Ronnie James Dio once said something to the effect of 'most good guitarists, if they're lucky, will write 2 or 3 great riffs in their life, Tony Iommi writes 2 or 3 great riffs every day'
@Andy Salter I seen an interview with Tony and he said he's got two bed rooms full of D.A.T tapes in bags. He said he could sell music to any band who needed ideas for songs.
That's probably why a lot of guitar players list 'Iron Man' as one song or the song that made then want to play guitar and/or the first song they learned on guitar. Great post!!!
Totally agree. This is one of my all-time Sabbath favorites. The crazy thing is, the version on the Heaven & Hell "Radio City Music Hall" live album is even better, I think. I do not understand how they feel the chorus drags the song down at all, though. I think the chorus is fantastic!
Have to play Don't Start (Too Late ) leading into it and Megalomania after it finishes. Hell, just start with Hole in the Sky and the others mentioned to round out side one. One of the best sides ever laid to vinyl. They would not expect the transition leading to Symptom of the Universe.
I second this suggestion my dudes. SotU has been described by another commenter on another video as the possible first trash song; and I kind of agree. The very simple but powerful riff and the awesome drive will make your heads bob one more time. Loving your videos, keep up the god job! Chers from Paris, stay safe.
Did I miss "Electric Funeral", "Children of the Grave" and "The Wizard" ( love the bluesy feel of the last one) or are we just not going talk about it lol.
Sabbathon: -Children of the Grave -Sabbra Cadabra -Sweet Leaf -N.I.B. -Snowblind -Fluff -Hand of Doom -Changes -The Wizard -A National Acrobat -Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. I could go on and on, everything they did became a classic
YES. Even on the last record 13, regardless of how one feels about the record, Geezer's sound on that record is IMMENSE. As a bassist myself, that tone is DIE FOR.
@@paulhabat4217 My first inspirations were Geddy Lee and Steve Harris. I didn't really know anything about Black Sabbath until I saw Zero The Hero on MTV back in the 80's. I found that song intriguing and quickly went to the store to find all the Black Sabbath's LPs I could find. I could never match Geezer's killer tone but he quickly became one of my favourite bass player.
"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath " and "Mob Rules " need to find their way into your rotation. Keep up the Black Sabbath reactions. Everyoune can find something they appreciate in their music.
I’ve taken most of this “old music” for granted. Been listening to it my whole life. Watching you two discovering the foundations of my youth brings new appreciation for me. Thank you both 🙏🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
And you know Geezer wasn't supposed play on that album, he had left Sabbath before the writing process of this album and then came back when the recording of the album was completed. When Geezer came back, Tony torn out all bass part and let Geezer rewrite all the bass parts for Heaven and Hell album.
If you’re going to do Dio Sabbath, then you must do Sign of the Southern Cross. One of the best Sabbath songs EVER!! Before we turn into zombies, please.
George at 2:36 when it hits him. Then George and Ryan at 2:49 is what life is all about laughing out loud with pure enjoyment. I remember as a kid in 1980 this exact feeling listening to this very song. I love this channel so much.
Exactly! Reading about this in Creem and Hit Parader that Ronnie was joining Sabbath and Ozzy working on his first solo album with Randy. 1980, the year I graduated from HS...what a summer...
Keep the Sabbath marathon going! - Do some Tony Martin era songs: "Headless Cross", "Devil & Daughter", "When Death Calls", "Anno Mundi", "Cross of Thorns", "Cardinal Sin", etc. - So many awesome songs!
I tried to tell them ! they pick good ones but...they miss that ONE , you know? It's like ...really????? How do you miss that one that is just screaming by all rights for a first reaction!
Yes! It's a long title, but Wasp/ behind the wall of sleep/ bassically/nib.... it's really only two songs, United by a drum groove and bass solo that will put you in the pocket and keep you there all day!
I'm a big Sabbath fan but I haven't explored their entire discography or haven't listened to some of it in a long time. Loving taking this journey with you gents.
"Die Young" is another off this record... It has a proper video you can watch as well. Also PLEASE shout out to Geezer Butler and Bill Ward who are fantastic as always.
Geezer is my 2nd favorite member of Sabbath after Tony. His bass sound alone is just incredible. Couple it with how talented he is, you have an all-time great metal player.
Not sure how familiar y'all are with Dehumanizer, but one very underrated song off that album is the song "Too Late". Starts out pretty slow, but man does that get heavy, and then Tony's solo in that song is ridiculous. Vocally, I feel like it's up there with some of Dio's best work, and as always the songwriting is deep, dark, and thought provoking. Any Sabbath fan who is not familiar with Dehumanizer is seriously missing out.
