I wish people would listen to the message instead of this fan made video. Maybe its just my old ass having an iswith this video. Great song and love seeing young people discovering great music...
the video was made years after the song was written and recorded. The song was written as a war protest. Vietnam was going at the time and this was the band reacting to it.
@@johnp9298It's got nothing to do with the song though. This video is totally unrelated to the track and in my opinion should be ignored. Oh and I bought the Paranoid album when it was released. I was 15 at the time. 😊😎🎸🇺🇦🇬🇧
No, originally this was a song about witches and was called Walpurgis. Record company thought too "controversial" so they had to rewrite it and Warpigs was the result.
I was a young teenager when this came out and still love it today....what makes me sad about it is that we have LEARNED NOTHING....50 years later it rings more true than ever
I've been subscribed to your channel for about two years, and watched your reactions for a slightly longer time, but have never commented before. This is the most genuine reaction I have ever seen you post. I applaud you as this is one of the best songs ever recorded by Black Sabbath and is very eye opening, stunning, and true. I'm glad you were touched by this.
I love how Ozzy was (and still is) the biggest Beatles fan. And it’s almost like they took the torch off them in 1970 and took music in a heavy direction. Sabbath are so underrated in their soul and grooviness it’s unreal
Already mentioned, but remember to review in the context of the song and not the video. Many young "reacting" Tubers seem to get fixated on the video. The song was released in 1970, well before the video augmentation or interpretation of the song. The song is indeed a powerful classic.
Have you ever been to a place where they played this song live ? We played many places, one of them a garlic harvesting shed, and played this song. This is a song where everyone there sings along, they are all part of the song ! Yes, we had a singer, and he sang, but so did everyone else. It is an experience, not just another song to listen to.... I will never hear this song the same..... Geezer Butler wrote the lyrics.......
Possibly the greatest antiwar song ever and needs to hit the mainstream again! - Video included - Alot being done in our name without asking in the name of freedom.
Awesome reaction Maddy! When this song came out in 1970 it wasn't about Vietnam specifically. The title of the song was changed from Walpurgis (something to do with witchcraft) to War Pigs at the request of the record company. I just love the musicianship and Ozzy's vocals. The lyrics still ring true whatever the band's original intensions.
These are some pretty huge classic songs and so many lately!! I think we need a compilation video of all the “best moments” from day one to now. A video photo album look into the shirt closet history. Editor Maddy? 😆😆
It is not controversial, it is just the truth. I wish people would turn off their TVs and the news just for four weeks and use their brain in their new spare time. After two weeks everyone would know, that a lot of things are going very wrong.
A bit of history here: the 'war pigs' was a tactic developped by the roman legions against Carthago and their war elephants. Pigs were set on fire and released in order to cause panic and chaos among the elephants. The pigs that did not die by their burns were trampled by the panicking elephants. By extension, a war pig is a soldier sacrificed on the battlefield.
@@Jean-FrancoisPirenne, no more war pigs have the power Hand of God has struck the hour Day of judgement, God is calling On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan laughing, spreads his wings! Sorry, it’s the politicians that Geezer was writing about!!
@@Jean-FrancoisPirenneGoogle the lyrics!! Burning bodies are human remains, not pigs. I don’t think that there were ancient Roman’s with burning pigs scaring elephants in Vietnam!! Geezer was CLEARLY writing about politicians and generals!
This song came in 1970, but its so relatable in the present day. I believe things will get better, and we will all find our way back to one another. Great reaction! Subscribed
Geezer was the lyricist. It comes as a shock to a lot of people to realize Ozzy really wasn't a songwriter. He may have contributed here and there, but others usually came up with lyrics.
Ok….I’ve watched a few of your reaction videos now. Without being corny it’s not often beauty exists inside and outside a person. Your heart and message shines through. 💯
@@MaddyReactions I already have. After watching about 30 seconds of your Pete and Bas reaction to plugged in feat Fumes. I’m from the UK and they brought me to your channel. That’s another thing to thank them for! Now I’m about 10 videos in - your reactions are so authentic you don’t overreact like many so it’s so genuine. You’re easy to watch. I Hope you go far.
