Why have you waited so long? 😡 this has to be 1 of 3 of their best songs. You should always do my requests you wont be disappointed 🤭 because I'm looking through a HOLE IN THE SKY. Sabotage album
Andy & Alex Wait til you do this whole album. Its amazing!! This is my favorite Black Sabbath album. “Sabotage” Now that you’ve got the basic Black Sabbath songs out of the way it’s definitely time to delve into sabotage. I don’t even know what to say. It’s such a good album. U2 clowns are going to trip on it for sure. I guarantee it. ✌🏻 out! Great review btw.
Best Drummer of all time imo. So skilled and in his condition most couldn't even stand up never mind play at his pace. The Paris 70 show really shows how skilled he was.
@@michaelcoolidge1423 Does alcoholism actually enhance musicianship? Bonham, Moon, and Ward were all hopeless drunks. Also, Stephen King, Hemingway, and Vincent Van Gogh. Are artists improved by their substance abuse?
“Symptom of the Universe” has it all… bone-crunching riff & soaring solo by Tony, insanely dynamic drumming by Bill Ward, mystical lyrics and heavy bass by Geezer and intense vocals by Ozzy. A METAL MASTERPIECE.
I've been listening to this song over 40 years, and every time I'm blown away by Bill Ward's drumming!! To me, he is the star of this song... Great Reaction guys!!
Sabbath...The Godfathers of Hard Rock...Timeless rock sounding just as good today as almost 50 years ago & still rocking the youth of today. How many bands can say that??
I would recommend Megalomania from the album Sabotage: few people talk about it but it's a masterpiece and it has Ozzy's finest vocal performance ever in my humble opinion.
Ozzy is a big Beatles fan. The thing i found interesting about BS is they are not really that far removed from the zeitgeist of the time. They were a band who started in the late 60s looking for something to set themselves apart. They wanted their different take on what was happening and they ended up inventing heavy metal just how Velvet Underground invented alternative. Such a great song. Btw, look for the clip explaining how Toni Iommi lost his fingers in a factory accident. This had a big part in the Sabbath sound.
Andy/Alex...the entire Sabotage disc documents Ozzy's most powerful vocals of the 70's era. It's my favorite album and cements Sabbath as the Godfathers of Metal. Glad you guys love it!!
Symptom of the Universe is brilliant. Heavy metal wasn't a genre at the time and this is different than rock or hard rock. So how do we define this dark demonic sound with it's heavenly ending? This is my favorite reaction by you guys. Call me biased but I love Black Sabbath and you guys nailed it.
Yeahhhhh Sabbath, one of the first hard rock bands I got hooked on! Sabbath Bloody Sabbath guys, have a listen, the entire album is great. Then consider this, a complete 180 turn, a song called "Laguna Sunrise" which is an instrumental from Black Sabbath Vol. 4, it shows the range of talent in this band. Great job guys, what you're doing makes me so happy. Bringing generations together through music, priceless.
Every Drummer has a different style so you can't make that statement. . .Now on the other hand if you get drummers of the exact same style together and they had a Drum off to see who gets the most applause then that's different. . .Take it from a professional Drummer!!!
@@joeyb3621 I agree with you totally. Drummers like Ian paice and John Bonham and the list goes on. I was making a point yesterday for the reactors. One day they were listening to Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio with Vinny Appice of course playing drums. Well Andy said that this Black Sabbath sounded more mature. He mentioned something about Vinny being more of a mature drummer than Bill Ward was and I resented that so that's why I said that today about Vinny being Ronnie James Dio's tag along. I really think Vinny is a good drummer
he bashed those skins like he fucking hated them. Saw Sabbath many times in the early to late 70's and Bill battered the fuck out of his kit. Bonzo was the same. Both British of course.
