Also with good drumming listen to Slipknot: People=Shit
....or just GWAR War is all we know 😉 Thx guys 😄
Happy Birthday bro!! (I'll pin this because we will definitely forget the shout out by the time we meet up for our next installment of vids lol). Enjoy your B-Day (be safe) and thank you for supporting!
Gwar!
Jay Despirited happy birthday
Chauncey Singletary Thank you fellow Free thinker! Maybe someone should make some shirts.......just saying Id buy one 😊
Brian Madigan Thats all that really needs to be said lol
Ozzy: Speaks in an incomprehensible language that only his wife can understand... Sings perfectly...
It’s so interesting
Yeah, it's a funny old world. I'm told that I've a bit of a (non-English) accent when speaking but have "perfect" American accent when "singing". A buddy of mine is at least a Nordic champion of stuttering when speaking, but if he just sings it's flawless. I remember seeing him at a gig, years ago. His between-song banter was A-grade stuttering, but when he sang (he was the singer in the band) it all came out so smooth. And very, very American :P
Singing uses a different part of the brain. That's why people like Ozzy or people with stutters can sing perfect.
You forget this song is from the 70's before he destroyed himself with drugs and alcohol.
I hear every word he sings!
Man, seeing two people hear Black Sabbath for the first time and 'getting it' is a beautiful thing.
Tïr Eoghain Blackman so true. and not just "getting it" but loving it and rocking out to it.
They just found out about Rush the other day :)
Vietnam was the most opposed war worldwide, with an unachievable objective and no real "winners". Very nice job of dissecting one of many anti war songs, and the emotion of it's structure.
Watching these two fall in love with things I love is why I follow this channel. It's so great seeing people discover something you love.
I wish I could go back and hear this song for the first time again.
“A rich man’s war is a poor man’s battle”.
Black Sabbath, ahead of their time.
Where is that quote from?
It's been that way since the beginning of civilization. You are still 100% correct.
That quote has been around for years and years and years. Nothing original about that lyric. But that song NEVER gets old! Rocked to it since around 1976.
Way Way Ahead !!!!
@@johnrock3757 whenever there were big armies being chucked at each other that's true but there are many cases where being in the military was better than being a peasant, at least you would have some higher standing for yourself and your family. Rome, the Shogunate in Japan, ancient Greece are a few examples. It's really not until the French Revolutionary wars and Napoleonic wars that armies were made up of conscripts from poverty. Still, 200+ years is a long time.
This Black Sabbath album came out Sept. 1970 when I was 14. I bought the album when I was 15. We played it...we ate it...we digested it and revered it.
I'm 65 years old now but whenever I hear this song, it still evokes emotion. It was a masterpiece!!
I heard it for the first time when I was 11 in 1981. My brother was so disturbed by the album covers that he threatened to tell my parents. LOL. Same as you, it always takes me back.
At 52 I know what you mean. Took my son to see The End tour. Blown away
"We played it... we ate it... we digested it and revered it"
Preach, man
And remember it came out on Friday the 13th
Same here I was 14 been my favorite band of all time still jamming to it
The drummer, Bill Ward is one of the most underrated drummers of all time. Very primal. He's like Animal from the Muppets
Don JuanVonBonfiglio III Funny thing is either Tommy Iommi or Ozzy came out and said that he can't do time signatures worth a damn, and has trouble keeping the timing of the song. It probably lends itself to the primal and offbeat nature of his drumming.
Haaaahaa animal from the muppets. ..that's actually very fitting
What you know about Black Sabbath
Billy Ward is one of the greats. Jazz drummer 100 percent. He was all point and counterpoint. Why would you have to play a beat when your guitar and bass held that shit down like they did. As a drummer you were free to float in and out, around, bend time and drive your vocals.
So underrated he top 5 drummers imo
The song is from 1970, the drummer is Bill Ward, a monster drummer, the lyrics are written mostly by Geezer Butler, the bass player, the singer is the great Ozzy Osbourne, and the guitarist and founder of the band is Tony Iommi, a left handed riff-genious. Tony has lost his finger tips from his middle finger and ring finger, but he didn't give up and he made some thimbles and put them on his fingers to keep playing.
Now, Hendrix is from the '60s, and Iommi really doesn't have a lot to do with Hendrix, but Tony was strongly inspired by blues, and Hendrix was a great blues rock guitar player, so I guess that's why they sound similar, that's all I can say.
