The bass player, Geezer Butler wrote most of Black Sabbath's lyrics and he is a CRIMINALLY underrated lyricist!
Good to know. Gonna remember that name.
@@you2449 Hard to forget a cool name like that.
He is also a criminally underrated bass player.
Agree totally...I would say the same about Bill Ward the drummer
@@you2449 check out the song Fairies Wear Boots! I believe it was on the same album that this song on!!
Legendary song. Ozzy and Geezer at their best. Message of the poor being eat’n by political war-machines still holds true today.
Military is54percent middle class
Absolutely correct!
cannibalism - TODAY?
@@viceroybear6298 This song comes from the Vietnam era. Things were different then. People with money were getting college deferments, so it was mainly the poor who got shipped off to southeast Asia to die.
@@jollyrodgers7272 yup!
Bill Ward is a very underrated drummer he deserves a lot more credit then history gives him.
In the heavy community, he is hailed as the best.
It's his background in jazz, which becomes clearly apparent in this track.
Watch the live version of this song-recorded in Paris in 1973: you will see Bill at his best!
Correction: That's Paris 1970- sorry.
I love his playing on The Wizard from the debut. Floors me every time.
The best metal band ever. The founders. The inventers. The originators. Call it what you want. The first 4 Sabbath albums are the blueprint for heavy metal.
Hard to say who was the first true metal band, there were a few that came out right at 1970. Budgie was one of them. many people think Blue Cheer was the first in 1968, but it's really only for one song, and I feel that Blue Cheer was kinda copying Jimi Hendrix's guitar style, who's debut came out a year earlier. I know that the term heavy metal didn't start being used until bands like Led Zeppelin came out.
I also maintain he Sabbath invented the subgenre known as doom metal- the very heavy, slow style best represented by Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus. I think Master of Reality paved the way for this style.
When ask Ozzie said we are Rock and Roll.
@@westtexas7 I've heard that quote from Ozzy as well. The fact is, in 1970, the term "heavy metal" was not clearly defined, and throughout the 70s it was used interchangeably with "hard rock", sometimes referring to the same music. The term grew organically among rock fans to mean whatever was the heaviest, hardest sounding music at the time, and was probably influenced by songs like Born to be wild, Iron man, and the image of the crashing Hindenburg symbolizing a zeppelin made of lead. All references to metal of some sort.
First 4? Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, other than the title track, is def less metal. But Sabotage? For Hole in the Sky and Symptom of the Universe alone, that's a metal ass album.
War Pigs is one of the best songs of all time. The composition, guitars, drums, bass, vocals everything really astounding individually, but also complements each other so good as a whole.
It's a timeless song and showcases why Black Sabbath are head of their time.
This is really part of the birth of heavy metal.
It was definitely true in Vietnam where the rich kids were immune to the draft
This song changed my life. After hearing it, I had to have more and so my quest began.
Agreed
Recently it hit me that how Metallica's "Fade to Black" is built up might be based on War Pigs. The chapters, tempo changes and changes in melody and the type of guitar solos.
Very different sound and notes but it's like as if they took this song and wrote theirs over it. Check it out and compare.
OG Sabbath are untouchable. Each member a master of his instrument. Geezer's bass & Bill on drums with Tommi on guitar(s) & Ozzy on vox. Perfect line up imo.
who's Tommi, there's a Tony Iommi. You sure you actually like this band bub?
@@bubbaluvv probably auto corrected lommi
@@spicyladjr3650 either that, their post froze midway through
*rant alert*
OG Sabbath? Who they?? Okay, deliberately pretending ignorance, just fed up with this 'OG' business. What has 'Original Gangster' to do with anything? Just say 'original', and stop it with this American gang culture slang (yes, I looked up the derivation). This term has seemingly become ubiquitous over the past year or so, with even British broadcasters using it. FFS Why?!? If that's not misappropriation of a distinct cultural term, I don't know what is.
*rant over* 😊
@@amandab4978 they’re OGs. You’re just mad that you aren’t 😂😂
No autotune, no computer-driven effects, just sheer talent.
Exactly!
Timeless. This song was made while I was a child. Just last month, I was praying for my Army officer son as he was preparing to go to Sudan. Nothing, NOTHING has changed.
THIS is what I love about reaction videos. So many people look at the name of the group and immediately take it badly. They look at Ozzy's drug fueled antics and assume the worst. Then you listen to the lyrics and realize just how deep they are. Never judge a book...❤
“Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why don’t they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor”
This song is so incredibly appropriate for today
Indeed💙💛
Definitely agree
F Yeah. TOO appropriate. The "YEAH!" Ozzy yells at the end of the verse you transcribed is one of the most cathartic utterances I've ever f**king heard. Here are some more great anti-war lyrics, even perhaps more appropriate for our dangerous, and likely doomed, world today. From The Call, circa 1983, "When the Walls Came Down": I don't think there are any Russians/And there ain't no Yanks/Just corporate criminals/Playin' with tanks."
It's for all times not for today. It's timeless .