This album (Sanatoge) and “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” are Ozzy’s peak as a vocalist. He was once quite a power house Another must from this album is “Meglomania”. It’s quite a magnum opus by Sabbath standards. Loved the reaction as usual and yes, you’re both still adorbs
Man I couldn't click fast enough on this one. All you can say is Sabbath and that says it all. Just phenomenal in every aspect HUGE FAT 11 all the way around #LongLiveOzzy 🤘
HEY ANDY AND ALEX!! I think you guys are finally starting to listen to me. I TOLD you this was gonna blow your minds! GEEZER, IOMMI, OZZY AND WARD...this band combination was the BEST BLACK SABBATH BY FAR and SABOTAGE was their BEST!! They were SO TIGHT as a band and, at the same time, each one of them was at their individual best. Their writing on this album was SO GOOD!!!! WARD was a madman, GEEZER'S bass contributed SO much, OZZY was peaking, and IOMMI....WOW!!....What can be said?!!! This was when you get IOMMI's bangin' guitar solos AND his acoustic talent....all of it impeccably produced and engineered. ANDY....this is one MEAN ASS guitar, huh?
This youtube upload was slightly sped up and the song was probably in between the keys of E and F - I have the original flac on my hard drive. Either way, Ozzy's vocal's were great on this album and the previous one "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath".
I'd love if you also check out some more 60s classics ,here's some suggestions of my favourites🤗 Yardbirds - for your love Zombies- shes not there and Season for loving Jefferson airplane - white rabbit , coming back to me, today, somebody to love, wooden ships The byrds- eight miles high The Doors -I love strange days and Love street The animals -When I was young and I believe to my soul
You can’t go wrong with any of the songs on this album but the 3 other standouts are Megalomania, The Thrill of It All and The Writ! If you ever want to hear something superbly unique by Sabbath that happens to be one of their songs that qualifies as being uplifting - then check out, “Spiral Architect,” off Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. It’s one of those songs that is a “must hear” for anyone delving into Black Sabbath.
I think I was like 10 years old when I first heard this song, now at 54, I still love it. Seen Ozzy and Black Sabbath back in the day in concert I think it was like the late 70s earlier 80s. Fuck"n" killer song. They don't make them like this anymore.
Yes. Y’all need to do Thrill of it all. Then Megalomania, it’s a true underrated masterpiece. After those, need to do Swinging the Chain with Bill Ward on vocals. Excellent song. Keep up the awesome work on the reaction vids.
This is one of my FAVORITE Black Sabbath songs and because I haven't listened to this song in a while, I LITERALLY GOT CHILLS from Bill Ward's drumming!!! He's just so good and I definitely thought that this song was better produced than the Tool song from Monday. I actually prefer Black Sabbath over Tool, but we're entitled to have our own opinions. YESSSS please do more Black Sabbath songs and I think it'd be cool to look into Black Sabbath's stuff after Ozzy Osbourne and after Bill Ward, just so that we can see if they were still able to maintain that standard without some members! I know they had many members throughout the years and bands tend to lose their sound when a member leaves or a new one joins! But yeah, great reaction video and have a great day Andy and Alex! :)
I will add my theory and agree with Bill Ward, the drumming is a percussive orchestration. He never realised how good he really was. Great song, The Writ from this album is also really good 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Hole in the Sky, The Thrill of it all, Megalomania and The Writ for me the best ones on this album but could listen to the whole album any day so damn cool.
If you want to do another song from Sabotage...a lot of ppl will say 'Meglomania' and that is a great song, but really the one that I think will be more of what you like in Black Sabbath would be 'The Writ' which is the final song on the album. Its amazing in the amount of changes and Ozzy vocals. Incredible song....I think you both will find it very impressive.
Great reaction guys, love your views on the music itself. After watching reactions like this one where you both delve into the nuances of the recordings I often find myself getting reintroduced to the songs again, back when I was 10, 12, 15 or whatever, I absolutely love this when it happens. Thanks again for teaching these old ears something new!
Other Black Sabbath "burners" that these two inquisitive boys must hear: "Zero the Hero" (featuring Ian Gillan from Deep Purple on vocals), "Neon Knights" and "The Mob Rules" (both with Ronnie James Dio). Enough said!
