The song is about a man who travels through time into the future and sees the end of the world. When he goes back in time, he goes through the great magnetic field mentioned in the song, turning him into Iron Man. When he tries to tell the world what will happen, nobody cares becuase he can't talk. Being so enraged by this, he goes on a killing spree, creating the end of the world that he foresaw. A great song! I AM IRON MAN!
Yes this song was actually in the end credits to one of the iron Man movies, and Black Sabbath is sprinkled throughout iron Man movies and marvel movies. I think Tony Stark was a bit of a metalhead
This song also plays in the very beginning level of the Iron Man PS2 game, which is where I initially discovered my love for heavy metal as a 4 year old child
After hearing this song and all the transitions it makes, all of the unconventional sounds from the guitars, the drums, the vocals, I hope that younger folks can understand why us older folks find most of today's music boring. Most of it has the same sound, the same beat, the same pace. The instruments are strictly conventional, the vocals are rarely unique, and the lyrics are about as poetical as Humpty Dumpty and covers the same literary themes. I'm not saying that all modern music is bad, but most music today is not written, not created, doesn't take risks. It's assembled from safe cords and rhythms specifically to turn a profit. Black Sabbath is the polar opposite.

Welcome to MY music! BTW doing that on sax in a Band class, I can't even imagine. Funny story. In 1972 I asked my best friend's sister, who was the dream girl of my life, un-beknownced to her, to go to the Black Sabbath concert that was coming to our town. I absolutely LOVED Ozzy Osborn and Black Sabbath and just KNEW that, even though I had acne and was very nerdy, my buddy's sister couldn't resist an invite to see Black Sabbath, even if it meant going with a geek like me, so I'd get my foot in the door and then take it from there. And she did. Well, as often happened with bands in that era, they cancelled the concert because somebody in the band had a overdose of one sort or another and, since I thought the love of my life was just going with me because, "free Black Sabbath ticket", right? I just called her and said I was sorry the concert was cancelled. Didn't offer a different sort of date, 'cause I was 17 YO and STUPID. Ended up driving around that night with a different friend of mine that had a car, went to a White Castle where all the "Heads" hung out at that time and met my girlfriend, wife and mother of my two daughters (not in that order). That lasted 5 years and ended in divorce and then I ran into my old best friend one day, found out his sister was now divorced. Got her number, wasn't a nerd any longer, ask her out, and married her and been with her for 41 years. The funny and sad part of this tale is that she didn't even know who Black Sabbath was when I asked her to go to the concert and she was just glad that I finally asked her out. She was very sad when I didn't attempt to take her somewhere else. There is a lesson in there somewhere but I get kinda teary-eyed when I try to reason it out. I love it when I find people that like Ozzy and his gang!
Ozzy is a true showman he loves to entertain do funny things. Someone tossed a Real bat on stage he bit the head off. Then, realized that was a real Bat. He had to get all kinds of shots. What a mess that was for him.. He said, things happen its all entertainment.
Man, that story sounds like something right out a romance manga/anime. Crossed paths and lost years because both people were too afraid to say anything. Super sad but I'm damn glad that it finally worked out for you.
The album this song is from "Paranoid" is probably the definitive metal record. If you can take only one record in this genre to the moon this is the one.
Good reaction folks. This album ( "Paranoid") was released in 1970 and nothing even remotely like it had come before. It is the original from which all things metal were born. It was also at the height of the Vietnam War and this song somewhat reflected the horrible way the men returning home from that war were treated by their own people. The first track from the album, "War Pigs" was also about the fallacy of that and all other wars. I believe you'll like and react well to it.
When this came out in 1970, this was VERY hard!! When the tops hits were Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, and Let It Be, Black Sabbath was inventing Heavy Metal.
Nope. You had Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly, Alice Cooper, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple etc. around the same time. Plenty of hard stuff being played back then.
@@michlkwitz Yeah, tens of thousands of $$$$ to listen to it properly any more. Today's multichannel A/V receivers don't seem to be able to do stereo justice, even from a turntable. My rig back in the day was a Kenwood 600 amp, Technics 1200 turntable with the factory arm and I believe it was a Shure head and stylus(needle), two AR-3's and two Bose 201's.
