I'm amazed that everyone overlooks Geezer - not only the band's primary lyricist during this era but a huge part of the foundation of the Sabbath sound and the godfather of all metal bassists.
@@johnnyb6067 That and the fact he was using Laney amps with a treble booster, before him guitarists hadn't really unlocked high gain distortion it was more fuzz and overdrive. Easily the most important guitarist when it comes to heavy metals core sound
@@wc1994YES! Thank you for adding that, ya beat me to it. I always though that the tuned down heavy sound lays the perfect foundation for Ozzy’s sharpened high end vocals to soar over the top of the mix. Iommi’s injury really ended up shaping the Sabbath sound, in tuning down it also gave him the ability to more easily bend the strings up into higher register, as well as the prosthetic finger tip he had which worked well with the faster action of the Gibson SG.
That Gibson SG is a lot of the reason he sounds that way. My best friend has one and it sounds so different from the Les Paul and strat he also has. It can make such a dark murky type sound that seems to be unique to that guitar.@@CANDOKNOWHOW
A buddy, his brother and I got totally disconnected in the basement when we were maybe 20, turned on this song which was on a cassette SINGLE, and set the boombox to replay the tape when it played through. Shortly after, we passed out. Woke up two hours later to "cough cough cough" and have been hooked ever since.
For us metal heads, the unholy trinity helped us survive and thrive in the 70s. My main squeeze was Zep, but if I wanted my ass kicked, balls punched, and face melted, Sabbath was the answer. All three of those bands (Sabbath, Deep Purple, Zep) had some of the best musicians to ever walk the rockin' earth. Ward is one bad mother, and Iommi always found a way to push that heavy distortion down your throat and out the backside. 🤘🤘
I like the way you put that. Spot on! My favorite bands + Hendrix, Rainbow, Ac/DC and VH. However, I think that Zeppelin is the greatest band of all time.
They (Zep, DP, Sabbath) are the holy trinity of heavy rock, awakening people of all ages when they discover them. Then when you dig deeper and find bands like Hawkwind, Budgie... it was a fruitful time
Under the sun, Lord of this world, A national acrobat, Snowblind, Electric funeral, Megalomania, Supernaut and everything else from the first 6 albums up next? 😁 the inventors of heavy metal and still the greatest of all time! 🤘🏻
THE MIGHTY SABBATH...I think Tony chopping off the ends of his fingers on his last day of work at that Type Writer factory was a defining moment. He eventually melted down Dishwashing Liquid bottle caps and made thimbles allowing him to "sorta" play, but it was still painful. So then he moved to the lightest gauge strings he could find and TUNED as far down as he could, creating the Sabbath sound.
Digging in the trash. That has got to be the best description of becoming a heavy metal fan I think I have ever heard. I guess my trash pile is really big. ha Peace!
Trust me guys! There was NOTHING like this. Nothing! These guys chartered a whole new path in music. The funk mixed with the power chords mixed with the creep factor. Bill Ward has been in my top 5 from jump and still is! Its good to see him get some recognition finally. And finally...it was right about this time when as a young lad I found "Sweet Leaf". So lets add "timing" to another of Black Sabbaths assets. I ve been waiting on you to do this one. Love it!
This song always gives me chills and Bill Ward omg. I love Bill Ward. You got that right about the guitar....that's the Iommi factor. Tony is king. Sabbath is very heavy. The slow, plodding dark sound is HEAVY metal.
You're absolutely right. Black Sabbath created their own genre, and they've influenced countless bands over the years, but to this day, NOBODY sounds like Ozzy-era Black Sabbath. They remain unique to this day. And yes, Bill Ward is one of the most underrated drummers in history!
Tony Iommi (eye-OWE-me) the lead guitarist who invented metal and wrote the music, and Geezer Butler, the incredible bass player who wrote the lyrics are the greatest and most underrated music writing team ever.
Bands with one guitarist usually layer the guitars in the studio for a bigger sound, there were probably at least three guitar tracks in that mix, at least two when that higher harmony line came in over the main riff.
My first rock album and favorite reaction from you guys to date! I was cracking up. If anyone needs me I'll be digging in the trash with La! P.S. Bill Ward is a beast 😄🤘
Tony Iommi did have a way of tuning his guitar in a lower tone than almost everyone else. Also, if you look at his left hand when he is playing you will see little rubber caps in his fingers, the result of an accident on his last day at work in a metal shop, before he quit and went on the road with Sabbath. He was this close to not having a musical career at all. NO doubt what they are singing about here, that'd be ganja. Praise Jah.
That sound was a (perfected) combo of Gibson SG (guitar) tuned much lower than “standard tuning”, Orange Crush (amplifier), heavy doubled bass guitar (a lot of times) & just a monster guitar riff god!!🎸👍🏼
This guitar tone is the product of Iommi's ears. He created this tone. Also, I love how you guys didn't even bring up the pot factor 👏 it's all about tue music ; ) AND!!! It's NOT SABBATH WITHOUT WARD!!!!
Tony Iommi lost the tips of 2 fingers in an industrial accident and used some homemade thimbles so he could play guitar. This affected his playing and he played with lighter strings and lower tones to get the heavy sound.
