True, though 20 years ago you'd of been hard pressed to find a single American who didn't support it. And if you had, they'd of probably been plastered on a terroist playing card.,
@@somersetcace1 Agreed! I supported going in and getting Bin Laden and destroying the Taliban as much as they could be destroyed. What I never supported and knew would fail was the attempted nation building.
@@tallykev6608 Yep, I'm with you on that. It's a fools quest, especially in a country like that. It also didn't help that we split not only our forces, but focus in then invading Iraq. We also lost quite a bit of foreign support. All of which would have been necessary to even have a chance of truly eliminating the Taliban. However, I'm not even sure that would have mattered. Afghanistan isn't called "The Graveyard of Empires" for nothing.
@@somersetcace1 don't get me started on Iraq! Agree that even with more outside support it would have been a long shot to wipe out the Taliban. It's a religion/way of life as much as it is an army or government. The resistance had to come from the people rather than the U.S. government. Massoud was probably the best chance they had and he was whacked early on.
In '74 my friend and I were riding our bikes behind a K-Mart that doesn't exist anymore in El Toro CA and I found 2 Black Sabbath 8-Tracks by a dumpster; Paranoid and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. They're still my fave along with Zeppelin.
Ozzy’s voice in this song sounds like a maniacal preacher giving his sermon. His delivery so fits the music. I think in much of Ozzy’s vocal work is not classic but maniacal and it is so appropriate for the music and lyrics.
ozzy is ozzy, But this song is all about Tony Iommi on guitar, Geezer on bass and OMG Bill Ward (with the most simplistic drumkit) absolutely destroying it. I love Ozzy, but nobody in the World had heard music played like this when this was released
This was an amazing concert when they promoted this album. I used to love to put my headphones on and crank this up late at night when the house was quiet. Good song choice!
Ditto here...Born in '55... And you're right....That year the Beatles happened to split....But, who cares! 🙂 When we had Sabbath, Grand Funk, Zep, Hendrix and Purple... Freaking awesome year..Freaking awesome times 👍
First time I heard this song, I had goosebumps for days after that. As an aspiring kid musician I just couldn't fathom how you could create melodies and music like this.
Great reaction guys , and thank you for not using the version with the attached fan video , that has nothing to do with the song , reactors who use that version get into commenting on the video instead of the song n music , thanks again .
Some years ago I was in a cover band and one of the songs on the list was War Pigs. I always enjoyed playing this song. I was the bass player and I actually learned Geezers bass lines....boy were they tough!
This song was one of those that was big in Vietnam. You would often hear it playing on someone's cassette player. (Civil Air Patrol then Air Force ✈️ here) And of course in in America some places it was a radio hit and others it was banned. Considered a protest song. Appropriate for what's happening today. We , 14 of us, seen Sabbath in 81. It was the black and blue concert Molly Hatchet then Blue Oyster Cult followed up by Black Sabbath. All had their sound systems combined outside at a baseball Stadium. It was summer but monsoon season in AZ. We were prepared with a tarp when a Habu blue in. Ozzy was still belting away while they played with the Thunder roaring in the background and lightning flashing. They didn't see what was coming their backs were faced to it. It blew much of the soundstage with the mixers over, and damaged most of the speakers. There was the field where there was chaos. Everyone else was making a stampede for cover. We pulled that giant tarp over us and watched. Immediately after they ran off stage they said hang on to your tickets, we're coming back to do it again. And again they did. It was at the ASU Activity Center in the '70s when Ozzy bit a head off the bat. What a great time to be young. Except for Vietnam and the Cold War hanging over our heads.lol Perhaps it won't be long before once again you'll have your draft number memorized. ✌️☮️ 🤠🐂🏞️🛩️
The i ntro just reminded me of the slog of war. Been a sabbath fan since i was a teenager in the 80's in the 90's i was in a war in europe and this intro would be on repeat in my head as me and my mates would be heading to our next objective. Picture moving slowly through the terrain, eyes looking everywhere but constantly moving forward
This song took criticism back in the day because it mentioned the name Satan. At the time I just thought they were stupid because the lyrics are actually talking about judgement day and the evil war mongers getting their just reward. It wasn't until years later I realized, no, they knew exactly what this song was about and they didn't like it one bit. So, they made up an excuse to attack it.
I saw them at Madison Square Garden with Van Halen..OMG, they both kicked a**! First time I ever heard Black Sabbath, my friend at the time (bass player in a famous band) brought me there to show me what heavy metal sounded like...I was not able to move in my seat the whole time. They opened with "Iron Man" and it was loud/intense. WOW!!!!!
I remember being a little “Catholic school” kid w/my friends screaming these lyrics in the halls, because we were against the Vietnam War, of course I was constantly in detention 🤣
There are nodding Dogs on the dash boards of Camper vans that have travelled the world that have nodded less than the 3 of you for this tune! That was a great reaction to my favourite tune for decades. I really enjoyed that (I don't mean to brag but I saw them live twice((I'm bragging a little)).
🦋 I Remember Back When I was 7yrs Old Listening to this On An old Record Player it was the Summer Of 83'. I still have that very same Vinyl Album. It Has Been And Always Will Be A favorite Of Mine! Awesome Song Reaction Guys! 🔥🎶🕯🎶🤘😏🎶🕯🎶🔥 ''Electric Funeral'' Is Also A GREAT ONE!
Great job, guys. There's a chemistry that works amony you three. Keep it up. A song to listen to, possibly? Try Godley and Cream's "cry", maybe you guys would dig it. Thanks again.
I know this song was against wars in general but it came out during the Vietnam war so maybe it was specifically written for that conflict. Either way they get their point across. Nice job guys. I can see you growing in leaps and bounds very soon!
The Paris 1970 Live version will absolutely stun you. I know y’all try to stay away from Live versions, but this-much like “Comfortably Numb” Pulse concert-is well worth it. Bill Ward’s drumming is mind boggling as is Iommi’s guitar work. Really…no words
When I'm hearing this guitar sound in War Pigs I'm always thinking about Hendrix. It's like a doom metal Jimi Hendrix tone. Love it. One of the most important songs ever recorded.
Here's a link to a version of War Pigs by the Estonian band Rondellus. They made an album called Sabbatum which comprised of Black Sabbath songs played using medieval instruments and sung in Latin. Here's the link to their version of War Pigs (Verres Militares). th-cam.com/video/AX2y51ixsu8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks guys, one of my favorite BS songs, a rockin tune! I have 2 suggestions for you. April Wine 'I like to Rock' (live basement version). Also, 'Gov't Mule' did great remake of War Pigs, check it out. And icydk, Govt Mule started by 2 members from the Allman Brothers. And their live version features fomer Metallica bassist Jason Newsted. Enjoy watching your reactions. Rock on!
I was born and lived in Louisville, ( Hikes Point area ) gonna give you guys a sub and a like. Song suggestion, Tempest by Tool from the lp Fear Innoculum
My opinion, this is still the Greatest Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal song of all time, FAIRIES WEAR BOOTS is not far behind, my opinion, HIGHWAY SONG is the greatest FM radio song, WAR PIGS did not start out on the radio, you may hear it now if you listen to radio, but not for years.
Mount Rushmore needs the Holy Trinity of Metal, I would suggest this, along with Led Zep "stairway" and Deep Purple "Sweet child in time" the fourth spot is up for grabs....who do you suggest?

