The same why is he still alive. Though science has studied him and they say it's his special genetic make up that has saved him! Most would be dead now. But Ozzys genes kept him alive. I remember reading about it. I'm not sure if that was the time when they found out he had Parkinson's 2????
Bassist is Geezer Butler, one of the finest bass players and song writers to have walked the Earth. He has written most of the classic Black Sabbath lyrics.
take out one of and just leave the finest and i agree 1000% with your statement. the only thing this performance was missing was the drum god Bill Ward
Always amazes me how the little island of Great Britain produces so many iconic bands and musicians. The list is endless. Must be something in the beer.
In the first "Iron Man" movie, starring Robert Downey, Jr., they used the Black Sabbath song "Iron Man" over the closing credits. Ozzy, Tony, Geezer and the dude from RATM on drums. Live from Australia. From the same show I would recommend "Fairies Wear Boots".
One of the most iconic heavy metal songs. Over 50 years later and still continues to inspire generations of rock bands and teens to get into the world of metal ahd hard rock. Did you also notice that Tony plays guitar with what looks like thimbles on his fret playing hand? He does that because back when Sabbath was formed he had an accident at his workplace where his fingertips of two or three fingers were severed. He had to tune his guitar strings down so he could literally feel the music creating the foundation of heavy metal. The song Iron Man has nothing to do with the superhero. The whole band was amazing, but the member that tends to get overlooked was their original drummer ( unfortunately he didnt play on the last tour or album) Bill Ward. Check out a live performance from either the late 60s or eariy 70s for Sabbath and you'll see what i mean. I'd put him in the same class as Bonham, Moon and Ginger Baker from Cream, who you just recently checked out.
The song and comic aren't related. The song is about a time traveling iron man who tries to warn people of the apocalypse, but they don't believe him. So he kills them all, bringing forth the apocalypse he tried to warn them about.
Black Sabbath ' Ironman ' 🤘🏻😆 Did you know that: Bassist ' Geezer Butler ', Black Sabbath, (* here), has his son ' Terry Butler ' playing bass for now called FL thrash metal band, Obituary " DEUCES! " ✌🏻😸✌🏻
I still remember seeing them live at the o2 Arena on this tour like it was yesterday. Sitting right by the stage, the flames so hot it felt like my eyebrows were being burnt off, the bass shaking the chair. It was incredible.
@@Hayley.a VERY envious you got to see Dio live 😅 Haven't yet been able to see Rammstein live, but I live for the day because - by all accounts - it's like being in a furnace with all the pyro they use 😯😁
@@JBW27 I have to admit it was only because my sister really wanted to go and see him. He was her favourite from the second she heard him. So that is why I went and I tell you I'm really glad I did! When I was younger my sister used to drive me mad it was always Dio and nothing else. She is older than me. But I love listening to him now. And I oddly know all the words to songs I don't even know I knew. Hummm wonder why lol I was force fed it, but tbh to could have been much much worse lol
One of the first metal songs I ever remember hearing; it's not THE first, that was Led Zeppelin "Black Dog" but I was only 5 or 6 at the time! And a metalhead was born.
Black Sabbath songs: - Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots - The Wizard - N.i.B. ( Nativity in Black) - Snowblind - War Pigs (* also covered by ' Faith No More ', check THAT out!) ... ... & lots more that I'm sure other T(h)rash Tawkers here will comment ✌🏻😸✌🏻
Note the drummer is Mike Bordin - first famous in Faith No More, also played with Ozzy solo stuff for a long time - fitting they bring him in for Sabbath.
Just an FYI: the song isn't about the comic book character. "The lyrics, composed by bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler, tell the story of a man who travels into the future and sees the apocalypse. In the process of returning to the present to warn the human race, he is turned into steel by a magnetic field and his attempts to warn the public are ignored and mocked." From Wikipedia.
Actually guys, Tony Iommi is genuinely an “ Iron Man”. ( even Ozzy calls him that), for recovering from 1) losing the tips of three fingers on his right hand aged 17 , 2) a near fatal car crash at 19 and 3) two different forms of cancer in his 60’s. Met him once in Birmingham about 1976/7, in a pub. Nice normal guy. Legend.
