Loved it, just like all of your great reactions! Tony Iommi is a creative genius and my personal musical hero. He never got anywhere near the credit he deserved until possibly recently. This song was from 1975! While other people struggled to write a couple of good songs, he rolled out of bed and created whole genres (while missing two fingertips on his fretting hand). Just as he created metal and doom, in this song he is widely credited as beginning thrash. After he retired, he even wrote a beautiful choral piece for his local cathedral in Birmingham. During his guitar solo breaks when everyone else left the stage, he would play unique solos that were in different parts, metal, blues, classical and even jazz. Here we hear him even incorporating Latin island music. He was even an outstanding flute player and can also play piano well. As Geezer Butler said, "During our first meeting, Tony Iommi was a great jazz guitarist. His capabilities cover all styles - Black Sabbath has even narrowed his horizons."
This is Ozzy's apex in Black Sabbath. He sounds possessed on this album. Ozzy and the band never sounded better in their entire history. Sabotage is a perfect album.
This song is a great representation of Black Sabbath in one cut. Another great track that does this is "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" from the album of the same name. Everybody knows how they influenced hard rock/heavy metal. If you want to hear how they influenced hip-hop too, listen to "Hand of Doom", great song, serious message. Ozzy, love him or hate his voice, he was the perfect voice for Black Sabbath, they were never the same after he left/was booted out.
Hi guys, If you like the drums, you could check out some earlier Rush, Given Neil Peart's status in international drumming circles. Love Sabbath, the band that changed everything for me. Thank you both for having a great channel.
I disagree. Although Dio is technically brilliant, Ozzy's. vocals suit Black Sabbath so much better. Different styles but both great singers. But Ozzy definitely rules when it comes to Sabbath!
a couple of points because it seems like you read your comments, and really care about black sabbath, and music in general. ozzy sang on the first 8 albums, of which the first 6 were their best work. this track is from sabotage, the 6th album. their first album (black sabbath) was recorded in 1 day, for less than 10k dollars (hardly 50k in today's money). that debut album is simply HARD blues. you mention this track being prog -like, and said "no they werent the start of heavy metal". well, their second album (paranoid) has a couple tracks that disagree with you. "electric funeral", parts of "hand of doom", and some other parts of the album, are involved in the birth of heavy metal. other bands had been using lots of distortion by the late 60s, but the birth of metal riffs is immensely connected to the paranoid album. that album was also their biggest commercial success. the 3rd album (master of reality) is my personal favorite, without any bad songs on it. it continues in a manner that we could call proto-metal, similar in tone to paranoid. drummer bill ward used over-sized sticks on those first 3 albums, and if you do a deep-dive, i think you'll notice a difference. then came volume 4, a strong album that combined the styles they'd already done, with the more prog like timbres that would grow further in the 5th and 6th albums. 5th we have "sabbath bloody sabbath", perhaps their most unique album, with the fewest songs that sound sabbath-like, or metal-like. some very good tracks on that, including underrated ones like "sabra cadabra", and "a national acrobat". then came sabotage, its 1975, theyve been touring and recording for over 5 years, and they are loaded on alcohol and drugs. this album, complete with 4-5 terrific songs, is nonetheless a bit "all over the place" stylistically. their 7th and 8th albums (technical ecstacy and never say die) show a sharp decline and it sounds as if dad must have listened to them in order to have come to that opinion he expressed early in this vid, that ozzy doesnt sing very well compared to dio. sharon osbourne expressed it best (even though she's biased) she said "dio is a great rock-opera singer, ozzy is a better blues singer". there is extremely little that sabbath did post-ozzy that i feel is worth listening to, the "heaven and hell" album notwithstanding. 1 good album post ozzy doesnt compare to 6 good albums with him. see also the "reunion" album from 97 that has their original lineup playing not only their hits, but an original track written for that album"psycho man", the last song they ever did with ozzy AND BILL WARD. later they would do "13", in which 3 of the original members screwed over bill ward, offering him too little of a percentage for him to accept. that album is cool in that we got to hear their original style with modern recording technology, and i was as glad as anyone to hear them together, but the absence of ward is a disappointment to me. i'll close with a quote from rob zombie "every cool riff has already been done by black sabbath. you can play it faster, or slower, or backwards, but they did it first."
Yes, the entire master of Reality album is solid metal which no one was doing anything nearly as heavy in 1971(with the obvious exceptions of Orchid and Solitude), and is the greatest album of all time. My only disagreement about anything in your excellent post is that there were some outstanding post Ozzy songs, especially with the very underrated Tony Martin era (such as When Death Calls).
As much as I love Sabbath, in my opinion, the first "proper" heavy metal song was Dissident Aggressor by Judas Priest off the Sin After Sin album released in 1977.
This is probably my favorite black sabbath song of all time for me. The heavy riff and fast pace of the song, then the ending is just perfection.
Whoop 🙌
Great comment, jacob!

Rock on! 🤘 and Thankies 🥰
The whole Sabotage album is brilliant- almost as experimental as the
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath album in some ways & heavier in every way.
Definitely 🔥
I disagree. Although Dio is technically brilliant, Ozzy's. vocals suit Black Sabbath so much better. Different styles but both great singers. But Ozzy definitely rules when it comes to Sabbath!
Whoop 🙌
You guys gotta do planet caravan by them
Whoop 🙌

Sabotage is great album! Beware of the album cover though. You must have a strong stomach to watch Bill Ward in his wifes red tights.
Whoop 🙌 haha
DashyXD love you
The queen replies WOWZERS
