Bill Ward on Drums, one of the best, Tony Iommi on Guitar, one of the best, Geezer Butler on Bass, one of the best and Ozzy Osborne on Vocals, one of the best. Black Sabbath. One of THE BEST.
I respectfully disagree. Bill is the very best, Tony is the greatest Riff maker ever. Geezer is the greatest bass player ever, one of the best lyricists as well. Ozzy is the 2nd greatest front man ever. Freddy Mercury existed after all. Black Sabbath is the perfect band.
And yet i just read a few days ago they didnt get inducted into the RARHOF till freaking 2005! Which of course says nothing about the epic band and everything about the lame RARHOF, lol!
Hi Ola, this is an anti-war song expressing that the rich and powerful start wars, and poor people fight them. The war machine has been called the military-industrial complex.
Black Sabbath is the British band that almost single-handedly created the heavy metal genre in the 1970's w/ their heavy, dark & uncompromising sound... Led Zeppelin defined 'heavy rock' in 1969 and changed the game drastically... Deep Purple followed their example and played heavier and unpredictably as a result... and Black Sabbath, the 3rd band of the British 'Unholy Trinity' took heavy rock music to a level that had never been heard before... Black Sabbath were a huge influence on everyone from Judas Priest to Van Halen to Metallica to Nirvana to KoRn... and beyond. Formed in Birmingham, England by Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass) and Bill Ward (drums)... they started out in 1968 playing blues and rock n' roll covers in bars... After hearing Led Zeppelin's music in 1969, they were inspired to write their own heavy rock songs and had the idea to make 'scary music' after noticing a movie theater across their rehearsal space playing a 1940's horror film 'Black Sabbath'... They wrote the song 'Black Sabbath' which was ominous and dark, inspired by a nightmare experienced by bassist Geezer Butler... When they played 'Black Sabbath' live, the band got a huge response and knew they had something special. In late 1969, the band had written more original songs and were signed to UK label Vertigo Records after changing their name from Earth to Black Sabbath... Their first self-titled album was released in early 1970 and it was an immediate hit in the UK. Black Sabbath toured N. America as well that year and were a sensation there as well. They had a second album recorded in 1970 originally called 'War pigs'... but their record label felt it was inappropriate in the Vietnam war era. The label liked a short, catchy song called 'Paranoid' that Black Sabbath had written in about 1 hour and the album was titled 'Paranoid'... It went to #1 on the UK charts and was a huge hit in the US as well. Black Sabbath early albums would become the template of the heavy metal genre for decades to come... They released the albums 'Master of Reality' in 1971 and 'Volume 4' in 1972 ('Volume 4' was originally titled 'Snowblind'... but the record label did not like the drug reference) After their 5th album 'Sabbath bloody Sabbath' in 1973, Black Sabbath discovered that the band members were broke... their managers had made off w/ all their earnings which had been signed w/ bad contracts. The band took a year off in 1974 to sort through their legal troubles... In 1975, Black Sabbath returned w/ their heaviest and angriest album 'Sabotage'... but things started going downhill in 1976 when Ozzy Osbourne objected to the musical direction on the next album 'Technical ecstasy' ... The drugs, alcohol and money problems took a toll on the band and when they tried again w/ their 8th album 'Never say die!' in 1978, Black Sabbath was burned out and upstaged on tour by a young Van Halen every night. In 1979, guitarist Tony Iommi made the decision to fire Ozzy Osbourne from Black Sabbath... Ozzy spiraled into depression but was soon given an opportunity to start a solo career in 1980 which made him a superstar in his own right. Black Sabbath did have a post-Ozzy career in the 80's w/ Ronnie James Dio (vocals) joining in 1980 for the albums 'Heaven and Hell' and 'Mob rules' (1981)... but drummer Bill Ward left Sabbath in 1980 and Ronnie James Dio left in 1982 to form his own band Dio. Tony Iommi (guitar) kept Black Sabbath going w/ various musicians and singers, but could not match the success of the original Black Sabbath... Thankfully, the original members were able to reunite by 1997 to tour and secured their legacy as a legendary force in music... Iommi, Ozzy and Geezer were recorded 1 more Black Sabbath album '13' in 2013 (drummer Bill Ward declined to play on that record) More Black Sabbath classics - 'Paranoid' ... 'N.I.B.' ... 'Snowblind' ... 'Children of the grave' ... 'Iron Man' ... 'Sabbath bloody sabbath'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
ALways good to see Ozzy rocking out. Very distinctive voice.....as soon as you hear the first lyric of any song you instantly know its Ozzy Iron Man and Paranoid next
Great to see you have found Black Sabbath brilliant band from my neck of the woods in Birmingham...theirguitarist Tony Iommi is quite an humble yet inspirational person before joining the band he was a sheet metal worker in Birmingham and lost some of his finger tips in an accident and wear prosthetic finger tips to help him play the guitar....their most iconic song is called Paranoid...another one to put on your list 😀
I'm sorry if you've been going thru a lot lately. Hope you feel better! You have many good friends on your channel for comfort and support. ❤ Ola friend ❤
I keep asking this, and so far nobody has answered. Does anyone know where this reactor is from? She has the cutest accent and I'm curious where she's from. Thank you to anyone who can answer.