@@josephbarr1659 Trust me. Black Sabbath is my all time favorite band. Been listening to them since I was about 12. I'm 33. I've heard Dehumanizer probably hundred times. Fantastic album. That album was played to death during parties years ago. My personal favs from Dehumanizer is Time Machine and After All.
Sabbath all the way......Hand Of Doom.....Symptom of the Universe.....Sign Of the Southern Cross.....Lonely Is the Word.... Meglomania…...and SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH. Keep it going dudes...
Some of Ozzy's best Sabbath vocals: Sabbra Cadabra Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Hole in the Sky Symptom of the Universe Never Say Die Changes (yes, they did a ballad with Tony on piano!)
Had a great story behind it as well. I heard Dio talk about it in an interview. Turns out he wrote most of the lyrics in about 20 minutes after Tony and Geezer played the riffs and bass line for him.
I guess there's no modern examples of masses of people being stranded on a boat at sea for weeks on end...? Or World War 2? Or just use some imagination. Not a dig at you, Scotty, I found his commentary to be so uninformed.
I agree and this is something that has been talked about A LOT over the years but many fans. Dio was awesome but honestly his lyrics never did anything for me like Geezer Butler's lyrics. I dig Rainbow, Sabbath and Dio's solo material and I find his lyrics to be a tad bit nonsensical but in a VERY grand way. No dig at Dio either. I love Ronnie James \m/
I had plans of suggesting this song every day untill you played it. So now i will start this day off with "The Wizard" with Ozzy singing. Thank You for your channel you guys rock
Exactly, Brian!!!! "Sign of the Southern Cross" is without a doubt the best Black Sabbath song with Dio as singer. "Sign of the Southern Cross" is a million times better than "Children of the Sea" which has parts that are meh.
Maaaaaaaan... When we were kids I couldn't get some of my black friends to give anything rock music a chance. Now that we are older they listen better and appreciated it more but, when we were kids they wudn't havin it!! In this video one of you said, "bring this back!" Y'all are and that's why I have much love for you two ❤️ You're actually doing better than bringing it back, you're introducing it to generations that would never hear such music otherwise.
Yes, keep going with Black Sabbath! With Dio: Die Young. With Ozzy: A National Acrobat, Symptom of the Universe or The Writ. With Tony Martin: When Death Calls.
People talk about Jon Bonham and Keith Moon but I think Bill Ward is by far the best rock and metal drummer from that era (taking Neil Peart out of the equation of course). He is just a monster on that. Watch the live from Paris clips. He is nuts on that one!
@@remnant24 not all those guys would sound right in Sabbath even if they're "technically" better singers. I love Rob in Priest but I don't think his voice fit that well when he filled in for Sabbath in the 90's.
I was so nervous about you guys reviewing this song because it's one of my favorite songs ever. Period. And I was very pleased that it made staylist! Geezer is the true secret sauce - he's the groove master!
I love love your guys' reactions to Black Sabbath. Seeing other people deeply appreciate music that means so much to you is an incredible thing!! I'd watch you guys react to their whole discography, you guys rule!
I agree!! They cover so many different types of music that we want to tell them hey guys? You gotta review this one!! And we know that they could listen to better songs to review, but they go by the comments that the majority of people send them
Having listened to Black Sabbath since I was a kid, whenever I listen to a song like this again and watch the reaction of Ryan and George it makes me realize that I should never take the greatness of Black Sabbath for granted, which can be easy to do because you just know it's great and it's easy to get used to such greatness.
Legend is that Tony Iommi and Ronnie James Dio wrote this song together during his job interview as Ozzy's replacement. Also, this song shows how good his voice was. Maybe you should also do a Ronnie James Dio trifecta. Dio by himself (Holy Diver), Dio with Black Sabbath (Mob Rules), and Dio with Rainbow (Man on the Silver Mountain).
I would have used 3 slightly different songs for the trifecta, personally. 1. Stargazer (Rainbow) 2. Falling Off the Edge of the World (Sabbath) 3. Shame on the Night (Dio)
This is my first comment in the channel, i've been watching you guys for quite a while. Im only commenting for one reason. SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE. Keep the Sabbath train rolling!
I want to start by saying I absolutely love watching your reactions. For Black Sabbath you have to listen to 1. Black Sabbath 2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 3. Snow Blind 4. Children of the Grave 5. Sweet Leaf 6. N.I.B 7. Sabbra Cadabra
This song gives me nostalgia from being a very young child and my dad and his friends would play this type of music, this song specifically, at their get togethers and parties... My dad had the coolest friends!
When this version of Sabbath got together in the 2000's as Heaven and Hell they put out a song called Bible Black. You gotta hear it. The Sign of the Southern Cross off of Mob Rules is another great track.
