The story of the song black Sabbath is, ozzy gave geezer butler (the bassist) an old, 15th century book that was written in Latin and had all kinds of drawings of Satan in it. That night, geezer had a bad nightmare that he was visited by a solid black figure staring at him. It scared him so bad that they wrote that song.
Fun fact. Black Sabbath was originally not going to be a metal band. On his last day at work in the metal factory tony had to use a machine he was unfamiliar with and ended up loosing the tips of his fingers. He made his own prosthesis and tuned down to make playing less painful. Hence the sound of metal music was caused in some way by literal metal.
According to at least Tony and Ozzy, Black Sabbath is not metal. They weren't looking to create a new type of music, and they still believe it's a rock and roll band, and Ozzy considers his solo work to be rock and roll as well.
I'm not saying I disagree, but I find it funny that the band considered the heavy metal pioneer doesn't consider themselves metal. I love Black Sabbath. They are my favorite band and I own a black Epiphone SG because of Tony Iommi and when I'm able to, I'm going to upgrade to the actual Gibson SG. This is the band that inspired me to pick up the guitar in the first place.
Ozzy can't say a sentence without stumbling, but he can sing his ass off like nobody else. Dio was O.K. (loved Mob Rules) but he never held a candle to Ozzy, and his bitterness towards Ozzy really stained his soul. Dio lived his whole life being bitter and bitching about Ozzy. You can find a hundred clips of Dio slighting Ozzy on UA-cam...I've yet find a single one where Ozzy slams Dio.
For about 30 years , I thought a lyric from this song was "nobody wants him, he just stares at the wall", which I thought was the most bad ass lyric in the history of Rock. I recently looked up the lyrics and found out the correct line was "nobody wants him, he just stares at the world". The most badass line in the history of rock never was.
How can anyone not like the song Black Sabbath? It's the fucking blue print to everything that metal stands for. It's the ultimate metal song, and it was the very first one. If you don't worship the song Black sabbath, you have never understands metal. For fuck sake...
The dude wear a pony tail, and waves around a glass with a marble in it every episode for gawds sake...I really don't think anyone watches these clips for anything other than to make fun of him. The most classic line..."Hipster kid"... LOL Evidently he's oblivious to the fact that he's one himself.
Honestly, Black Sabbath is one of my favorite bands. They’re music just has something that’s great about it. I think part of it is their blues-rock and Beatles influence that sets them apart from other metal bands.
I’m surprised how paranoid became so popular. The manager of Black Sabbath stated that an album ‘war pigs’ would not sell good. This is why it’s the first song in the album, so a few days later Tony Iommi picked a cool tune to play and Osbourne went with it and started Rambling random sentences. This is why you don’t see many comparisons within the lyrics. The song was literally made in 30 minutes of playing time. The album would now be able to be called paranoid because the bands manager wanted a song in the album named the same as the album.
_"Osbourne went with it and started Rambling random sentences"_ Yes, that's how the melody was written (he sang random words to come up with the melody, a bit similarly as "Yesterday" by The Beatles was written). But those are not the lyrics that you hear on the album version - they kept the melody and Geezer wrote the actual lyrics you hear on the album.
Cringe Crewism 101 but the album cover was related to war pigs so it was a bit wrong. And well Sabbath is famous for being fast in their recordings the first album (black Sabbath) was recorded in 8 hours later on after warpigs they started putting more time with proper studio for recording.
Javier Martin I remember hearing from the show he does with his son, Ozzy and jacks world detour, on one of the episodes, Ozzy states that when your in the fast lane and popular to just make a lot of music. This is why they recorded albums at the time in a fast manner was because of Ozzy’s philosophy to recording music.
If you want to make 100% sure they see it, direct your "spam" to a girl named Kris.. she's the employee reading the comments in the first 12hours of the videos being up. Godspeed \m/
How come everyone is saying that the heaven and hell album is what they should've played. Yes HELLA GREAT ALBUM. BUT! What about dehumanizer? such an underrated album.
I recently went to an Ozzy concert and it's amazing that he's still as good as he is at his age and mental state. Zakk Wilde was also there and is also a beast like Tony Iommi.
