I'm a 64 yr black old head from s.w. philly , my brother and I heard this song way yyyyyyy back in the day and immediately brought the album .As of 2022, I have every album Black Sabbath ever recorded .the greatest heavy medal band of all time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I'd say the opening half isn't bad but not Sabbath at their finest, but then THAT riff comes in. It's like they were holding back. The contrast is astonishing.
I remember mid 90's seeing Geezer's side project GZR at a local club here, and the dude didn't miss a beat... Ended up meeting him and bought him a drink, super chill guy
Still the heaviest riff ever. Scary shit when we first heard it as kids many years ago. Hearing that come through the speakers for the first few listens while looking at the LP art was terrifying and exhilarating!
Yes the cover illustrations were disturbing to a 14 year old the music is good this is why there is a term called "heavy metal" sabbath invented it nobody else did what they did 50 years ago
I bought this album WAY back in the 80's and to be honest, I never really payed attention to the artwork until I read this...I should be ashamed of myself...lol
@@glennkirchens7970 Yes, he needs to work his way towards that one. A lot of people didn't rate that one highly back in the day for some reason, but it is absolutely one of the Sabs' greatest albums.
"Man, that riff was sick!" Pretty much what everyone says when they listen to Sabbath songs. 😁 Tony Iommi was the original metal riff lord. So many killer riffs from this band. Great choice, Jamel! 🤘🔥
Nailed it man! James Hetfield has said that Mr.Iommi has already invented ALL heavy metal riffs so no need to do that anymore. Just copy and make some new arrangements :-D There is really not much left to do :-D
Just imagine with a historical ear in mind how crazy fucking heavy that riff must have been when this was brand new. I havnt heard anything yet from the era that comes close
@@zwood1838 The closest I have heard is probably the Japanese band 'Ningen Isu' who have been going for around 30 years and were heavily influenced by Sabbath (and a few other groups of that era). They're definitely worth checking out and, like Sabbath, are a bit of counter-culture in style from their Japanese contemporaries.
Almost in Wales. Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire, a couple of miles from Wales in the Forest of Dean. Hard cider, trees, sheep. Very unlike Birmingham
Under the Sun (Everyday Comes and Goes), Into the Void, Supernaut, Wicked World, Air Dance, Dear Father, Zeitgeist.... these are some of my personal favorite Black Sabbath tunes. Look passed the hits y'all, there are better tunes by this awesome band 🤟🖤
Black Sabbath was not only one of the inventors of Heavy Metal, but also of some of its subgenres, like Black Metal, Doom Metal and Sludge Metal. I'm so glad you did this legendary classic. "A National Acrobat" and "Sabbra Caddabra" are great, too.
@@SixStringSteve You're wrong. It's track number 6 from the album Paranoid, released September 18th, 1970. I know, because I have the album right here next to me. I was 9 years old when this album came out, and my older brother had it and played the hell out of it. You'd better check again, because you've got some bad info.
Black Sabbath is the greatest example of how music should sound. The clarity and crispness is insane. You can hear every instrument and the vocals perfectly. Today's music has a prerequisite Haze of noise, (mostly cymbals) that I guess some record companies or producers think is somehow needed. SET THE MUSIC FREEEEEE!!!
Sabbath bloody sabbath outro riff is heavier. Almost sounds like it pioneered doom metal. The bloody album was recorded more up in your face soundwise than master of reality.
@@123vid321 fuck yes, someone who actually has good taste in Sabbath. The lyrics to Under the Sun and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are beyond relevant and the music in general kicks ass. Not enough talk about the rest of their catalog with tracks like Wicked World, Supernaut, Sleeping Village, Hole in the Sky, Into the Void, Air Dance, and even tracks like Zeitgeist, Dear Father and Methademic. Fucking love this band.
Ozzy is underrated as a singer, especially back in the 70s, he was phenomenal. HIs antics and image have overshadowed how good he really is at both singing and coming up with good melodies.
@@ericshelden3945 I think it was not included in the original British release of their debut.. So it was kinda hidden, at first at least.. It is their most blues based song musicially IMO.
Under the Sun, Air Dance, Methademic, Dear Father, Hole in the Sky, Supernaut, Sleeping Village, Wicked World, Killing Yourself To Live.... Man, I could go on and on
Picking a favorite Sabbath song is damn near impossible but this may be mine. That bass and drum groove towards the end combined with Ozzy's higher pitched singing is just sick!
Are you Satan, are you man? You've changed in life since it began It began Vultures sucking gold from you Will they still suck now you're through The search is on, so you just better run And find yourself another way Probably dead, they don't feel a thing To keep them living for another day You are nonentity, you have no destiny You are a victim of a thing unknown A mantle picture of a stolen soul A fornication of your golden throne I've been a Sab head since the 70's, and while it's not hard to attribute the lyrics in the Writ to the recording industry. But, it reads to me as a disconnect from some evil force; perhaps, a satan type archetype...just sayin
When the second half starts up and Jamel's face looks like he just stepped in the stinkiest dog poo....then he realizes it's golden and gets into it some more!!