While you're on a Sabbath streak, and talkin' of Dio, you should do "Falling Off the Edge of the World". There's some sick riffs from Mr. Iommi on that one! ;)
Keep the Sabbath train rolling. Here's some of my favourites I think you guys haven't done yet: N.I.B. Lord of This World Snowblind Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Symptom of the Universe Neon Knights The Sign of the Southern Cross
Honestly, Neon Knights would not have been my first choice, but then again we all have slightly different tastes I suppose. I would lean much more toward Die Young.
I was like 14 when I heard this song for the first time. My dad brought home this record for me and I hadn't really heard of Black Sabbath until then. Suffice to say my mind was forever changed :D
You guys are doing great, i am Scott McClellan , the guitarist and co writer with Tony Martin Former Singer of Black Sabbath, the solo Album titled Thorns, you guys keep rockin \M/ I enjoy seeing folk rock out. Cheers mates. SM
Yes please! My first love in music. When I was a little kid I remember listening to Black Sabbath greatest hits with my dad for the first time in car when we were driving to our summer cottage in Lapland. After that I asked all the time from my dad if we could go sit in the car and listen to Black Sabbath CD he had in there. In the end I started going there secretly alone to sit by myself and listen to the music. I was very intrigued by their sound because I had never heard anything like that on the radio. It was addicting. I remember how addicted I was to two songs: The Wizard and Iron Man. The Wizard sound was so mesmerizing for me because of the harmonica. Iron Man had the most addicting riff. It was the coolest song ever for me. We actually went to see the movie Iron Man with my dad because of the song Iron Man. We were hoping to hear the song in the movies. I remember being disappointed because they only played a small part of the song during the credits after the movie ended. Some suggestions: - Ozzy era: Iron Man, The Wizard, Children of the Grave, N.I.B. - Dio era: Die Young, Lonely is the Word Keep going with Sabbath! Love it!
Best if they start with "E5150", which I always interpreted as an extended opening to Mob Rules. The transition into Mob Rules from E5150 is one of the hardest rifs in all of Sabbath and all of metal imho.
I'm going to keep hoping that this will eventually lead into a STONER / DOOM MARATHON! People have been requesting one for months on Patreon and it would be a great continuation from Black Sabbath who pioneered the genre. Sleep, Kyuss and Electric Wizard are the main influential stoner bands, and you already got some experience with Kyuss so that leaves 2 more.
I’ve been watching for almost 2 years and I love your channel! But I’m still waiting for some Pink Floyd!!! You guys really need to do a Pink Floyd marathon as well! Their albums are 1 big piece with every song flowing into the next one! The music is amazing! You guys really need to hear the Wish You Were Here album or The Dark Side Of The Moon! You won’t regret it!
I love watching you guys cause you help me to hear things that I never would've. I've listened to these songs you guys review for twenty plus years - like a lot of us in the comment section, I know the sound and the lyrics in my sleep. But since you guys are listening to it for the first time, you hear the little intricacies that my ears are almost unable to pick up on after hearing them 1000 times. Love it. Love your reviews and your energy! I HIGHLY recommend Sabbath's "Symptom of the Universe", "Under the Sun", and Montrose's "Space Station #5"

@Denni Wintyr it's unanimous!!! 👍👍👍
50 years of success... no band will ever beat that... more is not to say about sabbath...
You guys have absolutely no idea how happy I am that this song is getting your attention
Honestly
Agree haha

Great Layne avatar. My favorite singer
@SageofTool Are you happy that they said the chorus is boring..??
SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE BY BLACK SABBATH!!!!!
Please
YES!
Have to play Don't Start (Too Late ) leading into it and Megalomania after it finishes. Hell, just start with Hole in the Sky and the others mentioned to round out side one. One of the best sides ever laid to vinyl. They would not expect the transition leading to Symptom of the Universe.
Yes
HEFTY AGREE
Sign of the Southern cross. Possibly the most epic riff entrance ever. When I first heard that aged 12 it blew my mind. Now aged 42 it still does.
I know what you mean. 13 in 1980. This the soundtrack of my life. Traded my VH 1984 for Ratts first album Out of the Cellar.
Symptom of the universe
Bill Ward is an absolute monster on that track!
I second this suggestion my dudes. SotU has been described by another commenter on another video as the possible first trash song; and I kind of agree. The very simple but powerful riff and the awesome drive will make your heads bob one more time. Loving your videos, keep up the god job! Chers from Paris, stay safe.
Black Sabbath - Sign of the Southern Cross - one of the best Dio era songs. Heavy, dark, full of atmosphere and a stunning riff. Mandatory.
Definitely! I second this.. Mandatory indeed.
