Bass player on this song is my FN hero. Geezer is a beast!!! Even today. He got arrested in a cat house in Nevada for fist fighting when he was 70 years old. That the kind of legend I'm talking about.
“Ozzy wrote the song “Fairies Wear Boots’ about these skinheads, calling them fairies ‘cos they had the big Doc Marten boots on they were kicking hell out of us with - that’s where it came from.” Terry 'Geezer' Butler
you are doing it right headphones sittin back and listening to it don't forget, like geezer butler the bass player said , "turn it all the way up, cause thats how we recorded it"
Man, this album is older than me, 1970 I think and I didn't come along until '74, but I listen to it quite a bit. Timeless. I have a copy on CD and one on vinyl
TherealJP wizzArd is so much like an origin song it deeply seated in their blues background for sure .. wish they played that on radio instead of paranoid
@MsMiltonFriedman I love the studio version of The Wizard. Bill Ward (the drummer) just up and hits his cowbell in the middle of the song. Always funny when I hear it as it kind just comes in out of nowhere.
Best reaction video. Never stop the music. The occasional, "yea. Dope. That's fire." Then the end summary. Good shit. That forest background is on point for Sabbath too. Awesome! Keep up the great work!
Tony is incredible on this: jazz changes, heavy metal, the pentatonics at the end with Geezer doing the octive stretches behind. By the way Bill Ward is doing that with five (count 'em) five drums.
this is the only guy with the sense not to stop the video every 30 seconds and destroy the tension and release that makes music what it is. Always look forward to his thoughtful ears.
I have been listing to Black Sabbath since I was a young girl with my brother he was in the army and when he came home he was listing to Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin but I just realized that at the end of this sounds like an Irish tune fairies wear boots
Bill's swing is insane, playing right behind Iommi's riffs. And Geezer's bass lines are their own universe of funk. The first five LPs are stellar, front to back. Enjoy.
There are a ton of people claiming to review music these days... most of them play the tune, nod their heads, and say "like and subscribe!". I dig you because you actually talk about the music and the content. Keep being real, man.
I have enjoyed very much going through your library of videos since subscribing three days ago because of your reaction to Black Sabbath war pigs! I have not been disappointed! I am very grateful I stumbled across your account.
Nice job ! Enjoyed this ! You witnessed Heavy Metal history ! Sabbath was way ahead of everyone back then ! All 4 are wicked ! Geezer Butler and Bill Ward make up the perfect rithym section
First time I heard this song I was 13 and about 3 hours into a psychedelic acid trip. Needless to say aftet that I was a HUGE Black Sabbath fan.... By far my most favorite song from BS. And to think they were making this bad ass music in the 70's... Man were they absolutely beyond talented !!!!!!!!
When I was a kid in the 70's the preachers of the day went hard against Black Sabbath said us fans were going to hell listening to the devil's music and Ozzie was the devil himself
@@TheSimonScowl US made a big thing about it yeah, But no none give a shit over ere, That was funny when people spun their records backwards, messages from the devil lol !
Great reaction... Great host.. Great background... Keep the party going... Lots of song requests already.. I'll add "Symptom of the Universe" to your list.. keep up the great job.. we're loving it..
I love your channel and reactions, man. While Ozzy's iconic voice & Iommi's blazing riffs are rightfully recognized, Sabbath's rhythm section of Bill Ward & Geezer Butler is truly amazing. Watching someone outside in nature just absorbing the sound and meaning of music warms my heart. Peace and health to you always 🙏🤘
your comment about collecting great albums earned you my utmost respect, more than just reacting did. I also finally subscribed, which I don't do it as quickly as I used to. Keep up the great work my friend!
Your videos have been a real blessing for me lately, as I've begun to explore occult wisdom traditions and revisit the music (metal, psychadelic) that helped send me on this journey. Keep up the great work and take care!
Cool...Black Sabbath Ozzy the only guy I know that can sit down in the middle of a concert and say, "I'm so f'n drunk man.." and still get roaring cheers from the crowd...😈
Awesome! Keep traveling down the paranoid road, you won’t be disappointed! Love sabbath, some of the first Music I learned when I got my guitar as a young man. Great reaction!