I don't think any song comes even close to the lyrics of war pigs and kashmir of led zeppelin.
And it will be forever. War is not ending soon.
These lyrics are so incredible, considering that they still reflect our day to day life. They know what they were talking about.
From my home town, Birmingham UK, Ozzy and boys were game changers in the world of music. There sound was utterly unique, and thus created a new genre of music. They wrote this in protest of the Vietnam war, and like many others on here have said, it's still hold true today.
Hard to believe this song was released in 1970!!! Still holds up and holds true today.
The guitar riff at the end is incredible. It sounds like the world is about to end.
If you look at our world today , this song has a lot of meaning to we the people *WAKE UP PEOPLE*
This song was ground breaking for its time, watch the first live version of this song ever, you’re looking at the emergence of metal, nobody does it like Sabbath, Bill Ward is an absolute beast on the drums🥁Legends 🤘
Yes, live in Paris 1970, Ozzy's doing improv on the lyrics but the band is brutal, Bill Ward treats his drums like they owe him money! Crushing set of pioneering metal.
@@vicprovost2561 agreed, I love the early rough version of this song, Bill Ward absolutely pounded the piss out of those drums and they captured it beautifully, Ozzy is going ham the entire song just adds to the live experience, I love that video, watched it several times ✌️
The live version from Cal Jam '74 is even better. It should be somewhere here on UA-cam.
@@Northerngirl15 After watching that performance, I always get the feeling that Ozzy invented the hair twirling you see at metal shows.
@@Oxmustube Ozzy was definitly an influencer, he set the bar high for sure
Live in Paris 1970 - this song and the whole show is amazing. Bill Ward goes crazy on the drums. You will love it!! I promise you both. 🙏🏼
Yes! It’s so raw and perfect. 🔥
Yes , its amazing
Bill Ward goes absolutely “Ham” on the drums.
They're not exagerrating. That performance is the shit!
To see Bill Ward attack those drums like they stole his last dime is something to see
This song came on when my grandmother was in the house when I was a teen, and it instantly gave her PTSD hearing the bombing horns as she would call them because she was a teenager living in Germany, during World War II and her hometown was flattened by air raids almost every night for weeks, and she spent almost a week trapped in a basement with a dozen other young kids. But I always love this song and it has so many layers. The message in the song replies, not just governments, end wars, but really any individual that starts conflict and uses others as their ponds to reach their goals. Great reaction 🙂✌
Politics: the preferred career choice of sociopaths.
That sound has always filled me with horror. It is the most terrifying sound I can think of for those who know what it means...
Remembering your gran, nothing like it. Mine heard the first automobile, concluded that it was a gunfight in progress, and hid out, waiting for the end.
My Mom too as a child during the war in Austria. Nazis ,air raids, bombs and death on the streets. Anyone from that time knows that's the sound all of Europe new back then...air raid sirens. I see some people today react to this song and they don't know what that is or what it signifies. Never forget history and it has been left out of schooling today that's for sure!
The heaviest sound ever put down and the words are profound its incredible every time I hear it.
This album has been credited as the first "heavy metal" music. The entire album was a big influence on myself and my 13 year old friends.
ABSOLUTELY!! This was the first album by Black Sabbath that I ever owned😮😁😁😎
I listened to this sucker until the tape wore out because I bought it on cassette!! You remember those??😂😂
A timeless song written during the height of the Vietnam War.
It was really maddening listening to this song while the Iraq War was raging and realizing how nothing had changed, and the lyrics still made perfect sense.
I was going to say the same thing....has times really changed?
They got mad when I played this while deployed
Nope same same same. Nothing changes with the brainwashed masses
Good comment except 1970 was not thr height of the Vietnam War. 1968 was. By 1970 the Nixon was then president and he started reducing the number of US troops in Vietnam. It went from the height in 1968 from almost 600,000 to 1970 it was down to 200,000 and by 1972 it was down to a little over 60,000
The song makes even more sense today, considering Biden’s warmongering in Ukraine.
Us should stay neutral! My family isn’t fighting for Ukraine.
My dad didn't go to Vietnam due to an honorable discharge from the Army (due to a psychotic break from the stress of boot camp) but his older brother was a veteran, and Creedence Clearwater Revival's Fortunate Son was one of my dad's favorite songs (which I know you did about two years ago) but when it comes to Vietnam era protest songs, War Pigs is mine.
One of my favourite songs of all time. Very poignant lyrics that do NOT pull any punches, meanwhile you have Tony Iommi on Guitar and Bill Ward on Drums absolutely killing it! Not to mentio Geezer Butler on Bass is highly underrated and Ozzy's vocals as good as always
agree totally, all 4 of them were simply great at what they did, created a new genre that took everyone by storm. im 69 and they still are my favorite band thank God for music of the late 60s thru the early 80s....
This song came along in the Vietnam era. Very anti government. Remember the lead guitarist has two prosthetic finger tips on his fret hand. Toni has some of the most iconic guitar riffs in metal history!