And also, for the solos, in this song Tony actually played two different solos for each solo section, so that's why you can hear more than one guitar, the solos are double tracked/harmonised.
There, hope I answered to all of the questions you made in the video!
Black Sabbath is my favourite band, and I love this song!!
Ilir Piliki Um, its from 1970 lol
Yeah, the album Paranoid came out in 1970, not 1972.
My bad, I'm sorry! It's 1970.
Again, hope I gave an answer to all of the questions in the video.
And yeah, Bill Ward is a God! At the end, Black Sabbath itself is a God band.
Ilir Piliki Imo the best metal drummer
Rporta I agree, though I'm not a drummer and I really am not even a decent musician at all, so I shouldn't be judging lol
But still, I'm not a guy who listens to the drums, when I listen to a song I mostly focus on guitars, bass, vocals and lyrics, but, when I listen to Black Sabbath, Bill really catches my attention.
Usually I don't give a shit about drums, but when I listen to Sabbath I'm like "Wooh! The drumming is sick!", it's like Bill is screaming at me lol
He's really the only one drummer who catches my attention even when I don't care about the drums, and that's something that not everyone is able to do!
The reason that Bill Ward's drumming has that groovy swing to it is because his four biggest influences were Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson, & Bernard Purdie -- all jazz, r&b, & funk drummers
You can absolutely hear the Purdie
Saw Buddy Rich in person!
War Pigs is probably one of the best songs ever, the composition, guitars, drums, bass, vocals everything really astounding individually but also complements each other so good as a whole
This is Black Sabbath.
My favorite has to be love hate love by Alice In Chains but this is good to!
Yes, I agree. This song should be studied by any musician.
@@roberteichner3021 That's a good freaking tune
George and Ryan: "That's hot!"
Black Sabbath fans: "Welcome to the party, boys."
George and Ryan, Are tardy to the party. By about 50 years. Lol
I'm embarrassed by them broadcasting Sabbath knowing nothing at all about them!
@@196637643gary never too late though
@@patrickjarvis6160 dude you're sooooo cool that you know Soo much about BS
Joe, you there
"Satan laughing, spreads his wings." is just pure goosebump fuel. The power of that lyric is sick.
Yeah, esp. when contrasted with 'Oh Lord yeah!'. Those two lines side by side always struck me. They did that ish on purpose, knowing damn well it would stir up some ish.😂 I heard this album way back in high school in the early 90s and ain't neva looked back.💯 #Sabbath4EVER🤘🏽
One of the most fire lines written
That's what he did when i thought i could defeat him
Ozzy could not write, his bass player wrote this off his mouth. It's a fukkin faling star. Written off the steel street off Birmingham, and still relevant
I loved writing this on notebooks in school.
Shout out to geezer butler. The brains in Black Sabbath. Thought provoking lyrics he wrote. Absolute legend
"You can boogey down the Soul Train line, AND learn about the atrocities of war"
That line was golden. haha good stuff
I love how Ozzy can SING perfect pronunciation but when he TALKS you can't understand a fuckin thing he's sayin! Hahah
Different parts of the brain. When he sings he knows the songs. When he does interviews he has to go on the fly and from his drug use im sure that messes up how certain things he does can be easy but some are difficult
Bradley Kampa same thing with when he writes, his writings are very well thought out and easy to follow
Tough to slurr when you're yelling, you know?
Yeah I know, I was just raggin on his accent, "I'm the prince of fucking darkness " lol, so good
It happens with Lemmy too.
I'm told Bill Ward's drums were hospitalized after the beating he gave them
Lol 😆
Bill Ward was almost killed by the band several times. Tony Iommi set him on fire at least twice, and one time they covered him in gold spray paint, which closed all of his pores and led to his hospitalization.
Lol
Lol!!! Yeah, his drum set filed a restraining order the next day.
@@stephenjernigan1057 HAH!
My daughter is 9 years old and her favorite band is Black Sabbath, and we always jam to this song. She wants to be a drummer because of this song.
I love how bands in the 60s-70s would have the instrumental jam go on without the vocals for large chunks of time. I feel like nowadays there's more emphasis on vocals all the time.
Gotta make use of auto tune 🙄
Vocals all the time, and generally with poor lyrics.
