Also, if you want to hear about the government, and rights, give George Carlin "Right and Privileges" a react. Now, George was a comedian, so different for your channel, but he was MUCH more then that. He was a philosopher who was NOT afraid to call society out. I promise you'll love it. ruclips.net/video/gaa9iw85tW8/видео.html
I heard a priest give an entire sermon on this song. He said it was like the message of the Old Testament prophets: There is a God, there WILL be a judgement, and when it comes those who have made war for their own selfish ends will get what is coming to them.
More than fifty years later this song still has meaning. The video came much after the song. The Vietnam War was being fought when this song was first performed. The War Machine is still turning. Here's to hoping you kids and your generation will stop it. "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix. God bless you both.

The video does a disservice to the song. There’s conflicting metaphors. The video doesn’t need a separate narrative. It would have been best if it just followed the lyrics.

I love y'all!!! How eerie this song is today with everything going on 🥺 We not letting them take over again though...we have guns for a reason, to fight the tyranny!
My mother tried to tell me Black Sabbath was preaching evil. She had never listened to Black Sabbath but had decided this based on hearsay and hype. I listened anyway. One day she came in my room to comment on how good the music was and I had to break it to her that she was currently enjoying the pitch perfect Prince of Darkness himself spouting these anti-war lyrics. She didn’t try to influence my music taste after that.
Fr “F**k masks!... Take mask off!”? Tf!? As a healthcare worker I gotta at less dislike the video. I like their content, the girl seemed tripped when mentioning too much conspiracy. I’m still a viewer but but I gotta say, this video is about physical government involvement. *cattling people, barbed wire fences, unneeded policing force* but yeah keep reacting. Just keep learning.

Masks, hand washing - all that have been precautions taught for decades. Only now is anyone listening. And of course they are going to extremes. People need to just not be stupid about it.
@@joeybecker781 Eh? are you saying Led Zeppelin are overrated. or did you read my comment and imagine I said that!?! so no comprende dude. I was born in 1962 BTW
@xPositivityx bless Maybe consider this alternative interpretation: The 2nd amendement is one of the best tools to keep the US population suppressed. It gives an illusion of freedom and self-determination while for the longest time being an integral part of how society destroys itself. The 2nd amendement is great in theory. But reality shows that it doesn't work at all. The USA is the richest country on earth yet it's population struggles to compete with third world countries in pretty much any key metric: Education, equality of opportunity, mental health, physical health, child mortality, police brutality, corruption, violent crime and murder rates, drug addiction, incarceration rate, and so on and so forth. Yet pretty much the only opportunities when someone makes use of their 2nd amendement rights it's only to defend the most ignorant stance with violence. And in the few cases where arming yourself against the state actually could be considered a reasonable path, it gets subverted in no time - and the majority of people is not just content but actually happy about it. If you believe the 2nd amendement does or ever will do anything good for the american people you need to wake up and check what reality has to say about that.
@xPositivityx bless Sure, there probably isn't anything I could say to change your mind anyway then. But consider that an opinion is only valid if it can stand in the face of facts, otherwise it's just dogma. You don't have to answer but I'd be thrilled if you allowed yourself to question your beliefs and see how they stack up to reality even, and particularly, when the thoughts become uncomfortable.
@Sean Davis Imagine you'd put your anger towards something constructive, not only might something good come from it but you wouldn't make yourself look impotent.

I really wish people's' first reaction to this song was just the lyric video - the images are from a German short film called 'Motherland', done about 40 years after this song. I understand the correlation that the video's author intended between war abroad vs dystopian war at home, but it does a disservice, I think, for people who are new to either the song or the short film. (That said, yes - if you understand the intent, they do go well together)
I just want to say thank you both. I have been dealing with a terrible month, and I found your channel not too long ago. I have laughed so hard and enjoyed too much how passionate you are. You don't know how much positive impact you have in others and I really wish you the best for brightening other people's days.
Ya'll are so cute!! 35 yr old old white dude here y'all give me life!! These are the jams i was raised on and it's fun to see a new perspective. ALL LOVE
This song was written in the Vietnam War era. The lyrics are just as relevant today as they were then. I’m pretty sure this wasn’t an official video from the band, but it’s brilliant! The imagery is both brutal and beautiful. Great reaction! I love that you guys put in the effort to not just hear the music but to understand it as well.
