People who don't like Black Sabbath never listened to Black Sabbath. Ozzy was something else in this era. All of them fantastic a top 3 band of all time to me. But Ozzy's voice possessed the mood and the music. It was all raw and powerful. And great!
Geezer Butler was the bass player and principal lyricist. He wrote this after being in Germany seeing all the US soldiers returning from Vietnam, they would stop there, all strung out on drugs because of their PTSD.
They got addicted to cheap heroine in Vietnam. It wasn"t necessarily from PTSD after being back. They would go to Germany to rehab before heading home. Quit embellishing the story.
Guitarist Toni Iommi, lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers of his right hand in a work accident at age 17. This is the hand he used for the fret-board, because he's left handed. He was told that he'd never play again, but he made himself some false finger tips, and learned to play with them.
The Birmingham area in England was a bit of a warzone in the late sixties. Heavy industry, coal miners, wreckage left over from the second world war. Thanks to the Marshall Plan, both Germany and Japan were the countries to come out the better from WWII, but in England people had to stand in line for food stamps while the 1948 Olympics were taking place in London. The misery and rebuilding throughout England, Scotland and Wales took decades and wasn't quite finished in the mid sixties, especially in heavily bombarded industrial zones like Birmingham. So, yes, there was an affinity there with war. Nice to see a couple of black dudes reacting to heavy metal, or the early symptoms of heavy metal. Cheers fellaz. Warm greetings from Belgium.
exactly. these guys reviewing this song know music well. its great to see people listen objectively and hear the messages and listen to this incredible music. Sabbath is much like some of what we hear from rap/hip hop, people singing about their situation and the challenges they endured
Pre Sabbath, Sabbath was called Earth and even further back, The Tolka Polka Blues Band. They played Blues and Jazz cover. One day standing outside their rehearsal hall which was across the street from a movie playing a horror movie. Geezer Butler said, "isn't it weird how people line up to get shit scared out them." The decided to start writing horror themed music. The movie was Boris Karlof's "Black Sabbath". The rest is legendary music, changing history.
They were the first ones to talk about vets dealing with addiction to cope with PTSD, before the government even had the term PTSD. At least that as my take on this song. Thanks for what you to do. I enjoy watching people discovering the music I grew up with.
They knew what PTSD was, it just was called different things in prior wars like Battle Fatigue, Shell Shock, Combat Fatigue, and Soldier's Heart to name a few terms used in the past.
Shell shock was a WWII TERM, flashbacks was a Vietnam term for what is today know as PTSD.. song goes through the start of the drug to the high and then when it wears off.. first reaction people to get that.
Metal is often misconstrued as evil or malignant when the truth is, it's reflective of society itself. I'm glad Sharron Osborne isn't banging on your front door already, keep the Ozzy era Sabbath coming.
Their studio engineers on these early Sabbath albums were insane. Every instrument rings out clearly. Had to be the best in the business during that time. Plus, they used all that warm-sounding, analog recording equipment.
The Time Signatures, within this Album, Are perfectly synchronized; with the last Song of 'Fairies Wear Boots' to a Warning of an upcoming push towards fascism from continuing wars
As a kid my best friends Brother n Law who was in NAM. He said everyone was getting high over there, and many guys came back with serious Heroin addictions, I think this is what Hand of Doom is about..(?) Bill Ward is playing swing drums here, said he grew up on Benny Goodman w Gene Krupa. As he puts it, he was playing "Orchestration" not just drums. Please do "Supernaut" "Fairies Wear Boots" or "Wheels of Confusion/The Straightner" THX guys, love the journey so far!
Neil Peart is the most skilled drummer ever. But Bill Ward is just powerful and athletic with raw feel for the skins I'm ok with anyone telling me Bill Ward is better. Just like Geezer Butler could be better than Geddy or Tommy better than Alex. I love em all.
Sabbath is so great,!!!Geezer Butler wrote the song after the band has observed an increasing amount of US soldiers arriving in England in the late 1960s after the Vietnam War with severe drug addictions. It's about them taking heroin to forget the atrocities of war, only for them to meet Death itself. try to see the concert in Paris 1970!!!! it's really awesome !
Behind the Wall of Sleep, is a very underated cut off there 1st album. Love how you two react, honest, intelligent reactions without being fake. Keepin it real!
Make no mistake, Sabbath is Pantheon. Check out the Live 1970 set in Paris... You won't believe how tight they sound live. You want to talk "scary", check out the song "Black Sabbath"... it's like an audio horror movie...
Great reaction to one of my absolute favorite tunes by Sabbath!! It's a funky deep cut that doesn't get the play that it deserves. Black Sabbath touched on the darker sides of life when most other bands were talking about love and flowers. The rabbit hole is deep and wide with this band...JUMP IN!! 🤘
Ned n Janet from Spain here. This is why we come back to check out your reactions. You both have your ears open and really hear the music. Yeah, Bill Ward's rimshot beat over Geezer's bass and Ozzy's voice set up the vibe. When Tony comes in with the crushing guitar it's GAME OVER. These boys were working class from a rough depressed factory town, they knew first hand about the various means of escape and the dead end life. This is a masterpiece LP.
Funny thing you say that the groove was heavy funk Bill Ward was a big fan of jazz and funk drummers so a lot of black Sabbath songs have jazz and funk and even blues influence in them through the drummer.
One of my favorite Black Sabbath songs and near the top. Behind The Wall Of Sleep/N.I.B. Wheels Of Confusion/The Straightener Megalomania Snowblind Hand Of Doom Killing Yourself To Live Warning The Writ Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Under The Sun/Everyday Comes And Goes Jack The Stripper/Fairies Wear Boots Black Sabbath A National Acrobat Symptom Of The Universe Thrill Of It All Warpigs/Lukes Wall Cornucopia Supernaut Iron Man Into The Void Solitude Electric Funeral
Thanks guys! I hope you will do this whole album. It was groundbreaking and these's not a bad song on it. It is definitely one of my desert island picks.
Great video guys really appreciate it! Sabbath was so pivotal in rock ‘n’ roll and heavy-metal and they were so influenced by blues and jazz you can hear it in the drumming especially. Bill Ward is a beast!