Depends on band. U clearly haven't listened to much swans
Labels believed that listeners got bored listening to longer more complicated songs, so artists get pushed from that and with the way media keeps shorter and more explosive I can’t help but think we’ll never get this stuff back.
@@TSE_WOODY there are bands that still write long songs tho. Just not in mainstream
It's like a time machine watching your reactions to War Pigs. I bought this album in 1972 and three or four of my friends and I sat down and spun it. Watching your reactions to every riff and beat instantly transports me back 45+ yrs when a group of High School boys lost their minds listening to Sabbath for the very first time. All smiles here, you've made my day....
Vince Miller > I was thinking the same as you, Vince. I'm sixty years old and you and your friends, were me and my friends 45 years ago. We were all blown away by Sabbath the same way you guys were! Then VOL. 4 comes out and it was end game. these guys seem even more excited than we were. Great music never gets old. I still listen to my music on my 45 year old Sansui stereo,and it still sounds awesome!
Great album front to back
I had the same reaction as you, brother!!!
What you said, Vince. This is before my time. I grew up with Bark at the Moon and Ballads by Ozzy. The first time I heard this I was like, "What kinda horror movie alternate universe is this band? And what is that groove that is somehow coming through?"
Exact same reaction. I don’t know why watching this is making me so happy.
it's so fucking dope to see someone who's never heard this classic get to experience it for the first time and enjoy it so much. you two are fucking awesome
that's what makes this channel so awesome!
Yep
I remember my parent's neighborhood house parties: hippies, bikers, weed, whiskey, and beer. Big bonfire and BBQ. Music was loud and joy was free.
Those were the days, for sure.
Jeez, what an utopia... I'd surely be happy if I was there...
By far the best reaction to this song. Your joy listening to the music is contagious. You guys are very charismatic by the way. Greetings from Brazil.
Every musician's goal should be to write something that pushes Ryan from "That's hot. That's hot." to "That is just FIRE." to "That. Is. DESTRUCTION." Or to make George lean back in his chair and rub his eyes and push his glasses up because the song goes so hard he needs a break.
Tim Sullivan yessssss
And to make George's "stink face", of course.
WOW! I’m a 60+ woman who was a teenager in the 70’s. Black Sabbath was the joint back then and seeing you enjoy them now brings back wonderful memories for me. I love you two, watching you bring back the old feelings of grooving with my friends many of which not around anymore. Soooooo glad I found y’all.
doris wilson ⏳ the sands of time can never bury the memories that we made in the late 60s they the 70s.
hit me up on Facebook. you sound like someone I need on my friends list.
50 here. My sisters were 9 and 10 years older than me so everything they listened to I listened to and I am grateful to them and you.
Late 40's here. I, like you, enjoy seeing people hear this music for the first time. Easily one of my favorite bands ever. I play many of Geezers riffs on my bass. Love this band more than I can explain in words.
same here...makes me laugh & my heart sing to see this generation "finding" our music...see guys, we know what music is...
IAM SO GLAD TO MEET YOU BROTHERS, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY BLACK PERSON THAT WAS INTO BLACK SABBATH. POPE IVA. 🕊🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯🕊
The song was about how the people in charge of the country send the young low class people to fight their wars for them to profit from the war
All classes profit when a war is won. Also all classes fight a war when the army is not professional.
Like an old version of B.Y.O.B
Ozzy and the band were from Birmingham an economically depressed industrial city. Most kids were from poor working class families who were treated like second class citizens. So I’m sure the lyrics were very relevant to them. Ozzy spoke of not feeling like he fit it in to the “peace and love” hippy music scene, because where they were from was hard and gritty, so they wanted to make music that scared people
@@innosanto you know nothing john snow
Ain't nothing new under the sun isn't it?
"We're gonna get to Hendrix"
Narrator: They did not
andrew furman 😢
Love these two, but if they stopped reacting to these obscure progressive metal bands and got into Hendrix, Rage Against the Machine and more Sabbath, they’d find a lot more music that they love imo.
@@RektRL did you just call black sabbath an obscure progressive metal band? :O Anyway, they have done a couple RATM songs. I'm guessing they dont do a lot of Hendrix because they both know it and want new reactions.
James Lazarus no. I’m talking about Opeth, Dream Theater, etc. You’d see in my comment that I refer to Sabbath as a band they should listen to more of - aka not a progressive metal band
@@RektRL Can't argue there. Would love them to do more Dream Theater, like "In the Name of God" or "Home".