Such an awesome tune. Very heavy guitar and bass riffs but then that jazzy break at the end puts it over the top. And Ozzy's vocals, especially in the outro, have so much soul.
Ok ... first of all when you listen to symptom of the universe you have to listen to the short classical guitar instrumental which precedes it called "don't start(too late)" otherwise yr really missing out on its proper setup. Now then ... fasten yr seatbelts and checkout this killer set: Sabbath: don't start; master of reality Sabbath: symptom..; master of reality Priest: dissident aggressor; sin aftr sin Priest: victim of changes; unleashed in the east Then for dessert: The studio version of neon knights With ronnie james dio singing When he temporarily replaced ozzy in sabbath on the heaven and hell album
Nazareth - "Please Don't Judas Me" (in vein of Fear Inoculum); "Beggar's Day/Rose in the Heather"; "Miss Misery"... Hair of The Dog is an album that's a must. They are a combo of AC/DC (vocally) & Floyd? Hard to pigeonhole. Formed late 60's. They toured w/ Deep Purple & their bassist, Roger Glover produced 3 of their albums. Hope I'm not one of the few who remember them w/ affection? Peace.
Something that surprised me... The guitarist Manny Charlton (Nazareth), was asked to produce GnR's Appetite For Destruction.... He did about 9 demo tracks, but needed to get back to Europe to produce next Nazareth album. Not sure if that passes the smell test. I think maybe GnR was too much for him to tame?!? Who knows! Lol. But Manny's work is on the 2018 re-release of "Appetite... -- Shocked the hell out of me. Very cool. There's connections everywhere. Okay... I'm done with Nazareth pitch no one cares about them. Sad. --- Thanks guys! ;)
This needs a 17 out of 10. Geezer is the man. Great reaction again. You have done Sabbath, Maiden, Megadeth but you need to do Judas priest. Start with 70s Priest and work up to Painkiller to see how the band evolves. Victim of Changes or Beyond the Realms of death would be a great start. You cannot leave Judas Priest out of the metal discussion and their impact on metal. Tipton and Downing influenced the dual guitar attack so much. And singer Rob Halford. They don't call him "the metal god" for no reason.
Nice job and a killer song...decades of love for this whole album...Trippin in the late 70's ...Headphones with it are so SICK the mixing is sublime and flows over you...But, even though you love it when you hear it but, you need to hear it a thousand times before you know how great it is...:)
Great reaction again guys, I was very lucky to see them in the UK in 1975 on The Sabotage tour. On the album the last part of Symptom of the Universe leads nicely into the next track Megalomania, so maybe a good choice for the next Sabbath reaction. Hole in the Sky was a great opener too.
How bad ass is this song? One of my favs from my favorite band of all time! I say it all the time, I just dig watching you guys react, it’s like hearing it for the first time🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Seriously, someone needs to manufacture bobble head dolls of you two. 💛 Like I said before, I'm not an expert on Black Sabbath but they never disappoint me. Love your observations!
That intro riff was 'borrowed' by Diamond Head on Am I Evil. (later covered by Metallica on Garage Inc). Check out the Diamond Head version fellas , and play it loud - it's fantastic.
How did I miss this one!!!! Definite banger, great to see you rock out to this. Andy’s face through the whole song is priceless! Please do Spiral Architect, it is a masterpiece.
UNDER THE SUN ! 🙌 ( Come on let's get those votes up, it's time the song got it's due and a youtuber listens to it, this one always gets skipped yet it's one of the best Sabbath songs!)
Sinful how the material outside of Ozzy's stints in the band are overlooked. There's amazing material on every single Sabbath album from every single lineup. Osborne, Dio, Gillan, Hughes, Martin. All great eras in their own right.
That mixture and transition from all out heavyness to the acoustic is something that Sabbath do better than any other band. There is no one else like them.
