Once we hit that goal we’ll get studio time and do a cover for a track of your guys’ choosing! Was time for some more Sabbath, always awesome to get into more of their tracks!! Hope you guys are doing awesome, cheers to ya! 🤟🏻🔥
Andy & Alex Hey Guys, enjoyed. Have you thought about giving YES another try. Roundabout is real played out and Closer to the Edge more obscure. How about...I’ve seen all Good People, Long Distance Runaround, Yours is no disgrace, And You and I. These are all lost in the sauce songs and nothing you have to work at like closer to the edge
Jesus, dude, I remember the first time I heard this song when I was a kid. It was like discovering witchcraft. It literally changed my life. Without a doubt, this is my favorite metal song of all time. Ozzy’s vocal breakup is PERFECT for the song.
guitarkis49 TESTIFY!!! I’m trying to find a simple way to explain it to people. It’s like modern rock has all kinds of compression and processed distortion, effects... They spend tens of thousands of dollars to get that perfect metal sound. Whereas, Tony and Geezer simply walked into the room, plugged in their guitars, turned on their amps and blew up disco.
Brings back memories of getting high with your friends, going home, and trying to maintain til you could get to your room, put Black Sabbath on the turntable, and float away.
That is one of my favorite things about this song. It rocks out and you love it, then they drop the hammer. I have the image of looking down a darkened staircase, suddenly a big boot slams your spine and you are kicked into the basement.
"he was paid with beer" ,LOL, freaking Rick Wakeman, you have to love the guy... his speech in the R'N'R HoF ceremony with Yes is one of the best stand-up comedy routines I ever seen XDD
Do some early Ozzy solo stuff: Over the Mountain, Flying High Again, I Don't Know, Mr Crowley.. Randy Rhoads is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. RIP.
Those first two albums are spectacular. One song that I have really learned to appreciate is Diary of a Madman. In my humble opinion that song has Randy’s best guitar work. That is not to suggest that all of his guitar work was not brilliant but that song just really stands out for me.
Ken Pustelnik and Pete Crukshank of Groundhogs I think blow all others out of water Cherry red and the whole of split 1-4 as well as Garden eccentric man and darkness is no friend as well as title track off Thank christ for the Bomb. To me as a band I don't get how they didn't get the iconic status of other British Bands of era
Absolutely. When I was a kid I wasn’t musically-mature enough to understand what was happening, I just knew that it sounded killer. The more I studied and played music, the more I appreciate how monolithic Ward and Butler really are in the foundation of metal.
Yeah but in my view, in Black Sabbath specifically, the bass & guitar seem to form a duo, Bill is a fucking phenom on the drums, really being like a third of the overall songs, & Ozzy is usually singing the guitar/bass riffs, idk what this type of singing is called, kinda the reverse with Dio onwards.
I'm an old punk and speed metal guy, and until I was in my 30s, I never really gave Sabbath much attention. I have no clue why, but our musical tastes certainly change as we age. I think these guys are incredible and Bulter and Ward provide one of the best bottom ends in music period. Killer stuff.
Todd S I feel that way about kiss...can't tell ya why. Maybe the costumes? Never gave them a chance. Maybe through this channel I'll discover I was wrong all my life lol...
@@keelsmac01 I thought the Kiss costumes were the greatest thing ever as a kid growing up in late 70's early 80's world. But I've never found more than two or three songs I can stand to actually listen to. 40 years to grow on me, and I still just like the costumes. :)
@Robert Reichle I'm with you on the Kiss comment. I might be able to find 3 songs I like also. It was like each album was worse than the one before. But the costumes. Oh, wait, no. They looked like a bunch of clowns, I wasn't into the buffoons. Style over substance. They sucked from day one.
I love how, on all these SBS reaction vids, all the Sabbath fans immediately skip to half-way through the song just to see people's reactions to THAT RIFF!