Thanks for rewinding after the interruption. No, seriously, it means something, lol! Lotta reactors don't bother to go back a few seconds after pausing and often miss cool stuff that happened right about when they paused it because of it.
ok, so much songs to react by this band. ozzy's era (paranoid,iron man ,a acrobatic,etc..) Dio's era (over and over, sign of southern, heaven and hell, etc...)
When I first learned to play this song on guitar, that was so cool. I remember playing it quite a few times when I first learned how to play it. I already knew how to play it on drums, but being able to play it on guitar was way different. You can't really hear Geezer Butlers bass playing in this live recording, but he's killing it. You can hear his bass better on the album version. You always have a great reaction to songs. ❤❤😊
Birmingham, England's Black Sabbath are considered one of the pioneers of heavy metal and the earliest band most identified with that genre. The dark and heavy riffs, ominous lyrics, and powerful performances on their self-titled debut album set them apart from other rock bands of their time. "Paranoid" (1970), their second album, is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential heavy metal albums of all time, featuring classics like "War Pigs," "Iron Man," and the title track. In 1973 came "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath," widely regarded as one of their most experimental and diverse works, featuring a fusion of melodic metal, progressive rock, and intricate arrangements. Standouts include the classic title track, "Killing Yourself to Live," and "A National Acrobat." Made while the band was in litigation with their ex-manager, 1975's "Sabotage" is considered to be the last of the great albums from the golden age with Ozzy. After having been replaced by former Rainbow vocalist Ronnie James Dio in 1979, Ozzy went on to a spectacular solo career characterized by his distinctive vocals and larger-than-life persona.
Saw them live in 1971 and thirty years later in 2001. The 2001 concert was much better. They had not lost a thing, but had thirty years to work on their performances!! AMAZING!!
I suggest you go to the beginning. Their first song was "Black Sabbath" on the album Black Sabbath. There was nothing like this on the radio at that time.
Did anyone play as hard as Bill Ward? I don't think so. I would love to transport myself and be him just to hear what it was like with those amplifiers literally inches away. Wow!
Tony iomi took the tip of his finger off in an accident at work. He took the top of a washing up liquid bottle and melted it onto his finger so he could keep playing guitar
Olavity. Read up about Ozzie Osbourne. The wildest character ever. Married to Sharon Osborn. That had a reality show that was brilliant - look it up. Unfortunately Ozzy took a a lot of drugs and drink which has affected him badly but still going.
Was finishing High School Military Draft was still active so figured I was on my way to Vietnam and the jungle but the music was the best in those times started by the Beatles and Rolling Stones Balck Sabbath Wood Stock performers
Great tune, best anti war song ever, check out the Studio original sometime, great mix and final lyrics. You should try their very first song, the self titled Black Sabbath, from their debut album, Black Sabbath. Do the studio for the pristine mix and immediate affect it has in anyone who listens to it. Then go through the rest of that ground breaking album. It will freak you out! It sure did all of us. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Another powerhouse group with so many great songs,Check out Snowblind.Paranoid,and Killing Yourself To Live is an absolute masterpiece,Its great you like the heavy bands and I hpoe your feeling better♥
I know u mostly or maybe only do vids, but "Fairies Wear Boots" has the same kind of supercool riffs you enjoyed here, but I'm not sure if there's a film of it being performed by them. "War Pigs" was written mostly because of the Vietnam War, I think. Around 1970, many young people, hippies, college students, etc protested against being drafted into the Army and U.S. waging war against North Vietnam and killing so many innocent people. President Johnson decided not to run for re-election bc of the protests and the divided nation. Now we have Gaza, and Biden is suffering politically for fully supporting Israel, in what many see as war crimes being committed in our name with our money. I know this is "political," but it goes to how timeless this song is, and how eternal war seems to be.
You should always watch the official video or the album version...live is good but the sound quality is never able to do the song justice plus sometimes the band play it differently because they get sick of playing the song over and over, so to hear it as it was recorded is always better as a 1st time listener.