In 1978 when I was 10 years old I stole this record out of my older brother's room and played it on my little record player and have been in love with Black Sabbath ever since. Your reaction to this song brought me back to the feeling I had a lifetime ago. Thank you so much for keeping the great music alive!!!!!
48 yr old biracial kid here. Grew up on ll, dmc, kurtis, all that. Moved to new hood at 8-9yrs old. Kids were listening to this type. Got introduced to this. Changed my life, love music period, brn yello white black orange whatever. What drew me to this, was dark just like hiphop, beats, tempo and such. Took alot for reppn metallica slayer Sabbath all that the list goes on. Appreciate open minds, why it took so long? I don't know but appreciate it.
Pretty much in the seventies you heard about Sabbath through word-of-mouth not the radio. The first time I heard them was in my friend's car on his 8-track.
@@guitarocd9984 When I was a teenager in the 70's we had a progressive rock, album oriented station in Birmingham, Al. WRKK or K99 was where I heard Sabbath, Pink Floyd etc when no one else was playing them. They had really good programing with things like The King Biscuit Flour Hour on Sunday nights. I credit them with shaping my intetest in music and some of the most enjoyable years of my life. Sadly they went off air in the early 80's. There is a K99 facebook page that is interesting and I believe run by a former DJ.
@@guitarocd9984 ...I was in middle school...haha...it was junior high then...in the early 70's...A High School neighbor ...would let me hang out with him and some of his friends and they turned me on to Sabbath...Jethro Tull and Alice Cooper...among others...but they would not let me smoke weed...gave me a beer from time to time...no weed...great guys...
So many comments here about other Sabbath songs. What about this fuckin' song? It's a goddamn masterpiece! Sabbath at their best. Monster riffs, awesome transitions and a venomous vocal performance by Ozzy. That heavy riff in the "dreams turn to nightmares" verse still gives me chills all these years later.
Jazz guys. Tony can lay down a nice Wes Montgomery when he wants, Geezer can Stanley Clarke and Bill's left hand isn't as quick as Buddy's, but it's close.
I remember in an interview for a show on metal, it was Ronnie James Dio that pointed out that what made early metal so scary sounding was the use of notes in the minor keys (the black keys on a piano) that just sound dark and creepy. Add to that the fact that with a few exceptions the music was at an overall slower leaden, ponderous pace rather than speedy, the notes just give you the willies. Note the simple three note intro to the song Black Sabbath off their debut album. Those three ominous notes in the minor key are slow and scary, sending shivers down one’s spine.
My favorite Sabbath song, along with "Wheels Of Confusion" (do that one please!). A song about ugliness yet has one of the most beautiful sections ("Nobody will ever let you know...") ever. Tony Iommi mastered making heavy guitar sound soothing to the ear, right from the start.
just luv when you get your "stank face" on...we know you're feelin' it when you lay that look on us. Yo brother man, that whole album is the work of a mature band at its zenith IMO it's worth an entire listen...for your benifit
I'm 68 years old and have followed Sabbath since 1968 - I'm happy that you have picked this song to react to. Geezer, Bill, Tony and Ozzy all blast it out of the park on this one!
1983. 5th grade. A summer camp trip with family friends to a Minnesota lake cabin. A neighbor kid hands me a cassette tape with weird words written on it. That drop at 4:45 changed my life forever. I went from an innocent kid, to seeking out more heavy shit. Thank you, Black Sabbath. And thank you, Ted Ennis, for sharing that cassette tape.
@@Ozzmosisf35 i enjoy watching people reacting to Black Sabbath but I feel like they keep sleeping on Ozzy's solo career. Diary of a madman and Blizzard of oz are better than any Black Sabbath record in my opinion. Yes, Randy Rhoads was a rare talent and a tremendous loss to music when he passed away.
Jamal you are a intelligent deep thinker, don't ever change! Your reactions aren't just emotions they are a true reflection of how your mind works and it is appreciated. As far as the band Black Sabbath goes. Had the opportunity to see them back in the early 80s, perhaps it was 81 or 82. Concert was black and blue. Molly Hatchet open then Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath finished in a monsoon with lightning. They were still playing when the 70 mile an hour winds blew down one of the speaker Towers in destroyed the soundstage that was elevated. This Class Act said save your ticket stubs we are coming back to give you another free concert. Wow! Considering they had already performed for over an hour and a half. that is rare in the music industry. And yes some people did get hurt, our group sat Still. Other stampeded for safety from the rain and wind only to find themselves being run over by others. Sometimes being too stoned to move is a good thing. LOL
I think you're reaction to that bass-heavy riff, with Ozzy sailing in like a banshee, was much the same as mine when I first heard it. Pretty sure NOBODY else was doing that stuff at the time.
Wow just popped online for a minute, now I’ll be on all night. Great reaction. Imagine being a teenager, cruisin’ down the road and this came on the FM. Ozzy was a messenger, the band kicked ass! The beginning of metal in my mind.
Ive been a 🇬🇧Black Sabbath fan for almost my entire life, l literally remember when my friends older brothers talked about Sabbath in the early 1971, especially when l was a little kid in the 🇺🇸Bronx, when my friends high on sweat leaf talked about the 1971 🇺🇸Black Sabbath concert in the 🇺🇸Bronx! Yes the boys from Birmingham 🏴🏴England played the 🇺🇸Bx And by the way 🇬🇧🇮🇹Tony lommi is the heart and soul of 🇬🇧Black Sabbath.