The drumming on the studio version of War Pigs is amazing. The drumming on the Live in Paris version of War Pigs from 1970 were OUT OF THIS WORLD. I have never heard a better drumming performance ever. Bill Ward might as well have used hammers for drumsticks.
War Pigs is such a good song. It woke me up whilst driving to Florida from Chicago. I was in Atlanta. I was about to fall asleep. War Pigs came on, scared the hell out of me and kept me up for three more hours.
I was going to sign the petition for Sydney Reacts to Dream Theater but that site won't let me sign without giving them my address. That seems dodgy as fuck.
8:04 - Here's where you have to take the year into context. This was their very first song, on their very first album, and it was released in 1970. The "creepy stuff" in the beginning? When have you ever heard a song before this point that had any "atmosphere" like that?... This song, (nor any song on any of Sabbath's albums, especially the first one) was in any way 'commercial', which, keep in mind, most music up to this point, and past this point was. Sabbath is always credited as the first "metal" band, but that entire first album had some heavy atmosphere, something that wasn't really featured on albums or songs up until then.
Dude. Seriously? You Don't like Black Sabbath (the song)? Arguably the first ever metal track. THAT singular track gave birth to the genre known as metal. Each to their own but to state any Ozzy solo track as being better than Sabbath is ridiculous.
Judging by the years that were posted, it sounds like the songs came from one or two albums. Black Sabbath made far more albums than that even with Ozzy.
My favorite Sabbath album is Dehumanizer, I like the Dio era more than the Ozzy era but still enjoy Ozzy's work. I don't really care for the rest of their discography though "Shaking off the Chains" is a pretty solid song from the Tony Martin era.
Papa Billydeth the dio era is known as Heaven and Hell by the fans so I think they skipped it cuz it technically isn’t Black Sabbath anymore. Also don’t hate on me plz I’m only 14
Just when i was binge watching your reaction videos, i get gifted with the one for my favorite band!!! Love the material on this channel. As for the song "Black Sabbath", the song serves way more for historical value - if you went to any of the shows on their last tour they put this song first, and it sets the tone very well. It's kind of the de facto beginning of heavy metal, and that's why I like it. it's not necessarily the best song in their catalogue, or even the best one on their first album, but it serves as a testament to the genre itself.
Personally, I feel they should include songs from all of Dio's work: From his time in Ronnie And The Red Caps to Rainbow along with his Black Sabbath tenure and his solo stuff.
But.... but.... Black Sabbath is such a badass song. The atmosphere it creates, especially as the opening to the very first of Black Sabbath's discography, is just so haunting and badass. It's the perfect introduction to the genre of metal that they created
The thing about Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath from the album Black Sabbath is how different it was from anything else at the time. Like imagine yourself in 1970, you just got back from your favorite record store and you put this album on the turntable and drop the needle. Nobody was fuckin ready.
Yes. In 70. Also Black Sabbath the song. NIB is my Mothers initials. Also my birthday is the same as Ozzys. Not the year though. Dec. 3. The first album I ever bought.
1:53 - Another kickass song for this is How Many More Time by Zeppelin, (that's honestly my all time favorite "jam" song), nothing else comes close, try it out and you'll see why.
I actually became a Sabbath fan when I heard about them yes,, that's before i even heard one of their tunes One of my former neighbors stopped by my house and spoke about them and i was hooked from that moment. No joke
Black Sabbath has some of my favorite high songs, War Pigs, Killing Yourself to Live, Megalomania, Snowblind, Wheels of Confusion. Those songs blow your mind high.
Thank you for broadening my musical horizons and knowledge. I've been here since you were at 15k, I'll be here until 15mil! \m/ Also, I saw a dude in public with a Dream Theater shirt on. Faith in music restored!
Not acknowledging Black Sabbath as metal is like calling Dream Theater or King Diamond dark ambient or disco. Black Sabbath is the creator of heavy metal, Tony Iommi the creator of the heavy and evil sounding shit and one of the greatest bands ever. If you disagree then you're not even a music lover let alone a metalhead
Joshua Ibarra I think I've been living under a bubble this whole time. I never knew until like three months ago that people refused to call Sabbath metal. Some of those same people told me that Iron Maiden is blues rock and metal was invented in the 90s. Lmao!