Almost 50 year old song I looked at the comments and the recommendations and their all good cause almost any song done by Black sabbath is amazing a true rabbit hole you should go down
I have been listening to this stuff almost all my life. One of the first albums I can remember is the first Black Sabbath album. The start of track one is epic!
Loved how you sat back and got settled in for the ride. I think they were referring to skinheads back in the day. There were a lot of physical battles between skinheads and rockers in the 70's ish era.
Very recently on A&E, they aired a documentary about Ozzy Osbourne called, the nine lives of Ozzy Osbourne. It's not all glitz. He grew up in poverty and didn't easily fit in. During his career he experienced many tragedies. Some where things out of his control, unfortunately many was his own doing from serious drug and alcohol addiction. He survived it all. I believe he's 70 now. I love this band, like you Abracadabra, they and Led Zeppelin are my top two. I love Ozzy and it would be cool to meet him and enjoy his personality. I think you would enjoy watching it too.
Below I see a lot of reference to Hand of Doom. It is probably one of their best ever. But I like me some Planet Caravan. It's VERY different. You need to sink waaaay down low in that chair and turn that one UP!
Aaawwww shit one of my favorites songs EVER!!! I think it's about law enforcement and/or military...that's my take and I remember my Daddy talking about it
There's a really dope band from Sweden called Truckfighters which are very much influenced by Black Sabbath that I highly recommend. Desert Cruiser is like, their theme song.
“Sweet Leaf”.....enjoy the morning
Yes, he'd love that classic!
@Queen_Of_Cups Only way to listen to Sabbath, Floyd, or Doors
Sweet leaf
I've heard this song a million times but never knew the title. Thank you
Bass player on this song is my FN hero. Geezer is a beast!!! Even today. He got arrested in a cat house in Nevada for fist fighting when he was 70 years old. That the kind of legend I'm talking about.
this LP blew my friend's & myself's minds when it came out...we were in the 9th grade and " smokin & trippin was all that we did! ". Haha!
😂, I hear you
Robert Roehrman yup...same
@@sst3d me n aw xx 🏴🐙
Hey did I hang out with you?
I appreciate Sabbath more than ever, life changing when it first came out, but their out of the box raw talent still gives me chills today
The Bass line thru the song
TheAcworthdude Geezer is a absolute beast!!!!
These reactores never give bass guitar any credit! Don't they hear, or understand?
@@jarmopaakkonen2045 I think Black Sabbath is one of the few Bands Where You can hear each Person play if you try. Not sure how to say it.
I'm 57 and still have my sabbath albums from the 70s i bought as a teen..
“Ozzy wrote the song “Fairies Wear Boots’ about these skinheads, calling them fairies ‘cos they had the big Doc Marten boots on they were kicking hell out of us with - that’s where it came from.”
Terry 'Geezer' Butler
Fairies Wear Boots- what a groove, what a riff. Blues metal man. And lyrics about fairies and smokin and trippin. Too much! Love the reaction.
Thank you
Blues mixed with Jazz. I always felt early Sabbath was more jazzy while Zeppelin was more blues influenced.
@@garycattelino8595 Yes I see your point. Sabbath is very jazz influenced
Doctor: "Son son you've gone too far. Cause smoking and tripping is all that you do!" Ozzy: "Yeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!"
I love that , it cracked me up , but I related lol
@@abracadabra3033 That is the thing . Relate to the people you meet.
That’s my favorite part lol
Oh God this is good. Takes me back jack. Wow. All that’s Missing is some good trip. Wow. That’s was good. Your reactions to his lyrics just gets me.
They were the two super rockers the Sabbath and Zeppelin. I became a teenager in 73 and these truly were kings of the day.
Yep x.
'Rat Salad' is another Black Sabbath classic cut.
Ok , got it
Agreed. Good drum showcase.
this band can take you on a trip with almost any tune!!!!
@Leon Anderson i hear ya saw the Mob Rules tour in 1981 and it rocked!!!