I like, that you listen to the requestes of the world, and that's fantastic. I know like any music, i like the 70's. I think you know that i've born 1. 8.1961, babyboomers time. The 1970' were my musictime. I think you can trust us, and in a few months you know everything about deep purple, joe satriani, ufo, metallica, iron maiden, judas priest and tool from los Angeles. I love your nice not correctial english. Next tool, the pot please. Bye.
He beat those drum like they talked bad about his mother!!!
💥💥💥👍🤪🤘🤘🤘
Good one! Pls look out for Paulina Villareal Verez. She beats the drums like they own her money.
I can never get over how hard Bill Ward beats those drums! He's a beast.
Bill Ward on Drums, one of the best, Tony Iommi on Guitar, one of the best, Geezer Butler on Bass, one of the best and Ozzy Osborne on Vocals, one of the best. Black Sabbath. One of THE BEST.
I agree 100%. Saw them back in '75.
I respectfully disagree. Bill is the very best, Tony is the greatest Riff maker ever. Geezer is the greatest bass player ever, one of the best lyricists as well. Ozzy is the 2nd greatest front man ever. Freddy Mercury existed after all. Black Sabbath is the perfect band.
Black Sabbath is one of the Mt Rushmore of rock bands. It wouldn't be the same without their contributions! LEGENDS
And yet i just read a few days ago they didnt get inducted into the RARHOF till freaking 2005! Which of course says nothing about the epic band and everything about the lame RARHOF, lol!
This video shows you why Bill Ward was one of my favorite drummers that inspired me to learn how to play drums.
Same.
The original heavy metal bands - and best !!
Hi Ola, this is an anti-war song expressing that the rich and powerful start wars, and poor people fight them.
The war machine has been called the military-industrial complex.
Dwight Eisenhower warned us about the military-industrial complex. Who would have understood better?
This is by far my favorite Black Sabbath song,
Love it when it came out and still love it to this day.
Timeless CLASSIC. The Grandfathers of Heavy Metal !!!!! So glad you like them,,guitar, drums, bass,,,,,all fantastic. 💥💥💥👍😎
Bill Ward hits those drums like they owe him money
This is the first concert I ever went to.. mind blown...
Realize that the guitarist has no fingertips... Wow

It's crazy to see how much energy ozzy had when he was young.
It's a visceral performance of all Black Sabbath guys. Thanks for reacting to 👏👏👏
Try Black Sabbath Paranoid next!!
I'm sorry if you've been going thru a lot lately. Hope you feel better! You have many good friends on your channel for comfort and support. ❤ Ola friend ❤
I saw Black Sabbath live right around that time . . . they were so loud that my ears were ringing for days afterwards.
The grandparents of metal. OZZY FOR PRESIDENT. Great video. 💯💥🤘❤️🇮🇹
First time hearing this in the basement of a friends house, black lights, joints etc was damn near a religious experience.
Bill Ward was a fucking beast. There are plenty of other ways to describe him, but what the hell, it's the most fitting I've ever heard.
I keep asking this, and so far nobody has answered. Does anyone know where this reactor is from?
She has the cutest accent and I'm curious where she's from.
Thank you to anyone who can answer.
black sabbath invented metal i would say : )
All the best Olavity - things always get better. Big breaths!!!
From 1968 to 1978 Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath, there are so many Heavy Metal classics
In 1980 he began a solo career and is still active today.
BLACK SABBATH - "Paranoid" (Official Video)
I love the vol 4 album from sabbath try “ snow blind “ 👍👍
Black Sabbath-“Fairies wear Boots”🤘
Thanks for rewinding after the interruption. No, seriously, it means something, lol! Lotta reactors don't bother to go back a few seconds after pausing and often miss cool stuff that happened right about when they paused it because of it.
Excellent reaction this is the original heavy metal band later beautiful.❤️😎🇺🇸
Into the void has to be next by them (studio version tho pls)
Thumbs up for your reactions dear Olavity and thumbs up for the forefathers of doom metal, Black Sabbath. Keep it up. Your channel is unreachable😊👍✌🤘
So this is the alternate lyric version of this song. The who second half of the song lyrics was changed and recorded for the album
ok, so much songs to react by this band.
ozzy's era (paranoid,iron man ,a acrobatic,etc..)
Dio's era (over and over, sign of southern, heaven and hell, etc...)
The fathers of Metal.
