RICK KLINGER Even if the meanings are differents they still rhymed with identical words... Besides this is an old joke about Sabbath lyrics anyways. Usually language teachers appreciate language humor 😂
Yeah Rick, I'm sorry that you teach English too. I don't care if you're an English prof at Oxford it's the same spelling and sound when spoken as a rhyming couplet. So get the fuck over it, Ozzy rhymed masses and masses. Nobody said they had the same definition. That's pedantry mixed with sophistry pal. NachoFast said it was a rhyming issue, not a definition issue. Step away from the straw man.
They didn't invent it, but they perfected it!!! And atleast Iron Maiden and Metallica actually spoke out about indeed being influenced by Black Sabbath. Corey Taylor sayd that "..any band of the past 35 years say they are NOT influenced by Black Sabbath, are fucking liars! "..later on he said.. Rate my top 5 Metal Albums ever? "The first five Black Sabbath Albums !!!! "
its Black Sabbath Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple for bandnames, and Led Zeppelin is NOT Metal, in fact 90% of their ouvre is accoustic, but their live prescence made them big. The frst true Stadiumrockers.
I actually believe Johnny Cash was the original metal. Distort the guitars and speed it up slightly and it's metal af. He's a man dresses in black singing about drugs and violence with triplets and solos throughout. His voice was low like in metal. He just had only country to base it off of so it has that vibe and classification. Johnny Cash is where metal began. Sabbath created a conflagration from the spark. That's what I believe anyways. Ozzy is in his own league though.
@@burningstar1793 Wrong, Johny Cash was actually a mix of country and blues, but had some rock combined too . (Or at least some beta version) Rock's roots actually go far as back as the 40's, 30's, and even the 20's ! The invention of electric guitars and distortion heavily contributed to the evolution of rock . Rock turned into the rock we know today during the 70's and 80's . The Beatles and many more contributed to the formation of popular music and rock as we know it . Sorry about this. I'm kinda a music nerd.
Remember dude, this song was from Sabbath’s album “Paranoid”, which was released in 1970. 19fucking70! It was absolutely revolutionary for rock music at the time.
Can you imagine what it was like to put the vinyl on the turn table and this is the first thing you hear and there is nothing else like it to compare to? It had to have been absolutely mind blowing!
Totally agree. I think its bc Sabbath wasn't/isn't heavy metal, rather the godfathers of it. Black Sabbath is 100% rock and roll. Please dont take any disrespect/hostility in this reply. I liked your comment and thought I'd give a counter point ✌
This is example #1 of just how much of a master of the guitar riff that Tony Iommi is. Go back and pay attention to the bass and you'll realize just how SICK Geezer Butler is at his craft. You mentioned it, Bill Ward, a beast on the drums. Hell of a combination, especially when you add Ozzy's vocal delivery. But def give props to Geezer, in my opinion, the best bassist in metal.
Thrasterpiece Without Geezer, there probably would not be a Cliff Burton. He set the table for what a metal bassist is supposed to sound like. No question though, Cliff is among the best, but it's hard for me to put the student ahead of the teacher.
Also, fun fact: guitarist Toni Iommi had the tips of two of his fingers sliced off in a factory incident (I believe index and middle) so his jams and solos come with a handicap.
on the last day of work as they had just been signed, he had to relearn and use tape around the tops of those fingers to this day. if you search out an interview on it he was like fuck get signed then never be able to play again fuck that!
He tuned his guitar way down to stop the pressure on his fingers, which created the deep roar later called metal by those listening. He melted and custom fit plastic bottles over his fingertips to ease the pain as well. Even used banjo strings at times to ease it.
My favorite Black Sabbath song. Saw them for the first time when I was 14 and now I'm 63. Amazing 50 year old message that's still relevant and true today. You get it--great reaction Alex!
Or the crazy genocidal madmen, Islamic supremecists, and communists who have started 99% of the war in Earth's history, and others have to step in and stop them before the world becomes a hellish dystopia. Probably those guys.Yeah, greedy politicians start the wars... Naïve lyrics, but a musically great song.
The majority of the music you post I’ve listened to for years but I never took the time to research what it’s about so the fact that you make great content and teach us about the music we’ve listened to makes us appreciate the music more Thank You.
Fun fact about Sabbath: The US blasted rock music like Sabbath in Panama under Manuel Noriega. Noriega was an opera lover so this was obviously irritating him and after 10 or so days he gave up to the US.
Not the first ones to do that. In Afghanistan, they used to blast Motorhead from the tanks to scare talibans. I'm pretty sure Lemmy would have hated it too.
