Yeah I like the mechanical backdrop behind the band. I'm sure there was guy behind it, turning it by hand, LOL. And it was probably bright dayglo colors, which you can't see in B&W....Now it would be CGI - Times are different, not necessarily better....
It’s nice to see the original line. This song is so heavy and Tony Iommi’s opening riff is so masterful it just makes this song a classic and it never gets old.
SO true. Geezer also did a lot of work on that bass that makes very little sense to me, and I'm a gigging bass player myself. It's great, though. Those little runs, the galloping and the dissonant verse stops ... so good.
They are one of those rare bands where each member makes a significant contribution. And each part is essential. Them. Led Zeppelin. Aerosmith. A few others. Not a lot.
Sabbath is another beast. They are not only the Godfathers of Metal, but the creators of Doom Metal. Such a huge inspiration in my life and musical inspiration.
Man the straight people of the world tried to beat down Sabbath over and over again, every chance they had. Where are those folks now? Their music is immortal. The straw that broke them down was when Ozzy and Sharon were guest of George Bush at a fundraiser in 2002. What's beautiful is they bumping elbows with the very people who cursed them, Black Sabbath, then Ozzy solo.
Sometimes I forget how good this is. When you see the band in their youth playing this and realizing how heavy this was for the time, it's just amazing. Long live the kings of metal.
Fun fact about this song and the album it's on. So the album was pretty much completed and they were going to call it War Pigs. But the label wanted one more song, something that would "hook" people. So Tony Iommi came up with the riff and the group quickly recorded the song and that became the title track. But it was too late to change the album cover, which is why it looks like War Pigs would have been a more fitting title. Paranoid though turned out to be one of their biggest hits and most recognizable songs. When you hear those opening chords, there's no choice but to turn it way up!
I have their first two albums on vinyl (& on CD), Black Sabbath and Paranoid. Best Sabbath albums IMO. My fav song on debut album is NIB. But the whole album rocks. I have the deluxe CD of Paranoid, with the extra disk that has bonus alternate takes & stuff.
Fun fact: the album was originally gonna be “War Pigs” but the producer stated they had 3 extra minutes they could use. In under 20 mins they wrote, recorded & printed the song “Paranoid” and decided that’s the album title.
Toni is known to be one of the greatest guitarists in the world. WTF!?He is one of the creators of heavy-metal.He has been on the scene since 1968 and created some of the best riffs ever known to man
@@mountainman4969 but his popularity isn't on the level of an EVH, SRV, Hendrix, Winter, Santana and so on. My humble opinion is he's as good or better than those but doesn't get the respect those get.
@@patriotsports7745 I think it has alot to do with the fact that metal is a separate world in rock music, it is less mainstream, within that world everyone knows Iommi.
@@MrShadowofthewind I totally understand, and when I first started playing he was one of the first guitarist I patterned myself after. Which adds even more to the point I made about him being underrated. Some of the things he was doing back then was totally incredible.
Jamal you will be absolutely loving the groove of A National Acrobat. One of their very finest songs, and it hasn't been played to death. Paranoid is a banger.
One of my all time Sabbath tune. Sweet leaf ,electric funeral fire, Fairies wear boots, are great also. Love the bass in this song.. Thanks for the journey through my teens. It was 😎. God bless you and your loved ones Godspeed
What! Was it really 50 years ago that I first heard this album!! Yep, 1970. I just checked my album I bought back then. Thanks for the memories again Jamel! 💃🎶🎸🎧
When I was in my 40s, I wanted to explore the roots of metal, and I found Black Sabbath. They are the grandfathers of all metal, and they were brilliant. They created a new genre by being themselves. Amazing work.
I've STILL got 2 concert t-shirts in top condition that I bought during their 1989 Headless Cross World Tour... Bought them at the concert venue... wore one that night and my gf wore the other... took them off, washed them and put them in separate frames where they still sit today... one showing the front artwork and the other showing the list of cities and concert dates on the back. Without doubt my most prized possessions from the sound of younger days... Long Live Old School Heavy Metal!!
@@shawncaton8777 Anhedonia is when you've become so depressed, you can't even enjoy any of the things you used to love doing, so you stop doing them. From personal experience, I'll say it's like your soul is finally giving up, and thoughts of 'ending it all' become very appealing.
Never seen one of these where they DIDN'T like Black Sabbath especially this song. Lol. Loved this glad he enjoyed it to. Hopefully he can also do N.I.B by Black Sabbath as well. Another awesome track.
This video was recorded at like the first top of the pops in the Netherlands (or last, I don’t remember, it was a special episode). At some point the decor nearly falls over: you can see a few guys enter the video on the right, and disappear behind the decor, to make sure it didn’t fall over.
I will always remember the small quite intimate concert I went to in Oslo Spectrum w OZZY and band in 2008. The audience ranged from 10-80y.o. The energy was amazing and the stamina and energy from OZZY was unbelievable. One of the best concerts I've been to.
On a more mellow note; might check out some, ah dang my memory. I'll get back to ya... Im back, Bill Withers, 'Lovely Day', 'Ain't No Sunshine'.... etc. just heard the songs on LA 94 7...... age is a bugger
My buddy recently introduced your channel to me... love your attitude Jamal! I sang Paranoid daily throughout high school.... we grew up in the best of times....🤘
Jamel... Black Sabbath - Hand of Doom(paranoid album). This to me is one of the best anti-drug songs ever. The lyrics do not say "don't take drugs" or "just say no". They speak about the effects of heroin and what it does to you, etc... in a way that should scare you enough to stay away from it.
@@s0m3cunt91 Well when i hear the words "push the needle in" "holes are in your skin caused by deadly pin" I think heroin. also the words drop the acid pill are in the song. either way... it does not sound like he is advocating for the use of drugs... more of a warning to their affects.
For me personally, that was the song that started it all. Sabbath blew my mind when I first heard then - bummer that I never saw that line up in Black Sabbath. The Diary of a Madman tour was one of the first big shows I saw - so at least I got to see Randy live.
Ozzy said that the practice space they rented was across the street from a movie theater that always played horror films, and that that was the inspiration for a lot of the creatures, characters, and stories, at least on early albums. And their name is from a Boris Karloff movie!
I finally got to see Sabbath on election night 2016. I got a migraine halfway through. I was so sad that I had to listen to this one in the lobby with my eyes covered.
"There's always one" ☻ Class! what do mummy and daddy say? - Im special! - We love you! - We're proud! . - Shut the fuck up when Black Sabbath is playing!!
Paranoid was the first song I think I heard by Black Sabbath back in those days. This album and Deep Purple in Rock got famous (among my friends in Sweden) about simultanously. Slightly after Led Zeppelin II. Those three albums formed "hard rock" to us. There was some rock program on radio 2-3 hours a week - and vinyl albums which were expensive for us young people. Very different from today when you can listen to anything anytime. There was also a significant generation gap. There were almost nobody aged >20 interested. Elvis and Beatles was for young people and parents were worried. (Check F Zappa's comments on music industry!) Anyway, there are older albums and groups, but these three albums marked the start of something different for many people (while I myself turned more to Hendrix, Zappa, Jethro Tull etc.)
Geezer Butler wrote the lyrics for this song. Sitting in the studio, Tony came up with the riff, Geezer started writing lyrics, and Ozzy started singing them as Geezer wrote them. Hand of the Doom is their best song, but obviously not their most iconic.
Tony Iommi: the left-handed grandfather of heavy metal guitar. It seems like all the greatest guitarists are southpaws, from Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix out of Seattle, Washington to Paul McCartney and Tony Iommi from across the pond. Paul McCartney knows how to play more than 50 different musical instruments, which is unheard of for a left-handed musician. His former bandmate Ringo Starr is also a lefty but he plays a right-handed drum kit, which is what gives him such a distinctive sound.
@@rogerhurt5569 I didn't forget Jimi. Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix shared two things in common. They're both from Seattle and both played left-handed guitar.
Tony chopped off the ends of two of his fingers in a kick-press accident at work. He tuned his guitar down, because, less tension on the strings allowed him to play with less pain. So, if Tony had not chopped off his fingers, metal as we know it may never have happened.
This album was originally named after another song, War Pig. Their label didn't want to release the album with that name for fear of backlash so the new name they chose was Paranoid.

