Imagine how ground breaking this must have sounded in 1971! The Billboard Top 100 was filled with names like Carole King, The Osmonds, Rod Stewart, and, then, there was this. There was no one else like Sabbath in the early 70s.
-71 i was 7 and just started my journey with purple, sweet, cooper sabbath etc... i really can imagine when this hit the ears used to..eh, "brighter" sound. Though myself grow up in middle of the best music era didn't see no change as such, but 12-13 years old i had seen Sweet @9, Cooper @12 (sitting on my dads shoulders even though he 'hated' Alice), BÖC @13, the quality was ofcourse obvious but we got so spoiled took it for granted..til the recordbuisness started the decrease of true generous music and later held true music kidnapped for 20 years but with all these rappers/black guy/girl reaction to rock movement started (and they love it) oldschool hardrock is soon taking over again ♥ I shall not tell my parents thought of Alice Cooper (and ME listen to them/him.. anyhow the original band is unbeatable ♥
In the early 70s my pastor preached a whole Sunday sermon from the pulpit on the Evils of hard rock music. He lost a parishioner, and I still love hard rock!
Im pulled between multiple bands! LOL i not only love Creed and TOOL but Sabbath is my all time favorite band! I love music from all walks of life and culture! This is bad to the bone!!!
The song is a call to action. It is saying to protest for peace because if you don't you'll be a child of the grave. This was for all the kids protesting Vietnam and worrying about nuclear war. Still holds true for today as it did then, this is a timeless song. The ending was just a look at the spooky aftermath of not doing anything.
Inventors of Heavy Metal! Lord Riff. Hand of Doom! IOMMI!!! Thankyou for kicking the keyboards, kumbaya of the late 60’s-70’s out of there, Eddie VH once said when they opened for Sabbath “ Their sound system scared the hell out of me” ominous tone from hell! All metal, doom, thrash, Black, Death all owe the kings of the genre a huge thankyou. Side note, Ozzy had surgery today, thoughts & prayers
RIGHT?! I don't know what the percussive sounds are.Is it synthd or actually played manually? Its incredible though.Bill has always been so under rated yet he & Geezer are among the hottest rhythm sections around.
@@davidvasquez8658 I'm sure it's played manually. I don't know for sure what it is either, I'm not a musician, but it kinda sounds like maybe he's hitting the edges of the drums, like the rims. IDK.
That sound is from an instrument called Timbales, the same you hear on the dueling drum solos on Edgar Winter's track, Frankenstein. On Children Of The Grave, Bill Ward plays those overdubbed onto his regular drum kit tracks.
@@brettkenschaft4239 like a rim shot? Sounds good.JustKev adds they're timbales & over dubbed which sounds right on. Bill did an excellent job.It was too bad he couldn't do The End concerts with Sabbath.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 Yep! This one in particular. If I'm not mistaken, it's the first Sabbath record in a drop tuning on guitar and bass. Changes the aesthetic a bit. What a great band!
Yes! A true masterpiece. More anti-war songs than any singer-songwriter ever manage. And they were called satanists because the music was quite dark and heavy.. will people ever really listen?
In 1971 the Vietnam war continued. The evening news was often filled with wounded young men being loaded into helicopters. As a musically sheltered young 12 year old, "Master of Reality" the first rock album I ever listened to, life was changing.
The riffs just keep coming with Black Sabbath, Lex is right, they have the best sounding heavy riffs of any band. Tony Iommi has left quite a wake in his career, ably abetted by Ozzy on iconic vocals and one of the best rhythm sections ever in Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. This song and their first six albums still give me chills 50+ years later. Also on this Album is another you should hear in Are Forever. Enjoy! 🎵
I prefer Glenn Tipton RIFFS but if it makes you feel good that's all that matters. Although I miss FEELING the music . 14"s with amps and tweeters, Rock Concert every night. What I can't hear you.
"The sound of reckoning" is a great way to describe some of Sabbath's music. Also, I am old enough to remember "bomb drills" in school and everyone would have to get down under their desk, like that was going to protect you from an atom bomb hahaha.
I was in many bomb drills as well, we laughed at the notion too. But it really is better to take some cover then just stand there and look out the window depending on how far away from the blast of course.
