The Black Sabbath Riffs That Were The Blueprint for Metal

- There's no doubt Black Sabbath have inspired countless metal musicians to pick up a guitar and start a band.
Through many, many episodes of Gear Factor, we've heard shredder after shredder say the same thing. The first song they learned? The band that made them want to play in the first place? Their favorite riffs? The metal architects Black Sabbath.
See artists from Steel Panther's Satchel and High on Fire's Matt Pike to Dream Theater's John Petrucci and Gus G, plus many more, playing iconic Black Sabbath riffs.
Hear the iconic riffs that inspired countless guitar player to learn how to play the instrument in the first place.
Black Sabbath are the undisputed godfathers of heavy metal. Beginning with their eponymous debut and seminal sophomore LP, ‘Paranoid’ (both released in 1970), the quartet from Birmingham, England, coalesced the scattered contributions of numerous bands (from Blue Cheer to Led Zeppelin) into the powerful, uncompromising and surprisingly malleable style we recognize today.
After a succession of influential albums, Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward parted ways with singer Ozzy Osbourne in 1979, and, for a brief time, enjoyed nearly as much success with former Rainbow vocalist Ronnie James Dio, at the helm.

Tony Iommi is absolutely a founding father of metal genre
What an original epiphany 🤯

As much as heroes like Chuck Schuldiner, Marty Friedman, Jerry Cantrell, Dime, and others have had an Impact on me, I can never deny how Tony was the guy that first led me to the instrument. World really just wouldn’t be the same without him.
They are all amazing, they made a bed for others and it’s what you do after. Make your mess buddy… but make it a good mess(zakk voice)😂
That and cutting off his fingertips which led him to alter his playing and create what he created.
Tony and Ritchie Blackmore led me to guitar... Paranoid and Smoke in the Water...😂😂
Do we have the same Dad or something? I think we must be related
Also his guitar sound is just several levels above any of these artists here. No offense.
Into the void is one of the best riffs ever written. Its one of the heaviest riffs ever made and tony wrote it in 71! They were so ahead of their time its truly remarkable
Goddamn right.
🤘Master Of Reality🤘
I always found it weird that for being the FIRST true heavy band, all these years later it's still way heavier in actual feel than alot of modern metal, and also still just as original sounding as ever. Also the band's self titled song is still unbelievable to this day for being so heavy and evil sounding.
Those riffs.... **chef's kiss**
Void ,, space ,,, Kukulkans Space he say 👶🎧🙏👶🎧🙏👽🎤🙏👹
What makes Sabbath special isn’t just Tony. It’s every instrument being represented equally. Geezer and Bill were just as important as Iommi.
It just proves the awesomeness and influence Black Sabbath Layed
Always glad to see when someone plays something other than Paranoid, because there's no shortage of great riffs on Black Sabbath
The guy from Sleep just turned his amp levels to “mud”
Spinal Tap would turn it to 11...😂😂😂
Symptom of the Universe, Children of the Grave, Heaven and Hell, Sign of the Southern Cross, Falling of the Edge of the World, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Children of the Sea. I could go on and on and on. So many great riffs. He is such an incredible influence.
Yes they were!!! Dave Elfison playing NIB on bass. That was my favorite track to play. And yes Black Sabbath started it all!....
Ellefson
@@Gurra88 yeah! That guy!! This video made me feel better.
I'm a guitarist primarily, but Basically and NIB made me buy a bass. Then I realized how hard it is to play Geezers parts right so I ended up having to add even more practice to my regimen so I could learn bass properly. Still not as good as I am as a guitarist but I could switch hit.
Tony Iommi is one of the most important guitarists ever imo
It will be a sad day when Tony passes, I'll be bawling my eyes out. I never cried for any musician ever, but Tony will be another deal.
@@DetVenDio and Lemmy got me to shed some tears. I can't even think about losing any of the guys from Sabbath, for a bunch of strangers from across the world those guys made an absolutely HUGE difference and impact in and on me and my life.
The whole sound of Black sabbath is incredible! So unique and timeless!
Any video with Matt Pike playing gets my thumbs up
Tony was sent from heaven to raise hell on earth.
What made me pick up the bass, 22 years ago, was definitely Fairies Wear Boots. Such an amazing song.
The Black Sabbath Riffs That Were The Blueprint for Metal 0243am 3.10.23 glad someone mentioned the dickies. one of the finer cover versions... nasty bastards!!!!
👍🏻🤘🏻😊

Satchel is such a gifted guitar played wrapped in a goof ball lol
Best stage name ever. I always wondered how he came up with "Satchel" but I don't want to know as it might kill how hilariously rad I find that name. Guy rips. Bagel cutter: solid advice.
