Bill Ward - cream of drummers. This is prime Black Sabbath, the passion of a live performance. And note that Bill's drum kit is tiny compared to today's drummers.
Got to sit on side of stage when they performed at Madison Square Garden during song" Ironman" ...Frank Zappa was in town and introduced the band and everyone went crazy..nice surprise for everyone 😁this was latter 70's
@@PML78 It took them a while to get the lyrics all worked out, you can click on 4 early live performances and essentially get 4 different versions of the track
@PML78 this version is when the song was called "Walpurgis", especially prominent in the second verse before the chorus. This performance had the original lyrics

@@seelenwinter6662impossible to even make comparisons as each of the bands you named are iconic and are equally famous. Every band has their own notable style and esp their drummers ans guitarists. They're a the best of the best. Not cool to try to put 1 over all.
War pigs and Children of the grave are especially poignant right now. It’s quite tragic that 50 years later we’re still hopelessly stuck in the same cycles of war and destruction.
I can’t explain the impact this band had on my generation. At the time I was a senior in high school looking Vietnam in the face. Black Sabbath was exactly the band we needed. I get the sweats every time seeing this video. Thanks.
Remember, there was no such thing as the genre of "Heavy Metal" at this time. -You could say, Black Sabbath was the first Heavy Metal Band. That term wasn't even used until the mid 70s, I think. While I wasn't a huge Fan of these guys, you have to admit, they were way ahead of their time. I was 14 years old in 1970, and I'm now 68. Man, time just flies by.
The term actually came from the 1968 Steppenwolf song Born to be Wild but I'm not sure how long it took to actually become a moniker for the genre at large. It could be argued that some late Beatles tracks and some Hendrix tracks qualified as heavy metal before the genre broke out proper with Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly, and Steppenwolf. But all those other bands covered a more diverse range of rock music, while Black Sabbath has always played what we now classify as metal even before that term was commonplace. So I think it's proper to call Sabbath the first true heavy metal band, as long as we give the other founding fathers their credit as well.
You nailed it. Being 67 and growing up with all of this, I completely agree. I bought “Are you experienced” in ‘67 and was just blown away by Purple Haze. A writer around that time characterized the song as, metal raining down like rain. And of course as you mentioned, Heavy metal thunder, in Born to be wild. Along with the sounds of some other very heavy sounds of the late sixties. Great stuff.
There were definitely at least a handful of metal songs prior, but Sabbath is very likely the first metal band. Early metal has considerable overlap with rock. There's no real way to distinguish one from the other without omitting some vital piece of metal history on a technicality. Lemmy's classic opener was always, "We are Motorhead, and we play Rock N Roll." Way I see it, if the guys making the music don't care about the label, I don't think we should sweat it.
I use to listen to my dads records as a kid. The Doors, Deep Purple, Credence Clear Water Revival, and many more. I still remember when I heard Black Sabbath, especially this song for the first time, and I was hooked. Black Sabbath are the godfathers of heavy metal.
Black Sabbath ~ The God Fathers of Heavy Metal! Every band that calls themselves a metal band owes EVERYTHING to Black Sabbath! They did it all and did it first. One of the greatest bands to ever exist!
I’m 62 and heard this at 11 and it made quite the impact on me. But it was my 2 year older brother who had the album and played it over and over. It has always stayed with me.
I am a little younger probably heard it in the late 70s on my dad's reeel to reel. He had one full of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Wore that reel out when he wasnt home LOL
Bill Ward (drummer) like Bonham of Zeppelin proves once again you can do so much with so little. One of the greatest drum performances ever - on a near minimalist kit. Neil Pert will (justifiably) always be considered likely the best of all time with his performance and skill and precision with a hundred different surfaces - but this brutal savage display that births newer guys like David Grohl shows how much sound you can make with a simple set-up.
Ozzie, With Black Sabbath is a Gift. He put Vietnam War right in its place. We are So Blessed to have him in such a time in life. I'm so Glad Black Sabbath was put in My Era. So, Much Talent. It was Gifts given. 🎁 🎉😊
I love seeing "rookies" begin the listen to rock and roll and thus begin to realize how not only how effing good it was but also how it transformed music, including rap. This 'stuff' changed everything.
Ward can generate a masterpiece of destruction with a most simple drum kit. He doesn’t need drums covering every square inch of his area to make killer sounds. Amazing drummer.
I must agree. I was 15 when this particular gig was recorded. The three aforementioned bands were all coming into their stride. To this day all three bands still figure prominently in my playlist.
Could you imagine being in the crowd for that live show? One of the few that I would’ve killed to be at if it wasn’t before my time… smaller venues are magical when you get to see raw talent up close & personal.
Yes The only thing that messes me up is the lyrics is different from the album but... I just rock on singing it as I know it SATAN LAUGHING SPREADS HIS WINGS🤘🏽😎
Lovvvvvvve me some BLACK SABBATH!! Yeeeuuuuuh, yes, that was a grawl.. THEY were my first hard rock love. I don't knw if you'll see this POLO, but FAIRIES WEAR BOOTS is awesome as well.. Thank you POLO🤗❤