I saw Ozzy Fest in 16' in So Cal. Last Black Sabbath show ever in California. Megadeth, Disturbed, Black Lable Society,. Suicide Tendencies. Great memories
Omg.....watching this, then remembering first seeing Black Sabbath live at a music festival - Toronto 1971. 52 years later & they still have me maniacally bouncing my head. Thanks for the memories guys! BTW - with over 400 wildfires now burning in Canada, we need all those bloody lakes!
Great song, see it also at the California Jam in 1974, they in their prime and kill it. Also, the last album they did a decade ago, when they got together for one last reunion tour, was called '13' and is loaded with great new Sabbath songs, try the live video of them doing the 'Loaner' and see what I mean, it is better than their last 2 albums in their 70s run for me, it is surprisingly good. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
To imagine how music would have been influenced/impacted if Tony had let his accident prevent him from playing guitar all of these years. He's friggin' SICK, especially with the prosthetic fingertips!
The vocal alteration on the beginning inspired me to build one of my first electronic sound modified devices way back then called the ring modulator also known as an amplitude modulator which makes that hard harsh voice when he says first says Iron Man
Iron Man was released in 1970 and Ozzie is 74...born in October, 1948. If you haven't done it yet, try War Pigs or Paranoid. Black Sabbath was YEARS ahead of their time. Just calling them an iconic band is an understatement.
My favorite Black Sabbath. My Dad used to give me change to play it on the jukebox, when we went to our favorite pizza place. He was into country music. I don't know if he actually liked it, or just humored me.
It's very crazy to hear a tune like this that has been in my brain for as long as I can remember. Honestly since my older cousin turn me on to Heavy Music when I was around 11 or 12 this song has just always been there and to hear it go through so many permutations and be covered so often and only to settle very nobly at the top of the heat fifty years later practically and still be remembered so fondly as a testament to just what a great moment in time they managed to capture initially. It's got everything Sabbath was ever great about, killer riff at the vet diverse Arrangement that the. Killer solos what can you say? It's fucking Black Sabbath.
Word. I really think you (and other reactors covering Black Sabbath) should take a look at the 2013 album "13". Its the last studio album from Black Sabbath and showcases the sound they invented in 1970. "End of The Beginning" is an especially strong track that features everything that makes them great.
@@vicprovost2561 im kinda surprised that for all the Black Sabbath content that reactors are doing, no one has looked at this. I think it would impress alot of people to hear that these old geezers can still rock hard. Iommi's solos on "End of The Beginning" are sooo dope.
@@jorel80 Totally agree, there are a few candidates on 13 that reactors should check out. First saw them in the 70s and lastly on the last tour, 10 years ago. They were great to start and right to the end, Sabbath forever!
I saw Ozzy in concert in the late 80s with Metallica as his opener right before Metallica started headlining their own shows. I think I was 17. It’s still the best live show I’ve ever seen. I would have loved to have seen him with Sabbath. 🤘😁🔥✌️❤️ Thanks guys great reaction as always 🥰
I have seen Ozzy with Black Sabbath and solo. He is a maniac, and he definitely knows how to whip a crowd into a frenzy. I really hated it that they didn’t stop here in Cleveland on their final tour. Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has a book coming out this week. I can’t wait to read that one. Ozzy’s book was pretty awesome too.
Many many happy memories associated with this song. Mom had a record player and of course a Black Sabbath albilm. Mostly played on the weekends, Of course when the 7 year olds got a hold of the record player you put it on the higher speed to sound like the chipmunks. Black Sabbath is a classic in my household.