Yes. Sign of the Southern Cross. Has to be the next reaction video.
Geezer best ever bass plyer?
LOST IN VEGAS IS THE BEST REACTION CHANNEL ON TH-cam
No talk about Geezer Butler incredible timing and bass playing thoses little riffs that he does as fill are incredibly powerful.
Totally agree! Geezer is a melodic metronome. Most people glaze right over what a monumental fixture he is to that bands power!
Did I miss "Electric Funeral", "Children of the Grave" and "The Wizard" ( love the bluesy feel of the last one) or are we just not going talk about it lol.
The Wizard, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Snowblind, N.I.B., - where does it end ?
Electric Funeral is the nastiest Black Sabbath song
dont forget about Warning
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Electric Funeral!!
Dio vocal: The devil cried
Ozzy: Symptom of the Universe / N.I.B. / A National Acrobat
I Vote for A National Acrobat
National Acrobat is one of their BEST!
@@dakotahrobinson8209 i am more than sure that they will not like A national Acrobat!!
I love every thing from sabbath
A National Acrobat would blow Ryan and George's minds. That transitions at the end? I can see they going crazy over that
Children of the grave. The drums are on fire the whole song. Also has one of the heaviest riffs ever made.
Love the heavy ass bridge in Children of the Grave.
Not a big Sabbath fan, I'm into the bands they influenced, but children of the grave is by far their best song.
First track where they over dubbed the drums, great song.
“Sign of the Southern Cross” off of Mob Rules by Black Sabbath. Ronnie James Dio at his BEST.
Goosebumps every time, to this day. He also has that part in Country Girl which starts with "In dreams I think of you"... So good!
Southern cross would be the best choice from the Dio years.
I saw him do that in one of his solo shows in the early 2000s. Total surprise, along with Stargazer. I was blown away.
Sign of the Southern Cross.. Epic!!!!!
Mob Rules is my fave Black Sabbath album of all time.
Sabbathon: -Children of the Grave -Sabbra Cadabra -Sweet Leaf -N.I.B. -Snowblind -Fluff -Hand of Doom -Changes -The Wizard -A National Acrobat -Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. I could go on and on, everything they did became a classic
Neon Knights...
You are a man of exceptional taste, my friend.
All great choices
I love N.I.B.
Tomorrows dream
"Sign Of The Southern Cross" (Black Sabbath, on the Mob Rules album)
A must, GREAT SONG.
Unexpected? Try this song....ha ha ha.
If you linked children.... you will love southern cross
"Zero the Hero" from the album "Born Again", vocals by Ian Gillan
Listen to just how nasty Geezer's bass line is. Geezer is where the heavy lives.
Geezer and Bill were the best rhythm section you could ask for!! Laid it down!! Geezer is one of my Mentors on bass!! A no brainier!!
Agreed. Geezer was a huge inspiration to me as a young musician.
True that.
YES. Even on the last record 13, regardless of how one feels about the record, Geezer's sound on that record is IMMENSE. As a bassist myself, that tone is DIE FOR.
@@paulhabat4217 My first inspirations were Geddy Lee and Steve Harris. I didn't really know anything about Black Sabbath until I saw Zero The Hero on MTV back in the 80's.

I could never match Geezer's killer tone but he quickly became one of my favourite bass player.
"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath " and "Mob Rules " need to find their way into your rotation.
Keep up the Black Sabbath reactions.
Everyoune can find something they appreciate in their music.
I’ve taken most of this “old music” for granted. Been listening to it my whole life. Watching you two discovering the foundations of my youth brings new appreciation for me. Thank you both 🙏🏻✌🏻🖖🏻
Same here man, it's like I'm reliving the songs again.
Sign of the Southern Cross by Black Sabbath. It's spectacular.
The entire Heaven and Hell album has some of the best bass lines.
Master class
And you know Geezer wasn't supposed play on that album, he had left Sabbath before the writing process of this album and then came back when the recording of the album was completed. When Geezer came back, Tony torn out all bass part and let Geezer rewrite all the bass parts for Heaven and Hell album.
SWEET LEAF! It’s an awesome tune. It might even be my favorite Sabbath tune period.
every time these guys say "nasty ass riffs," an angel gets its wings
BAT WINGS !!!!
If you’re going to do Dio Sabbath, then you must do Sign of the Southern Cross. One of the best Sabbath songs EVER!! Before we turn into zombies, please.
Absolutely true, great song!
up
Yesss
This. My favorite sabbath riff
Sign Of The Southern Cross is awesome.
George at 2:36 when it hits him. Then George and Ryan at 2:49 is what life is all about laughing out loud with pure enjoyment. I remember as a kid in 1980 this exact feeling listening to this very song. I love this channel so much.