"How much does a drum set cost" is classic.
Hehe... made me smile too. I'd put the range at, um, $20-10,000+? Or free if your friend's kid gave up years ago and they are tired of cleaning around it. :)
@@ercl2837 you can get a simple, good kit for a couple thousand. Have fun!
My dad says the first time he heard this album was at the same party where he first met my mom. He did not elaborate further.
This is how brothers really listen to stuff, watch movies, they are participants, they are an involved audience, they converse their way through. One of the greatest songs of all time, being given it's justice. These guys are the ones.
War Pigs is the most important song ever written.
*One of* the most important songs.
Definitely one of the best songs ever made, but also one of the best bands as well. Perfect!
Ryan it breaks my heart to hear you talk about how badly you want to play guitar, because you keep saying things like "if I could go back in time." Play music at ANY level is one of the greatest things a human can do. It opens up your soul in ways nothing else can.
So long as your hands work, it's not too late. Please man, if not for yourself then for all of your fans, pick up a guitar
give that man some likes! also: george should get himself a drumset :D
Dude yes! I’ve heard him say it several times and I thin the exact same thing! He’s still crazy young to pick up an instrument
I didn't start playing guitar until I was 35. Now I play out at gigs regularly.
This. Its never too late as long as you're breathing.
Well said brother
I was at the concert recently (All Them Witches in Toronto) and before they started playing, war pigs played. Man, everyone in the audience started chanting that song. Not even a strictly metal band, but the hold that this band has over metal, 50 years after their prime, remains unparalleled.
The drums on this is spectacular! What’s even more incredible, geezer is able add the icing on the groove cake with bass!
It’s crazy that you mentioned jimmy Hendrix, this album came out the SAME DAY Hendrix died!
Passing of the torch in a way, Hendrix opened the door to metal and Sabbath ripped off the hinges.
@@raynwolfsbane2084 Agreed. Another way of seeing it is if you consider Hendrix as a psychedelic rock band.
Then it's like Sabbath killed the hippy generation by talking about the reality and not love, peace and girls.
The birth of heavy metal, right at the peak of Vietnam. Not a coincidence.
Whaaaaat I had no idea man. I love youtube comments like this haha you learn so much
i was going to like your comment but it was at 420 so i left it be.
Bill Ward's drumming = ten elephants on steroids.
I'd imagine elephants would be terrible drummers. Not having prehensile thumbs and all. Not to mention they can't sit on a stool.
@@tokejones9278
We'll let that be your little secret.
Black Sabbath is the greatest Christian band in the world
C'mon. For sure. The greatest Christian band no one knows
ABSOLUTLY, the greatest Christian rock group of all-time
actually its not even generic "chistian" music
this is old school hyper-catholic heavy metal
Grew up in a Satanic household and converted instantly after I hear this song
@@huntertate1111 Let's not forget Marilyn Manson
@@slysmyle972 I've never heard anyone sound worse live than Manson
I'm vicariously reliving my teen years through these 2 young guys ears and hearts - while they are adding their own cultural perspective to what may be old for me (I'm 57), is new for them - giving me a new perspective and appreciation for this musical perspective. by FAR my favourite show of this nature - you guy's make it fun and very informative.
Interesting fact: Hendrix died on September 18, 1970.
War Pigs was released on September 18, 1970
Tarman holy crap that’s actually really weird
He never heard the song
He would have loved it and been inspired by it. If Hendrix hadn't fucked up, he would have paved the way for an alternate reality where he released proto metal albums in the 70s.
jimi hendrix never died, he planted the body of a lookalike to fool us all with and fled to africa
Just confirmed these dates. Jimi prolly woulda dug this song
That song is almost 50 years old and is just as relevant today as it was then. You can apply ideas and beliefs from the Vietnam War era to now.
I'm almost crying wanting to experience the feeling of listening to this for the first time again like these guys
I've listened to this song over 37 years but watching your review/reaction gave me a whole new perspective on the feel of the entire song. Thank you. I'm glad you're learning to enjoy what I've been enjoying and teaching me something about it.
The British drummers, especially from the 60s and 70s were HUGE fans of American Jazz drummers. They turned into heavy metal.
Max Roach. I'd bet my next paycheck Bill Ward was thinking about Max Roach.