You two do realize that all this back in the day music is all instruments right? No computer generated shit. No auto tune. No enhancements. Talent, pure talent.
From what I had heard it is the original Backstory for the Iron Man character he was originally supposed to be a villain but marvel decided to make him a hero so they used the already established backstory for another character called Kang the conqueror
I was hoping I would see this in a comment because I have come across this too. There are some runs and a few of the animated Marvel movies where Tony Stark falls into sort of the darker side of things too
Black Sabbath's rhythm section was second to none. They were basically a garage band back in 1969 when this was recorded and yet they killed it. In the history of hard rock, Tommy Iommi is the undisputed riffmaster. Nearly every Black Sabbath song has an iconic riff. Coupled with Ozzy Osbourne's unique/annoying vocals? Brilliant.
Fairies wear boots* Sweet leaf* The First Metal band ever. It's so amazing to me that when this was new, 1970, they were dismissed as loud, messy, zero talent losers, but the kids knew what was happening, those same "kids" are in thier 50's, and 60's judging modern music in the exact same way. Music is magic .
Iron Man from Black Sabbath was released in 1970. I was in the 8th grade at the time and me and my friends thought this was the greatest thing we had ever heard. My parents, my teachers and everyone older than 25 hated it. Oh man those were the days.
Fairies wear boots my favorite. However it has been reacted to a lot. I like more to hear the forgotten songs. Not all of them. Some were not good. But some were incredible
I'm late getting to this review and you pointed out the meaning of the song. Time traveling back to save humanity and everyone ignores his warning and he turns out to be the exact demise for the destruction. 💯😎🤘

At that time riffs were very popular. Many bands had hits with riffs. You've already heard Led Zeppelin riffs, then Ten Years After had "Love Like a Man" riff-song, etc.
Ozzy is the lead singer a story of a make believe time traveler no real meaning , every tune on the paranoid album is 🔥🔥🔥 af , straight up cross my heart ✌❤🤘
The Road Warriors, if you you watched wrestling in the 80s used this as entrance music. It's famously called "The Road Warrior pop" for how crazy the fans would get. They always got the loudest reactions and other wrestlers strive to get that pop to this day.
I remember as a kid being in the arena and when you heard that little drum kick start everybody got out of their seats cause the Road Warriors were gonna come running down the aisle
So cool to hear her say that she knows the riff because of her brother. I grew up in Ireland and American High School bands would come over to Limerick in the 70s to play and March in The St Patrick’s Day Parade. My mates and me were at the 1973 or 74 parade and one of the US bands were playing Iron Man, it was way cool. It was great to see all the grown ups enjoying it not realizing it was Black Sabbath.
I started high school in 1976 when Black Sabath was popular. In the lunch cafeteria, over the loudspeakers, they played this song, nice and loud. It was a great new chapter in life for me then, high school and heavy metal. Still rocking. We are enjoying your videos!
Ozzy Osbourne was lead singer for Black Sabbath for many many years before going on his own. This is a metal clad rabbit hole. And Ozzy sings "Ha ha ha ha ha haaaa." With echo.
Interestingly, he credits his short stint with Jethro Tull for making Sabbath what it was. Tull was a serious band and practiced to perfect their music. Tony brought that work ethic to Sabbath.
@@maximilianodelrio Yes I'm aware of what the word means. He often gets lost in the shuffle when people talk about the GOATS of guitar players. People often jump to Hendrix, Page, Vaughn, Van Halen, etc. I think Tony deserves more recognition.
OZZY! The Godfather of Heavy Metal! This is what (at least partially) launched the 80's sound of heavy metal! OZZY pure GOAT! TY guys for the GREAT and FUN reactions! Try "N.I.B." or "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"! Bothe Great... actually you 'bout can NOT go wrong listening to any Sabbath! They are ALL GOATs!
Black Sabbath, along with Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, are seen as one of the three bands that created the "Heavy Metal" genre of music. The original lead singer is Ozzy Osborne--you've probably heard of him. The second lead singer was Ronny James Dio. Ozzy is the singer for this performance.
