“I don’t think I’ve ever heard Black Sabbath” Iron Man movie credits: am I a joke to you? “Is this normal? For there just to be no lyrics for such a long time?” Yes. Yes it is. Welcome to the world of breakdowns and instrumentals A lot of metal, despite popular belief, actually talks about important subjects. Societal, political, spiritual, any subject you can think of there’s probably a metal song about it. As a huge metalhead I love seeing people dipping their toes in the genre and coming in with an open mind and actually trying to understand it. If you want some good bands with meaningful lyrics about political and societal issues check out bands like Metallica, Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, System of a Down, and Rage Against The Machine. If you want some dope drumming my go tos are: Metallica (again), Slayer and Avenged Sevenfold

"Is this normal, for there to be no lyrics for such a long time?". Yes. This is maybe one of the most defining characteristics of the "metal" genre: it is very focused on the music which is why purely instrumental passages are given significant weight and many "metal" singers use their voice as an instrument as much as a means to sing a song. This is also why "metal" tracks are often longer than the average pop or rock song.
Almost always a bad idea to watch a video (even the "official" ones) to songs. They rarely have anything at all to do with the song and can confuse the message of the music. I see lots of people react to metal and they're so wrapped up in the video that they're really not paying any attention to the song. Just a thought.
This is not an 'official' video. It is some fan made garbage that is a distraction from the song. When I see a reactor use this video to 'listen' to this song, I thumbs down and don't watch all of their video.
I agree with all of this. Way too often I say, "Great song, terrible video," and that's about videos made by the artists, not some fan mash-up like this video. Unfortunately, as far as I could tell Mary thought this was an official video and put too much stock into it.

Can't go wrong w/ Iron Maiden. They're kind of middle of the genre on the edge of hard rock/ metal. They brought modern metal into the spotlight in the early 80s. I suggest something tame (as in no screaming) w/ Hallowed Be Thy Name, Wasted Years, or Powerslave. Great guitar, vocals, everything.Tons of hits. Look for their most popular ones to sample.
What's blowing my mind if that like 40years later they're still here and they rock, the writing on the wall a few month ago is great, I can hear it all day
Wait until she tries to figure out the various subgroups within the genre. Classic (Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc), thrash, neo metal from the 90's, industrial (not the dance/electric pop stuff), hair band era, symphonic, punk/metal hybrid. It could take months just to skim each.
The thing about the Vietnam War was that it was one of the first wars where it was being filmed and shown on TV every day. I think it opened the eyes of a lot of people back in America to the grim reality and horrors of war. It became an unpopular war partly due to this.
Heavy metal pretty much starts with Black Sabbath, one of the most influential bands of all time. Sabbath's discography is well worth exploring, Vol. 4 being my favorite. Also in the 70s you've got Rainbow, Judas Priest, Deep Purple and of course Zep. Looking forward to more heavy metal reactions! Though I would recommend avoiding any music videos unless it's live
I never used to listen to screamed vocals either, I honestly thought it was absurd. However, the pandemic had me watching reaction vids from vocal coaches and I found out how much technique is involved, and while I still don't like a full scream song, I've come to enjoy songs that use it as emphasis, and I appreciate it when I see someone like Tatiana from Jinjer for example displaying insane control over her sound.
I've seen a couple of the videos, and while I respect the expertise of those coaches, I still can't stand screamers. Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence FLOORED me. That guy has an amazing voice when he's not screaming.
black sabbath is the first metal band, when everyone was singing about flowers and love, these guys were sing about irony and death. for more info on the Vietnam War watch universal soldier or any other movie. if you listen to the lyrics again you'll find what the real message is.
True but this is not what defines "metal". The backlash to Flower Power didn't wait for them, the Rolling Stones had it right out already in 1968 with Sympathy For The Devil, Street Fighting Man then Gimme Shelter or Midnight Rambler, and by 1969 the Stooges were taking all this to 11 and more. "Metal" is a purely musical genre, not a thematic one.
@@Leo_ofRedKeep yeah...mick and the devil formed a pact at that rock festival....nice job Mick....zappa was the only artist criticising flower power at the time.
When the Heaven and Hell album came out I came home with it and Van Halen's And the Cradle Will Rock album. Saving the best for last I played the Van Halen album, then before I put on the Black Sabbath album I turned the volume up, maybe a little too much. Big mistake because when Neon Knights came booming out of my speakers and almost blew them out I couldn't cross the room fast enough to turn the volume back down. Awesome song, fun days.
Great reacation Mary, very insightful for never having listened to this kind of music before. It will be good for you to go by decades and pick a number of songs from each decade as it will give you a feel for how metal has evolved over the years. Your mate can give you like the most important songs from each decade. The number will increase each decade as metal grows and splits into multiple sub genres and each then evolves.