Headphones on....eyes were closed....Ozzy took me by the hand and said, “Come.”....and I followed. This song was on another level!!! Every second was amazing. I didn’t want this song to end either! Thank you guys for this song and reaction! ❤️🤘🏻☮️
Love this reaction, song choice and band choice! Allthough I gotta say that it sounds like the track is sped up a bit and also played in a higher key than the original album version!
My friend had a two door Ford maverick he had 2 home Kenwood speakers (awesome home stereo speakers back in the day) wired in his car and they basically took up the whole back seat. So they were like a foot and a half behind us. We would roll up to the school parking lot blasting this song. The smoke and music erupting out of the car. Good times.
I was 13 years old when I bought Sabotage and heard this,that Iommi riff is out of this world,whole album is full of classic Sabbath songs and my favourite 👍🏻
Hi guys, love your channel. Would recommend Megalomania from Sabotage, one of my favorites to crank up at 15, now 58. UFO is also one of the best, Rock Bottom, Lights Out or Doctor Doctor. Incredible band.
Sabbath has too many great songs to list. But some of my favorites are "After Forever", "Into the Void", and "Supernaut". All are straight bangers that you guys will love.
I am a 63 year young musician composer and have seen Sabbath about 13 times? In dialysis i discovered your videos. Called my brother in Seattle and right away he said oh sure 1st time. He does not believe but i know for a fact all the videos i saw today are the 1st time for you both.
It was DAMN time to check out this track! And for good reason, it was a straight BANGER, a 10 all across the board, cheers guys! 🔥🤟🏻🤟🏻
Love this SONG. Great album too
Thank YOU for sharing this guys
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

This particular song created modern heavy metal, the riff is what lead to everything that came after. Tony Iommi does it again!
Tony iommi is the riff master of the universe, not matched by anyone in metal!!!
O melhor guitarrista no quesito criatividade da história do universo.
I would add he’s also thee master of hooks and turn arounds.
Correct, sir. Tony Iommi pretty much single handedly created Heavy Metal and the quintessential metal riff.
Randy Rhoads is all im gonna say
@G L i cannot argue with facts idk i guess i just worship St Rhoads he is literally like jesus to me
Bill Ward's drums are absolutely insane on this masterpiece of doomy sludgehammer heaviosity.
Best Drummer of all time imo. So skilled and in his condition most couldn't even stand up never mind play at his pace. The Paris 70 show really shows how skilled he was.
Completely agree totally fantastic drum work
Doom?!?! It’s THRASH!
correct!
@@michaelcoolidge1423 Does alcoholism actually enhance musicianship? Bonham, Moon, and Ward were all hopeless drunks. Also, Stephen King, Hemingway, and Vincent Van Gogh. Are artists improved by their substance abuse?
The jam session at the end is what separates Sabbath from every Metal band...not just in that era, but all-time!!
The versatility they had, especially in that era... phenomenal
That aspect of their playing is overlooked...They could be pretty funky...
Agreed. Also The Writ will never be topped by a metal band alone
“Symptom of the Universe” has it all… bone-crunching riff & soaring solo by Tony, insanely dynamic drumming by Bill Ward, mystical lyrics and heavy bass by Geezer and intense vocals by Ozzy. A METAL MASTERPIECE.
Thrill of it all and megalomaniac are musts from this album!
John W And Hole in the Sky and The Writ!! Fantastic album!!
You mean Megalomania and also the closing track the Writ.
@@joshuamasserant8215 yeah. Megalomania. It's the sister song to SBS's Spiral Architect'. Proto progressive metal excellence.
Every song on Sabotage is awesome.❤🎵Love how they go from those jazzy little breaks and then just bash your brains out!
Agreed! My favorite Sabbath!
You gotta hear "Spiral Architect" from the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album. A masterpiece!
you guys could literally play ANY sabbath song in the ozzy era and not be disappointed.
I've been listening to this song over 40 years, and every time I'm blown away by Bill Ward's drumming!! To me, he is the star of this song... Great Reaction guys!!
The whole Sabatage album is frigging deadly!!
Sabotage is their 6th album. I vote song called killing yourself to live. Its song from 5th lp Sabbath bloody sabbath
Wheels of confusion, A national acrobat or Spiral architect next, cant go wrong with either one.