First Sabbath album I ever owned. "After Forever", "Into the Void" and, "Lord of this World" are particularly good. That's not to say the others aren't. Thanks, guys.
I'm so glad I watched all the way to the very end ... that was epic!!! Thanks for that moment ya'll had together ... that made my day. And yes Sabbath is fire. :)
Love the heavy being upon y'all. It's all about these first steps. IMO and I say this in all upmost respect. Black Sabbath may have been the British birth of Heavy Metal but Steppin Wolf who coined the term HEAVY METAL was the first Heavy rock or metal, however you'd like to call it. Steepin Wolf baby!
thank you boys for continuing to do sabbath....a band like no other....im 70, my favorite group since the 70s...its great you appreciate the sound and the talent of all 4 of them..
First album I got of theirs in 1972 from The Columbia Record Club. Had no idea what they sounded like. Description said something like "exotic". Played it in my parent's room on their stereo. When that cough started and then the heavy fiff, I was hooked (for life)! I love OG Black Sabbath.
Hey John, is The Columbia Record Club still tracking you down to pay em’? You had to be on your game every month, or they’d be sending some God awful crap you were on the hook for. Nice one my man, that was definitely a blast from the past! 🤘😎
@ronaldelliott4373 Funny you should ask Ronald Elliott. How are those five copies of Captain and Tennille's greatest hits? Also, you still owe $7.98. We'll be in contact soon.
8:41 best ending ever ! Love you guys. 😂 Welcome aboard the Black Sabbath train, Che. You will be contacted in the future about membership benefits and the secret handshake. 🤘
Whoo-Hoo! We smoked endless joints to this song back in the day, this is the start of Stoner Metal for sure and several sub-genres on this ground breaking album. Tony Iommi, one of the truly greats for me and permanently best metal guitarist and in my top 10 Rock Guitarists, period. This whole album is a reaction for sure, it reverberates still, 52 years later. Sabbath still rules! All the naysayers back in the day were so utterly wrong, it would be funny if it did not piss me off, the critics hated them at first and took some time getting grudging respect and eventually their real due. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
I bought this album in 1971 when I was in Army basic training at Ft. Polk, Louisiana. There was a small base library with record players and a glass enclosed listening room, about 2 blocks away. Training ended on Saturday at noon, so I'd take this album over there and listen to it twice, rocking out with headphones on. The old lady who ran the library must have thought I was nuts or possessed, judging by the looks she gave me, but I didn't care. It was almost like an orgasmic release. This music helped me get through the intensity of my Viet Nam era training, and I still listen to it to this day, when the mood strikes me. I find it particularly enjoyable when it's stormy, with thunder and lightning..
LMFAO!! Great reaction guys! It blew my mind when I first heard this album..We would smoke and proceed to wear the grooves out of that record..Check out that first Sabbath album..You won't be disappointed..Peace and love from the old metal head from Detroit!!
After Ozzie left, Ronnie James Dio stepped in on the album Heaven & Hell. Bill Ward also left temporary for his family & Dio brought Vinnie Appice in on drums. 🤟
Had chance to see them live and it was absolutely amazing. Was the loudest concert i've ever been to and I've enjoyed many! Got to shake Bill Wards hand backstage while he was tuning his drums before the show. He was a true gentleman, incredibly kind. 😊
Ok brother ,Tommy the guitar player wen young work in stell company London W.W.2,and cut his fingers whit the maching and he make protesis him self for his fingers,and that makes this only particular heavy SAUND wen touch the guitar strings🤌👹check BLACK SABBATH Music Video 🎼TRASHED🎼🎩🎸🎵🎵🎵☮️watching from Puerto Rico🇵🇷💦great 🎧react Show Amigos✌️
Fantastic guys.. great reaction.. Geezer Butler wrote almost all the songs.seen them way back vol 4 era.bill Ward and Geezer where absolutely amazing..Ozzy and Tony well The rest is history...thanks for sharing guys ⚔️
This is why they are the Kings of Heavy Metal. This blew everyone away in 1970. STILL today is heavy as hell and it got the groove you crave. Timeless stuff.
My absolute favorite album. Solid from start to finish and heavy as hell. This is the album where they started using the C# tuning, and heaviness got even heavier.
Now you know why l said Black Sabbath is one of my top 3 bands, saw them as many times as I saw Zeppelin and that was a lot. Pink Floyd being the another one 🤘
You guys are the best. Love it when you're enjoying yourselves. This is the 1st track on the 1st album I ever bought, not sure it was appropriate for my 11 year old self, always a sentimental favorite. Maybe the greatest sludgiest sound ever. Wonder if this is when Tony started detuning down to D or Csharp, I don't know. Tony was the musical leader, the main composer, so we should all thank him often for this stuff. Also like the end of the song, when Ozzie's just improvising, makes me wonder if this is how he starts on songs. I heard he just sang sounds and nonsense at first on songs (Sabbath time at least), trying to find a vocal melody. He had a gift for melody, even though Geezer wrote almost all the words and Tony was the musical leader. Bill just being Bill on this tune, impeccable change from free solo part back to main riff.