One of the first LP's I ever bought was Black Sabbath Master of Reality. I thought I was home alone and cranked up Sweet Leaf. My aunt came running down the stairs the the sound of the cough. She thought I was dying,
I'd like to second or third the call for more early Ozzy. Diary of a Madman, Over the Mountain, Flying High Again, Mr Crowley, SATO, You Can't Kill Rock & Roll
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is for sure their most accomplished album. If you read the context around how this album was created, and what their situation was like at the time of this recording, it is unbelievable how they made this album!
Some of Sabbaths Best Material On this While the whole progressive Rock stuff were happening they came up with This Masterpiece the whole album is brilliant. The whole album is a request my favourites are the title track, “A National Acrobat”, Sabbra Cadabbra, Killing Yourself to Live, Looking for Today and Spiral Architect
I listened to the album today in my headset while I was doing aerial survey work over the Tetons. I wish I could upload the experience. Spiral Architect and A National Acrobat at 10,000 with mountains and glaciers below. Then my player randomly pulled up “Veteran of the Psychic Wars” from B.O.C., which segued perfectly.
James Fetherston - Rick was bored when Yes were honing some tracks , so he went next door got shitfaced with the lads and ending up keys on Sabbracadabra . Ricks son toured with them on the last few tours they did .
1 song by Iron Butterfly/ In Gadda Da Vida was the closest song to a blue print for heavy metal before any one else ,,even more so than Blue Cheer/ Summertime Blues
@@VIDSTORAGE I think what seperates sabbath from the other bands and their heavy songs is that they had the heavy riffs, bass, drums and haunting vocals, but more importantly they had a lot of songs referring to satan whether it be telling a story or having a genuine dark scary theme to an entire album. I mean Iommi and geezer brought downtuning into the spotlight in modern music. The songs you listed are definitely proto-metal but sabbath changed the game
The first time that the term heavy metal was used to label a band, was done by a Rolling Stone magazine writter to describe the sound of Sir Lord Baltimore. Super killer band!!
@@romanf.9600 In Gadda Da Vida had all that other than the satninc themes but the distortion and the gloom and doom sound with the echo chamber effect just gave it that sound that Black Sabbth took off and ran with but Iron Butterfly never progressed on that sound.. .....ua-cam.com/video/ZTQqO4C5aLg/v-deo.html This is the short 45 mono that really brings out that metal vibe that we are trying to describe when it was not called metal..
Always loved their transitions from super ridiculously heavy to laid back, thoughtful and quite jazzy. Tony Iommi's treble booster making his guitar tone. Thick
I believe Geezer Butler once said in an interview, when asked which songs would you pick to put on a compilation and his response was "Anything from the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath record". That's a pretty good endorsement!
This is my favourite Sabbath album. Thanks to the people who introduced me to their music when I was 17. I am now 60. If anyone touches my Sabbath collection. Trouble. ' Living just for dieing, dieing just for you'. 🎶 xxxx
The thing about this great song is that the vocals were in Ozzy's upper register almost the entire song, and he had trouble singing it live, even on the SBS tour.
You pretty much need oxygen, helium or a kick in the nuts to sing it live. You don’t need drugs or alcohol because of the head rush, but, anybody who tries to sing it just sounds like Brian Johnson trying to do Bon Scott. I used to be able to hit it pretty close but I remember doing it at a fundraiser for a skate park and thinking “How the f-k am I gonna get through this?! Okay, here we go...” *inhale*. WHEEEEERRRRE CAAAN-”
I owned Paranoid before I bought this. I wasn't a huge Sabbath fan, but my band played tracks off the Paranoid album, which is why I had it - so I could learn the bass lines. But when this came out, I started to respect the band's musicianship a lot more. For one thing, the transitions in this song were killer - and a challenge to master. I went back and gradually acquired their other albums as a result.
