I've always said that Black Sabbath were like Old Testament prophets screaming about the end of the world. The thing is, they were a band for the people, and a lot of their music has something for everyone. If you don't like the message in After Forever? Check out God is Dead. If you're not a fan of drugs, like in Sweet Leaf, check out Hand of Doom which speaks about the dangers of drugs. You don't like the occult bent of songs like Black Sabbath? Maybe you'd dig the Sci-fi elements of Into the Void or Iron Man. You don't like little relatively filler songs like Tomorrow's Dream or Am I Going Insane? Dig on War Pigs, or Spiral Architect. You like fast, check out Symptom of the Universe. You like slow, check out the same song and wait about four minutes! You don't like Ozzy? Check out Dio. You don't like Dio, check out Tony Martin. You don't like Sabbath? You just haven't listened to enough.
You guys should just just react to the whole master of reality album. It is a monster of an album and not to mention it came out in 1971 it must have been the heaviest thing in existence back then.
I can't imagine popping this album on the turntable in 1971. I honestly don't think I could have handled it. lol. I didn't listen to this until probably 1986 when I was still in school, and I was still blown away.
Geezer Butler has said about the lyrics: ”A lot of it was because of the situation in Northern Ireland at the time. There were a lot of religious troubles between the Protestants against the Catholics. I was brought up strictly Catholic and I guess I was naive in thinking that religion shouldn’t be fought over. I always felt that God and Jesus wanted us to love each other. It was just a bad time in Northern Ireland, setting bombs off in England and such. We all believed in Jesus - and yet people were killing each other over it. To me it was just ridiculous. I thought that if God could see us killing each other in his name, he’d be disgusted.”
The first metal band was christian and spread the word in their music, yet all the bands who were inspired by them later wrote about satanic crap. Ironic and quite disappointing.
Ovid Orion ”Butler also talked about his thought process behind writing the lyrics to the SABBATH song "After Forever", which some historians have called the first real Christian rock song.” www.blabbermouth.net/news/black-sabbaths-geezer-butler-i-always-felt-that-god-and-jesus-wanted-us-to-love-each-other/ ”The original album jacket credited Iommi as the composer for the song (including the lyrics), but this was later changed in the "Black Sabbath Black Box Set" where it changed all crediblity (including "Embryo" and "Orchid") to all band members.” blacksabbath.wikia.com/wiki/After_Forever
@Robert Vaughn NIB does not stand for Nativity in black. Bill Ward's beard reminded the rest of a pen NIB. The song is about the Devil falling in love with a mortal woman and changing back to good.
@Robert Vaughn this song, Satan falls in love with a human woman and tries to seduce her. He turns out to be very charming and the early lyrics are quite poetic. >> The title refers to drummer Bill Ward's beard. The band called him "Nibby" because they thought it looked like the nib on the end of a pen (Ozzy came up with the nickname when he on acid and thought Geezer Butler was turning into a fountain pen). Says Butler: Originally it was Nib, which was Bill's beard. When I wrote N.I.B., I couldn't think of a title for the song, so I just called it Nib, after Bill's beard. To make it more intriguing I put punctuation marks in there to make it N.I.B. By the time it got to America, they translated it to Nativity In Black.>>
@Robert Vaughn How exactly is a song about the devil falling in love, glorifying satan ? They meant that the devil seduced her, aka under his power, aka under his spell, you're just desperately fishing for something wich is not there.
Bill Ward the drummer who's life ended up all screwed up stated " This is the outcome of writing songs about devils and demons for 20 years " In the beginning they were promoting Satanism even as they all have said.
Growing up, I had listened to this song probably thousands of times. Loved it. Then, that one time... that line "Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say if they knew you believed in God above"..... it hit me between the eyes like a ton of bricks... I cared more about what my friends thought of me than I did what God thought of me. One of the key moments of the journey God lead me through to salvation.