Hearing you say "That's OUR groove" puts a smile on my face. That's a timeless drum groove with a beat that is still seen in popular music today. Bill Ward was decades ahead of his time. This band is GOATed
Black Sabbath are nothing like what they were portrayed as in the 70's. They weren't angels , but they weren't as bad as they were accused of being. Paranoid is a game changer of an album. But their next album Master Of Reality set the Doom standard. Try After Forever, I think it will surprise you.
Welcome to the Black Sabbath fan club gentlemen, dope beats to the left, grooves to the right, a little darkness in the middle and like you said, a conscience. The best band of all time IMO. You should probably hear the tune that named them, "Black Sabbath" is the first song off their first album, Black Sabbath. It's dark, but epic.
I knew this one would hit. You 100% have to do the track "Into the Void" next. The lyrics sound as if they were meant for todays world. Like they could see 50 years ahead. This band man....
Throw a dart at any of the first five or six Sabbath albums and you got a real good chance of hitting an s tier song, and it's impossible to hit a dud. They pounded that metal into gold.
Coming from an Authentic Old School Sabbath fan.... Appreciate your take on the meaning and the delivery. You felt it like I did - just 40 years later.
The Godfathers of Metal. They created an entire genre in the span of four albums. The leap from what came before them to this sound is greater than any other band ever made. Only the Beatles were more revolutionary imo. And Geezer's lyrics were very cerebral, making them the most relateable of those early 70s bands.
Deep Purple's landmark "In Rock" came out only a few months after Sabbath's debut and is considered to be the first full-on Metal album. Also, the origins of Thrash and Speed Metal can either be traced back to it or their next, "Fireball". Blackmore later in Rainbow is responsible (or, depending on one's view, to blame) for Neoclassical Metal and Symphonic Metal. Just pointing out that Purple's and Blackmore's contributions to Metal are just as significant. If Gillan made Sabbath Deep, then what were they before when Geezer was the lyricist? Haha
@@bookhouseboy280 you right about all that 💯 but in most cases people will always remember that first Black Sabbath album and consider it the beginning of it all 🤙👊
I used to sing this to my daughter as a lullaby. No kidding. I was cradling her her in my arms, in a park one day singind away to her " Dum dum dum dum tsch tch tch tch tch tch dum dum dum...First it was the bomb...dum dum dum...Vietnam napalm dum dum dum disillusioning . dum dumd dum You stick THE NEEDLE IN!" I was getting some funny looks.
Hey, thanks for covering a deep-cut track that many who only know the "hits" may not have enjoyed before. In my 50+ years of experience, in many (most) metal/rock albums - it's the deep cuts less-popular tracks that really show the talent and pull you into a love relationship with the bands. This is a perfect example.
Sabbath were so far ahead of their time. I was lucky enough to catch their reunion twice in the 90's, and let's just say I didn't sit down once during it and was dancing my ass off the whole time! They are so relevant today, the subject matter that is, of their music. They were labeled "Satanists" and they sang about God, peace and love. NEVER believe the mainstream narrative about anything, and you'll be alright. Bill Ward is one of the best drummers, and Geezer Butler on of the best bassist, of all time.
I am mid 50's and have listened to them since I bought this exact LP at a tag sale when I was 12. They are the start and still one of the best metal bands to ever exist.
So impressed with how you guys nailed the nuances of that song. Amazing musicianship, often with a righteous message. A definite rabbit hole; they can really swing. Really enjoying your take on music; keep it up!
So glad you did this song, I only discovered it my self a couple of years ago and it's my favourite performance, so much passion and roar talent. You know they were really young when they performed it, early 20s I think. Keep up the good work 👍
I was born 28 years after this dropped and grew up on hip hop the slow bit of this song is so boom bap and the subject matter is about as og hip hop as you can get
Sabbath were working class ,so real honest aware ,head banging rockers with hippie values and a totally unique sound .Incredible and irreplaceable .As the years pass from the 70s when I first loved them I see more and more how totally unique and special they were .
Thanks for taking us all on this journey with you! I've loved Sabbath most of my life, but listening to it with you guys for your first time let's me experience it all over again like it was new! You both have such a great knack for dissecting the very essence of a track, and you keep me thinking fresh thoughts about songs I've treasured for decades! Thank you.
Most Metal music is actually thought provoking. Not writing about boy girl break ups, or how rich they are etc etc.... Sabbath was more socially responsible in their message then most pop artists. Iron maiden writes mostly about history or what we call human nature. Just check out Hallowed be thy name, Run to the Hills, The troopee etc etc . Yes, it's aggressive, but it is also thought provoking.
![WE LOVE IT! | FIRST TIME HEARING Black Sabbath - "Hand of Doom" [REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KVV9-mqFSbg/mqdefault.jpg)
People who don't like Black Sabbath never listened to Black Sabbath. Ozzy was something else in this era. All of them fantastic a top 3 band of all time to me. But Ozzy's voice possessed the mood and the music. It was all raw and powerful. And great!
"You push the needle in" and the guitar screams.
People don't think of "relentless funky groove" when they think of Black Sabbath; but they should.
That beat is nasty bro! All of them lol
SO NASTY!!!!!!
Sabbath put the groove in groovy
Geezer Butler was the bass player and principal lyricist. He wrote this after being in Germany seeing all the US soldiers returning from Vietnam, they would stop there, all strung out on drugs because of their PTSD.
Ozzy always spoke the truth
Ozzy wrote songs too, Geezer polished up many of Ozzy's song. Ozzy set the tempo to most of the song.
@@jerrystern11211Wrong
They got addicted to cheap heroine in Vietnam. It wasn"t necessarily from PTSD after being back. They would go to Germany to rehab before heading home. Quit embellishing the story.
I gotta say…reading all the comments on all your videos is one of the best things. So many stories and inside info, i love the internet!
Guitarist Toni Iommi, lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers of his right hand in a work accident at age 17. This is the hand he used for the fret-board, because he's left handed.