The greatest band ever. So much better than all the other stuff you have been playing. And some of the stuff you've been playing is pretty good. Long live Sabbath. Do the whole album. Then Heaven and Hell album. Their 2 best albums
Me, one of my brothers and his friend Joel got all 420'd up one Saturday when this album was new and somehow we decided to listen only to this tune all night. It became so hilarious each time (after about the 20th play) that we couldn't even sing our parts from cracking up
I bought the Black Sabbath debut album when it came out just because of the album cover--I thought, "This has gotta be scary!" And it was. I was blown away at how big the sound a band with one guitar, one bass and one drummer with a singer could be when it was obvious there were no production gimmicks or over-dubbing. This was like nothing that was happening at the time. The closest thing there was, was Deep Purple "Machine Head." That said, I just discovered you guys a couple of days ago. You are playing and reacting to music that I've been listening to for 40, 50, and more years. And now, because of your reactions, opinions, reviews, I am again listening to this music closely and appreciating it so much again. Thank you! It's good to see folks who weren't even around when this music was new, appreciating it and giving it the attention it deserves. And I really respect your opinions. Now, for my suggestions: Yes "Long Distance Runaround" Jethro Tull "To Cry You a Song" Supertramp "School" Pat Travers "Off Beat Ride" Chris Squire "Lucky Seven" Eric Johnson "Cliffs of Dover" Climax Blues Band "Couldn't Get it Right" Steely Dan "Kid Charlemagne" and "Don't Take Me Alive" and Chuck Berry "Maybellene" (the first ever rock-and-roll song) Thanks for considering!!
Bill Ward is the most underrated rock drummer. Period. He doens't have the flash like Neil Peart or Bill Bruford, but everything he plays just fits perfectly, and is rarely a simple 4/4 backbeat.
“It’s Alright” is another tune that I can guarantee you’ll be taken aback by. Bill Ward actually sings lead. Beautiful track that doesn’t exactly scream “Sabbath.”
Love love love this one! Never listened to much Black Sabbath until I started watching your channel. The bass was flat out mean on this, thanks for introducing this one to me. 🎵🎵
When asked why they have this plodding thumping beat, Sabbath guitarist (Tony Iommi) said all popular music beats reflect their origin and theirs was the steam hammers in the foundries surrounding and shaking their schools and homes in the English midlands Black Country (because it was dirty and industrial since the 18th century) near Birmingham. 'All those works have gone. The last place you can hear that beat is in our music.' he said. The man is a musical poet with plastic fingertips (chopped off in a metal guillotine in an industrial accident). He plays with plastic fingers!!
this is why they are the grandfathers of Metal, nobody back then had ever heard a sound like this and it blew some minds back then and still today, ha. Great reaction guys
@@stevencouch5691 LOVE My Stars. School's Out is such a fantastic album and the title track is the most overrated on the record, imo. The end of Love It To Death ("Second Coming/Ballad of Dwight Fry/Sun Arise") is SO GOOD!
One thing about listening to Sabbath is context. I was around when there was nothing quite like it. Hearing all the metal that came after it first might lessen it a bit. But everyone seems to love it, so maybe that doesn’t matter too much. But when things are fresh and different than most other music around it, it’s awesome!
Born Again is the obvious successor to the Ozzy Sabbath years. Dio Sabbath is terrific, but it's more like a continuation of his work with Rainbow than it is like Sabbath. Born Again, though, follows perfectly from Never Say Die.
The 5:18 “Aww DUDE!!” and Alex’s stunned😯 face made me spit out my drink forreal.😂😂😂 I think I probably had the same reaction the first time I ever heard this song too😁... and yes, that is most definitely my fave part of the song.🤘🏽
Ozzy said in an interview i saw that this was his favorite sabbath album. i agree with him, you should hear the whole thing, and if not you def need to hear ''A national acrobat''.
Hearing this is giving me the 70s feelzzz!!! My next door neighbor was a drummer, he played this for me on 8 track LOL. I was hooked and he became my husband. This whole album is killer!! Randy Rhoads is EPIC!! R.I.P. And if you want to trip out listen to "Laguna Sunrise ", a complete 180 from this song, it shows the range of talent in this band. Thanks guys, loved your reactions, I knew that first transition would getcha!!
Love the way they disregarded the "verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, etc.' formula. In the early stuff you got 4 songs shoved into one. In every song. Brilliant.
One of my favorite Sabbath tracks, and one of their heaviest. A few less well known Sabbath tracks you guys might want to check out: Hole In The Sky, Megalomania and Snowblind.