Spiral Architect is a masterpiece. My absolute favorite Sabbath tune.
In my opinion, this is Ozzy's best vocals ever......next would be previous album ''Sabbath Bloody Sabbath".
Andrew Garin - The Writ takes that accolade in my opinion.
Sabbath...The Godfathers of Hard Rock...Timeless rock sounding just as good today as almost 50 years ago & still rocking the youth of today. How many bands can say that??
Hole in the Sky.....awesome 1st song on the same album, 1975.
Sabbra Cadabra on the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath has 4 minute jazzy instrumental outro. Worth a listen.
Do yourself a favor, Hole in the Sky off the same album. Then listen to all of Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath.
"I'm lookin through a hole in the sky"... Great song! My favorite Sabbath album
My personal favorite album.
Yes, the whole Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album is the boys taking it to another level.
The whole album "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" FOR SURE DUDES
This and Hole in the Sky are on Sabotage. THE best Sabbath album.
I would recommend Megalomania from the album Sabotage: few people talk about it but it's a masterpiece and it has Ozzy's finest vocal performance ever in my humble opinion.
That song gives me chills. And Im 56!😂
Sabbaths best song.
WHEELS OF CONFUSION
from Vol 4
trust me....
Hole in the Sky, Megalomania and The Writ are my suggestions from this album. Thrill of it All also.🤘
Megalomania is one of my favourites.
@@78vinyl97 it's a classic for sure.
Ozzy is a big Beatles fan. The thing i found interesting about BS is they are not really that far removed from the zeitgeist of the time. They were a band who started in the late 60s looking for something to set themselves apart. They wanted their different take on what was happening and they ended up inventing heavy metal just how Velvet Underground invented alternative.
Such a great song.
Btw, look for the clip explaining how Toni Iommi lost his fingers in a factory accident. This had a big part in the Sabbath sound.
BS we're the Beatles of heavy music
I’m reminded of Beatles “I want you (she’s so heavy)” for early metal
Andy/Alex...the entire Sabotage disc documents Ozzy's most powerful vocals of the 70's era. It's my favorite album and cements Sabbath as the Godfathers of Metal. Glad you guys love it!!
THIS is the best Sabbath album ever. Sabotage.

Nice job and a killer song...decades of love for this whole album...Trippin in the late 70's ...Headphones with it are so SICK the mixing is sublime and flows over you...But, even though you love it when you hear it but, you need to hear it a thousand times before you know how great it is...:)
Great reaction again guys, I was very lucky to see them in the UK in 1975 on The Sabotage tour. On the album the last part of Symptom of the Universe leads nicely into the next track Megalomania, so maybe a good choice for the next Sabbath reaction. Hole in the Sky was a great opener too.
How bad ass is this song? One of my favs from my favorite band of all time! I say it all the time, I just dig watching you guys react, it’s like hearing it for the first time🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
The Thrill of it All!! Yes!
Black Sabbath forever! We all know the magic of the music. Can we all give a huge round of applause for Geezer's amazing lyrics?!!!
Oh this was FUN!! I love watching you guys rock out! I pretend I'm at a concert with you, right up front at the stage!
The Writ & Megalomania are epic..Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is absolute gold...Self titled track, A National Acrobat & Killing Yourself to Live...🤘👍🏼☠️
Ozzy has that awesome sound the entire sabotage album
Black Sabbath quite simply defined and mastered heavy metal by themselves. Genius.
My favorite Sabbath song...I always liked how, on every new verse, the tempo seems to amp up a little...
Seriously, someone needs to manufacture bobble head dolls of you two. 💛 Like I said before, I'm not an expert on Black Sabbath but they never disappoint me. Love your observations!
Another great reaction , the first 8 Sabbath albums are all stellar . Yes, even Technical Ecstasy .Great job
Geezer and Ward - Bass and Drums made this all work
That intro riff was 'borrowed' by Diamond Head on Am I Evil. (later covered by Metallica on Garage Inc). Check out the Diamond Head version fellas , and play it loud - it's fantastic.