Joshua Ibarra I wish it was too bro. These are the kind of things I hear on a regular basis thanks to being in the company of people who are casual listeners with shitty taste, and in some cases overly religious causing them to label me as some depressed schizophrenic or devil worshipper even after telling them I'm atheist. Wonderful isn't it?
Black Sabbath is one of my all time favorite groups, I personally prefer Ozzy with Sabbath over his solo stuff although he did have some great solo hits.
I knew you would upload a reaction video when I got the notification from the FBE channel, but I didn't expect it so quickly (I'm not complaining, though). Seriously, man, it was Sunday and you deserve a break. Loved your commentary as always, but you sound a bit under the weather. As to the kids' reactions, I'm kind of shocked at how knowledgeable they are about music from the past. I mean, when I was 10 the only bands from the past I knew about were The Beatles and Queen. One more thing: Jenna (the girl who talks at 15:22) will probably grow out of pop when she's older, just the fact that she digs rock songs albeit dreaming of being a "pop idol" is a beacon of hope.
The song black sabbath is my all time favorite black sabbath song. It's sinister, ominous and radical. I get why the band often used this as their opening song when they played live. It's actually a perfect first track to the band. It's like saying to you: "yup, this is black sabbath".
My favourite Sabbath song is War Pigs but the redux where Rodger Bain and Tom Allom added the air raid sirens to the start and sped up the ending. Because it has so much atmosphere.
'Black Sabbath' I heard was apparently their interpretation of the Hammer Horror movies of the time (Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, et al), that they wanted to portray a horror movie in song form basically.
First of all, I love your channel dude, I subscribed a few minutes before. As an 51 year old metalhead I like to see that these youngsters discover metal listening to the same band as I did in the beginning of the seventies. That's something you have to give the FineBros credits for I got my first albums (deep purple, black sabbath, slade, etc) when I was six from a cousin who bought records by the tons and he didn't like any of them, referred to it as noise... Boy was I glad he had such a bad taste for music...
One of the things I probably like most about Mike is he's not overly enamored with previous decades of music. I think he would agree with the sentiment that there was some good music in every decade, even the ots and teens, though the good stuff rarely sees radio play. P.S.: Even good bands/artists put their poppiest garbage into singles where other songs in their albums are actually great.
Great reaction! It's cool that you're alright with Black sabbath, it's actually the very first band I listened to and thought: "Being in a band would be so cool" and now about 3 Years later I play in 2 Rock bands with some mates and it's just pure fun! I'd love to see Sydney react to DT, I'm a fan myself, though Black Sabbath is one of the bands which had a big impact on my taste and guitar playing. Oh and as I discovered them 4 years ago together with Motörhead I thought: TURN UP THE BASS. Though it's simple, it's effective... and you actually hear it.
They rehashed all of 13. It was basically all their first couple albums recreated as modern adaptations. It had a really good reason, though (Ozzy got back in the band). For example End of the Beginning was Black Sabbath, Loner was N.I.B., Zeitgeist was Planet Caravan, etc.
What's your opinion about Deep Purple, Mike? I'd love FBE if they made kids react to Deep Purple. It's one of the most iconic bands of the hard rock genre, and I myself believe that Ian Gillan's performance during his time in Black Sabbath was amazing! Disturbing the priest's intro still gives me the chills every single time I listen to it! Dunno why Deep Purple is so underrated, though..
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath is super awesome live! What's most mind blowing, is that it's from the same year as Paranoid 2 albums that couldn't have any less in common from the same band within a year...
He had some finger tips were chopped off in a work accident so he melted down plastic bottle caps to use as finger covers that gave him a unique sound.
I got into music when I was just 6, when guitar hero came in 2005. I got into metal when guitar hero 3 came out in 2007. That's when I got into black Sabbath, metallica, avenged sevenfold and iron maiden. Love that game it, changed my life.