A great Sabbath song is Slipping Away, off the Mob Rules album. It's in the Dio era, so, y'know... the vocals are more polished. And it's groovier than their usual stuff. For some reason I never see it included in their classics, but for my money it's as good as anything they ever did.
Now you guys have to sample "the other half" of rock during this time: The Sweet - "Fox on the Run", "Ballroom Blitz" T-Rex - 20th Century Boy and Bang a Gong David Bowie - Moonage Daydream and Jean Jeanie
Very first concert I ever attended was the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath tour at the Chicago Amphitheater. Think I was 14. Imagine getting this LP and then seeing them live the same year. It was mind-blowing at 14... but listening to it now, it's just as good if not better.
YES!!! THE FIRST BAND I EVER SAW LIVE BACK IN 1975. FANTASTIC CONCERT. DID ALL THE SONGS FROM THEIR LIVE AT THE FILLMORE ALBUM. THIS ONE OF MY FAVS FROM THEM.
You've done a lot of Sabbath, I'd suggest checking out their live performance from Paris 1970. It's an hour-long pro-shot film. The whole show as well as the individual songs are here on YT. Very raw and straight forward. Small theater, no light show, no drum riser.
So food to have Sabbath make a triumphant return, such a great fat bass sound, great vocals, and I learned a new word obfuscated, thanks for that Alex will def be using in future. Oh and congrats on the 50k well deserved, the best and most honest reation/music channel on UA-cam.
I was 4 when this came out and my older sister by 10 years brought it home and put it on when our parents were put one night. Everything changed that night and my whole life has stemmed from that point.
The artist Drew Struzan did the album cover for "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" he went on to do some of the most famous movie posters in history. "Star Wars, Raider's of the lost Ark, Harry Potter" and hundreds more. This is my personal favorite Ozzy era Sabbath LP.
thewallofsleep MoR was one of my first records. I bought it, Who’s Next and Aqualung in one trip to the record store in 1971. So I am partial to all of them.
Once we hit that goal we’ll get studio time and do a cover for a track of your guys’ choosing! Was time for some more Sabbath, always awesome to get into more of their tracks!! Hope you guys are doing awesome, cheers to ya! 🤟🏻🔥
Andy & Alex Hey guys! Great pick! Please try “Trukin” by The Grateful Dead! ✌️ ☮️
This band is so much more powerful with Dio. Osborne's just a riff singer with a lot of balls.
You guys should do a live stream. Gotta get my plug in for The Tubes, anyone with me?

From Paranoid try Faries Wear Boots, the changing chord progressions will blow you away, also War Pigs, Paranoid and Iron Man
One of the heaviest bridges EVER.
And I think Ozzy's trembling high vocals during this part, somehow compliment the song.
Somehow?? ....thats one of the creepiest, scariest, metal vocals you'll ever hear!! Classic Ozzy, Classic Sabbath!!
Tony and band wrote the heaviest riffs ever. I don't give a shit about today's metal riffs, this stuff was and still is the best metal.
Jesus, dude, I remember the first time I heard this song when I was a kid. It was like discovering witchcraft. It literally changed my life. Without a doubt, this is my favorite metal song of all time. Ozzy’s vocal breakup is PERFECT for the song.

It has that super heavy part made even heavier because of the jazzy sounding bit in the chorus.

You nailed it right there, lol.
I do that now in 2020
F..k yeah
05:18 The riff discovered at the foundation of the universe.
Ah man you can just see their facial expressions and that says it all
Just as you are thinking this is song is kick-ass, it shifts into something even more kick-ass. Sabbath has a way of repeatedly doing that.
Exactly. They outflex themselves in the same song all the time haha.
That is one of my favorite things about this song. It rocks out and you love it, then they drop the hammer. I have the image of looking down a darkened staircase, suddenly a big boot slams your spine and you are kicked into the basement.
I think it is key to their sound. The shift here is probably my favorite change like that in any song I can think of...
The heaviest break ever. Love it!