Sabbath, Purple, Led Zep, Floyd: what a great time it was to be a kid.
Don’t forget GFR
As we pull out of Afghanistan after 20 fucking years of futility, we should remember the lyrics to this song...
50 years old and this song is still relevant today.

There's so much shredding in metal, but to me nothing beats a heavy, hard slow slog. Brings you back to the blues roots of metal.

I seriously wonder how many times I've listened to this song throughout my life? Easily into the high triple-digits.
For me it has to be in 5 digits...

This album came out when I was a senior in high school. I'd never heard anything so heavy. Blew me away! I was immediately a fan.
Guitar chords are perfection, as Bill Wards drumkit begs for mercy
This whole album is fire! Great reaction guys!! 🔥🤘🔥
The kings of heavy-metal Black Sabbath is a necessity in life.
I have heard this so many times over the 50+ years i've been a fan and none sound as crushing and down and dirty as the original version. Fk love it
This was an amazing concert when they promoted this album. I used to love to put my headphones on and crank this up late at night when the house was quiet. Good song choice!
This is simply one of the finest songs ever recorded!
you must check out the 1970 Paris live version of this. It is off the hook, especially Bill Ward just killing that poor little drumset
I always wanna rush up to him and put a headband on him.
.
Bill Ward and Ozzy being Ozzy on stage..Only just a young lad.. 🙂
I was 15 when this came out and it was one of the best summers I ever had. Everyone I knew had this album. 1970 had some incredible music ❤️
Ditto here...Born in '55... And you're right....That year the Beatles happened to split....But, who cares! 🙂 When we had Sabbath, Grand Funk, Zep, Hendrix and Purple... Freaking awesome year..Freaking awesome times 👍

My first concert was Black Sabbath, I was like 12 !!! Saw Ozzy a few times when I lived in the 502 !!! Southern High School 1976 grad !!!
This track is Mt. Rushmore indeed... Very few TRUE metal fans would debate that.