One of their best! Keep the journey going, brother!

That sludgy riff in the second half of the song was the heaviest riff ever recorded back 1973, and still sounds like that today.
Yes, I'd say the opening half isn't bad but not Sabbath at their finest, but then THAT riff comes in. It's like they were holding back. The contrast is astonishing.
Ozzy should have been required by law to yell "Duck, bitch!" before that riff comes in.
@@KyleS3m3noff LOL,true that.
Agreed!!! It’s as if they hit you & then put it in reverse to back up over you
Yeah some of the stoner metal of today thrives off those types of riffs
Geezer Butler, one of the best lyricist (and bassist) EVER
not enough like buttons for your comment buddy
Fuck yes
was just getting ready to say it myself lol one of the bassists ever
Truth, period!
I remember mid 90's seeing Geezer's side project GZR at a local club here, and the dude didn't miss a beat... Ended up meeting him and bought him a drink, super chill guy
Still the heaviest riff ever. Scary shit when we first heard it as kids many years ago. Hearing that come through the speakers for the first few listens while looking at the LP art was terrifying and exhilarating!
And the cover art was done by one of the artists who would end up doing poster art for all nine Star Wars movies.

Black Sabbath way ahead of their time geniuses.
It’s a crime not to listen to ‘A National Acrobat’ straight after that
Honestly? It's a crime not to listen to whole LP :)
My very favorite Ozzy era song💥💥💥✔️

@@aslakrantakokko5347 yeah, something like “ All metal riffs are just Iommi riffs that are either reversed, sped up, or slowed down”
Almost every riff you hear today was ripped off from Iommi
WORD
The tuned down guitar at 4:45 and then Ozzy belting out on top of it is as heavy as metal gets.
Well said!! stoner time!
😈🤘🏻
The only way to listen to it is while head banging with an air guitar
🤘😈
Sabbath have such good groove. It’s almost funky to me
The drums on their song The Wizard is one of my favorites. Bill Ward was getting down on the fills in that one.
I love when the song breaks and it goes into the acoustic overlays, a mature Black Sabbath here.
A reason our brother Jamal needs to hear Symptom of The Universe. His mind will melt.
Still some of the filthiest guitar riffs ever recorded!
Amen

😱
Almost in Wales. Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire, a couple of miles from Wales in the Forest of Dean. Hard cider, trees, sheep. Very unlike Birmingham

I second this. That is one of my favorite Sabbath songs.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath Ya! If you like Bill Ward's drumming, this song'll part your hair down the middle!