I'm a 58 year old Metalhead and this is my all time favorite song. It used to scare the sit out of me when I was a little kid ! Still does ! :P Best Song Ever
Ozzy sings the original lyrics to the song when it was called, " Walpurgis" after the first verse. The record company forced Geezer to write the nicer lyrics of, "War Pigs."
These guys took a savage approach to performing and recording. Everything always cranked past 10. Every video ive seen from this concert is wildly hard and fun. Ozzie is q riot to watch duringbthe musical breaks. He's having a great time.
I think it’s great that Polo is digging all this old school metal. I also think it’s insane that politics was pegged for what it was way back then, yet folks are still lost in politics of today. It is a damn shame what the world’s gotten to because of politics.
The accident occurred when he was 17 years old and working in a place that produced sheet metal. After the tips of some of the fingers of his right hand were cut off he was depressed, and thought that his dream of becoming a rock guitarist was dead. I believe it was one of his coworkers that encouraged him to overcome the tragedy, and introduced him to the music of guitarist Django Reinhardt. Reinhardt was an amazing performer who only had the use of two fingers and the thumb of his left hand. The fourth and fifth fingers had been badly burned. Tony Iommi was inspired after listening to Django Reinhardt, and the rest is history.
There is nothing to not like about Black Sabbath. Their music always carries a good message with truth. Intelligent & genius. Thank you for sharing this one.
This reaction was fantastic!! I've been listening to sabbath for near 50yrs and I have heard every song thousands it of times and it kinda lost something for me over the years but hearing you point out all their brilliance is making them seem fresher for me and I appreciate you for it. Peace and love to you and everyone
The M-60 machine gun was dubbed the HOG in the Army.When I carried mine I would write on the receiver"War Pig".Even 40 plus years later I still remember putting a 200 round belt of tracer down range at once.Woooh!!You want to talk about an orange barrel.lol
I saw them just 3 and a half months after this show. I had just turned 16, and it was my very first concert!! Humble Pie opened, and Peter Frampton was still in the band.
The only people I have met that didn't like Black Sabbath, and were around in the 70's, said they didn't like negativity in what they listened to. I love Sabbath. I was first introduced in 1981-ish, at age 11. Never looked back.
Sabbath is the perfect band in my opinion. Greatest Drummee, Bass player and Riff guitarist ever. 2nd greatest front man ever...Freddy Mercury existed after all
Saw what was coming and had to grab my headphones. Thee best anti-war/establishment song EVER! Damn they rocked it hard and so lucky to have seen them 3 times, albeit one was with Ronnie James Dio. This was so better than the video version. Who says Mondays suck! This was awesome.
Grande Black Sabbath!!! De la Trinidad Impía, fueron los que se acercaron al metal verdaderamente. Sólo genios y leyendas!! Adoro a la Trinidad Impía 💜💚💙
Geezer butler bass lines are insane a lot of jazz influenced breakdowns . Thanks Uncle Britt for giving me “Paranoid “ and “Master of Reality “ albums for my eighth grade graduation gift in 1991 …….Love you rest in peace Uncle ……. One of the biggest influences in my life ….Love You
One of my favorite Ozzy Black Sabbath songs along with Snowblind! As far as Dio sung Black Sabbath, Sign of the Southern Cross along with Heaven & Hell.
All of that sound by Bill Ward on drums. Came from a basic drum kit with one riding tom tom and one floor tom tom and a extra cymbal. And Geezer Butler was a excellent base and was the bands lyrics writer.
Black Sabbath had genuinely brilliant vocals, lyrics and musicians that defined a genre and an era. Rare combination. Makes me even more mad that they cut off the performance Ozzy did for the Rams halftime show in the season opener last year knowing that he had to retire from performing weeks later.
Oh my God!!! The best performance of this song in the history of Black Sabbath. I have been recommending this performance to people for years. This is the creation of heavy metal. 53 fucking years ago......amazing.
I remember first hearing this song driving around town with friends (well with the boys.... don't tell my folks though ) and at the very end of the song it speeds way up... well I almost jumped up to the front seat to grab the cassette tape out (yes I'm that old) because I thought the tape was getting ate...
MY FIRST CONCERT WAS WITH THIS BAND! I REMEMBER THAT IT WAS A REALLY GOOD SHOW, BUT WHEN IT WAS OVER I REMEMBER NOT BEING ABLE TO HEAR ANYTHING, IT WAS KIND OF SCARY! BUT THIS WAS MY FIRST CONCERT AND I WAS SO YOUNG

Faith No More does a killer cover of War Pigs as well as The Commadores "Easy".
You're right every guy in the band was a true master of their talent. I was lucky enough to see them live in 76.
Children of the Grave Live from Cal Jam
Smaller the set, the better the drummer!
I'm sure you may know that this is a different version of lyrics for this song Still good
Every time I see this clip I get pissed that Geezer isn't getting shown enough. Killer bassist.
Also the primary lyricist of the band.
Whoever filmed it must not have known the band. That is the best excuse I can think of.
Back in those days you were lucky to get clip of anyone but the singer
Bass players are typically in the background. Speaking as a bassist
What's the difference between a bass player and a hardwood floor?
The floor can support a family.

Bill Ward. Just monstrous. Every hit in that intro sounds like a bomb going off.
Forgot to add..
this is 1970. People were listening to Hey Jude and these guys drop this shit on the world.
Bill Ward is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me GAWD!!!