You guys get this song. Being 66 myself, I really appreciate that.

These guys invented metal, the first ,the best

This is about how much war cost. War Pigs. Money money 💰

You guys should check The Wizard by these guys
chills every time, and those drums 😍 #Ward
I’m new to y’all’s channel and I’m super glad I found you! Your all adorable and great to watch! 🤘🖤🤘🖤🤘🖤
One of my favourite songs
If it was the only song they ever recorded they'd still be one of the best bands of all time.
Damn right !
Chill chill
Oh, yes

Ozzy, Tommy Iomi, Geezer Butler. Ronnie James. Legends!

Snow blind snow blin6 snow blind
The drop is the greatest ever.🤘
Legend.
Oh yeah, it's Sabbath innit 👍❤️🎼🎶🎶🎵🎵
👍👍Good choice!!!
Bill and Geezer's contribution to this track is absolutely outrageous...
We used to get high listening to this album!
You ain’t seen nothing until you’ve seen Bill Ward murder that drum kit in the Paris 1970 live version.
Yes!🤟
Can I suggest a moment's silence to honour the sacrifice of that brave little drum kit, R I P.
You guys should listen the Paris 71 version (live).
Another great drummer is on Rush, Tom Soyer. They had to do first aid on the drums because the drummer beat them to death.
Great job, guys. There's a chemistry that works amony you three. Keep it up. A song to listen to, possibly? Try Godley and Cream's "cry", maybe you guys would dig it. Thanks again.
I know this song was against wars in general but it came out during the Vietnam war so maybe it was specifically written for that conflict. Either way they get their point across. Nice job guys. I can see you growing in leaps and bounds very soon!

Man the live in Paris
This song is the first one on Mt Rushmore than find 3 more .....song changed my life
Now you should react to the live 1970 Paris version. The energy is crazy.
Nah
Synchronized head banging at its best!
Oh yeah that head just starts moving!!
🔥 one of the best albums Ever!!
When I'm hearing this guitar sound in War Pigs I'm always thinking about Hendrix. It's like a doom metal Jimi Hendrix tone. Love it. One of the most important songs ever recorded.
Hand of Doom
I bought this album when it came out, they are one of my favourite and love this song...I'm all about the drums here. Next favourite song is Ironman
Old men talking, young men dying.
Gotta do more Sabbath!
When the album was made the majority of uk citizens would have remembered sirens when Germans dropped bombs on London and Birmingham etc.
It's sort of like the same feeling I'm sure Roger Waters could reminisce drawing down memories of his dad from WWll when he conceived The Wall...🤔
absolutely Mt Rushmore of metal songs! It's one of the greatest songs ever...no matter what genre!
check out the Paris Live version.......and remember its 1970
The very first chord brings on the most stank faces ever, including mine!
They did a short stent with Ronnie James Dio as lead singer, check out the Heaven and Hell album that album is a banger from start to finish.
I preferred when they had Ian Gillan
Geezer Butler is an underrated bass player. He shines on NIB.
Faith No More cover is brilliant.

Hey guys check out the song Roads To Moscow by Al Stewart. The song is about war, beautifully haunting. You'll love it!
Faith No More!!!!
A Black Sabbath song is usually 2 or 3 songs in one.
I was born and lived in Louisville, ( Hikes Point area ) gonna give you guys a sub and a like. Song suggestion, Tempest by Tool from the lp Fear Innoculum
You need to watch / listen to the live performance in Paris in 1970
Nah
You really don't have to do the live version in Paris. It will be worth your time.
My opinion, this is still the Greatest Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal song of all time, FAIRIES WEAR BOOTS is not far behind, my opinion, HIGHWAY SONG is the greatest FM radio song, WAR PIGS did not start out on the radio, you may hear it now if you listen to radio, but not for years.