Black Sabbath has a special place in my heart, it was my dads favorite band, he passed a few years ago due to a unbeknownst cancer, but every time i hear sabbath it brings me back to my childhood of him blaring it in the living room on the weekends, in turn it led me onto metal and my love for it
Geezer Butler may be the most underrated lyricists of all time. It still blows my mind that four people can come together from such a small place and create such great music, led Zeppelin and the Beatles included.
Anybody that calls Black Sabbath satanic just hasn't listened to the songs. Even the songs from the point of view of Satan are about love and deceit. Humans being weak and susceptible to evil trickery. Ozzy routinely sounds terrified of the Devil when he sings about it. Which is a very Christian perspective.
As a Christian and lover of Sabbath and all things heavy and rockin', this song attests to the fact that the band wasn't afraid to touch any subject. Gezzer, who writes most of the lyrics, is the bass player and a professed Catholic and lyricist of this song.
@Sebastian wasn't a buzzsaw. I was basically a guillotine. Tony was on the machine press, wasn't very familiar with it. Brought the blade down to cut the sheet metal. Not paying attention brought it down on his fingers and instinctively pulled back. Pulling the tips of his middle and ring fingers off!
Black Sabbath had a lot of critics saying that hey were into the occult and devil worship. One of the reasons they wrote this song was to put their critics to bed. They were much misunderstood in their time.
Happy New Year! Love you guys. Sometimes you keep me up too late, though. You're the last thing I check when I lay down, and sure enough, there's a new one that I wind up watching right then.Lol.Iommi is amazing as are Butler's lyrics. Ozzy's vocal range improves when you get to some of the later stuff. I don't believe you have reacted to anything later than this, the 3rd album. Something off "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" like, "A Spiral Architect" or the incredible lyrics on "A National Acrobat." Happy New Year, guys!
Happy New Year! All the best to you and the family for 2019. This one was written by Geezer Butler the bass player, a Catholic. I loved your reactions to the lyrics during the song.
What takes Tony Iommi to the next level is the fact that on his last day at his factory job he sliced the tips of 2 or 3 of his fingers off. Instead of quitting he made plastic tips to go over the ends of his fingers. He plays like that to this day.
@Great White So you hate Sabbath then? Metallica? Megadeath? Iron Maiden? At least one member of each of these bands believes in God so.... that's sad buddy you must not know what real music is if you don't like any of these bands. You can't say you like metal but not sabbath cause without them, you wouldn't have metal and their sub-genres in the first place you ignorant moron
@Great White You said catholics.. implying people who follow the religion not the religion itself.. you obviously don't even know what you wrote as your original comment cause thats what I'm going off of
@Great White If u said fuck religion in general than that would have made more sense than the Catholics part... y'know basic English don't you? Obviously not
when you say "raised Catholic" you mean "nominally Catholic, at best," right? Bill was the most superstitious and Geezer probably the most religious but even he had quit going to mass in his teens. Regardless, being raised in the western world it's pretty much a given that you'll have been associated with a christian religion as a child being "raised in a religion" means nothing unless you choose to continue letting religious beliefs continue to influence your decisions later in life.
I had a great time in High School (class of 83') wearing my Black Sabbath tee shirt to school and getting harassed by the born again kids in my Republican Orange County home town. I would tell them Black Sabbath was a Christian band and play them "After Forever" and "War Pigs". I also had an art book of Gothic christian paintings to show them. That reminded me of the video you reacted to that scared Sori, but you explained that the imagery was Orthodox Christian. Anyway, play more Sabbath and have a great New Year. ED
I love Sabbath and this song. For another mind-blowingly good song related to the Lord, you should check out Steve Vai - For the Love of God (which is an instrumental, FYI). Thanks and happy new year!
Gizz Buttler is really amazing...the bass is fucking awesome...he never tried to stick to the root notes and strayed way beyond and never really missed a single thing...Toni is amazing ..but without Buttler...this song is nothing
Have you ever seen the film "Ghost"? The white angels and the black angels are on the same side. At your time if death, you will know if you have led a good or bad life, because of the colour of the angels. The white angels will look after you, whilst the black angels will drag you off and treat you accordingly. When it's your time to go, what colour angels would you want to greet you?
