Only Black Sabbath can rhyme "masses" with "masses" and get away with it
in their defense they were using 2 different meanings.
It's two different words. I teach English...sorry.
RICK KLINGER Even if the meanings are differents they still rhymed with identical words... Besides this is an old joke about Sabbath lyrics anyways. Usually language teachers appreciate language humor 😂
No they aren't, they're the same word with different meanings.
Yeah Rick, I'm sorry that you teach English too. I don't care if you're an English prof at Oxford it's the same spelling and sound when spoken as a rhyming couplet. So get the fuck over it, Ozzy rhymed masses and masses. Nobody said they had the same definition. That's pedantry mixed with sophistry pal. NachoFast said it was a rhyming issue, not a definition issue. Step away from the straw man.
I cannot believe this song is 50 years old. Fifty.
Wait a sec, how old does that make me?

Bill Ward is one of the best and most overlooked drummers EVER...
Him and Alex is my favs
Lars Ulrich too
....and Geezer one of the best bassists!
EVER!!!!
This is a comment I could not agree with more. I absolutely love Sabbath and I saw them in 2015 but sadly Bill Ward wasn’t able to make it but they were still FANTASTIC
Remember dude, this song was from Sabbath’s album “Paranoid”, which was released in 1970. 19fucking70! It was absolutely revolutionary for rock music at the time.
it was actually made during the height of the Vietnam war.
Can you imagine what it was like to put the vinyl on the turn table and this is the first thing you hear and there is nothing else like it to compare to? It had to have been absolutely mind blowing!
@@zakkmylde1712 i do not need to imagine it i was 14 when this was released. Awe inspiring. 🤯
Released the same day the news reported Jimi Hendrix had died.
Not only is this metal at its core, this is where it was born.
Birmingham baby
I actually believe Johnny Cash was the original metal. Distort the guitars and speed it up slightly and it's metal af. He's a man dresses in black singing about drugs and violence with triplets and solos throughout. His voice was low like in metal. He just had only country to base it off of so it has that vibe and classification. Johnny Cash is where metal began. Sabbath created a conflagration from the spark. That's what I believe anyways. Ozzy is in his own league though.
@@burningstar1793
Wrong, Johny Cash was actually a mix of country and blues, but had some rock combined too . (Or at least some beta version) Rock's roots actually go far as back as the 40's, 30's, and even the 20's ! The invention of electric guitars and distortion heavily contributed to the evolution of rock . Rock turned into the rock we know today during the 70's and 80's . The Beatles and many more contributed to the formation of popular music and rock as we know it .
Sorry about this. I'm kinda a music nerd.
Well technically, Black Sabbath was the first metal song
@@shashankiyer5751
Well, you could say that too.
Black Sabbath literally invented Heavy Metal.
Even Iron Maiden, and the Big 4 owe credit to Sabbath.
So True!
They didn't invent it, but they perfected it!!! And atleast Iron Maiden and Metallica actually spoke out about indeed being influenced by Black Sabbath.
Corey Taylor sayd that "..any band of the past 35 years say they are NOT influenced by Black Sabbath, are fucking liars! "..later on he said.. Rate my top 5 Metal Albums ever? "The first five Black Sabbath Albums !!!! "
its Black Sabbath Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple for bandnames, and Led Zeppelin is NOT Metal, in fact 90% of their ouvre is accoustic, but their live prescence made them big. The frst true Stadiumrockers.
@Rohan Tiwari Here, one for you, have a great weekend.... ua-cam.com/video/AAlUd3MTNWA/v-deo.html
I would like to submit early Jethro Tull to this list, anyone agree ?
Some of the nastiest bass ever laid down.
Jim Carpenter The Geez totally tears it up on this song. This whole damn album, actually.
Damn right...Go Geezer!
Listen to into the Void by Black Sabbath mind blown.
Bass?
Band-Maid
You couldn't hear the guitar? Many people make the mistake of thinking the guitar is the bass.
Masterpiece.
The real creators of Heavy Metal.
Sabbath created the road, the others just followed the way.
The First Metal Band :)

17 dislikes must come from politicians!
John Green now 19
No...they hide themselves away
John Green fact
James Smith, yeah, he is a little basic and hyper, but he's a good kid, nonetheless.
Or the crazy genocidal madmen, Islamic supremecists, and communists who have started 99% of the war in Earth's history, and others have to step in and stop them before the world becomes a hellish dystopia. Probably those guys.Yeah, greedy politicians start the wars... Naïve lyrics, but a musically great song.
and this song was made in 1970... nearly 50 years ago...
Just impressive.