In the beginning the voice goes through what is called a ring modulator and electronic device which inspired me as a youth to put one together from scratch it was an electronic device basically an amplitude modulator
Now that you've started down the Black Sabbath rabbit hole, make sure to do "Black Sabbath - hand of doom" before you're done. Trust me, it's a must hear track.
Going back on a flashback to the early 80's, the band "Quiet Riot" was very big. They were the ones who ended up coining the phrase "head banger" which was what the fans of Heavy Metal / Hard Rock would be referred to by. They did it with the song "Metal Health", and it's worth a listen.

React to Edgar Winter's Frankenstein... and Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water... and then chase those with David Essex's Rock On... and Chris Isaak's Wicked Games
I remember playing this on my brother's record player, and the song STILL came out 3 years before I was *BORN*. That main guitar riff is what a LOT of beginning rock guitarists learn to play (it's actually pretty easy), along with Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water".
These guys were pushing the envelope of the time. Not only speed and overdrive but story telling that allows a person to project themselves into the song. Enough abstraction to allow anyone to hear what they want to hear.
The reason the base sounds like no other is because he lost the tip of his finger and was told he’d never play again. He rooted around the house and found a dish soap bottle and used the tip for his finger
This guitarist Tony Iommi had 2 of his finger tips severed working in a machine shop, then fashioned plastic and leather tips to continue playing guitar... awesome!
I kept waiting to see if you realized that the lead singer was Ozzy Osbourne, before he went solo he was in that group, keep up with the great content.
@@maxmcarnage7642 . . . I was about 13 when it first appeared, so I had the benefit of taking that journey as it was happening . . . . I don't think a week goes by that I miss listening to a Black Sabbath or Ozzy tune or two, so I'm still on the musical journey but, sadly, there's a lot of looking in the rearview mirror when it comes to these guys . . . .
My take on it is basically, a soldier who fought for his people and they needed him and once he won and came home nobody cared for him because they were all safe.
Great reaction. I sense “War Pigs” coming soon. I double dare you to watch the 1970 live version in Paris. That is definitely the one. It goes off the charts for power and passion!
The drums actually do it for me the most in this song. Wiki meaning (because song lyrics and meanings are super important to me -- and maybe to you): The lyrics tell the story of a man who time travels into the future and sees the apocalypse. In the process of returning to the present he is turned into steel by a magnetic field, and his attempts to warn the public are ignored and mocked. Feeling shunned and alone, Iron Man plans his revenge on mankind, causing the apocalypse seen in his vision. I don't know if you've reacted to this before (just getting familiar with your channel) but Warpigs is a MUST!
Everyone’s talking about the guitar riff, and nobody is giving Geezer Butler his props for that bass line. It’s almost a countermelody at times, and then goes right back into driving the song forward. And he does it without stepping all over Tony Iommi’s guitar.

Busta rhymes uses this song for his song "This Means War", worth a listen... and there is a christmas parody of "Iron Man: called "I Am Santa Claus" by Bob River & Twisted Radio
I gotta echo a couple other suggestions below. "War Pigs" will be fun for you guys because the lyrics are easy to hear, and theme easy to follow, and it's a killer song. "Paranoid" is the classic garage band song, has a cool tone and rhythm throughout, and shows off Geezer Butler's skills on the Bass.

Our God, Jesus Christ, decided to come down to Earth as a SINLESS human and sacrificed His life for our sins. Then He resurrected three days later! Therefore if you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Savior, you'll definitely have eternal life. Your existence is proof that God is real.

Welcome to MY music! BTW doing that on sax in a Band class, I can't even imagine.
Funny story.
In 1972 I asked my best friend's sister, who was the dream girl of my life, un-beknownced to her, to go to the Black Sabbath concert that was coming to our town. I absolutely LOVED Ozzy Osborn and Black Sabbath and just KNEW that, even though I had acne and was very nerdy, my buddy's sister couldn't resist an invite to see Black Sabbath, even if it meant going with a geek like me, so I'd get my foot in the door and then take it from there. And she did. Well, as often happened with bands in that era, they cancelled the concert because somebody in the band had a overdose of one sort or another and, since I thought the love of my life was just going with me because, "free Black Sabbath ticket", right? I just called her and said I was sorry the concert was cancelled. Didn't offer a different sort of date, 'cause I was 17 YO and STUPID. Ended up driving around that night with a different friend of mine that had a car, went to a White Castle where all the "Heads" hung out at that time and met my girlfriend, wife and mother of my two daughters (not in that order). That lasted 5 years and ended in divorce and then I ran into my old best friend one day, found out his sister was now divorced. Got her number, wasn't a nerd any longer, ask her out, and married her and been with her for 41 years. The funny and sad part of this tale is that she didn't even know who Black Sabbath was when I asked her to go to the concert and she was just glad that I finally asked her out. She was very sad when I didn't attempt to take her somewhere else. There is a lesson in there somewhere but I get kinda teary-eyed when I try to reason it out. I love it when I find people that like Ozzy and his gang!