"It ain't easy gettin to greatness."

Hand of Doom- Black Sabbath.
Keep great music alive. Amen !
A badass song. Maybe the most underrated song on the Paranoid album.
A fantastic yet underrated song.

This whole album is honestly insane. Sabbath proved with this album they could hang in there with just about anybody. Big time stuff here.
I love how I heard that high pitch voice and that nice riffs, just by reading the title.
Heaviest Sabbath song: "Into The Void." My favorite Sabbath song(at the moment) is "Megalomania."
Sabbath bloody sabbath outro riff is heavier. Almost sounds like it pioneered doom metal. The bloody album was recorded more up in your face soundwise than master of reality.
Under The Sun for me, but I love Megalomania too. Vol. 4 and Sabotage are my favs from BS. And yes, Into The Void is amazing!
@@123vid321 fuck yes, someone who actually has good taste in Sabbath. The lyrics to Under the Sun and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are beyond relevant and the music in general kicks ass.

Hard to beat into the void. Both songs you mentioned are sick. I Respect the taste dude
Megalomania riff reminds me of the outro riff from seek & destroy at about 6:16
This is the Ozzy I prefer: almost out of his range. He sounds so desperate and maniacal.
Ozzy is underrated as a singer, especially back in the 70s, he was phenomenal. HIs antics and image have overshadowed how good he really is at both singing and coming up with good melodies.
Black Sabbath
* Hand of Doom
* Electric Funeral
* Under the Sun
Great picks
Love Under the Sun!
Electric Funeral... favorite on Paranoid...
React to “The Wizard” by Black Sabbath. Ozzy is playing the harmonica. Its a great song and hidden gem.
Hidden from who? It's literally on their greatest hits. That being said, it is a fucking kick ass song!
Gotta be one of my favorite Sabbath tracks and it is criminally underrated.
almost every sabbath song is a hidden gem tbh
Quite possibly my all time favorite Sabbath song. I wore out that cassette in high school. Solid suggestion.
@@ericshelden3945 I think it was not included in the original British release of their debut.. So it was kinda hidden, at first at least.. It is their most blues based song musicially IMO.
The Godfathers of metal. 🤘

Nope
I really recommend Snowblind, Black Sabbath, Symptoms of the Universe, Planet Caravan and hole in the sky
Yes, I was going to recommend Planet Caravan as well. The Pantera cover of Planet Caravan is also well done.
@@kbusby4824 Agreed, I feel like Planet Caravan wasn't very recognized at the time it was released so I decided, hey imma recommend it