Love seeing you trying to decipher this shit. This was written, performed towards the end of Vietnam. My dad saw this live in early 70 something.. wile he was serving. Music keeps it real and keeps you thinking.. Music is the tie that binds man.. all these years later and you 2 watching the same shit I grew up to. cool beans.
Im 34 years old. I had the privilege of learning about "classic rock" from as old as I can remember. One of the best things my dad gave me, the love for true and real rock and roll. Powerful meaningful music designed to empower, educate and ake you feel good. There is no better sound out there than a black sabbath, led zeppelin. deep and more important than anyone at that time knew it would be.
I'm a 34 year old mixed guy who listens to predominantly funk, 90's and early 2000's rap music. I remember the first time I heard this song. It instantly became not just my favorite rock song, but one of my top songs of all time. The song stills give me goose bumps, and gets me amped everytime I hear it!!!!
I thought this was a solid reaction. No it wasn't in line with the original story behind the song (partly due to video choice), but I appreciate the effort Chris & Rheasia put into this reaction. 💯💯
@@antonismpraikidis4483 I don't think he means to rheasia seems to think internally then says and Chris tends to go thought he's thoughts out loud lmao altho I'm sure I saw rheasia do a mini body roll instead of an eye roll when he does interrupt

You have just been introduced to the fathers of metal. Congratulations. Also i love your videos, they are so real and sincere and its so great to see how open minded you are. Keep it up and big props
I genuinely love how the both of you are wrestling with interpreting the lyrics. Personally it took me plenty of listening sessions before I could articulate my own interpretation. Its always wonderful to see more people enjoying music that is new to them.

Chris & Rheasia watching you in this video was a fucking experience.... this song was released in 1970. But only today, 51 years after the song was realesed and 28 years after my first listening, I understand the power and impact that Black Sabath had in any hard rock and in almost all heavy metal sub genres that came in the decades afer. And of course in many more things around. Every person in the metal scene will tell you that, but only today I could feel what that thing really means. First video of you that I saw that as the song progress you dont talk about the song as a music. You were talking about the impact of the song was having in you without noticed. And this was 1 second after the song started you feel right away that something was different (it was the Iommy guitar talking to you). And then the famous first 2 mini riffs, one afer another, in a fucking right time before the vocals.... that beat you in the face harder. And then the power of the vocals and the lyrics started... with the darkness of the riffs as the song envolve, that catch you and stole your mind. And the video represents the lyrics and the tone of the song in perfection. Remember that the same video without any sound you would not care about the thing. I know all the albuns from black sabbath and from 3 or 4 albuns I know all the songs riffs and almost all the lyrics. But only today I understand the impact that they had because of your reaction. You can imagine the reaction of a young kid like metallica singer or from megadeth or many others, that want to play music since 13 or 14 years old. The firt time they listened to the first 4 or 5 Black Sabatah albuns, was a "what is this ?!?!" reaction like yours. They had never listening to something like that sound. Slash from Guns say this all the time. Black Sabbath made their tone with a mix of blues rock and other types of rock too, but with slow tempos with the riffs, and that made the riffs feel so much heavy. Like the sad but true song. Motorhead also influenced the sound of the many bands from the 80s but in the speed part. Motorhead in the first years was mostly a fast type of rock and rock and hard rock. But even the famous guitar players from the 90s grunge bands and afer cited motorhead and black sabbath as a big inspiration. If someone ask you today if you know Black Sabath you will fast remember the impact that the song have in you as a whole, but maybe you dont remember a chorus or something like you remember from a Rage Against the Machine song afer only 1 listening. And that is just fucking incredible from Black Sabath. And remember, you were watching a band that made the foundations for almost all the metal bands that appear 10 and 20 years later. And had one of the best guitar players ever, the riff master Tommy. When someone say the name "heavy metal" is the same as "black sabath. Metallica will not sound like we know them today, it will be diferent in some way for sure without black sabath. Fucking Ozzy and Tommy are really some genious as songwriters. This band is the n1 band in the world that have more covered songs from rock and metal bands (but now the name metal means at least 15 sub-genres of metal). I remember reading that Post Malone wanted to cover a song too. I started to go deeper in their discography because of the Pantera songs and much more bands that covered their songs. I listedned to this for the first time around 1993 when I was 14 or 15 years old. Nowadays I listen to Black Sabbath time to time like any other rock and heay metal fan, but I still know around 85% of the lyrics of war pigs. But whem I heard the song first time I already knew the trash scene from the 80s, and the grunge from the 90s was starting to grow. Black Sabatah had a minor impact in me as a band, only Tommy Iommy was impossible to ignore for me because of the riffs. Ozzy said in many interviews that he started to write more dark lyrics because of the industrial english town where they lived all youth, cloudy and dark town. And please someone has to send your reaction to Ozzy! All the best Chris & Rheasia.
