The peak of Sabbath in the arrangements, production and abilities. Tony poured himself into making Sabotage the finely crafted album that it is. He was deeply hurt and disappointed that it did not get the higher artistic recognition and commercial success that it merited.
I loved your reaction. I especially liked the white pupils on your glasses being reflected from your ceiling light. They moved with the rhythm of the song!💙☮️
Sabbath don’t get enough praise for how experimental and Prog-esque they were, clearly signs of prog on their later albums which wasn’t happening in metal back then
This is my Sabbath song….relax, turn the lights out, headphones on loud 🎶🎶🎶🎶I saw them play this song in El Paso in 1975…I got lost going back to the base 90 miles away….
This song dives into the mind of someone grappling with fantasies of power and control, which brings on a sense of loneliness and disorientation. As the speaker faces their obsessions, past errors, and inner battles, they experience a shift towards self-awareness enabling them to break free from the harmful grip of megalomania.
@@derekjhpeterson3882 Zeppelin: 68, 69, 70, 71, 73, 75, 76, 78 Sabbath: 70, 70, 71, 72, 73, 75, 76, 78 They moved so quickly in the early years that they caught up with Zeppelin!!
HEYYYYYYY!!! LOL😊BACK TO THE GREAT ALBUM THAT WAS ALLLLLLLLLLLL ABOUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, AGENTS, AND JUST THE IDEA OF BEING SABOTAGED😮 LA & CHE, AWESOME GUYS!!! 👍ENJOYYYY AND HAVE A GR888 FRIDAY! 💯
Hey guys big ups from the U.K, I'm a Midlander and it's great to see a new generation of brothers appreciating a big part of our heritage. Airplay beats is by far the best reaction platform i've found on here, have you heard of 90's Massive Attack ? a Bristol trip hop collective, 1st 2 albums absolute classics, tunes namely SAFE FROM HARM, DAYDREAMING, SPYINGGLASS deffo worth your airtime. Also the BAGGY scene from Manchester from back in the day, HAPPY MONDAYS, STONE ROSES...tracks LOOSE FIT ,.....FOOLS GOLD.......like the Stones and Beatles, they were taking American MOBO music and socking it back accross the pond with love,....TBH black and white fusion is still not greatly received in USA but i think you guys are helping change that...PEACE....!!
I got into Sabbath in 1971, when at age 11, I got Master of reality. To say that Sabbath created Metal, they did that in 70 with the first album. To say they were ahead of their time, yes, just like if I was transported to the bronze age, with a functioning mobile phone. Led Zeppelin and Deep purple don't even come close to Sabbath. Led Zeppelin, cock rock, Deep Purple at best heavy rock. Lets get it right shall we.? Sabbath not only created a genre, they did so with blues and jazz incorporated into a massively heavy package. They also had, always a hard hitting message, take it or fucking leave it. This was Sabbath 1970- 2013. No compromise. They had a way of making one song sound like a full freaking album. A complete journey. 6-9 minutes of sheer pleasure, over 60 minutes of tedium. Iron maiden springs to mind. Oh by the way chaps the rhythm guitar is Terry Geezer Butler, along with Bill Ward the greatest rythmn section in all of rock history. Butler was a lead guitarist who treated the bass as a lead guitarist.
They were undoubtedly a very good band, but it really seems like you've only heard a handful out of thousands of great bands from late '60s and early '70s. I agree with you on LZ and DP. The thing is, there were heavier or comparable bands around prior to their debut album's release. To say that they "created" a genre is a bit ignorant and really just paints you as a common layman.
@@dreggymon Ozzy's highest pitch? No Way! I love Sabotage and Ozzys voice is awesome! But, the song Sabbath Bloody Sabbath's mid song breakdown, with the low heavy ass riff, is the highest Ozzy voice pitch, hands down! No disrespect, but you might have overplayed that song. It gets easier to overlook? I love Ozzy's voice on the song Thrill Of it All is awesome as hell and high, but not higher?
@@MichaelBrown-x1q I'm talking the album as a whole. - this & Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are his 2 highest pitched albums, imo. From the 1st one, every 2 albums he got higher pitched up until this one, then he lost it a bit on Technical Ecstasy. I love his last two 70's Sabbath albums though.
@@dreggymon , see same with me! EVERYBODY shits on the last 2 albums. I do got to say, Never Say Die I like, because it's Sabbath still, but Technical Ecstasy is a really good album. Dude, that riff and groove on All Moving Parts Stand Still is so Badass!! So, I'm not going to try to comment on who is right about Ozzy's voice being higher, because I can see by your comment that you are truly a Black Sabbath fan, and so am I. And that is what counts and really matters!!! Thanks for your message!!!
Top shelf Sabbath. One of their scarier songs, w/ the echo/reverse echo stuff on Ozzy's voice, the doom drone guitar in 2nd half, and I assume Bill doubling Ozzie's vocals in much lower octave. It all sounds pretty creepy, in a great perfect way. I love Sabotage. Did you do Don't Start Too Late? Only 30ish seconds, lovely little thing sandwiched between Hole in the Sky and Symptom.
With this album guys, let the songs take you to a place where looking to take you!! And you'll understand why this album is such a classic all time great! It is their most Unique album. So creative, and diverse. But you'll see at the end of this album you'll end up really liking it!!!! Garunteed!
One of their very best albums together with Paranoid and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, which you already did. Wonder what you say if you come to Side 2. Supertzar is something really special :)
I’m sorry I have to disagree. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is better than this album overall. This album has a few absolute gems for sure, but also more filler. SBS is their greatest album to me.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath I just had to fix what I meant on my comment. I'm with you, I love Sabotage, but I took like Sabbath Bloody Sabbath a bit better myself! I cleared up what I meant!
This is not my favorite Sabbath album but, Ozzy's voice is probably at it's peak! I think most of the songs were about their legal battles at the time and their hatred for their Manager.
Hello La & Che, I thought I'd suggest something a bit different, if interested. "Dave Mathews Band - #41 - LIVE - Fiddler's Green Ampitheatre, Greenwood Village, CO" (by the channel: Dave Mathews Band) --This song has been recorded by some of the best in folk music including Liam Clancey, The Dubliners, and The Irish Rovers just to name a few. I thought I'd suggest you listen to one of the more traditional tunes, not to compare. But rather to hear the artistic differences and how incredibly different these artists can be with their artistic expression...this is beautiful stuff. (👂🍬🎧 ear candy) And as always, I enjoyed rocking with you. Thanks for sharing.
Just for clarity. This album and this song is retaliation to the FIRING of their producer for stealing most of the bands money over the past 4-5 years. This producer owned everything and the band owned nothing. Everything was in the producers name. They fired the crook, and produced this album as a FUCK YOU to him.
Bear in mind there was no pro tools, daws, this was all analog. So all the echoes you hear on ozzy's voice are tape echos expertly and painstakingly spliced onto tape. No computers involved This was really well engineered, with the rest of this album. The first albums are all classics, nothing to be taken away from that, but this is another level of musicianship and studio magic. A lost art for the most part. Not a perfect mix, but still a masterpiece for sure. I'd rather hear this than a modern remix. It's perfectly flawed.
The song seems mysterious gloomy and deep but I believe it's actually about their manager screwing them over for money and they're trying to get away from the situation...🤔

