reversed their opinion.
Wish I could help you friend.Its legal now in our sister state N. M. USA.Here in Texas I doubt legalization will happen but it's fairly easy to get.Hope edibles might help you.
Glad you took my suggestion Doug. It's the the perfect song for 4/20. I hope it doesn't get blocked.
*_"It's the the perfect song for 4/20."_*
I don't get it. What does 4/20 mean?
{:-:-:}
@@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095 4/20 is a holiday celebrating marijuana.
@@metalmark1214
Oh, OK, thanks. I figured it was some American thing, like "86 him" or something. So it's not based on section 4, paragraph 20 of some legalised cannabis law code? :D
{:o:O:}
@@ansfridaeyowulfsdottir8095 420 is code for weed.
This brings to mind a certain band by the name of Sleep... And their "short" little song Dopesmoker.
Happy 420 Doug. Glad the medicine helps you. Keep up the great reaction videos. Also as someone already said check out the song Fairies Wear Boots but my suggestion is listen to the version by the band Brownout. They are a band with a jazz horn section who does originals but they also did 2 albums of Sabbath covers with the horn section and it sound sooo good.
I enjoyed your 420 celebration last year with Bob Marley. Another great choice for this year. As some have suggested A Passage to Bangkok from 2112 would also make a great selection.
We only stop for the best...
Doug I love your vids, so informative to this non-musician but massive music lover. You pick greats songs I know like this beauty and you introduce me to some great tunes I don't know!
Many thanks, I’m thankful for your feedback and support.
Hooray! I love this song... I got so high to this song again and again and again
That intro was glorious! I NEVER SAW THAT COMING! Bravo Doug! Caught me completely off guard.
doug, your on spot, alot of rock is simple! Like your shirt says music is universal and everyone should all explore music to appreciated it.
It is my favorite day ever as it was the day I was brought into the world and I’m happy to be alive during the days of “Daily Doug” listening to music that informed my life’s direction in musical diversity 😮💨😮💨🤤🥁🥁🥁
Loved how you where rolling on one of my favourite metal songs instrumental-whise. Much love from germany. I adore your content dude
Beautiful! Thank you ⚘️
The sweet leaf got you high on Sweet Leaf. I love it! Especially when it helps you. It certainly works for more relaxation and insight in a certain way. Stay at your journey!
Timeless superb sludge riff.... Doug, all Ozzy period Sabbath is a must.... good explanation of the sensible use of cannabis too...
i have always loved this song!
Every day is 420 when you have a great bubbler with a slide !!!!!!
Your take on cannabis at the end literally put all my thoughts on the subject into words I never could. Very insightful and I agree 100% . Love your videos
Thanks for your personal comments Doug. I was 13 and opened presents on Xmas. Got Master of Reality, a blacklight, blacklight posters and incense. Magical. This LP had some excellent tunes for sure.
One of my all time favourite videos.
Haha hell yeah Doug, great song from one of the best bands ever, this whole album is classic!
Hand of Doom and Planet Caravan are trippy and epic too. Also i love to smoke and pick up my guitar. ^^
My favorite record ( and my favorite band) I have and certainly one of my favorite one to enjoy to🤘🏽💚💜🖤 love your channel, and you personally more than my “family”. You just open my mind even more to all of my favorite songs and bands. Your channel is so comforting and so are you Doug! Thanks so much🤗🌹
Ha haaa! “…imvibing…” 😂 Thanks for the awesome neologism, Doug! I’m going to use that a lot.
happy 4/20, Doug! loved this review, your reaction, and your choices. hugs from Oregon!
YES! 🤘🏽Happy 420 Doug! ✌🏽
Doug you need to dive into Black Sabbath. They paved the way for Hard Rock/Metal. Shit, they started it!!! Any group in the metal/speed/thrash.....whatever is heavy is owed to them.
Happy 4-20 to you & Megan from all the community of music lovers that watch your videos.
We thank you and bless you for these gems.
Dude, you're my hero Doug. 🙌
It‘s just incredible. Those tunes are more than 50 years old now and we are all still excited hearing this day by day. 🙂 What great job they did for us 🙃
Happy 4/20 Doug! Thank you for your work
Great review. You're the best, Doug. Thanks!
5:20 Tony and Geezer started tuning to C Sharp on Master of Reality to experiment (most credit it to trying to ease the strain on Tony's wounded fingers but that is apocryphal I believe), so their sound got even heavier!
You're correct on that. I can't find the interview now, but Tony has talked about this and they started tuning down around this time to help ease the strain on Ozzy's voice. He then said it didn't work, because Ozzy just started singing higher!
Looking at live boots from around this tour they had been tuning down various amounts from show to show - half-step down, whole step down, and of course they eventually settled on three half-steps by the time they recorded MoP. (Then, of course, they went back to standard for Technical Ecstasy...)