I love this song, the entire record is good. Tony Iommi lost the tips of two fingers in an accident at the factory where he worked as a teenager, obviously, it had a major effect on his playing.
I remember blasting this while I was pulling into Heavenly Doughnuts and some old dude was like "you need to save your soul" the Irony still makes me laugh to this day. So I saw he was in his car (he parked next to me) and broke out Slayer's South of Heaven and kind of did a devil horns on the side of my head in a mocking way. The look on his face was priceless. lol.
i love watching you guys react all the time i know you dont like to do request in your comment section but and its a big but you havent heard nothing in metal until you hear the blusy insane song off there first album black sabbath the song is warning it will leave you speechless it was a warning to every band out there this is special i swear i hope you listen, marty s
This is probably my favorite Sabbath song to watch reactions of... the utterly genius lyrics always catch people by surprise. What a fucking band mate.👏🏽💪🏽❤️✌🏽
Speaking as a US Citizen and an atheist theology has a place in public education as a study on how all religions effect human society. The problem has always been with certain Christian sects thinking the Bible should be the basis for not just education but for all aspects of living in the U.S. Your personal mythology or thoughts on supernatural belief should be just that. Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Great reaction. Would love to see you react to Black Sabbath - Spiral Architect. A very underrated Sabbath song, but lyrically, one of their most diverse.
Finally!!! Love you guys. I actually used the lyrics during a bible study with our youth group. Matched up with biblical texts then played the song. We had 20 very sheltered church kids banging heads and educated at the same time.
THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! For reacting to this song. You guys are so awesome! Your channel always delivers such great songs and commentary. Loved your reations. Keep it coming and God Bless
In 1971 there was still prayer in public schools. I was in 3rd grade then. If you listen to and read the lyrics, You will see there is a underlying meaning to most of Black Sabbath's music. they were not the quote un quote "Devil Worshippers"
First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR guys, I hope you have a killer 2019 with your kids and family. Second, congratulations for 88 k subscribers. Man this guys are unbelievable, there's probably no other band in history more influential than Black Sabbath, where would we be without them... God bless them. Please react to "Nothing Is Not" by Morbid Angel and "In Their Darkened Shrines" by Nile.
First heard this song when I was 16,,smokin pot with my buddy's,,,I'm 65 now,and still am a Black Sabbath fan,, the line ... Are you afraid of what your friends might say, If you believe in God above... Hit home with me back then,,,this song has been my anthem to my life to always believe.
Too right ,a lot of people laugh at you when you say you believe in god , the problem is man thinks there’s nothing bigger than himself . God is love You should watch some videos of Anthony DeMello on UA-cam Hope you have a good life
No VIN, he was of our time(us old rockers).You just turned up late at the station and missed the train.Your on the same track just a later service.Peace and a Happy new year to you both.
1989.. Cozy Powell went to become drummer and producer for Black Sabbath.. again.. he went to Toni's house and just said: "I have some ideas..".. Toni went to a cupboard, took out like 5 big shoppingbags full of cassesstes.. all having like 30 riffs onthem..unused.. Cozy said: "Well Toon..you should open a shop: : Toni Riffs"
Sabbath wrote songs about the things they saw and felt most of the lyrics were written by Terry geezer butler and the topics were what they saw and dealt with growing up during that time period coming from a factory town and most of them poor they created the sound of sabbath themselves and you would be surprised to find Tony iommi cites his influences as the shadows and jango Reinhardt . They were a blues and jazz based band who discovered their sound by creating it using pioneering techniques and a diy attitude . Especially after Tony’s accident he had to completely change the way he played guitar and that helped shaped the sabbath sound .
