Yo Coach, it's true, the guitarist, Tony Iommi (the founding member) had his two middle fingertips sliced off in a factory accident. He ended up making up his own prosthetic fingertips using thimbles, melted plastic, and bits of an old leather jacket. He also put banjo strings on his guitar and loosened them to make it less painful to play, which gave him his signature sound and created the Heavy Metal genre. [Edit] While I"m at the top here, let me suggest Thank God For The Bomb by Ozzy Osbourne, if you can sneak by the copyright heathens
11bulletcatcher yeah and in that factory accident his fingers were crushed by a slab of heavy metal, which is where the name comes from because this forced him to change his sound.
I read somewhere that he discovered the whole moving power chord idea that became the basis for his sound by watching Johnny Lee Hooker use the technique sparingly in his blues playing.
@@Blackgold1155 Indeed, except for that last part " Heavy Metal" doesn't really have a real origin point for the term. It showed up in reviews, song titles, car anf motorcycle euphemisms, etc.
The manager from the factory where Tony had his accident gave him a Django Reinhardt record for inspiration. Reinhardt also had injuries to his fretting hand and could only use two fingers.
Iommi lost the tips of his middle and Index fingers on rt hand at 17 due to an accident inthe sheet metal shop he worked in on his already planned LAST day
Lucky me, that I had the chance to see black sabbath live (before they finished). It was like a bright light stood above him, such an awesome performance, one of the greatest guitarist I have ever seen!!
LMAO Coach. My parents would blast Black Sabbath to wake me in the morning for elementary. They also woke me with Iron Maiden, Dolly Parton, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, ACDC, Conway Twitty, Micheal Jackson, Queen, Tammy Wynett, Goerge Jones, Dr. Hook, Bon Jovi, the Statler Brothers, Opera like Carmen (my personal fav. Opera), Abba, Janice Joplin, Buddy Holly, Bob Marley, U2, Billie Idle, Beethoven (my fav. is his 5th piano concerto, not symphony, which is great, but the 5th piano concerto.), and so very very many others. My parents had an eclectic taste in music that they fostered that in me. Anyone looking at my playlist would think I was bi-polar or a multiple personality. They taught me that every genre of music has it's epic songs and legendary artists as well as some duds. Never decide that you dislike a genre because of a few songs. I am loving watching you learn the truth of music. It transcends race and culture. Music speaks to the soul. Souls don't care about race or religion. Souls identify beauty in all forms. As does music.
YES COACH! Dio - Last in Line Lyrics or Live at the spectrum! or Rainbow - Stargazer! DIO MEANS GOD MY GUY! so excited Ive been requesting Dio for a long time, like almost every damn metal reaction.
It's absolutely impressive that you knew what you did about Dio replacing Ozzy, how good he was in comparison, the shoes he had to fill & what this meant to the Metal/Rock scene. You do your homework & understand, it is noticed and appreciated!
Guitarist name Tony Iommi, He lost two finger tips before he became a pro player! has two fake finger tips and the dude is killer! The Godfather of metal I say!
If you want you more Ronnie James Dio, check out Stargazer and Man On The Silver Mountain by Rainbow, and We Rock and Holy Diver by "Dio." Especially Holy Diver.
Just got done watching your Fade to Black reaction. Lets get Shaq to finally listen to a pure instrumental of emotion. ORION! "Metal is just pure emotion", and that song is as pure as it gets from Metallica. No words, just feel it in your soul.
You crack me up, man.....love your reactions. So glad you're doing metal. You should do Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots. It's one of the older one's with Ozzy.
Absolutely LOVE your reactions. I come here for validation that the music I love isn't just in my head and that it actually reaches others. Keep it up. No pressure!
If you want to listen to by far the best song ever sung by Dio you should react to "Stargazer" by Rainbow, the album version. Ultra pipes and great guitar, you'll love it
@@garnetbezanson1404 A band called Elf. Their debut from 1972. Plays bass & goes by the name Ronnie Padavona. Another interesting little side note , before Elf they were the electric elves & covered war pigs. I believe its up on TH-cam somewhere .
