Bill Ward treated every drum set like he had a personal grudge against it. Man could do more with just four drums and a couple of cymbals than most drummers can do with a full kit.
I've read that the lyrics were inspired during the band's residency in Germany where they saw American servicemen coming back from Vietnam with serious heroin addictions. I dont know if the story is true, however.
This is the same story I have also heard. For all the Satan worshiping reputation that Sabbath got, they were a very political band and there were a lot of anti-war themes in the Paranoid album.
Absolutely True!! That's what they did to Numb themselves from the realities they faced And So Readily Available!! What Happened Once the Choosen Few actually made it home Alive??? Like the Government and the Rich Man Really gave a Shit! Less people we got to take care of $$$$. Population Control continues to this Day thanks to the Rich Man and Pharmacology creating new Addicts and Certain Death!!
That sounds more than just a little plausible. Most Nam vets were huge Sabbath fans and they knew that songs like this were about PTSD related drug addiction. Check out Bill Ward's interview where he talks about how vets would go to shows and lift their wheelchair bound friends in the air to see the show! San hated the war and the connection between them and fans coming back from it was real. Those kinds of lyrics were also the reason that early punkers that hated metal always regarded Sabbath as the exception to the rule.
@@md244-w6v They were some lower class boys they enter rock scene and when they got some serious money everyone wanted to earn from them.But lyrics like these imo are proof that they care about society s problems unlike most 70s bands who care only about girls parties and drugs and their song s lyrics are only about these things
I just thought I would drop a thought about this track. I have listened to Sabbath since the mid 1980s and I liked this track, you know it was groovy. Than I joined the Army later and went to Iraq, tranisitioned out of the Army a while later. I have friends and fellow veterans that have struggled with opioid addiction and started doing heroin because it was cheaper. I have seen it killing them. Now this song hits very hard. It has some sort of universal relevance for someone struggling with that kind of addiction. It's actually hard to listen to and not tear up for me, it's just hard to listen to.
I'm watching your reaction to Sabbath's Hand of Doom. I can see you felt the vibe in that tune. You can't help but move. It's an anti heroin song. Anti slamming. I was in 8th grade when this came out. It's amazing the whole album is 50 years old.
Sabbath is very Jazz/Avant-garde influenced; That is the reason why there are so many well orchestrated changes and parts in a lot of their music. This undeniably some of the greatest music ever written!
The song was inspired by Vietnam veterans returning home, suffering from PTSD and turning to drugs. It's a great anti-war song that looks at the affects of war on individuals, and how it's almost impossible to deal with the realities of war.
Great reaction! Great song! Can i suggest Black Sabbath first album called Black Sabbath and a life changing song called “Warning” one of the best rock songs ever.
Shouts out to Freddy. I’m glad you were feeling this one. I’m a big big Sabbath fan. Especially the b-side songs. They were masters. They wanted to sound scary and they nailed it. The song was definitely about that H. A lot of these old rock bands had anti drug songs. Not weed, or mushrooms, but the real drugs out there. I like the line, “You know you must be blind. To do something like this. To take the sleep that you don’t know. You’re giving death a kiss.” Hey, that’s real. Great reaction.
@@bookreaderson I was driving a truck when the Dehumanizer album came out. I was up and down the top half of the state most days. While I'm driving I'm listening to that album in a cassette. One day I reach down to flip the cassette once again, and there was no writing on either side of the cassette. That means I flipped that cassette so many times I rubbed all the ink off! Try and rub ink off a cassette,can't do it just like that, handling over time? Freaked me out. Point is, if you a Sabbath music fan their music is the air you breathe, like it or not, the play is the play. So, if you don't particularly care for the album doesn't mean anything negative in particular, and it doesn't affect your status as a Sabbath fan, but there are some people who live and die with their music and I was one. No one knows that period of time for Sabbath, because they weren't advertised. If you were a Sabbath fan looking for the next one you found it, but during all those years of the new music with DIO, I listened hard, and paid attention hard, and those albums never got one of the new pieces of music played. They always played Ozzie years Sabbath, all the time its Ozzy years. Now don't get me wrong. My mind was totally blown listening to the 1st song on the first album. I had never heard anything close to what that was! Guy screaming NO, No Please God help me, and music