Yeah definitely remember the get under your desk drills. We would joke about how absurd it was. I remember a poster from back then that summed it up saying, "In the event of a nuclear strike, cover your head and place it between your knees. Then kiss your a** goodbye."
Great reaction. Always love when you do Black Sabbath. Please put the song "Snowblind" into the back of your minds as one that you'd like to soon hear. Thanks for posting this.
I`m happy you are doing this one. Bill Wards drumming is insane, it sounds like a train going over points to me, Geezers bass just drives the song along, and Tony`s riffs are so good. Ozzy sings it perfectly. They`re my favourite band ever.
This song came out during the waning years of the Vietnam War. Notice the guitar solos at the outro. There are too different solos going on at the same time. And "someone" is whispering "children of the grave, and nauseam until the fade out. Listen to the song a little bit longer. The live version of this song with Randy Rhoads on "Tribute" s a wonderful introduction to the music of Randy Rhoads. It's, arguably, his best solo with Ozzy...EVER! Keep Rockin' y'all 👍. 💗 ya'
I never tire of saying these two things..TONY IOMMI IS THEE RIFF MASTER! Not even on every song but usually 2 or 3 per song! Some on Vol 4 more! #2 I LOVE LEX!! You just ROCK SO HARD!
Don't forget that this song came out during the height of the Vietnam War where 18yo kids were being drafted against their will and killed in a senseless war hence the Children of the Grave. Also movements such as anti Vietnam war, civil rights, Equal rights amendment, Roe v Wade, etc all happening at this time.
If Lex had spend 50 years studying music, reading all the crítics of the world, listen to a song for One week, and trying to sum up a song on One word, i still was impressed on how She nail it.
Another classic from Black Sabbath. I think Tony's guitar really gets to Lex. When he's doing his magic she just seems to get lost in the moment which is exactly how Black Sabbath should be listened to. Just go with it.
This song is from their 3rd album "Master of Reality" and is obviously inspired by the peace movement of the counterculture at the time. Yet expanded to beyond proxy wars with the line "atomic fear"
It is up to us, as the human race, to save the world from self-destruction, and to change it into a much better place. This, like many earlier Sabbath songs, is just as relevant today as when it was originally released.
I'm sure the whispering of "Children of the Grave" at the end was where the maker's of Friday the 13th got the original "J.........son" when Jason is near.
And to think if Tony doesn’t lose part of his two fingers as a teenager, we might never had that hard sound…. Black Sabbath forever took metal to another level.
BTW... Ozzy had major surgery on his neck and back today. I know the dude can't live forever, but I'm not ready to say goodbye to Ozzy, yet. Hopeful for a speedy recovery!
When I was in grade 5, I had time to wait before going to the bus stop and my parents were already gone to work. My older brother's Master of Reality was the album I would listen to before heading out for my school day....
what makes this song work so well in the face of all the 80s metal bands that carried that torch.. is the unique drums they push forward and throughout the mix... a lot of metal snobs love to lecture about "range" when it comes to singers.. ozzy isn't gonna win any range competitions against many of the metal bands those kind of fans champions yet he sounds better doing it than most of them. Sabbath is the real deal.
Ozzy is at best an adequate singer, but that’s all Black Sabbath really needed at the time. Dio absolutely smoked Ozzy and he was never about huge range the way Geoff Tate was.
11. Turn it up to 11!!! Loved Lex moving her groove flow along like a diehard Sabbath fan. Fantastic. Geezer Butler was a fantastic writer of music for the group. He's the Bass player. Been a fan since age 5, went to concert with parents, uncles. Yeah, seems like ive been high ever since. God bless both y'all
You got yourself a little metalhead on your hands there pal...she gets it...love it when she started getting that serious stank face when Tony was ripping it up on that second solo...that's feeling it...Lol!!! Love her enthusiasm for classic metal...
I heard that album before I ever heard Black Sabbath and I heard FNM’s cover of “War Pigs”before that. Black Sabbath inspired the greatest covers of all time.
It's amazing how relevant Sabbath's lyrics are today. They're a band I appreciate more the older I get. This was banned music in my house when I was young. It was regarded as "Satan's music".