Not only British; Neil Peart and Ian Paice (Deep Purple) were fans of Buddy Rich; Neil actually played on tribute album to Buddy. That's what's missing in many new drummers - they only grew up listening to rock and metal. Many can't play nuances in music and it all sounds the same. One of things that made Megadeth great was the jazz fusion background inspired drumming by Garth Samuelson (RIP) who left us too early living fast like some of his jazz heroes.
Agreed ...and jazz influenced funk ...and of course swing influenced them as well. But yeah ...jazz drummers have a unique command of a kit ...the dynamic inflections that they add ...add breath and life to the song.
When I watch these guys, it always takes me back to the first time I heard these jams. Magical experiences.
Dude OK yessss! It makes me excited all over again!!
I was born in 1981. I play drums. This song is older than me. Heard it a million times.
Watching you guys listen to it made it so fresh. I dont have kids. But I felt like this is what it would be like if my kids would naturally headband to it
“To me that sounds like the end is coming.” Same here man.
I was wondering, does he mean the end of the song or the end of time ; )
Black men bobbing their heads...nasty face...stank face...Ryan going off...George trying to figure it all out...
In 2017 to be this geeked up about a 47 year old song is incredible
This is the epitome of excellence...and I rarely listen to stuff like this
Best channel on the tube!!!
And don't forget about Mural
I'm a 44 years old headbanging metal maniac and I totally love you guys! No matter if you're into metal, rock, hip hop, rnb whatever, music is a universal language, speaking through and to our souls! Peace.
Nikos Grigoriadis even limp Bizkit
Black Sabbath came from England, they all had family who either survived or died being bombed by Germany or fighting in WWII. This song was written in the late 60's, Vietnam War was going full blast, so it's easy to see how they present the anti-war message. Paranoid the album was released in 1970. Before most people's parents watching TH-cam was born. Lyrics still apply to the present.
this is the 1#anti-war song, no other beats it, even CCR's song.
Where they grew up in Birmingham, lots of places were still left bombed out from WW2 as well.
It was my pure pleasure to see you both experience the phenomenal music of my youth and really get it. 50 years have past and that song is still sick
If these dudes ever got guitar hero theyd never get off the game
Jacob Henson wow I thought only I had been thinking that, let’s pitch in for them!
They should get Rocksmith and Rock Band with an actual electric guitar set and start practicing
Guitar Hero was the whole childhood
Tony Iommi invented heavy metal. He IS Iron Man. He worked in a steel mill in factory town Birmingham England. He was going to quit to join his friends & start Black Sabbath. On his last day a steel press machine that bends steel plates slammed down & cut off 2 of his finger tips. He relearn how to play again, made caps for his tips & Black Sabbath sound was born. Guitar God!
I totally agree! he is a true guitar god. I have seen them only once, but when Iommi entered the stage and started playing I felt all the energy and skills from him, it was like the whole atmosphere was focused around this guy (no I was not high xD) it was just sth. unique and special, that was the day I became a huge Black Sabbath fan \m/
No single individual invented heavy metal. It happened over time with contributions from a lot of different musicians.
Tommi also had to tune the guitar down a whole step to make it easier to play. That is how the heavy metal sound was born.
No, he was going on a tour with Jethro Tull when he lost his fingertips. While he was in the hospital someone played him Django Reinhardt, a jazz guitarist who's fingers had been melted together in a fire. When he heard Django play with two fingers he figured he should be able to get by without his fingertips.
The MC5 were before Black Sabbath
Tony Iommi literally had metal fingertips due to a smelting accident. He has such a unique sound on guitar
Tony Iommi had fingertips made from a melted down plastic bottle covered in bits from an old leather jacket and he lost his fingers in a metal press that he wasn't trained to use, not in a smelting accident.
Oh, word
I heard that he slowly ate a car over a period of 5 years and anything he couldn't excrete through his ass was deposited in his fingers due to bad circulation there from his guitar calluses, in the end he was killed when he walked into a scrap yard to eat another car and spontaneously flew like superman into the big magnet there, pulled by his fingertips into death
Hence the name....
Goldmember
Definitely one of the greatest songs ever recorded
It's one guitarist, one drummer, one bassist, and one vocalist. This album is timeless
simples assim
AS A 52 YEAR OLD MAN IT IS COOL TO HEAR PEOPLE STILL LEARNING ABOUT SABBATH. GREAT SONG. I BEEN LOVING THIS SONG FOR 4O YEARS.
