Looking through the windows from that vantage point they could see a load of skinheads partying in one of the houses. Possibly apocryphal, but I like the idea

      Butler stated the song was a reference to skinheads and LSD. Ozzy has also stated the song was about LSD and at other times saying he can't remember what it was supposed to be about. Iommi said it was about skinheads but the lyrics became more fanciful most likely due to the drugs they were using at the time.

    The story behind the song is funny originally Ozzy came up with the idea after getting into a confrontation with skinheads who called him a fairy couldn’t figure out how to write a whole song about it so then just went off about An experience with LSD. In the mid 2000s they asked him what the song is about in an interview he said honestly I don’t remember at all. God bless ozzy. Also a gnome in tactical boots? Lmao lex

      People just need to face it. Drugs were a huge part of early rock and it influenced how people both created music and how people listened to it. If you didn't 'do' drugs, most of it sounded like noise. Eventually Bands became more proficient at creating that ole 'hippie' music. I don't expect people to 'get it' today - but that's alright.

    This was 1970 and the only place you heard Black Sabbath was on fm, dungeon, radio. No one listened to FM , it was all AM radio. Like WLS from Chicago who in 1970 was still playing the Archie's Sugar,Sugar. The songs on AM were upbeat and less than 3 minutes long. Music was changing, with Black Sabbath, Led Zepplin putting a twist on rock no one had heard. Zep more towards the bluesy mystical rock, while Black Sabbath towards a darker more metal sound.
    You could only hear them on underground FM stations where the DJ's were half-stoned and would flip on and play a whole album side. (most record sales in 60's were 45 rpm single songs as opposed to 33 rpm full albums) This was totally different and with FM the quality vs AM was crystal clear.

    Funny story about this song is back in the day before stardom Sabbath had some trouble with some local Skinheads that hated their long hippy hair styles. So skinhead dudes usually wear combat boots and that's the story. Fairies Wear Boots are the skinheads. Another funny story or joke is that Geezer Butler's mom called and asked them tell him to turn his bass guitar down because it's too loud. They were in New York and mom was in England. What I enjoy about this band is that their sound has a blues element with Tony Iommi on lead guitar

    I think after a couple of listens, you come to appreciate the bass and drum work on this, can pass you by when you're first trying to get a handle on the overall song. My next few Sabbath choices for you guys would be Symptom of the Universe, Snowblind, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Symptom especially has one of those mellow outros you like so much Lex.

    Brad nailed it with his comment, " try-hard darkness" describes so much of the newer metal that comes out. All these singers trying to sing like demons sound like what a 12 year old would find scary, it just comes across immature and put-on. You really want to hear some scary vocals, check out the album Houdini by the Melvins, Buzz Osborne scares the crap out of me sometimes.

    Brad & Lex - I would imagine there is always some pressure to love a song as much as your fans - and this song is well loved by metal fans - but i'm glad that you are being honest in your reactions. I love this song and Black Dog as well - but i love your reactions because I believe they're sincere. And authentic. So i love that you are being honest. Not your favorite Black Sabbath song? That's ok. There's plenty more to choose from. Also - it's worth noting that this is the last song on their 2nd album 'Paranoid.' Listening to it as a stand-alone song is a very different experience than listening to the entire album and finishing with this song. I hope you are willing to do more Black Sabbath. Thank you for your reactions.

He had to go and get Rabbie shots from the whole deal also.

    The "faires wearing boots" are actually the skinheads who used to try and beat black sabbath up. They had a running battle with sabbath. So the song is actually about skinheads and drugs.

  • @pebblehilllane
    @pebblehilllane Рік тому

    There's two stories about what the song was about. One is the lyrics were inspired by an incident after a Sabbath concert in 1970. The band was attacked by a bunch of Skinheads, wearing boots, after the show, injuring Tony Iommi and forcing them to cancel their next performance. He also said "We smoked a lot of dope, so that might be why some of the lyrics are a bit unusual." The other story is Geezer and Ozzy were smoking pot and saw fairies in boots running around a park. Most people believe the first of the two stories is the inspiration for the song.

  • @qgodsey3750
    @qgodsey3750 2 роки тому +1

    This song is off from the 2nd album, Paranoid , the story behind the song is about kids trying to dress up like skinheads with those boots or something like that. But , the whole groove of the song is so freakin good and tight as a drummer, it’s really fun to play!

  • @MrDeadstu
    @MrDeadstu 2 роки тому +2

    "I looked out a window..." Ozzy is talking about "window-pane acid" from back then (1970's).
    While on acid, Ozzy saw some skin-heads ( shaved-head racists that usually wore big boots - possibly Doc Martins) thus FAIRIES wear boots.
    It is a knock the on the racist skin-heads of the time.
    BTW Ozzy was a true showman - thus the biting heads off bats was for show - all press is good press as they say - it made him famous.
    Also - when ever you see any drawings of fairies, elves and the such, they always have boots on.....hmmm.

    Geezer, the bassist, said they were walking along one night and passed by a house party, where a group of skin heads wearing combat boots were on the porch. They thought they looked and behaved like clowns, and that was the inspiration for Fairies Wear Boots.

    This song is a combination. Yes, a bit psychedelic but it is also based on an experience the members had with a run-in with skinheads after a show, wearing of course, combat boots, which is being made light of here. Tony Iommi was actually injured in that run-in and the next show had to be cancelled. One of my favorite Sabbath tunes, so hopefully it will grow on you a bit!