Mary, I only watch your movie recommendations, and I clicked on this. I LOVE how you immediately notice the cool drum work on the verses. I'm not a metal fan - ie: 1980s-present..... but I love 60s and 70s rock & roll, of which Black Sabbath totally is part of, and I always loved this song. This wasn't called heavy metal when it came out, it was just hard rock, which is the root of "metal". Really loved your sharp ears on that, and so I'm subscribing to this channel as well, just based on that split second. PS: I wish there wasn't video on this (which is decades after it was recorded), it's better just to listen without having visual distraction, other than the album cover, especially when it's from a totally different time period. The album cover for this song is great, and the only image needed.
I consider this a "Classic Metal" sub-genre. As with most genres there are good songs/artists and bad, and even 'bad' ones can reach a few rabid fans. It comes down to what you are looking for and what catches your ear. Classic Metal (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen), Thrash Metal (Metallica, Megadeath, Pantera, Jinjer), Speed/Power Metal (Dragonforce), Symphonic Metal (Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica), Industrial Metal (Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Marilyn Manson), Alternative and Nu Metal (Alice in Chains, Tool, Godsmack, System of a Down, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Disturbed), Progressive Metal (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Dream Theater). You can slice and dice it so many ways, and no one will agree with the organization or if those bands would be considered 'metal', but there are some that were more popular than others. I would recommend speaking with your friend more about these sub-genres to see if he/she has some thoughts on what is worth trying. Not everything is scream-o or growling, although there are a few gems in those areas even.
Not to forget Scotish Pirate Metal (Alestorm) and Historical Power Metal (Sabaton) and maybe Powerwolf (don't know if they count to Power Metal.) they all are good to understand and not screaming.
...And, one of my favorite movie reactors starts reacting to metal. You, young lady, have just made my night. Hoping you choose to do more of this. You'll discover many great things. Cheers. \m/
Hi, Mary! So excited to watch you discovering metal! Your friend is right. Death Metal is too much for a newcomer. Black Sabbath is what some people call proto-metal, so not quite metal yet, but getting there. You should listen to some classic bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica and some bands from more melodic subgenres like Symphonic Metal, Power Metal, Progressive Metal or Folk Metal. Also, within these subgenres you should also explore female fronted bands 😉
Metallica - Unforgiven Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Official Live Video) Iron Maiden - The Trooper Wintersun - Time Sabaton - Great War Megadeth - Angry Again Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild Judas Priest - Painkiller Rammstein - Deutschland
This is a really classic song and near perfection of hard rock, early heavy metal song. The band are extremely talented and BTW, I loved the show Freaks and Geeks too. Black Sabbath gets a reputation for being satanic due to their dark music and band name, however, many of their lyrics are actually anti-satanic. They were originally a blues band and took them name from the marquee of a movie theater which was playing the 1960s horror movie of the same name.
Love your reaction to this song. This is the first Sabbath song I learned to play on guitar! You also heard their song IronMan in the end credits to Iron Man 1 🤘🏽
You did good. The best music is hard rock and metal. Best musicians best vocals, best and most intelligent lyrics. Definitely go down this rabbit hole.
YES! Explore more metal! Create a "series"! Call it... "Metal Mary"...? "Cherry Metal"...? You'll think of something clever! Here's a few "cherry" themes to start you off... Warrant - CHERRY PIE Keel - CHERRY LANE The Runaways - CHERRY BOMB
Oh sweet Mary… You picked a great one to start your journey on. Hands down my favorite Sabbath song. Even though this was made back in 1970, it is still relevant today. Just for different reasons. Especially for you guys in AU. Crazy bonkers of overreach Batman!!! I really appreciate you leaving in and slowing down the clip of the factory worker taking off his mask as if he was fed up with being told what to do. Very relevant in today’s times. I also liked the scene in this video (which I thought was very deep) of the Big Gov man standing out and overseeing everyone beneath him. The shadow on the wall behind him from the statue… but the statue isn’t wearing a hat. So I see it as someone is watching the watcher. Someone else is pulling the strings behind the curtain.
"War Pigs" is from their 1970 album called "Paranoid". This was years before the term "Heavy Metal" existed as a music genre by name. Guitarist Toni Iommi said in a 1999 interview: "We always classed ourselves as a hard rock band. "Heavy Metal", I don't know where that came from".
This was written & recorded at a time when metal was just coming into being & defining itself. In early metal, instrumental virtuosity, with extended musical breaks; especially guitar solos, were commonplace. Also this was at a time when MTV & music videos didn't exist yet. So you might find yourself confused trying to connect the video with the song lyrics even if it the official video release. I loved your musical reaction. Hope you'll consider doing more. Especially in the classic metal category.
You should react to Sabaton. They are a Swedish power metal band that sing about military history and acts of heroism. They have a song called "The Ballad of Bull". It's about an Australian WW2 hero named Leslie "Bull" Allen, who saved 12 American soldiers.
If you liked the drumming you must watch Black Sabbath sing this live 1970 in Paris. This video manages to capture a lot of the raw energy the electricity at the concert, especially the drummer Bill Ward. He was absolutely on fire.