A couple old school songs that meant a lot to me back in my military days were HELLOWEEN's "I Want Out" ( talk about a vocalist holding a note! MINDBLOWING!) and METAL CHURCH's "Badlands" (I would blast that in my walkman in IRAQ during DESERT STORM) Good stuff!
Ozzy era sabbath made the better, most loved music, but Dio was the better singer.. Ozzy is a great vocalist and front man, but RJD definitely had better pipes.
I love Black Sabbath and I've seen several videos in your channel of you reacting to metal songs and Heaven and Hell is and Anthem... Nice video, Horns Up from El Salvador.
Coach! You setting TH-cam on fire with your musical diversity.... appreciating the metal stuff. And yes there’s very few singers like Ronnie James Dio, I personally believe he’s up there with the likes of the late and very great Freddy Mercury.
Shaq, it warm’s an old man’s heart to see a young man discover and appreciate magnificent metal music. Try AC/DC ‘74 Jailbreak with Bon Scott. Rock on dude 🤘🏻
Ozzy's era is the true Sabbath in my eyes but my God were they masterful with Dio just the same. Some of my absolute favorites from the Dio era are Falling Off the Edge of the World, I, The Mob Rules, Sign of the Southern Cross, Neon Knights, Children of the Sea and Die Young. 🤘
Great review Shaq, and you should keep the kids toys out. Makes us feel closer to the fam. You should give a listen to "In This River" by Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society) - Live in Paris. It's his tribute to Dimebag Darrell.
So glad you covered this Bro. One of my very favorite songs ever. It was a pleasure to see you discover this gem and appreciate it. The world is full of kings and queens Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams Those lines give me goose bumps all these long years since first hearing them. ASMR before there was ASMR....
What a truly magical time it was, i was 14 and nobody knew what Black Sabbathwould be like with the new singer...it took metal to a whole new level. Right around the same time ac-dc came out with Back in Black. I remember taking bong hits of Colombian gold listening to this stuff and just being blown away by it. Black Sabbath including Ozzy and all of the other singers and players were the creators of great masterpieces such as this. Long live rock & roll, rest in peace Ronnie
I love how you react to songs I have been listening to for decades. You bring a fresh perspective to what I stopped hearing when I listened to this and much more. I love it! Thank you for doing this honestly. It is really cool.
While working in a factory as a teenager, Iommi lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers of his right hand in an accident, an event which crucially affected his playing style. talk about a true life example of this songs meaning. Hell took his finger tips and heaven made him one of rocks most notable guitar players in rocks biggest band ever. Black Sabbath is pretty much known to have the best rhythm sections ever. Your love for music is great man, makes for great reactions.
@@dekudude8888 it really is. It's so incredibly inspiring and those people sets an good remodel for people who think they can't realise their full potential or goals because of a disability
It's truly rotten luck to be a drummer but lose an arm, however he pulled through - the best part is that he had great supportive bandmates who didn't let him go even though they had a valid reason to. Huge respect to Def Leppard.
I think the two best things about this great guy is watching him grooving to a song that kicked my ass when I was 13 years old (I'm 52), plus he reawakens my appreciation of a song I've known so long but kind of set aside over the years. Not forgetting it, just not listening like I used to. Breaking out my Sabbath Dio era albums now!
Not many rock songs where the lyrics make your face melt but this is one of them (it’s normally the solo that melts your face). “The world is full of Kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams.” BAR!
Ozzy was on so much shit that he needed to get an intervention. Partly why Sabbath split with him. He went solo and his brain fried a bit after all the drugs. Love or hate Sharon, her management and organization was one of the only thing keeping him on track. The bat issue only occurred cause he had no idea wtf it was and yolo bit on it.