Ozzy Osbourne's voice was amazing
Paul Sharkey IS amazing
Not even it still is!!!
Was the word was is PAST tense you mean IS AMAZING
Key word, was.
You mean is
They don't make heavy metal like this anymore
Totally agree. I think its bc Sabbath wasn't/isn't heavy metal, rather the godfathers of it. Black Sabbath is 100% rock and roll. Please dont take any disrespect/hostility in this reply. I liked your comment and thought I'd give a counter point ✌
Sword Black Soundgarden, 4th of July.
Five Finger Death Punch is close.. at least in my opinion.
@@69Badger69 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣NO!!!WTF They are nothing like BS..jesus dude..Learn your rock&roll
Judas priests newest album...
I've heard this song 1000000x and it still gives me chills
This is example #1 of just how much of a master of the guitar riff that Tony Iommi is. Go back and pay attention to the bass and you'll realize just how SICK Geezer Butler is at his craft. You mentioned it, Bill Ward, a beast on the drums. Hell of a combination, especially when you add Ozzy's vocal delivery. But def give props to Geezer, in my opinion, the best bassist in metal.
marc hendrickson geezer butler is great, but is shit compared to the mighty Clifford Lee Burton.
Thrasterpiece Without Geezer, there probably would not be a Cliff Burton. He set the table for what a metal bassist is supposed to sound like. No question though, Cliff is among the best, but it's hard for me to put the student ahead of the teacher.
agreed. Geezer Butler is the reason i started playing bass when i was a kid.
Tony Iommi wrote all the cool metal riffs before the ‘70s were over. Every metal guitarist after that is using him as a foundation.
I play bass because of Geezer (specifically the intro solo to NIB)
That guitar riff at the end when the girl is walking up the stairs is simple, but outstanding and so powerful. Very iconic.
Leon Audacity Everytime, i listen to this Song, I have become goosepumbs..Epic Riffs and an epic Singer!🤘🏼
Very simple to play, but hard to play without it sounding muddy
Dude, watch the video of the band actually playing their music. You need to see Bill kill the drums and how come nobody points out the bassist!!! Geezer is phenomenal ❤️ and yes this is metal baybayyyyy
I heard a few times Bill Ward had restraining orders put out against him by his drum kit :)
Yes, watch the live in paris from 1970! This video SUCKS and was recently made by someone on youtube.
Right on Ana!!!!
Most people forget the bassist, it's the drummer and bassist that are the backbone of a song. Go Geezer.
I am telling you- I saw Black Sabbath reunited in 2001 on the OzzFest, and had NO clue what Geezer what really about, until I saw him play live!! Holy shit!!
Those drum fills are so good 😍
yea there perfect! such a cool song
“O father o satan o son”
You gotta listen to that one dude
Fun fact about Sabbath: The US blasted rock music like Sabbath in Panama under Manuel Noriega. Noriega was an opera lover so this was obviously irritating him and after 10 or so days he gave up to the US.
Ew, Sabbath would have hated that.
Not the first ones to do that. In Afghanistan, they used to blast Motorhead from the tanks to scare talibans. I'm pretty sure Lemmy would have hated it too.
@@mdwb7024 I wouldn't even go that far, you know there's that whole trumpets at the walls of Jericho thing. In fact I'd wager that the tactic is as old as war itself.
@@Anubis78250 those trumpets literally destroyed the wall according to the story they weren’t trying to annoy the people to death
Man you should listen Mr. Crowley, that song have the best guitar solo ever,...by Mr. Randy Rhodes-R.I.P.!
Miguel Monteiro I love Randy Rhodes and his guitar work. He is probably the main reason I love Crazy Train by Ozzy and Mr Crowley as well. Plus I do believe that he is one of the original members of the heavy metal band Quite Riot. I think but I’m not sure.
Because I am usually not fully positive until I look it up.
Also, fun fact: guitarist Toni Iommi had the tips of two of his fingers sliced off in a factory incident (I believe index and middle) so his jams and solos come with a handicap.
Hence the birth of heavy metal
on the last day of work as they had just been signed, he had to relearn and use tape around the tops of those fingers to this day. if you search out an interview on it he was like fuck get signed then never be able to play again fuck that!
He tuned his guitar way down to stop the pressure on his fingers, which created the deep roar later called metal by those listening. He melted and custom fit plastic bottles over his fingertips to ease the pain as well. Even used banjo strings at times to ease it.
He said in an interview that if it wasn't for that accident he would not have created the sound that he does
He taught himself to play again with those two missing tips of his digits. He never gave up.