crashing in after that, they got me hook, line and sinker. Now, they had what I called their commercial period, and I didn't like that, because they were selling repackaged songs, songs from performances at concerts, and main stream albums, that were up to code, but I didn't like the idea that I was to buy everything the did even though it was the same stuff. So, I stepped off for a couple of years, and enjoyed other top rockers. Dehumanizer kept me alive. Driving that truck was the most boring period of my life, and I never thought on it a second. As long as I had the cassette and backup batteries, nothing else mattered I didn't need a mind . To your point, when I got a Sabbath album, and I didn't particular take to it, I knew I had to listen to it again, and again and again, and then it comes through just want exactly is happening here. I find movies are the same, sometimes you have to watch more than once and then you'll see something you didn't see previously. Hey Look, you know what you like and if you don;t like that album, cool, that album with the angel babies sitting down smoking cigarettes rapping on the days events? It took me a long time to get to loving that album and it was years after it came out, but they had so many new concepts in that album, that were new to me, that it's one of my favorites. Recently I watched interviews of DIO explaining why he and Sabbath split. I've seen Iommi, who I worship, and heard him speak, and it is who Sabbath is, Iommi and Geezer, they are Sabbath. DIO was great and had a great sound, but I suspect he was quite full of himself leading Sabbath, but he failed to understand, he was just the singer. There is a album called Iommi, where the guy had a female lead singer on one his songs, It was so amazing, I never conceived a female singing under a Iommi riff. It was great, but that whole album is great and is a testament to how a lead singer is found. You can essentially find anybody with a decent voice who could be a lead singer, it's the music the lifts it and carries it off. I talk too much and write too much I will end here. I don't look for album from Sabbath much these days, though I hear now and then, they going to do something. I was reading they think they made a big mistake rejoining Ozzy for a final tour. Ozzy's now a giant in his own right, so, things didn't work out, and I for one, am glad, the voice I heard was crap, and nothing like that 1st song on the first album that stole my life. Be easy.
I know, At least with Osbourne, Black Sabbath encompassed soul/funk, blues, grunge, protometal sounds. The beginning drum beat sounds like Curtis Mayfield
Check the whole album man. It's considered the greatest metal album of all time by a lot of people. Review the band RUSH. Tom Sawyer is the song to start with. It'll blow your mind.
Ok, the album cover that you're showing is an album done with Ronnie James Dio. That threw me off for a second. I have that album by the way and its really badass. Dio left Black Sabbath in 82 and he returned to do this one last album in 92. And it's one of those albums that are good from beginning to end. But anyway, Hand of Doom, Ozzy, still badass
That's the way that they used to write music back then, a lot of it was ever changing within one track! Especially progressive rock! Check out Iron Butterfly In A Gadda Da Vida, Pink Floyd Echoes, Yes Close To The Edge, Genesis Supper's Ready, Jethro Tull Thick as a Brick, Cat Stevens Foreigner Suite, Nektar Remember The Future, Renaissance Song of Scheherazade and Rush Hemispheres! As well as concept albums like The Moody Blues Days of Future Passed, most Pink Floyd albums, Yes Tales from Topographic Oceans, Genesis The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Rush Caress Of Steel (side 2), Rush 2112 (side 1), Jon Anderson Olias of Sunhillow and Nektar Recycled!
This Song Still Applies Today!! Same as Curtis Mayfield's "Freddie's Dead"!! So Glad Someone FINALLY Reacted to this Song as I've been Begging!! The LYRICS VERY IMPORTANT AS A MESSAGE IS BEING SENT HERE!! OBTW It's ALL ONE SONG!! That's how they did it Back Then!! That's Ozzy Osbourne on vocals with Bill Ward, Tommy IOMMI!!
Bo- Dwayne is how my English buddy's say it . Its all good tho . I have trouble pronouncing it sumtimes lol . ... when ozzy says , first it was the bomb , Vietnam napalm ...napalm was a type of weapon that attack jets would drop on enemy positions in the Vietnam war , in witch the song was written and recorded , the late 60s early 70s . It was a controversial weapon cuz it was basically gasoline in a jelly form , like vasoline sorta. It would burn intensely on skin or villages and that was a big no no . So ther was lots of protests against in during that era .
Great interpretation once again my freind. I always took it as an anti- know what ur getting into , not a happy ending , drug song , yet your decision live with kind of thing . Make your bed lie in it ...or die in it , how ever the outcome . That jazz drum beat tho !!!@. The term heavy metal is real in the heavy parts . ..another kind of stuff like this is the band called down ( learn from your mistakes ) or various alice in chains songs .