This is the kind of stuff I grew up with, really early metal like Black Sabbath. For an introduction, it's a great idea to start with the guys who came first and influenced everyone else. What I love about the first few Black Sabbath albums is that you can hear the building blocks of their style, lots of blues and even some English folk, that you don't pick up in anything later. There's a lot that's quite accessible and shouldn't be intimidating for a newbie. Standards like Iron Maiden and Motorhead that everyone should know, Metallica are huge of course, Van Halen were just such a fun party band. I lean towards more melodic early bands like Blue Oyster Cult or Atomic Rooster... but dip your toe in and see what you like!
Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath. Holy Diver by Dio. The Trooper and Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden. Master of Puppets, One, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Enter Sandman by Metallica. You've Got Another Thing Coming, Painkiller, Breaking the Law, The Hellion/Electric Eye by Judas Priest. Walk, Cowboys From Hell, and Domination by Pantera. Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold
Another song about the Vietnam War I'd recommend is the hip hop song "Uncommon Valor" by Vinnie Paz and RA the Rugged Man. The video only has Rugged in it and his verse about his dad in the war and having siblings that suffered from his Agent Orange exposure.
Always cool to see the next generation discover "my" sort of music. If you're interested in the origins of Hard Rock I'd like to suggest "Sunshine of your Love" by Cream (the live version in the Royal Albert Hall in 1968 is epic, featuring a 21 year old Eric Clapton and one of the first headbangers ever recorded). Jimi Hendrix is also up that alley.
Basically Black Sabbath invented Heavy Metal as a genre. Growing up in Birmingham, UK, around lots of the heavy metal industries in the city, their music was compared to anvils and the sounds of industry, thus inventing the term for 'Heavy metal' as a genre. Often Sabbath and Motorhead are both credited with inventing the genre in slightly different ways.
- Man, this could be the start of a wild journey ! A lot of paths you could take through metal music that go a lot of directions. Definitely need to hear some Metallica and Iron Maden for more of the early stuff. There's a ton of metal heads out there who will have great suggestions. A lot of metal is really hard melodic stuff with deep lyrics... or just really dark lyrics, lots of directions to go there. Looking forward to seeing where this goes ! >: D
3:48 that image is of Battersea power station in London (now an art gallery), here's it's used as an analogy, the poor are being used as fuel for the wars. Heavy Metal has so many sub genres, it's not all "screaming cannibalistic stuff" Heavy metal music deals with so many deep themes and differing stories.
Some other black sabbath songs to check out (either on your own or as a reaction): -NIB -Children of the grave -Black Sabbath -Symptom of the universe -electric funeral -under the sun
Hey Mary, just throwing an idea out there for you: I've been watching a youtube reactor (another Aussie, in fact), and she's been reacting to all of The Beatles albums in order. It's been a really beautiful experience and it's also blown up her channel pretty fast! Since you're a "flowery girl" - and because you already demonstrated to me you have sharp ears for musical detail - I know I myself would LOVE to see you do those albums. Even (and especially!) if you already know and like The Beatles - if you haven't listened to the albums themselves, and in order, people will definitely love to see your reactions because the progression album to album is so clear, and the variety so great. And let's face it: every Beatles album is like a little "movie"! In fact, every Beatles SONG is like a little movie! Anyways, just an idea! Watching you react to ANY great rock and roll from the 60s and 70s (and before and after those decades), I'm all for that.
War Pigs is a timeless CLASSIC. Fantastic guitar, drums and lyrics. Really glad you like it. 👍🔥👍🔥👍😎 Led Zeppelin,,,Stairway to Heaven. An absolute MUST!!!
I got the album Paranoid ( which this song is from ) back when I was in high school in the seventies. It really opened my eyes. You might want to check out the song Iron Man. It's from the same album, and isn't about Tony Stark.
Metal is sort of a broad genre. There are several sub categories of metal. It definitely not all screaming. Nu Metal Symphonic Metal Heavy Metal Death Metal Progressive Metal These are the first that come to mind, but there are others.
Heavy Metal has its roots in jazz, blues, and baroque music. Bill Ward is absolutely a jazz drummer. Other metal genres tend to be more of an expansion of metal that came before it.
As others have said. You had heard Black Sabbath before because there is no way you’ve never heard “Iron Man”. I’m not a big metal head. But Black Sabbath knocked her up. Metallica (from the 1980s) married her. I would recommend the song “Master of Puppets”, though technically it isn’t my favorite Metallica song, I think it is the best introduction to their music.
Black Sabbath was the original heavy metal (and often considered doom metal) band from England. Ozzy Osbourne and his family are pretty well known, as well as Sharon Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne. Ronnie James Dio joined the band after Ozzy left and originated the devil horns. One of the most popular hand gestures in the west, yet very few people know of it's origins coming form metal.