Interesting facts, Rick Wakeman from YES on keyboards is featured on this album. In the song "Sabbra Cadabra". He was paid with beer
"he was paid with beer" ,LOL, freaking Rick Wakeman, you have to love the guy... his speech in the R'N'R HoF ceremony with Yes is one of the best stand-up comedy routines I ever seen XDD
According to Rick, he played on everything by everyone!!!

The irony of Sabbath, their song Changes has no changes, while this one is like five songs rolled into one.
The drop into the last riff is one of my favorite things on this earth.
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is for sure their most accomplished album. If you read the context around how this album was created, and what their situation was like at the time of this recording, it is unbelievable how they made this album!
To think Iommi thought he was done with making music, because of severe writer's block, when work sessions for the album started.

The whole album is a request my favourites are the title track, “A National Acrobat”, Sabbra Cadabbra, Killing Yourself to Live, Looking for Today and Spiral Architect
Pawn Hearts.
I completely agree! The "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" is peak Black Sabbath.
Yes was recording or rehearsing in the same studio at this time, so any of the synthesizer you hear on this album is courtesy of Rick Wakeman.

Alot of people in this comment section have said the same thing. Just became alot of people's favorite track of theirs.
Sabbath always makes me happy. They made some great music.
"Megalomania" off of Sabotage is a badass track! Similar instrumental vibes to this song with a very different tone
Megalomania was my pissed at the world song when I was 15, crank when nobody home! Although looking back, was just a spoiled teen
I really can't believe someone not hearing this masterpiece of a song
Great reaction cheers!
The whole album is a masterpiece. I remember when it came out the UK music paper "Melody Maker" just summed it up as "Black Beauty".
Bill Ward - Damn! "every head must bow, every tongue must confess, this is the greatest of all time".
All early Sabbath with Ozzy kicks ass!😎✌
I didn't buy any of their albums when Ozzy left, until 13 came out.
@Metal Albums Archive I should probably revisit some of the later albums, I'm just about over the fact that Ozzy left the band :-)

My fave Sabbath song by a wide margin. The whole album is a masterpiece. Tony Iommi is a genius. 🤘🤘🤘
I remember hearing this song for the first time on Halloween night. Changed my musical life!!
Recommending "Children of the grave" next!
Bill Ward is the most underrated rock drummer. Period. He doens't have the flash like Neil Peart or Bill Bruford, but everything he plays just fits perfectly, and is rarely a simple 4/4 backbeat.
“It’s Alright” is another tune that I can guarantee you’ll be taken aback by. Bill Ward actually sings lead. Beautiful track that doesn’t exactly scream “Sabbath.”
I'm writing this before I listen, but it's GREAT to see you reacting to some Sabbath from my *favorite* album of theirs. Every track is a gem!
OK, I've listened. I'm waiting for "A National Acrobat" ... LOVE this album! You want easy-listening Sabbath? Listen to "Fluff".
This was 'hard rock' at it's best, before the term 'heavy metal' was coined a few years later! Sabbath are considered THE grandfathers of metal.
Dont forget it was a lyric by Steppenwolf circa 68/69
WOW I remember this one well. This rocked us hard back in the day .
TOTALLY different Sabbath, "Laguna Sunrise."
Friggin great guitar track. Mellow and soothing, yet haunting. Good on you Pat, I feel like Laguna ain't celebrated enough.
My favorite 💕
Love love love this one! Never listened to much Black Sabbath until I started watching your channel. The bass was flat out mean on this, thanks for introducing this one to me. 🎵🎵
My favorite Sabbath song. Next "The Thrill of it All".
When asked why they have this plodding thumping beat, Sabbath guitarist (Tony Iommi) said all popular music beats reflect their origin and theirs was the steam hammers in the foundries surrounding and shaking their schools and homes in the English midlands Black Country (because it was dirty and industrial since the 18th century) near Birmingham. 'All those works have gone. The last place you can hear that beat is in our music.' he said. The man is a musical poet with plastic fingertips (chopped off in a metal guillotine in an industrial accident). He plays with plastic fingers!!
Sabbath anytime! Glad ya'll are discovering real rock!
Highway Song by Blackfoot guys! Ya'll need to trust this old man.