METLEDSABBATHICA UDO they need to do some more Clutch!!
I just clicked on here to see how you guys are doing.
0:17 "A hundred thousand subscribers!!!"
You're at 1.06M.
Gentlemen, congratulations on 1M subs! You guys are the best. Period. Keep going!
To me this is the most important song ever recorded and a great one, shame on our governments for having war and having the poor or reg folks fight their political battles and one day they will have their judgment day. Early 70's.
1970
As a Marine….I absolutely agree. We are no one.
Possibly the only channel anywhere that claims "unbiased" and actually follows through. Great channel!
Black Sabbath invented Heavy Metal. There was no such thing before them.
Nah, I’ve seen a dozen who feel the music and let the worldly shit slip.
Long live rock!
"You can boogie down a Soul Train line and learn about the atrocities of war at the same time." That is my favorite quote of all time :)
Black Sabbath is so Funky for real though
That's poster-quote worthy.
So funny
Yeah I laughed my ass off at that one too by the way love the moniker. Pax.
I DID boogie-down a Soul Train Line (AT home... every weekend) while learning about the atrocities of war. We are ALL ONE. Fight the Powers that wish to kill us all.
If you don't have any Black Sabbath in your playlist you don't have a playlist. O lord ya! 🤘🤘
This being one of my favourite songs/bands means I've watched a good few 'reaction videos' of this song. This is, without doubt, the best 'reaction vid' I've seen. You can clearly see the appreciation you guys have for this absolute gem of a track. This, unlike many 'reactions' I've seen, is most definitely legit.
Good stuff, guys.....
Cemetery Gates by Pantera has an excellent example of the guitar mirroring the vocals - until the vocals can’t hang and the guitar takes it one step further.
Jimi Hendrix died the day War Pigs was released.
I wonder what he would have thought of it..
@callum crean
Jimi Hendrix, my friend.
Jimi.
toddvandell85 hate too see it spelt wrong myself people do it to me everyday named after the man
thats crazy that he died the day of the War Pigs. its like peace and love died and ozzy was scoring the tragedy T_T
He would have loved it!
What if he heard it before dying
Randy Rhodes was one of the greatest guitarists alive in his day. RIP Randy!
Black Sabbath's first 5 albums are what shaped metal music forever. You can hear why.
Jimmy Hendrix was an inspiration to almost every 70’s Metal/Rock bands, Jimmy was in the 60’s
(Jimi.)
I see that BOC profile pic
not much of an influence here. black sabbath was essentially a blues band named "earth" before they were black sabbath. so it's probably more apt to say that jimi and them had the same influences.
Jimmie was the king..in my opinion the greatest guitar player ever..today they have so much help from computer generated sounds..but jimmie did it without all of that stuff..all along the watchtower...classic and killer song
@@normanwright6466 all along the watchtower was originally by Bob Dylan mate, so Jimi had some help with that song too ;)
I'm 46 now and have grown up listening to this music (thanks to an older brother) and I have to say, it's truly awesome getting to see people enjoy it for their first time. You make me feel like I've been taking it for granted.....lol
I still remember the first time I heard it. I was already into "Heavier Music", and heard this. I stopped, was a New Year's Eve Party, and focused solely on the song. To this day, it's the only song that I can remember the EXACT Moment I heard it. Still one of my Favorite Songs 30 years later.
Guys
Lots of respect from Ireland.
You guys really get deep on your subject matter. Makes us out here feel like we're right there with you. You two give us a sense of having a community.
Just requesting that you consider "Panama" by Van Halen
or anything by Talib Kweli off of his " Right about now" album.
We like him too and his collaborator DJ Hi- Tech
👍
II have always been just as impressed with Bill Ward's drumming on this track
That 8 bar fill he does towards the end of the song is one of my all time favorites
You guys should make “But who’s the drummer?!” shirts
I second that, I would buy it lol
Omg yes
Now you understand where the head banging was born. Metal has a groove to it.
WOW! Just stumbled upon you guys today while looking @ other reaction videos. Your genuine reactions are Awesome ✌️
This song is everything a metal song should be. Its perfect in every way. Thing of it is, this kind of music had never been made before and was perfected the first time it was. This is one of the most important songs and bands in history. No question
I will say what everybody is thinking but nobody is saying... your videos are doing more to bring down the racial divides in this country than all of our politicians combined! KEEP IT UP GUYS!
