Polo, once that Sabbath gets in you its in you for good. The true godfathers of metal. Keep it up man. Great stuff...
i always felt ( cant speak for Ozzy) the song was about the disillusioned vets who were coming home from the Vietnam war when the song was written. and just couldnt reintegrate into society and turned to drug use to try and ease the pain..
anyway thats a rando's take on it.
I really enjoy your videos because we definitely have the same appreciation of the unique combination of badass souls that were the original lineup of Black Sabbath. Saw them at Winterland in San Francisco. Love your set, the vibe, the backdrop and kinetic art in the background. What would really great is to see you react to 'Into the Void' from Master of Reality. Quintessential masterpiece!
Geezer Butler, bass player and principal lyricist, wrote this song after seeing US soldiers returning from Vietnam addicted to drugs from the PTSD.
Interesting, thank you for that info. I never got into Sabbath very much, maybe a few songs, and I am just starting to listen to more of it. My dad's a nam vet, and we connect a lot with music, even if some (like anti flag) arn't his jam. I'm getting ready to document a lot of his war buddies stories, some that suffer with things this songs about, so I'm going to put it on my playlist.
"First it was the bomb,
Vietnam Napalm
Disillusioning,
you push the needle in."
"Electric Funeral" from this LP is about how we would die in an Atomic War....
Bill Ward is such an unbelievably great drummer!!!! He is up there with all the greats IMHO. His roots start with Jazz, all the greatest drummers have deep jazz roots. He called himself a percussionist.
Black Sabbath’s first 6 albums are basically perfect albums all the way through, and each one evolves their sound in some way.
Agree man 100%
Absolute TRUTH!
Absolutely Nothing wrong with their next two albums either. They are both above average albums for Sabbath.
Fax!
I love all 8
Black Sabbath are the godfathers of Heavy Metal & absolute legends, so whoever said they don't get why we like Sabbath has never even listened to them, never listened to them enough or are just completely oblivious to great music.
That being said, you should really give "Sign of the Southern Cross" by Black Sabbath a listen
Electric funeral is one of my favorites although not as mainstream as the others by original black Sabbath but has one of the most unique sounds you will ever here on metal
It’s such a great song.
It's the definition of Doom.
Thank you for opening you mind to my generations music.
Bill Ward is definitely the unsung member of Black Sabbath. He put his mark on many of Black Sabbath's songs. Really drove the beat home. Damn shame that he was done dirty for the final Sabbath tour(s)! Keep going strong, Polo!!
Pioneers. Their influence runs through more artists than we could ever name
This is probably my favorite Sabbath song. It’s amazing on so many levels.
Me too bro , it's epic.
Right!?!
I played this song in my car. my 12 year old granddaughter listened to it, and when it ended, she said "is that song about taking drugs"? I said yes. she said "grandad, I wont take drugs". thank you black sabbath.
Symptom of the universe is another good one like this by Sabbath
Legendary beat… Bill Ward is a beast! 🥁
Bill Ward is the TRUTH whole truth and nothing but the TRUTH!!!!!
Everything on point with this classic. Ward’s drums switching between rock and jazz, Ozzie’s vocals, the lyrics. Hard to do better than this. 🔥
53 years later, and this new generation is "Getting It" !! Thank to the "Inter-Web" !! Polo you've gone down a rabbit hole, you will never regret. Keep it UP !!
People either "get" Black Sabbath or they don't. You certainly get them. Thanks for the reaction. Great video!
As a 14-y.o. white boy in the early 80s, it was like a religion of mine to explain to people how Black Sabbath wrote lyrics that you could find in a church sermon.
After Forever was written in direct response to them being called a satanic band.
But they trained their fire on the sins of warmongers and politicians. That's why they had to be demonized. Of course if you read the lyrics they sing about peace and love, and decry violence, evil, greed and social decay. They are borderline Christian metal.
I read somewhere that the bass player considered the seminary in his younger days!
@@6699230 That kinda sounds right.
Osbourne, Iommi, Ward, Butler.. living legends. Great breakdown man.
Black Sabbath singularly formed the foundation of heavy metal.
I first heard Hand Of Doom in late 1970 when I was 8 years old. The Paranoid album was my first exposure to Black Sabbath. It scared the crap out of me. Sabbath changed my life, it really did. That album, and all the others, lead me down a path of musical discovery that I still walk on to this day. No regret.😎
Glad to see you respond especially the week Ozzy announced he is retiring duebto illness. The man has definitely earned it
You gotta remember/understand the music scene when Sabbath arrived. The Jackson 5. Simon & Garfunkel. This stuff was earth-shattering.
There was Hendrix, Cream, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beatles, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, plus many others who were fairly heavy like Iron Butterfly, and Led Zep who started around the same time and performed on the same stages around Birmingham and the Black Country.
Black Sabbath was the first real heavy music though, which is now known as metal, and the band that really started that genre.
@@martinmorris5997 yeah, good point. Good list.