Ozzy and black sabbath are just amazing. I was lucky enough to see a show on their last ever tour a few years ago and no joke, they sound just as good if not better live than they do on the recording. Just amazing.

Man is enlightened. I grew up being told it’s mental horsepower. You have a great brain on you brother. Both of you do. Much love
This song was Black Sabbath's social commentary on the Vietnam war and solidified their place in history as one of the all time great bands.
The band was very aware and thoughtful . The message was not satanism , but hoping others would wake up too .
Greatest rock song ever written
what kills me is when he collaborated with Post Malone, Post Malone fans actually thought Post discovered him..... Him as in Ozzy...
R u FKN KIDDING ME?? 🤦♀️that’s a disgrace.
Lord, have mercy ..... please tell me that is fake news. Ozzy is a legend and they thought Post Malone discovered him .... #ICantwithThesePeople
That's funny. Ozzy should be well known.
Nobody thought Post discovered Ozzy. People who said that were joking. Its not hard to pick up sarcasm.
@@Ryan-qn1wr No... there were actual idiots that did think this... my son was one of them.
I love y'all!!! How eerie this song is today with everything going on 🥺
We not letting them take over again though...we have guns for a reason, to fight the tyranny!
I'm yelling, YEAH BABY, YOU GET IT!! Way to go, guys!
My parents had the record of Black Sabbath, Ozzy is a legend. Grew up with Sabbath playing on the record player.
My mother tried to tell me Black Sabbath was preaching evil. She had never listened to Black Sabbath but had decided this based on hearsay and hype. I listened anyway. One day she came in my room to comment on how good the music was and I had to break it to her that she was currently enjoying the pitch perfect Prince of Darkness himself spouting these anti-war lyrics. She didn’t try to influence my music taste after that.
Same. Listened to all my dad's records, black sabbath, iron butterfly, led zepplin and others when I was a child.
And fairies do wear boots
Dont watch the video, focus on the lyrics. Your loosing yourselves
this will just keep on happening until that awful video will be taken down
@@rahbeat9785 or redone, i drew a poster more related to the lyrics than this.

“F**k masks!... Take mask off!”?
Tf!?
As a healthcare worker I gotta at less dislike the video. I like their content, the girl seemed tripped when mentioning too much conspiracy.
I’m still a viewer but but I gotta say, this video is about physical government involvement. *cattling people, barbed wire fences, unneeded policing force* but yeah keep reacting. Just keep learning.
@Robert McPherson I was a Registered Nurse for 25 years. Masks are not a cure-all, but the do help protect. I do not use them all the time. but I will use them around others whom are at risk of death from ALL respiratory illness. COVId is just another flu. Masks, hand washing - all that have been precautions taught for decades. Only now is anyone listening. And of course they are going to extremes. People need to just not be stupid about it.
@Robert McPherson Definitely agree on the mandates. There ate no logical, scientific reasons for them.
Good insight about the deepness of the name "Black Sabbath" - these guys are often considered the originators of heavy metal.
Preach! 🤘
You gotta do Paranoid also by Black Sabbath
Like if you agree
Paranoid is so over played. I can think of about a dozen other songs by Black Sabbath I'd rather see s reaction to.
Agreed + Led Zepplin, Rush, and a bit of Deep Purple!
@@Cookie6240
Led Zeppelin overrated
Was you born in the 2000s?