It's the same damn thing... Let go, removed, went different ways. Either way, Tony,nor the rest of the band wanted to keep working with him; a dude so drugged out and going down such a spiral that it drug down the music, the band and directly affected their live performances. Again, speaking on a professional level, there was never much hate between the bandmates. You do realize no one disagreed with you, right?
so much respect for you man your a real dude who is just reacting to videos. your an inspiration to so many man keep it up. hope to see nothing but success
This guy is like a breath of fresh air!! Authentic, thoughtful, open mind, and imo his reaction vids - a lot more important than we know right now. But we don't HAVE to know, because they are so enjoyable NOW! As a lifelong rock fan, how can you not love this?!?
I’m sorry man but your videos just make me feel good. The way you act when you’re listening to the songs for the first time is the way me and my friends acted when we listen to the songs the first time Wayback in the 70s the excitement is real the appreciation is real you are real and it just feels good man
CHALLENGE Right, so I see a few comments down here looking for s and m metallica. Coach, my challenge to you is as follows: 1)DO NOT RESEARCH WHAT S AND M IS It is vital we (Nolifegang) see your reaction when you see on screen what it is. I'll confirm, to save to doubting this, that s and m is the real awesome metallica AND it is live. I won't say anymore on the topic of s and m. COMMENTERS BELOW DON'T say what it is. 2) Next cavet is there's two songs to react too, but they must be in the one video ie. At the end of the first reaction get straight to the second... You get my drift. See I need your adrenaline sky high for the second one. The two songs you must react two whilst obeying the two above rules are: Metallica S and M live - No Leaf Clover Metallica S and M live - Battery No Life Gang, y'all got two things to do, don't mention below what s and m is AND UPVOTE THE SHIT OUT OF THIS SO SHAQ HEARS US!!!!
I saw your reaction to Steel Panther & I was hooked!! Coming from a former metal musician & will always be a metal fan, I can be your man when it comes to what you need to know about this genre!!
Shaq, I can't believe no one mentioned Slayer... You should do a reaction about Slayer, Seasons In The Abyss. Awesome job with these reactions, keep'em coming
Ronnie James Dio was an awesome story teller. He was a great teacher of human behavior. And an awesome human being. One of the best singers of rock and roll and metal ever !
At the age of 17, Iommi lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers of his right hand in an industrial accident on his last day of work in a sheet metal factory. ... After the injury Iommi considered abandoning the guitar entirely.
Any of the metal suggestions in the comments are great! My suggestions are Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here and the cover of this song by Avenged Sevenfold! Both back to back!!
" Heaven and Hell " was released back in 1980. From " Neon Knights " to the ending crescendos of " Lonely Is the Word ", You will be as hard - pressed to pry yourself away from your headphones as I was when I first heard this album when it was first released when I was a preteen in school. Hearing this song echoing down the hall from those hallowed ghetto blasters when Tony hit those descending notes on his guitar was nothing short of an ear - bleeding masterpiece. Now, I just crank it up past 11 on my machine into my headphones whenever I feel the need for real metal. As a Sabbath fan, Check out Black Sabbath's live shows for their farewell tour, " The End ". They perform all of their Ozzy - era classic tunes, Including " War Pigs ", In their shows. They started the tour in Omaha, Nebraska back in February 2017. They ended their metal careers in the place where it all started... Birmingham, England ( 2018 ). Their best gig , In my opinion, Was in Moscow in 2017. Though Dio had better pipes than Ozzy, No one could ever do a live gig better than Ozzy. As a closer, Check out their last full length studio album, Simply entitled, " 13 " ( 2013 ). Listen to the song, " End Of The Beginning ". The lyrics of that song are as relevant today as they lyrics of " War Pigs " was when it was first released back in 1971. In fact, I challenge you to put the stories of those two songs together in your reaction. May God totally and richly bless you on your discoveries of your new found metal journey. P.S.: Bill Ward - Drums Terrence " Geezer " Butler - Bass Tony Iommi - Guitar Ronnie James Dio ( 1980 - 1982 ): Vocals