Ozzy is a true showman he loves to entertain do funny things. Someone tossed a Real bat on stage he bit the head off. Then, realized that was a real Bat. He had to get all kinds of shots. What a mess that was for him.. He said, things happen its all entertainment.
Man, that story sounds like something right out a romance manga/anime. Crossed paths and lost years because both people were too afraid to say anything. Super sad but I'm damn glad that it finally worked out for you.
That is an amazing story.
I loved that story. Thank you.
BEST love story EVER!!!
The album this song is from "Paranoid" is probably the definitive metal record. If you can take only one record in this genre to the moon this is the one.
You are absolutely correct.
I loved all their albums but yeah. Paranoid is the best
But remember, the first singer to be listened to on the moon 🌚 was Merle Haggard! 👊🏾👌🏾
Who here besides me is waiting for him to realize that was Ozzy Osbourne and he just reacted to crazy train
Oh yeah it'll down on him for long
Me!!! Lol
Yes Crazy Train!
Highlarious....
Like to see there reactions to War Pigs
Good reaction folks. This album ( "Paranoid") was released in 1970 and nothing even remotely like it had come before. It is the original from which all things metal were born. It was also at the height of the Vietnam War and this song somewhat reflected the horrible way the men returning home from that war were treated by their own people. The first track from the album, "War Pigs" was also about the fallacy of that and all other wars. I believe you'll like and react well to it.
Ozzy just Tears it up in Black Sabbath. Tony Iommi kills it on the guitar and Bill Ward beats them drums like they owe money
Geezer on bass. Especially on NIB.
Anthony don't forget about getting a butler holding it down on the bass
When this came out in 1970, this was VERY hard!! When the tops hits were Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, and Let It Be, Black Sabbath was inventing Heavy Metal.
Sounds pretty hard today, unless you happen to be a fan of Grindcore or Blackened Death Metal.
Nope.
You had Blue Cheer, Iron Butterfly, Alice Cooper, Steppenwolf, Deep Purple etc. around the same time.
Plenty of hard stuff being played back then.
Growing up on old country and then listening to this when I was around 13 this scared the shit out of me……..LOL
The 60s and 70s ....the greatest era of rock music.
Agreed!
So glad I was coming of age during the 60s and 70s. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.
If you like this, try Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult and Frankenstein by Edgar Winter Group.... great stuff!!!!
+1 for Frankenstein. But they're gonna need headphones to enjoy it properly.
And to see the video for Frankenstein.
For sure
Oh NO... there goes Tokyo...
@@michlkwitz Yeah, tens of thousands of $$$$ to listen to it properly any more. Today's multichannel A/V receivers don't seem to be able to do stereo justice, even from a turntable. My rig back in the day was a Kenwood 600 amp, Technics 1200 turntable with the factory arm and I believe it was a Shure head and stylus(needle), two AR-3's and two Bose 201's.
You two do realize that all this back in the day music is all instruments right? No computer generated shit. No auto tune. No enhancements. Talent, pure talent.
Yup... real talent
Without a time limit ✌️
Boomer take
@@xx-ug9hn you have a different take?
Actually, Ozzy has used effects on his voice for most of his career.
From what I had heard it is the original Backstory for the Iron Man character he was originally supposed to be a villain but marvel decided to make him a hero so they used the already established backstory for another character called Kang the conqueror
I was hoping I would see this in a comment because I have come across this too. There are some runs and a few of the animated Marvel movies where Tony Stark falls into sort of the darker side of things too
Black Sabbath's rhythm section was second to none. They were basically a garage band back in 1969 when this was recorded and yet they killed it. In the history of hard rock, Tommy Iommi is the undisputed riffmaster. Nearly every Black Sabbath song has an iconic riff. Coupled with Ozzy Osbourne's unique/annoying vocals? Brilliant.