Iron man is a great song by black Sabbath,,, And Sabbath bloody Sabbath
@@joeybecker781 Eh? are you saying Led Zeppelin are overrated. or did you read my comment and imagine I said that!?! so no comprende dude. I was born in 1962 BTW
I hate this video for reactions. Its a fan made video that has nothing to do with the song and it just confuses people. just listen to the lyrics
True
@xPositivityx bless Maybe consider this alternative interpretation: The 2nd amendement is one of the best tools to keep the US population suppressed. It gives an illusion of freedom and self-determination while for the longest time being an integral part of how society destroys itself.
The 2nd amendement is great in theory. But reality shows that it doesn't work at all. The USA is the richest country on earth yet it's population struggles to compete with third world countries in pretty much any key metric: Education, equality of opportunity, mental health, physical health, child mortality, police brutality, corruption, violent crime and murder rates, drug addiction, incarceration rate, and so on and so forth.
Yet pretty much the only opportunities when someone makes use of their 2nd amendement rights it's only to defend the most ignorant stance with violence. And in the few cases where arming yourself against the state actually could be considered a reasonable path, it gets subverted in no time - and the majority of people is not just content but actually happy about it.
If you believe the 2nd amendement does or ever will do anything good for the american people you need to wake up and check what reality has to say about that.
@xPositivityx bless Sure, there probably isn't anything I could say to change your mind anyway then. But consider that an opinion is only valid if it can stand in the face of facts, otherwise it's just dogma.
You don't have to answer but I'd be thrilled if you allowed yourself to question your beliefs and see how they stack up to reality even, and particularly, when the thoughts become uncomfortable.
@Sean Davis Hm, sounds remarkably as if you were inciting violence - and you want to sell that as a positive to me?
@Sean Davis Imagine you'd put your anger towards something constructive, not only might something good come from it but you wouldn't make yourself look impotent.
I love you guys so much!
You are both very insightful!
Exact reaction intended. For a band demonized by the establishment, preached peace for humanity in so many songs.
You guys know that Ozzy Osbourne is the lead singer
Stumbled on yall, yall are fucking dope. Take it from someone who makes money producing hip hop, who grew up on Mozart, and the Grateful Dead, Yall make the future of music seem much more comforting. Thanks for that, much love, stay safe, and enjoy new tunes! stay lit yall
You guys are the best✊️
I really wish people's' first reaction to this song was just the lyric video - the images are from a German short film called 'Motherland', done about 40 years after this song. I understand the correlation that the video's author intended between war abroad vs dystopian war at home, but it does a disservice, I think, for people who are new to either the song or the short film.
(That said, yes - if you understand the intent, they do go well together)
I just want to say thank you both. I have been dealing with a terrible month, and I found your channel not too long ago. I have laughed so hard and enjoyed too much how passionate you are. You don't know how much positive impact you have in others and I really wish you the best for brightening other people's days.
Love for yall
Love your using minds to question whats going on around you that is awsome. Great job
Its an anti war song, hes talking about the people that send us out to die, and the destruction war causes
I like it when you said whoever this is he's blowin... you might have heard of him before his name is Ozzy Osbourne🤣🤣🤣😷
Love seeing the classics
Yr take is exactly on point!
Ya'll are so cute!! 35 yr old old white dude here y'all give me life!! These are the jams i was raised on and it's fun to see a new perspective. ALL LOVE
Great reviews. Haven't heard some of this music since I was a kid. The 60s and 70s were a great time.
You got it bro!!!!!
I’m 62 and this is what I grew up on. Love seeing you two get into it!
This song was written in the Vietnam War era. The lyrics are just as relevant today as they were then. I’m pretty sure this wasn’t an official video from the band, but it’s brilliant! The imagery is both brutal and beautiful. Great reaction! I love that you guys put in the effort to not just hear the music but to understand it as well.
Love seeing you trying to decipher this shit. This was written, performed towards the end of Vietnam. My dad saw this live in early 70 something.. wile he was serving. Music keeps it real and keeps you thinking.. Music is the tie that binds man.. all these years later and you 2 watching the same shit I grew up to. cool beans.
Ozzys voice always gives me the chills.