@@mdwb7024 I wouldn't even go that far, you know there's that whole trumpets at the walls of Jericho thing. In fact I'd wager that the tactic is as old as war itself.
Dude, watch the video of the band actually playing their music. You need to see Bill kill the drums and how come nobody points out the bassist!!! Geezer is phenomenal ❤️ and yes this is metal baybayyyyy
I am telling you- I saw Black Sabbath reunited in 2001 on the OzzFest, and had NO clue what Geezer what really about, until I saw him play live!! Holy shit!!
Before Hendrix released it, Dylan heard him play AAtW live in New York. The first thing he said afterwards was "it's his song now." But yeah, every time I hear War Pigs, I'm struck by how similar the instrumentals are to Jimi Hendrix' style. Sabbath distinguished themselves with lyrics, and basically developed Metal as we know it along the way, but instrumentally they started out sounding a *lot* like the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
El Bruce Yeah, I don't think Dylan played it for around 25years after that. Not that he was bitter, more of what you said, a kinda, 'Well clearly must have written this for Jimi.'
Pretty much in the modern history of music, there are only two perfect examples of a creator happily gifting a song to a cover artist based solely on recognition of their talent with that song: 1) Dylan handing "Watchtower" over to Jimi, and 2) Trent Reznor handing "Hurt" over to Johnny Cash.
Just the intro is foreboding, I was 12 when this came out, album centre was a spinout, great teenager music. I was so lucky, Pink Floyd, Sabbath, Zepplin, Bowie and the list goes on and on, golden age of music. The UK is responsible for so much great music
@@bearculb7717 The best part about Tony Iommi missing two fingers is that it happened on his last day working at the sheet metal factory where he worked before the band began to tour professionally.
I heard that in an interview he did. He was going to skip going back after lunch and his mom said he needed to finish what he started or something like that so he went back to finish his shift.
Some of the most badass lyrics ever imo "Day of judgment God is calling, on their knees the war pigs crawling, begging mercy for their sins, Satan laughing spreads his wings"
I've been binge watching your vids all morning and was literally just thinking I wish you'd react to War Pigs because it's my favorite Sabbath song... and 20 minutes later I see this pop up in the recommended videos right after I subscribed. I'm so happy right now lol. So, since I'm commenting on a video and literally never do that on TH-cam, I gotta add my suggestion while I'm here... pleeeeease do Vermillion Pt. 1 & 2 by Slipknot (preferably in the same vid because they go together), and/or Snuff, that one's amazing too. And the videos for all three are incredible. You're awesome. That is all.
Never have seen a reaction video before. But for 3 weeks now I look everyday to see what you are doing that day. You make it fun, never stop and have a dope ass day!!
I love the fact that you appreciate a classic like this. They really were the front men to heavy metal. Not a lot of younger people can appreciate a classic like this song. Keep doing you. By far one of my favorite reaction guys I'm subscribed to.
omg you totally made my weekend with this! Kicking it old school!! I can't even properly express how amazing it has been to take this Metal Journey with you. I will never again experience my first time hearing these old school metal songs, but watching you react gets pretty damn close. Hits me right in the feels! And I've also discovered some amazing new bands right along with you. You're like the really cool cousin who always comes to the birthday party and makes everyone laugh and feel so good. Thank you for that!! You keep on rocking, I'll keep on watching. xo
Miguel Monteiro I love Randy Rhodes and his guitar work. He is probably the main reason I love Crazy Train by Ozzy and Mr Crowley as well. Plus I do believe that he is one of the original members of the heavy metal band Quite Riot. I think but I’m not sure. Because I am usually not fully positive until I look it up.
without question my least favorite Zeppelin tune. So repetitive and boring in my opinion. I love Zep, but that song bores that crap out of me. The station gets changed if it comes on the radio. If you're going to do Zeppelin, there are so many better songs to review.
Fit For An Autopsy - Black Mammoth Deathcore done right! Incredible song with a big message! Highly recommend checking it out just because of the message! Animals As Leaders - The Brain Dance It’s a 3 man instrumental band, they’re all absolute fantastic musicians! The song is beautiful, would recommend the 7 min version.
I listen to this song every day. First song I ever learned on guitar. Each time I listen to it, I focus on something different. One day the drums, one day the bass, one day the guitar, one day the vocals, one day the meaning. It's just a masterpiece
I thought id never like reaction video until I stulmbed across your page some how. Now im hooled i love your opions about the music your discovering and being so opend minded for it and showing positive light to rock abf metal ga era of music. when most people sneer at it unless your a fan yourself. props for you to spreading the positive to different types of music diversaity.