Jamel aka Jamal, nice Shirt ,I like it.
@Jamel_AKA_Jamal - Completely ignoring the lyrics, as usual...
50 years later and this still goes harder than so many songs out there, even with the weird kaleidoscope effect.
Yeah I like the mechanical backdrop behind the band. I'm sure there was guy behind it, turning it by hand, LOL. And it was probably bright dayglo colors, which you can't see in B&W....Now it would be CGI - Times are different, not necessarily better....
Amen to that......
It’s nice to see the original line. This song is so heavy and Tony Iommi’s opening riff is so masterful it just makes this song a classic and it never gets old.
A lot of people don't understand how much of geezers bass makes that sabbath sound
Yeah- so much more than just "the floor". But Bill Ward Drums, Iommi guitar, and OZZY - The WHOLE PACKAGE 💥💥💥
SO true. Geezer also did a lot of work on that bass that makes very little sense to me, and I'm a gigging bass player myself. It's great, though. Those little runs, the galloping and the dissonant verse stops ... so good.

Many bands don’t exist without sabbath
Not all doom and gloom.
Man the straight people of the world tried to beat down Sabbath over and over again, every chance they had. Where are those folks now? Their music is immortal. The straw that broke them down was when Ozzy and Sharon were guest of George Bush at a fundraiser in 2002.

