@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119how about deep purple 😂😂 that’s why there’s the trinity Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and deep purple but yeah probably your right 😂
That quote about riffs was from Rob Zombie :) He said "Every riff that's ever been written, Black Sabbath already wrote it. Everyone else is just playing it slightly faster, or slightly slower, or backwards, or changing it a little bit".
I’ve been saying for years that Black Sabbath wrote all the cool riffs before the 70s were over. Every metal song you hear now is just a reworking of what Sabbath did.
@@flightgravity7483 Where's the fun in thinking that though? What's the point of then listening to the millions of metal music if it feels to you like it's just a rework of someone else?
Sweet N Savery You must not be a musician and tried to write a riff that couldn’t in some way or another been done on a Sabbath album. My point, and I’m sure lost in Vegas point, is that they did this when no one else did and well before anyone else. Which can be frustrating because you can’t escape the feeling “this has been done before”.
Hopefully the next generation will heed Ozzy's words. Still so relevant today. "Revolution in their minds the children start to march Against the world in which they have to live And all the hate that's in their hearts They're tired of being pushed around And told just what to do They'll fight the world until they've won And love comes flowing through, yeah Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way? Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear? Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear, yeah So you children of the world Listen to what I say If you want a better place to live in Spread the words today Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave Or you children of today are children of the grave, yeah"
This song is so damn intense...then it calms to bliss at the end. One of Black Sabbaths best songs. Ozzie's voice is so powerful in this song!! Lyrics are fantastic. What can I say...Love it. Grew up loving this group. Defined the seventies.
Agreed. I think Ozzy's voice is underrated. He could really sing when he wanted to, especially in his early years. He was capable of a real powerful bluesy, gritty sound
@@supertrexandroidx Hell yes. I'd say that maybe my favourite rock singer over all vould be Ronnie James Dio (RIP) because of his amazing range and amazing voice. But Ozzy is so damn underrated during the 70s era. I think his performance at the Live In Paris 1970 shows how great and uderrated he really was, and perfectly suited The Sabs during the 70s.

Something about the jazzy breakdown at the end: I'd say that was Tony Iommi's tribute to one of his guitar heroes, Django Reinhardt. Django was a Belgian jazz guitarist from the 1930s. He is known as the originator of "gypsy jazz." It was hearing Django that influenced Tony to pick up the guitar again after the accident that severed Tony's fingers. Django also only had two fingers to play with (due to a burn injury).
Years ago, I was listening to a jazz station late at night, and heard a guitarist that reminded me of Tony. After the song finished, the DJ said it was Django. He definitely had a HUGE influence on him.
@@richardjohndrow4623 django was an influence on every guitar player of that generation, especially the ones from europe. a lot of djangos stuff is very groovy and riff oriented (minor swing for example). i love them both :)
Ok but that closing jam nothing to do with Jazz. I don't know why people keep throwing that word at anything that sounds mildly exotic to their ears. It's acoustic Rock with perhaps a hint of Flamenco.
I am from Brazil and not very old (33 years old). I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to watch Black Sabbath live two times, even if they weren't in their best shape (Bill Ward not present).

I haven’t seen a reaction to ‘Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath’ and, I believe George just said you haven’t done it. That is the epitome of a Sabbath song - the main riff, the drums, the bass and Ozzy! One of the best metal songs ever and such heaviness at the end! Don’t stop short of at least that one!
When you revisit Sabbath you have to check out Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, A National Acrobat and A Spiral Architect, it's everything you love about Sabbath executed at the highest level.
"Sabbath bloody sabbath" is a brilliant album. has some of my favourite songs of all music, "sabbath bloody sabbath" and "fluff" give a good glimpse of the rest of the album. You might be totally surprised of the versatility on that album if you listen to it. "paranoid", "sabbath bloody sabbath", "black sabbath", "sabotage" would be my fauvourite black sabbath albums. in that order, with the same 4 members.
According to Iommi, the Sabotage sessions were the scene of a legendary jam session between Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.[4] Iommi's recollection may be inaccurate, however, as records show that Zeppelin were on tour in the US at the time Sabotage was being recorded. Ward's recollection of the exact timing of the Zeppelin jam session is also fuzzy. "I don't even know what album we were working on", the drummer explained. "But one of John (Bonham)'s favourite songs was 'Supernaut' - so, when they came down to the studio, he wanted to jam 'Supernaut'."[5]
That was a great Sabbathon. Too bad you didn't react to "Wheels of Confusion" one of my favorite Black Sabbath song. Next time maybe. I'll go with a Panterathon next. They have those grooves and riffs that you like. And so many good songs. Edit: Rage Against The Machine would be awesome
As great as Black Sabbath is, I really feel they are extremely underrated when it comes to music overall. IMO I feel they should be mentioned in the same conversation with LED zeppelin and the Beatles.