I love how insightful you are in your vids, always so entertaining yet actually intelligent. Your knowledge on music is amazing, I always learn something from your vids 🤘
because they want to shock the kids with metal. kinda boring now in my opinion. teens and college kids always give more interesting opinions on music anyways

Did they tell them about the extensive list of drugs Ozzy did.
Jack Wilczynski or a list of things that he did while on all those drugs😂
Seank C1tikal5000 they actually kinda did lmao
Did you know that Tony Iommi lit Bill Ward on fire one time? Bill was stoned and asked him to do it.

That would double the length of the video.

11:36 Have you seen the video of Ozzy preforming Bark at the Moon as the 2017 Eclipse darkens the sky? It's pretty awesome.
Nope, but heard amazing stories. Need to see this.
Btw, thanks for continuing to watch dude \m/
Thank you for broadening my musical horizons and knowledge. I've been here since you were at 15k, I'll be here until 15mil! \m/
Also, I saw a dude in public with a Dream Theater shirt on. Faith in music restored!
Not acknowledging Black Sabbath as metal is like calling Dream Theater or King Diamond dark ambient or disco. Black Sabbath is the creator of heavy metal, Tony Iommi the creator of the heavy and evil sounding shit and one of the greatest bands ever. If you disagree then you're not even a music lover let alone a metalhead
TheLoneWolf873, There are sadly people who deny that Sabbath were a Metal band.
Joshua Ibarra I think I've been living under a bubble this whole time. I never knew until like three months ago that people refused to call Sabbath metal. Some of those same people told me that Iron Maiden is blues rock and metal was invented in the 90s. Lmao!
That...has to be a joke...like literally... IRON MAIDEN A BLUES ROCK BAND?!
Joshua Ibarra I wish it was too bro. These are the kind of things I hear on a regular basis thanks to being in the company of people who are casual listeners with shitty taste, and in some cases overly religious causing them to label me as some depressed schizophrenic or devil worshipper even after telling them I'm atheist. Wonderful isn't it?
One of the wierdest things I ever heard was that Judas Priest isn't a metal band but a rock band!?
Black Sabbath is one of my all time favorite groups, I personally prefer Ozzy with Sabbath over his solo stuff although he did have some great solo hits.
I knew you would upload a reaction video when I got the notification from the FBE channel, but I didn't expect it so quickly (I'm not complaining, though). Seriously, man, it was Sunday and you deserve a break. Loved your commentary as always, but you sound a bit under the weather.
As to the kids' reactions, I'm kind of shocked at how knowledgeable they are about music from the past. I mean, when I was 10 the only bands from the past I knew about were The Beatles and Queen.
One more thing: Jenna (the girl who talks at 15:22) will probably grow out of pop when she's older, just the fact that she digs rock songs albeit dreaming of being a "pop idol" is a beacon of hope.

The song black sabbath is my all time favorite black sabbath song. It's sinister, ominous and radical. I get why the band often used this as their opening song when they played live. It's actually a perfect first track to the band. It's like saying to you: "yup, this is black sabbath".
I like "Sweet Leaf".
Also, what is that black ball thing in Mike's glass?
StutteringCrisTop10 It's like an ice cube but made of metal
StutteringCrisTop10 Sweet Leaf and After Forever are the best Sabbath songs!
My favourite Sabbath song is War Pigs but the redux where Rodger Bain and Tom Allom added the air raid sirens to the start and sped up the ending. Because it has so much atmosphere.
Sydney is great
Melbourne is better 😂😂😂
'Black Sabbath' I heard was apparently their interpretation of the Hammer Horror movies of the time (Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, et al), that they wanted to portray a horror movie in song form basically.
Is that black materia in your glass Mike?
First of all, I love your channel dude, I subscribed a few minutes before.
As an 51 year old metalhead I like to see that these youngsters discover metal listening to the same band as I did in the beginning of the seventies.
That's something you have to give the FineBros credits for
I got my first albums (deep purple, black sabbath, slade, etc) when I was six from a cousin who bought records by the tons and he didn't like any of them, referred to it as noise...
Boy was I glad he had such a bad taste for music...