Black Sabbath album. “Paranoid” came out in 1970. I was 12 now I’m 63 and I still listen to it.
Us 70s BRATS ,, HAD it very good ,,,
Me to, loudly in the car windows open especially when around kids !!
Fairies wear boots* Sweet leaf* The First Metal band ever. It's so amazing to me that when this was new, 1970, they were dismissed as loud, messy, zero talent losers, but the kids knew what was happening, those same "kids" are in thier 50's, and 60's judging modern music in the exact same way. Music is magic .
Vanilla Fudge, Iron Butterfly are also progenitors too
It’s just nice to know that i’m old enough and somebody remembers the old Black Sabbath and the original Ozzy
Iron Man from Black Sabbath was released in 1970. I was in the 8th grade at the time and me and my friends thought this was the greatest thing we had ever heard. My parents, my teachers and everyone older than 25 hated it. Oh man those were the days.
Amber “you’re running that back ?”
What a wonderful couple you are
I get so much joy watching someone hear a song I've loved my whole life, and loving it for the 1st time.
Black Sabbath, “Paranoid”album is a masterpiece it doesn’t get much better.
Master of Reality.
Yes, it is a masterpiece and to think it only took them 6 to 7 days to record the album. Truly AMAZING!
@@tomrocks5367 That`s why it`s so great when it all comes together that fast. When you got it, you got it.
@@lancevaughn432 I agree, but they did slack off a little on it. It only took them 1 day to record their first album. LOL.
One of the best Albums EVER! stands the test of time!
This is the first track in my work out playlist. Nothing quite like looking at the rack and saying “I am IRON MAN!”
"Paranoid" and "War Pigs" are a must to get the full experience!
This song came out around 1968 or 1969 , yes Ozzy was their lead singer
If you have seen Marvel's 'Iron Man" - you have heard this song ! Love Black Sabbath and Ozzy !
A little at the end
It’s also in the beginning of Angry Birds.
Road warriors nwa entrance theme
If you like the switch ups and transitions please try "Fairies Wear Boots" next by these guys next!
You: Switch-ups and transitions.
Dream Theater: Hold my beer.
Type O Negative: Hold my vodka.
ooh that is another good song
Fairies wear boots my favorite. However it has been reacted to a lot. I like more to hear the forgotten songs. Not all of them. Some were not good. But some were incredible
Fairies Wear Boots, Quite possibly my favorite Black Sabbath song.
Absolutely.. also Into The Void from Master of Reality.
Its about a man who goes back in time to save the future but he ends up being the very thing he was trying to prevent
Holy X*&#
I'm late getting to this review and you pointed out the meaning of the song. Time traveling back to save humanity and everyone ignores his warning and he turns out to be the exact demise for the destruction. 💯😎🤘
Or watch the movie 🤣
It's also about bullying.

At that time riffs were very popular. Many bands had hits with riffs. You've already heard Led Zeppelin riffs, then Ten Years After had "Love Like a Man" riff-song, etc.
Their Supernaut is amazing
Ozzy is the lead singer a story of a make believe time traveler no real meaning , every tune on the paranoid album is 🔥🔥🔥 af , straight up cross my heart ✌❤🤘
I patiently waited for the connection that Ozzy is the singer after the "Crazy Train" reaction yesterday.
The Road Warriors, if you you watched wrestling in the 80s used this as entrance music. It's famously called "The Road Warrior pop" for how crazy the fans would get. They always got the loudest reactions and other wrestlers strive to get that pop to this day.
I remember as a kid being in the arena and when you heard that little drum kick start everybody got out of their seats cause the Road Warriors were gonna come running down the aisle
The greatest entrance song and the greatest tag team of all time.
It's good to see the younger generation experiencing the music I grew up on. I still love it all!