"Neon Knights" from this album is fantastic.
The definitive heavy metal track, when you look inside the dictionary for the definition of heavy metal, it should be a link to this song.
YES THANK YOU
Keep the Sabbath marathon going! - Do some Tony Martin era songs: "Headless Cross", "Devil & Daughter", "When Death Calls", "Anno Mundi", "Cross of Thorns", "Cardinal Sin", etc. - So many awesome songs!
The shining, Valhalla, hand that rocks the cradle.
Please do: Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - the meanest riffs of the entire Black Sabbath catalogue, IMHO!🤘
Snowblind, from the previous album is bad@$$, too.
yeeeeeeees
Yes this and children of the grave
This
Spot on. This and A National Acrobat are two of the meanest songs from the meanest Black Sabbath record.
Ronnie James Dio brought power to every band he was in. He voice cracked the sky. Loved this reaction!
"The Wizard" off the Sabb's debut album. Harmonica + monster riffs, licks & trick drum fills = metal gods🙂
spreading his madness
I tried to tell them ! they pick good ones but...they miss that ONE , you know? It's like ...really????? How do you miss that one that is just screaming by all rights for a first reaction!
I've been asking for the wizard for some time now.
Superb song... One if their best... Wizard
Another great song. Black Sabbath - Falling Off The Edge of The World next please!
Best song off the mob rules
Yessssss
Damn straight \m/!
Yeah. Definitely this!
Hell yeah
Someone ask these guys to stop. They're making me like being quarantined.
lol!
Hahaha! :D \m/ \m/
@Anant Raman Sabotage for SURE.. maybe their best... SBS! then... Vol 4, then Never Say Die!
Yes! It's a long title, but Wasp/ behind the wall of sleep/ bassically/nib.... it's really only two songs, United by a drum groove and bass solo that will put you in the pocket and keep you there all day!
Might as well go ahead and add that whole album to your playlist... it's solid throughout! Then, check out the Mob Rules!
Your reaction 2.50 minutes in... one of your best reactions ever!!!!
It's been a while since you both lost your shit like this !!!! Love it!!!
I'm a big Sabbath fan but I haven't explored their entire discography or haven't listened to some of it in a long time. Loving taking this journey with you gents.
Adam Moore definitely do that, their first six albums are absolute perfection
Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe
"Die Young" is another off this record... It has a proper video you can watch as well. Also PLEASE shout out to Geezer Butler and Bill Ward who are fantastic as always.
Geezer is my 2nd favorite member of Sabbath after Tony. His bass sound alone is just incredible. Couple it with how talented he is, you have an all-time great metal player.
"Falling Off The Edge Of The World" has my favorite Iommi riff.
Amén to that. Monster riff. Amazing song, and I KNOW these guys would enjoy it.
Probably my favourite Sabbath Dio song. The main riff is unbelievable.
@@josephbarr1659 Yup, that song and The Sign Of The Southern Cross. Best two songs from Dio's time in Sabbath

Hole in the Sky
Symptom of the Universe
Never Say Die

"Symptom of the Universe" What are you waiting for? Just Do It! LOL
Sepultura does a really great cover of that song. You should check it out if you haven't
I concur.
@@mosesgarner2404 DOOOO IT!!! HAHA
Legendary outro.
This was the first song Tony and Ronnie wrote together.
Had a great story behind it as well. I heard Dio talk about it in an interview. Turns out he wrote most of the lyrics in about 20 minutes after Tony and Geezer played the riffs and bass line for him.
More Black Sabbath!!! The Wizard!
Dave yes finally someone else saying The Wizard lol
"I tried to dig into the lyricism, but I don't know what the hell they're talking about" That's just Dio being Dio 😂😂
I guess there's no modern examples of masses of people being stranded on a boat at sea for weeks on end...? Or World War 2? Or just use some imagination. Not a dig at you, Scotty, I found his commentary to be so uninformed.

I dig Rainbow, Sabbath and Dio's solo material and I find his lyrics to be a tad bit nonsensical but in a VERY grand way. No dig at Dio either. I love Ronnie James \m/
To be fair he would get really stoned when he wrote lyrics and he wrote them in a way that people can interpret it however they wanted.
Let’s go Black Sabbath!!!! You guys should review their entire discography at this point
Saw Dio in concert in 1984. I could not believe the vocal power that man put out.
I'm digging these Black Sabbath reactions. I say keep going.
Absolutely
I had plans of suggesting this song every day untill you played it. So now i will start this day off with "The Wizard" with Ozzy singing. Thank You for your channel you guys rock
You said it, "Tony's riff game is crazy". It's like he never runs out of great hooks!
Ronny James Dio was a tiny guy with a huge voice..