That music video is new. There are videos of them playing the song live available. Some other Sabbath recommendations: Black Sabbath (very gothic) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Paranoid Hand of Doom (about how heroin addiction kills) Megalomania (my favorite, tho not a "hit" - it has a really cool vocal bit where Ozzy sings the last syllable of the first word, then the first syllable for several measures until it comes together for the full word, e.g., "Sez ob, sez ob, sez Obsessed") Sweet Leaf
If you want to continue chronologically, theres still a bunch of 70's metal to be explored, here are a few of the bands that come to mind; Deep Purple, Rainbow, KISS, Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, Van Halen, Scorpions, Motorhead, Rush, etc...
Here's the thing about Metal music no one ever tells people starting out or even people who listen to it casually. There's so much! There's a guy who made a documentary series about it where he identified 26 different individual genres. Since that came out I know of at least one more that's come about you could add to the list. But that's only the starting point. Then you have bands that combine elements of those other ones or combine it with other genres entirely (I know of at least one who made a legit Jazz Metal song with Saxophone solos and everything). Then you have genres in different time periods or from different countries with their own spin on it. It can seem unbelievably intimidating at first but here's the thing. New to it or spent a lifetime listening to it everyone is still experiencing something they've never heard of for the first time that could be classified as Metal. It's a journey not a competition. It's expanding your horizons and experiencing something new and novel. That's what metal is really all about.
Some suggestions to ease you into the genre my lady: Crazy Train-Ozzy , One-Metallica, Looks That Kill-Motley Crue , Still of The Night- Whitesnake , Round and Round - Ratt , Black Star-Yngwie Malmsteen , and Ace of Spades- by Motörhead. That should have you jumping in the mosh pit in no time!
This is not an official video and a little misleading on the topic of the actual song. It's am anti war song and this is a fan video and fairly well done but this is video does give a first listener a little false view of the song. The singer is Ozzy Osborne who you probably have heard of from reality tv.
So back in the day, music did put more focus on the instrumental skill on music. Rock especially did this as it's a roots are from Jazz and old RnR. in the 60s-70s you'll hear a lot of guitars and drums in these genres back then.
Iron maiden - stranger in a strange land, flight of icarus, hallowed be thy name (live hammersmith 82)... Of the top of my head, but they have such an immense catalogue of good songs its pretty hard to give just a few suggestions
You need to do a symphonic metal band called Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live @ wacken 2013. Their fandom is amazing, and the band have so many different songs. You won't regret this at all!
This video is not an official video but fan made so don’t read into the video but listen to the music and lyrics. The song is an Aragorn for Vietnam war.
I find hard Rock and metal lyrics usually fall into 4 categories 1. Getting Laid and/or getting wasted. 2. Rebelling & Rocking forever 3. Fantasy worlds. Or 4. Deep thought provoking political, Social, moral and emotional situations and circumstances.
Oh darlin'. You have no idea how deep the rabbit hole is that you're about to fall down. Especially considering deep lyrics...AND (hopefully) your discovery of female-fronted metal bands. Nightwish, Jinjer, Unleash the Archers, etc. Don't worry...we'll be there to catch you when you finally fall through the bottom.
Black Sabbath is the Grandaddy of Heavy Metal. Most of their music is iconic.
Nah. This would be Uriah Heap.
So far I can understand them.
Ozzy singing, coherent.
Ozzy speaking, bring a translator.
Brilliant 😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHA FUNNY BUT TRUE!!

I suggest something tame (as in no screaming) w/ Hallowed Be Thy Name, Wasted Years, or Powerslave. Great guitar, vocals, everything.Tons of hits. Look for their most popular ones to sample.
Went to several maiden concerts and yeah its epic. All maiden songs have stories.
What's blowing my mind if that like 40years later they're still here and they rock, the writing on the wall a few month ago is great, I can hear it all day
@@andredulac4456 Bruce is like the energizer bunny. He keeps going and going and ....
Also try the trooper
@@RamPenndragon Yep. Too many hits to list.
Welcome to a whole new world, Black Sabbath is the Grand Daddy. All metal derives from them. Great song to start with. Hope you continue on
Wait until she tries to figure out the various subgroups within the genre. Classic (Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc), thrash, neo metal from the 90's, industrial (not the dance/electric pop stuff), hair band era, symphonic, punk/metal hybrid. It could take months just to skim each.
Great first choice for a Metal intro!!! I've been listening to these guys since 1977 and I never get tired of them!
You should definitely do Metallica, especially Enter Sandman and Master of Puppets.
The thing about the Vietnam War was that it was one of the first wars where it was being filmed and shown on TV every day. I think it opened the eyes of a lot of people back in America to the grim reality and horrors of war. It became an unpopular war partly due to this.
You need to listen to Tom Sawyer by Rush. Neil Pert is one of the best drummers of all time
Rush's 2112 also would be a really adventurous approach but definetily a masterpiece
Not metal.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 She likes drums. That's the topic. Try to keep up.
Neil PEART … RIP..