So cool to hear her say that she knows the riff because of her brother. I grew up in Ireland and American High School bands would come over to Limerick in the 70s to play and March in The St Patrick’s Day Parade. My mates and me were at the 1973 or 74 parade and one of the US bands were playing Iron Man, it was way cool. It was great to see all the grown ups enjoying it not realizing it was Black Sabbath.
It was played at the end of the first IRONMAN movie.
I started high school in 1976 when Black Sabath was popular. In the lunch cafeteria, over the loudspeakers, they played this song, nice and loud. It was a great new chapter in life for me then, high school and heavy metal. Still rocking. We are enjoying your videos!
Ozzy Osbourne was lead singer for Black Sabbath for many many years before going on his own. This is a metal clad rabbit hole. And Ozzy sings "Ha ha ha ha ha haaaa." With echo.
This was the first time I fell in love with Ozzy's voice!
Tony Iommi is such an underrated guitarist. The man is incredible and he has two prosthetic finger tips!
Interestingly, he credits his short stint with Jethro Tull for making Sabbath what it was. Tull was a serious band and practiced to perfect their music. Tony brought that work ethic to Sabbath.
Tony Iommi is NOT UNDERRATED. Do you even know what that word means? He's one of the most famous, iconic, influential and praised musicians EVER
@@maximilianodelrio Yes I'm aware of what the word means. He often gets lost in the shuffle when people talk about the GOATS of guitar players. People often jump to Hendrix, Page, Vaughn, Van Halen, etc. I think Tony deserves more recognition.
watch BLACK SABBATH - "Iron Man" (Official Video) and see the small drum set he is playing . Bill Ward was beating the hell out of those drums.
OZZY! The Godfather of Heavy Metal! This is what (at least partially) launched the 80's sound of heavy metal! OZZY pure GOAT! TY guys for the GREAT and FUN reactions! Try "N.I.B." or "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"! Bothe Great... actually you 'bout can NOT go wrong listening to any Sabbath! They are ALL GOATs!
Black Sabbath, along with Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, are seen as one of the three bands that created the "Heavy Metal" genre of music.
The original lead singer is Ozzy Osborne--you've probably heard of him. The second lead singer was Ronny James Dio. Ozzy is the singer for this performance.
I am just waiting for the day these two que up ac/dc "thunderstruck"😁
In the beginning the voice goes through what is called a ring modulator and electronic device which inspired me as a youth to put one together from scratch it was an electronic device basically an amplitude modulator
Now that you've started down the Black Sabbath rabbit hole, make sure to do "Black Sabbath - hand of doom" before you're done. Trust me, it's a must hear track.
Going back on a flashback to the early 80's, the band "Quiet Riot" was very big. They were the ones who ended up coining the phrase "head banger" which was what the fans of Heavy Metal / Hard Rock would be referred to by. They did it with the song "Metal Health", and it's worth a listen.
"Is This Song In The Marvel Movies?"
Yes, it was used in the closing credits of "Iron Man"
But, the song predates the movie by about 30+ years
The song almost predates the first appearance in the comics. Song was 1973? Comic was 1967?

React to Edgar Winter's Frankenstein... and Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water... and then chase those with David Essex's Rock On... and Chris Isaak's Wicked Games
I listened to Sabbath back in the 80s. And still do.
he was sent to the future to help mankind and we of course turned our backs on him
I remember playing this on my brother's record player, and the song STILL came out 3 years before I was *BORN*. That main guitar riff is what a LOT of beginning rock guitarists learn to play (it's actually pretty easy), along with Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water".
These guys were pushing the envelope of the time. Not only speed and overdrive but story telling that allows a person to project themselves into the song. Enough abstraction to allow anyone to hear what they want to hear.
The reason the base sounds like no other is because he lost the tip of his finger and was told he’d never play again. He rooted around the house and found a dish soap bottle and used the tip for his finger
Watch the original Iron Man Movie and you will absolutely hear this song. Of course the song was around decades before the Movie.
This guitarist Tony Iommi had 2 of his finger tips severed working in a machine shop, then fashioned plastic and leather tips to continue playing guitar... awesome!
The founders of Heavy Metal
I kept waiting to see if you realized that the lead singer was Ozzy Osbourne, before he went solo he was in that group, keep up with the great content.