@@Blackgold1155 Great story... but completely false. AFAIK, the term 'heavy metal' comes from the song 'Born To Be Wild'.
The manager from the factory where Tony had his accident gave him a Django Reinhardt record for inspiration. Reinhardt also had injuries to his fretting hand and could only use two fingers.
Ronnie James was the iconic metal voice. An amazing man. He took metal to a whole new level This song here is amazing.
Bruce too!
Rob halford also mate
"How the hell you playing guitar with no fingertips?!" Perfect

Dat is tuff my guy!
Iommi lost the tips of his middle and Index fingers on rt hand at 17 due to an accident inthe sheet metal shop he worked in on his already planned LAST day
In all honesty he put thimbles ocer his fingers so he can play
The first comment on every rock/metal post is pure gold. All the best of his many funny sayings from that review.
This song just hits every time and gives me chills. One of my favourites of all time.
Tony Iommi is literally a riff God....its second nature to him.
Lucky me, that I had the chance to see black sabbath live (before they finished). It was like a bright light stood above him, such an awesome performance, one of the greatest guitarist I have ever seen!!

CommanderCody1 if been putting Orion on every video he puts let’s hope he will do it soon 🤘🏻
I agree with this
Dio was classically trained! He's like 5'2" and sings like a metal angel!
That song was recorded 40 years ago. Still amazing today.
Love your reactions. Dio's impact on music was unreal. He made a lot of heavy metal more lyrical, and we lost a giant when he passed.

Black Sabbath "Heaven & Hell" 1980 (I was 13) One of the first 3 albums as a kid I bought with my own money AND To this day still a all time favorite
Long Live Dio , Ozzy and Dio were both great in Black Sabbath.
Hope Ozzy is all right. With everything going on with him scary..
Yes 2 legends
I've also grown to like Born Again with Gillan, people keep ignoring that (and the Tony Martin albums which are generally pretty good too).
You shoukd react to Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath of the album Black Sabbath. Just saying.
Yh Then he can black sabbath his black sabbath to black sabbath on a black sabbath
My favorite!

Ozzy's era is the true Sabbath in my eyes but my God were they masterful with Dio just the same. Some of my absolute favorites from the Dio era are Falling Off the Edge of the World, I, The Mob Rules, Sign of the Southern Cross, Neon Knights, Children of the Sea and Die Young. 🤘
Mob Rules is so good!
Great review Shaq, and you should keep the kids toys out. Makes us feel closer to the fam. You should give a listen to "In This River" by Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society) - Live in Paris. It's his tribute to Dimebag Darrell.

you gotta check out Rainbow-Stargazer. Dio's best vocal performance.
you act like Dio never sang "Love Is All" back in 74. He was making cartoons metal before rainbow hit it off
Automatic like for anything Dio-related. He was my intro to Metal and for that holds a special place for me.

Well, first he quit, then he came back, recorded Never Say Die, and was immediatly fired afterwards.

Love when people discover tru meaningfulness of the song. Look at the big picture and you’ll understand metal and rock, as the same with all music!
Thanks God you let. the song plays till the end... the end is beautiful!
Dio has a voice that I can only describe as Royal. It just sounds like a king giving a speech in front of soldiers