Reminds me of the night I walked into the Dungeon bar in New Orleans (that used to open at midnight) and they were playing the entire Master of Reality album. Cool and creepy vibes. Lex is friggin' heavy.
My uncle and his teenage kids in the 70s called this acid rock back then, I remember that for some reason hehe. Perhaps, but later when a teen myself I called it the much-needed beginnings of heavy metal. One of my favorite from the Ozzy years. Timeless lyrics, especially the final verses.
Geezer writing about the Cold War, a song born of serious international tension, everyone is living virtually on the edge of disaster. Hmm. sounds familiar. And riff master Tony iommi serving them up.
Spot on Lex, back then we were living with the terrible fear of Nuclear Annihilation and this band and this song captured the time perfectly! Their lyrics have always had a meaningful message and their music, still sounds amazing. Those Bongos with that Riff somehow work together perfectly. Btw Lex, you have an Angelic face with a beautiful smile😊 Brad, you are a lucky man. Just Saying!
I've been suggesting and hoping for this one as well. So, this really disproves the stereotype put on Black Sabbath. A song that says quit letting things divide us and be brave and learn how to show love be loving and compassionate toward all!!
Amazing stuff. Great riff and Bill Ward kills it on the drums. You should check out “Children of the Sea” from the DIO era of Sabbath. That song is a masterpiece.
Well you definitely need to do Snowblind, Killing Yourself to Live, Electric Funeral, Tomorrow's Dream, A National Acrobat, Symptom of the Universe and Hole in the Sky.
@@treeduck3705 And if we would like to dig deeper, I would not hate to see them react to Spiral Architect, The Thrill of it All, Wheels of Confusion, Under the Sun, Gypsy, Backstreet kids and Johnny Blade :)
The toms panning from channel to channel really give it an eerie vibe. In 1973 I did a class project (Catholic School) of 8th grade. We had to do a slide show(magazine pictures transferred onto contact paper). I played this song and did pollution and nuclear bombs. Freaked the nun out, but I got an A.
Geezer is a top 3 Bass players of all time next to Steve Harris and Cliff Burton Billy Ward beats his drums like someone owes him money Tony Iommi‘s riffs take over my soul And Ozzy Osbourne??? What is there to say? It’s freaking OZZY!!!
"Children of the Grave" is a song off the 1971 album, 'Master of Reality.' I was a mere 12 years old then and I suppose I could be considered one of the "Children of the Grave" because we are still living in "atomic fear." If you don't think it's possible, there are only NINE countries with nuclear weapons! And one of those is North Korea. I'm not saying it will happen, it's not just the allies of the US who possess them. But I still have hope that humanity won't be that foolish to use them. Anyway, Black Sabbath has always had messages of love and hope. Many people don't dive deeply into their lyrics. Those of us who grew up in the Cold War and the shadow of nuclear annihilation believe we will eventually come to our senses.
So you children of the world listen to what I say, if you want a better place to live spread the word today, show the world that loves alive you must be brave, or you children of today are children of the grave! LOVE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER , the colorblind message of this incredible song. Here in 2024 (almost 25) we the inhabitants of planet earth need this message. Thanks guys for checkin out and sharing this one.
You have to understand This was metal before metal was born, the guitar riff and heavy distortion alone paved the way for future metal guitarists (coz at the time heavy guitar riffs were unheard of)
Imagine how ground breaking this must have sounded in 1971! The Billboard Top 100 was filled with names like Carole King, The Osmonds, Rod Stewart, and, then, there was this. There was no one else like Sabbath in the early 70s.
back in the early 70's the only songs from sabbath played on the radio were iron man and paranoid. Sabbath was too contraversial at the time.
-71 i was 7 and just started my journey with purple, sweet, cooper sabbath etc...
i really can imagine when this hit the ears used to..eh, "brighter" sound.
Though myself grow up in middle of the best music era didn't see no change as such, but 12-13 years old i had seen Sweet @9, Cooper @12 (sitting on my dads shoulders even though he 'hated' Alice), BÖC @13, the quality was ofcourse obvious but we got so spoiled took it for granted..til the recordbuisness
started the decrease of true generous music and later held true music kidnapped for 20 years but with
all these rappers/black guy/girl reaction to rock movement started (and they love it) oldschool hardrock is soon taking over again ♥
I shall not tell my parents thought of Alice Cooper (and ME listen to them/him..
anyhow the original band is unbeatable ♥
In the early 70s my pastor preached a whole Sunday sermon from the pulpit on the Evils of hard rock music. He lost a parishioner, and I still love hard rock!
