As I am 67 years of age I still enjoy listening to the founding fathers of metal. I remember I was only 16 when listening to this Music on my LP record player. The album was recorded at vertigo records. Black Sabbath and their music has been on my mind and part of my life for 50 years now. Thank you Black Sabbath.
I'm 67 also hell this was the music we grew up with man we enjoyed the birth and the kings of rock and roll Along with Black Sabbath Led Zeppelin well you know what I mean
This song is in my top 3 metal songs of all time, it's fucking amazing. And of course is the best anti war song of all time, the lyrics is so powerful.
@@florianobonfanti7801 Music has been a part of humanity since we came down from the trees and worked out that banging a thing against a thing created a rhythm. I cannot even fathom the level of autism you must be afflicted with to come out with a statement this retarded.
The heaviest album ever recorded. Hands down. I remember I was 12 when it came out. No one had ever heard anything like it. I decided early on I couldn't listen to it first thing in the morning or the last thing at night... it was almost like a secret we were all trying to keep from our parents... hard to do at full blast... ;)😅
Every single song on this album is a well-known Classic. That's an extremely rare achievement for any band or solo musician. One of the greatest albums of all time. Even people who don't normally listen to heavy music should recognize this greatness.
I heard this album first repeatedly. Truly frightening subject matter with aggressive playing. I was 9 or 10 when my older bro got it. Wanted more, nothing out yet so got 1st album. Scarier album cover but the topics and music on paranoid is heavier IMO.
Today Is September 22 of 2024, I'm 69 y.o mexican and can tell you that for sure, it is timeless....clean, high quality and beautifully recorded. I've had the LP. Don't know what happened with it. With all my LP's as a matter of fact. Maybe my father throws them away when I left the family house in 1977 when I got married.
LOVE BILL WARD’S DRUMMING HERE! AS A DRUMMER MYSELF THIS IS MY FAVORITE BLACK SABBATH SONG!!! BEST VERSION IS BLACK SABBATH WAR PIGS LIVE IN PARIS 1970!
Here I am at the age of 61 and have just repurchased the first three albums and am listening to this on my tablet at 8.40am with headphones on while still in bed on a Sat morning sipping on my first cup of tea of the day. And what comes to mind is why is this not being thrashed on our radios as this is so much needed today and its a shame that in the world we all live in today we will always have WAR PIGS living among us. Regards Glenn v from NZ
Heavy Metal and Hard Rock and "Metal" started with the opening chord of this guitar and then Ozzy's voice coming in screaming about how bad Viet Nam had gotten...History right here in your ears right now!!!!!
No. Metal started in the early 60s really. It isn't created by one person or one band. There were multiple elements that created it and it took time, it didn't pop up overnight. In Sabbath's first 3 albums you can hear a lot of Blue Cheer's stuff going on. Like in this song.
I’m so disappointed. I went to an antique market today and I literally saw this CD album sitting on one of the tables and I immediately went to buy it but then I thought I should wait just in case I saw something I wanted more. Later when I was about to leave I wanted to go buy it but couldn’t remember where it was. Damn it I could’ve gotten this amazing album.
About Genius Annotation 7 contributors As the opening track of the influential Black Sabbath album, Paranoid, “War Pigs” was originally titled “Walpurgis.” Walpurgis Night takes place on the 30th April to mark the eve of the feast day of Saint Walpurga, an 8th-century English missionary to the Frankish Empire. It is also believed to be the night of a witches’ meeting or sabbath. The instrumental outro is entitled, “Luke’s Wall.” It is one of the most-covered songs in history and is frequently ranked among the greatest rock songs of all time. The song talks about war and-like the hippies-Black Sabbath was totally against it, specifically the Vietnam War (occurring at the time), and although Geezer Butler has stated that: [“War Pigs” is] totally against the Vietnam War, about how these rich politicians and rich people start all the wars for their benefit and get all the poor people to die for them. And in an interview with Mojo in 2017: Britain was on the verge of being brought into it, there was protests in the street, all kinds of anti-Vietnam things going on. War is the real Satanism. Politicians are the real Satanists. That’s what I was trying to say. Ozzy Osbourne has said that: [The group] knew nothing about Vietnam. It’s just an anti-war song.

This and One from Metallica are the best anti-war songs ever imo
This album was stuck in the stereo of the first car i owned. Everytime i started the car up this would play. I never bothered to get a new stereo
Ha brilliant, fair play.
Song relevant now more than ever
Songs are irrelevant. Now and then.

Ik was pas 13 toen ik dit hoorde. Meteen fan. 4x live gezien.
Nu 65 en nog steeds geweldig. 🎸🎶
Such an undervalued band. They have such an appreciation of the blues and 'feel', the same as Led Zeppelin had a little more of.
uh what? black sabbath is very heavily regarded, not sure what planet you've been living on for the past few decades.
This just never gets old 🤘🤘

Funny to me how the only guy running for president that is anti-war is a Republican. Who'd have thunk it?
I'm f****** 57 years old and I still listen to this
MEEEEEE ~ 69 ❤🎉😊 !! BERNIE GERMANY
The whole rrvord itself is timeless and gold fr.philippines
This album is god as gold.:)
I agree
Sabbath

1970's were gold and so is 2023 real shit is coming down as prescribed
"Masterpiece of Black Sabbath and Masterpiece of the Heavy Metal Music"
I too enjoy listing to a song about the greed of man 😅
Metal started here Legend of a band.
@imuglierthanyou It was a bit different than Bobby Sherman, eh?
From “Bubblegum and Braces to this...?

@Влад Прохода They were the innovators that led to heavy metal, and metal bands, without sabbath no heavy metal!!

Actually, Mozart had a lot of songs that sounded very metal
These drums reminds me a lot of Paul Whaley.

discogs has it for pretty cheap i think
@@harysrodriguez9608 discogs is the best place to find obscure albums, but it's a bit pricey. My friend bought some buckethead albums there.
You "literally" saw an album carried by every music store in existence and "missed" a chance to buy it. What a literal disappointment.
To All the Past Generals of All Wars May they R.I.P CHEERS!😎
Geezer with that bass line in the intro....
And I'm not going to stop until I'm dead
Put it on 1.5x playback if you're on uppers. Put it on .5x if you're Matt Pike.
1 of my favorite bands ! 🤘✝️💀🔥☘️🐦⬛🏛🎸🎶⚽️🇬🇧
War is a thorn to be born again, soon. Scary.
Sweet!
Used to sniff glue and rock out to this ❤️
Glad you're still here dude 😂 🤘