Yes, these guys need a spot national television so they can spread the love.
100% they are doing great work showing that people from all walks can bond over things like music.
i agree but what impresses me more is there age and the fact that they werent into this stuff until recently. ive seen other reaction sites where they just watch it and then just be like yea that was cool or whatever but these 2 genuinely get into it.
Way to be!
Nothing like music and food to bring people together. Love these guys.
So nice to see some love for Bill Ward, love all of those drum licks, one of rocks greatest drummers! ;)
He wasn't as good as Bonham (probably an unfair comparison), but Bill Ward wrote alot of interesting beats that sounds kickass, and (if you're a drummer) fun to play. In my opinion, he was the standout in War Pigs.
The brothers be goin crazy with Ward. Love it!!!!
My old boss was called Bill Ward. I caught Sabbath the end Tour and have him fake shit for a week for not touring. The show was awe inspiring by the way. Ozzy sounded great and this was a highlight in my concert going life. After 50 odd concerts that's saying something.
Bruh. Bill Ward is, without a doubt, one of the pioneers of metal drumming. He may not have been the best, or the most technically sound...but he helped create a sound that lasted for decades.
Guys, I gotta say, it literally brings tears to my eyes watching to guys react and enjoy great music that I was able to grow up listening to. Great job. Love your videos.
favorite song of all time,58 now,was a little hippie kid growing up on kodiak island alaska with hair to my waist lol,love sabbath and all metal
Tony Iomi = guitar
Geezer Butler - Bass
Bill Ward -Drums
Everyone raves about Tony's guitar riffing, but Geezer's bass playing is what makes this song for me.
Sheldon Nicholl absolutely correct
Sheldon Nicholl I grew up in England listing to these brummie working class boys and you are 100% right . Butler was a genius on that bass and wrote lyrics that speak on many levels
It's not so much Tony's riffs, it's the tone of his guitar and how he lets the chords ring out...the sustain...
Type O Negative took this further, if you haven't listened to them, particularly on their first album 'Slow, Deep, and Hard' and their fake live album 'Origin of the Feces'.
Yeah, bass is dope too, definitely.
I recently listened to this with my younger son. (14) His jaw hit the floor when I told him this was only 3 dudes, playing with real instruments.
Right. I love that conversation in this: Is that two guys on Guitar? Nope, just one guy who really knows what he's doing.
Bill Ward. RARELY talked about as one of the Greats. He should be in EVERYONES TOP 10 drummers.
Before Bill Ward , most drummers where just keeping time. Just a steady 4-4 beat. Bill ward brought off time drumming, awesome fills, and a huge back beats to the rock world. That is what is giving you the head bobbing groove. Along with Geezer Butler playing awesome Bass that plays off the drums, and Toni Iommi blues filled heavy guitar riffs. And they are still using that same style today.
rottdog666 Baker, Bonham and Moon as well

I actually never listened to a Black Sabbath song before and right off the bat the drums and the guitar are killer and then you add the vocals its over with. This is great.
I have watched this a few times over the past three years, and I just noticed you say 100,000 subscribers... then I looked down and saw you have over 1 Million now! Very happy for you both!
I been gone from you two dudes for a minute, now I’m back . I can’t describe how much I enjoy watching you guys get off to the music that was and is so much a part of my life . Man . Nothing more . Just keep doing it . I ever see you in Vegas , you won’t be paying for drinks !!
Bill Ward is an under-rated awesome drummer. This song is a masterpiece. By The Godfather’s of Metal. Great video!!!
He reminds me of John Bonham. He beats the shit out his drums.
Gregory Krug agreed!
@@gregorykrug8034 yeah LOL I remember an old review from an LA show in 73 where the newspaper guy said Bonham beat those drums like they knocked up his sister... LOL. Pax.
Bill Ward is a decent drummer, but he's actually overrated. Just because someone hits the drums really hard does not mean they are a skilled drummer.
Banished From The Dwarf Planet you know nothing
Black Sabbath was originally named Earth and was a three piece blues band. Ozzy joined on vocals later. One day they saw a movie billboard for a horror movie titled Black Sabbath with Boris Karloff. Bassist Gezzer Butler realized people pay money to get scared. Why not scare them with music? Hence the birth of Black Sabbath and Heavy Metal.