@@martinmorris5997 Hendrix was def a huge influence on Sabbath and metal.
This might be their best song. Bill Ward has a 1980s hip hop drum beat in 1969.
I peeped that!!! 🤯
That's straight jazz
Any high school jazz band alumni would be happy to let you know that is a classic 50’s back beat jazz drum pattern with a little crash symbol for rock sake … a college music history 101 would go in to great detail of where that sound originated but…yeah… no😊
I was 20 years old when this came out.....yes. I'm old.😁
I was fifteen and its still good.
Sabbath is the start of metal . I have listened to them for over 45 years.
Hey Polo, your reaction takes me back. I wish I could relive the first time I heard Sabbath as a 6th or 7th grader. War Pigs was the first and that song changed my whole direction of music and consequently, my life path.
Sabbath was truly amazing. They were my favorite band for a while there - the godfathers of metal, and, more specifically, doom metal. This song is a prime example, though not their earliest. Black Sabbath (the song) and NIB are both from their first, self-titled album. It's chock-full of doom classics.
When you've no shoes but you've got ALL the chops.
I made my first Black Sabbath concert in 1971 my senior year in HS. I've been trying to make every Black Sabbath concert I could ever since. You have missed out on a lot of awesome music. I'm lucky to have been around for the music of the 60s and 70s. I started playing drums in bands around 1968 still working on learning how. Best time ever. I'm still mad at my mom for not letting me go with my older brother to Woodstock. LOL. No one at the time had any idea what Woodstock would turn out to be. I enjoy your show, I try to watch every time you post a new show. Amazing how much great music you don't know. But you're working on it.
have a great week.
In '75 I worked with a truck driver who would fly to Birmingham, UK & follow BS on their tour thru Europe & fly back to Des Moines when the tour ended. I always thought that was a clever idea!🙃
Black Sabbath pioneered the use of ‘mini movements’ in hard rock. Traveling along in the music then bam something else. A movement to another song within the song. The idea is not new. But it was new at the time for rock. Just went from one sound to another in the middle of the song. Brilliant and the drumming by Bill is of the chain. A complete band.
What I would give to rehear the black sabbath catalog for the first time again. So many memories.🤘🔥
Black Sabbath "The Wizard" is a must if you like funky groove music.
I AM SOOOO HAPPY YOU LOVE BLACK SABBATH!!!!! My absolute favorite ❤️
This was aimed at all the soldiers during Viet Nam who sometimes turned to drugs to escape the horrors that plagued them. The Horrors they witnessed and when they came home the people spat on them like they were responsible for it all. Btw I am a Viet nam vet. I had friends who was so tortured in their mind they ultimately committed suicide.
Life rule, never trust anyone that doesn't like Black Sabbath.
If this groove surprised you...u have to do planet caravan by sabbath 😁😁😁
That song is such a MOOD!!!!
My favorite quote about Sabbath is from Henry Rollins, paraphrased:
"The rhythm section of Black Sabbath is the sound of a man slow to anger clenching his fist"
I question anybody’s rock fan cred that says they don’t like Sabbath.
🤘🏼Black Sabbath CLASSIC 🤘🏼
That song is a PSA (warning label) by a guy that knows, and can sing it from his gut.
The first two albums were simply groundbreaking. The next albums were very good, but the first two were like nothing no else.
I put Bill Ward up there with John Bonham! Ward/Butler are phenomenal !
Whole album is just the best... My favorite is Fairies ware Boots..
That song is the one of the best in sabbath's catalogue I've loved this since hearing it when I was 11 years old my dad had Master of reality and I thought it was great and still do awesome record still jamming it at 47 😉💯🤘🏽
Sabbath is a top 3 band for me, the whole paranoid record is flawless, Black Sabbath created heavy metal 🤘
I've been listening to Sabbath for 50+ years. Thanks for exploring new worlds of music. I'm living vicariously through you. What kind of music are you into that you wish people knew about?
King's X
Sabbath and Tool you can’t go wrong
That whole album is 🔥🔥🔥. That's their 2nd Album. Released in 1970. I had them all!!!💯💯💯👍
Electric Funeral 🔥🔥🔥
This album had the biggest influence over my drumming than any other album ever. It’s hugely underrated. Also, Ozzy is a legend.
Sabbath was so pivotal for rock ‘n’ roll and heavy metal. Heavily influenced by blues and jazz. There’s nothing like a well put together sabbath song. I grew up on this SHXT!
The Hand of Doom is the hand that shooting heroin for all the soldiers and how they dealt with being in Vietnam as young men scared to death and how they coped withe fear, boredom, and not knowing if your going to die any day, minute or second! Sad but true stuff. All yhe music back then was about flowers, peace and love. Black Sabbath sung about the other side of life. It scared people, but it was real.
Early Sabbath is essentially R&B with distortion and occult/political themed lyrics. “Hand of Doom” being the prime example.
