Way to go Andrew, I hope you don't run your dumming business the same nefarious ways as you steal someone else's ideas and then erase them. It's a good thing not all people are easily fooled.
@rudeboy4710 wow, I'm surprised he didn't erase this comment the second I posted it. What happened was in his video Black Sabbath The Writ, I left a comment saying "if you're digging this album you have to react to THRILL OF IT ALL. It's a killer song that is seldom talked about nor ever requested ". The comment gained alot of likes and a week before he reacted to THRILL OF IT ALL my comment kept getting buried by this guy Matt Tee and I couldn't figure out why. So he reacts to it and and in the beginning of the video he thanks his patreon member Matt Tibble for the request, and come to find out Matt Tee is short for Matt Tibble. So they took my request for this song and Andrew fed it to his buddy Matt for the credit, and Matt gave Andrew money for playing the song, and that's why my comment was getting buried a week prior to reacting to it so as for nobody to see it. Funny enough though, a month and a half later my comment was still gaining likes for the song and I guess Andrew couldn't get past that, so he finally erased my comment as to wipe away the evidence. So when he erased it,that's when I posted this. I'm way past this now, I just thought it was pretty spineless at the time, here I am trying help the guy out cause I know Black Sabbath pretty well and he goes and kicks me in the balls for it. So word to the wise don't feed this guy any ideas because he'll give them to his patreon members for credit so he can get money for it like a prostitute.
Andrew, you are obviously a learned man and I'm not blowin' smoke. I therefore love seeing your honest reactions and listening to your thoughtful commentary on a band that I've loved so much for FIFTY years! You justify my love of Black Sabbath with every installment I see. Thank You So Much Andrew!😎
Just to clarify this is the 4th song from the Sabotage album you have done, you've previously done Symptom of the Universe, Megalomania and The Writ. Also along with Symptom of the Universe and Megalomania, The Thrill of It All is the 5th part of the greatest 27 minutes of music ever recorded... you'll just have to do Hole in the Sky/Don't Start (Too Late) to complete that experience!
@@jayedwards4787 - Most people I know would argue that the first 6 were their best. Personally I rate SBS and Sabotage as easily their best with SBS marginally edging out Sabotage because it doesn't have 'Am I Going Insane' on it! But hey, we all have different opinions, life would be boring if we didn't!
Sabatoge is probably my favorite album overall because even though you can tell it was a different time technologically the feel of the mix was perfect
Andarchy138 I checked to see if they switched producers. They didn't . Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was the prior album. Same studio....Same Producer....Sabbath produced both albums.
It's astounding how good Sabotage is. The polished production and the quality of every single song on that record every time just blows me away. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was very experimental and almost as good as Sabotage, but Sabotage has that cohesiveness Sabbath Bloody Sabbath doesn't have. As Sabotage is the perfect Hope Diamond, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is that box of rubies, and emeralds. Sabotage is a 99.99999%, as close to perfection as an album can get. The Thrill of it All will be in my head for next week on a tape loop. So good.
I used to love SBS as their greatest album, if only for A National Acrobat, but I believe you're right. Sabotage is probably their peak. It's certainly Ozzy's peak vocally for me and overall it's far heavier than the previous album. Heavier even than Heaven and Hell I think.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath vs Hole in the Sky = Sabbath Bloody Sabbath easily Fluff vs Don't Start (Too Late) = Fluff A National Acrobat vs Symptom of the Universe = A National Acrobat Sabbra Cadabra vs Megalomania = Sabbra Cadabra Killing Yourself to Live vs Thrill of it All = Draw Who Are You? vs Supertzar = Who Are You? Looking for Today vs Am I Going Insane? = Looking for Today Spiral Architect vs The Writ = The Writ 7-2 to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
I love your Sabbath videos. The fact that youre introduced to them now, and have fallen in love w/ their talent is amazing to me. Keep listening to Sabbath and your days will be well.
I've always felt like when the drums come in at 2:45, they're behind the beat to the point that it creates a sense of implied shuffle that pushes against the straight 8ths of the guitar riff. Hence the funk.
Excellent! For me, Sabbath’s peak was “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” and “Sabotage”. Those albums rarely left my turntable when I was in high school and seeing them on the “Sabotage” tour is still a favorite concert.
