Seeing the emotional response you two had during this song actually brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry what you have been going through. Please stay safe. This world is so much better with you guys around. Peace to you.
@@glenchapman3899 Of course it's still relevant. Debatebly even more relevant today. The rate at which we are thrown disinformation and propaganda because of social media, has made it to where it is extremely easy to find your own little echo chamber, and brainwash yourself into a false reality. Which allows your to deamen or look down on those who don't 100% align with you. Any fringe idea has a home on the internet. Especially when we have people who profit off of others fears, hatred and ignorance. History is always doomed to repeast itself, just dressed a bit differently each generation. Though the internet has allowed some amazing things, like watching these two people react to music I grew up on, its also allows lies to propagate with almost impunity. It's even more difficult when the average person is flooded with information on a daily basis. Much more than even 20 years ago. And it seems the more information we have the less we utilize critical thinking skills. When wanting to, or feeling like you're right becomes more important than actually being right. I have realized a lot of people don't want or seek the truth. The simply seek whatever confirms their biases. It becomes frustrating, because it eliminates any chance of two opposing sides to have rational, based in reality conversations. Though it can make me feel nialisitic at times, its people like these two reacting that let me know there is still good in the world. Compassion and the pursuit of truth still exist. Because currently in my country of the USA, we are becoming more and more divided, to the benefit of people who don't care about us. Divided we fall, as we should. Unless we have some sort of meaningful change in how we communicate with one another. Ignorance is only bliss for the ignorant.
These guys all grew up in post WW2 England,which was ravaged by the bombings from Germany. This song is deeply rooted in their childhood trauma of playing, living and existing in bombed out neighborhoods. It's so heavy, so reverent. Please for the love God be safe.
@@Evilslayer73 But the guy who showed Toni how Django Reinhardt played guitar, after a serious accident made him go carry on, and he started using artificial fingertips. And the rest is history.
Yup. As a teen b drummer in the 70's me and my band played this. My younger brother sang lead and played guitar and hit all the links. My bass player was also my best friend from band in HS. WE played high schools and other venues.
While I like your take on the song you missed that last verse when Ozzie, the singer talks about the judgement of God in the lyrics as " Satin's laughing spreads his wings" because Satin knows that God judges world leaders much harsher than regular people so in the end the song shows justice in the spiritual world. Written in 1970 this is one of if not the best anti war sings ever written.
I don't care for this video as it is too distracting to the music, and too many reactors pay too much attention to it, and it has little to do with the song.
Thay are British band more to do with the second world war that generation was close to the generation fathers and mothers and grandad s who fought it's all anti war
My favorite band since I was 14 years old. Now 72 and still love them. In this day and age with the various music genres out there I sincerely thank you for reacting to this classic. Black Sabbath to many is the godfathers to heavy metal. This band Iommi, Osbourne, Ward, and Butler are all looked up to by just about every band of the past 50+ years. Thank you again for the reaction!!
They are the originators of heavy metal. While their earlier work doesn't sound as 'heavy' to modern ears, all 'metal' traces its roots back to Black Sabbath. In 1970, this sounded really heavy.
I was 15 when I went to my first Sabbath concert in 1973 , imagine the effect of a teenager back then . Still wear Sabbath T shirts today . In the summer I was blasting along in my boat with sunroof open blasting out Sabbath on the marine stereo

