why do you think i dont want to enlist myself or get drafted to war although they are removing the soldiers in afghan I still wont go even if they need recruits
There was an interview with drummer Bill Ward where he spoke about playing this live in the US and seeing the reaction of Vietnam veterans to the song. He was still emotional about it all those years later.
I think I saw that! I believe the Veterans in wheel chairs were helped to their feet to stand for the song!!! Shit! I'm tearing up merely Thinking about that! What a moment in Rock - Heavy Rock! and Black Sabbath were the pioneers!
Deep purple was the first heavy metal band my friend. I saw them in 1967, three years before sabbath. But metal took all its roots from the greatest guitar player in history- jimi hendrix. I saw hendrix on 1969 and when sabbath came out we all thought they were just hendrix wannabes. Hendrix is the true originator of metal.
@@gordkolle-bl1ci i don’t agree with Deep Purple cause they weren’t that heavy in their beginnings but i will absolutely agree with you about Jimi Hendrix. He was the greatest guitarist ever and he was pretty dam heavy, but i think Sabbath really kicked it all off. Nobody had Tony’s low heavy sound that made u wanna tear shit up when u heard it before him.
As a huge fan of Black Sabbath, and someone who literally travelled the world to see them live, I ALWAYS enjoy seeing peoples reactions to their music. I have heard this song hundreds and hundreds of times, but it’s always fresh when I look at it through other peoples reactions.
@shawnasears Right? Like I have virtually traveled the world to see them, videos in from other countries, that guy *literally* traveled the world. That shouldn't be hard to understand.
Black Sabbath were a socially conscious band while the lunatic fringe were calling them Satan worshipers. Their music was so heavy and shocking that a lot of people just ignored the lyrics.
True but we all know that ozzy is a lunatic, man turned up to the audition with a pet shoe 🤦🏽♂️, still makes me proud I grew up just down the road in walsall
This is true & what I told them in my comment- You're only scratching the surface. They had tons of songs & if there was never no Black Sabbath. There would've never been no Ozzy Osbourne! The guitar player Toni Iommi is who all metal guitar players looked up to & wanted to play like. Everyone from Dave Mustaine of MegADetH, James Hetfield & Kirk Hammett of MetallicA, Dimebag Darrell of PanterA & many other metal guitarists. Tony Iommi & Black Sabbath created Heavy Metal.
I was at Judas Priest show and Qar Pigs played on the PA right before they took the stage. The whole crowd sung along. I've heard them play it live, and it was just as powerful to hear a crowd sing to the recording verses the live profomence.
I was at a Sabbath concert when this happened I had shivers, chills, sweats, tears and the biggest smile on my face. one of the most powerful experiences of my 60 year life if not THE most powerful.
@Old Crow All else fails, you called Dio. Fact of the matter still remains, replacing a lead singer an still selling platinum says... There's someone. RJD
Seriously all bands have an original sound we all love but you really cannot dismiss the work of RJD and Tony Martin he was also outstanding with Sabbath. To your point yes the original is the original but Sabbath post Ozzy was still amazing!
Each word of the lyrics still rings true even in 2021. The video complimented the song. Good to see people love this legendary rock song, including my 16 year old who is mesmorized by the lyrics and the music.
It rehashes the same theme that has applied to almost every war: “It’s a rich man’s war but a poor man’s fight.” If we turned on those fomenting these wars like we allow them to turn us upon ourselves then we could end the cycle..
Loved the reaction. I am always amazed when people know who Ozzy Osbourne is, but not that he is a living legend, and he earned that by being one hell of a vocalist and performer.
Love Ozzy, the bands from the sixties and seventies grasped, understood the concept of us in wars we didn't belong in and had no issues singing about it
@@3rdcoastobs467 I was young but what's going on right now feels like the Carter years in the 70s. But hey we got the Orange Man out congratulations America elections have consequences .