Out of all the bands you have done a reactions to, when you do a Sabbath reaction you light up like a kid in candy store. You mentioned while doing the reaction that this was your 2nd reaction from Sabotage. It was your 4th. The Thrill Of It All, Symptom Of The Universe, The Writ, and Megalomania. Hole in the Sky ...1st song on the album is a classic. Great reaction
I love being able to listen to my favorite band and learn more about drums and songwriting. As a guitarist writing my own drums is the hardest thing so this has been helpful. Even tips like keeping the tempo slow and leaving space for a funky sound, its stuff I have observed in life and understand but didn't know how to put in words. It gives me a deeper understanding of what I already know even.
When this album came out I was playing it all the time! Saw them on the tour after this album in December 1975, incredible concert with Leslie West as the back up band! Thanks for doing so many Sabbath tunes, Bill Ward was one of the best rock drummers ever!
It's like Christmas morning, getting up, and Andrew has a new Black Sabbath reaction....Merry Freakin' Christmas. Andrew, I believe you have only touched the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album once so far. I would request the title track "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath". To this day it has THE heaviest riff in music history. The album (their 5th) is considered, by the band itself, as the peak Black Sabbath. Cheers.
What a great way to start the day before I go to work cooking for half the town while experiencing the thrill of it all. Restraint: the word for today. How Black Sabbath continuously executes it flawlessly while the songs tug at the reins.
Just stopped by the channel while listening to some Sabbath wondering "I wonder if Andrew has reacted to any more Sabbath recently" and well.... cheers! I was listening to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, sick riffs
Thrill of it All is one of my 10 fave Sabbath songs because of the drums. Sounds like something Bonham would do. Simple, right in the pocket and effective! Ward laying it down
Its so good to see someone doing these songs. Sabotage is my favorite Sabbath record. So much orchestration with this song, The Writ, Symptom of the Universe, and Megalomania. I mean, harpsichord in metal, c'mon!
Thanks for doing this song. I had forgotten about how good it was. Plugged back into some playlists! I will second another poster's suggestion for Hole in the Sky from the same album. Killer tune.
I'm about to purchase a brand new turntable and speakers. Have decided that this album will be the first vinyl purchase. Just love these tracks more and more, they improve with age.
This is the fourth song you’ve done from this album .., symptom of the universe , megalomania and the writ all from this album. All you are missing is hole in the sky !!! You have to do Johnny blade off of never say die or all moving parts from technical ecstasy !! Both great ! Looking for today off of sabbath bloody sabbath great drumming.
Bill Ward's snare work on both Johnny Blade and Looking for Today showcases his jazz comping skills and, especially the latter song, is SO smooth (effortless?), is it's transitions. One of my fave songs! So happy and upbeat tune ( don't ask me about the lyrics, I have know clue - I'm a drummer!!😅).
Great job getting to this one @Andrew RooneyDrums! Killer start to side 2 of the album. Bill's flam/double bass rumble fills to accompany Iommi's recurring motifs are actually slight variants of the enigma that remains from Bills double bass work on the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath title track; SBS, which, as a song, although insanely epic in ALMOST EVERYTHING, loses some of his double bass definition in the mix. We always used to joke that you couldn't always discern some of Bill's bass drum work on THE SBS album because of his reported poor hygiene (allegedly). He was the butt of many band jokes, not least of which was Tony setting fire to him in the studio (for a laugh), Bill getting 3rd degree burns on his legs, and a red faced Tony Iommi being summoned to the phone to answer to Bill's mum!! Brilliant. NIB on the first album is a then joke about Bill's beard (looking like a nib of a pen). We are all still waiting for a remaster of SBS that does more sonic justice to his bass drums articulation! 50th anniversary of SBS this year, so one can hope......Cheers again for taking the time to hear all these wonderful ideas come together in one song, The Thrill of it All! [The final take for this song was accidently wiped from the console by engineer Mike Butcher when the band were taking a break in a pub around the corner during the recording sessions! A disbelieving band had to get it all down again..... Bill particularly narked because it had taken a long time to get down the songs cohesiveness. As a result, on the album liner notes it mentions Mike Butcher: Chief Saboteur.