The Birmingham area in England was a bit of a warzone in the late sixties. Heavy industry, coal miners, wreckage left over from the second world war. Thanks to the Marshall Plan, both Germany and Japan were the countries to come out the better from WWII, but in England people had to stand in line for food stamps while the 1948 Olympics were taking place in London. The misery and rebuilding throughout England, Scotland and Wales took decades and wasn't quite finished in the mid sixties, especially in heavily bombarded industrial zones like Birmingham. So, yes, there was an affinity there with war. Nice to see a couple of black dudes reacting to heavy metal, or the early symptoms of heavy metal. Cheers fellaz. Warm greetings from Belgium.
Agree. England came off worse than the countries defeated with the lack of rebuilding the nation. Still suffering today from it really.
exactly. these guys reviewing this song know music well. its great to see people listen objectively and hear the messages and listen to this incredible music. Sabbath is much like some of what we hear from rap/hip hop, people singing about their situation and the challenges they endured
Pre Sabbath, Sabbath was called Earth and even further back, The Tolka Polka Blues Band. They played Blues and Jazz cover.

I'm 63...was a teen in the 70s...didn't we have the greatest music in the 60s and 70s...and the greatest cars too! Best time of my life!
Under the sun is fantastic
The entire Paranoid album is a masterpiece of pre-Metal music.
‘Snowblind’. ‘Fairies Wear Boots’. ‘Children of the grave’. ‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath’ and so many more.
P.S. Hippies made incredible music. 😘❤️
Don't forget Sweetleaf.
I don't think Sabbath thought of them self's as hippies head bangers maybe.
@@TerenceShortman not technically, no, but being anti-war, pot smoking, free love troubadours qualifies, imo.
All great suggestions!
@@gerhardbraatz6305 A love song about the sticky
They were the first ones to talk about vets dealing with addiction to cope with PTSD, before the government even had the term PTSD. At least that as my take on this song. Thanks for what you to do. I enjoy watching people discovering the music I grew up with.
As the government gave the vets no help when they returned...shameful!
PTSD was called "Shell Shock" at the time. That was normally only used for people that displayed physical reactions such as tremors.
They knew what PTSD was, it just was called different things in prior wars like Battle Fatigue, Shell Shock, Combat Fatigue, and Soldier's Heart to name a few terms used in the past.
Shell shock was a WWII TERM, flashbacks was a Vietnam term for what is today know as PTSD.. song goes through the start of the drug to the high and then when it wears off.. first reaction people to get that.
Conscious and righteous - you've summed up Sabbath in two words.
Metal is often misconstrued as evil or malignant when the truth is, it's reflective of society itself. I'm glad Sharron Osborne isn't banging on your front door already, keep the Ozzy era Sabbath coming.
😂 I will keep a look out for her.
God speaks to me through Black Sabbath!!!
Black Sabbath were many things. Heavy Metal pioneers was ONE of those things.
It's amazing how funky and jazzy early metal/hard rock could be
Their studio engineers on these early Sabbath albums were insane. Every instrument rings out clearly. Had to be the best in the business during that time. Plus, they used all that warm-sounding, analog recording equipment.
They used "that warm analouge" equipment because that is all that existed back then lmao, aint no DAWs around im 1970
I agree so much!
You guys get it. Totally.
The Time Signatures, within this Album, Are perfectly synchronized; with the last Song of 'Fairies Wear Boots' to a Warning of an upcoming push towards fascism from continuing wars
A conscious band that's righteous. Best I've heard it described. 100%
Sabbath are indeed Righteous - a perfect word for them. They fight the good fight always