I am surprised no one mentioned children of the grave, one of the most dark and obscure tunes in music history along with black sabbath.
Yeah. The first time I heard Into The Void coming out of _my guitar_ was a real moment for the sixteen year old me.
Such an amazing progression of riffs in that song.
It's my favourite song on my favourite Sabs album, no contest.
Same here, at the same age 😂. I had my first guitar tuned down to C# for years because of that kind of songs. It happened also that a lot of bands i liked at the time played in that tuning: therion, disincarnate, my dying bride, slayer (diabolus in musica),white zombie, etc
Shout out to Kenny for playing Lord of This World. The deepest cut in this video. Phil not far behind with Warning. Lizzy with heaven and hell too. Nice.
My granddaughter is named Iommi Skye ----, after Toni Iommi. She is 7 years old. Last weekend she came to visit, and we went out to my shop to work on some Halloween decorations. She went over to my satellite radio and tuned into Ozzy's boneyard. Ya gotta love her!
*WOW!!* We all new this back in 85 lol and they're STILL making videos every other week on the subject. Can't wait to hear it again next week!
Iommi and Geezer invented Heavy Metal. Symptom of the Universe was so simple that it's genius. People talk about how simple it is but really, coming up with stuff that incredibly heavy and that hooky and catchy, there's nothing simple about it.
Lord of this world! very heavy riffing!!
Tony Iommi is and was for all time in music one of the very few a world changer's with his sound ,his riffs and his ability .If there was no Tony there would be no Sabbath . He was to be in all aspects meant to be who he was like EVH, J.Hendrix's and a few other's not to mention. When Sabbath came out I was 15 years of age a have been playing guitar for 6 years and Tony pushed me at that time like others to a new level yes Sabbath was in my blood like others. I am now 69 year of age and still play Iommi riffs so I can say it will all ways be part of me and I am sure there are so many more out there . Yes it's Good stuff to live and look back on. If anyone from Tony's camp see's this tell him to check out on You Tube Cooking with Frankie Meatball BLACK SABBATH PIZZA STORY ,that 's my story, Tony know's me, I play Guitar on the show with my story . I think Tony will like it and have a good laugh or two.
Very cool! Loved seeing what inspired them!
The first song I learned on guitar was Paranoid. It was on this VHS tape that I got from the only music shop in town.
Satchel with the fun facts 😆
Metal community is so awesome ❤
Tony iommi.
Legendary guitarist.
(He’s left handed too, that’s cool too as well).
kenny hickey got some serious friggin' great tone man!
0:02
How is it possible to simulate Iommi's tone so perfect? Why isn't everyone talking about that
New sub here. Great Sabbath stuff. Love the t-shirt too, so old school. As a teen i went to an indoor concert in 76, i saw Blue Oyster Cult, Rush, & Foghat in 1 show. Slow Ride & Working Man about blew the roof off the place, maybe thats where all the smoke was coming from🤘
That was great! Thanks, Loudwire.
Lizzy live is the most profound gig experience i had. Her energy is indescribable x
My first song learning was Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. A killer riff.
After more than 50 years, Lord of This World is still the heaviest song/riff ever.
Man I love this video...cheers 🤘
People give these popular songs their credit for bringing that metal sound and intention to the masses, but if you really dig into that discography you’ll hear that Black Sabbath really did all of the metal guitar stuff first.
Behind the wall of sleep was one of my favourite songs to learn on bass when i first started
I love love love Satchel 😻
It's thanks to Black Sabbath Ozzy, Bill, Geezer, Tony, That we have heavy and every other kind of metal, And so many great bands that were inspired my Black Sabbath.
Guys, Iommi plays Paranoid on 12th fret. Sound bigger and you can strum the higher notes of Em chord at the end of the riff as he does.
I think it's more than justified to let Matt Pike start with Into the Void. :D
We also can’t leave out the riffs from Supernaut, Cornucopia, Under The Sun, and Tomorrow’s Dream from Volume 4!
black sabbath was also the blueprint for learning guitar amoongst the youth
Love Metal/Rock ❤️‼️👍🏼🤘👍🏼
You need to make a playlist of these.
Play those first three notes of Paranoid riff with up stroke picking. Sounds much better. 👍
Choose any song from the first four albums and you’ll notice just how influential Tommy’s riffs still are.
Satchel talking about bagel cutters is hilarious
Thing about Tony's riffs is that they're relatively simple, so they can be copied by any kid just learning to play, yet they sound great. With countless kids copping Iommi riffs over the years, heavy metal progressed from a novelty offshoot of the blues to a full-blown movement, and here we are!