My mom grew up in Germany during World War II, and lived under both Hitler and (after the war) Stalin. The emotional scars were with her always, and led to her early death. I think War Pigs, more than any other anti-war song, captures the truly evil nature of war. Especially when Ozzie sings about the people at the top using the people at the bottom--the poor--as sacrificial pawns for feeding their own egos and greed. Thank you for reacting to this!
Ozzy had (has) one of the most haunting voices of all time. Remember this song was released during the Vietnam war. While controversial, this music fit the times. A lot of folks never really tried to understand what the band was saying and tried to write off heavy metal as some genre for devil worshipers and conspiracy theorists. You have to ask yourself if this was written today, would it receive the same criticisms. Probably yes, but for different reasons.
Just to let You know @Shawn and Mel Tony Iommi the lead guitarist. Missing the tips of 2 of his fingers. He homemade finger tip covers, after an accident at the Steel Mill he worked at.
This was Vietnam Era protest rock. The video is heavily influenced by 1984. As for Black Sabbath, there's a lot to go through, and it's hard to go wrong.
Satan's been coming for a long time, this epic song goes back 50 years or thereabouts, this is what us kiddies in the seventies listened to, mind blowing eh!
Remember, we were still fighting in Vietnam when this came out in 1970. A little historical perspective; not to reject your interpretation, you're dead-on with that as well!
A classic anti-war song done in heavy metal. Listened to this while in the Navy and at sea off the coast of Vietnam in 1971. Would get high when listening to Black Sabbath this was during the Vietnam War. Helped us to keep our sanity.
There was never a video to that song when it came out...way too early for that. The video was made by a fan and I love it! I love that dystopian yet timeless feel to it...CCTV cameras...war never changes, just the weapons get more powerful
First heard this aged around 13, we listened to Hendrix, cream, led zep and the groundhogs, great times. However Sabbath were the first and greatest heavy metal band ever. GOD bless you all ✌
Kick ass and I was born in 1963 when the Vietnam war was going on and had family over there and I learned that life is only good when we can look out for one another thank you for playing War Pigs
Its still amazing seeing Ozzy sing this LIVE after all the shit he's done w/ Sabbath and as a solo Artist from 1969 - Now. Seeing him in Bristow VA in 2018 you can still understand everything so clearly.
You guys' reaction hearing this song for the first time is the same as my reaction hearing it for the millionth. Music is a beautiful connection between humans.
I used to drive thought Redmond Oregon in my 68' firebird, cobalt blue black vinyl top black interior slammed in the front shackled in the back. Purple hornies exhaust. Buddies and i just thinking we were so dam cool. Blasting Black Sabbath " Fairies Weir Boots ". In a cowboy town.even though i lived and worked on a ranch myself. I just rounded up cattle on a motorcycle.🤘🤣👍🇺🇸
The horrors of the military- industrial -complex ,lamented by Sabbath on this one..The defense establishment and their misdeeds on full display in this classic rocker
Ephesians 6:12 for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities , against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
One of the best anti-war songs of all time. May I suggest other anti-war songs of the same period...late 60’s early 70’s. CCR “Fortunate Son” and “Run through the jungle” Creedence Clearwater Revival ✌️
I got to see them twice in one year, they are the creators of heavy metal, some would argue it was motorhead, Lemmy would say Ozzy, Ozzy would say Lemmy, either way it's a win win, I've seen them both and rocked out to both, R.I.P Lemmy.
This is THEE anti-war song. Hard to believe it came out in 1970 and is still relevant today.
Timeless. Timeless because sadly, there will always be wars.
Same as Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix!
Say that to Israel
That's because war never changes
So spot on mate!
It's shocking because it's true. Was written over 53 years ago.
Still true today
Album released September 18th, 1970. Same day Jimi Hendrix died.
Yes, I was in high school.
@@marinamartinez6886 , one of the first bands I ever listened to that wasn't my Mom and Dad's music!
why do you think i dont want to enlist myself or get drafted to war although they are removing the soldiers in afghan I still wont go even if they need recruits