This is one of my favourites by Black Sabbath of all time
“Satan laughing spreads his wings” has got to be one of it not THE coolest line in this song
It just goes so good
My favorite Black Sabbath song. Saw them for the first time when I was 14 and now I'm 63. Amazing 50 year old message that's still relevant and true today.
You get it--great reaction Alex!
You are hearing one of the best left-handed guitar players of all time!!
And he has two rubber fingers on his fretboard hand.
One? More like the...
@@bearculb7717 The best part about Tony Iommi missing two fingers is that it happened on his last day working at the sheet metal factory where he worked before the band began to tour professionally.
I heard that in an interview he did. He was going to skip going back after lunch and his mom said he needed to finish what he started or something like that so he went back to finish his shift.
Jimi Hendrix might have something to say about it
Hendrix also dude, you’ll love his cover of Bob Dylan’s All Along The Watchtower.
Before Hendrix released it, Dylan heard him play AAtW live in New York. The first thing he said afterwards was "it's his song now."
But yeah, every time I hear War Pigs, I'm struck by how similar the instrumentals are to Jimi Hendrix' style. Sabbath distinguished themselves with lyrics, and basically developed Metal as we know it along the way, but instrumentally they started out sounding a *lot* like the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Yep, Hendrix's solo in that song is mind blowing
El Bruce Yeah, I don't think Dylan played it for around 25years after that. Not that he was bitter, more of what you said, a kinda, 'Well clearly must have written this for Jimi.'
Pretty much in the modern history of music, there are only two perfect examples of a creator happily gifting a song to a cover artist based solely on recognition of their talent with that song: 1) Dylan handing "Watchtower" over to Jimi, and 2) Trent Reznor handing "Hurt" over to Johnny Cash.
Greatest cover of all time
Toni Iommi lost two finger tips and is still one of the greatest ever.
Change WAS into " IS " !
That's the reason he is able to make the sound he does
Just the intro is foreboding, I was 12 when this came out, album centre was a spinout, great teenager music. I was so lucky, Pink Floyd, Sabbath, Zepplin, Bowie and the list goes on and on, golden age of music. The UK is responsible for so much great music
You gotta do more ozzy and black sabbath
Pragmatic Justice even the newer Ozzy stuff is amazing
Listen to Kashmir by Led Zeppelin
Yeeeeeessssss
It'll get blocked within minutes of being posted.
This and "Over the Hills and Far Away" are my favorites!!! 🐧🐧
without question my least favorite Zeppelin tune. So repetitive and boring in my opinion. I love Zep, but that song bores that crap out of me. The station gets changed if it comes on the radio. If you're going to do Zeppelin, there are so many better songs to review.
crazy for Kashmir!
Some of the best imagery ever "Begging mercy for their sins... Satan laughing spreads his wings"
When this came out in the early 70's it was unlike anything I had ever heard before. Like aliens had landed and put out an album.
The majority of the music you post I’ve listened to for years but I never took the time to research what it’s about so the fact that you make great content and teach us about the music we’ve listened to makes us appreciate the music more Thank You.
Angel Kingtana you’re very welcome
Angel Kingtana : yes I agree!!
I've been binge watching your vids all morning and was literally just thinking I wish you'd react to War Pigs because it's my favorite Sabbath song... and 20 minutes later I see this pop up in the recommended videos right after I subscribed. I'm so happy right now lol. So, since I'm commenting on a video and literally never do that on UA-cam, I gotta add my suggestion while I'm here... pleeeeease do Vermillion Pt. 1 & 2 by Slipknot (preferably in the same vid because they go together), and/or Snuff, that one's amazing too. And the videos for all three are incredible. You're awesome. That is all.
morgan. Vermillion part two is my favorite slipknot song outside of the u moshpit songs.
morgan : I am binge watching his videos right now! Lol...I love his reactions, And I agree about all your Slipknot suggestions!
This songs gives me chills every single time I hear it
It's like YOUR BLINDERS have been lifted, my friend!
Welcome to ROCK 🎸
Hefner's gather in their masses, just for reactions done by Alex.
"hefnerds" ;)
Deftones - Change (In the house of flies). Get it brah!
Ozzy and Black Sabbath the original headbangers!!!!
I'm 59 and this was *released* when I was *9* in 1970! and it's *still* a boss track!!!
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Blind Guardian - Valhalla Live, it's just incredible
You get so used to a song being a "metal classic" (which this certainly is) that you don't realise that it actually does have some very funky parts, and exceptionally jazzy drumming. Not just wall-to-wall metal. Iommi's guitar parts sound like the end of the world though. Amazing.