A timely song no matter what era we find ourselves in. We all know entirely too much about war. War has no place in our world. Great reaction and I truly feel for both of you. Thank you.
I would agree in regards to the live performances, but for those hearing this song for the first time, I think this is the best place to start. As it enhances the song as it brings the lyrics front and center, when you have kick-ass live performances, sometimes that may get lost in the musicianship(I normally can't focus on anything past Bill Ward killing those drums). LOL
Stay safe! This song is as important today as it was back then ... The "War Machine" is strong out there. We need people to listen and learn ... small steps help. I am a Veteran and while I was prepared to go to war ... I never wanted to. I know you two react to Ren ... in his tribute "Eden" he had three lines that struck me How many soldiers have been forced to fight in meaningless wars? How many humans have killed for ideals they don't believe in or understand? How many people have died to the greed of another man? Much Love ❤!
Black Sabbath are considered the 1st heavy metal band. They sound scary and dark but the lyrics are usually positive, yet a warning. Next maybe listen to "Children of the grave".
I love that you were touched by the lyrical & musical content of the song. So many younger people doing reactions seem confused by the longer & more complicated musical compositions of Rock & Metal, but the music, like a symphonic piece, tells the story every bit as much as the words (as in an opera, oratorio or Broadway musical). This is my favorite band & I saw them many times and Ozzy solo many times & they always played this song. They have many "classic" tunes, but this one still brings tears to my eyes & is the most fulfilling from their catalogue for me to play as a musician. You asked if this is "Metal": Black Sabbath are the Godfathers of Metal. May God bless you with peace & safety & lots more Metal!
I live it when young folks discover heavy metal..love your reaction..coming from a sabbath fan from 1970..check out heaven and hell as well by them..God bless
Thank you for your beautiful reaction! 7th october was the Black Sabbath, and this song made a huge difference in the world. Not stopping wars but telling people to make a difference between the leaders of a country and the people inside, some are accountable, most are not. As an example i have a friend playing in a metal band, he had to play in Israel before the war and had a lot of comments on it. But he and me both agreed that even how much you dislike some leaders, one should always support the people that love the music as they most likely disagree with the government. Those people actually needs the music more that those in a free country. I hope this song gave you the feeling of being supported by music, to get somewhat comfort from it, not all humans are evil! Even on the enemy side... Whatever comes in the near future, justice will come in the end! Even if it looks broken at the moment. ./hug
So good to see the two of you again. Hope that you are keeping one another calm and collected. ❤ Positive thoughts for remedy to the mess. Ty for reaction!
Just as information for "younger folks" I would say, that most people, who grew up listening to this music was indeed LISTENING to it, since music videos rarely existed. This kind of music was rarely on TV anyway!. We all "created" each our own images in our brains listening to this!? I do not recall having ever seen a video of this! I was 15 in 1970 btw!
The birth of heavy metal, way sooner than most folks suspected. 1969. This is your rock & roll history, kids. 50 years later, you're like, what? Yeah, that's what.
A lot of people don't like this video because it's not original to the music I have no problem with it. I think it was well done and brings up the dark themes that war brings You two are lovely people
I feel privileged that you two shared this reaction with us. I have thought of you both a few times when I turn on the radio or tv and hear about more war and more suffering of the many at the hands of the few. I love my homeland but at the same time I know we are often part of the problem and not the solution and for that I'm ashamed. I don't know what to say, the pain in your eyes levees me speechless. Stay safe.
A lot of songs came out in the late '60's and early '70's. A really good one came out by Pink Floyd called 'Us and Them' if you'd like to check it out. Great reaction!
Songs like these change things, but very slowly and only for people willing to listen. Sadly the people in control laugh about such things rather than learn from them.
Perfect song for today's world... Happy you guys are ok. I think about you all the time and it makes me sad to see such nice people being to close to such madness. Elie, we are trusting you with the safety of a dear soul, Carol. Please be careful. 🙏🙏
I only found your channel yesterday and I absolute love your reactions to the videos you watch. I hope peace returns to your beautiful country very soon.
Thank you for your excellent reaction and the greatest loss in any war is humanity either by lives lost or the people affected by it. Please keep making your excellent reactions and enjoying yourselves.