Love the breakdown! Discussion, debate it's all good. The more we talk to each other, the more we understand. You two are living proof...
I watch other reaction channels...❤ you both! Hugs to ya Rheasia on this one.
Exactly the point
Need to think of this song in the context of WHEN it was released...during the era of the Viet Nam war.
Amazing how the prince of darkness has an immediate reaction across the board. Totally speaks to everyone
you guys are cool. like the format
Love this song!
Great song choice! As usual, I love that you two don't see music as just sound, you analyze the affects of the lyrics and the music. Nice!!
Im 34 years old. I had the privilege of learning about "classic rock" from as old as I can remember. One of the best things my dad gave me, the love for true and real rock and roll. Powerful meaningful music designed to empower, educate and ake you feel good. There is no better sound out there than a black sabbath, led zeppelin. deep and more important than anyone at that time knew it would be.
This song rings true to this very day...
Yes your absolutely correct 👏
Day of judgement God is calling
On their knees the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
I wonder if these guys know that it was the legendary, Ozzy Osbourne who did the vocals for Black Sabbath before he went solo?
Heavy read on the song. Thanks for diving in and feeling the message.
I'm a 34 year old mixed guy who listens to predominantly funk, 90's and early 2000's rap music. I remember the first time I heard this song. It instantly became not just my favorite rock song, but one of my top songs of all time. The song stills give me goose bumps, and gets me amped everytime I hear it!!!!
Not sure why...but i have a feeling yall wld like "Sweet Leaf" by Black Sabbath. Jess sayin.
Indeed
love the redo on the tribute album
Now you made me cough. (from laughing) 😎
judging by some of their previous reactions, the groove of that song is right up their alley.
@Stay Sharp fuck yes!
I thought this was a solid reaction. No it wasn't in line with the original story behind the song (partly due to video choice), but I appreciate the effort Chris & Rheasia put into this reaction. 💯💯
Omfg y'all did war piggs!!!! Yessssss! Yesssssss fck yea
Love y’all
You Two are real ...I love that you show your feelings in reaction to this song and video. Awesome Chris & Rheasia
Irs actually an anti-vietnam war song. Back when people still got drafted and went and died or went to jail...
This is the song that paved the way for metal.
so glad you are awake guys
Ozzy Osbourne baby!
The Prince of f'ning Darkness.
Which a lot of people don’t know, he says god bless you to every single audience at the end of every single show. 😉
Rheasia is actually very clever when it comes to interpreting lyrics fair play need more metal lol
Chris must let her speak more, he interrupts her all the time.
@@antonismpraikidis4483 I don't think he means to rheasia seems to think internally then says and Chris tends to go thought he's thoughts out loud lmao altho I'm sure I saw rheasia do a mini body roll instead of an eye roll when he does interrupt
Nailed it! Government do ALL OF THAT!!!
No cap you are probably D best reaction channel obscene in the last 4 years kudos I all and also yara fucken awesome couple keep it up I hope you all get to see yourselves when you're 80 much love
Once again no cap y'all real you right I feel it things happened to all of us but you right African American and I strongly say American because really we all one people under God I'm sorry for any atrocities that my people have afflicted upon yours today in back Then I'm so sorry I hope you all really do get to see each other when you're 100 even better love you and I wish you the best my favorite family joined thank you
You have just been introduced to the fathers of metal. Congratulations. Also i love your videos, they are so real and sincere and its so great to see how open minded you are. Keep it up and big props
I genuinely love how the both of you are wrestling with interpreting the lyrics. Personally it took me plenty of listening sessions before I could articulate my own interpretation. Its always wonderful to see more people enjoying music that is new to them.
'm crying at the moment.... big big big song.. big message...
Great vid. This song is everyone’s song.
Satan laughing spreads his wings is saying the war pigs are going to hell. They beg mercy for their sins, but god gives them off to satan.
This right here

Just saying, that wouldn't be theologically correct. Matthew 12:31
@@svaz2006 think he’s just talking about the story in the song?
50 years old and still on point today, i love your message and we are all in this together, keep doing what you do
I got to see Black Sabbath in concert in the mid '70s- AMAZING! This came out while the Vietnam War was in full blaze.
I love you guys please never stop.