This is the second time I’ve watched this video. It shocks me that Vin would say the lyrics were to simplistic for him. As a Christian he should know that salvation thru Jesus Christ was designed to be simple so that everyone could be saved.
Toni Iommi is the foundation upon which heavy metal was built. A lot of great music was released in 71' including the Iconic Led Zeppelin IV-but nothing comes close to matching the heaviness of Iommi's tone, Children Of The Grave is a testament to this, not to mention that this album begat Sludge, Stoner and Doom genre's all in one album.
Vin & Sori, I just checked info on this song. Lyrics or words is written by Geezer Butler while Tony Iommi written the music. Butler, raised an Catholic; he write lyrics focused on Christian Themes.
HAPPY NEW YEAR FELLAS, KEEP DOING YOUR JOB, VERY WE'LL COUSE THERE'S NO BODY LIKE YOU ANY WAY. JUST THAT , MAYBE I'M SO CRAZY RIGHT NOW , I DON'T KNOW, PURA VIDA. we
This album.....Master of Reality.....in my opinion (barely over a yr after the 1st album) is the very FIRST full Metal album. And you are very correct.....Iommi taught us ALL to play HEAVY. Geezer is one of the most underrated lyricist ever.....in ANY genre.
That's exactly true. When you spawn a genre you can't help but be a genius. Tony Iommi is a force of nature with the power of his SG and Geezer Butler was the perfect foundation for Tony to stand on. I believe it took the two oif them to creat that power that changed music. The planets were in alignment, God was looking at the earth for a group of men to show his power to the Earth's youth and he found them.
Nice to see you guys doing some back catalogue Sabbath, pretty good song. Also Ozzy has been attributed by Geezer that he gives input into the lyrics Geezer writes for him so he’s more secondary to the lyrical process. Would LOVE to see your guys’ reactions to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath which is arguably one of Ozzy’s best vocal performances.
I am seeing that the more you guys review metal on your channel, the more you are realizing that it's a very diverse genre of music. You have started a very long journey down the metal road....good luck!
You have 143K subscribers...You 2 are great and yes I have criticized your opinions. Yet they are "Your Opinions" and though I may criticize them I respect then b/c they are honest and how you believe, so you aren't lying to anyone or yourselves. I promise you by the end of this year your subscribers will go from this 134K to a million. The both of you do great things to open people up to music and ideas. Yet I may not always agree with them you still get people to think. To be a catalyst to helping people think for themselves is, well what do you 2 think that is. I will leave that answer up to the both of you. Vin and Sori always praying and wishing the best for you unconditionally. Peace and Love to you and your family and friends.
Happy New year y'all! Another great song/vid. I would like to get your take on the Black Sabbath song A National Acrobat if you decide to do another Black Sabbath reaction. I have my thoughts but would love to hear what you think. 😊
Riffs and Hooks made the music for most of the day. Riffs were concoctions mostly born from classical music blues and Cajun soul music. Main suspects were Tony Iommi Jimmy Page Jimi Hendrix Pete Townsend

@@robaquarian yes it was
@Mr.Dirty Budgie yes, still nowhere close to the heaviness of Sabbath
Geezer Butler has said about the lyrics: ”A lot of it was because of the situation in Northern Ireland at the time.

And then 23 years later, Tony Martin would write about this theme again with "Cross of Thorns".
Geezer Butler wrote music with his thoughts on religion on his sleeve. He had the balls to speak with his true thoughts
This song, including lyrics, was written by Tony Iommi, though Geezer did most of lyrics in the early years.
@@pravolub8 nope, the lyrics were written by Butler

That’s true. Just a mistake in credits.

" After Forever " is my favorite Ozzy era Black Sabbath song. The lyrics are amazing and proof that they don't always glorify the darker side.

Facial expressions during listening are just PERFCT. Yes I subscribed on that alone. Blessings and success.

Happy New Year you two! Great song by the evil riff lord! Hail Toni Iomi!!! By the way, CHECK YOUR DAMN POST!!! :P
Love me some Sabbath ;)
Happy New year! This is another epic tune from Black Sabbath.