Yeah man these guys created the formula for metal but it was ultimately inspired by various different genres to create one new genre, classy asf
love bill wards drumming in this
Black Sabbath were heavily blues based, which seems to surprise people when they first hear the band
They were a blues band to start by the name of Earth.

Also sweet leaf and nib
Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell
Grew up on this- Classic genius
The final solo is the most overlooked guitar solos of all time music.
A masterpiece... touchy tune that can bring tears to the eyes..
Hey Alex! What's up bro? War pigs is such an amazing song... but, where's the Rainbow - Stargazer react video?? I'm waiting for it braaaa 😎🤘
Now you’re digging on the Blizzard of Oz.....telling you dude......I can hear the horns growing!😈
This is the original Heavy Metal Song. BLACK SABBATH invented the genre.
Fathers of Heavy Metal Paranoid is by far, my favorite Black Sabbath album.
GODS of metal
War Pigs is a very old song... I believe it's from 1971.
So it sounds different because it's Black Sabbath...the originals of heavy metal! 🤘
Scott Laboch Sr not to be picky but its 1970 from album Paranoid
Tracy Rose 😂😂😂 its cool Tracy, thanks for the correction! 👍🤘😊
I knew it was either '70-'71.
Old maybe, bad, not even close.
1970
Megadeth - Tornado of souls
I listen to this song every day. First song I ever learned on guitar. Each time I listen to it, I focus on something different. One day the drums, one day the bass, one day the guitar, one day the vocals, one day the meaning. It's just a masterpiece
for me the laid back drumming is what pulls this whole track together, obviously everythig else is important too
Fit For An Autopsy - Black Mammoth
Deathcore done right! Incredible song with a big message! Highly recommend checking it out just because of the message!
Animals As Leaders - The Brain Dance
It’s a 3 man instrumental band, they’re all absolute fantastic musicians! The song is beautiful, would recommend the 7 min version.
Was amazing watching this channel grow in the past 3 months glad I subbed after the first slipknot reaction.
Muhannad Burwais same
I used to listen to this on (gulp) 8-track in my 67 Mustang GT fastback circa 1971-72
Was 8 yrs old when this album came out and heard it from one of my friend's brother. Saved my chore money for months to make it the first record I bought (lotta saving since ten cents a week wasn't a lot, even then!). Remains one of the most cherished records I own and am so happy to see that it still resonates strongly with "the new generations." A masterpiece.
Never have seen a reaction video before. But for 3 weeks now I look everyday to see what you are doing that day. You make it fun, never stop and have a dope ass day!!
Erin Quillen thank you! :)
Alex Hefner no problem anytime..

Thank you for the awesome videos! I’ve listened to metal for a few years now and watching your videos has helped broaden my spectrum of metal genres! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
I don't even know how i stumbled upon this channel but it's one of my favorites haha
React to black sabbath- NIB
i was 11 years old when i was introduced to sabbath, never looked back , Toni actually cut his speaker in his amp to get that grunge distortion that wasnt around yet. this band for sure paved the way to the heavy metal we hear today,
btw: this is only a 3 piece band, so yeah, their music jsut made sense.
Thank you for another excellent reaction video!
One of my favorite Black Sabbath songs! I'm ecstatic that you chose this song to react to! I love the dope ass riffs they have in this song!
The Four Horsemen - Metallica
This!!!
Love watching your reactions...always puts a smile on my face! Classic Sabbath at it's best! The entire Paranoid album rocks; Fairies Wear Boots... Nice Job; Cheers
When I saw this I was like YAAAASSSS. I grew up with this band and this song. Dude I'm a second generation metal head.
hes reacting to this like i did when i was 12 years old im 60 this year and still react the same
love The Sabb 4
Blind guardian! Mirror mirror, bard's song, all the middle earth album tbh
the bards song live!
Seconded!
Valhalla deliverance why you ever forgotten me ....
Weedy-san yeah... Blind guardian would be the second (?) german band, alex react to
Yeah do the Bards song
One of the Greatest Sabbath songs ever, you always have to listen when it comes on great long jam tune
Bro Alex you literally had me in tears w your reaction...this albus is unreal
Lol song starts going, the eyes go up! And then the smile! That was my same reaction when i first heard this. Keep up the dope assedness brah!
I love the fact that you appreciate a classic like this. They really were the front men to heavy metal. Not a lot of younger people can appreciate a classic like this song.
Keep doing you. By far one of my favorite reaction guys I'm subscribed to.
DUDE YOU'RE ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST TUBER ON THIS CHANNEL ALSO THE VIDEO TELLS MORE OF A STORY THAN JUST THE AUDIO. JT FROM MEX
I get to relive a sing for the first time through you now. Great edits and your doing a dope ass job!