The hilarious thing is "I like that I can hear them clearly" after hearing Ozzy, knowing how often he mumbled when talking.
Heavy metal pretty much starts with Black Sabbath, one of the most influential bands of all time. Sabbath's discography is well worth exploring, Vol. 4 being my favorite. Also in the 70s you've got Rainbow, Judas Priest, Deep Purple and of course Zep. Looking forward to more heavy metal reactions! Though I would recommend avoiding any music videos unless it's live
Or led zeplin or king crimson
Uriah Heep, Nazareth
Vol.4 the first Sabbath album I heard!
Another band you should listen to. Is " Nightwish". ( Ghost Love Score). Live from Wacken 2013 .
One, by Metallica. Classic.
I never used to listen to screamed vocals either, I honestly thought it was absurd. However, the pandemic had me watching reaction vids from vocal coaches and I found out how much technique is involved, and while I still don't like a full scream song, I've come to enjoy songs that use it as emphasis, and I appreciate it when I see someone like Tatiana from Jinjer for example displaying insane control over her sound.
I've seen a couple of the videos, and while I respect the expertise of those coaches, I still can't stand screamers. Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence FLOORED me. That guy has an amazing voice when he's not screaming.
black sabbath is the first metal band, when everyone was singing about flowers and love, these guys were sing about irony and death. for more info on the Vietnam War watch universal soldier or any other movie. if you listen to the lyrics again you'll find what the real message is.
True but this is not what defines "metal". The backlash to Flower Power didn't wait for them, the Rolling Stones had it right out already in 1968 with Sympathy For The Devil, Street Fighting Man then Gimme Shelter or Midnight Rambler, and by 1969 the Stooges were taking all this to 11 and more. "Metal" is a purely musical genre, not a thematic one.
dont think frank zappa was singing about flower power.
@@Leo_ofRedKeep yeah...mick and the devil formed a pact at that rock festival....nice job Mick....zappa was the only artist criticising flower power at the time.
one of my favorites of Black Sabbath is 'Neon Knights', sung by the late great Ronnie James Dio
Heaven and Hell is my favorite, but Neon Knights is still a good song.
When the Heaven and Hell album came out I came home with it and Van Halen's And the Cradle Will Rock album. Saving the best for last I played the Van Halen album, then before I put on the Black Sabbath album I turned the volume up, maybe a little too much. Big mistake because when Neon Knights came booming out of my speakers and almost blew them out I couldn't cross the room fast enough to turn the volume back down. Awesome song, fun days.
That title brings back memories of the PKer group from Urban Dead lol. I bet they actually named themselves after the song.
Great reacation Mary, very insightful for never having listened to this kind of music before.
It will be good for you to go by decades and pick a number of songs from each decade as it will give you a feel for how metal has evolved over the years.
Your mate can give you like the most important songs from each decade.
The number will increase each decade as metal grows and splits into multiple sub genres and each then evolves.
Mary, I only watch your movie recommendations, and I clicked on this. I LOVE how you immediately notice the cool drum work on the verses. I'm not a metal fan - ie: 1980s-present..... but I love 60s and 70s rock & roll, of which Black Sabbath totally is part of, and I always loved this song. This wasn't called heavy metal when it came out, it was just hard rock, which is the root of "metal". Really loved your sharp ears on that, and so I'm subscribing to this channel as well, just based on that split second. PS: I wish there wasn't video on this (which is decades after it was recorded), it's better just to listen without having visual distraction, other than the album cover, especially when it's from a totally different time period. The album cover for this song is great, and the only image needed.
I consider this a "Classic Metal" sub-genre. As with most genres there are good songs/artists and bad, and even 'bad' ones can reach a few rabid fans. It comes down to what you are looking for and what catches your ear. Classic Metal (Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen), Thrash Metal (Metallica, Megadeath, Pantera, Jinjer), Speed/Power Metal (Dragonforce), Symphonic Metal (Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica), Industrial Metal (Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Marilyn Manson), Alternative and Nu Metal (Alice in Chains, Tool, Godsmack, System of a Down, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Disturbed), Progressive Metal (Tool, A Perfect Circle, Dream Theater). You can slice and dice it so many ways, and no one will agree with the organization or if those bands would be considered 'metal', but there are some that were more popular than others.
I would recommend speaking with your friend more about these sub-genres to see if he/she has some thoughts on what is worth trying.
Not everything is scream-o or growling, although there are a few gems in those areas even.
You forgot Kawaii Metal (Babymetal, Ladybaby, certain Poppy albums).
@@jeremyfrost2636 very true! There are so many ways to slice it.
