nobody called it world war one until after there was a world war two to reference the name to. you lived through musical history by seeing the birth of a new genre, but at the time no one thought of metal as a genre in its own right. the categorization came about in retrospect as the family tree formed -- metal branched off from hard rock, with metal players crediting iommi/butler as their influence, and guitarists emulating iommi's riff's sort of like how early blues went in two later directions, adding instruments to form city blues, and merging with ragtime to form jazz, which would later beget swing and big band.
I'm gonna' tell you- I had no real idea about or particular appreciation for Geezer's skill or presence until I saw Black Sabbath live in 2001, and I was absolutely mesmerized by everything I witnessed him doing onstage!
I hope someday to have a cat or dog who deserves the name Geezer Butler. I was largely in to punk, post-punk, new wave, and what is now called goth, back in the 80s, but I've always loved Black Sabbath, for many reasons, but that sludgy bass is just the best. Quintessential.
@@fredtello you can't see how a young dude who maybe mostly listens to hip hop would hear that vocal cadence, and draw back to his own musical experiences, which may include a lot of reggae may have come to make that joke?? Obviously it's not reggae music you dunce 😂😂😂
@@masediggity..your the dunce.. that would be like me as a white guy drawing back to my own musical experiences listening to reggae music and then saying wow that sounds like Ozzy Black Sabbath....
The birth of Heavy Metal.was actually by accident, literally. Tony Iommi, the lead guitarist for Black Sabbath had an industrial accident on the job when he was a teenager. The accident clipped off the tips of a few of his fingers. Not sure if he would continue learning guitar, tony hand made his own finger prosthetics. This gave him the distinct sound on the guitar. If you see their live performance in Paris. You can actually see them on his right hand during the close up video of him playing.
This album is a masterpiece, truly the inception of heavy metal, Iommi began tuning his guitar down a few steps, to C# I believe, the sound of f'kn DOOM!
People make music now having listened to Sabbath. Sabbath did this without having listened to stuff like this. And we’re so advanced already. Truly an incredible once in a lifetime band.
I'm 48 years old, and through this Grand illusion we call time I finally received the answer, and I know now that it's completely and utterly true, I have listened to the best and the best that will ever be...... The greatest music ever produced by man, with exception to classical music which was the heavy metal of its day, that's just an old metalheads humble opinion...... KEEP ON KEEPING ON BOYS 🤘🤘🤘
You two get down!!!🥳We woulda been party bros back in the day!!🔥🎸This was one a the first songs I sniffed glue to in my best friend Wally’s (RIP WALL🙏🏽), barn while we was puttin a new piston in his Ossa 175! 🎸🎸🎸SABBATH RULES!! 🤠IM 63 and they still get this old boyz blood pumpin up🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🤠🥊🛠️
Hey guys, if you’d like to hear the modern equivalent of Black Sabbath I highly suggest the band Sleep. Their three main albums are Holy Mountain, The Sciences, and the legendary Dopesmoker, which contains the opening lyric “Drop out of life, with bong in hand.”
One of my favorite albums We named to these back in high school. Now my daughter and her friends listen to it and my daughter plays the guitar as song plays ❤😊
Love Sabbath, and your reactions to them. Happy to see you being introduced to such incredible, timeless music. You should definitely check out the three-man Canadian band The Tea Party. I'd suggest starting with 'Sister Awake' (the album version, not the truncated remix for their video). Way back when I did college radio, this song put these images in my head I just couldn't shake, and I've since written three screenplays inspired by it, and their other music too of course, the first of which got me my manager in Hollywood. I've since turned it into a novel (at the suggestion of Gale Ann Hurd, producer of The Terminator franchise, The Walking Dead, etc.) and am currently working on the second novel.
Watching y'all reminds me of my first time getting ferociously high and REALLY paying attention to Black Sabbath... I reached pretty much the same as you... this came out when I was born!!!
"This is how music was intended to be played in the modern age." Timeless is the word you're looking for. I loved Sabbath back in the day, but now that music has gone to shit, I love them even more because I appreciate just how great they were as time passes. Keep 'em coming.
They almost never played this on the radio, we always listened to John Denver, or the Carpenters, while listening to this at parties! 😅 Smoking weed and drinking as kids.
Krazy is here for you 😂 Black Sabbath, "Children of the Grave" METALLICA, "Stone Cold Crazy"!! Iron Maiden, "Run to the Hills" Led Zeppelin, "The Song Remains The Same" MEGADETH, "Train of Consequences" 😂 I'm loving your channel!!
This album was given to me (by my favorite uncle) when I was 12. He's 80 now. Just a thought. You've got your feet wet with Sabbath now. Go back to the first album and experience it too. Like a successive list, interspersed like you normally drop. Sabbath heads like myself will be very patient and appreciative of this-plus-you'll enjoy it too-sorta like the "old days"
Tony Iommi once said in an interview " I Don't Know who said that we were a heavy metal band or where that term even came from. We're just a rock n roll band ".
keep going guys, theres much more!! cover supernaut and snowblind from the vol-4 album, guaranteed you will love them both, also --hole in the sky and a very long song called --megalomania from the sabotage album.....again youll thank me!!!
The last song on this album. That is how the album ends. Smoke a joint as Sweet Leaf starts and when it ends, you'll never have an experience like it again.
The term "Heavy Metal" first appeared in a Steppen Wolf song " Born To Be Wild" watch the " Easy Rider" intro credits'67 film directed/starring Dennis Hopper & Peter Fonda,the Label exploited the Band as Devil Worshippers,all along the Band saw themselves as a Hard Rock Band,the masses along with AR men categorize music(so they know which "section" to put them in,vinyl/cassetes/cd era
Amazing! Guys. You have to do megalomania and then after forever. Please!!!! This is why they’re the best. They invented this type of music and every song from the Ozzy years is perfection. They’re THAT good.
Funny you mention Reggae... They're from Birmingham England (Buuuhrmengum if you're a proppa Brummie innit) my entire family is from there, anyways Reggae was a huuuge movement in Birmingham in the 60s 70s and 80s... My uncle played bass in a punk band called XS, and their van and equipment got stolen by the reggae group UB40 LOL which had a couple massive hits in the 80s... Also this city is the main reason why the genre is called Heavy Metal. Its the birthplace.of the industrial revolution and all things METAL... The guitarist Tony Iommi severed his fingertips on his right hand (hes left handed so his right hand is his fretting hand) with a giant tool press when Sabbath was still a psychidelic blues band called "Earth" and makes his own prosthetic fingertips... Also, Birmingham is the birthplace almost every English band ever.... LOL Me I am Canadian, so hows it goin their, bud?
This whole album slaps.
There was no Doom Metal when this came out, we all just called it Hard Rock.
Correct! And what is doom metal doesn't really sound like this at all. It's just the rewriting of history pushed into the field if rock music
nobody called it world war one until after there was a world war two to reference the name to.