Also, if you guys read this, do the longer version of Children of the Grave where an intro called Embryo is included, it will make the transition that much more powerful!
Couldn't agree more that Priest should be next. They had so much influence in early metal and so many good songs to choose from... most with amazing solos.
Whenever a guitarist strikes a killer riff, Ryan kinda sing along with it while playing his air guitar. Whenever the drummer do a good fill or little solo, George open up a smile. I see you guys soon becoming musicians.
Joe Yuzwidk if you're on patreon, but they just did Dragonaut a few days ago on Patreon and they did not like it at all lol, Ryan in particular actually hated it, George just didn't care for it much.
This is probably my favorite Sabbath album. Doesn’t get talked about enough. It really takes you on a journey in the same way that Pink Floyd does, albeit in a different style.
It's 100% my favorite Sabbath record. So many killer gems on this one: Megalomania, Thrill of it All, The Writ... it's gold from start to finish. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is up there for me too
@@AKoss139 Tony walked into the chug shop with all the royalties money he got from the debut through to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and asked "how much chug can I get for this?"
Supertaldo916 They weren’t white supremesists. Where did you get your information? There were some false rumors about Phil Anselmo at one point, but they turned out to be absolutely wrong. Don’t be posting shit like that unless you have facts to back it up.
Supertaldo916 Your wrong. Even the lyrics are anti racist. Just because there’s a white guy with a shaved head being aggressive doesn’t mean he’s racist. From Rise: Every creed and every kind To give us depth for strength Taught when we're young to hate one another It's time to have a new reign of power Make pride universal so no one gives in Turn our backs on those who oppose Then when confronted we ask them the question That's wrong with their mind? What's wrong with your mind? …
12:17 That's what I was waiting for right there...your reaction to Ozzy's vocals! The transition into the last 2 minutes of the song is incredible! Ozzy sang his ass off on Sabotage and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath!
I'm old, I grew up listening to this with head phones on high as I could be on 8 track tape. Sabbath was my band, my top band out of the many great ones of the time. I got to see them in 78 before Ozzy left them and I stood right next to the stage 10 feet from Tony, my god. Great memories for sure. It's great to see people still discovering them to this day and loving them. Rock on.
Black Sabbath just finished their final tour about 3 years ago. They did an amazing final concert though, Ozzy's voice isn't completely there, and they had a different drummer that was more traditional heavy metal sounding and more straightforward than Bill Wards drumming. But the meat, Tony Iommis riffs and Geezer Butler's bass lines were better than ever. I'm sad I never got to see Sabbath live and never will 😢
I had the privilege of seeing the original lineup play at Jones Beach back in '04. My GF got sick halfway through and demanded to be driven home..... during NIB. I was disappointed, but figured I'd see them again, some day. Black Sabbath never did Ozzfest, again and by 2013, I was having a bad year, work wise, so I never got the chance.
@@peace__777 Saw 'em just before that when they played Ozzfest around 2000. So good. And they played Symptom (sans the part Ryan wants to loop, which they generally didn't play live).
Tyrone Mackay I saw them on the 13 tour and twice on The End tour, and it was the drumming that really stood out, it just lacked Bill Ward’s swing, didn’t have the same groove.
Sepultura did an awesome cover of this song, definitely did the song justice Love that Black Sabbath all day though! Stoner metal (been asking repeatedly for this song for awhile, like since I subscribed a few years back now.) Stoned Jesus- I'm the Mountain Also a good one, Monolord- Empress Rising. Keep it up though guys!
Tony Bologna mine as well 💙 I remember the first time I heard this song, I bought the album, went home & put it on my turntable, put on my headphones and I don’t think I moved for like 3 hours 🥰 I was blown away! That entire album is a masterpiece 🎸
Seeing Sabbath live is incredible. I’ve seen them over 20 times all over the world, from here in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Germany, and Japan. The GOAT
You fellas need to hear "The Writ" from this album. It doesn't mess around when it comes to a smoothness as well as working with Ozzy's voice. The transitions are also crazy as hell. Seriously need to consider it.