Having an idea of what your personal situation is right now , I got these "chilling" goose bumps as the 1st chords of the song struck as I thought to myself , "This is going to so resonate with you 2" . Hears to hoping for more Peace , Love & Understanding in this world . 😎
8:10 The woman represents ''JUSTICE'' The white cloth in her eyes represents ''PEACE'' The white cloth stained with blood conveys the message that justice and peace must be one and the same, and only when that happens will we truly have freedom and peace. But this is not achieved without sacrifices.
I was born in Augsburg Germany 1967 {my parents & grandparents survived Hitler} & my mother & I immigrated to America in 1973 & what I have learned is that the US has been involved in a war in every decade since WWII 1940s, Korean war 1950s, Vietnam war 1960s & 70s, Iran/Iraq war 1980s, Gulf war & Bosnian war 1990s, Iraq war & Afghanistan war 2000s & the ongoing middle east conflict since "2010"! Props to Bill Ward for bangin' those skins {drums} so incredibly awesome ✌💖☮
Love your comments, so true, keep your faith in humanity - would love to transport you direct to Scotland right now where you will feel safe and very very cold - Stay Safe.........
As for the song War Pigs you two absolutely got it right away! My parents thought it was the devil's music. Then someone read the lyrics and said....they maybe have been the first " Christian rock band"...lol! This world is a crazy one. May God keep and bless you both always.
Good looking cpl reacting to a song i was raised on, watching many bands cover this , the lyrics will stay true for eternity whilst i won`t, thankyou for this :) x
Great reaction as usual. Please.. stay safe my friends. You have entered a whole new world of heavy metal. You need to start the rabbit hole from their first album. Their self titled song Black Sabbath is a classic, perfect song to be introduced. Pick anything from them, you can't go wrong. Enjoy the ride. Godspeed...
Absolute brilliant song as relevant today as it was then. There's a live version from Paris 1970 you must see, it's a little quicker and a chance to see Bill Ward's amazing drumming.👍
This is my favorite Sabbath song and so easy to play on guitar. Which most their songs have really catchy guitar riffs that are fairly easy to play because Tony Iommi, the lead guitarist lost several fingertips on his fretboard hand right before the band got started and he had to invent his own prosthetic fingertips.
Use to listen to this song ( album ) when it first came out. I was 15 to 16 years old. We would listen to it high on weed and tripen on LSD. It was crazy.
I think it does do something. It changes the hearts of those who have them, people who understand pain and refuse to be convinced 'those innocent people over there' need to pay for it.
I hope you are both well! I so appreciated Carol’s message that there is far more that unites us than divides us is the key - that is the power of music - it brings us together and has all of the answers to life’s mysteries - if only we could put it all together and figure it out. Anyhow, here are some of my favorite anti-war songs “If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next” by Manic Street Preachers - The title of the song says it all. “Zombie” - The Cranberries. - Such a powerful song - the official video compliments it perfectly “All We Are Saying (is give peace a chance)” John Lennon and Yoko Ono / The Plastic Ono Band - this is a up beat song with a simple message that I think we should all be repeating over and over “When The Tigers Broke Free” by Pink Floyd - not a typical PF song perhaps but the death of Roger Waters Father in WWII “Fortunate Son” - Creedance Clearwater Revival another commentary on who really goes to war (and pays the price). “Gimme Shelter” - Rolling Stones - feature Merry Clayton a female singer who adds such haunting vocals to the song. “One” by Metallica - anti-war and a Metallic classic how could you go wrong? - the official video just makes it just that much better. I hope this list helps you process your emotions and circumstances (and keeps your rage burning at the nonsense going on). Though I am half the world away, I think of you two often and hope for the safety of you and those you love. With much love ❤️ from Canada.
I am glad to see you are both well and safe. I am not sure whether you will like this but I would recommend a song by Sepultura called Territory. The music may be too heavy for you but I think you will find the video and lyrics interesting. Take care.
i was born 1969 , by the time i was 11 years old , i was listening to Black Sabbath , Deep Purple , Hawkwind , when motorhead Lemmy R.i p was base player for hawkwind before he started motohead thank you for the flash back to a time in my life when things were more simple, i hope you are protected stay as safe as you can xxxx
Seeing the emotional response you two had during this song actually brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry what you have been going through. Please stay safe. This world is so much better with you guys around. Peace to you.
Yeah a 50 year old protest song is as relevant today as when it was released..... says a lot about us sadly.

Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple - the pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal built on a foundation of the blues.
With Jazz drummers ❤
Sabbath started the side of metal thats darker tones. Zeppelin started the blues based hard rock that would become hair metal
They were considered The Unholy British Trinity of Heavy Metal.
1. Led Zeppelin
2. Deep Purple
3. Black Sabbath
FYI...this is a fan made video from the 1990s, not from the band. The song was released in 1970 and was written during the Vietnam Era
I don't care for this video as it is too distracting to the music, and too many reactors pay too much attention to it, and it has little to do with the song.
Yeah. I kinda hate that this video exists and seems to get so many views. Has nothing to do with Sabbath, and everyone gets distracted by it.

Their very first song not only was the first metal song but it also created the very first sub-genre of heavy metal.
Their first 6 albums and the 2 they did with Dio were absolutely groundbreaking. These guys were just incredible musicians.

No, the incredible lyrics are crucial to the full enjoyment of this song and Ozzy fucks them up badly in that performance.

Alot to unpack in this one. This will be relevant forever until it all ends.
"Begging mercy for their sins, Satan laughing spreads his wings" - Many world leaders could do well to think on that!
I really appreciate the way you both look a little deeper than most, to see the meaning behind some of these bands. 💜
I love your content and am excited to see your reactions to more videos
This song is my favorite Black Sabbath song,
Love it when it came out and still love it too this day.
God bless you both. Music like this gets the message out to people to plant the seed. Changes will come. So, the music does make a differnce.
Keep going on sabbath you won't regret it!
It's always been this way.... I'm glad people are finally piecing it all together.

Yes Ozzy sang this. try his solo stuff too. "Revelation Mother Earth" is the most relevant to this, or "Crazy Train" ,huge hit in the 80's.

Geezer Butler was quoted as saying the 1st metal song was the Beatles "Helter Skelter".
@ I’m won’t argue that point.
But, one could say that Blue Cheers cover of Summertime Blues is the 1st metal song.
This was jaw dropping music when it first came out back in the day too!
I think it does do something. It changes the hearts of those who have them, people who understand pain and refuse to be convinced 'those innocent people over there' need to pay for it.
I hope you are both well! I so appreciated Carol’s message that there is far more that unites us than divides us is the key - that is the power of music - it brings us together and has all of the answers to life’s mysteries - if only we could put it all together and figure it out.
Anyhow, here are some of my favorite anti-war songs
“If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next” by Manic Street Preachers - The title of the song says it all.
“Zombie” - The Cranberries. - Such a powerful song - the official video compliments it perfectly
“All We Are Saying (is give peace a chance)” John Lennon and Yoko Ono / The Plastic Ono Band - this is a up beat song with a simple message that I think we should all be repeating over and over
“When The Tigers Broke Free” by Pink Floyd - not a typical PF song perhaps but the death of Roger Waters Father in WWII
“Fortunate Son” - Creedance Clearwater Revival another commentary on who really goes to war (and pays the price).
“Gimme Shelter” - Rolling Stones - feature Merry Clayton a female singer who adds such haunting vocals to the song.
“One” by Metallica - anti-war and a Metallic classic how could you go wrong? - the official video just makes it just that much better.
I hope this list helps you process your emotions and circumstances (and keeps your rage burning at the nonsense going on). Though I am half the world away, I think of you two often and hope for the safety of you and those you love. With much love ❤️ from Canada.
❤ blessings sent, and may you know lasting peace and love.
I am glad to see you are both well and safe. I am not sure whether you will like this but I would recommend a song by Sepultura called Territory. The music may be too heavy for you but I think you will find the video and lyrics interesting. Take care.
I' m so sorry for what is happening in your homeland.Stay safe!
You both need to check out a song from Edwin Starr called WAR came out in 1970 same year as war Pigs
Just as pertinent today as it was back in 1970 when Vietnam was going on Peace and Blessings to you both
All of sudden I'm in high school in mid 70's again..great selection
Sabbath is a great Band! My 3rd Favorite of all time!