You know, I saw them back in 2012 at Download and was somewhat underwhelmed, and this was back when they were on the beginning of their long farewell. This one definitely has a lot more energy, even for being a little slower and in a lower key to account for Ozzy's singing voice (always somewhat limited) being significantly weaker than at his peak. Nevertheless, as someone born and raised in Birmingham, the smoky, grimy origin of Mk 1 Sabbath, there is never EVER a bad time to hear this track. 😊
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh............... A great pick doing this classic 🤘🤘🤘 And your reflection(s) are spot on. Some new suggestions b.t.w. America - A Horse with No Name Simple Minds - Sons and Fascination Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs The Smiths - How Soon is Now Point Blank - Stars & Scars followed by Uncle Ned (just to showcase how damned good they were both soft and gentle and then hard as nails....oh those guitars....). Rock On dudes.
From songfacts, "This song is about a man who travels through time and sees the end of the world. On his way back to Earth to warn the human race, he goes through a magnetic storm and is turned to iron. Nobody believes him about the end of the world and he gets mad, taking his rage out on the human race, thus bringing about the end of the world that he saw."
The lyrics, composed by bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler, tell the story of a man who travels into the future and sees the apocalypse. In the process of returning to the present to warn the human race, he is turned into steel by a magnetic field and his attempts to warn the public are ignored and mocked. Feeling shunned and alone, Iron Man plans his revenge on mankind, causing the apocalypse seen in his vision.
Iron man #1 (comic) came out 1968 Black Sabbath recorded the Iron man in October 1971 it's in the Paranoid Album the song is about the Origin of Iron Man (tony stark) died and came back ,, remember his Heart has a Battery And He Killed all those Terrorist that kidnapped him..
Lyrically it's a sci-fi story with Christ undertones. It's literally about a man who traveled through time to prevent the destruction of mankind and was turned to living steel in the process. Back in the present after saving the world he is forgotten, mistreated and abused and fills with anger until the point he destroys the people he once saved, fulfilling a pardox wherein HE is the evil that threatened mankind to begin with. It's a potent statement about the inherent selfishness and darkness of humanity. The protagonist is never stated or intended to be a pure or selfless person. But he did not KNOW this about himself. His flaws were buried.It's a trippy as fuck 60's drug fueled vision of a normal man thrust into this savior / Christ role he was not prepared for and succumbing to human weakness. A perfect illustration of both the inherent light and darkness of humanity. XD That's the STORY of the song. In reality...it's obvious they were talking about the veterans of the vietnam war. Many left homeless, hated, ostracized by society. "iron men" hated, ignored, mistreated and abandoned by the people they once saved.
I don’t think they needed permission from marvel for this. I think this may have came out before the iron man comics, and you guys are right this is a different entity iron man.
The way Ozzys voice aged, is a blessing when it came to Sabbath. The shaky and decrepit feel almost fits Tony's sludgey tone too well. Try Snowblind, Live, Gathered in their masses in 2013. It's hands down the best live performance of that song
Sealand is actually the smallest country in the world. It's a oil platform that is its own sovereign nation. Even has a educational system and it's own currency. It's a great story. They started it as a radio station because rock and roll was illegal to play on the radio. (Or something like that) it's been years since I read that story so I may have some facts mixed up. Worth a few minutes to do some research.
One of life's great mysteries
Ozzy's speech, unintelligible
Ozzy's singing, crystal clear
The same why is he still alive.
Though science has studied him and they say it's his special genetic make up that has saved him!
Most would be dead now.
But Ozzys genes kept him alive.
I remember reading about it.
I'm not sure if that was the time when they found out he had Parkinson's 2????
Ozzy sings from his heart, it's his brain that's messed up from drug use, that's why.
It’s not a mystery at all. Speech comes from a different part of the brain
@Hayley Ozzy and Keith Richards will outlive the apocalypse.
Bassist is Geezer Butler, one of the finest bass players and song writers to have walked the Earth. He has written most of the classic Black Sabbath lyrics.