Was always such a great song for them to start a concert out with. Definitely got everybody jumping
The acoustic guitar part at the end is such a pleasnat surprise, so satisfying.
How did I miss this one!!!! Definite banger, great to see you rock out to this. Andy’s face through the whole song is priceless! Please do Spiral Architect, it is a masterpiece.
Great reaction guys to a great song. Its of their 6th album
UNDER THE SUN ! 🙌 ( Come on let's get those votes up, it's time the song got it's due and a youtuber listens to it, this one always gets skipped yet it's one of the best Sabbath songs!)
Yes to Under the Sun! A must have!
Under in my top 5
Zero the Hero or disturbing the priest from the born again record. Blistering performances featuring Ian Gillian from deep purple.
Sinful how the material outside of Ozzy's stints in the band are overlooked. There's amazing material on every single Sabbath album from every single lineup. Osborne, Dio, Gillan, Hughes, Martin. All great eras in their own right.
That mixture and transition from all out heavyness to the acoustic is something that Sabbath do better than any other band. There is no one else like them.
Just go ahead and listen to the entire Sabotage album!! You will not be disappointed...trust me!!
Hell yeah! That hit at 4:43 didn't it? Gods of music right here boys. Greatest band of all time 🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻🔥
Headphones on....eyes were closed....Ozzy took me by the hand and said, “Come.”....and I followed. This song was on another level!!! Every second was amazing. I didn’t want this song to end either! Thank you guys for this song and reaction! ❤️🤘🏻☮️
Love this reaction, song choice and band choice! Allthough I gotta say that it sounds like the track is sped up a bit and also played in a higher key than the original album version!
My friend had a two door Ford maverick he had 2 home Kenwood speakers (awesome home stereo speakers back in the day) wired in his car and they basically took up the whole back seat. So they were like a foot and a half behind us. We would roll up to the school parking lot blasting this song. The smoke and music erupting out of the car. Good times.
Haha epic change “what?” Good ol tony keeping it fresh. Love sabbath, nice work boys
Bill Ward was one of the fastest, most intricate drummers in rock!
Pfff no
@@agustinares930 yes
Great choice for a reaction. More Sabbath please.
I was 13 years old when I bought Sabotage and heard this,that Iommi riff is out of this world,whole album is full of classic Sabbath songs and my favourite 👍🏻
You two look like a couple of bobbleheads on this one, lol
You too they just got their official bobalheads in the mail
Hi guys, love your channel. Would recommend Megalomania from Sabotage, one of my favorites to crank up at 15, now 58. UFO is also one of the best, Rock Bottom, Lights Out or Doctor Doctor. Incredible band.
UFO are a brilliant band. Criminally underrated or unknown. The mighty Thin Lizzy likewise 🤘🤘
And this is their sixth album. Came out after Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
OK, just got here, ready to see you guys get blown away!
@Walking Wounded
Hey man! And hell yeah this track had us rockin’!!
You listened to a pitch shifted version
How has no one else in the comments noticed this? This sounds weird compared to the regular version.
Shallex they’ve done it with other videos, just watched their snowblind video and you can tell the audio has been altered to avoid copyright
It is right? It’s like a half or whole step higher.
Into The Void. Heck, just do the entire "Master of Reality" album. Heavy album that is the birth of sludge.
Sabbath has too many great songs to list. But some of my favorites are "After Forever", "Into the Void", and "Supernaut". All are straight bangers that you guys will love.
I am a 63 year young musician composer and have seen Sabbath about 13 times? In dialysis i discovered your videos. Called my brother in Seattle and right away he said oh sure 1st time. He does not believe but i know for a fact all the videos i saw today are the 1st time for you both.
M E G A L O M A N I A
It's from the same album, literally the next song song on the album.. check it out!!!
Sepultura did an awesome cover of this so g you should give it a listen some time very heavy
I almost like the cover better.