I've been screaming for The Writ of Thrill of it All. ..... Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you tell me if you can? When you see this world we live in do you still believe in man? ..... Beast....of a song
Yes, The Writ is an underrated song! I love the way both the music & the lyrics start with such vitriol & anger, then evolves to end up in a peaceful and upbeat place. It is just the catharsis the band needed at the time, and I always feel unburdened when I get to the end of it.
I love that song along with the thrill of it all. You can feel his voice, and the lyrics in your bones. The Writ was meant to be the centerpiece of the album. The Thrill Of It All: Inclination of direction, walk the turned and twisted rift With the children of creation futuristic dreams we sift Clutching violently we whisper with a liquefying cry Any deadly final answers that are surely doomed to die Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you tell me if you can? When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in man? If my songs become my freedom, and my freedom turns to gold Then I'll ask the final question, if the answer could be sold.
Once i saw a old t shirt that said "You can only trust yourself and the first six Black Sabbath albums", nothing more true! Thanks for this reaction boys!
When I was young, 13/14 I was all about the hip hop. Snoop (doggy style), Dre (The Chronic), NWA, Bone Thugs, Wu Tang, the list goes on. Then about 14ish I "found" Sabbath and it blew me away. So I totally get where you guys are coming from when you're talking about similar feeling of the music. From then on I was totally hooked and Sabbath lead the way for my tastes that followed. Metallica, Alice in Chains, Tool, Nirvana etc.. but I still hold a very soft spot for hip hop. Wu Tangs 36 Chambers will always be one of my favourite album's!. Love you guys, keep rocking 🤘❤️
A huge X2 on the 36 chambers.. from a fellow metalhead/Rock guy. That 36 chambers album is almost 30 yrs old now and still sounds fresh, llike early Sabbath and Metallica do as well.
Dude same here, first on the hip hop/rap wave with wu tang and others. Found sabbath and it opened me up to everything. But I’ll always have a soft spot for that stuff.
There are a few songs that could be considered thrash metal that predated Metallica: - Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" - Judas Priest's "Dissident Aggressor" - This song - Diamond Head's "Am I Evil?"
Metallica marathon would be the best! I've been waiting for a Disposable Heroes reaction! Or the whole albums of And Justice For All and Master of Puppets.
Yeah Metallica would be a great marathon...they need to pluck a tune from Kill Em' All, RTL, MOP, ...And Justice for All, Black album, Load/reload and even Death Magnetic. Jump in the Fire Creeping Death Disposable Heroes/Leper Messiah Harvester of Sorrow/...And Justice For All The Unforgiven/Wherever I May Roam Bleeding Me/Outlaw Torn/Fuel/Devil's Dance All Nightmare Long/The Day That Never Comes
10:58 it's already Iron Maiden type of transition....and I wish, Iron Maiden marathon... It would be great, epic thing with tousends of viewer. New Wave of British Heavy Metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) was inspired by Black Sabbath. So it could be the next step in this marathon.
I get that “they have (you)” and you guys are sold fans now buts it’s just fun to see your reactions to amazing music! That being said, do CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE and PLANET CARAVAN
The acoustic transition at the end is such a masterpiece bro🔥 Sabbath has really solidified themselves as my favorite band of all time as of pretty recently. They just pull such intense varieties of emotion from you as a listener. I feel this way and I only know of their first 6 albums lol
@@cloneboy42 It is a very hippy song indeed, I believe too, I think he meant that Black Sabbath had put a more dark & doom perspective in the whole "flowerish" scenery of the Era... It was more like "C'mon guys wake up, bloody do something".
@@cloneboy42 Children of the Grave captures early Sabbath's ethos better than any other. They agreed with the hippies' goals, but not their methods. The wanted the hippies to get angry at what was wrong with the world. Love wasn't going to fix anything if it wasn't backed by action.
This song came to the bass player (Geezer Butler) in a dream. When he woke he said that he grabbed a pen and pad and wrote down the lyrics and music and showed it to the other guys. Crazy ....
Your insights and observations are really putting into words for me some of my favorite aspects of Black Sabbath. One of the greatest bands of all time- thanks for the fantastic review!
Ozzy is wild and at the top of his game in the verses and it fits perfectly, it's all about how the hard and soft parts come together. Dynamics. Light and shade.