Bill Ward is my favorite drummer of all time. RAT SALAD.
Bill Ward is a drumming God. Check out Rat Salad, it's an instrumental.
Bill Ward showed up to go on their first tour in a pair of shorts, carrying a suitcase full of beer.
I think I saw that! I believe the Veterans in wheel chairs were helped to their feet to stand for the song!!! Shit! I'm tearing up merely Thinking about that! What a moment in Rock - Heavy Rock! and Black Sabbath were the pioneers!

This is the band that invented Heavy Metal. They were the first real “metal” band

I think you need to look up the word 'literally'.@shawnasears
@shawnasears
Right?
Like I have virtually traveled the world to see them, videos in from other countries, that guy *literally* traveled the world.
That shouldn't be hard to understand.
Black Sabbath were a socially conscious band while the lunatic fringe were calling them Satan worshipers.

the fathers of metal
True but we all know that ozzy is a lunatic, man turned up to the audition with a pet shoe 🤦🏽♂️, still makes me proud I grew up just down the road in walsall
They say that about most woke People.
Much like Tool has been vilified in the same way.
Much of the songs that spoke about Satan seemed to actually be warning people to turn away from evil...
Ozzy Osbourne was absolutely astounding in his youth wasn't he.
🤟😎
He still is
Ozzy & Randy Rhodes were & still is in a class of their own
Yes he was a fkn powerhouse front man !!
The new sabbath album is pretty good. Loner is a awesome song.
Black Sabbath are the "Godfather(s)" of "heavy" metal. Please keep digging 😉✌S&M Squad! ✊

What’s so badass is at a Black Sabbath show the whole crowd sings the lyrics and it will give you chills.
I was at Judas Priest show and Qar Pigs played on the PA right before they took the stage. The whole crowd sung along. I've heard them play it live, and it was just as powerful to hear a crowd sing to the recording verses the live profomence.
I was at a Sabbath concert when this happened I had shivers, chills, sweats, tears and the biggest smile on my face. one of the most powerful experiences of my 60 year life if not THE most powerful.
Such a classic, my favorite Black Sabbath track and has such a powerful meaning, with amazing guitar and drum work
💥👍💥👍💥👍💥😎
Who can replace Ozzie ... NO ONE " Iron man" " Electric Funeral " 🔥🔥 ✌❤🤘
Ronni James Dio.
@Old Crow All else fails, you called Dio. Fact of the matter still remains, replacing a lead singer an still selling platinum says... There's someone. RJD
Seriously all bands have an original sound we all love but you really cannot dismiss the work of RJD and Tony Martin he was also outstanding with Sabbath. To your point yes the original is the original but Sabbath post Ozzy was still amazing!
That video yanks tears from my eyes. Love the relevance. Black Sabbath is my all-time favorite.
Each word of the lyrics still rings true even in 2021. The video complimented the song. Good to see people love this legendary rock song, including my 16 year old who is mesmorized by the lyrics and the music.
Maybe even more so today. May God have mercy on our souls.☮️
To think that was over 50 years ago. Some music, never ages.
Shawn, the sobering look on your face when this track started was priceless!! Took you off guard!
Ozzy Osbourne is one of a kind there will never be another
EVERYBODY is one of a kind.
I dread the day we lose Ozzy , that will be like losing a dear friend, I can't think about it. Grew up to Ozzy
I'm so glad post Malone gave him that big break he needed. ☺
What big break?
Ozzy didn't need any big break...
Lol
@@danellis146 it's a meme joke from last year after he collaborated with post and people didn't know who he was.
Timeless, still holds true decades later ✌️
It rehashes the same theme that has applied to almost every war: “It’s a rich man’s war but a poor man’s fight.”
If we turned on those fomenting these wars like we allow them to turn us upon ourselves then we could end the cycle..
Such a classic song. Usually one of the first songs a guitarist learns👍
Usually Smoke on the Water first song learned, this oneva little too complicated for beginners
For me it was Wonderwall and Smells like teen spirit
Enter Sandman
@@joelramsey9639 Then Iron Man.
Great Reaction! Just as relevant now as it was in 1970. Just incredible. Nuff said.
Loved the reaction. I am always amazed when people know who Ozzy Osbourne is, but not that he is a living legend, and he earned that by being one hell of a vocalist and performer.

"Give us your freedom and we will take care of you" - the government.

Now facebook, twitter and google is part of that government.
Ray gun was another senile, rich, filthy, wealthy, elitist. We were aware of his senility. God saved us. Not so sure it's gonna happen this round.
Watching you discover this song was so cool. It’s as relevant now as when first came out. One of the few videos that work with the song.
Bill Ward is such a great drummer.
one of thee first heavy metal bands
This is like to be inside the book 1984 of George Orwell.
Or America in 2020-21
Toni Iommi is the genius behind Black Sabbath
Geezer wrote much of the lyrics 🤘
So much power both in the music and the lyrics. Unbelievable.
50yrs and still going on
Thank you
YOU REALLY NEED TO WATCH THE LIVE VERSION PARIS 1970
✌😎👍
This track has so much depth it is truly incredible. And 1970 ALL HAIL BLACK SABBATH

One of my top favorite songs of all time. Lyrics are amazing and to think it was made about 40 years ago.
More like almost 50 years ago.
@@factsdontcareaboutyourfeel9549 yeah, you're right. My math was bad.
You finally hit the point where it all began. Black Sabbath are the grand daddy's of Metal as we know it.
50 years on and the masses are still controlled by the "few" - great reaction guys - keep it going!!!
Just listen to the entire album, you won't believe what you here, outstanding and at 63, I still listen to this album often.
Ozzy had (has) one of the most haunting voices of all time. Remember this song was released during the Vietnam war. While controversial, this music fit the times.