I remember years ago a story where Ozzy's mum asked him if he was on drugs and he said , " No , mum , just drinking " ,... he had her come watch a rehearsal where they played " War Pigs " and when they finished , she said , " Ozzy , are you sure you're not on drugs ?"
Thanks for getting to the classics!!! I forgot how this video tears out my heart. The audio/lyrics are serious enough. I see you're a Ren fan too, if you haven't already you should update yourself on the Ren/Kujo controversy regarding Sick Boi and the Bulgarian Choir with his 30 minute video explaining everything and then check out his video Kujo Beatdown. I'm loving you and your channel. Thank you for such fabulous and heartfelt content!!
Please also appreciate that this is from 50 years ago, there abouts, It's nice to see the youth be as emotional as we all were when this was realised. This is an excellent example of the quality of music and it's voice at the time. About to click into Hall and Oats, different, I presume. Enjoy and absorb it all. We have lived in very fortunate times. Nice reactions, keep it up there is a lot to enjoy.
black sabbath is my second favorite band of all time. my brother (r.i.p) got me hooked on alot of classic rock bands. this video is chilling. 2 lighten up things. maddy when you first start off your videos you sound like a dj on the radio. good day friends your on the hottest rap, since the sale at the baby gap. your listening to maddy on 105.7 the chicken nation of good vibrations. hit the sub button just right, and i might allow you to dream of me tonight. ok im ending that here. its ok to be emotional maddy. so next time the carpet wont comeout easy. remember this video it will give you the strength of 2 grinches and you'll be able to pull it out.
This is a well made video but it’s unofficial and it’s not really good for someone who’s never heard the song before. I’d rather first listens be to audio only or the live video. The early live video that I’ve seen has slightly different lyrics.
FYI, this video has nothing to do with the song. If you like Black Sabbath, I suggest going to the beginning with the song "Black Sabbath" on the album Black Sabbath. It starts out like an old horror film with rain and thunder and a bell tolling in the background. Then it goes into their signature sound. You'll love it. Thanks for a great reaction.
Maddy is my comfort reactor. Especially when reacting to one of the most relevant insane heavy metal songs of all time, trascending the subculture it belongs to and becoming an anti war hymn forever. Relevant to this day a 100%.
I still remember the first time I heard this. We had my dad's 15" speakers wired through separate amps, set up in the living room, no parents around and blasting our eardrums out.
I would highly recommend Black Sabbaths "electric funeral" (Music video) It's about the horrors of nuclear war. And Black Sabbaths' "hand of doom" It's about the journey of a addict.
This 'video' gets way too much attention for a studio cut made, what? - 50 years before it? Rather watch a Zack Snyder slo-mo fest while this song plays.
One of the greatest heavy metal songs of all time... I think the video is interesting but the animation takes away from the epic performance of Black Sabbath. This is a great listen... added to a mediocre visual presentation of someone else's interpretation of the song.
Black Sabbath is not only Ozzy....the classic quartet is the guitarist Tony Iommi (the only constant member in the band), the bassist (and main lyricist) Geezer Butler, the drummer Bill Ward and Ozzy. Try to hear the song again without the video. This is just a fan video that made some years ago and mainly distracts you from the excellent musicianship of Black Sabbath. Or instead you can watch the live version in Paris, in 1970...you can feel the ordinary sound that days....
Ok, I did it 😂. Subscribed. Been watching your videos lately and I like the taste your channel has. Humor, music etc. I just needed to get a bigger sample before I Sub’d. Seems perfect that this video was the one that got me. One of my favorite songs of theirs. Not just good music but substance in the lyrics.
We need to divide ourselves from those who wish to cause division & those who wish to be divided. In order to coexist we must be on the same page. Those who wish to live in a loving, caring & peaceful society can not live with those who enjoy hatred, violence & war. As much as we would all like to believe in a dystopian world, we have to live in separate places when we are not only on different pages but reading from very different books.