Not to forget Scotish Pirate Metal (Alestorm) and Historical Power Metal (Sabaton) and maybe Powerwolf (don't know if they count to Power Metal.) they all are good to understand and not screaming.
metallica, pantera, judas priest, iron maiden, megadeth, dio, and motorhead are some good classic bands to start with
...And, one of my favorite movie reactors starts reacting to metal. You, young lady, have just made my night. Hoping you choose to do more of this. You'll discover many great things. Cheers. \m/
Hi, Mary! So excited to watch you discovering metal! Your friend is right. Death Metal is too much for a newcomer. Black Sabbath is what some people call proto-metal, so not quite metal yet, but getting there. You should listen to some classic bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica and some bands from more melodic subgenres like Symphonic Metal, Power Metal, Progressive Metal or Folk Metal. Also, within these subgenres you should also explore female fronted bands 😉
I love that she says she can understand him when he sings. It's funny because when he talks you need captions lol.
Metallica - Unforgiven
Nightwish - Ghost Love Score (Official Live Video)
Iron Maiden - The Trooper
Wintersun - Time
Sabaton - Great War
Megadeth - Angry Again
Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It
Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild
Judas Priest - Painkiller
Rammstein - Deutschland
This is a really classic song and near perfection of hard rock, early heavy metal song. The band are extremely talented and BTW, I loved the show Freaks and Geeks too. Black Sabbath gets a reputation for being satanic due to their dark music and band name, however, many of their lyrics are actually anti-satanic. They were originally a blues band and took them name from the marquee of a movie theater which was playing the 1960s horror movie of the same name.
For interesting non screaming try NIGHTWISH with Ghost love score. Symphonic metal i.e. metal meets orchestra with opera.
YES! YES! And YES!!!!
Idk if she's ready to call down the power of the Nightwish army!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😎
That needs to happen.
That's my girl!!!!! Your boy is smart. Gotta ease into it 😁
Its time to turn Mary into a metalhead
Love your reaction to this song. This is the first Sabbath song I learned to play on guitar! You also heard their song IronMan in the end credits to Iron Man 1 🤘🏽
You did good. The best music is hard rock and metal. Best musicians best vocals, best and most intelligent lyrics. Definitely go down this rabbit hole.
Mary you need to turn the volume up on the video-love your work.
Yes more metal videos! You more channel is awesome 🙏
You have definitely heard Black Sabbath before. The song “Iron Man” was used in the first Iron Man movie.
Makes sense
YES!
Explore more metal! Create a "series"!
Call it...
"Metal Mary"...?
"Cherry Metal"...?
You'll think of something clever!
Here's a few "cherry" themes to start you off...
Warrant - CHERRY PIE
Keel - CHERRY LANE
The Runaways - CHERRY BOMB
Yes, gotta be Metal Cherry
My fave YT presenter reacts to my fave group and anti war song! It's not even my birthday! Lol. Thanks Mary!
Oh sweet Mary… You picked a great one to start your journey on. Hands down my favorite Sabbath song. Even though this was made back in 1970, it is still relevant today. Just for different reasons. Especially for you guys in AU. Crazy bonkers of overreach Batman!!! I really appreciate you leaving in and slowing down the clip of the factory worker taking off his mask as if he was fed up with being told what to do. Very relevant in today’s times. I also liked the scene in this video (which I thought was very deep) of the Big Gov man standing out and overseeing everyone beneath him. The shadow on the wall behind him from the statue… but the statue isn’t wearing a hat. So I see it as someone is watching the watcher. Someone else is pulling the strings behind the curtain.
This isn't an official video, It's fan made.
"War Pigs" is from their 1970 album called "Paranoid". This was years before the term "Heavy Metal" existed as a music genre by name. Guitarist Toni Iommi said in a 1999 interview: "We always classed ourselves as a hard rock band. "Heavy Metal", I don't know where that came from".
Since I am an 80's rock child, I think you might like Steelheart "I will never let you go", best Voice from the time.
A lot of Metal has profound lyrics, you just have to listen closely. If you want metal with a side of history try Sabaton.
Ignore the video. It's fanmade and has absolutely nothing to do with the song.
This was written & recorded at a time when metal was just coming into being & defining itself. In early metal, instrumental virtuosity, with extended musical breaks; especially guitar solos, were commonplace. Also this was at a time when MTV & music videos didn't exist yet. So you might find yourself confused trying to connect the video with the song lyrics even if it the official video release. I loved your musical reaction. Hope you'll consider doing more. Especially in the classic metal category.
For an introduction to heavy metal, you went straight to the source. Looking forward to seeing more of your metal odyssey.
Good start. Black Sabbath also my first journey in metal
This video has nothing to do with the song, which was a protest to the Vietnam war.
You should react to Sabaton. They are a Swedish power metal band that sing about military history and acts of heroism. They have a song called "The Ballad of Bull". It's about an Australian WW2 hero named Leslie "Bull" Allen, who saved 12 American soldiers.
Once you go metal, you never backpedal.
Black Sabbath invented Heavy Metal. 🤘
Ozzy! Great reaction M!
If you liked the drumming you must watch Black Sabbath sing this live 1970 in Paris. This video manages to capture a lot of the raw energy the electricity at the concert, especially the drummer Bill Ward. He was absolutely on fire.