A performance that was nothing less than crushing. Wish I had seen them back then
Bill Word - drums
Geezer Butlon - Bass
Tony Iôni - Guitar
Ozzy Osbourne - Vocals
The Great Black Sabbath.
more sabbath!
Definitely a banger 🤘
When I first learned to play this song on guitar, that was so cool. I remember playing it quite a few times when I first learned how to play it. I already knew how to play it on drums, but being able to play it on guitar was way different. You can't really hear Geezer Butlers bass playing in this live recording, but he's killing it. You can hear his bass better on the album version. You always have a great reaction to songs. ❤❤😊
Uncle Bill on drums ;-)
pure hard rock
Hi Ola great song but could it very well done and scary I know you would like it.
Hop you are having a great day .❤😊
I meant video I sed very
The music video for this song is pretty telling.
One of the greatest and most epic songs ever made - sadly still relevant ( Kind of a hymn for Ukraine and humanity )
The birth of heavy metal
Check Out Bark At The Moon & Miracle Man
💖💖👋👋🤗🤗
This is an early version of this song with many different lyrics before the final version that appeared on the paranoid album.
Love you. Love your reactions.. Sending you warm thoughts of light and love
Great Reaction to a great song by one of the best rock bands

My wife's favorite is Fairies Wear Boots, You might want to try that one. Everything Black Sabbath did was good just to let you know, lol
the music video is a must see it puts all the music into perspective .. great reaction
Saw them live in 1971 and thirty years later in 2001. The 2001 concert was much better. They had not lost a thing, but had thirty years to work on their performances!! AMAZING!!
The Prince Of Darkness
I remember I couldn't play this around my parents.
I suggest you go to the beginning. Their first song was "Black Sabbath" on the album Black Sabbath. There was nothing like this on the radio at that time.
It's a great live video but the cameraman was criminally ignoring Legendary Bassist Geezer Butler.
Check Black Sabbath - «Black Sabbath», «Snowblind», «Iron Man», «N.I.B»
Think about this recording was 54 years ago. Music would not be the same without them.
Did anyone play as hard as Bill Ward? I don't think so. I would love to transport myself and be him just to hear what it was like with those amplifiers literally inches away. Wow!
Tony iomi took the tip of his finger off in an accident at work. He took the top of a washing up liquid bottle and melted it onto his finger so he could keep playing guitar
welcome to the originators of metal
Bill hated these drums so much that he flipped the drumsticks!
That possessed drummer was in absolute beast mode. Most impressive drumming I've ever heard in a live performance. Sorry Bonham.
This entire album, PARANOID (1969) is metal classic. Beautiful reaction. I humbly suggest IRON MAN or PARANOID next!
One of the greatest anti war songs ever
This is the best version of this alive version.Check out bill war.The drummer goes nuts
The words evolved from this version
IRON MAN
❤
For the second gen of great music, also check out Barracuda by Heart!
Hi Ola I misspelled some thing I ment to say check out the music video.
It's mind blowing good.
Olavity. Read up about Ozzie Osbourne. The wildest character ever. Married to Sharon Osborn. That had a reality show that was brilliant - look it up. Unfortunately Ozzy took a a lot of drugs and drink which has affected him badly but still going.
Hi Olavity. Check out George Thorogood and the Destroyers song title ' Bad To The Bone'I think you'll enjoy it could be wrong ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💙💙💋💋💋💋💋🥰🥰🥰🥰
War Pigs has such insightful lyrics, it’s an anti-war song.
tomy with his plastic finger tips .. amazing
Was finishing High School Military Draft was still active so figured I was on my way to Vietnam and the jungle but the music was the best in those times started by the Beatles and Rolling Stones Balck Sabbath Wood Stock performers
Another song you should’ve listened to the studio version for your first time.
That and all the Black Sabbath songs.
I have a song the name of it is changes Ozzy Osbourne wrote it it's about him and his wife.
Next= the song" Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath from their first album "Black Sabbath.
Check out Faith No More’s cover of this! Live in Brixton it’s 🔥
Nice pendant
Great tune, best anti war song ever, check out the Studio original sometime, great mix and final lyrics.

Lucky you. This is an uncut version,Rat salad edition,.check out studio
Version with lyrics.
Ozzy Ozbourne is so awesome in this footage
This is actually a very strong anti-war anthem........
Tony Iommi played with a missing fingertip. He created some fake tips that he made work successfully.
Another powerhouse group with so many great songs,Check out Snowblind.Paranoid,and Killing Yourself To Live is an absolute masterpiece,Its great you like the heavy bands and I hpoe your feeling better♥
Olavity, play Red Red Wine by UB40. You will like it. Promise.