I love Sabbath.
I don’t think I really noticed how groove oriented these Sabbath albums were until I watched reactions like this. I just knew I loved them.
ABOUT TIME BLACK SABBATH WAS THE ORIGINATOR TO SO MUCH SOUL!!
Bill Ward is grossly underrated as a drummer! One of the greats! Check out Symptom of the Universe, one of their most dynamic songs.
AGREED!!!!!! Bill Ward is the TRUTH!!
Probably my favourite rock drummer
Neil Peart is the most skilled drummer ever. But Bill Ward is just powerful and athletic with raw feel for the skins I'm ok with anyone telling me Bill Ward is better. Just like Geezer Butler could be better than Geddy or Tommy better than Alex. I love em all.
Bill Ward is the HEAT
ever this underrated sht... every drummer knows him and his talent... so why he is underrated...? these are ever the stpds comments of all...
Black Sabbath is AMAZING!
Trust me a long weekend of partying and Sabbath. Ringing in your ears HEAVEN
Symptom of the Universe is a must ....
Sabbath is so great,!!!Geezer Butler wrote the song after the band has observed an increasing amount of US soldiers arriving in England in the late 1960s after the Vietnam War with severe drug addictions. It's about them taking heroin to forget the atrocities of war, only for them to meet Death itself.
try to see the concert in Paris 1970!!!! it's really awesome !
No sugar coating straight to the point lyrics brilliant song.
Electric Funeral from this album is about Atomic War... Best Song on this LP is Fairies Wear Boots.
The Bass! This song is driven by Geezer. The Bass!!!
No one mentions it.
More Sabbath please ! Deep Deep 🐇 whole ! 🤘🏻
Back in the day they wouldn't play them on the radio but they got so popular they had to!
I love seeing people discover the depth of Black Sabbath and other rock bands.
Sabbath were deep and true talented pioneers of this music. Bands to this day carry their dna.
Behind the Wall of Sleep, is a very underated cut off there 1st album. Love how you two react, honest, intelligent reactions without being fake. Keepin it real!
Lovecraft!
Chill Bumps still ..since I heard this LP in 71 I was 16,..
Make no mistake, Sabbath is Pantheon. Check out the Live 1970 set in Paris... You won't believe how tight they sound live. You want to talk "scary", check out the song "Black Sabbath"... it's like an audio horror movie...