One of the things that makes this album sound a little different that people don't catch, is that Ozzy is relying much less on DOUBLING his vocals and relying much more on pure REVERB and a much more aggressive screaming edge to his voice. There's still doubling but it's deliberately not used on a lot of parts.
1974 I was first introduced to Sabbath with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, I was blown away, then bought we sold our souls for rock and roll, basically a best of album and that was the point I realised that Sabbath were something special. There is change in Sabbath after SBS, not better or worse just different, it all sounds bloody amazing. As pointed out Tony Iommi is a riff king, they just never stop, the man is a musical genius.
Hi Andrew, Tony's nick name is the riff meister. Love the whole band how they just gel. This is in the pocket stuff, talent galore. Thankyou again for your Sabousiasm.
1975 was a killer year for album rock, just fantastic music coming at you from every direction it was unreal. Love this album...more Black Sabbath magic releasing our endorphins and serotonin levels...that's why great music is like a drug! ;)
SABOTAGE is my favorite Album! I remember it takes 2 year to we can buy it because a contract was in a Bankbox in Switzerland. I was a fan from the beginning 1970 and i was 12 year!😊 When Sabbath released a new Album so was Farsta Centrum outside Stockholm first in Sweden! These fridays i truant from my school!😂
@@AndrewRooneyDrums not even I have had the time yet. I plan to film it one day and add it to my TH-cam channel. Morgan Studios Willesden 169 High Road London
Keep them coming, more to do Electric Funeral Sweet Leaf After Forever Snowblind Cornucopia Wheels of Confusion (I'm sure you've reviewed this but don't see it on the playlist?) St Vitus Dance Tomorrow's Dream Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Looking for Today Spiral Architect
Just checking out Sabotage. Grew up listening thru SBS. Very cool to learn same prod, studio for SBS, Sabotage. So far to my ears, SBS was more analog sounding. Killer Mix! Tony really took on a diff voice after SBS
Speaking of Iommi, I think you’d get a kick out of some of his solo works! In particular I think the songs “I Go Insane”, “Black Oblivion” and “Who’s fooling who” would spark your interest!
Great request, Matt! Andrew, a great reaction as always! Yet another example of the creative genius of Tony Iommi. This creative ability is what makes him the greatest and most influential. Did you notice the handclaps? A reviewer has mentioned that only Black Sabbath could make handclaps sound menacing, haha! (This is actually the 4th Sabotage reaction you've done (as Keith mentioned)). The lyrics are super deep on this one also.
This was supposed to be for May 5th. Lol. All good. Glad you like the song Andrew. I am jealous that you get to listen to it again and have it grow on you more.
you MUST react some of the Ozzy solo career. 80s suited amazing for him and always really good surrounded. I’ll recommend you BREAKIN ALL THE RULES - OZZY OSBOURNE
great song is Thrill Of It All great classic rocker feel,i think it would be good to go back to paranoid for Rat Salad for bills drum solo and the studio version of Fairees Wear Boots,Snowblind off of vol 4,Gypsy off of technical ecstacy for bills intro,maybe the grand finale of the ozzy era should be Johnny Blade from never say die for bills last song of being a savage
@@jayedwards4787 sabotage is the pinnacle of what sabbath did best in one album. Heavy. melodic with excellent production and the best ozzy on any album. The Beatles of heavy metal. I love every sabbath record with the original lineup.

Sabotage is a great album filled with many trap doors, twists and turns. Love it !!
Love it
Yes well put, It’s an excellent album, although the album cover is a bit naff.
Ozzys vocals on this are so good again!
💯💯🙌
This album, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are his best vocals by far.
Finally someone plays this song
Sabatage is 1 of THE best metal albums of ALL time! Nobody does it better than the almighty sabbath!🤘🎸
No one does!! 🎸
Metals Holy Grail
How good is The Writ? Seriously.
Exactly!!!
Fully agree!!
Sabbath absolutely the GOAT, can never hear too much Sabbath!

Yup sounds great
Andarchy138.
Agree 100% with the feel of the mix. I'm not sure, but it certainly sounds like a new producer mixed Sabotage.