@Leon Anderson It's NO LONGER SABBATH with Dio!!
Next sabbath song needs to be N.I.B
I second that motion.
I gotcha
Fuck yes
you are doing it right headphones sittin back and listening to it don't forget, like geezer butler the bass player said , "turn it all the way up, cause thats how we recorded it"
"Cuz smoking and tripping is all that you do!" LOL! I was rocking out to this song in 1972 with I was 20 years old. LOL~!
I like how you lay back and absorb the music, instead of stopping it every 10 seconds. This stuff's fire!
Thank You
Man, this album is older than me, 1970 I think and I didn't come along until '74, but I listen to it quite a bit. Timeless. I have a copy on CD and one on vinyl
Listen to The Wizard
Got it
Listen to The Wizard from the Live at Last bootleg album. It’s on TH-cam.
TherealJP wizzArd is so much like an origin song it deeply seated in their blues background for sure .. wish they played that on radio instead of paranoid
Leon Anderson fair enough. Check out that version though when you can. Tony was in the zone.
@MsMiltonFriedman I love the studio version of The Wizard. Bill Ward (the drummer) just up and hits his cowbell in the middle of the song. Always funny when I hear it as it kind just comes in out of nowhere.
Best reaction video. Never stop the music. The occasional, "yea. Dope. That's fire." Then the end summary. Good shit. That forest background is on point for Sabbath too. Awesome! Keep up the great work!
There's an early live version of this song , Bill Ward beats those drums like they owe him money.✌️
✌🏾
@@abracadabra3033 live at paris 1970 - war pigs..Bill ward goes fucking mental
th-cam.com/video/_vKH0E2NNxs/w-d-xo.html
That's cause they did
It’s time for some Sweet Leaf
Tony is incredible on this: jazz changes, heavy metal, the pentatonics at the end with Geezer doing the octive stretches behind. By the way Bill Ward is doing that with five (count 'em) five drums.
Izzy was tripping his balls off and swore he saw a fairy dancing around in boots lol
this is the only guy with the sense not to stop the video every 30 seconds and destroy the tension and release that makes music what it is. Always look forward to his thoughtful ears.
Hand of doom from the mighty Sabbath!
Trump *
Give the bassist some love he is the chief lyricist as well. relisten to the work Geezer does, Next play gotta be Bassically /NIB.
this song was actually one of the few ozzy wrote, along with am i going insane, who are you, and black sabbath (co written)
Geezer Butler needs some love for that bass!
ABSOLUTELY!! Couldn't Agree With You More!!
Geezer is a rhythm savage hard hitting.
Damn Abracadabra, I got a break out my Black Sabbath now. Haven't broke that out in a long long time that was a badass song.
I have been listing to Black Sabbath since I was a young girl with my brother he was in the army and when he came home he was listing to Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin but I just realized that at the end of this sounds like an Irish tune fairies wear boots
Bill Ward on drums, Geezer Butler on bass are the driving force..
Bill's swing is insane, playing right behind Iommi's riffs. And Geezer's bass lines are their own universe of funk. The first five LPs are stellar, front to back. Enjoy.
Song is about his issues with skinheads and the Doc Martens they wore
Listen to Deep Purple - Child in time (one of the greatest early metal/hard rock songs ever made)
Mandrake Root as well.
BURN
Nice reaction! Fairies ware boots is a reference to seeing skinheads on Ozzy's way home from a pub one night!
Black Sabbath-A National Acrobat
Black Sabbath "N.I.B."
Listen to Hand of doom of the same album brilliant.
wish i could give 1mil thumbs up
I second this
Got it , totally invested
Hand of Doom is So F-Ing Rad!
yes sir i grew up to this music i was 13 yrs.old and we used to play this in the garage and get high...yes i was 13 ...lol love your reactions
... the bass line drives this epic
Dude you're cool as F###. Sabbath is untouchable.

Classics in the true sense of the word.
Black Sabbath...Bill Ward - drums , Geezer Butler - Bass , Tony Iommi - Guitar , Ozzy Osborne - Vocals ... Legends all.