But, "those who enjoy hatred, violence & war" will not tolerate "those who wish to live in a loving, caring & peaceful society". They _crave_ power, via money, and they claw their way to the top of any power structure by any means; violence, deception, cheating, corruption. All of which, they enjoy. At our expense. The conflict between exploiters, and those who simply want to live their lives with their families in peace, has been a never-ending struggle for mankind. We go through cycles as corruption and power accumulation reaches a point of injustice where the masses will no longer tolerate it, a revolution of some kind manifests, then the cycle begins again, where the Evildoers regroup, reorganize, re-consolidate power, and take over. But our masters went to the best schools, and _they_ learned history. They know well and good how the tables will turn against them, and they've planned on how to prevent the masses from coming together. First, _divide_ _and_ _conquer_ , using the media to keep the populace from uniting. Then, develop a censorship regime. That's what the "freedom-loving" "democracies" are doing right now, by co-opting & regulating social media companies, so the public cannot have unauthorized sources of information, and cannot communicate freely amongst themselves. To "protect the children", and "stop misinformation". Then, surveillance systems. Your phone, your car, your TV, your computer. This is better than East Germany and "1984" combined. Then, a militarized police state to enforce compliance. Soon to be made efficient via AI, and without conscience, with drones and robots. We are running out of time. ⌛ 🚫⚖ [speaking of time, how long will this comment stay up?]
One of the few songs where Geezer gets to over-dub some basslines for two bass parts simultaneously during a guitar lead also overdubbed as a dual part. Makes it challenging to choose what to play when performing with a band.
This song & Deep Purple's Child in Time are two really great "War Protest" songs of 1970! This video distracts from the words of the song! So relevant today, as the world unfolds!!!
This classic song gets me teary eyed too especially when I haven't heard it in a while. I pray that our world does not eventually become a wasteland or a dystopian dictatorship. The possibility is definitely there if we ever go to war with China.
Ozzy wrote that 50+ years ago, but still relevant today. Masterpiece, Black Sabbath & Ozzy in their prime years. Great speech you did after the vudeo--agree 100%. Have a nice day.. yess, Ozzy dropped out in recent years (but he's almost 80 y,old). Some mental issues with years of alcohol & drugs abuse kind of destroyed him. But what he did in the 70's & 80's will remain on internet, so feel free to dig into it.
And both are precisely explained by the song. Terrible. She nailed the solution: do not allow the wealthy & powerful to make you hate your neighbor. Next door, or a world away. 👭🧑🤝🧑👫 Then, we're going to need to act. Together.
These lyrics and video are a hard watch but very prescient. Geezer wrote lyrics. Don’t worry about crying Maddy when you watch this - lots do. The moral of the video is that the man grinds you down but in the end people win. When the girl was climbing the steps and all those soldiers shot her she didn’t die and released her red handkerchief and it flew away in victory. We will win !!!!
When the king looks upon his lands and sees the peasants fighting among themselves there's no need for him to be questioned by them. That's why the people must unite and give the government back to the people.
The Godfathers of Heavy Metal. Their guitar work has never been duplicated. I don't think that they are identifying any one country, just war mongering leadership in general. And it's about to get ugly on that front right here in real time in our lives.
In my opinion,, One of the greatest anti-war songs of all time. 🔥❤️🔥

This one really hit you hard. *hugs*. The message of the song is more relevant today than ever. 💕🙏
Terrence "Geezer" Butler, the bassist in the band wrote most of the lyrics of Black Sabbath's songs.
The Geez 4 teh win!
My favourite musician, along with my favourite drummer and band
The song is 1970,the video is 2015.
The message is generational.
Bassist Geezer Butler is the main lyricist in Sabbath(He read a lot). Ozzy contributed with vocal melodies
I wish people would listen to the message instead of this fan made video. Maybe its just my old ass having an iswith this video. Great song and love seeing young people discovering great music...
Agreed. I was in school when this released and was there when MTV began10 years later. This - is a product of RUclips.
Exactly! The vid, while impressive in its own way, is just so distracting from the message of the lyrics and the greatness of the song.
The best way to listen to this music like I did was on a 8 track in my room with my lava lamp on and just listen and feel it.
I agree mate, this fan made video doesn't really fit the message.
Appreciate how hard you been working on the vids lately, you'll be 80k in no time 👏🔥🔥🔥
You already know! 🩷 Thank you ☺️
the video was made years after the song was written and recorded. The song was written as a war protest. Vietnam was going at the time and this was the band reacting to it.