There's no else like Sabbath, even today. 🤘🏻
No one else? LOADS of acid rock bands from Europe and USA. And, I mean, Hawkwind's "Space Ritual"? No, there was other stuff, underground, and cool.
I love how Lex gets instantly in her zone with every Sabbath song. Lol you got good taste, lady!
and Brad is in a coma lol
Yeah Lex totally gets Sabbath, lyrically and musically.
If you react to more sabbath, i will watch each reaction 10 times. Promise!
Who's with me?
Sabbath is the OG's of metal. Legends!
I’m in
They've done a bunch of Sabbath already.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 well not enough then.
I'm all in.. more Sabbath.!!
Im pulled between multiple bands! LOL i not only love Creed and TOOL but Sabbath is my all time favorite band! I love music from all walks of life and culture! This is bad to the bone!!!
One of best Black Sabbath's songs. I wondered when you'd get to this one.
And Master Of Reality is their best album in my opinion !!
Yes, they needed to hear this one. Sabbath is my jam...well, along with Maiden and Priest.
The song is a call to action. It is saying to protest for peace because if you don't you'll be a child of the grave. This was for all the kids protesting Vietnam and worrying about nuclear war. Still holds true for today as it did then, this is a timeless song. The ending was just a look at the spooky aftermath of not doing anything.
Bill Ward, "god mode" drumming on this track. Definitely one of their best "under rated" songs.
Greatest Metal song ever written by the Greatest Metal band of all time...
Hard to argue with that
I love this song, but it's not even the best Sabbath song, let alone greatest ever. In fact, it's not even the best on the album.

Bill Ward is a fucking monster.
They are on almost all sabbath songs, especially war pigs
Sometimes Lex is just spot on bc the ending of 'Children of the Grave' is called 'The Haunting'
On US releases only.
The whole Master of Reality album slaps pretty hard. Stoner Metal, Doom Metal, Drone Metal, etc all owe to this album. My favorite Sabbath!
Metal in general owes everything to Sabbath.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 No doubt!
@@ericsierra-franco7802 Blue Cheer deserves a little credit.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 Yep! This one in particular. If I'm not mistaken, it's the first Sabbath record in a drop tuning on guitar and bass. Changes the aesthetic a bit. What a great band!
Yes! A true masterpiece. More anti-war songs than any singer-songwriter ever manage. And they were

one of my favorites from Sabbath, another one that sounds really dark is Electric Funeral which is about the Atomic Bomb.
BTW - Lex - that's a fantastic description: It's like the sound of reckoning. Perfectly said. It is the sound of reckoning.
"reckoning" is probably the closest possible synonym to "doom" in the english language
This was in my time we use to trip on Sabbath all night then goes to work in the morning a little on the offside
Put it into perspective. This song came out in 1971. It was BRUTALLY heavy for its time.
There’s plenty of modern extreme metal bands who’d love those Sabbath riffs to be free.
In 1971 the Vietnam war continued. The evening news was often filled with wounded young men being loaded into helicopters. As a musically sheltered young 12 year old, "Master of Reality" the first rock album I ever listened to, life was changing.

I agree with everything you say, but please don't talk about Tony Iommi in the past tense - he's still with us!😂😂😂
The first 6 albums are the best run of albums of any musical group.
@@scotthennen9280 "You can only trust your self and the first six Sabbath albums" - Henry Rollins
Six , it gets a little repetitive. Judas Priest had a couple good runs too. They're all good and Henry Rollins is insane.
"The sound of reckoning" is a great way to describe some of Sabbath's music.
Also, I am old enough to remember "bomb drills" in school and everyone would have to get down under their desk, like that was going to protect you from an atom bomb hahaha.

I was just saying how Tony has the best riffs 2 or 3 per song.Snowblind has more!
YES…. Snowblind is probably the most underrated Sabbath songs ever…
I agree with Jedd Young.The Sabbath reactions are great.I loved the Into the Void one.I was saying 'wait til you hear whats next!'