The whole album,but Looking for Today is a real deep cut gem from SBS.
Under the Sun, Air Dance, Methademic, Dear Father, Hole in the Sky, Supernaut, Sleeping Village, Wicked World, Killing Yourself To Live.... Man, I could go on and on
"Living just for dying, dying just for you."
Hand 0f Doom Bro. INTENSE
Broo
Oooooooh great request! Please Jamel.
Under the Sun
This shit right here. The originators of metal. Think about the year. This was SO fucking heavy, and still holds up today.
I recommend Under the Sun and Supernaut as well my dude
Commercially heck yes. I have to believe other bands were going heavy then that never got much exposure
Sabbath is my go to band. If there is nothing else that I’m feeling like hearing sabbath covers it.
My two favorite metal drummers- Bill Ward and Nick Menza(RIP)
Please check out "A National Acrobat" off this same record. I know you'd vibe with the lyrics. Plus it's one of Iommi's greatest riffs.
Forgot about a national acrobat. Thanks
I agree, it is one of if not Iommi's best riff. This whole album was so creative. I think their peak.
Spiral Architect as well.
SBS has always been my favorite album - The Bark @ the Moon of solo Ozzy.
Solid choice
Picking a favorite Sabbath song is damn near impossible but this may be mine. That bass and drum groove towards the end combined with Ozzy's higher pitched singing is just sick!
So glad you made it back to the Greatest band ever.
Jamal, the song "The Writ" is exactly what you are referring to. It was Black Sabbath's jab at the record industry and managers.
Must be listened to sliding from Am I Going Insane. Absolute gold.
Are you Satan, are you man?
You've changed in life since it began
It began
Vultures sucking gold from you
Will they still suck now you're through
The search is on, so you just better run
And find yourself another way
Probably dead, they don't feel a thing
To keep them living for another day
You are nonentity, you have no destiny
You are a victim of a thing unknown
A mantle picture of a stolen soul
A fornication of your golden throne
I've been a Sab head since the 70's, and while it's not hard to attribute the lyrics in the Writ to the recording industry. But, it reads to me as a disconnect from some evil force; perhaps, a satan type archetype...just sayin
Jamel you have discovered some of the most savage riffs ever created by humans. Sabbath slaps you across the face with this track.OOOORIGHT ✌☮
When the second half starts up and Jamel's face looks like he just stepped in the stinkiest dog poo....then he realizes it's golden and gets into it some more!!
Children of the Grave has some great drumming..
Electric Funeral
Supernaut
Symptom of the universe
And a very nice creepy end!
Into The Void
If you haven't done it yet check out Black Sabbath symptom of the universe and you got to check out supernaut too
And The Wizard.
Ahh damn just recommended Symptom of the Universe as well, the Wizard would've been the second one haha
Hey Ed!! Just Now sent The Same Request!! If Jamal reacts to it, He's Definitely in for a Treat!!
@@michaeldrennan9932 no doubt about it buddy

THIS IS THE BEST OF THE BEST......THAT WHOLE ALBUM AMAZES ME...''A NATIONAL ACROBAT'' OFF THIS ALBUM IS ANOTHER GEM ....
Symtoms of the Universe showcases Bill's skill even better....if you can believe it 🙂

Got hooked on them as a kid. Older brother playing them all the time. Listen to Ozzy's voice... excellent.
Dont stop more Sabbath plz this brought me back to high school 1979
They are going at the industry. They talk about the hard side of life in most of their records. We can all understand that!
This will forever be, hands down, my favorite Black Sabbath album. It's status and song are both simply legendary! 💗
Sabbath really got a bad rep...their music & lyrics hold up almost 50 years later.. just think about that.

SABBATH was the Metallica of 70's word of mouth or in some cases your uncle or a friends older brother would turn you on to them.
My mom was a Procol Harum fan & made fun of my uncle's Sabbath albums. Who is still out there? Who defined an entire genre? Who became rock GODS?
I love how, with this song, everyone makes the same scrunchy face when they hear the heavy breakdown section for the first time.
I still make that face and immediately start playing air guitar!

I've always felt like Tool listened to the breakdown on this song and just said "yes, that's it!" Thanks for this!
Bill has swing... That's the difference.
Jazz guys. Tony can lay down a nice Wes Montgomery when he wants, Geezer can Stanley Clarke and Bill's left hand isn't as quick as Buddy's, but it's close.
Bill Ward's drumming is simply beastly in this song....Just BAM BAM BAM.....
Ozzy has a very distinctive voice. That made him a great front man
No one else sounds like Ozzy you're right .Thats why he stands out
Symptoms of the Universe has a twist to it as well...
It was cool seeing Lost in Vegas' reaction to the twist in that song.
YES!! SYMPTOMS OF THE UNIVERSE, A LOVE THAT NEVER DIES,YEEEEAAAHHHHHHH
Under the Sun is amazing