Seen them perform this at their last ever concert, the whole venue was screaming along to that riff at 10:14, never had so many goosebumps in my life
Hell yeah
lolyeah One of the greatest guitar riffs in the history of music.
Robert D'Amico definitely!
This is a great one!! Next do Angel of Death by Slayer!!
A masterpiece. Iommi made something so heavy it influenced a generation.
You now have been baptised my friend! welcome to you!! glad to have you and now you must continue what you do and spread the word to other lost souls...build it and they will come!
omg you totally made my weekend with this! Kicking it old school!! I can't even properly express how amazing it has been to take this Metal Journey with you. I will never again experience my first time hearing these old school metal songs, but watching you react gets pretty damn close. Hits me right in the feels! And I've also discovered some amazing new bands right along with you. You're like the really cool cousin who always comes to the birthday party and makes everyone laugh and feel so good. Thank you for that!! You keep on rocking, I'll keep on watching. xo
It's a walk down the memory lane. Bringsback so many memories :-)
Boy this song brings back memories. This is one of the songs that really got me into metal along with fear of the dark by iron maiden. The instrumental in this song is so unique and random, it's what I really love about the song. Also the lyrics are very powerful. Great song.
I saw Black Sabbath in Calgary for The End tour. When they played this song Ozzy sang a line then pointed the mic at the crowd and i swear everyone in the Saddledome sang the next line almost perfectly. It gives me goosebumps every time i think about it.
The whole Paranoid Album is all the phases of a Vietnam soldier returning to unthankfull usa suffering PTSD. Black Sabbath wanted it ( the Album ) to be named Warpigs, but The Record Compny deceided to name it Paranoid, because usa was still heavily involved in the Vietnam war, which Black Sabbath was against.
Of course they were against the war, americans started it and at that time it was the best thing to critisize
As well, the record company changed the name while leaving the war pigs artwork as the cover.
@@slycordinator Paranoid was only written to fill the album. It was written in almost under 20 minutes.
Blode Kont uh no, Fairies Wear Boots is about some people messing with Sabbath and those people wore boots so it was just a way to mess with them, Paranoid was made in less than a half hour, and Planet Caravan is about a spaceship travelling through the universe, thats just off the top of my head
But paranoid was originally a love song, well Ozzy talking about a girl he loved and wanted to be with. War Pigs was originally about witches and black magic. Planet Caravan was originally about an evening with a girl in an open field looking up at the stars.
Probably my favorite Sabbath song. The message/lyrics & musical composition together are absolutely phenomenal. Pretty damn great live too, I might add. ;) ;)
Keep rocking & have a dope ass day good sir.
Rooster by Alice In Chains
Woah I just found your channel and growing up on all this music it's really cool to see someone appreciating it for the first time plus getting to go back to some of my favorites I've forgotten about 😭😭💕
Alex, i dare you in your own time to just sit n listen to the composition of this song, every element gets it own unique time in the song and you can hear the song switch to vocals forefront then guitar and drums but the bass is like the flow blending each instrument to the next with super intricate riffs but super smooth and super funky. This song is a masterpiece on so many levels it's unreal and I will die a happy man knowing I've heard this song at least once.
Yup this is one of my favorite songs from them. Ozzys voice is so good
May Rose u should check out Sahg, freekishly similar voice
I thought id never like reaction video until I stulmbed across your page some how. Now im hooled i love your opions about the music your discovering and being so opend minded for it and showing positive light to rock abf metal ga era of music. when most people sneer at it unless your a fan yourself. props for you to spreading the positive to different types of music diversaity.
Best reaction and understanding ever!
Uff... i heard that Song so often ... and i got tears in my eyes this time. Im not so good with showing feelings but that was magic.
Btw, this is my favorite Black Sabbath song, however I have not heard their entire discography, which is a shame... thanks for the video. So happy to see how much u enjoyed it.
Mitchell Cambron In my opinion, even though I love the Ozzy and Dio era albums of Black Sabbath, the others are pretty underrated.
i have some suggestions:
Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover (live version)
Led Zeppelin - Achilles Last Stand
Iron Maiden - Afraid to shoot strangers
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb, Echoes...
Lazar Ristic Nice taste.
Jorge Pereyra thanks bro
dont want to open a can o worms with the Ozzy vs Dio thing...but "The Mob Rules" is crazy...one of my fav "Dio" sabbath tracks ...peace
I, like Mr. Iommi the guitarist you're hearing in this song, am also a left-handed guitarist. I learned how to play this song as a transition from blues. It is one of my absolute favorite songs of all time. I'm really glad you seem to love this song as well.
