The first time I heard of Black Sabbath was on an airplane flying to Hawaii in the summer of 1971. I was 18 listening to the pre-recorded songs they had for your listening enjoyment. The emcee introduced "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath. The song instantly caught my attention, and I was able to listen to it a second time before landing in Honolulu. I couldn't get it out of my head. After getting back to the states I went out and bought the Paranoid album. Loved it and became a Black Sabbath fan. Not long after that I bought Master of Reality and then Vol 4. Many good songs on these albums. "Sweet Leaf" on Master of Reality is among my favorites. I think the early Sabbaths with Ozzy were the best. I did like Ozzy's solo song, "Crazy Train" after he left Sabbath. Welcome to the Sabbath rabbit hole.
i think this is just one of the greatest rock songs ever the message behind it is so insane and resonates with us today so especially being a teenager with everything going on right now this song really hits hard i think that’s part of the reason all music from this era has been resurrected heavily
Sabbath formed in 1968, first album came out in 1970. So basically the same age as Led Zeppelin. But with a very different sound. Sabbath basically invented what we now know as heavy metal. Check out the version of this on the Live In Paris 70 video. It's all over TH-cam. Or even better Fairies Wear Boots from the same show.
Tony iommi (eye-OWE-me), the lead guitarist, wrote the music for Black Sabbath, and is by consensus the inventor of metal music in the first Black Sabbath album which was released in February, 1970. Van Halen came much later, and in fact opened for Sabbath when they were starting out, which I was lucky enough to witness as a teenager in the middle of the 5th row. The lyrics are by the great bass player, Geezer (Terry) Butler. The drummer is Bill Ward and as you know, the singer is Ozzy Osbourne, who remained the singer until the late 1970's when Iommi fired him and hired Ronnie James Dio. Iommi invented or started whole genres and subgenres of music, and laid the foundation of pretty much all heavy music to follow. (By the way, he has been good friends with Brian May of Queen for decades.)
The master of riffs and greatest song writer-guitarist had birthday yesterday!!Tony the legend Iommi!!Nope they are not making concerts anymore they are in their middle 70s all of them!Their last LP released 9 years ago
One of the greatest from Sabbath. Please react to the live in Paris version, 1970. It's just amazing. The audio is fantastic but the live performance has so much energy and passion. Thanks
Before Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in 1968 there was Iron Butterfly and their version of Metal and acid Rock “ Ina- Gadda- Davida” if you’ve Never Heard it you have to give it a listen 😁👍🏻🎸🎼
Ozzy Osbourne and Robert Plant are the same age, 73. This is from 1970, so around the same era as Zep. My husband and I saw both Sabbath and Ozzy (solo) about 15 years ago. Best concerts ever. Unsure if they're still touring as Ozzy is suffering from Parkinson's disease
No, they don't tour. They are as old as Led Zeppelin. As a matter of fact Sabbath is from the same city as Plant and Bonham from Zeppelin, and knew each other before any of them were famous. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Supernaut are two songs I think you'd like.
@@SalvoG , this is a great recommendation! I suggest you use a lyric video, since Geezer Butler's great lyrics are important in Sabbath songs, including this one.
You should really watch the official video, it really helps visually to explain the lyrics. And I'd also like to suggest another band, if interested. "Cranberries - Zombie (Official Music Video)" RIP: Dolores O'Riordan U R Missed 💔🤘
There is no official video to this song. If you mean this, th-cam.com/video/LQUXuQ6Zd9w/w-d-xo.html, it's some fan made crap out of other peoples work. The footage is taken from a short film or a game-intro I don't know for sure, but what I do know, it has nothing to do with Black Sabbath or the song.
I always loved their music and we played it loud to Charlie. However, I didn't agree with their thoughts on the war in Vietnam. We took over from the French as a peace keeping force and the N. VIETNAMESE army ramped up incursions in to S. Vietnam. Our hands were tied as we couldn't attack in N. Vietnam or into Cambodia.
Black Sabbath is my favorite band of all time. Hands down!!! The lyrics, the music it touches my soul in a way no other band comes close
Snap 😎

Saw them back in the day...Great concert
Are they top 5 for you? or no
You're cheating on zeppelin....shame on you.
You should have reacted to the 1970 LIVE Paris version of War Pigs, it's awesome.
100% , that live version is one of the greatest live performance ever for a band!
By far, one of the greatest tunes ever! Glad you reacted to it! But wait, there's more.............

I love seeng the music of my youth thru someone' else's eyes!

This song is from their album Paranoid released in 1970.
Okay Paranoid wasn't their debut though right?

Recorded in 1970. Pretty good song.
indeed it is

That makes sense...little up there to be doing music still. Respect to them though.
@@SalvoG yeah if i can suggest a song to react from their last LP is "age of reason"!
gloriously heavy!
One of the greatest from Sabbath. Please react to the live in Paris version, 1970. It's just amazing. The audio is fantastic but the live performance has so much energy and passion. Thanks
Sabbath bloody Sabbath, NIB, and Changes, thanks
Sabbath started in Early 70’s
Into the Void 🔥🔥🔥
Before Zeppelin and Black Sabbath in 1968 there was Iron Butterfly and their version of Metal and acid Rock “ Ina- Gadda- Davida” if you’ve Never Heard it you have to give it a listen 😁👍🏻🎸🎼
Youre listening to 50 year old metal! The best!!!

It’s important to watch the live version from Paris. Only then does the intensity of the band hit you in the face.
A good follow-up would be another antiwar song. How about Child in Time by Deep Purple
I have heard of Deep Purple, lets do that soon! ty
Stole this 8 track from my brother when I was 10. 50yrs later I still listen to Sabbath nearly everyday. Check out The 1st album & Sabotage. My top 2.
Into the void has a disgustingly good riff and the lead guitarist had tuned down specifically for that album so it’s so heavy. Give it a listen
"into the void"? Ok got it, doing soon
@@SalvoG Seconded - best riff ever IMHO!
@@SalvoG , this is a great recommendation! I suggest you use a lyric video, since Geezer Butler's great lyrics are important in Sabbath songs, including this one.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath should impress you, I reckon. It's definitely one of their very best.
Van Halen wouldn't exists without Sabbath
I wou,d lo e to see you react to Bob Sege, "Turn The Page" or "Night Moves". Oth are grezt!
You should really watch the official video, it really helps visually to explain the lyrics. And I'd also like to suggest another band, if interested. "Cranberries - Zombie (Official Music Video)" RIP: Dolores O'Riordan U R Missed 💔🤘
I added the Cranberries to my list. Along with Pink Floyd and Journey. Thanks for your commment!

@@ingobordewick6480 yeah I can't stand that fan made video. Worse thing is all the reactors do it
lol I'm pissed you never heard this its a bangerrrrr
Dude, straight fire
Snowblind is pretty cool, but to be honest the list is pretty long so plenty to choose !
cant wait to get into the next one

Randall, what an experience to live through. Thank you for having the right heart.
Sabbath gave Ozzy the boot in 1979 after 10 years because of his drug and alcohol abuse.
Oh wow they kicked him!?
@@SalvoG Yes they did then Ozzy had a very successful solo career in the 80s. His wife Sharon was his manager