Lit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do The Trooper(Iron Maiden) next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Trooper is good, but I suggest "Hallowed by Thy Name".
@@Cambu17 Hallowed Be Thy Name is my favorite song of all time. But Hallowed Be Thy Name is a song I would recommend if someone was listening to the best of the best songs,I would recommend last so it can be the final blow,ya know?
Both great but aces high, is a personal favorite
Everyone has his Maiden song, what else would you expect, such a great band.
My personal favourite is To Tame a Land.
Gotta be the live version tho
I'm happy yall liked the song! You guys are very introspective. And about all the terrible things happening to black people, just know we see you. We hear you. Black lives matter ✊
❤ I first heard this 40 yrs ago and it FREAKED ME OUT ❤
Chris & Rheasia watching you in this video was a fucking experience.... this song was released in 1970. But only today, 51 years after the song was realesed and 28 years after my first listening, I understand the power and impact that Black Sabath had in any hard rock and in almost all heavy metal sub genres that came in the decades afer. And of course in many more things around.
Every person in the metal scene will tell you that, but only today I could feel what that thing really means.
First video of you that I saw that as the song progress you dont talk about the song as a music. You were talking about the impact of the song was having in you without noticed. And this was 1 second after the song started you feel right away that something was different (it was the Iommy guitar talking to you).
And then the famous first 2 mini riffs, one afer another, in a fucking right time before the vocals.... that beat you in the face harder. And then the power of the vocals and the lyrics started... with the darkness of the riffs as the song envolve, that catch you and stole your mind. And the video represents the lyrics and the tone of the song in perfection.
Remember that the same video without any sound you would not care about the thing.
I know all the albuns from black sabbath and from 3 or 4 albuns I know all the songs riffs and almost all the lyrics.
But only today I understand the impact that they had because of your reaction.
You can imagine the reaction of a young kid like metallica singer or from megadeth or many others, that want to play music since 13 or 14 years old. The firt time they listened to the first 4 or 5 Black Sabatah albuns, was a "what is this ?!?!" reaction like yours. They had never listening to something like that sound. Slash from Guns say this all the time.
Black Sabbath made their tone with a mix of blues rock and other types of rock too, but with slow tempos with the riffs, and that made the riffs feel so much heavy. Like the sad but true song.
Motorhead also influenced the sound of the many bands from the 80s but in the speed part. Motorhead in the first years was mostly a fast type of rock and rock and hard rock.
But even the famous guitar players from the 90s grunge bands and afer cited motorhead and black sabbath as a big inspiration.
If someone ask you today if you know Black Sabath you will fast remember the impact that the song have in you as a whole, but maybe you dont remember a chorus or something like you remember from a Rage Against the Machine song afer only 1 listening. And that is just fucking incredible from Black Sabath.
And remember, you were watching a band that made the foundations for almost all the metal bands that appear 10 and 20 years later. And had one of the best guitar players ever, the riff master Tommy. When someone say the name "heavy metal" is the same as "black sabath. Metallica will not sound like we know them today, it will be diferent in some way for sure without black sabath.
Fucking Ozzy and Tommy are really some genious as songwriters. This band is the n1 band in the world that have more covered songs from rock and metal bands (but now the name metal means at least 15 sub-genres of metal). I remember reading that Post Malone wanted to cover a song too.
I started to go deeper in their discography because of the Pantera songs and much more bands that covered their songs.
I listedned to this for the first time around 1993 when I was 14 or 15 years old. Nowadays I listen to Black Sabbath time to time like any other rock and heay metal fan, but I still know around 85% of the lyrics of war pigs. But whem I heard the song first time I already knew the trash scene from the 80s, and the grunge from the 90s was starting to grow. Black Sabatah had a minor impact in me as a band, only Tommy Iommy was impossible to ignore for me because of the riffs.
Ozzy said in many interviews that he started to write more dark lyrics because of the industrial english town where they lived all youth, cloudy and dark town.
And please someone has to send your reaction to Ozzy!
All the best Chris & Rheasia.
Ozzy and black sabbath are just amazing. I was lucky enough to see a show on their last ever tour a few years ago and no joke, they sound just as good if not better live than they do on the recording. Just amazing.