Hey mike I️ like the reaction videos and to switch it up you should react to some watch mojo videos like top 10 frontman in rock.
griffen salley but WatchMojo is so fucking ridiculous
Watchmojo sucks ass, and I'm afraid Loudwire is beginning to turn into them as well
Luke S
Exactly, so Mike's reaction will be even better
One of the things I probably like most about Mike is he's not overly enamored with previous decades of music. I think he would agree with the sentiment that there was some good music in every decade, even the ots and teens, though the good stuff rarely sees radio play.
P.S.: Even good bands/artists put their poppiest garbage into singles where other songs in their albums are actually great.
Fuck. now I need to go and hear some of sabbath
Great reaction!
It's cool that you're alright with Black sabbath, it's actually the very first band I listened to and thought: "Being in a band would be so cool" and now about 3 Years later I play in 2 Rock bands with some mates and it's just pure fun!
I'd love to see Sydney react to DT, I'm a fan myself, though Black Sabbath is one of the bands which had a big impact on my taste and guitar playing. Oh and as I discovered them 4 years ago together with Motörhead I thought: TURN UP THE BASS.
Though it's simple, it's effective... and you actually hear it.
Headphone users beware!
me too! he should do some loudness equalization
nah you turn up the volume to full blast and take it like a man
They rehashed all of 13. It was basically all their first couple albums recreated as modern adaptations. It had a really good reason, though (Ozzy got back in the band).
For example End of the Beginning was Black Sabbath, Loner was N.I.B., Zeitgeist was Planet Caravan, etc.
You're so fucking awesome
The song "Black Sabbath" is one of the first Doom Metal songs
Are you disappointed that they didn't have anything about Dio ?
I certainly am. Dio is god!
TheLoneWolf873 Fuck NO! God doesn't exist and never did.
TheLoneWolf873 He was. He was :(
SED REAX fuck the edge!
10:20...yes! That bass tone! I love that part of the song...for its era, that thick fuzz was a pretty sweet touch.
What's your opinion about Deep Purple, Mike? I'd love FBE if they made kids react to Deep Purple. It's one of the most iconic bands of the hard rock genre, and I myself believe that Ian Gillan's performance during his time in Black Sabbath was amazing! Disturbing the priest's intro still gives me the chills every single time I listen to it! Dunno why Deep Purple is so underrated, though..
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath is super awesome live! What's most mind blowing, is that it's from the same year as Paranoid 2 albums that couldn't have any less in common from the same band within a year...
Lol once I saw the kids react vid i knew this was coming 😄
He had some finger tips were chopped off in a work accident so he melted down plastic bottle caps to use as finger covers that gave him a unique sound.
I hope those kids should meet Mike...
I've been waiting for this!!!
(P.S. I was disappointed that Crazy Train wasn't played since that is my favorite Black Sabbath song.)
Crazy train isn't a BLACK SABBATH track , it's from Ozzy's solo carrier
4:45, im thinking megadeath- sweating bullets,
would something like Prison Song by SOAD count as well?
Sabbath was one of my absolute favorites...back in the 70s.
They kind of still are. 13 is amazing.
Mike, Sabbath with Ozzy or Sabbath with Dio??
Sabbath with Ozio
Ozzy
Anup not even a question.
Thank you, Mike! =D
Knew you'd come through. Hope your hangover is feeling better. ;-)
Ozzy is gonna surpass our lifetimes
I got into music when I was just 6, when guitar hero came in 2005. I got into metal when guitar hero 3 came out in 2007. That's when I got into black Sabbath, metallica, avenged sevenfold and iron maiden. Love that game it, changed my life.
,,It's iron Man Theme song"

I love how insightful you are in your vids, always so entertaining yet actually intelligent. Your knowledge on music is amazing, I always learn something from your vids 🤘
right why do they always show the kids metal and know one else
SyscoVids the teens at least have some knowledge of metal. The elders will obviously know it.
Well, there was the "Slingknot!" episode of Elders React, for example...
because they want to shock the kids with metal. kinda boring now in my opinion. teens and college kids always give more interesting opinions on music anyways