That was so good!! I haven’t heard that song in over 35 years. I’m totally forgetting how good that album is
Guys, I know you love Rush, keep going with them and please do Cygnus X-1 book 1 and 2! Great journey
this is why they are the grandfathers of Metal, nobody back then had ever heard a sound like this and it blew some minds back then and still today, ha. Great reaction guys
Do some Alice Cooper! I really think you guys would love it. Muscle of Love, I'm 18, Under My Wheels.
Billion Dollar Babies, School is Out.
No More Mr. Nice Guy! Brilliant stuff!
Welcome to My Nightmare
Halo Of Flies, My Stars
@@stevencouch5691 LOVE My Stars. School's Out is such a fantastic album and the title track is the most overrated on the record, imo.
The end of Love It To Death ("Second Coming/Ballad of Dwight Fry/Sun Arise") is SO GOOD!
One thing about listening to Sabbath is context. I was around when there was nothing quite like it. Hearing all the metal that came after it first might lessen it a bit. But everyone seems to love it, so maybe that doesn’t matter too much. But when things are fresh and different than most other music around it, it’s awesome!
Do megalomania Ozzys voice was at its peakkk!!!
Agreed!
There is a live version, where Ozzy is killing it.
ua-cam.com/video/4WrTZweHXTI/v-deo.html
Megalomania! Incredible song!
Yes! I'm so happy that you finally get this album. If you ask me, this is the best Sabbath album. Pure gold.
Thank you!
the ending of this song is like a prelude to Born Again.
Born Again is the obvious successor to the Ozzy Sabbath years. Dio Sabbath is terrific, but it's more like a continuation of his work with Rainbow than it is like Sabbath.
Born Again, though, follows perfectly from Never Say Die.
The 5:18 “Aww DUDE!!” and Alex’s stunned😯 face made me spit out my drink forreal.😂😂😂 I think I probably had the same reaction the first time I ever heard this song too😁... and yes, that is most definitely my fave part of the song.🤘🏽
Ozzy said in an interview i saw that this was his favorite sabbath album. i agree with him, you should hear the whole thing, and if not you def need to hear ''A national acrobat''.
RZAJW and spiral architect
@@mattpfarr5992 oh yeah
Hearing this is giving me the 70s feelzzz!!! My next door neighbor was a drummer, he played this for me on 8 track LOL. I was hooked and he became my husband. This whole album is killer!! Randy Rhoads is EPIC!! R.I.P. And if you want to trip out listen to "Laguna Sunrise ", a complete 180 from this song, it shows the range of talent in this band. Thanks guys, loved your reactions, I knew that first transition would getcha!!
We're playing a drinking game , a shot every time you guys say "dude " ....I'm more of a bros. type . Lol Phenomenal epic album
RD Hudon I say ‘dude’ all the time.
Love the way they disregarded the "verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, etc.' formula. In the early stuff you got 4 songs shoved into one. In every song. Brilliant.
Highway song by Blackfoot
...and please live version from one of the greatest live album ever.
Then Dry County
The studio version is my preference but I’d love to see their reaction to either
Train, train! Gotta be first.
Next sabbath song should be Wheels of Confusion or maybe National Acrobat from the same album!
Music critics often state "Paranoid" as the best, most kick-ass song from the Ozzy period Black Sabbath, but I feel this track is actually superior!
I always thought Paranoid was their weakest song.
"Nobody will ever let you know, when you ask the reasons why, they just tell you you are on your own, fill your head up full of lies"
Now-a-days a band would turn this into 3 different songs.
Haven't heard this one in years. Thanks guys!
Check out ‘The Writ’ from Sabotage if you want to hear Ozzy’s highest notes. Overlooked classic!
One of my favorite Sabbath tracks, and one of their heaviest. A few less well known Sabbath tracks you guys might want to check out: Hole In The Sky, Megalomania and Snowblind.
A great Sabbath song is Slipping Away, off the Mob Rules album. It's in the Dio era, so, y'know... the vocals are more polished. And it's groovier than their usual stuff. For some reason I never see it included in their classics, but for my money it's as good as anything they ever did.