@@carcarjinks1430 Yeah, I'm in my place.
Doom metal is like saint vitus or pentagram
No Sabbath invented it
Bill Ward = drum god. Peace out.
Yuppers!!! 🥁 GOD 💫💥✨
Geezer Butlers bass is just disgusting… flat out nasty. And those drums??? 💪
I'm gonna' tell you- I had no real idea about or particular appreciation for Geezer's skill or presence until I saw Black Sabbath live in 2001, and I was absolutely mesmerized by everything I witnessed him doing onstage!
That's what got me into this song. Sure, Iommi is sick, but Geezer Butler's performance in this track is wack
I hope someday to have a cat or dog who deserves the name Geezer Butler.
I was largely in to punk, post-punk, new wave, and what is now called goth, back in the 80s, but I've always loved Black Sabbath, for many reasons, but that sludgy bass is just the best. Quintessential.
“White people reggae music” is the most accurate description of Doom Metal I’ve ever heard.
That was fucking beautiful 😂😂 I was like ohh noo fuck, is he right??
it's nothing like reggae music he's off the mark what the hell are you guys talking about
@@fredtello you can't see how a young dude who maybe mostly listens to hip hop would hear that vocal cadence, and draw back to his own musical experiences, which may include a lot of reggae may have come to make that joke?? Obviously it's not reggae music you dunce 😂😂😂
@@masediggity..your the dunce.. that would be like me as a white guy drawing back to my own musical experiences listening to reggae music and then saying wow that sounds like Ozzy Black Sabbath....
@@masediggity so you think that all black people listen to a lot of Reggae that's pretty stereotypical don't you think
Geezer back there, killing it on the bass through this whole song!
Like he always does, he's actually the reason i started playing bass about 40 years ago.
Can't give the creators of metal a subgenre. ALL metal is Black Sabbath.
" Lord of this World " off the same album is heavy asf also
seconded
Thirded
And the lyrics are like : damn😮
The tone of the guitar and bass still give me chills
THAT BASSSSSSSS!!!!!!
There is NOTHING better than Black Sabbath.
SNOWBLIND from Sabbath!!!!
Arguably the best Sabbath song off the best Sabbath album