Headphones, try them on the early albums, Tony's over there and Geezer's over there. The mix is super bad-ass. Love when I know what's coming and laugh out loud when you dig what they hit us with. Tony still has more riffs. The other metal bands can't use that excuse. He's just a Bad Mfer.
As a 40 year Sabbath fan any negative vibes will never get me away from announcing that Sabbath are the true kings of metal and will always be a true inspiration to budding musicians
I keep saying this, but... Sleep- "Dragonaut", and High On Fire-"Frost Hammer", "Death Is This Communion", "Slave The Hive", etc. For you guys, prolly "Death Is This Communion".
The other two comments you hear in the metal community are: " It all leads back to Black Sabbath" "Listen to Black Sabbath!" They just retired a few years back. There is a shit ton of Black Sabbath live from different eras/ decade's/ singers/ on drugs etc. I second the Metallica marathon! The caviott is you need to start with Kill'em All then go chronologically.
@@fidacuca Meh....Load wasn't horrible like St. Anger but it's definitely not on par with Ride The Lighting or Master of Puppets.....not even close really. So yeah, my original statement stands, stop at And Justice For All.....

I think even he would admit that it's an over-simplification, intended to be a statement on their influence rather than a literal fact :)
I was wondering who said that? Makes since thought, Rob seems, to me, to be the kind of guy to recognize real.
Everything leads back to Black Sabbath if you listen closely they are gods in the genre
I see a man of culture.... From Sam Dunn's Heavy- The Story of Metal.
Sabotage is the most underrated of Sabbath's "classic six" and imo one of the best (if not the best depending on the day and mood).
Totally agree
Totally right. The album is amazing.
100% agree, Megalomania is one of my favorite songs ever written
Sabotage and Vol 4 are the best of the "classic 6" imo
Didn't ozzy like, blow his voice out on this album? He was great on Sabotage
When you buy a Sabbath album, you get 8 tracks. But in reality, you get 16.
Sometimes, even 20.
Too much studio time in this one.
@@MrRckstdy77 but thats a good thing it is pure megalomania ;)
If not 24 😂
4 to 5 riffs per song. 🎸

Against the world in which they have to live
And all the hate that's in their hearts
They're tired of being pushed around
And told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they've won
And love comes flowing through, yeah
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear, yeah
So you children of the world

That was a great Sabbathon. Too bad you didn't react to "Wheels of Confusion" one of my favorite Black Sabbath song. Next time maybe.
I'll go with a Panterathon next. They have those grooves and riffs that you like. And so many good songs.
Edit: Rage Against The Machine would be awesome
I'd love to see them do Message In Blood
As great as Black Sabbath is, I really feel they are extremely underrated when it comes to music overall. IMO I feel they should be mentioned in the same conversation with LED zeppelin and the Beatles.
Damn straight.
Totally agree mate, in fact it's the TH-cam reactors who are finally bringing them their due.
They created a genre. At the time there was nothing with this sound, as in their first album.
super facts
-00%
For the love of God, please just do “A National Acrobat” so I can die of Corona in peace
Yeah they need to do AT LEAST one song off of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath..
Yes
@@recnepselyp Denied!!
Dude yes. The lyrics, that riff.... so fuxking cool I 2nd, 3rd and 4th this
That one or "Killing Yourself To Live" from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH GUYS! COME ON!!!!
Judas Priest next
You're missing out you forgot "Children of the grave" is the missing link! On the Sabbathon
Also, if you guys read this, do the longer version of Children of the Grave where an intro called Embryo is included, it will make the transition that much more powerful!
Couldn't agree more that Priest should be next. They had so much influence in early metal and so many good songs to choose from... most with amazing solos.
So many amazing Judas Priest songs, I want them to hear a big sample even Turbo and the the Tim Ripper Owens stuff.
Tank you guys for bringing Black Sabbath to me. I hat NO idea. Love it.
Sleep - Dragonaut definetly! Stoner metal Marathon, weedeater, bongzilla, electric wizard, sleep etc. etc.

No, only dopesmoker. Make it a 2 hour long video. Why? Because it's dopesmoker.
Whenever a guitarist strikes a killer riff, Ryan kinda sing along with it while playing his air guitar.
Whenever the drummer do a good fill or little solo, George open up a smile.
I see you guys soon becoming musicians.