This song came out around 50 years ago. Metal Gods of Black Sabbath. Been a fan since 1971.
Black Sabbath are the "godfathers" to metal, they are THE metal gods !! Great reaction to an amazingly big song with an even bigger message!!
Them the granddaddy's of metal . Thank you S&M . ❤️
Ozzy and Sabbath are the masters. They are credited with creating the heavy metal sound.
Just to let You know @Shawn and Mel Tony Iommi the lead guitarist. Missing the tips of 2 of his fingers. He homemade finger tip covers, after an accident at the Steel Mill he worked at.

song with the greatest drum fills in musical history
This doesn't need a video. It's the lyrics and composition that makes this timeless.
This was the FIRST HEAVY METAL ALBUM EVER.
This song was banned from our local stations! We had censorship back then too!
War Pigs is a timeless classic!!!!! I'm REALLY glad you like it. 👍👍👍😎
Satan's been coming for a long time, this epic song goes back 50 years or thereabouts, this is what us kiddies in the seventies listened to, mind blowing eh!
That song is 50 years old and has just as much meaning today as it did then.
The truth about the War Pigs.... Vietnam vet here and I fell in love with this song when they released it.
Remember, we were still fighting in Vietnam when this came out in 1970. A little historical perspective; not to reject your interpretation, you're dead-on with that as well!
YES! BEEN WAITIN... ❤❤❤❤❤
Not disappointed in your reaction to this gem!
Timeless masterpiece. Someone should play this at the Whitehouse.
This song is on point. Pure truth.
This song was written and released in 1970 and for me looking at the video you would think it was made for today.
A classic anti-war song done in heavy metal. Listened to this while in the Navy and at sea off the coast of Vietnam in 1971. Would get high when listening to Black Sabbath this was during the Vietnam War. Helped us to keep our sanity.

It's not fan-made, it's a short film called "Motherland," which has nothing to do with the song.
50 years ago this Band .......................
That song is over 30 years old and just as relevant now as it was back then and still a killer heavy metal jam, thanks for the great tunes 🎶👌
This is great to see that these 2 people took the time to listen to something different - peace out
Wow first time I get into it like that what a video ! i have been listening to this for about 50 years and still great and true !
First heard this aged around 13, we listened to
Hendrix, cream, led zep and the groundhogs, great
times.
However Sabbath were the
first and greatest heavy metal band ever.
GOD bless you all ✌
OZZY doing his thing on this one❤
Many many great songs by sabbath. The godfathers of metal
A great Birmingham band. West Midlands rocks. Fantastic reaction from you !
After all these years sabbath still kicks ass. Awesome
Kick ass and I was born in 1963 when the Vietnam war was going on and had family over there and I learned that life is only good when we can look out for one another thank you for playing War Pigs
Song is awesome. If I'm not mistaken, the video is fan art?
Great fan art, but yup . They did a nice job.
This song going off to introduce The Ozzman Cometh... pure fire. Love Black Sabbath, Love Ozzy Osborne, and I love metal in general. Hell yeah!
TRUTH STANDS TODAY AND WE THE PEOPLE SEE IT CLEAR .....Good one guys.

My favorite reaction from your channel so far. Love the visuals!
I was lucky to see black sabbath in 2017 at ozzfest. Played this song...loved it
Black Sabbath rocks! The LIVE version is nice.
I enjoyed watching your reactions to this song
THE OG's of metal... The FIRST ☮️
1970 & still relevant sadly ,
your man Shawn's face @ 2:30 ... he was not expecting this! Priceless ...
Gotta love Black Sabbath a group that started in the 1960s they are awesome 🤩 if you like heavy metal
Its still amazing seeing Ozzy sing this LIVE after all the shit he's done w/ Sabbath and as a solo Artist from 1969 - Now. Seeing him in Bristow VA in 2018 you can still understand everything so clearly.
You got it right as this was written by the band back in 1968 1969 released in 1970 the red is meaning the blood of people.
what a great critique of this video. Bless you both.
You guys' reaction hearing this song for the first time is the same as my reaction hearing it for the millionth. Music is a beautiful connection between humans.
May I suggest the your next raction to Black Sabbath be "Fairies Wear Boots"
I used to drive thought Redmond Oregon in my 68' firebird, cobalt blue black vinyl top black interior slammed in the front shackled in the back. Purple hornies exhaust.