Literally heavy metal led to Heavy Metal.
he had the accident on his last week at work after he signed with a label i believe. He had to change his whole style overnight.
It’s really hard to get much better than this. For the time this music was coming out and what they were doing is beyond incredible.
The world in general at that time and these guys were doing this. Lots of influential bands but Sabbath is a 1/1.
I saw sabbath 6 times during the Ozzy years...I'm still trying to recover.
This album is a masterpiece, truly the inception of heavy metal, Iommi began tuning his guitar down a few steps, to C# I believe, the sound of f'kn DOOM!
C sharp on this and CotG, D on Sweet leaf. They stayed at C sharp for all of the next insane album. o7
My man in the glasses feels the vibration of metal
Sabbath came out in the 60's and all of the original members are still alive
not a single misplaced note, pure perfection
This is their best album IMO.
I agree.
This song is what made me pick up a guitar at 15 yrs old🔥🤘🔥🤘
People make music now having listened to Sabbath. Sabbath did this without having listened to stuff like this. And we’re so advanced already. Truly an incredible once in a lifetime band.

The first six BS albums are the greatest six album run ever.
Facts
In my humble opinion Sabbaths best album
This is my favorite Sabbath album. I have it on cassette, CD and vinyl. That's how old I am...😆
One of my first albums. I bought it along with Who’s Next and Aqualung. Nice trip to the record store in 1971.
Lord of this world, from the same album. Absolute banger.
That tune is a mind blower for real. Haha.
You two get down!!!🥳We woulda been party bros back in the day!!🔥🎸This was one a the first songs I sniffed glue to in my best friend Wally’s (RIP WALL🙏🏽), barn while we was puttin a new piston in his Ossa 175! 🎸🎸🎸SABBATH RULES!! 🤠IM 63 and they still get this old boyz blood pumpin up🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🤠🥊🛠️

I can’t-I love your reactions to the magic that is Black Sabbath🥰Was before my time but fell into their spell at 13 and 48 now-there is no other🖤
Tony Iommi, is the riff God.
Bass oozing pure sludge
GUYS....THANK YOU FOR THIS💯
Thank you!--finally! My favorite. Glad it makes you happy.
One of my favorite albums We named to these back in high school. Now my daughter and her friends listen to it and my daughter plays the guitar as song plays ❤😊
Definitely can hear the heavy jazz influence in this song and a lot of their songs
"Electric Funeral" from the Paranoid LP is a must also.
Their formula for songs is so good. Every change up makes your head bob.
My standard comment. “Riff Kings”
Love Sabbath, and your reactions to them. Happy to see you being introduced to such incredible, timeless music.
You should definitely check out the three-man Canadian band The Tea Party.