You are so right, the list is endless, from the Beatles to Black Sabbath and so many more.

Terry Butler is playing bass for FL thrash metal band Obituary ...
He’s far more impressive than iomi to me

' Ironman '
🤘🏻😆
Did you know that:
Bassist ' Geezer Butler ',
Black Sabbath, (* here), has his son
' Terry Butler ' playing bass for now called
FL thrash metal band, Obituary
" DEUCES! "
✌🏻😸✌🏻
Ozzy is 74 years old now. He'll be 75 in December.
I still remember seeing them live at the o2 Arena on this tour like it was yesterday. Sitting right by the stage, the flames so hot it felt like my eyebrows were being burnt off, the bass shaking the chair. It was incredible.
That is how my eyebrows felt at a Dio gig. I was on the balcony and it was quite close to the stage so I think my eyebrows got the full force lol
@@Hayley.a VERY envious you got to see Dio live 😅 Haven't yet been able to see Rammstein live, but I live for the day because - by all accounts - it's like being in a furnace with all the pyro they use 😯😁

She is older than me.
But I love listening to him now.
And I oddly know all the words to songs I don't even know I knew.
Hummm wonder why lol
I was force fed it, but tbh to could have been much much worse lol
(Probably) one of the best, most well known riffs of all time!! The movie put this song on the map for the kids
Geezer is the lyric writer also. Ozzy knows exactly what he's doing. Whipping the crowd into a fury.
One of the first metal songs I ever remember hearing; it's not THE first, that was Led Zeppelin "Black Dog" but I was only 5 or 6 at the time! And a metalhead was born.
As we ALL KNOW they can & do deliver some iconic bangers,, BUT,, They can also deliver beauty,, Black Sabbath "Planet Caravan" & "Changes"
Black Sabbath songs:
- Black Sabbath
- Fairies Wear Boots
- The Wizard
- N.i.B. ( Nativity in Black)
- Snowblind
- War Pigs

...
... & lots more that I'm sure other

✌🏻😸✌🏻
Awesome video, guys! It would be cool if you reacted to Fairies Wear Boots by Black Sabbath!
The Road Warriors used this song as their walk-out music in their early days. My intro to metal as a 5 year-old.
There is no Marvel's IRON MAN Movie without this Song !......this was their LAST SHOW EVER in their Hometown Birmingham.....
Note the drummer is Mike Bordin - first famous in Faith No More, also played with Ozzy solo stuff for a long time - fitting they bring him in for Sabbath.
Iconicism!!!

Ahhhh yeah! Iron Man! My introduction to Black Sabbath! I love the song but I learned quickly they have much better songs in their catalog! 🤘🏼💙🤘🏼
More Sabbath!! 🤘🏻
Snowblind
Under the sun
Megalomania
Up next!? 😁
Long live Ozzy and the boys! Love seeing them smile and still having a good time doing their thang. 😈🤘🙌🔥
Ozzy is born 03.12.1948 so he is now 74 Years old !!!!!

Now you need to find the younger live version where they have a giant robot walking on stage
Ozzy was at church, Hollywood. The church of Metal 🤘🏼
I saw Sabbath live about 10 years ago in what I thought would be my last chance 😂😂
I had so many more chances
I saw Ozzy Fest in 16' in So Cal. Last Black Sabbath show ever in California. Megadeth, Disturbed, Black Lable Society,. Suicide Tendencies. Great memories
I always equate this song with the old sci-fi movie ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’. Klaatu barada nikto…. It fits.
That is geezer Butler on the bass. He just kills it in the song as well as other Sabbath tunes.
My friends and I used to party to this album!
Omg.....watching this, then remembering first seeing Black Sabbath live at a music festival - Toronto 1971. 52 years later & they still have me maniacally bouncing my head.
Thanks for the memories guys!
BTW - with over 400 wildfires now burning in Canada, we need all those bloody lakes!
Watch Black Sabbath 1977 at Olympen, Lund, Sweden, Ac/Dc fronted😊... still get electric when I listen🎉😊
Top tier comedy watching Hollywood with that bat. Had me cracking up 😂