When You Listen to Sabbath and Rock (good rock) many musical transitions and Most Importantly!! Gotta Pay CLOSE ATTENTION To the Lyrics!! There is a story or lesson to tell!! Thanks for Covering this tune!! This Song despite coming out in the very early 70s, and like Curtis Mayfield's "Freddie's Dead " Definitely Applies Today as Well if not More so!!
You could spend the day listening to this group and sill find great songs the next day..."we sold our souls for rock and roll" is one of their 1st, and IMO best compilation albums. Heres a song off of it titled, WARNING ua-cam.com/video/zV32Ucgvwn4/v-deo.html Or this one about Sweet Mary Jane ua-cam.com/video/HY6ghH8ax1I/v-deo.html
Junkies are made every day in our world. The thing is that before they ever become addicted to the heroin they shoot up, they are addicted to the needle. That rush is unequaled in doing hard drugs. So the needle brings a fast as fuck high, first time I tried it...it knocked me off my feet literally. Then came the emptying of the stomach, it’s why folks typically shoot up in the bathroom, sitting on the floor so they can puke. After a very brief puke, you are forever after going to remember that first time. It is super intense, never has anything else knocked me off my fucking feet! There’s a Lou Reed song that described it perfectly. That was a lifetime ago, almost 50 years but it’s as clear in my memory as if were yesterday. Haven’t used a needle since. 😎
You paid attention well. You missed the Part where Ozzy said “first it was the Bomb (as in the atomic) then Vietnam and Nepal… nothing happened in Nepal it actually was Laos. But it rhymed to say Nepal. In other words the addiction of a veteran of war trying to escape reality by using heroin. Soldiers are given drugs so to fight fear and go forward and fight. Those who survive may be addicted to what they were given thereafter if they make it out of war alive.
@@ianpodmore9666 You are right!. When I heard the lyrics another time I realized that error, but I couldn't remember where I had made the comment. Hence, I couldn't correct it. That fuel gel that was used in bombs right!, I think it is spelled "Napalm" I think the Americans used it in Vietnam and Laos. Yeah, thank you for your comment. But the two words kind of sound similar, don't you think?. Thank you for reading the comment and also for your politeness. You must be Canadian, LOL.
I find it very evil to put that Dehumanizer album cover there as a lure. I have heard all Ozzy songs with Sabbath a million times, but Dehumanizer this young black folks knows Dehumanizer? I'm interested. It was a dirty, nasty friggin' trick and I resent the hell out of being tricked that way. As you tell I am not happy, and I let him know.
No lure that’s what google images had when I typed it in. I don’t have to lure for a song I don’t know. Right? Niggas are mad every day my g. You’ll survive
Wrong album cover in the thumbnail bro. This song is off of their album "Paranoid" (1970). The cover art on your thumbnail is their "Dehumanizer" album (1992) featuring a different singer and drummer. Still a great album by the way, but a completely different sound also.
That's the wrong album cover, just so you know. Hand of Doom is from the second album, Paranoid, from 1970. The album cover you have up is from Dehumanizer (a great album) from 1992.
Ok cool story true story, i was at a pool hall and i decided to play this song on the juke box. Now it was mid afternoon handful of people there it wasnt until the YOU MUST BE BLIND part THEY TURNED IT DOWN. I havent been back since
Sabbath gives you the gift of a "stank face". Especially in their beginnings they were not only dark (and kind depressing) and aggressive but groovy and they could definitely swing. They kinda came out right after the flower power era of the peace and love 60's. By that time Alice Cooper was starting to shock audiences with his show, and Sabbath started right off gloomy and kinda miserable with their lyrics. Much in a British tradition of gloomy bands of all genres.
@@RenR70 he's good. but people get all caught up in. I choose so and so, just because a lot of others make the same choice. Crowd influence I guess. But name someone else who could play war pigs live in Paris like Ward...
Bill Ward on drums, everybody!
There is no other.
Bill Ward treated every drum set like he had a personal grudge against it. Man could do more with just four drums and a couple of cymbals than most drummers can do with a full kit.
William Thomas Ward, a man of distinction and taste.
He's amazing, but give props up to Geezer Butler on the bass....
Those four were magic for those first 6 albums.
The singer is the one and only prince of darkness. Ozzy Osbourne.
alice cooper is the king
one of the best anti drug songs ever written
ironic though cus Ozzy is probably the musician who did the most drugs
@@lethayle3388i don't think ironic, addicted people are the ones who know better about the negatives of being an addict
I've read that the lyrics were inspired during the band's residency in Germany where they saw American servicemen coming back from Vietnam with serious heroin addictions.