They are the inspiration for a lot of metal bands in general.
Sabbath is so classic, and the Paranoid album is my fave!!
Sometimes I forget how good this is. When you see the band in their youth playing this and realizing how heavy this was for the time, it's just amazing. Long live the kings of metal.

I prefer war pigs. But I understand they chose the shorter and easier listen to name the album after
Another fun fact. I named my ex War pig as she hates the song, always wanted a bloody row and also didn't like Ozzy.
I have their first two albums on vinyl (& on CD), Black Sabbath and Paranoid. Best Sabbath albums IMO. My fav song on debut album is NIB. But the whole album rocks.
I have the deluxe CD of Paranoid, with the extra disk that has bonus alternate takes & stuff.
Didn't there very first album get bad reviews from the critics over there in the UK?
Fun fact: the album was originally gonna be “War Pigs” but the producer stated they had 3 extra minutes they could use. In under 20 mins they wrote, recorded & printed the song “Paranoid” and decided that’s the album title.
Metal, punk, and grunge before any of those things existed.
Black sabbath ..grand fathers of heavy metal .... period ...
And Tony is one of the most underrated guitarist ever.

Yes, you’re right on! 🎵🎵💜💜🎵🎵
Not sure if he did Irknman but it is much like this videi.
Yes. Start a new trend called "revisited" with songs to come back to. I am all for that
One of my all time Sabbath tune. Sweet leaf ,electric funeral fire, Fairies wear boots, are great also.
Love the bass in this song..
Thanks for the journey through my teens. It was 😎. God bless you and your loved ones
Godspeed
Never tire of Black Sabbath, bloody unreal!
What! Was it really 50 years ago that I first heard this album!! Yep, 1970. I just checked my album I bought back then. Thanks for the memories again Jamel! 💃🎶🎸🎧
Sabbath ,Bloody Sabbath and Led Zeppelin 1.My first vinyls. Thanks
from Miami. 👍☕😎
When I was in my 40s, I wanted to explore the roots of metal, and I found Black Sabbath. They are the grandfathers of all metal, and they were brilliant. They created a new genre by being themselves. Amazing work.
metal does go back to the 70's
Yes, and the album Paranoid by Black Sabbath was published in 1966.
I am 62 and It still is amazing today !
Sabbath cut and produced the first two records in a year. They changed music FOREVER !! True METAL WAS BORN !!!
Love all rock groups of the 60s and 70s. I grew up with it. I am really surprised that it took so long for the 2nd generation getting it now. Enjoy!
I've STILL got 2 concert t-shirts in top condition that I bought during their 1989 Headless Cross World Tour...

I cant believe that NO ONE has even mentioned BILL WARD pounding on those drums 🥁💪😎
Black Sabbath, Paranoid and i'm like #420. 🤘🏻
This might be my favorite Black Sabbath song . ..
But so many are GREAT~
Ozzy has such a baby face here. He is still awesome on stage I love his later stuff too.
This is the album song played over a video. Still rocks ..
It's not just about coming down. It also describes some elements of actual depression. Like anhedonia. It is how some people feel all of the time.
I'm too lazy to look it up so, what is anhedonia?
@@shawncaton8777 , I’m too baked to provide anything but a link.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anhedonia
@@shawncaton8777 Anhedonia is when you've become so depressed, you can't even enjoy any of the things you used to love doing, so you stop doing them.
From personal experience, I'll say it's like your soul is finally giving up, and thoughts of 'ending it all' become very appealing.
@@djhrecordhound4391 Oh. Well now I guess I have a name for what I went through. Um... Thanks.
Which is exacerbated by drug use

Grew up listening to the song. The opening riff still gets me every time.
Kudos Jamal on finding a great vintage video (with outstanding audio) of Black Sabbath. They're out there but hard to find. Loved it 👏
I will always remember the small quite intimate concert I went to in Oslo Spectrum w OZZY and band in 2008. The audience ranged from 10-80y.o.
The energy was amazing and the stamina and energy from OZZY was unbelievable.