Boy this song brings back memories. This is one of the songs that really got me into metal along with fear of the dark by iron maiden. The instrumental in this song is so unique and random, it's what I really love about the song. Also the lyrics are very powerful. Great song.
Love watching your reactions...always puts a smile on my face! Classic Sabbath at it's best! The entire Paranoid album rocks; Fairies Wear Boots... Nice Job; Cheers
This is one of those songs (and bands) that really inspired me to pick up the guitar and expand my musical experience. Such an amazing song! I’m very happy to see you experiencing the forefathers of metal! It reminds me a lot of myself when I was first listening to hard rock and metal bands! Love the vids, Alex. Keep em coming! P.S. Please react to some damn Erra already bruh! Do either Drift, The Hypnotist, or Hybrid Earth. Been waiting for it forever!
Was 8 yrs old when this album came out and heard it from one of my friend's brother. Saved my chore money for months to make it the first record I bought (lotta saving since ten cents a week wasn't a lot, even then!). Remains one of the most cherished records I own and am so happy to see that it still resonates strongly with "the new generations." A masterpiece.
Btw, this is my favorite Black Sabbath song, however I have not heard their entire discography, which is a shame... thanks for the video. So happy to see how much u enjoyed it.
You get so used to a song being a "metal classic" (which this certainly is) that you don't realise that it actually does have some very funky parts, and exceptionally jazzy drumming. Not just wall-to-wall metal. Iommi's guitar parts sound like the end of the world though. Amazing.
Such a great song, I feel that Metal, more than a lot of other styles of music does such a good job about actually covering important topics and telling a story. If you are looking for another classic metal experiance a definate must listen to imo is King Diamond. I'm also waiting on a Pink Floyd reaction. Keep it up dude, you got the best reactions on the internet.
song still completely relevant. US military spending still insanely high - trillions of dollars spent bombing a 3rd world desert. Military lobby the largest lobby group in the US, and so the war machine keeps churning.
Exactly. All those death merchants! Not only USA , also france, china mainland, russia, Brittain, german....check out Vice's coverage of Lebanon annual Weapon Expo ...oh sorry "Defense " expo 😡 War Pigs! If half those fund to create those weapons used in cancer research, Space or Forest coservations!!!
i was 11 years old when i was introduced to sabbath, never looked back , Toni actually cut his speaker in his amp to get that grunge distortion that wasnt around yet. this band for sure paved the way to the heavy metal we hear today, btw: this is only a 3 piece band, so yeah, their music jsut made sense.
i have some suggestions: Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover (live version) Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand Iron Maiden - Afraid to shoot strangers Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb, Echoes...
I'm from India I never comment because even if I win a dope ass T's I don't want you to face any problems with shipping, anyway love you Alex your videos are great
I saw Black Sabbath in Calgary for The End tour. When they played this song Ozzy sang a line then pointed the mic at the crowd and i swear everyone in the Saddledome sang the next line almost perfectly. It gives me goosebumps every time i think about it.
The only "heavy metal" when this came out was called Cadillac. That being said, when asked for my opinion on the best song ever in my generation this one has topped the list not only for the "musicality" but the message. Satan laughing...spread his wings.
Well-meaning suggestion: These fan made videos are more distracting than anything, sometimes even detracting from the song. Please try to find a lyrics video if the official video isn't available. Or, I don't know, just put the static lyrics up there on the screen so we can follow along :) k, thanks, kisses
Agreed. Like when he says "oh shit" as the tank appears on screen at 8:03 or as they're about to beat that guy at 8:32. I'm like: "Dude, that has nothing to do with the song or the band. Focus on the music". I get that official videos are sometimes really bad (censored, shortened etc) Same thing can be said about fan-made lyric videos, which often contains bad spelling and wrong words. But there's always Spotify, Apple Music and similar streaming services which typically has the best versions. They also let you focus on the music itself (and if you need lyrics you can pull them up quite easily)
Only Black Sabbath can rhyme "masses" with "masses" and get away with it
in their defense they were using 2 different meanings.
It's two different words. I teach English...sorry.
RICK KLINGER Even if the meanings are differents they still rhymed with identical words... Besides this is an old joke about Sabbath lyrics anyways. Usually language teachers appreciate language humor 😂
No they aren't, they're the same word with different meanings.

agreed. Geezer Butler is the reason i started playing bass when i was a kid.