When the cowbell comes in you know they're about to take off.
Hell yeah, it's the best song on the whole album. Masterpiece
Their best album, they never topped it.
Man, agreed completely!
SBS > Sabotage
To me at least..
SBS tops Sabotage
The peak of Sabbath in the arrangements, production and abilities. Tony poured himself into making Sabotage the finely crafted album that it is. He was deeply hurt and disappointed that it did not get the higher artistic recognition and commercial success that it merited.
No question. My favorite album by Sabbath.
One of my favorite sabbath songs
Tony goes so fucking hard on this the man doesn't even have fingers , he's an absolute guitar god.
I loved your reaction. I especially liked the white pupils on your glasses being reflected from your ceiling light. They moved with the rhythm of the song!💙☮️
I have one word to describe Sabbath. Beautiful.
It's really cool to know that people are revisiting these classics of the old days!! They are the best!!!! Long live the Sabs!!!
Well, they have more influence now in a world with no new music………
That bass work is unbelievable
Sabbath don’t get enough praise for how experimental and Prog-esque they were, clearly signs of prog on their later albums which wasn’t happening in metal back then
You talk as if Prog is a good thing, lol
@@JoeandAngie what's wrong with Prog?
@@JoeandAngie ever listened to Yes?
This is my Sabbath song….relax, turn the lights out, headphones on loud 🎶🎶🎶🎶I saw them play this song in El Paso in 1975…I got lost going back to the base 90 miles away….
I play this album loud on Halloween to scare the kids away.
I might have to try that this year. 😂
@@AirplayBeats Muhahaha!!!!
@@puncht37 I alwayzzzz use Mifits "Halloeeen" and "Halloween 2..(Latin version)"....scares the beJesus outta the kids. Lol
This is the boomeryest fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd:yest thing I've ever read
Hellhammer - Apocalyptic Raids will do the trick - Triumph of Death especially.
This is the peak of Ozzy's voice.
My favorite BS album, along with the 1970 debut.
I like the echo effect on Ozzy's vocals. Obsessed...
he does it a lot on his solo albums