Such an iconic sound
Symptoms of the universe is a great song! Definitely should check that one out.
Just FYI, the lyrics for pretty much all the Sabbath songs were written by the bassist Geezer Butler, not Ozzy.
until you get into the Dio years....
Thanks for reacting to a classic
My favorite band still in 2021
Everytime, I see this, I fall in love with it again. It's so damn cool.
Thanks Jamel !! I needed some Ozzy !! Yes , he still sounds exactly the same 50 something years later !
My buddy recently introduced your channel to me... love your attitude Jamal! I sang Paranoid daily throughout high school.... we grew up in the best of times....🤘
The strangest concert I was ever to was Black Sabbath at the Chicago Auditorium in August 1971 - almost 50 years ago to the day!
Jamel... Black Sabbath - Hand of Doom(paranoid album). This to me is one of the best anti-drug songs ever. The lyrics do not say "don't take drugs" or "just say no". They speak about the effects of heroin and what it does to you, etc... in a way that should scare you enough to stay away from it.
Where do you people come up with this stuff? It's nothing to do with Heroin, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

@@lawrencespies8674 Sorry, My mistake. I thought You were talking about this song here.
@@s0m3cunt91 No problem....
Even Jamel be head-banging here!! 🤘🏿🤘🏻
Still one of the greatest Metal songs ever!!!!
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is another awesome song.

Jamel, great to see you listen to the epic stuff. It does not get anymore epic than this one.
I SO appreciate your fresh take on songs I've enjoyed all my life, and may have taken for granted! Keep this going!
Bill Ward is the driving force literally behind Black Sabbath 🥁🔥🤘
YES! I love Black Sabbath!
This was the very first album I ever bought with m own money. Thanks for the memories Jamel
Love your room, Brother 👍❤great taste in memorabilia/pictures 👍 oh shit! Let’s get this legend to 1 million! 😮
In Finland instead of yelling "Play free bird!", people yell "Play paranoid!"
Black Sabbath hard to deny.
I finally got to see Sabbath on election night 2016. I got a migraine halfway through. I was so sad that I had to listen to this one in the lobby with my eyes covered.
Dude you just about started boogieing to this....Great song to dance to.....
5 years old and I was rocking...me and Dad.
"There's always one" ☻
Class! what do mummy and daddy say?
- Im special!
- We love you!
- We're proud!

💕🤘🏼✨yay!! So fun…saw you comment on Rob Squad Reactions…love you both so much!
This song is all about the BASS, that is why we are all now bobbing our heads.
Jamel, fabulous 💞it. Thanks for playing this song. ✌️
NOTHING Like 70s ROCK AND ROLL
the song that both original metalheads and punkers loved...... then later on, Lemmy with Motorhead came around to unite both camps once again
Geezer Butler wrote the lyrics for this song. Sitting in the studio, Tony came up with the riff, Geezer started writing lyrics, and Ozzy started singing them as Geezer wrote them. Hand of the Doom is their best song, but obviously not their most iconic.
Ozzy ...we love him ..he 's crazy ...but we love him ....saw him Live around 2012 ...perfect same thing ...great show ...

Add Dick Dale to your list!!!!!!
@@rogerhurt5569 I didn't forget Jimi. Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix shared two things in common. They're both from Seattle and both played left-handed guitar.
Mark Knopfler is a lefty who has always played guitar righty.
Thank goodness for European television, so many great bands, so little video of them in their prime.
Tony chopped off the ends of two of his fingers in a kick-press accident at work. He tuned his guitar down, because, less tension on the strings allowed him to play with less pain. So, if Tony had not chopped off his fingers, metal as we know it may never have happened.
One of the first albums I bought with my own money from my paper route and mowing lawns .Those were the good ole days .
Been a fan since 1972. Best band ever in my opinion
Literally no one can play like Tony Iommi without losing a couple fingertips
And after over 4 decades of listening to him play, I just realized he's left handed.
This album was originally named after another song, War Pig. Their label didn't want to release the album with that name for fear of backlash so the new name they chose was Paranoid.
Awesome. Love Black Sabbath and RUSH even more. Great video and RUSH poster on your wall!
Nothing today can beat them as far as I'm concerned
I just randomly decide to put on Black Sabbath today, then find your reaction right away..
Hey, thanks for doing the extra info on these. Love it!
Jamel , getting up towards a MILL?!
Awww, MAN!! I cant think of many more deserving, wow! Pretty soon!!
Watching you headbang just makes me so damn happy. 😄🤘🤘🤘🤘 Go on now J!
Hard to believe this song and album had 50 years. This is one of first heavy metal albums. ❤️
on my hands and knees jamal.
Dance Gavin Dance Here Comes The Winner
Love the pics and posters on the wall
Best concert ever. Sabbath w/ozzy, opened by Van Halen w/ David lee roth. Chicago Amphitheatre.
One of THe Best reaction, All this other guys reacting to THe song were Like they were deaf or something..
Portishead- Roads live in Roseland
This is great! Jamel my man, you MUST hear ‘Planet Caravan’ from Sabbath. Trippy as all hell.
Dude this must have been amazing to hear in 1970
Tony Iommi with Queen and "some other friends" live: I Want It All & Stone Cold Crazy
Sabbath are the Great Grandfathers of Heavy Metal
Black Sabbath. We sold our souls for rock and roll. That was banned because of the name. Listen to sunrise. Pure music.
Most iconic riff in rock history