Great reaction. Would love to see you react to Black Sabbath - Spiral Architect. A very underrated Sabbath song, but lyrically, one of their most diverse.
Finally!!! Love you guys. I actually used the lyrics during a bible study with our youth group. Matched up with biblical texts then played the song. We had 20 very sheltered church kids banging heads and educated at the same time.
THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! For reacting to this song. You guys are so awesome! Your channel always delivers such great songs and commentary. Loved your reations. Keep it coming and God Bless
One of my favorite Black Sabbath songs I want it played at my funeral
In 1971 there was still prayer in public schools. I was in 3rd grade then. If you listen to and read the lyrics, You will see there is a underlying meaning to most of Black Sabbath's music. they were not the quote un quote "Devil Worshippers"
Tony FN Iommi the all time riff master GOAT. He'd put more badass riffs in one song than most metal bands/guitarists create in a career.
A Christian thrash band called Deliverance covered this song as well.
Deliverance is my favorite band. They are how I know about this song.
First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR guys, I hope you have a killer 2019 with your kids and family. Second, congratulations for 88 k subscribers. Man this guys are unbelievable, there's probably no other band in history more influential than Black Sabbath, where would we be without them... God bless them.
Please react to "Nothing Is Not" by Morbid Angel and "In Their Darkened Shrines" by Nile.
Anathema - Internal Landscapes
Anathema- Untouchable 1& 2 live from Bulgaria
Black sabbath the first metal band to influence Christian metal
First heard this song when I was 16,,smokin pot with my buddy's,,,I'm 65 now,and still am a
Black Sabbath fan,,
the line ...
Are you afraid of what your friends might say,
If you believe in God above...
Hit home with me back then,,,this song has been my anthem to my life to always believe.
Too right ,a lot of people laugh at you when you say you believe in god , the problem is man thinks there’s nothing bigger than himself .
God is love
You should watch some videos of Anthony DeMello on UA-cam
Hope you have a good life
Glad you guys reacted to this one :) Knew you would get something from the lyrics !
Black Sabbath The Mob Rules with Ronnie James Dio
Pink Floyd’s song When the tigers broke free is about the singer’s father who died at the battle of Anzio 1944
N.I.B. & Children of The Grave by Black Sabbath is what i think you guys would enjoy!
No VIN, he was of our time(us old rockers).You just turned up late at the station and missed the train.Your on the same track just a later service.Peace and a Happy new year to you both.
Arch Enemy - We Will Rise + Fields of Desolation (LIVE Tyrants of the Rising Sun)
1989.. Cozy Powell went to become drummer and producer for Black Sabbath.. again.. he went to Toni's house and just said: "I have some ideas..".. Toni went to a cupboard, took out like 5 big shoppingbags full of cassesstes.. all having like 30 riffs onthem..unused.. Cozy said: "Well Toon..you should open a shop: : Toni Riffs"
Happy New Years to you and your family🎆🎉
Sabbath wrote songs about the things they saw and felt most of the lyrics were written by Terry geezer butler and the topics were what they saw and dealt with growing up during that time period coming from a factory town and most of them poor they created the sound of sabbath themselves and you would be surprised to find Tony iommi cites his influences as the shadows and jango Reinhardt . They were a blues and jazz based band who discovered their sound by creating it using pioneering techniques and a diy attitude . Especially after Tony’s accident he had to completely change the way he played guitar and that helped shaped the sabbath sound .
Love this reaction! I can see you were surprised by the lyrics.
This is the second time I’ve watched this video. It shocks me that Vin would say the lyrics were to simplistic for him. As a Christian he should know that salvation thru Jesus Christ was designed to be simple so that everyone could be saved.
Anathema - Internal Landscapes
I'd choose Suicide Veil
YES,! Internal Landscapes
GREAT BAND!
I follow you Sori. Happy new year both of you!!!