Hand of Doom is a progression where in the middle there's the heightened ecstasy of the drug and then at the end is the let down.
This song is at least in my top 10 Sabbath tunes.
For clarification, this would be in the Genre of Hard Rock. even though many will call Sabb the Originators of Metal Sound.
My envy is tempered by the happiness I feel for your discoveries. Planet Caravan.
When I was a young teen, never heard Black Sabbath in radio, but would go to house party band and kids were playing Them on 8 track and totally underground following. Check out NIB…
I was 16 years old when this album came out. I bought the 8 track, and I would lay in my room listening to it for hours. One of my favorite bands! Whoever said they don't get Black Sabbath; well, they just don't get real music. TOOOOO BAD!
This was my childhood. Black Sabbath, Leld Zeppelin and other rock bands of that Era. As a kid I would sit and listen to my fathers vinyl collection.
Slapped you right in the face with reality with good beat
Sabbath’s Paranoid is one of my ultimate no-skip albums. Start to finish, just perfection!
Children of the Grave is another great Sabbath song to check out.
This track is dark, gloomy and brilliant! Nice reaction Polo xx
My favourite Sabbath song
They are so….freaking…HARD!
Gotta do sweet leaf next!
Bill Ward is basically the inventor of the Hip Hop Beat - just listen, it’s right here
Best react channel. The research you do, the deep cuts you do, the amount of time and respect you give to the music. Good stuff brother.
Metallica opens many of their concerts with the last section of the song, apparently called The Ecstasy of Gold (singingl section). Possibly,most famously during the 1992 when the Soviet Union fell. They opened with an audience 1.5 million ppl. before Enter Sandman
22,000 English fought during the Vietnam War. The drugs and PTSD. This is about those that came back to England and never readjusted
First album I ever owned. Birthday present when I was 10 !!
Guys coming back from the 'Nam so broken, just trying to kill the pain with the white horse. I mean, Ozzy was no virgin, but these guys were shocked.
Simply as good as it gets
This is one of my favorite Sabbath songs 🎵 Sabbath and SKYNYRD are my favorite bands. Both are worthy of a rabbit hole search. Keep up the great work 👍
I'm a metal head. Listen to everything from Accept to Zeal and Ardor. Death, Black, Doom. Thrash and everything between. But Sabbth is by far my favorite band no matter the singer. For me they haven't done much wrong. Except for Forbidden. We don't talk about Forbidden.
Check out Electric Funeral
That sexy smoky drum and bass!
I always felt when the song changed is the high and then comedown at the end
Check out 'never say die', technical ecstasy' tracks..Wooow
Would love to see you do judas priest...victim of changes
Polo man you're Raw AF !
this song is easily in my top 3 sabbath songs. Tonys riffs are punishingly heavy, Bill Ward who's basically a jazz fusion drummer has perfect in the pocket groove playing and the explosive energy that is metal. this band was, is, and will continue to be an amazing influence to musicians and passionate listeners alike. Keep up these great reactions!
The fact that Tony lost a finger, work related, and made a prosthetic one is even more incredible.
@@brianfogle2743 he didn't lose a finger, he lost two of his finger tips, but yea.
A true classic.
I had almost all Black Sabbath albums,on cassette. Back in the day. One of my favorite bands.
Fuck ya eh brother ! That's the real good shit ! Soak it all in , it's magic. Enjoy !
Interesting comment you make about metal suddenly (musically) moving in other directions. One thing to keep in mind when listening to Black Sabbath, especially the first 8 albums, is that these songs are painting pictures. The mood at the beginning of 'Hand of Doom' is depressive, like the junkie's despair. The middle part - the pick up - is the euphoria, then the gradual descent through the guitar solo back to the gloom of the start. The high was an illusion - the junkie is back where he started and he is going to die.
When listening to Black Sabbath,
I always start with "The Wizard".
[Solo]
When I first listened to the album this one's on, I was already familiar with War Pigs, Iron Man and Paranoid, but not any of the other songs. My favourite was Planet Caravan, it was such a pleasant surprise, because I was not expecting a song like that. You'd probably be surprised, too. The lyrics and the way they're sung is some of the most beautiful I've heard.
You should check out their song “Fairies Wear Boots”, and “The Wizard” are also 🔥
Black Sabbath is my go to. The first 6 albums are amazing from start to finish.
Yup
Love, love, love your stank face❤❤
A true sign you are enjoying the ride.
Polo, sabbath is awesome! I listen to all of the underated or b-sides! I fkn love them!¡
bill ward is incredible
The song over and in itself if a bomb track, But once you come to understand the lyrics, and what they are talking about. It takes it to a whole other level.
Bill Ward is beating the hell out of those drums
yup The Hand of Doom is at the end of YOUR own wrist
My fav Black Sabbath song u need to listen to Fairy’s Wear Boots but you need to here it live from the speak of the Devil album
mann i fooking love this song
Have to do Nib and into the void. Such good songs and are a must when it comes to black sabbath!!