"This feels like the foundation of music." Correct. Awesome job guys!
Of all the albums I've ever owned,I think this one has been played more than all the others combined.....Bill Ward taught me how to play drums!
One of the best LP's ever.
Before Black Sabbath , they were called " EARTH " getting their influences from Hendrix , CREAM and other bands.
Okay...I'll say it again...Thank you for helping me relive my adolescence! 😅
Oh boys! To watch you experience this!
The original heavy masters 🤘🤘🤘
Hard, Hard, Hard Rock.... Nothing less Bro.......
"This is how music was intended to be played in the modern age." Timeless is the word you're looking for. I loved Sabbath back in the day, but now that music has gone to shit, I love them even more because I appreciate just how great they were as time passes. Keep 'em coming.
I've been waiting for this reaction and you all didn't disappoint!
Metallica - Dyers Eve, Am I Evil, Damage Inc,
Rock n roll is always a jam session 🤘🤘🤘
Probably their best album
They almost never played this on the radio, we always listened to John Denver, or the Carpenters, while listening to this at parties! 😅 Smoking weed and drinking as kids.
They are talking about now from 50 years ago. Keeping it real lads, Cheers.
Led Zep tracks: Achillies Last Stand and In the Light are two of my favorite.
DIO - Don't talk to strangers a must listen great job guys
My fave sabbath LP, birth of stoner rock
This was new back then, good to see it is new again!
Now ya thick into it.
My favourite band. Keep up the good work gents!
His face was melting
i feel the same every time i herr them
To add to a BIG HELL YES to the already posts on reacting to Lord of this World and After Forever.
Krazy is here for you 😂 Black Sabbath, "Children of the Grave" METALLICA, "Stone Cold Crazy"!! Iron Maiden, "Run to the Hills" Led Zeppelin, "The Song Remains The Same" MEGADETH, "Train of Consequences" 😂 I'm loving your channel!!
You're going to love it guys
My favorite Sabbath album.
Killer! Love this song!
I just played this song on guitar about 30 min ago... then I see you reviewed it
Black sabbath falling off the edge of the world
Mixed with blues and hard 🎉 rock
Always thrilled to see new travelers enter the Rabbit Hole
May I suggest in my opinion the first Metal tune The Beatles Helter Skelter 🎸
This band created all that is heavy and thus the Metal was born! 🤘💀🤘 Smoke Weed and listen to Black Sabbath!
Another underrated Sabbath song you should do is After Forever
💯
When was it ever underrated? 🤔
Great song
@@Rock_Snob Perhaps doesn't get mentioned as much...
I fully support this. After Forever is one of the best Sabbath songs, and maybe my personal favorite.
The earliest and the fucking HEAVIEST ecologicaly concerned rock music!! OZZY A TREE LOVER!
This is my favorite Sabbath song. Snowblind is my 2nd favorite. You should do it next.
Uhh.. Snowbird?.. you mean Snowblind?
@Gil334 yes my stupid phone changes half of what I write
This album was given to me (by my favorite uncle) when I was 12. He's 80 now. Just a thought. You've got your feet wet with Sabbath now. Go back to the first album and experience it too.

The darkness of Rock was born into its rightful place...for all to taste...Enjoy😈
my boy is towww up!!!
Bit of Finger/Sleeping Village/Warning. Got to give it a try
For me, Children of the Grave is my favorite, then War Pigs, and this is 3rd, but all of Black Sabbaths songs rock 😊
I caught The End tour in ‘13; they played this live I lost my shit
Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘
Tony Iommi once said in an interview " I Don't Know who said that we were a heavy metal band or where that term even came from. We're just a rock n roll band ".
Hard Rock band. .Peace
Fellas, check out some solo Ozzy too, "Perry Mason" is lit af!!!!
Jimmy Hendrix: "Crosstown Traffic" and "Stone Free"
🔥🔥🔥
The first STONER ROCK album. It shouts I LOVE WEED!
🐐

pantera i said before but even kyuss is going to scratch this itch,
Kyuss, nice.
Allens Wrench?
100° or Isolation?
The last song on this album. That is how the album ends. Smoke a joint as Sweet Leaf starts and when it ends, you'll never have an experience like it again.
Jimi Hendrix Live version from Berkeley: Hear My Train A Comin'!