I recall Kansas Carry On Wayward Son also has several cool riffs and changes.
I`m happy you are doing this one. Bill Wards drumming is insane, it sounds like a train going over points to me, Geezers bass just drives the song along, and Tony`s riffs are so good. Ozzy sings it perfectly. They`re my favourite band ever.
Tony Iommi is my favorite guitarist and bull ward is my favorite drummer r

I don't often suggest live versions, but Sabbath's version of Children Of The Grave from the 1974 California Jam is totally worth the reaction.
This song came out during the waning years of the Vietnam War.
Notice the guitar solos at the outro. There are too different solos going on at the same time. And "someone" is whispering "children of the grave, and nauseam until the fade out. Listen to the song a little bit longer.

#2 I LOVE LEX!! You just ROCK SO HARD!
You two might want to react to “Supernaut” by Black Sabbath, that song is so fast and heavy you will need to take a nap after listening to it.
Black Sabbath a awesome group,I remember in 1972, when I was 6,my brother Barry played back then.Barry passed away 2019,was63💐
Don't forget that this song came out during the height of the Vietnam War where 18yo kids were being drafted against their will and killed in a senseless war hence the Children of the Grave. Also movements such as anti Vietnam war, civil rights, Equal rights amendment, Roe v Wade, etc all happening at this time.
If Lex had spend 50 years studying music, reading all the crítics of the world, listen to a song for One week, and trying to sum up a song on One word, i still was impressed on how She nail it.
Another classic from Black Sabbath. I think Tony's guitar really gets to Lex. When he's doing his magic she just seems to get lost in the moment which is exactly how Black Sabbath should be listened to. Just go with it.
Or any music.
Lex always gets it... but when she said "It was doomy..." I knew she absolutely got what this song and this genre was about.
I'm going to quote Rob Zombie back in the 90's saying, "Black Sabbath has already invented EVERY awesome riff!"
This song is from their 3rd album "Master of Reality" and is obviously inspired by the peace movement of the counterculture at the time. Yet expanded to beyond proxy wars with the line "atomic fear"
It is up to us, as the human race, to save the world from self-destruction, and to change it into a much better place.
This, like many earlier Sabbath songs, is just as relevant today as when it was originally released.
The NFL sound you're thinking of is Emerson, Lake and Palmer's "fanfare for the common Man"
I'm sure the whispering of "Children of the Grave" at the end was where the maker's of Friday the 13th got the original "J.........son" when Jason is near.
"Master Of Reality " is the best Black Sabbath album (in my opinion)
Saw BS in '72. Loudest concert ever! My ears still ring 51 years later! They played an extended version of this song for their encore final song.
How brilliant Sabbath are is beyond my love for their music
And to think if Tony doesn’t lose part of his two fingers as a teenager, we might never had that hard sound…. Black Sabbath forever took metal to another level.
One of my favorites by them. Music and lyrics.
One of my favorite Black Sabbath songs! I was wondering when someone was going to react to this. ❤️😎🤘
I was a small kid when these songs came out and I am 58 now, glad to see younger people enjoying the classics
Y'all really need to check out "After Forever" from this same album!!!
BTW... Ozzy had major surgery on his neck and back today. I know the dude can't live forever, but I'm not ready to say goodbye to Ozzy, yet. Hopeful for a speedy recovery!
When I was in grade 5, I had time to wait before going to the bus stop and my parents were already gone to work. My older brother's Master of Reality was the album I would listen to before heading out for my school day....

The sound of reckoning - yes! This is the track that got me into Sabbath a billion years ago.
I love how Lex moves with the rhythm. She's entertaining and adorable.
Lex…. What a rock babe
This song is so awesome and the ending is so creepy. First time I heard it on vinyl, I kept looking over my shoulder!
ME too!!
"Ooooooo, that's the sound of reckoning" LOL LOL LOL YEP
The “Deathly Riff Makers” is what I call Black Sabbath. Not many make Riff like them.
Black Sabbath were like Old Testament prophets howling that the end is nigh.
Anti-war songs are my favorites. And if it mentions the word "Revolution", they are even better! It's exactly what we need today.
Revolution doesn't mean jack shit unless you have a better system. It's not an end, it's a means to an end, either a worse situation or a better one.