This is the kind of stuff I grew up with, really early metal like Black Sabbath. For an introduction, it's a great idea to start with the guys who came first and influenced everyone else. What I love about the first few Black Sabbath albums is that you can hear the building blocks of their style, lots of blues and even some English folk, that you don't pick up in anything later.
There's a lot that's quite accessible and shouldn't be intimidating for a newbie. Standards like Iron Maiden and Motorhead that everyone should know, Metallica are huge of course, Van Halen were just such a fun party band. I lean towards more melodic early bands like Blue Oyster Cult or Atomic Rooster... but dip your toe in and see what you like!
Heaven and Hell by Black Sabbath. Holy Diver by Dio. The Trooper and Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden. Master of Puppets, One, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Enter Sandman by Metallica. You've Got Another Thing Coming, Painkiller, Breaking the Law, The Hellion/Electric Eye by Judas Priest. Walk, Cowboys From Hell, and Domination by Pantera. Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold
For a different perspective of Metal, check out Within Temptation's song "Angels"
Also "Paradise" ("What about us") by Within Temptation feat. Tarja
OMG!! I used to be a singer in a covers band, and this was my favourite song to sing. So theatrical!
From someone who bought this album (on vinyl) when it came out, I'm glad you listened to this.
Another song about the Vietnam War I'd recommend is the hip hop song "Uncommon Valor" by Vinnie Paz and RA the Rugged Man. The video only has Rugged in it and his verse about his dad in the war and having siblings that suffered from his Agent Orange exposure.
Always cool to see the next generation discover "my" sort of music. If you're interested in the origins of Hard Rock I'd like to suggest "Sunshine of your Love" by Cream (the live version in the Royal Albert Hall in 1968 is epic, featuring a 21 year old Eric Clapton and one of the first headbangers ever recorded).
Jimi Hendrix is also up that alley.
Basically Black Sabbath invented Heavy Metal as a genre. Growing up in Birmingham, UK, around lots of the heavy metal industries in the city, their music was compared to anvils and the sounds of industry, thus inventing the term for 'Heavy metal' as a genre. Often Sabbath and Motorhead are both credited with inventing the genre in slightly different ways.
Please react to Ayreon, the song The Day That The World Breaks Down is a great introduction to the brilliance that is Ayreon.
Iron Maiden. Judas Priest.
Michael Schenker Group.
Scorpions. Gary Moore.
Yngwie Malmsteen. Stryper.
Galactic Cowboys. Tourniquet.
Vengeance Rising.
- Man, this could be the start of a wild journey ! A lot of paths you could take through metal music that go a lot of directions.
Definitely need to hear some Metallica and Iron Maden for more of the early stuff.
There's a ton of metal heads out there who will have great suggestions.
A lot of metal is really hard melodic stuff with deep lyrics... or just really dark lyrics, lots of directions to go there.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes !
>: D
3:48 that image is of Battersea power station in London (now an art gallery), here's it's used as an analogy, the poor are being used as fuel for the wars. Heavy Metal has so many sub genres, it's not all "screaming cannibalistic stuff" Heavy metal music deals with so many deep themes and differing stories.
Some other black sabbath songs to check out (either on your own or as a reaction):
-NIB
-Children of the grave
-Black Sabbath
-Symptom of the universe
-electric funeral
-under the sun
3:53 - that's Battersea Power Station in London. (if you didn't know).. make of that what you will
Hey Mary, just throwing an idea out there for you: I've been watching a youtube reactor (another Aussie, in fact), and she's been reacting to all of The Beatles albums in order. It's been a really beautiful experience and it's also blown up her channel pretty fast! Since you're a "flowery girl" - and because you already demonstrated to me you have sharp ears for musical detail - I know I myself would LOVE to see you do those albums. Even (and especially!) if you already know and like The Beatles - if you haven't listened to the albums themselves, and in order, people will definitely love to see your reactions because the progression album to album is so clear, and the variety so great. And let's face it: every Beatles album is like a little "movie"! In fact, every Beatles SONG is like a little movie! Anyways, just an idea! Watching you react to ANY great rock and roll from the 60s and 70s (and before and after those decades), I'm all for that.
Notice there is the politician who looks like is in charge watching everything, but there is a shadowy figure in the background watching over him too.
I said below this is a recent fan-made video. Most early video clips from the '70s are from TV performances or edited live footage.
As a drummer who absolutely loves the drums in this song myself, glad you loved them too!!
War Pigs is a timeless CLASSIC. Fantastic guitar, drums and lyrics. Really glad you like it. 👍🔥👍🔥👍😎
Led Zeppelin,,,Stairway to Heaven. An absolute MUST!!!
I got the album Paranoid ( which this song is from ) back when I was in high school in the seventies. It really opened my eyes. You might want to check out the song Iron Man. It's from the same album, and isn't about Tony Stark.
The video was created about 20 years after the song came out.
Metal is sort of a broad genre. There are several sub categories of metal. It definitely not all screaming.