This is the same story I have also heard. For all the Satan worshiping reputation that Sabbath got, they were a very political band and there were a lot of anti-war themes in the Paranoid album.
That was the story they told on "Biography" (A@E), seems pretty legit.
Yeah the lyrics are by "Geezer" Butler, the bassist, and that's what he said inspired it.
Absolutely True!! That's what they did to Numb themselves from the realities they faced And So Readily Available!! What Happened Once the Choosen Few actually made it home Alive???

Black Sabbath had a lot of anti-drug songs. Too bad they couldn't listen to Black Sabbath growing up.
Lots of anti drug songs from the most drugged up singer ever, a miracle of medical science lmao tragic

Favorite Sabbath track ever. Blew my mind when I was a kid.
Anti drug, anti war, ptsd awareness, all in one song, in 1970
I just thought I would drop a thought about this track. I have listened to Sabbath since the mid 1980s and I liked this track, you know it was groovy. Than I joined the Army later and went to Iraq, tranisitioned out of the Army a while later.

You’re hearing one of the most sampled beats in history in this song.

It's about heroin addiction and especially soldiers who came back from Vietnam who turned to it when they came back.

This song is not from that album cover "Dehumanizer". Said album is with Dio. I believe this song is from their second album, "Paranoid"
I find it very evil to put that Dehumanizer album cover there as a lure. I have heard all Ozzy songs with Sabbath a million times, but Dehumanizer this young black folks knows Dehumanizer? I'm interested. It was a dirty, nasty friggin' trick and I resent the hell out of being tricked that way. As you tell I am not happy, and I let him know.
No lure that’s what google images had when I typed it in. I don’t have to lure for a song I don’t know. Right? Niggas are mad every day my g. You’ll survive
Bill Ward is a BEAST \m/ 👹 \m/
took long enough to see this a total anti-drug song.....even better the second time listening to this tune
Check out the cover of this by the band HIM. Hand of Doom live at Turku. :)
This is one song.
Hand of Doom
Legendary
Wrong album cover in the thumbnail bro. This song is off of their album "Paranoid" (1970). The cover art on your thumbnail is their "Dehumanizer" album (1992) featuring a different singer and drummer. Still a great album by the way, but a completely different sound also.
Hell yeah 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Heroin!
If you haven't already: Black Sabbath: War Pigs
Yes yes it's about drug addiction. War on drugs
That's the wrong album cover, just so you know. Hand of Doom is from the second album, Paranoid, from 1970. The album cover you have up is from Dehumanizer (a great album) from 1992.
Addiction fo sho🤯🤯💩💉💉
The song is about them witnessing soldiers returning home from Vietnam hooked on heroin and the effects it had on them.
Singing about vietnam vets coming home and hooked on heroin.
Because no one was talking about it.
In the words of the kid on the Megadeth Peace Sells video: "This IS the news!"
It's about Vietnam vets and their addiction to heroine
Wrong album cover bro,Ronnie James Dio sings on Dehumanizer .
if this video is about the track hand of doom, why does the thumbnail show the dehumanizer lp?
1970
Ok cool story true story, i was at a pool hall and i decided to play this song on the juke box. Now it was mid afternoon handful of people there it wasnt until the YOU MUST BE BLIND part THEY TURNED IT DOWN. I havent been back since
Sabbath gives you the gift of a "stank face". Especially in their beginnings they were not only dark (and kind depressing) and aggressive but groovy and they could definitely swing.
They kinda came out right after the flower power era of the peace and love 60's. By that time Alice Cooper was starting to shock audiences with his show, and Sabbath started right off gloomy and kinda miserable with their lyrics. Much in a British tradition of gloomy bands of all genres.
LOW END NEEDED IN MIX.....
I clicked on your channel thinking i would get Dio sabbath. Wrong album cover my man
I know that’s what google image had for ya boy. Not the end of the world
Going for a horse ride.

Bonham = love him... Baker nah, wayyy over rated.... Bill Ward, = he's the man.

@@RenR70 he's good. but people get all caught up in. I choose so and so, just because a lot of others make the same choice. Crowd influence I guess. But name someone else who could play war pigs live in Paris like Ward...