A Black Sabbath deep dive should be on EVERYONE's bucket list
So many troops became heroine addicts during the Vietnam War. That's what Ozzy is singing about in this song.

A MUST HEAR Classic & Vibe,, Black Sabbath "Planet Caravan"...TRUST ME!!
Great reaction gentlemen , well worth a sub
Thank you for watching!!
Sabbath is the music version of a Horror Show/Movie
Great video guys really appreciate it! Sabbath was so pivotal in rock ‘n’ roll and heavy-metal and they were so influenced by blues and jazz you can hear it in the drumming especially. Bill Ward is a beast!
You guy's are right on target with this one. As for messages ... check out Sabbaths tune 'AFTER FOREVER'.
Bravo guys...bravo.
"The Wizard" is another good one
Lord of This World, Planet Caravan would be dope sabbath to do next
You must be going through my favourite play list. What a story and the music matches the different stages of the story. Drumming is brilliant
Hearing you say "That's OUR groove" puts a smile on my face. That's a timeless drum groove with a beat that is still seen in popular music today. Bill Ward was decades ahead of his time. This band is GOATed

Well said my friend 👊
They wrote the song “After Forever” in response to being called Satanic. “Lord of this World” is another good listen.
Gotta do NIB by Black Sabbath next. Another super funky groove and is one of their best songs

Greatest concert ever. I saw the reunion tour also, with Pantera and Deftones opening for Sabbath.
I saw sabbath in 1978 was I was 12
Love your reviews. It’s fun to watch your journey and hear your insights
I had no idea. A great, relevant song by Sabbath. Excellent analysis and reaction. 🔥
*Love this one...and thanks for reacting to it. This one is one of my favorite Sabbath songs to play on guitar....Sweet Leaf is another.*

They were great when I saw them in concert back in the day...I'm 63 so I was able to see sooooooo many great bands!
They have so many great songs. They are considered the godfathers of heavy metal. One of my personal favorites is called Dirty Women. 😉
So glad you are doing more Sabbath, a great reaction lads.
You guys are so chill. I love that.
Keep doing Black Sabbath, you can’t go wrong. They’re one of the greatest bands of all time.

Damn you guys got alot to hear.........Love this
I was born 28 years after this dropped and grew up on hip hop the slow bit of this song is so boom bap and the subject matter is about as og hip hop as you can get
Thank you fella's for acknowledging my comments, it means alot to me. World peace will come thru Bob Marley, my opinion. Rock on Airplay Beats
I gotta say…reading all the comments on all your videos is one of the best things. So many stories and inside info, i love the internet!
Sabbath! Let's go! Hit up their first album when you have time. 💚🤙
Oh, hell yeah...
You would definitely love Into the Void by Black Sabbath
One of my Sabbath favorites. Planet Caravan is more chill but has great percussion.
"Children of the Grave", "Planet Caravan", "Into the Void" & "Tommorrow's Dream".

That's Exactly Why Black Sabbath & Led Zeppelin Are Considered To Be "The Founding Fathers" Of Hard Rock/Metal Music & They Both MORE Than Earned It.
I'm a noob here.... YOU DID IT!