It was in a factory actually, satchel
Mr riffmaster Iommi loves the song Warriors by Savatage.What a huge honor for Criss Oliva
This was rad🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Black Sabbath was the second band whose song I learned on the guitar. The first being Metallica. And it was in interviews and articles from Metallica that I became aware of sabbath and consequently all that awesomeness that is the 70’s rock scene. Mostly colors. Deep purple blue oyster cult rainbow Pink Floyd. So I didn’t start with sabbath they have emerged as my favorite band over the years. Iommi is the riff lord of this world.
Into the Void is badass.
🤘
I think saying sabbath riffs that were the blueprint for metal implies the riffs weren't metal, which they absolutely were and still are!
No question the two earliest were Tony Iommi and Richie Blackmore. Then came Glen Tipton and then Michael Schenker right on his heels. Iommi and Blackmore bulldozed everything out of the way and dug the foundation, Schenker and to a lesser extent Tipton, poured the concrete and Eddie Van Halen and Randy Rhoads built the house for what became 80's metal.
They should make a video with 100 player Collab together
this clip was a slideshow of the thens of thousands of songs ive heard O.O
I can't remember what the first Black Sabbath song I learned was, maybe Iron Man. My favorites to play are Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sweet Leaf, Hole in the Sky, Black Sabbath, Snowblind, After Forever, actually all of them are a blast to play.
11:11 - wow, he must be a real Ozzy fan, like what the hell is he saying? 😅
It's all 7hanks to the The “devil’s chord" you hear in the seft-title track. The “diabolus in musica” - “the devil in music,” as it was known for centuries in the original Latin - is a tense-sounding combination of notes that creates a foreboding atmosphere.
With Black Sabbath & Paranoid along with Led Zeppelin future Metal bands would follow one of their paths and/or both.
Satchel just being Satchel.
Hey Loudwire! When the heck are y’all gonna get Al Cisneros on here talking about sleep and the history??????
We want Al!!!!!
Heaven an Hell. That'd be my pick right there!
Regardless the tunning these guys are playing, all riffs sound heavy af
Follow the tears has deadly riffs and whole album
what about "after forever" (masters of reality) 100% heavy metal riffs :)
Sweet Leaf.
Black Sabbath sound is right only when Tony and Gezzer play together.
Keep it simple. Technical death shredding doesn’t exactly convey doom.
Old school death metal does
Into the Void! 🤘
Symptom of the Universe has a massive riff
i came close to cutting the tips of my fingers off when cutting a bagel too. scary
Heavy "Black Label" vibes on the first riff played by Matt Pike.
Honestly don't really know Gus G other than being on a meh Ozzy album, but his playing blew everyone else out of the water
Half of them played Iron Man wrong lol
Are some of them a little bit nervous (shaking hands)?
🤘🏽🤘🏽
I think the main riff against the lighter moments in "Sabbath bloody Sabbath" is formula perfected. If you cant feel that one you cant grasp heavy metal. The song "black sabbath" is truly an evil sounding little diddy, im sure back when it was released it had to have scared the b'jesus out of everyone wether or not they were honest enough to admit it.
Anyone know the song Kenny Hickey is playing?
Lord of this World
electric funeral is so amazing
i like black sabbath
I never knew he had his tips cut off till I seen a video of him putting a fake finger tip on to play at ozzfest
Really
"Get a bagel cutter kids" ... It was no bagel accident!
GOOODDD MORNINGG VIETNAMM!!!
I'm from Metallica's generation, that's why I never got on board with Black Sabbath, which sounds more like rock (to my ears). But the beauty of it all is that Black Sabbath influenced my favorite band, and therefore me too by default.
The first guy in the black tank top, playing the sunburst Les Paul, the riff he’s playing is DEFINITELY the Inspector Gadget theme song. There’s no doubt about it!
"Cutting a bagel" 🤣
Tony should be on the thumbnail.
NOBODY talks about Blue Cheer
Tony Iommi is apieaner he started the HEVEY METAL riffs long live MR Iommi
He cut his fingers at work working on sheet metal
Yes, and on his lunch break, he cut his fingers trying to fix himself a bagel.
Blues was the blueprint for metal...
Sabbath started out as a blues band, so yes, you proved the video correct
I knew some fuckin' dork was gonna write that exact contextualized comment! Lol!@@Ottophil
Yeah but blues has it's own sound and playing style
Well.
Black Sabbath played a form of blues so…
Technically correct.
Heaven and hell
As a child you would be scared by the Black Sabbath song😁😁😁
Geezer butler is my hero
Satchel's jokes are only going to be got by astute guitarists. That was some Spinal Tapp level shit. Lol.
Dont cut bagels guys be careful
I do I'm ok !
Iommi is the heavyweight champ. No one is close