I'm not 100% sure, but I heard that Tony started tuning down his guitar shortly after getting those tips put on his fingers, he felt it was easier to play with the strings slightly looser. Iommi has one of the most distinctive guitar sounds of anyone in Rock history.
YESSSSSSS!!! 🤘💋💋💋🤘 "I like diggin in the trash!" 🤣🤣🤣 Spectacular Reaction!!! Now go back and hear the coughing "on bong hit" intro! Toni Iommi forever!
They got completely destroyed by critics early on, I mean destroyed. This is the first album I ever bought, 1972 and I was 12. I heard it at from my friend’s older brother and was completely blown away. 51 years later it’s still in heavy rotation at my house. All three members besides Ozzy were as important as the others imo. Tony’s finger accident caused him to change his tuning and it is partially credited for that dark droning sound.
I was a sophomore in high school! I liked the heavy too! Zeppelin, Sabbath, Floyd, Tull. We smoked and listened to music. Just hung out,in who’s ever parents basement that weren’t home. It’s all head music, as we used to say! Just close your eyes and ride !
I'm amazed that everyone overlooks Geezer - not only the band's primary lyricist during this era but a huge part of the foundation of the Sabbath sound and the godfather of all metal bassists.
Canada Coast to Coast loves Black Sabbath and *Sweet Leaf* ... legally!
Bill Ward simply crushes the drums. One of the most overlooked drummers of their era. Keep up the great work!
Any top 3 drummers of all time list that doesn’t include Bill Ward is trash.
Says who? He’s always in conversation when elite drummers are brought up.
They and him, expand multiple eras!!
overlooked? More like the most influential drummer of the era.
Bill is the TRUTH, the whole truth and nothing but the TRUTH!!!!!!
Imagine you’re a teenager in the 70’s and Black Sabbath comes out with this love song for weed. It was crazy.
I bet everyone got shocked as I when u got that line kkkkkkkk
@@JPindanga huh?
Yes, it WAS crazy, our parents were freaked out about this band back in the 70's...and now look at us!!!! Rock ON!!
This is my favorite love song.
Amazing time!
Lord of this world!!
It wasn't just the grooves, they were the masters of dropping back into a groove. Feels like first drop on a rollercoaster every time.
Tony Iommi IS the Riff Master..
the guy accidentally cut off his fingertips and that couldn't stop him!
He's a real legend
That’s how he ended up with his sound.
@@johnnyb6067 That and the fact he was using Laney amps with a treble booster, before him guitarists hadn't really unlocked high gain distortion it was more fuzz and overdrive. Easily the most important guitarist when it comes to heavy metals core sound
Let's not forget that Tony was one of the first guitarists to tune down, which was necessary after the loss of the 2 fingertips.
@@wc1994YES! Thank you for adding that, ya beat me to it. I always though that the tuned down heavy sound lays the perfect foundation for Ozzy’s sharpened high end vocals to soar over the top of the mix.

Black Sabbath often imitated, never duplicate.
"The guitar sounds heavy..." the birth of Metal.
An anthem for my crew of stoners. Sabbath always found its way to our adventures.
Righto, Dan ..10/4

Black Sabbath - Snowblind
Under the sun, Lord of this world, A national acrobat, Snowblind, Electric funeral, Megalomania, Supernaut and everything else from the first 6 albums up next? 😁 the inventors of heavy metal and still the greatest of all time! 🤘🏻
A National Acrobat is one of my favorites,,thats a riff.
Ha! You guys are a trip! "Diggin' in the trash."
I love it! Rock on🤘
Love how your eyes widened when Ward did that drum roll half way through. You looked amazed at what you just heard!

Snowblind, guys. You will love the groove so much. ❤❤❤
.. and if the rest of Vol 4 plays, that's cool.
Blew them away.
Bill Ward is the most slept on drummer of all time. If he had the level of production that Bonham had, he’d be talked about way more.
Every song on the first four albums........GOLD !!!!
First six. SBS and Sabotage are also incredible. And essential.
“For me, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was the pinnacle.” - Iommi
I see Black Sabbath I click like. Always enjoy your reactions but this was a special treat
It's been decades since I indulged. Thanks for the memories gentlemen.

Oh Hell yeah... my favorite Sabbath Album... listen to it from top to bottom then run it again... Salute to you !!!
My intro to Sabbath. Never stopped digging.
Tony Iomi had his tips of fingers cut off in a job accident. He made home made fingertips out of wax so he could play. Awesome sound.
I believe it was originally bottlecaps
Only Sabbath can play that hard dirty gritty rock with a "I love you" being sung and some how being appropriate.
Ever single song on the album freakin rocks 💯 ! 🤘🏻
Geezer Butler, the bass player and main song writer, doesn’t get enough credit for his HEAVY bass lines! He kills it every time out.
Probably my favorite Black Sabbath song 🔥
A National Acrobat. You gotta do it.
they created the new genre called "Heavy Metal"
Man, Sabbath just ROCKS. Dark and evil sounding!
My neighbor gave me an 8 track tape of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath in 1979 and I was addicted to Black Sabbath until today Nov 2024
You guys are the best. Love it when you're enjoying yourselves.