1970 Was just starting when this came out on the radio ,,

@@maxmcarnage7642 . . . I was about 13 when it first appeared, so I had the benefit of taking that journey as it was happening . . . . I don't think a week goes by that I miss listening to a Black Sabbath or Ozzy tune or two, so I'm still on the musical journey but, sadly, there's a lot of looking in the rearview mirror when it comes to these guys . . . .
I was a junior in high school when I saw Black Sabbath in concert back in 1972. Awesome . . .
My take on it is basically, a soldier who fought for his people and they needed him and once he won and came home nobody cared for him because they were all safe.
Great reaction. I sense “War Pigs” coming soon. I double dare you to watch the 1970 live version in Paris. That is definitely the one. It goes off the charts for power and passion!
Steppenwolf may have coined the term "Heavy Metal," but Sabbath gave birth to the genre of rock that is Heavy Metal. A truly savage riff.🤘
It's funny that you just reacted to Ozzy and didn't know he was the singer for Black Sabbath.
There is a parody of this song where they made it about Santa Claus, a good Christmas tune to add to your holiday season.
"Paranoid" is another great Black Sabbath track.
The drums actually do it for me the most in this song.
Wiki meaning (because song lyrics and meanings are super important to me -- and maybe to you): The lyrics tell the story of a man who time travels into the future and sees the apocalypse. In the process of returning to the present he is turned into steel by a magnetic field, and his attempts to warn the public are ignored and mocked. Feeling shunned and alone, Iron Man plans his revenge on mankind, causing the apocalypse seen in his vision.
I don't know if you've reacted to this before (just getting familiar with your channel) but Warpigs is a MUST!
Everyone’s talking about the guitar riff, and nobody is giving Geezer Butler his props for that bass line. It’s almost a countermelody at times, and then goes right back into driving the song forward. And he does it without stepping all over Tony Iommi’s guitar.

Hey Jay and Amber, you guys had reacted to the lead vocalist as a Solo artist, specifically Ozzy Osbourne
Black Sabbath is one of the bands that are the godfathers of Rock
I was a teenager in the 70's and went to all their concerts and when l had kids l took them to see them in concert, one of the best rock bands ever!🤟😜
It’s Ozzy, man…….and Geezer. And Tommy. And Bill. Icons, all.
Tony not Tommy.

The SOUTHPAW LEGEND Tony Iommi /,,,/ ROCK ON DUDEZ \,,,\
Busta rhymes uses this song for his song "This Means War", worth a listen... and there is a christmas parody of "Iron Man: called "I Am Santa Claus" by Bob River & Twisted Radio
Had to scroll pretty deep to find someone actually mention this. Great reaction for a channel for Rap fans.
I gotta echo a couple other suggestions below. "War Pigs" will be fun for you guys because the lyrics are easy to hear, and theme easy to follow, and it's a killer song. "Paranoid" is the classic garage band song, has a cool tone and rhythm throughout, and shows off Geezer Butler's skills on the Bass.
Yesssss, war pigs!
I wish you would have watched video really so you could see OZZY when he was young. Why the comments were spammed yesterday after Crazy Train 🤣
I love both of you so much!
This is like one of the first 2-3 songs EVERYONE learns on guitar.
Isn't Stairway one of the others?
And the riff from Smoke on the Water
I learned the forbidden riff and then Iron Man. Haven’t touched a guitar in years but could play both right now without problem.
I remember in the '90s, this was my son's favorite song at the age of 10. He would talk about the story. He just loved it.
I first heard this song back in ‘83, watching the Greatest Tag Team Of All Time enter the squared circle, The Road Warriors!
The rif is stuck in everyones head.
AGAIN, you are missing so much great production and sounds of guitar in one ear, drums in the other, and the sounds going into the other ear and the bouncing back and forth without reacting with headphones... great reaction though...
Totally agree!
Must wear headphones!
I love it when the drums pan from one side to the other and back 😋
Great reaction, guys. I just watched your reaction to Kansas. If you enjoyed that (which is EPIC by the way) you should check out I Heard It Through The Grapevine by Creedence Clearwater Revival. You Will be SHOOK! I have so many suggestions but first and foremost...CHECK THIS OUT! Lol! You will not regret it!