@@SavageHenry777 amen
If you Can't Enforce the new Laws then its Tribalism .
The White Zombie cover of this off the tribute album is pretty great too Rob Zombie's voice just fits Sabbath
In Los Angeles, 1969, they shot, stabbed and bludgeoned nine people to death
Committing one of the most heinous crimes in history…
I heard that album before I ever heard Black Sabbath and I heard FNM’s cover of “War Pigs”before that.
Black Sabbath inspired the greatest covers of all time.
Hi Lex. It's nice to see you react to Black Sabbath with the same enthusiam I felt nearlt fifty years ago. Keep on rocking. 😎😎
Just one of the best drummers of all time
It's amazing how relevant Sabbath's lyrics are today. They're a band I appreciate more the older I get. This was banned music in my house when I was young. It was regarded as "Satan's music".

Reminds me of the night I walked into the Dungeon bar in New Orleans (that used to open at midnight) and they were playing the entire Master of Reality album. Cool and creepy vibes. Lex is friggin' heavy.
The bass in this song is insane!
That part at the end when Ozzy whispers Children of the grave creeps me out every time I hear it.
My favorite Black Sabbath song!!
Another great chemistry grouping with the individuals
All of Sabbath's songs feel "dark and mysterious and time to meet your maker"...😂
The mighty Black Sabbath, classic track \m/ Hard to believe that we've had over 50 years of metal.
My uncle and his teenage kids in the 70s called this acid rock back then, I remember that for some reason hehe. Perhaps, but later when a teen myself I called it the much-needed beginnings of heavy metal. One of my favorite from the Ozzy years. Timeless lyrics, especially the final verses.
You gotta stand up and love this!!! Can we win the fight for peace or will we disappear?!!! YEAH!!!!!
My favorite Black Sabbath song
Ah, yes. The original mosh pit song. A certified classic
"sound like: time to meet your maker"
Sounds like Doom! They created that shit!
Lex ALWAYS on point when it comes to Sabbath...get with it brad 🤣
Lex actually said she knows Black Sabbath when they haven't even finished the hits and we know the deep cuts are the best.

my number one driving song for 30-35 years running.
The toms panning from channel to channel really give it an eerie vibe. In 1973 I did a class project (Catholic School) of 8th grade. We had to do a slide show(magazine pictures transferred onto contact paper). I played this song and did pollution and nuclear bombs. Freaked the nun out, but I got an A.
Geezer is a top 3 Bass players of all time next to Steve Harris and Cliff Burton
Billy Ward beats his drums like someone owes him money
Tony Iommi‘s riffs take over my soul
And Ozzy Osbourne??? What is there to say? It’s freaking OZZY!!!
You need to see the live concert footage of this song!!!!
C'mon Brad and Lex...you guys need to get up off that couch and head bang to this song. It's a must!
The song, children of the grave is off of the 1971 album master of reality, lead singer, Ozzy Osbourne
"The sound of reckoning." Indeed
Lex loves that metal guitar. You two rock.
"Children of the Grave" is a song off the 1971 album, 'Master of Reality.' I was a mere 12 years old then and I suppose I could be considered one of the "Children of the Grave" because we are still living in "atomic fear." If you don't think it's possible, there are only NINE countries with nuclear weapons! And one of those is North Korea. I'm not saying it will happen, it's not just the allies of the US who possess them. But I still have hope that humanity won't be that foolish to use them.
Anyway, Black Sabbath has always had messages of love and hope. Many people don't dive deeply into their lyrics. Those of us who grew up in the Cold War and the shadow of nuclear annihilation believe we will eventually come to our senses.
So you children of the world listen to what I say, if you want a better place to live spread the word today, show the world that loves alive you must be brave, or you children of today are children of the grave! LOVE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER , the colorblind message of this incredible song. Here in 2024 (almost 25) we the inhabitants of planet earth need this message. Thanks guys for checkin out and sharing this one.
You have to understand This was metal before metal was born, the guitar riff and heavy distortion alone paved the way for future metal guitarists (coz at the time heavy guitar riffs were unheard of)
Geezer Butler's lyrics perfectly match his bass lines. Dark, ominous, contemplative and spellbinding.