Just do "Die Young" already! It's is one of my favorite Dio era Black Sabbath songs. You'll thank me after.
That and Falling off the edge of the world
Black Sabbath "Sign of the Southern Cross" also with Ronnie James Dio
.Falling off the edge of the world 2
Oh ya, GREAT pick!
Exactly, Brian!!!! "Sign of the Southern Cross" is without a doubt the best Black Sabbath song with Dio as singer. "Sign of the Southern Cross" is a million times better than "Children of the Sea" which has parts that are meh.
@Th3Prod1gy6 Exactly, Th3Prod1gy6...best song they did with Dio
I love that song
I love the way Ronnie sings "LOOK OUT!"
That initial reaction when dio lays into it! 🤘🌈 just pierces the soul
Ozzy era: The Writ, Hard Road, Sweet Leaf, Snowblind
Dio era: Lady Evil, Die Young, Neon Knights, The mob rules
Felipe Ferraz Country Girl
Sign Of Southern Cross, Lonely Is A Word.
So glad to see mention of the Writ
If you want something from mob rules make it voodoo.
@@woogie88888 Voodoo is awesome song too.
SWEET LEAF! What else is there to do these days....I'm stocked up!
Agree!
Cough Cough Cough
Me too lol
Uh, huh, uh, huh, uh, huh....DUH, DUH, DA DA, DUH!!
Bastard I need some but no delivery
the Heaven & Hell album is one of the greatest metal albums of all time. The final track, Lonely is the Word is heart-breakingly beautiful...
Maaaaaaaan... When we were kids I couldn't get some of my black friends to give anything rock music a chance. Now that we are older they listen better and appreciated it more but, when we were kids they wudn't havin it!! In this video one of you said, "bring this back!" Y'all are and that's why I have much love for you two ❤️ You're actually doing better than bringing it back, you're introducing it to generations that would never hear such music otherwise.
Yes, keep going with Black Sabbath!
With Dio: Die Young.
With Ozzy: A National Acrobat, Symptom of the Universe or The Writ.
With Tony Martin: When Death Calls.
Also Headless Cross and Evil Eye from Tony Martin's era would get the job done
Please please "A National Acrobat". And maybe some "Sweet Leaf" off Vol. 4 to get the genesis of Stoner Rock/Metal.
With tony Martin headless cross with Ian gillan zero the hero
Symptom of The Universe!!!
VALHALLA DUUUUUDE
Neon Knights with Dio is maybe the best pure metal song I have ever heard in my life. Perfect. Also Sign of The Southern Cross is brilliant as well.
Bill Ward is what gets these brothers’ heads bopping every time.
People talk about Jon Bonham and Keith Moon but I think Bill Ward is by far the best rock and metal drummer from that era (taking Neil Peart out of the equation of course). He is just a monster on that. Watch the live from Paris clips. He is nuts on that one!
React to ozzy!!
Is it Ward? Or Butler? Hard to say... but they love it!
Vinnie plays drums on this album not bill
Grand Central Revival bill played on this album, he left during the heaven and hell tour and Vinnie came in
when the vocals come in....it's like a plane taking off RIP DIO the BEST heavy metal singer EVER
Please do “die young” off of this album it’s a great song
I think Lonely is the world is more their pace though.
Yes please, "die young" is rarely reacted to and is such a great track.
Absolutely
Gather the wind.....though the wind won't help you fly at all.....your backs to the wall.
There is no 'too much' when it comes to Sabbath!
"Falling Off The Edge Of The World" - another Dio-era Sabbath track off of Mob Rules. One of Tony's best riffs.
I agree totally...
Hell yes...and Sign of the Southern Cross.
Dio was the only human that could step in to replace Ozzy and own it. Such a great song!
Nah, there are thousands that could. Freddie Mercury would have smoked Ozzy. Bruce Dickinson, Ian Gillan, Rob Halford, just to name a few others.
@@remnant24 not all those guys would sound right in Sabbath even if they're "technically" better singers. I love Rob in Priest but I don't think his voice fit that well when he filled in for Sabbath in the 90's.
@@drummerdan95 What "fits" is entirely subjective. To me Ozzy's Ronald McDonald vocals fit Black Sabbath about as much as Lady Gaga would.
True. But in fairness, Dio couldn't stept back. Ozzy owned his songs too.
Rob Halford though....
Their "Live Evil" album with Dio is one of the best live albums ever recorded. Still have the double vinyl.
Eric Fernandez
I found one at a record store a while back
They don’t turn up too often!
Oh yes. „I‘m gonna burn in hell with all of you!“. Epic.
AGREED
My uncle gave me his vinyl of this album
Black Sabbath - “The Sign of The Souther Cross” or “Falling off the edge of the World” for more DIO era greatness!!