Dragonaut by sleep has such a great groove to it. You’d love it. One of the greatest riffs ever
Sounds a lot like Lord of this World.
Joe Yuzwidk if you're on patreon, but they just did Dragonaut a few days ago on Patreon and they did not like it at all lol, Ryan in particular actually hated it, George just didn't care for it much.
This is probably my favorite Sabbath album. Doesn’t get talked about enough. It really takes you on a journey in the same way that Pink Floyd does, albeit in a different style.
so true. I get what you mean. they have the same kind of depth and subtle complexity as Floyd. It is just a completely different style.
It's 100% my favorite Sabbath record. So many killer gems on this one: Megalomania, Thrill of it All, The Writ... it's gold from start to finish. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is up there for me too
I think a Stoner Rock/Metal marathon would be good. Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Clutch, Sleep, Melvins, Dozer...
Been wanting them to react to Sleep for so long
There's a strong argument for this being the genesis of thrash right here.
Kyle Semenoff This and Dissident Aggressor by Judas Priest 🤘
The chug!!
@@facelessandnameless this came out 2 yrs before dissident
@@AKoss139 Tony walked into the chug shop with all the royalties money he got from the debut through to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and asked "how much chug can I get for this?"
What about Queen-stone cold crazy?
Alice in chains, Pantera or 80s Metallica Marathon!!
i can get behind Pantera and 80s Metallica, but not an Alice In Chains fan
Theyve reacted to most AiC classics like Rooster, Man in the Box, Them Bones, Would....
They'll never react to Pantera again probably after realizing they where white supremacists, and I don't blame them.
Supertaldo916 They weren’t white supremesists. Where did you get your information? There were some false rumors about Phil Anselmo at one point, but they turned out to be absolutely wrong. Don’t be posting shit like that unless you have facts to back it up.
Supertaldo916 Your wrong. Even the lyrics are anti racist. Just because there’s a white guy with a shaved head being aggressive doesn’t mean he’s racist.
From Rise:
Every creed and every kind
To give us depth for strength
Taught when we're young to hate one another
It's time to have a new reign of power
Make pride universal so no one gives in
Turn our backs on those who oppose
Then when confronted we ask them the question
That's wrong with their mind?
What's wrong with your mind? …
Gotta love the Bill Ward love.
Also ... that's one of best changes ... ever.
I will forever advocate an Alice In Chains marathon. You guys have loved all their songs, why not do a marathon?
I whole-heartedly agree with this.
yes yes yes yes and yes
I’m in
Absolutely yes. Especially Jar of Flies album.
Dirt album review
Those little “drum solos” in between the riffs are called fills.
😂
That’s a little bit more than a fill
@@jadedland1 And that's just what they meant there.
@@jadedland1 those are Bill Ward fills
@@billgeezeriommi Fill Ward
12:17 That's what I was waiting for right there...your reaction to Ozzy's vocals! The transition into the last 2 minutes of the song is incredible! Ozzy sang his ass off on Sabotage and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath!
I'm old, I grew up listening to this with head phones on high as I could be on 8 track tape. Sabbath was my band, my top band out of the many great ones of the time. I got to see them in 78 before Ozzy left them and I stood right next to the stage 10 feet from Tony, my god. Great memories for sure. It's great to see people still discovering them to this day and loving them. Rock on.
"A NATIONAL ACROBAT" OFF OF SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH!
Sepultura does a great cover of this song. They take it to a more extremely thrashy level.
I was going to suggest that too! 🤘🏻
no it sucks
You guys missed out on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (the song, that is).
National Acrobat is phenomenal as well
Sabbra cadabra
Yeah man.. to me? They definitely should've done this over Symptom.. the main riff is beyond classic.
@@richardframeiii7371 I love the second riff that kicks in toward the end of the song.
Oh absolutely.. transition kings... that song is the essence of Sabbath in a lot of ways
Ozzy’s voice in this song is exactly how it should be. It’s kind of a raw “thrashy” type song.
This song basically invented Thrash metal... all the guys in Metallica were HUGE Sabbath fans. This was their inspiration for a lot of their sound.
@@VespoLiveGaming Children of the Grave must have been an influence on Metallica as well. The main riff especially.
@@stephenjames3651 yep... this song basically influenced EVERY metal band that came after it.