Better and better everytime you listen to it.
30 years and counting for me! 🙌🏻
OZZY ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE POURING HIS HEART OUT ON THIS ALBUM, HIS BEST!
Decades on and I still can't chose between this and The Writ. Six straight astounding albums (Don't worry lads, Vol 4 will grow on you).
Sabbath and Zeppelins first six were brilliant and pretty much at the same time.
@@derekjhpeterson3882 Zeppelin: 68, 69, 70, 71, 73, 75, 76, 78
Sabbath: 70, 70, 71, 72, 73, 75, 76, 78
They moved so quickly in the early years that they caught up with Zeppelin!!
Sabotage is by far their best album and this song is up there as one of my all time favourites..... crushing psychedelic heavy rock.
HEYYYYYYY!!! LOL😊BACK TO THE GREAT ALBUM THAT WAS ALLLLLLLLLLLL ABOUT THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, AGENTS, AND JUST THE IDEA OF BEING SABOTAGED😮 LA & CHE, AWESOME GUYS!!! 👍ENJOYYYY AND HAVE A GR888 FRIDAY! 💯
Can't wait for you guys to hear, Am I going Insane!!! The laughing at the end! I know you dig the arrangement of the song!!!
This song goes hard
As a 14yr old when this was released it made the hairs on my neck stand up😅
Waiting for you guys to continue this album!!!! Thrill of it All!!! The Writ!!!!! It's Sabbath, you'll love the rest of this whole album!
And the cowbell kicks it off into another dimension.
Wow I loved that change up and Ozzy sounds great, thanks guys going on my playlist now!
1st time hearing. Broke me open. God, what a trip. Thank you for sharing it with me, guys. Much appreciated. 🙏🙏
So glad you guys "got" it, one of Sabbath's most underrated songs, that riff is masterful, wait till you get to Symptom Of The Universe!
they already reviewed that a few years ago, i believe
Thanks for that, not been watching reaction videos for very long, I'll go and find it now.
Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘
So couldn't wait until you guys got to this. Woo Hoo!! Enjoy the ride.
love this song, brings back memories jamming this on max volume in my first apartment out of hs

One of my all-time favorite Black Sabbath songs! I saw them on this tour and they tore it up when they did this live.
La and Che doing Black Sabbath = 😎
The elements of this song have echoed for nearly 50 years.
Sabbath at their best, Ozzy at his highest pitch. The Writ is my favorite on this legendary album.
@@dreggymon Ozzy's highest pitch? No Way! I love Sabotage and Ozzys voice is awesome!

Been waiting for this one 🔥💪🏽
I LOVE THIS SONG! It’s nasty and trippy
A monument of a song.
This song was teenage me and what I went through/ choose to deal with it... aha memories 😅
Haven’t heard this for a long time and it still stands the test of time

Thrill of it all best song on that album
Such a good song.
The most UNDERRATED Sabbath album!
This was my first record I bought at 13 yrs old.
My favorite Black Sabbath song.
Absolute 🔥 as good as it gets in prog metal.
Best song off best album
I remember being in my high school girlfriends brothers room jamming this song for the first time. This album and song blew me away.
Masters of using that “dark” note tuning in guitar 🎸
Sabbath!!!
Sabbath at their pinnacle .. my favorite sabbath album & tune- so good Motley Crue stole Looks that Kill from it 😂😂

Thee one and only original

This album cannot get enough praise from me.
Can hear where Layne and some of the grunge guys were after the same vox expression during the end of the chorus
Great!
Top notch rock
Rifftastic!!!
MUCH RESPECT GUY'S

It was the manager and the label not the producer who was ripping them off. Producers don't handle bands finances.

"Prog Metal"
I’d have said the 5th!

Acid Rock

Laa and Chee! You are in deep now brother. Meglo is a very good non hit. Usually takes a few to get this one. Interested in your reaction!!
Actually can’t wait until you get into the Dio years. Heaven and Hell especially
What happened to Don’t Start to Late and Sympath
They reacted to Sympathy about a year ago... but it was a greatest hits version, so it didn't have the little segue Don't Start (Too Late).
And the other voice blended in with OZZY.
🤟
More Cowbell.
Fucking Eh !!
The song seems mysterious gloomy and deep but I believe it's actually about their manager screwing them over for money and they're trying to get away from the situation...🤔
No Its actually about selling your soul and trying to get it back