Tony Iommi wrote all the cool metal riffs before the ‘70s were over. Every metal guitarist after that is using him as a foundation.
I play bass because of Geezer (specifically the intro solo to NIB)
Also, fun fact: guitarist Toni Iommi had the tips of two of his fingers sliced off in a factory incident (I believe index and middle) so his jams and solos come with a handicap.
Hence the birth of heavy metal
on the last day of work as they had just been signed, he had to relearn and use tape around the tops of those fingers to this day. if you search out an interview on it he was like fuck get signed then never be able to play again fuck that!

He said in an interview that if it wasn't for that accident he would not have created the sound that he does
He taught himself to play again with those two missing tips of his digits. He never gave up.
I've heard this song 1000000x and it still gives me chills
This is one of my favourites by Black Sabbath of all time
Those drum fills are so good 😍

Now im hooled i love your opions about the music your discovering and being so opend minded for it and showing positive light to rock abf metal ga era of music. when most people sneer at it unless your a fan yourself. props for you to spreading the positive to different types of music diversaity.
The final solo is the most overlooked guitar solos of all time music.
A masterpiece... touchy tune that can bring tears to the eyes..
Boy this song brings back memories. This is one of the songs that really got me into metal along with fear of the dark by iron maiden. The instrumental in this song is so unique and random, it's what I really love about the song. Also the lyrics are very powerful. Great song.
Love watching your reactions...always puts a smile on my face! Classic Sabbath at it's best! The entire Paranoid album rocks; Fairies Wear Boots... Nice Job; Cheers
Ozzy and Black Sabbath the original headbangers!!!!
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
This is one of those songs (and bands) that really inspired me to pick up the guitar and expand my musical experience. Such an amazing song! I’m very happy to see you experiencing the forefathers of metal! It reminds me a lot of myself when I was first listening to hard rock and metal bands! Love the vids, Alex. Keep em coming!
P.S. Please react to some damn Erra already bruh! Do either Drift, The Hypnotist, or Hybrid Earth. Been waiting for it forever!
Hell yeah🤘🤘🤘
Erra is awesome! Don't like the clean vocals tho, bust still listen to them frequemtly
I learned to play listening to this album. Literally. You can hear the Tony Iommi in my playing even today.
Was 8 yrs old when this album came out and heard it from one of my friend's brother. Saved my chore money for months to make it the first record I bought (lotta saving since ten cents a week wasn't a lot, even then!). Remains one of the most cherished records I own and am so happy to see that it still resonates strongly with "the new generations." A masterpiece.
Deftones - Change (In the house of flies). Get it brah!
Btw, this is my favorite Black Sabbath song, however I have not heard their entire discography, which is a shame... thanks for the video. So happy to see how much u enjoyed it.
Mitchell Cambron In my opinion, even though I love the Ozzy and Dio era albums of Black Sabbath, the others are pretty underrated.
for me the laid back drumming is what pulls this whole track together, obviously everythig else is important too
The Four Horsemen - Metallica
This!!!
Hey Alex! What's up bro? War pigs is such an amazing song... but, where's the Rainbow - Stargazer react video?? I'm waiting for it braaaa 😎🤘
I used to listen to this on (gulp) 8-track in my 67 Mustang GT fastback circa 1971-72
Rooster by Alice In Chains
Now you’re digging on the Blizzard of Oz.....telling you dude......I can hear the horns growing!😈
You get so used to a song being a "metal classic" (which this certainly is) that you don't realise that it actually does have some very funky parts, and exceptionally jazzy drumming. Not just wall-to-wall metal. Iommi's guitar parts sound like the end of the world though. Amazing.
Yeah man these guys created the formula for metal but it was ultimately inspired by various different genres to create one new genre, classy asf
Blind Guardian - Valhalla Live, it's just incredible
Megadeth - Tornado of souls
When I saw this I was like YAAAASSSS. I grew up with this band and this song. Dude I'm a second generation metal head.
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Seen them perform this at their last ever concert, the whole venue was screaming along to that riff at 10:14, never had so many goosebumps in my life
Hell yeah
lolyeah One of the greatest guitar riffs in the history of music.
Robert D'Amico definitely!
One of the Greatest Sabbath songs ever, you always have to listen when it comes on great long jam tune
Black Sabbath - Behind the wall of sleep. That song is very bluesy and groovy, you are going to love it!!
Such a great song, I feel that Metal, more than a lot of other styles of music does such a good job about actually covering important topics and telling a story.