Cocaine is a helluva drug.. lol
Black Sabbath just finished their final tour about 3 years ago. They did an amazing final concert though, Ozzy's voice isn't completely there, and they had a different drummer that was more traditional heavy metal sounding and more straightforward than Bill Wards drumming. But the meat, Tony Iommis riffs and Geezer Butler's bass lines were better than ever. I'm sad I never got to see Sabbath live and never will 😢
I had the privilege of seeing the original lineup play at Jones Beach back in '04. My GF got sick halfway through and demanded to be driven home..... during NIB. I was disappointed, but figured I'd see them again, some day. Black Sabbath never did Ozzfest, again and by 2013, I was having a bad year, work wise, so I never got the chance.
@@peace__777 Saw 'em just before that when they played Ozzfest around 2000. So good. And they played Symptom (sans the part Ryan wants to loop, which they generally didn't play live).
Tyrone Mackay I saw them on the 13 tour and twice on The End tour, and it was the drumming that really stood out, it just lacked Bill Ward’s swing, didn’t have the same groove.
I was at the final show in San Antonio with my dad, I was I think 13. Absolutely killer, show had me crying at the end.
Got to see a ozzy Black sabbath double set at ozzfest 97 in Dallas Texas. It was amazing. Pantera was there also Will never forget that show
Sepultura did an awesome cover of this song, definitely did the song justice Love that Black Sabbath all day though! Stoner metal (been asking repeatedly for this song for awhile, like since I subscribed a few years back now.)
Stoned Jesus- I'm the Mountain
Also a good one, Monolord- Empress Rising. Keep it up though guys!
Igor's drums are just insane in that version
If you’re doing Zeppelin you gotta do “In my time of dying” 💙
Np Quarter live is excellent too
Yes!
Just hope if they do Zeppelin the video didnt get block or take down. Led zep is massive blocker
Andrew Bowen yes it is 🎤🎸
Tony Bologna mine as well 💙 I remember the first time I heard this song, I bought the album, went home & put it on my turntable, put on my headphones and I don’t think I moved for like 3 hours 🥰 I was blown away! That entire album is a masterpiece 🎸
Seeing Sabbath live is incredible. I’ve seen them over 20 times all over the world, from here in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Germany, and Japan. The GOAT
Damn. I was so ready to see you two being blown away by the masterpiece known as Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
AGREED!!! 🤘
Motorhead and Venom pretty much started thrash. Metallica just took it to another level. Bill Ward is a psycho. Such an amazing and active drummer
Lemmy is God
Lemmy is God.
Corrosion of Conformity - Clean My Wounds
or vote with a bullet
That whole album was great.
or It Is That Way.
Honestly, watching your reviews of these classic tunes helps me remember what it was like hearing them for the first time. Thanks for that!
Oh man rage against the machine marathon would kill, I would love to see your reactions to some of the covers from the renegades album
You fellas need to hear "The Writ" from this album. It doesn't mess around when it comes to a smoothness as well as working with Ozzy's voice. The transitions are also crazy as hell. Seriously need to consider it.
I've been screaming for The Writ of Thrill of it All. ..... Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you tell me if you can? When you see this world we live in do you still believe in man? ..... Beast....of a song
Yes, The Writ is an underrated song! I love the way both the music & the lyrics start with such vitriol & anger, then evolves to end up in a peaceful and upbeat place. It is just the catharsis the band needed at the time, and I always feel unburdened when I get to the end of it.
I love that song along with the thrill of it all. You can feel his voice, and the lyrics in your bones. The Writ was meant to be the centerpiece of the album.
The Thrill Of It All:
Inclination of direction, walk the turned and twisted rift
With the children of creation futuristic dreams we sift
Clutching violently we whisper with a liquefying cry
Any deadly final answers that are surely doomed to die
Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you tell me if you can?
When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in man?
If my songs become my freedom, and my freedom turns to gold
Then I'll ask the final question, if the answer could be sold.
+1 for The Writ.
PANTERA baby
5 minutes alone.
They revived metal in the 90's. Gotta getcha pull
Best lyric EVER!!!!! “ All I have to give you is a love that never dies, the symptom of the universe is written in your eyes.”
Once i saw a old t shirt that said "You can only trust yourself and the first six Black Sabbath albums", nothing more true! Thanks for this reaction boys!
Hahaha good one!
gabifromhell I want one!