Nice job ! Enjoyed this ! You witnessed Heavy Metal history ! Sabbath was way ahead of everyone back then ! All 4 are wicked ! Geezer Butler and Bill Ward make up the perfect rithym section
Iron man, sweet leaf, maglomania! You will love it. This is my fav reaction channel, love your chill, vibe and insight. 👊🏼
It's amazing when Bill Ward drops the cymbals from a part how different it sounds, then he adds them right back in.
First time I heard this song I was 13 and about 3 hours into a psychedelic acid trip. Needless to say aftet that I was a HUGE Black Sabbath fan.... By far my most favorite song from BS. And to think they were making this bad ass music in the 70's... Man were they absolutely beyond talented !!!!!!!!
One of my favorites, thanks. "I saw it, I saw it with my own two eyes!" . Like you reaction.
The first six albums are just magical.
Black Sabbath, were and are the Pioneers of Metal..
When I was a kid in the 70's the preachers of the day went hard against Black Sabbath said us fans were going to hell listening to the devil's music and Ozzie was the devil himself
I believe it , lol
I'll never forget when my Dad gave me the bad news: 'Ozzy Osbourne worships the devil, y'know?' . He was serious. 🙄

Classic Black Sabbath. Love it 🎶🎶🎵🇨🇦
A couple of nice bong rips really makes this song every better.

😂
So good to see how well you listen. Thank You!
Hand of doom! Gotta hear it!
I love watching someone get into music or particular songs I’ve been listening to my whole 60 year life
Children of the Grave, Sweet Leaf, N.I.B.
And Snow Blind... they’ll blow you away 🤯
Awesome! Keep traveling down the paranoid road, you won’t be disappointed! Love sabbath, some of the first Music I learned when I got my guitar as a young man. Great reaction!
Watching again 8 months later. Thank you again.
✌🏾🙏
Almost 50 year old song I looked at the comments and the recommendations and their all good cause almost any song done by Black sabbath is amazing a true rabbit hole you should go down
Crazy funky
As always a fantabulous reaction!
Yea man Bill Ward is a beast on them drums
Great reaction man! I saw them do this song live in Chicago in 1974 and it still brings fire today!
06/07/2021 Came back to give this another listen. Still Amazing!
I'm really enjoying seeing your reactions. You have the most beautiful Aura about you. Awesome Glow from your Soul❤😎😘
Please do more Sabbath!!!!!!
I have been listening to this stuff almost all my life. One of the first albums I can remember is the first Black Sabbath album. The start of track one is epic!
This might seem an odd comment, but I feel I must compliment your lawn and background; new style for a reactor.
It's nice.
Thank you , it sets a scene , to sit back and relax
HA! I like it too...heard a few birds even lol
Loved how you sat back and got settled in for the ride. I think they were referring to skinheads back in the day. There were a lot of physical battles between skinheads and rockers in the 70's ish era.
...true comments about collecting vinyl...very true ✌️
I heard this album in my friends bedroom in 1980. I was 14 and it changed my life forever!
Another vote for Hand of Doom
Friend got me into Sabbath this year... this song is bananas multiple level changes great vocals etc.
Black Sabbath- Symptom of the universe. It will kick your ass
Sabbath is the Godfathers of Metal!
Living Colour - Cult of Personality. A black rock group with a prophetic message..worth a listen..
Theres so much of there music Enjoy.
Love to see this. One love 👊

Your brain's gone. The end. lmao. Love the sections of this piece, the bass and drums are wearing boots allright.
Gentlemen, please show courtesy toward the reaction before you request.
Gotta give props to Geezer Butler ....plays the hell outta that base!!!
Bill Ward is showing those drums no mercy, and Geezer
Butler really gives the bass a workout on this song. Tony Iommi's guitar riffs never disappoint.
If you want the thickest grooves ever go with Sweet Leaf or Into The Void (both from 1971). :)
Below I see a lot of reference to Hand of Doom. It is probably one of their best ever. But I like me some Planet Caravan. It's VERY different. You need to sink waaaay down low in that chair and turn that one UP!