Yes!
Dio knew that the earth is flat... 😁
More Sabbath will always be my answer.
Symptom of the Universe would be a lot of fun.
Judas Priest- The Sentinel, Between the Hammer and the Anvil, Electric Eye, Nightcrawler
Nightcrawler is the most brutal Judas Priest song I've ever heard
Beyond The Realms Of Death, Sinner, Rapid Fire, Grinder, Solar Angels... I could go on and on...
Bloodstone, Chains, Screaming for Vengeance
We need a most brutal Judas Priest songs maraton.
I was so nervous about you guys reviewing this song because it's one of my favorite songs ever. Period. And I was very pleased that it made staylist! Geezer is the true secret sauce - he's the groove master!
Why it is a great song when i first heard i knew it was a banger
Geezers bass on this song is legenary :)
Your reactions when the heavy riff comes in is like watching the 12 year old me hearing this for the first time.
Definitely keep the Sabbath coming.
Now do "Children of the Grave" with ozzy!
I second this!!
I was so pissed when I saw this instead of children of the grave
mattypisme why it’s a great song
I think they reacted to it before, but I am not sure.
@@mattypisme This song is far better.
I love love your guys' reactions to Black Sabbath. Seeing other people deeply appreciate music that means so much to you is an incredible thing!!
I'd watch you guys react to their whole discography, you guys rule!
You need to react to Dio’s “Don’t Talk to Strangers”.
Or... Shame on the Night. Possibly the best outro in all of metal.
The whole album!! Not one bad song on it!! Dio, Put together a great band!! Everything he touched turned to Gold!!! ICCONIC vocalist!! RIP RONNIE!!
I agree!! They cover so many different types of music that we want to tell them hey guys? You gotta review this one!! And we know that they could listen to better songs to review, but they go by the comments that the majority of people send them
Symptom of The Universe, Hand of Doom, Juniors Eyes, and their song Black Sabbath! Keep em coming!!! 🤘🏻🔥
Having listened to Black Sabbath since I was a kid, whenever I listen to a song like this again and watch the reaction of Ryan and George it makes me realize that I should never take the greatness of Black Sabbath for granted, which can be easy to do because you just know it's great and it's easy to get used to such greatness.
Legend is that Tony Iommi and Ronnie James Dio wrote this song together during his job interview as Ozzy's replacement. Also, this song shows how good his voice was.
Maybe you should also do a Ronnie James Dio trifecta. Dio by himself (Holy Diver), Dio with Black Sabbath (Mob Rules), and Dio with Rainbow (Man on the Silver Mountain).
I would have used 3 slightly different songs for the trifecta, personally.
1. Stargazer (Rainbow)
2. Falling Off the Edge of the World (Sabbath)
3. Shame on the Night (Dio)
This is my first comment in the channel, i've been watching you guys for quite a while. Im only commenting for one reason. SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE. Keep the Sabbath train rolling!
I want to start by saying I absolutely love watching your reactions. For Black Sabbath you have to listen to
1. Black Sabbath
2. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
3. Snow Blind
4. Children of the Grave
5. Sweet Leaf
6. N.I.B
7. Sabbra Cadabra
This is the list right here. For Dio I'd add The Mob Rules, Sign of the Southern Cross, Die Young, and Neon Knights.
More Sabbath : "A National Acrobat" from the album 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' !!
underrated album from the ozzy era and i think Born Again is also underrated also and deserves a listen from these two
This song gives me nostalgia from being a very young child and my dad and his friends would play this type of music, this song specifically, at their get togethers and parties... My dad had the coolest friends!
I’d argue that music doesn’t get much better than this. It’s a real highlight and needs to be critically listened to. High levels of emotion
Listen to "The Wizard" next, it is the second song off their debut album, which is after the song black sabbath
Mark Builder NOO
Die Young is a must off this album. Hell, the whole album is a must.
When this version of Sabbath got together in the 2000's as Heaven and Hell they put out a song called Bible Black. You gotta hear it. The Sign of the Southern Cross off of Mob Rules is another great track.
Bible Black is a killer song!
I would give the Sign of the Southern Cross props as well!!!
@@siemenvanderkamp897 Killer anime too
You guys should give "Last In Line" by Ronnie on his DIO album a listen.
Fred Quimby good pick
Absolutely. Vivian's guitar solo is so nasty in that song
Absolutely. Great song and great album.
I saw that tour back in the day in Sacramento. That show absolutely ruled.
Dio's first album is his best!! But I am impartial to first albums!! Kinda like the Van Halen first album!! Game changer!!