just luv when you get your "stank face" on...we know you're feelin' it when you lay that look on us. Yo brother man, that whole album is the work of a mature band at its zenith IMO it's worth an entire listen...for your benifit
Another great choice!
Black Sabbath - Supernaut
- Into the Void
- The Writ 🤘🤘🤘
I am so glad you are doing this song. A hidden gem of Black Sabbath.
I'm 68 years old and have followed Sabbath since 1968 - I'm happy that you have picked this song to react to. Geezer, Bill, Tony and Ozzy all blast it out of the park on this one!
"Hole In The Sky" man!
In this era Heaven sent down the best of music to all of us
1983. 5th grade. A summer camp trip with family friends to a Minnesota lake cabin. A neighbor kid hands me a cassette tape with weird words written on it.
That drop at 4:45 changed my life forever. I went from an innocent kid, to seeking out more heavy shit. Thank you, Black Sabbath. And thank you, Ted Ennis, for sharing that cassette tape.
This whole album is amazing, my favorite of all time. When listen to it, I listen from start to finish uninterrupted. You should too!
You gotta check out Snowblind! That song riiiiips 🔥
Love the"you bastards!"
One of my all time favorite Sabbath tunes. Thanks Jamal!
Just one more song by them. SUPERNAUT!
Check out Megalomania from their album Sabotage.
THE THRILL OF IT ALL has the most badass riff!!
Megalomania is amazing
React to Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a madman PLEASE!
Love Randy Rhoads
Really wish he were still around. He and Uli Jon Roth invented Neo Classical Metal
@@Ozzmosisf35 i enjoy watching people reacting to Black Sabbath but I feel like they keep sleeping on Ozzy's solo career. Diary of a madman and Blizzard of oz are better than any Black Sabbath record in my opinion. Yes, Randy Rhoads was a rare talent and a tremendous loss to music when he passed away.
Black Sabbath was years ahead of the times. Them & deep purple are my favorite metal bands of all time.
Black Sabbath was the band that started my Metal journey when I was 12 years old in the mid 80's.
Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf."
"Into the Void" is a top 5 Sabbath tune. Off Master of Reality. Lyrics are apropos. And, "Speak of the Devil" is Ozzie's best Live album.
I could never get tired of hearing Black Sabbath! Rock on 🤘 🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸☮️☮️☮️
Jamal you are a intelligent deep thinker, don't ever change! Your reactions aren't just emotions they are a true reflection of how your mind works and it is appreciated.
As far as the band Black Sabbath goes. Had the opportunity to see them back in the early 80s, perhaps it was 81 or 82. Concert was black and blue. Molly Hatchet open then Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath finished in a monsoon with lightning. They were still playing when the 70 mile an hour winds blew down one of the speaker Towers in destroyed the soundstage that was elevated.
This Class Act said save your ticket stubs we are coming back to give you another free concert. Wow! Considering they had already performed for over an hour and a half. that is rare in the music industry.
And yes some people did get hurt, our group sat Still. Other stampeded for safety from the rain and wind only to find themselves being run over by others. Sometimes being too stoned to move is a good thing. LOL
If you want to heard bill ward at his finest rat salad is where its at.
..or to have seen one of his drum solo's when he played with Sabbath!
Supernaut was good
Children Of The Grave!
1970 Paris live version of War Pigs is Bill destroying the world with drums
I HAVE THIS *ORIGINAL* VINYL INSIDE THE *ORIGINAL* SLEEVE!!!!
I think you're reaction to that bass-heavy riff, with Ozzy sailing in like a banshee, was much the same as mine when I first heard it. Pretty sure NOBODY else was doing that stuff at the time.
Wow just popped online for a minute, now I’ll be on all night. Great reaction. Imagine being a teenager, cruisin’ down the road and this came on the FM. Ozzy was a messenger, the band kicked ass! The beginning of metal in my mind.
I see Jamel. I see Sabbath. I hit the like button before I listen. Simple as that.
Song goes hard 💯🔥
Ive been a 🇬🇧Black Sabbath fan for almost my entire life, l literally remember when my friends older brothers talked about Sabbath in the early 1971, especially when l was a little kid in the 🇺🇸Bronx, when my friends high on sweat leaf talked about the 1971 🇺🇸Black Sabbath concert in the 🇺🇸Bronx!
Yes the boys from Birmingham 🏴🏴England played the 🇺🇸Bx
And by the way 🇬🇧🇮🇹Tony lommi is the heart and soul of 🇬🇧Black Sabbath.
He never gave up on the band, even after firing 0zzy in 1979, Tony, Bill & Geezer , worked with awesome vocalist like , 🇺🇸Dio, 🇬🇧Ian Gillan(Deep Purple), and even 🇬🇧Rob Halford from 🇬🇧Judas Priest🎸 steppes in for 🎙0zzy, Rob has absolute respect for 🎸Tony lommi.🇺🇸🇬🇧💪🏽