Mob Rules is awesome. Sign of the Southern Cross, Country Girl, and the title track are great too.
That record is full of awesome tracks. Definitely one of their best.
Been a long time coming for this one! Showed Ozzy could actually sing! Geezer Butler on bass.
I was luckily introduced to Sabbath pretty early in my listening journey and I can hear their influence in so many bands, even now.
great review guys.
next Sabbath: Wheels of Confusion/The Straightener, Tomorrow's Dream, Children of the Grave
Sweet Leaf
Fairies wear boots
Snowblind
@@rhrdherring7 they did Snowblind already
That moment at 5:15 when it comes out of the solo into that groove it just hits you. We've all been there.
Now you guys have to sample "the other half" of rock during this time:
The Sweet - "Fox on the Run", "Ballroom Blitz"
T-Rex - 20th Century Boy and Bang a Gong
David Bowie - Moonage Daydream and Jean Jeanie
Absolutely. Great suggestions!
Suffragette City by Bowie is fun
I'm waiting for them to reach their Bowie stage, it's going to be interesting.
But Sweet, Fox on the Run... any time! 😊
Sweet "Set Me Free" Way before Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Motorhead kicked up the tempo.
Sweet-Solid Gold Brass ...for metal Sweet...Keep it In or Sweet F.A.
Very first concert I ever attended was the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath tour at the Chicago Amphitheater. Think I was 14. Imagine getting this LP and then seeing them live the same year. It was mind-blowing at 14... but listening to it now, it's just as good if not better.
30 days in the hole. Humble pie
YES!!! THE FIRST BAND I EVER SAW LIVE BACK IN 1975. FANTASTIC CONCERT. DID ALL THE SONGS FROM THEIR LIVE AT THE FILLMORE ALBUM. THIS ONE OF MY FAVS FROM THEM.
It's Andy and Alex! Yay! I look forward for your reactions! :)
You've done a lot of Sabbath, I'd suggest checking out their live performance from Paris 1970. It's an hour-long pro-shot film. The whole show as well as the individual songs are here on YT. Very raw and straight forward. Small theater, no light show, no drum riser.
Agree. Shows them in an entirely different light. Great suggestion. :)
Yea you are right that is a good video with great audio for the time.
THE LAS SUPPER is the best live performance
LAST
Sabbath at their very best in my opinion. They were incredible!!
This makes me think you guys would love Bauhaus's "In the Night" and "The Passion of Lovers."
Personal fav's of mine are Dark Entries, Terror Couple Kill Colonel and Silent Hedges.
@@jasonsmith666 Oh, hell, yes. And their cover of "Telegram Sam" is just so good. So good.
So food to have Sabbath make a triumphant return, such a great fat bass sound, great vocals, and I learned a new word obfuscated, thanks for that Alex will def be using in future. Oh and congrats on the 50k well deserved, the best and most honest reation/music channel on UA-cam.
I was 4 when this came out and my older sister by 10 years brought it home and put it on when our parents were put one night. Everything changed that night and my whole life has stemmed from that point.
Sabbath had two of the best in Ozzy and Dio! Geezer and Bill were such great jazz instrumentalists!
Children of the Grave
The artist Drew Struzan did the album cover for "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" he went on to do some of the most famous movie posters in history. "Star Wars, Raider's of the lost Ark, Harry Potter" and hundreds more. This is my personal favorite Ozzy era Sabbath LP.
This entire album is a monster. Possibly my favorite Sabbath record, possibly tied with Master of Reality; it just depends on what day you ask me.
thewallofsleep MoR was one of my first records. I bought it, Who’s Next and Aqualung in one trip to the record store in 1971. So I am partial to all of them.
@@Mr05Chuck All absolute classics. I wasn't born until 83, so I got into a lot of stuff later. I'm not as young as our boys here though!
Thank You! It's probably been 25 years since I listened to that. I forgot how good it was. Time just slips away from you.
IRON MAN!!!!
First saw Black Sabbath in 1978 in Manchester, England, it was their tenth anniversary tour, you never forget your first time.