While you're on a Sabbath streak, and talkin' of Dio, you should do "Falling Off the Edge of the World". There's some sick riffs from Mr. Iommi on that one! ;)
Agreed. Last three songs on Mob Rules are fire... Slipping Away, Falling Off the Edge of the Word, and then Over and Over.
Keep the Sabbath train rolling. Here's some of my favourites I think you guys haven't done yet:
N.I.B.
Lord of This World
Snowblind
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Symptom of the Universe
Neon Knights
The Sign of the Southern Cross
Ozzy: Children of the Grave
Dio: Neon Knights
Right on! Neon Knights is my favorite Sabbath Song,hits me in the gut every time
elevenAD it’s one of my favourites. I rate the Anthrax cover version too.
Yep, those would be my two picks as well. Cheers mate.
Die young ❤
Honestly, Neon Knights would not have been my first choice, but then again we all have slightly different tastes I suppose.
I would lean much more toward Die Young.
I was like 14 when I heard this song for the first time. My dad brought home this record for me and I hadn't really heard of Black Sabbath until then. Suffice to say my mind was forever changed :D
Gotta Do Snowblind, Hand of Doom , symptoms of the universe , falling off the edge of the world
The Wizard, Sweet Leaf, Don"t Start Too Late/Symptom of the Universe, Sign of the Southern Cross
I think they are missing out on Sabotage big time, but I don't pay. When your unemployed in IT for 2 years every dollar counts.
Drinking game:
Listen to every dio song ever and take a shot every time he says "LOOK OUT"
He's warning you about the impending death if you play that drinking game, lmao.
His trademark!! Like his hand making the sign of the devil!! Patent Pending!!!
Right?!?!🤣
Gonna try it Right Now!!!😎😈🤢
You mean Rook out? lol
You guys are doing great, i am Scott McClellan , the guitarist and co writer with Tony Martin Former Singer of Black Sabbath, the solo Album titled Thorns, you guys keep rockin \M/ I enjoy seeing folk rock out. Cheers mates. SM
Neon Knights, Mob Rules, Sign of the Southern Cross.
Sign of the Southern Cross
Yes please! My first love in music. When I was a little kid I remember listening to Black Sabbath greatest hits with my dad for the first time in car when we were driving to our summer cottage in Lapland. After that I asked all the time from my dad if we could go sit in the car and listen to Black Sabbath CD he had in there. In the end I started going there secretly alone to sit by myself and listen to the music. I was very intrigued by their sound because I had never heard anything like that on the radio. It was addicting. I remember how addicted I was to two songs: The Wizard and Iron Man. The Wizard sound was so mesmerizing for me because of the harmonica. Iron Man had the most addicting riff. It was the coolest song ever for me. We actually went to see the movie Iron Man with my dad because of the song Iron Man. We were hoping to hear the song in the movies. I remember being disappointed because they only played a small part of the song during the credits after the movie ended.
Some suggestions:
- Ozzy era: Iron Man, The Wizard, Children of the Grave, N.I.B.
- Dio era: Die Young, Lonely is the Word
Keep going with Sabbath! Love it!
“Mob Rules” You are gonna pause it after the opening riff.
You are so right! I was thinking the exact same thing!
Best if they start with "E5150", which I always interpreted as an extended opening to Mob Rules. The transition into Mob Rules from E5150 is one of the hardest rifs in all of Sabbath and all of metal imho.
I have watch the two of you off and on for awhile. You guys are the best of the reaction videos, and I love to watch you head bang.
I'm going to keep hoping that this will eventually lead into a STONER / DOOM MARATHON! People have been requesting one for months on Patreon and it would be a great continuation from Black Sabbath who pioneered the genre. Sleep, Kyuss and Electric Wizard are the main influential stoner bands, and you already got some experience with Kyuss so that leaves 2 more.
Truckfighters
@@ericvoyer7560 I agree
They must listen to Sleep
You have to react to Children of the Grave
I’ve been watching for almost 2 years and I love your channel! But I’m still waiting for some Pink Floyd!!! You guys really need to do a Pink Floyd marathon as well! Their albums are 1 big piece with every song flowing into the next one! The music is amazing! You guys really need to hear the Wish You Were Here album or The Dark Side Of The Moon! You won’t regret it!
I'm thinking they watch The Wall with us.
I love watching you guys cause you help me to hear things that I never would've. I've listened to these songs you guys review for twenty plus years - like a lot of us in the comment section, I know the sound and the lyrics in my sleep. But since you guys are listening to it for the first time, you hear the little intricacies that my ears are almost unable to pick up on after hearing them 1000 times. Love it. Love your reviews and your energy! I HIGHLY recommend Sabbath's "Symptom of the Universe", "Under the Sun", and Montrose's "Space Station #5"