Lol. Awesome. Although I do enjoy Technical ecstasy and the first two albums with Dio. 😊
@@allsystemsgo8678 me too bro, Dio rules!
Mastodon: The Czar:Usurper/Escape/Martyr/Spiral!
Christian Thiel they have been avoiding Mastodon since Oblivion. They should really check out this song.
they need react to whole album
Jaguar god aswell. Mastodon have so many choices
Indeed!!
@@iljakakturskii4223 That would bei awesome!
i'm going to add another "cant believe you never listened to children of the grave" sentiment
imo the best black sabbath song
When I was young, 13/14 I was all about the hip hop. Snoop (doggy style), Dre (The Chronic), NWA, Bone Thugs, Wu Tang, the list goes on. Then about 14ish I "found" Sabbath and it blew me away. So I totally get where you guys are coming from when you're talking about similar feeling of the music. From then on I was totally hooked and Sabbath lead the way for my tastes that followed. Metallica, Alice in Chains, Tool, Nirvana etc.. but I still hold a very soft spot for hip hop. Wu Tangs 36 Chambers will always be one of my favourite album's!. Love you guys, keep rocking 🤘❤️
If only every girl could pick up metal music and fall in love with it too.
A huge X2 on the 36 chambers.. from a fellow metalhead/Rock guy. That 36 chambers album is almost 30 yrs old now and still sounds fresh, llike early Sabbath and Metallica do as well.
Dude same here, first on the hip hop/rap wave with wu tang and others. Found sabbath and it opened me up to everything. But I’ll always have a soft spot for that stuff.
“Freya” by The Sword
YES! But I reckon Black River.
We HAVE to get them to do The Sword, only question is which song?
Let's make this a The Sword thread.
How about Cloak of Feathers?
th-cam.com/video/DVkrh9fihFk/w-d-xo.html
@Aidan Giri
Sorry, I misspelled "Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians"
Seconded
Stoner/doom metal marathon !!!!
Sleep
Electric wizard
Yob
Monolord
I really want them to react to Dopesmoker. ;)
David Miller Me too! Or anything from Holy Mountain, obviously Dragonaut is a great starting point too.
THE SWORD
Ufomammut
Elder.
“Killing yourself to Live”- Black Sabbath 🔥
& Children of The graves & NIB if you didn’t do that yet
There are a few songs that could be considered thrash metal that predated Metallica:
- Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy"
- Judas Priest's "Dissident Aggressor"
- This song
- Diamond Head's "Am I Evil?"
Early Motorhead too.
Acid from belgium
Stone Cold Crazy sounds more like a type of punk than thrash metal
Zeppelin's Communication Breakdown.
@@davidcollins3906 sounds more punk than thrash
A reaction of “Children of the grave” would probably complete the whole black sabbath with ozzy
Metallica marathon would be the best! I've been waiting for a Disposable Heroes reaction!
Or the whole albums of And Justice For All and Master of Puppets.
Ride and Kill, they haven't reacted to anything off of Kill
G filmer - I think they did Seek & Destroy on Patreon
@@house9Tube Yeah.
Yeah Metallica would be a great marathon...they need to pluck a tune from Kill Em' All, RTL, MOP, ...And Justice for All, Black album, Load/reload and even Death Magnetic.
Jump in the Fire
Creeping Death
Disposable Heroes/Leper Messiah
Harvester of Sorrow/...And Justice For All
The Unforgiven/Wherever I May Roam
Bleeding Me/Outlaw Torn/Fuel/Devil's Dance
All Nightmare Long/The Day That Never Comes
I must support the swell of Alice in Chains marathon requests...
"A National Acrobat" must be a part of any Black Sabbath marathon. The heaviest song of all time in my opinion
10:58 it's already Iron Maiden type of transition....and I wish, Iron Maiden marathon... It would be great, epic thing with tousends of viewer. New Wave of British Heavy Metal (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) was inspired by Black Sabbath. So it could be the next step in this marathon.
Ryan: We could do a Metallica marathon.
George: Nnnnyyyyeh...
Lol George is marathoned out
The transition at the end of this song always gets me hyped the acoustics/bass/drums/Ozzys voice all blend so damn well in that part.
Y’all need to check out Megalomania, it’s from this same album.
Kickass song!!
Fck yea and the writ
Yep, since they mentioned about hearing the "full spectrum" of Sabbath, they got to hear the Psychedelic Sabbath.