Nu Metal
Symphonic Metal
Heavy Metal
Death Metal
Progressive Metal
These are the first that come to mind, but there are others.
Doom
Thrash
Stoner
Glam
Viking
Black
Industrial
Heavy Metal has its roots in jazz, blues, and baroque music. Bill Ward is absolutely a jazz drummer. Other metal genres tend to be more of an expansion of metal that came before it.
The clip is recent. There were no clips before 75'
As others have said. You had heard Black Sabbath before because there is no way you’ve never heard “Iron Man”.
I’m not a big metal head. But Black Sabbath knocked her up. Metallica (from the 1980s) married her. I would recommend the song “Master of Puppets”, though technically it isn’t my favorite Metallica song, I think it is the best introduction to their music.
Black Sabbath was the original heavy metal (and often considered doom metal) band from England. Ozzy Osbourne and his family are pretty well known, as well as Sharon Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne. Ronnie James Dio joined the band after Ozzy left and originated the devil horns. One of the most popular hand gestures in the west, yet very few people know of it's origins coming form metal.
That music video is new. There are videos of them playing the song live available.
Some other Sabbath recommendations:
Black Sabbath (very gothic)
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Paranoid
Hand of Doom (about how heroin addiction kills)
Megalomania (my favorite, tho not a "hit" - it has a really cool vocal bit where Ozzy sings the last syllable of the first word, then the first syllable for several measures until it comes together for the full word, e.g., "Sez ob, sez ob, sez Obsessed")
Sweet Leaf
If you want to continue chronologically, theres still a bunch of 70's metal to be explored, here are a few of the bands that come to mind; Deep Purple, Rainbow, KISS, Ted Nugent, Judas Priest, Van Halen, Scorpions, Motorhead, Rush, etc...
As an Australian I hope you see the correlation between the concepts in this song and video and what's going on in your country.
Here's the thing about Metal music no one ever tells people starting out or even people who listen to it casually. There's so much! There's a guy who made a documentary series about it where he identified 26 different individual genres. Since that came out I know of at least one more that's come about you could add to the list. But that's only the starting point. Then you have bands that combine elements of those other ones or combine it with other genres entirely (I know of at least one who made a legit Jazz Metal song with Saxophone solos and everything). Then you have genres in different time periods or from different countries with their own spin on it. It can seem unbelievably intimidating at first but here's the thing. New to it or spent a lifetime listening to it everyone is still experiencing something they've never heard of for the first time that could be classified as Metal. It's a journey not a competition. It's expanding your horizons and experiencing something new and novel. That's what metal is really all about.
Jazz Metal with saxophone? Are you talking about Monsters by Blue Oyster Cult?
@@Leo_ofRedKeep There is that too, but I was thinking of Marty Friedman - "Meat Hook" that song is absolutely wild.
Parkway Drive is from your country, definitely need to check them out.
yes series
Some suggestions to ease you into the genre my lady: Crazy Train-Ozzy , One-Metallica, Looks That Kill-Motley Crue , Still of The Night- Whitesnake , Round and Round - Ratt , Black Star-Yngwie Malmsteen , and Ace of Spades- by Motörhead. That should have you jumping in the mosh pit in no time!
This is not an official video and a little misleading on the topic of the actual song. It's am anti war song and this is a fan video and fairly well done but this is video does give a first listener a little false view of the song. The singer is Ozzy Osborne who you probably have heard of from reality tv.
So back in the day, music did put more focus on the instrumental skill on music. Rock especially did this as it's a roots are from Jazz and old RnR. in the 60s-70s you'll hear a lot of guitars and drums in these genres back then.
Iron maiden - stranger in a strange land, flight of icarus, hallowed be thy name (live hammersmith 82)... Of the top of my head, but they have such an immense catalogue of good songs its pretty hard to give just a few suggestions
You need to do a symphonic metal band called Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live @ wacken 2013. Their fandom is amazing, and the band have so many different songs. You won't regret this at all!
This video is not an official video but fan made so don’t read into the video but listen to the music and lyrics. The song is an Aragorn for Vietnam war.
The video was made by a fan. It seems to have a lot in common with "Metropolis".
PLINI
also from Sydney
Instrumental music with beauty and heaviness.
You must watch the live performance in Paris. Look out for the drummer.
Yes it’s normal for a few minutes of solo guitars n drums
I find hard Rock and metal lyrics usually fall into 4 categories 1. Getting Laid and/or getting wasted. 2. Rebelling & Rocking forever
3. Fantasy worlds. Or 4. Deep thought provoking political, Social, moral and emotional situations and circumstances.
Oh darlin'. You have no idea how deep the rabbit hole is that you're about to fall down. Especially considering deep lyrics...AND (hopefully) your discovery of female-fronted metal bands. Nightwish, Jinjer, Unleash the Archers, etc. Don't worry...we'll be there to catch you when you finally fall through the bottom.
Finally some love for Unleash The Archers