It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on...
Keep em coming! I love watching your reactions to all this good music! Ya got a new sub 😍
CHALLENGE
Right, so I see a few comments down here looking for s and m metallica. Coach, my challenge to you is as follows:
1)DO NOT RESEARCH WHAT S AND M IS
It is vital we (Nolifegang) see your reaction when you see on screen what it is. I'll confirm, to save to doubting this, that s and m is the real awesome metallica AND it is live. I won't say anymore on the topic of s and m. COMMENTERS BELOW DON'T say what it is.
2) Next cavet is there's two songs to react too, but they must be in the one video ie. At the end of the first reaction get straight to the second... You get my drift. See I need your adrenaline sky high for the second one.
The two songs you must react two whilst obeying the two above rules are:
Metallica S and M live - No Leaf Clover
Metallica S and M live - Battery
No Life Gang, y'all got two things to do, don't mention below what s and m is AND UPVOTE THE SHIT OUT OF THIS SO SHAQ HEARS US!!!!
I would have to say Ozzy made Black Sabbath and Ozzy is #1 artist but Dio did a wonderful job but didn't last long. Ozzy is kickass!!!
River Dreamwalker agree
Agreed Ozzy did make Black Sabbath and Randy was an awesome Guitarist
My dog is named after Black Sabbath's bass player, Geezer Buttler.
After R J D passed, Bruce gave him a shout out at a Maiden concert in France. Also learned that Dio was one of Bruce's vocal coaches
I saw your reaction to Steel Panther & I was hooked!! Coming from a former metal musician & will always be a metal fan, I can be your man when it comes to what you need to know about this genre!!
RJD the man who profound devils horn 🤘king of Metal ❤️❤️❤️
That symbol is the devil's eye. It's an ancient symbol
All concerts before the Horn were way better.
Its time to do some Judas Priest, Coach ! Victim of Changes live Unleashed in the East
> Unleashed in the East
Has my favorite version of 'Green Manalishi'
Shaq, I can't believe no one mentioned Slayer... You should do a reaction about Slayer, Seasons In The Abyss.
Awesome job with these reactions, keep'em coming
Slayer is over rated
I second Seasons of the Abyss!
Ronnie James Dio was an awesome story teller. He was a great teacher of human behavior. And an awesome human being. One of the best singers of rock and roll and metal ever !
Black sabbath is n always will b my favorite band
GOD Bless Ronnie James DIo
Do Stargazer from Rainbow (Dio song) .
One of the most epic songs ever.
Tony Iommi made fingertips out of cork and relearned the guitar. Legendary
Tony Jimmie lost his fingers on his last day of work in a factory. So he made finger extension to play guitar.
At the age of 17, Iommi lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers of his right hand in an industrial accident on his last day of work in a sheet metal factory. ... After the injury Iommi considered abandoning the guitar entirely.
"Fairies Wear Boots" -- Bill Ward runs the song from his drums ... Paranoid was the first album I bought at age 9 !!
The best sabbath song by quite a mile.
Thanks for this. You are so interesting and really get it! "Hold up. Why we got angels smokin' backwoods here?" LMAO!!
Any of the metal suggestions in the comments are great!
My suggestions are Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here and the cover of this song by Avenged Sevenfold! Both back to back!!
Do 'Black Sabbath'
You'll be scared to turn around.
OH, 'Sweet Leaf' too
Please react to Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live at Waken 2013
i haven't even seen this reaction and i already know i will like it this is one of the greatest rock songs of all time good one coach
" Heaven and Hell " was released back in 1980.
From " Neon Knights " to the ending crescendos of " Lonely Is the Word ",
You will be as hard - pressed to pry yourself away from your headphones as I was when I first heard this album when it was first released when I was a preteen in school.
Hearing this song echoing down the hall from those hallowed ghetto blasters when Tony hit those descending notes on his guitar was nothing short of an ear - bleeding masterpiece.
Now, I just crank it up past 11 on my machine into my headphones whenever I feel the need for real metal.
As a Sabbath fan,
Check out Black Sabbath's live shows for their farewell tour, " The End ".
They perform all of their Ozzy - era classic tunes,
Including " War Pigs ",
In their shows.
They started the tour in Omaha, Nebraska back in February 2017.
They ended their metal careers in the place where it all started...
Birmingham, England ( 2018 ).
Their best gig ,
In my opinion,
Was in Moscow in 2017.
Though Dio had better pipes than Ozzy,
No one could ever do a live gig better than Ozzy.
As a closer,
Check out their last full length studio album,
Simply entitled,
" 13 " ( 2013 ).
Listen to the song,
" End Of The Beginning ".
The lyrics of that song are as relevant today as they lyrics of " War Pigs " was when it was first released back in 1971.
In fact,
I challenge you to put the stories of those two songs together in your reaction.
May God totally and richly bless you on your discoveries of your new found metal journey.
P.S.: Bill Ward - Drums
Terrence " Geezer " Butler - Bass
Tony Iommi - Guitar
Ronnie James Dio ( 1980 - 1982 ): Vocals