If you are looking for another classic metal experiance a definate must listen to imo is King Diamond. I'm also waiting on a Pink Floyd reaction.
Keep it up dude, you got the best reactions on the internet.
love bill wards drumming in this
I love this channel so much
song still completely relevant. US military spending still insanely high - trillions of dollars spent bombing a 3rd world desert. Military lobby the largest lobby group in the US, and so the war machine keeps churning.
Bro if you want another modern hitting ozzy song check out killer of giants
Exactly. All those death merchants! Not only USA , also france, china mainland, russia, Brittain, german....check out Vice's coverage of Lebanon annual Weapon Expo ...oh sorry "Defense " expo 😡
War Pigs! If half those fund to create those weapons used in cancer research, Space or Forest coservations!!!
AIPAC is the biggest lobby group in the U.S. The real war pigs..
Fathers of Heavy Metal Paranoid is by far, my favorite Black Sabbath album.
GODS of metal
This is the original Heavy Metal Song. BLACK SABBATH invented the genre.
Grew up on this- Classic genius
i was 11 years old when i was introduced to sabbath, never looked back , Toni actually cut his speaker in his amp to get that grunge distortion that wasnt around yet. this band for sure paved the way to the heavy metal we hear today,
btw: this is only a 3 piece band, so yeah, their music jsut made sense.
i have some suggestions:
Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover (live version)
Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand
Iron Maiden - Afraid to shoot strangers
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb, Echoes...
Lazar Ristic Nice taste.
Jorge Pereyra thanks bro
I'm from India I never comment because even if I win a dope ass T's I don't want you to face any problems with shipping, anyway love you Alex your videos are great
You're winning now
Im from india to braahh
I saw Black Sabbath in Calgary for The End tour. When they played this song Ozzy sang a line then pointed the mic at the crowd and i swear everyone in the Saddledome sang the next line almost perfectly. It gives me goosebumps every time i think about it.
Blind Guardian - Valhalla and The Bards song live at Wacken
this is one of their best message songs.
The only "heavy metal" when this came out was called Cadillac. That being said, when asked for my opinion on the best song ever in my generation this one has topped the list not only for the "musicality" but the message. Satan laughing...spread his wings.
War Pigs is a very old song... I believe it's from 1971.
So it sounds different because it's Black Sabbath...the originals of heavy metal! 🤘
Scott Laboch Sr not to be picky but its 1970 from album Paranoid
Tracy Rose 😂😂😂 its cool Tracy, thanks for the correction! 👍🤘😊
I knew it was either '70-'71.
Old maybe, bad, not even close.
1970
Come back to this in about a year from now, you will appreciate it even more
Yup this is one of my favorite songs from them. Ozzys voice is so good
May Rose u should check out Sahg, freekishly similar voice
A masterpiece. Iommi made something so heavy it influenced a generation.
DUDE YOU'RE ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST TUBER ON THIS CHANNEL ALSO THE VIDEO TELLS MORE OF A STORY THAN JUST THE AUDIO. JT FROM MEX
Well-meaning suggestion: These fan made videos are more distracting than anything, sometimes even detracting from the song. Please try to find a lyrics video if the official video isn't available. Or, I don't know, just put the static lyrics up there on the screen so we can follow along :)
k, thanks, kisses
Agreed. Like when he says "oh shit" as the tank appears on screen at 8:03 or as they're about to beat that guy at 8:32. I'm like: "Dude, that has nothing to do with the song or the band. Focus on the music". I get that official videos are sometimes really bad (censored, shortened etc) Same thing can be said about fan-made lyric videos, which often contains bad spelling and wrong words. But there's always Spotify, Apple Music and similar streaming services which typically has the best versions. They also let you focus on the music itself (and if you need lyrics you can pull them up quite easily)
Rickard Redgård u nailed it.hate a first time reaction and he picks a video made 45 years a
bruh never clicked so fast
What you're hearing is the birth of Metal and I'm so glad I was there to witness it. This is the first album I ever bought.
"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
A lyric from Linkin Park's "Hands Held High"
Bro got that backwards black Sabbath did it first.
@@alesiabradley5399 technically it is a quote from Sartre
React to black sabbath- NIB
I'm so glad you "got" that song! So unbelievably awesome. Still holds up and holds true, today.
This is a great one!! Next do Angel of Death by Slayer!!
Highway star by Deep Purple! Please!
Bloody oath!!
capoocha made in japan
My dad used to play that in his charger during drag races lol
Alex will lose his mind!
Child in Time by Deep Purple and then thank me later