Vocals: Ozzy
Guitar and music writer left handed motherfucking genius Tony Iommi
Bass and lyric master Gezzer Butler
Drums and Ozzy wrangler Bill Ward
Great review guys!!
Here's an odd fact (from Tony Iommi's autobiography "Iron Man") - Tony, the guitar player, had the tiips of his fingers amputated in an accident and has to wear a prosthetic in order to strum the guitar.
For those who've never heard Earth, their recordings are worth tracking down - they do sound a lot like long-lost Black Sabbath songs.
He had 2 of the fingertips of his right hand amputated, to be more specific.
I love the guys thought it was a duel lead guitar when it's just Tony, The Lone Gunman!
This is fantastic. Two people listen to a song that is older than they are and instantly find out how good it is. Just amazing how you see and hear the meaning behind the lyrics, the sound's.
You guys are such fun - I'm glad you are enjoying Sabbath
Guys, you probably know it already, but that song was against Vietnam War (1970).
Actually, it was supposed to be the title track of the whole album.... but a few hours before recording the album, the producer told them that such a name might get censored and shit... and so they had to find another name.
Conclusion ? They gathered and wrote « Paranoid » in just a couple of hours, and made it the title track.
Today, it's simply one of the greatest metal songs EVER.
War Pigs - Some of my favorite lyrics of any song ever (and The Rolling Stones are my fave band).
What's truly astounding is how many people think it's a song that glorifies Satan and devil worship solely based on the line "Satan laughing spreads his wings." All ya can do is
ask....'Did ya happen to catch ANY of the other lyrics!?!
@@chrismiller3416 The message of the entire song is ignored way too often. There are an alarming number of war glorifying fans of a song calling the military industrial complex and its leaders evil.
Original title of this song was ''Walpurgis' a satanic holiday
@@chrismiller3416 The original lyrics were very 'satanic' or scary and nothing to do with anti-war themes. See www.stlyrics.com/songs/b/blacksabbath551/warpigsalternative599775.html If you view the live Paris 1970 clip th-cam.com/video/_vKH0E2NNxs/w-d-xo.html , which is absolutely incredible, Ozzy sings those lyrics.
Ryan's enthusiasm is infectious
1 of the best and one of my favourite reactions you guys have done pure class, even 4 years later
Always nice to see someone experience Sabbath for the first time.
yeah, isn't it?
this song is just as relevant today as it was when they made it, don't ya think ?????
thanks to internet
@@jackeer100 and politicians, and the political landscape into which they have gotten us into over the years...
John Stewart It has always been relevant
War is always relevant
@@vitordarksider I agree, sad but true???
"Rusty cage" by Soundgarden
"I'm broken" by Pantera
"YYZ" by Rush
All really groove based songs.
Also "N.I.B." for another Sabbath song that's groovy with amazing riffs.
They need to hear Soundgarden
Send them for we're gonna grove from led zeppelin
Yes
Yeah Dude! I hope they react/review all those artist a few times each!
You've watched a few more Black Sabbath since this one, but I always come back to this. You're reaction is fantastic and the start of a love for Sabbath.
You guys are always on point and love the reactions. Thank you guys for respecting the artistry in music and talent in the members of the band. You guys rock!!!
Honestly War Pigs is one of my all time favorite songs. Everything is so good on this song, drumming is insane, the guitar perfectly captures the feel of the song, bass is amazing, vocals and lyrics are powerful, and the ending solo is one of my favorite solos of all time. It's such a well made song and objectively good. There really isn't anything to criticize here.
Currently Dark Link agreed
@Chris Paul
Hey Chris, check "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", by them. Shows Ozzy could actually sing! We miss you here in L.A.
Yeah it’s so bloody flawless
Yeah, believe or not my Dad first played the song for me when I was 5 years old and I was instantly hooked
The bass player Geezer Butler wrote most of Black Sabbath's lyrics.
Agree and no credit to the great music he offered to the world! Geezer Butler RULES!
Ozzy added his touches now and then.
@ he’s the reason why I started playing bass
When I saw them in Adelaide in 1971 Geezer was brilliant on stage. Tony just stood there and Geezer and Ozzy were off! Bill just set down the beat. Brilliant time to be around!
“It’s just a masterpiece, man.”