Sabotage and Sabbath bloody Sabbath have a unique sound compared to the others in my opinion idk maybe it's just me
Andarchy138
I checked to see if they switched producers.
They didn't . Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was the prior album.
Same studio....Same Producer....Sabbath produced both albums.
Those 2 albums just seem different from the others
I maintain that Sabotage is one of the best albums made. With Ozzy 's Diary of a Madman right there too.
Agreed
You like the dark side of Sabbath. These two are dark.
Was always my favorite Sabbath album too
Awesome Richard
My favorite Sabbath song always changes but for the most part I say
“Thrill of it All.”
Spiral Architect moves me the most

I was lucky enough to see them on the Sabotage tour. It was just incredible, I miss those days.
I keep saying this but your exploration of Sabbath has really opened my eyes and now I hear their influence in pretty much every band I listen to 😂

Completely agree, Sabbath Bloody is a must listen and has the nastiest, sludgiest outro ever.
I’ll get to it!
He’s done Sabra, Killing Yourself, and Acrobat
That probably is in fact the heaviest riff ever written. Absolutely crushing.
What a great way to start the day before I go to work cooking for half the town while experiencing the thrill of it all.
Restraint: the word for today. How Black Sabbath continuously executes it flawlessly while the songs tug at the reins.

Speaking of Iommi, I think you’d get a kick out of some of his solo works! In particular I think the songs “I Go Insane”, “Black Oblivion” and “Who’s fooling who” would spark your interest!
Kenny Aronoff 's drumming is insane arguably the greatest performance by him of all time.
Bill Wards solo album, Ward One: Along The Way (1990) will blow you sway
Thanks again Andrew, please check out the song Iron Man, it's overdue!!!
Yup that’s a classic!
Great song! You can't go wrong with MK-1 Sabbath.
Yes Richard 🙌
Great request, Matt! Andrew, a great reaction as always! Yet another example of the creative genius of Tony Iommi. This creative ability is what makes him the greatest and most influential. Did you notice the handclaps? A reviewer has mentioned that only Black Sabbath could make handclaps sound menacing, haha! (This is actually the 4th Sabotage reaction you've done (as Keith mentioned)). The lyrics are super deep on this one also.
Ah right 4th!? Oh dear. I can’t keep up Mike
This was supposed to be for May 5th. Lol. All good. Glad you like the song Andrew. I am jealous that you get to listen to it again and have it grow on you more.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums 😄🤔👍
@@jayedwards4787 , why don’t you man up and do it? This was a great request.
@@jayedwards4787 he’s not even Australian, you nitwit. Get bent and stop polluting his channel.
Still the best band in the world. Ever. Happy Paddy’s day weekend.
DNO
I always thought that is a doble bassdrum with two handed on the hat on top 😁
Sabbath always on point. Best album for Ozzie as far as vocal performance
If you haven’t done it yet listen to all moving parts(stand still). Geezer brings it on that one
How good is this album, especially with decent headphones!
Listen to Geezer’s base on the instrumental “Breakout Out” off Never Say Die. It shakes the universe. If you listen, you can’t miss what I mean.
Black sabbath, no bad songs wait till you get to born again.....gods help us
sabotage is the most different album from sabbath?
you MUST react some of the Ozzy solo career. 80s suited amazing for him and always really good surrounded. I’ll recommend you
BREAKIN ALL THE RULES - OZZY OSBOURNE
great song is Thrill Of It All great classic rocker feel,i think it would be good to go back to paranoid for Rat Salad for bills drum solo and the studio version of Fairees Wear Boots,Snowblind off of vol 4,Gypsy off of technical ecstacy for bills intro,maybe the grand finale of the ozzy era should be Johnny Blade from never say die for bills last song of being a savage
You should do Hole In The Sky from Sabotage.
This is a top 5 from sabbath. Tony’s tone is sick. Ozzy sounding the best he ever would
@@jayedwards4787 No. Vol4 is their best and the real beginning of what is considered heavy metal. Sabotage is second.
@@jayedwards4787 sabotage is the pinnacle of what sabbath did best in one album. Heavy. melodic with excellent production and the best ozzy on any album. The Beatles of heavy metal. I love every sabbath record with the original lineup.
Hi Andrew
Listen to Bill ward, drum track, after forever