@@seanleitch4274 and The thrill of it all and Hole in the sky
You never hit the Alice in Chains Jar of Flies album, I Stay Away is so good
I get that “they have (you)” and you guys are sold fans now buts it’s just fun to see your reactions to amazing music! That being said, do CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE and PLANET CARAVAN
I'm seeing a lot of suggestions for stoner/doom, so let me agree! Sleep are the best of it.
The acoustic transition at the end is such a masterpiece bro🔥 Sabbath has really solidified themselves as my favorite band of all time as of pretty recently. They just pull such intense varieties of emotion from you as a listener. I feel this way and I only know of their first 6 albums lol
The anticipation waiting to see your reaction around 11:55 was great lol, knew you guys would love it!
Children of the Grave, the song that murdered the hippie generation in one swing.
I also want them to react to Children, but how did it murder the hippie generation? If anything, the lyrics are pro-hippie
@@cloneboy42 It is a very hippy song indeed, I believe too, I think he meant that Black Sabbath had put a more dark & doom perspective in the whole "flowerish" scenery of the Era... It was more like "C'mon guys wake up, bloody do something".
Yea
That song is beyond good
@@cloneboy42 Children of the Grave captures early Sabbath's ethos better than any other. They agreed with the hippies' goals, but not their methods. The wanted the hippies to get angry at what was wrong with the world. Love wasn't going to fix anything if it wasn't backed by action.
This song came to the bass player (Geezer Butler) in a dream. When he woke he said that he grabbed a pen and pad and wrote down the lyrics and music and showed it to the other guys. Crazy
....
Geezer never gets the credit he truly deserves!
Your insights and observations are really putting into words for me some of my favorite aspects of Black Sabbath. One of the greatest bands of all time- thanks for the fantastic review!
SLEEP - Holy Mountain or Dragonaut! THE Stoner metal band. I'll keep saying it until you check em out haha.
Also please check out Freya by The Sword - you’d love that stoner metal song
The sword!!
THE SWORD!!!!!! \m/
Excellent call 👌🏻
Ozzy’s live version of “symptoms of the universe “ is off the charts
Ozzy is wild and at the top of his game in the verses and it fits perfectly, it's all about how the hard and soft parts come together. Dynamics. Light and shade.
"Airdance" and "Spiral Architect" Then you will have heard the full spectrum of Sabbath's repertoire.
In the last section of Airdance, you can hear the jazz background of the guys really come to the front.
Airdance is Sabbath's most underrated tune.
They haven't done anything like Planet Caravan, Changes or She's Gone
Air dance always reminds me of Spinal Tap.
Fluff
That's officially the heaviest riff in metal history🤘🏼
Yep 🤟🤟🤟
C# tuning 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Headphones, try them on the early albums, Tony's over there and Geezer's over there. The mix is super bad-ass. Love when I know what's coming and laugh out loud when you dig what they hit us with. Tony still has more riffs. The other metal bands can't use that excuse. He's just a Bad Mfer.
As a 40 year Sabbath fan any negative vibes will never get me away from announcing that Sabbath are the true kings of metal and will always be a true inspiration to budding musicians
I keep saying this, but... Sleep- "Dragonaut", and High On Fire-"Frost Hammer", "Death Is This Communion", "Slave The Hive", etc. For you guys, prolly "Death Is This Communion".
For HoF I my favorites are: Commeth Down Hessian, Rumors of War, Holy Flames of the Fire Spitter, and Fertile Green
This guy gets it.
The Falconist!
Fertile Green
The other two comments you hear in the metal community are:
" It all leads back to Black Sabbath"
"Listen to Black Sabbath!"
They just retired a few years back. There is a shit ton of Black Sabbath live from different eras/ decade's/ singers/ on drugs etc.
I second the Metallica marathon!
The caviott is you need to start with Kill'em All then go chronologically.
Pete Brown If they did a Metallica marathon and they went chronologically that would be pretty awesome! 🤘
And stop at And Justice For All.......😁
No, stop it at Load.
@@fidacuca
Meh....Load wasn't horrible like St. Anger but it's definitely not on par with Ride The Lighting or Master of Puppets.....not even close really. So yeah, my original statement stands, stop at And Justice For All.....
No stopping without Children of the grave and possibly Planet Caravan!
Leonardo Postacchini PLANET CARAVANNNNN
Glad to see you giving Bill Ward some love , he was wearing those drums out