Good to see doug partaking in the old weed. Always knew he was cool
Old weed ????? No more comments from you !
@seancrowley1065 sweat leaf is 'weed' 'dope' 'ganja' 'green'. Listen to the lyrics
This was a great choice for 4/20. Hands down their best album. Into the Void is my favorite.
The best sounding Black Sabbath album, IMHO.
Dude, I really enjoy watching your reaction! Good stuff.
I'm lightning a fat ass joint right now to watch the video man, happy 420! 💚✌🏼
BLACK SABBATH HEAVEN AND HELL just turned 42! Give Heaven and Hell a listen! DIO DIO DIO!
For real. I never tried it until college. I remember lying between the speakers of my stereo and listening to a "Hearts of Space" CD. I felt transported and very giggly. It was fucking awesome. I "highly" recommend their CD series. Their stuff is amazing and very random, so you never know what is coming. All good.
9:20 I love this guy trying to describe being "high," lmfao!!
This was the 'Garage-turned-party-den' theme song. Old couch, blacklight posters, cable spool table... 3 or 4 rips from the bong... I'm 15 again (for a minute). Thanks Doug.
Thanks Doug for the reaction and your openness
I've watched alot of people have reactions to black sabbath and other bands but I have to say I really enjoy listening to your thoughts as a musicain/composer even songs that I have listened to for years you seem to find tthings I haven't noticed before.
Doug my friend......im liking this 4:20 side of you .....explains the open minded brilliance in you sir
There's a few reactions to this song on YT. To be honest, I'd have expected more, but at least some are there.
Great that Doug is doing this, even if it's at 4am my time. The sweet leaf will ensure I'm sound asleep at that time!
Hope you all enjoy the song, the great mans' reaction, and....whatever else ;-)
One of my all time favourite Black Sabbath songs!
Awesome! Great album definitely should check the hole thing out!
Doug, you have to stop doing that 🤣🤣 !!! Every time you inhale, I do too ... and unfortunately, I'm not "with", if you know what I mean and don't know anyone to "be with" anymore, if you know what I mean 🤣🤣. Seriously, love the reaction. It was a hoot. Been loving this song since it came out.
cheers, my man. God bless you and all of us!
"You alright?! I learned it by watching you!"
My favorite band lets gooo!!
In my early 30's I had severe stomach pain, turned out to be gall stones. This was the mid 80's so it required major surgery. The surgeon showed me the stones, 3 were about 1/2" diameter along with many smaller pieces. He wondered how I stood the pain that size stone would cause, didn't tell him I was staying quite high.
it's nice to see you really starting to open up and relax more and enjoying ing The Rock the way that it was meant to be
Well, that was a trip down memory lane! It took me back to seeing them live in concert in 1978! Thanks for the memory Doug! Great choice! ;-)
Didnt know that about the cough. Awesome. I've had this album for about 30 plus years. Amazing what you can find out on the internet, eh.
As a generations deep farmer from Indiana, raising and consuming "weed" was common in my area...at least I thought it was. I also thought everyone listened to The Godz, Black Sabbath, Black Oak Arkansas, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and such. Blowing the smoke into the camera with a 😏 (smirk)...top notched....
Doug you absolute mad lad!
Happy Holidays, boys and girls!
Love this song!
Black Sabbath are an amazing band to see in concert.
Doug with the bong rip, hell yeah
more sabbath reactions woo!
A truly ground-breaking album. The true precursor to metal. Nobody at the time sounded like this.
Happy 420! 😎
Well that was the best Black Sabbath reaction you've done. Because of the props.
Doug omg those were gangster hits and you held I sooo long bro 4/20
'Ole Audiophile to D.Doug, Great pick, great pan, great show bub. I've seen 10 or more of yours, sir. My lone comment on this effort of Sabbath was very minor. It proceeded After Forever, my very favorite track from this recording & a direct thumb in the eye of all those who call Sabbath evil. Thanx.
Happy 420, from Michigan!
My favorite Doug video lol
bruh when you pulled up the piece i DIED!
Watching this being played - LIVE - oh boy!
Perfect choice for 420. 🤘😎🤘
Happy 4/20, Doug! 🌱
TY Doug! Loved it. For me the Penultimate "trippy" Sabbath is of course "Planet Caravan," from the iconic album Paranoid.
Happy 420
Happy 420 Doug!
Happy 420. Such a joyous day!
Black Sabbath are a lot more accomplished than many later metal bands, Geezer Bill and Tony all cut their teeth in jazz bands. One of the elements of the "doomy" sound is that descent from the fourth to the maj third to the min third.
That was too good, a little Sweet Leaf on 4/20 🤣
Happy 4/20 😎🥳🤘🏼
Love the bongos hit, during the show.
I loved my 420 holiday today 😎