Happy New year's Vin and sori hope to see more of your videos this new year :)
Toni Iommi is the foundation upon which heavy metal was built. A lot of great music was released in 71' including the Iconic Led Zeppelin IV-but nothing comes close to matching the heaviness of Iommi's tone, Children Of The Grave is a testament to this, not to mention that this album begat Sludge, Stoner and Doom genre's all in one album.
Absolutely love this ❤️ song great message
You didn’t see that one coming did you?
Happy New Year V&S!
One of my favorite Sabbath songs...Black Sabbath forever🖤
Happy new years
Vin & Sori, I just checked info on this song. Lyrics or words is written by Geezer Butler while Tony Iommi written the music. Butler, raised an Catholic; he write lyrics focused on Christian Themes.
Always love to hear the Iommi love. he is a genius
HAPPY NEW YEAR FELLAS, KEEP DOING YOUR JOB, VERY WE'LL COUSE THERE'S NO BODY LIKE YOU ANY WAY. JUST THAT , MAYBE I'M SO CRAZY RIGHT NOW , I DON'T KNOW, PURA VIDA. we
My most favorite reaction video from y'all. While I'm a Theravada Buddhist, I do so appreciate the teachings of Christ and His message.
This album.....Master of Reality.....in my opinion (barely over a yr after the 1st album) is the very FIRST full Metal album. And you are very correct.....Iommi taught us ALL to play HEAVY. Geezer is one of the most underrated lyricist ever.....in ANY genre.
HEAVY NW YEAR VIN AND SORI!!!
Hate to say it Vin and Sori you two grew up in the wrong century. Going to a Black Sabbath concert back in the mid 1970's nothing compares.
That's exactly true. When you spawn a genre you can't help but be a genius. Tony Iommi is a force of nature with the power of his SG and Geezer Butler was the perfect foundation for Tony to stand on. I believe it took the two oif them to creat that power that changed music. The planets were in alignment, God was looking at the earth for a group of men to show his power to the Earth's youth and he found them.
Y'all should definitely do Black Sabbath Megalomania from the Sabatoge album!
Nice to see you guys doing some back catalogue Sabbath, pretty good song. Also Ozzy has been attributed by Geezer that he gives input into the lyrics Geezer writes for him so he’s more secondary to the lyrical process. Would LOVE to see your guys’ reactions to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath which is arguably one of Ozzy’s best vocal performances.
You're right Vin Tony Iommi is a genius... Ive loved him since high school...
I am seeing that the more you guys review metal on your channel, the more you are realizing that it's a very diverse genre of music. You have started a very long journey down the metal road....good luck!
Tony Iommi IS A GENIUS!!! Well said Vin and so true. I'm so glad that you totally appreciate my favorite musician of all time.
Never tired to listened to this forever even After Forever
Happy new year from 🇩🇪to 🇺🇸🤘🏻😊
You have 143K subscribers...You 2 are great and yes I have criticized your opinions. Yet they are "Your Opinions" and though I may criticize them I respect then b/c they are honest and how you believe, so you aren't lying to anyone or yourselves. I promise you by the end of this year your subscribers will go from this 134K to a million. The both of you do great things to open people up to music and ideas. Yet I may not always agree with them you still get people to think. To be a catalyst to helping people think for themselves is, well what do you 2 think that is. I will leave that answer up to the both of you. Vin and Sori always praying and wishing the best for you unconditionally. Peace and Love to you and your family and friends.
Happy New year y'all! Another great song/vid. I would like to get your take on the Black Sabbath song A National Acrobat if you decide to do another Black Sabbath reaction. I have my thoughts but would love to hear what you think. 😊
Happy New year guys .....love this song 🙂
Riffs and Hooks made the music for most of the day. Riffs were concoctions mostly born from classical music blues and Cajun soul music. Main suspects were Tony Iommi Jimmy Page Jimi Hendrix Pete Townsend
Geezer Butler is the bassist btw
are you sure?