Not so much. The film of the Hindenburg was made in 1937, before WWII. It was representative of German global expansion.

The album was released in 1970. The animation video is fairly recent. You should check out War Pigs live, 1970 in Paris. It will blow your mind.

"We" can always do what you hope. "They" divide and conquer. "They" control the message and "we" don't question any of it.
Oh my goodness, your comments in the middle with your emotion, really got me worked up. This is such an anthemic song, but wow. ❤
I have to say that this is my favorite Black Sabbath song, It's totally awesome.
Funny thing is, I remember when it was released.

As others have said, the song came out in 1970, the video much later. That was the Viet Nam war era, but as we all know: War...war never changes.
The video is fan made, the track recorded in the Summer of 1970.

We need to divide ourselves from those who wish to cause division & those who wish to be divided.
In order to coexist we must be on the same page. Those who wish to live in a loving, caring & peaceful society can not live with those who enjoy hatred, violence & war.
As much as we would all like to believe in a dystopian world, we have to live in separate places when we are not only on different pages but reading from very different books.
But, "those who enjoy hatred, violence & war" will not tolerate "those who wish to live in a loving, caring & peaceful society".
They _crave_ power, via money, and they claw their way to the top of any power structure by any means; violence, deception, cheating, corruption. All of which, they enjoy. At our expense.
The conflict between exploiters, and those who simply want to live their lives with their families in peace, has been a never-ending struggle for mankind. We go through cycles as corruption and power accumulation reaches a point of injustice where the masses will no longer tolerate it, a revolution of some kind manifests, then the cycle begins again, where the Evildoers regroup, reorganize, re-consolidate power, and take over.
But our masters went to the best schools, and _they_ learned history. They know well and good how the tables will turn against them, and they've planned on how to prevent the masses from coming together.
First, _divide_ _and_ _conquer_ , using the media to keep the populace from uniting.
Then, develop a censorship regime. That's what the "freedom-loving" "democracies" are doing right now, by co-opting & regulating social media companies, so the public cannot have unauthorized sources of information, and cannot communicate freely amongst themselves. To "protect the children", and "stop misinformation".
Then, surveillance systems. Your phone, your car, your TV, your computer. This is better than East Germany and "1984" combined.
Then, a militarized police state to enforce compliance. Soon to be made efficient via AI, and without conscience, with drones and robots.

Have a nice day.. yess, Ozzy dropped out in recent years (but he's almost 80 y,old). Some mental issues with years of alcohol & drugs abuse kind of destroyed him. But what he did in the 70's & 80's will remain on internet, so feel free to dig into it.
So true
Ozzy did not write this
It was co-written by Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward & Ozzy Osbourne.
It never stopped
I hope that you didn't get distracted by this fan-made video.
Me too, it has little to do with the song.
@@vicprovost2561they both have to do with war.
@@remshot1998Do you not understand what a loose connection that is?
@@remshot1998 Yep, and that is all.
@@remshot1998 And that is all they
have in common . Those that listen to the original audio only have much more to say about the actual song.
Hey maddy great reaction to one of my favorite bands of all time. Blessings from Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico, my name is Luis!
You may not know there are two large wars burning wright now in the world. No one should ignore that.
And both are precisely explained by the song.
Terrible.
She nailed the solution: do not allow the wealthy & powerful to make you hate your neighbor. Next door, or a world away.
👭🧑🤝🧑👫 Then, we're going to need to act. Together.
The soundtrack of my High School years.
These lyrics and video are a hard watch but very prescient. Geezer wrote lyrics. Don’t worry about crying Maddy when you watch this - lots do. The moral of the video is that the man grinds you down but in the end people win. When the girl was climbing the steps and all those soldiers shot her she didn’t die and released her red handkerchief and it flew away in victory. We will win !!!!
When the king looks upon his lands and sees the peasants fighting among themselves there's no need for him to be questioned by them.
That's why the people must unite and give the government back to the people.
The Godfathers of Heavy Metal. Their guitar work has never been duplicated.
I don't think that they are identifying any one country, just war mongering leadership in general. And it's about to get ugly on that front right here in real time in our lives.
What a wonderful reaction ❤. Subbed