ring modulator
also known as an

which makes that hard harsh voice when he says first says
Iron Man
Had the pleasure of seeing Ozzy during Zakk Wylde days and the first Sabbath reunion at Ozzfest, where I also saw slipknot and Disturbed.
Tony Iommi, the originator, the icon, the legend!
I remember getting this album on 8 track and blasting it in my 1965 Mustang.
fun fact about this song, rapper busta rhymes did his own version of this called this means war, and even brought ozzy to sing on it
you guys should do after forever by sabbath next!

Just pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Morning guys! Lol Hollywood your gonna make that bats head fall off! Haha!!! Love this song! Great choice guys!❤️🤓
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...............
A great pick doing this classic 🤘🤘🤘
And your reflection(s) are spot on.
Some new suggestions b.t.w.
America - A Horse with No Name
Simple Minds - Sons and Fascination
Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs
The Smiths - How Soon is Now
Point Blank - Stars & Scars followed by Uncle Ned (just to showcase how damned good they were both soft and gentle and then hard as nails....oh those guitars....).
Rock On dudes.
I agree with the Smith how soon is now that is an amazing song!
Ozzy is actually 74 years old, guys.
Black Sabbath performed their final tour The End in 2016-2017
I found this album at a bus stop back in the 70s I was 14 and even though I liked it it was a oldie at the time. 😂 Amazing it’s still being heard
Probably the heaviest song ever played,
Or Children of the Grave
Great one guys fun story i used to think the song Said and sing Ozzy lost is mind when i was younger 🤟
That bat is hysterical!😅
At least Ozzy remembers the lyrics at old age....Vince Neil..?`xD
Watch black sabbath live in Paris 1970 absolutely brilliant
Sabbath stand alone.
🦇
From songfacts, "This song is about a man who travels through time and sees the end of the world. On his way back to Earth to warn the human race, he goes through a magnetic storm and is turned to iron.

🔥
The lyrics, composed by bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler, tell the story of a man who travels into the future and sees the apocalypse. In the process of returning to the present to warn the human race, he is turned into steel by a magnetic field and his attempts to warn the public are ignored and mocked. Feeling shunned and alone, Iron Man plans his revenge on mankind, causing the apocalypse seen in his vision.
So I think that outside of Keef Richards, it's Ozzy. Keef I think is about 140 years old.
Iron man #1 (comic) came out 1968 Black Sabbath recorded the Iron man in October 1971 it's in the Paranoid Album
the song is about the Origin of Iron Man (tony stark) died and came back ,, remember his Heart has a Battery And He Killed
all those Terrorist that kidnapped him..

I want an Ozzy bat!
I can't believe Ozzy didnt cuss in this song. I believe every other song has at least 13 F bombs in it. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love Iron Man 🤘🎶
Guys do we need to joke about how old he is in EVERY video?! Other than that great reaction.
I don’t think they needed permission from marvel for this. I think this may have came out before the iron man comics, and you guys are right this is a different entity iron man.
You guys should check out electric funeral or fairies wear boots by sabbath album version
Should be about Bjorn Ironside
Very cool performance but you gotta watch the original live version.
The way Ozzys voice aged, is a blessing when it came to Sabbath. The shaky and decrepit feel almost fits Tony's sludgey tone too well.
Try Snowblind, Live, Gathered in their masses in 2013. It's hands down the best live performance of that song

How great was this performance 🔥
Based on the old comic books.
Twisted insane underground psycho plz plz
While this is awesome, the original studio version with Iomi making the Iron Man sound with the guitar will always be my favorite
U nesd aew 1970 live version
For next slipknot Saturday can yall please react to finale by slipknot, in memory of Craig Jones who has left the band earlier today.