He lost the tips in a machine shop, right?
War Pigs is Black Sabbath to me.... Not only a killer of a start, but Ozzy has a clarity to his voice that is only matched by the clarity of the message. Add in some insane drumming and guitar riffs..... Perfect song.
Did you know that Tony has losded his finger tips on his last day at work
@@xarisstylianou,...l o s t...! Bro. 😊
Speaking of witches, one of Sabbath's very best songs is about a wizard. Surprisingly, it's called "The Wizard", and has two unusual instruments for the genre.
Love the harmonica on The Wizard!
The Wizards a great track.
MORE COW BELL!
The drumming!!!
Played by non other than Ozzy himself and later sampled by Cypress Hill on 'I Ain't Goin' Out Like That'
This entire album is phenomenal
Strange how music of yesterday are just as meaningful today!
Sabbath is pretty much the originators of that "heavy" sound. Just a great band all around.
The original Heavy Metal masters at their best. Doesn't get any better than this.
Thanks for reacting to this relevant song from 53 years ago. It was the first song I heard by Black Sabbath when I was 14. Been a fan since even got a tattoo of War Pigs. As a side note Black Sabbath originally wanted to name their album " War Pigs" but Warner Brothers refused due to the controversial Vietnam War so they named the album Paranoid instead which is also funny because Paranoid was an after thought because they needed 1 more song to complete the album so Tony Iommi came up with a riff in about 15 minutes which became Paranoid.
This song just blew my mind when I first heard it because it was my first exposure to how politicians and the poor people of the country/world were at odds. The song is really something.
You talk about the "witches at black masses". That is a very good observation. Because the songs, where I lived in the Deep South, were actually banned from being played on the radio. The people of 'the machine' didn't want young children to hear this kind of lyric , the truth.
I owned every Black Sabbath album.
I can't believe this is the first time y'all heard this one. Definitely a big time classic. When heard live it makes every nerve in ones body tingle.
Yep, 8 times with the original band, 2 of 3 times when Dio was in the band (When they went out as Heaven and Hell they only did Dio Sabbath) once with Ian Gillian and once with Glenn Hughes (regret not seeing Tony Martin) this song always gave you goose bumps and it is Iommi who induces them. Best with the original band, gotta love when the sirens come on, man, freaking chills! 🎸
A very popular Black Sabbath song about the military complex and there propensity for war and using the poor as pawns. There have been over 30 artist that have covered this song.
I started learning drums in 1975 after hearing Bill Ward. He was phenomenal. He and Geezer Butler on bass were tight as a section could ever be.
Well done for giving Bill Ward his dues. His drumming is what makes Sabbath, no other band swings the way they do and that's because of Bill
When things change, they actually remain the same ... these lyrics are still true today ....
You guys were SO close... the video of War Pigs that is a MUST SEE is their 1970 live performance. You'll be blown away about watching a young Ozzy, but more excited to see the wild Bill Ward blasting away at the drum kit. I know you've never done a reaction to the same song twice but PLEASE make an exception just this once!
The drums must of owed him money!
I'm not a big Sabbath fan but this song is the bomb. Watch the live version from 1970 sometime It's fantastic and yes the drumming is incredible!
This great track was from Black Sabbath's second album Paranoid which was released 18 September 1970. This is a all killer no filler album. Every track is a great track. This is the first album I bought after a friend played it for me. Blew my mind just like it did for you. You should also check out Iron Man, Fairies Wear Boots, Paranoid, and Planet Caravan (for something completely different). Great reaction Jay and Amber. Welcome to my childhood.
This was so jaw-dropping when it first came out because we never heard any thing so hard and meaningful.
You should check out the live version & see Bill Ward on drums. It's amazing watching him play 🥁
Was just gonna write this 👏🏾👏🏾
First riff I ever learned on electric guitar was War Pigs...The entire "Paranoid" album has this sound!
And this was released in 1970. We are STILL in this same place 53 years later! Lyrics, guitar and drums - SLAM. I was raised on this album (amongst many others) by my siblings. 🤘
Bill Ward is a beast on the drums! I love and collect fairies so of course one of my favorite Sabbath songs is Fairies Wear Boots. LOL! Check it out! ✌️❤️
My favorite Sabbath song. Actually the whole album is fantastic. Saw them in Spokane alongside Aerosmith and Kansas. One the best concert nights ever for me.
This song meant so much to a lot of us. From the time i was 9 till 17, everyday on the news, viet nam kia- wia, you couldnt look foward to 18th birthday because then you get drafted and go to nam. Scary times but sabbath said what we all felt.
One of the greatest concert moments you could ever have is seeing them do this song live. When Ozzy and the crowd alternate with the lyrics it is awesome. Right from the first note people jump out of their seats. Those little high hat taps, as insignificant as they seem, get people ramped for what is coming. Then they hit those two cords and the whole venue is screaming the lyrics. You don’t have to be a Sabbath head to appreciate it, it helps, but you can’t help but feel the energy as you scream the next line back to Ozzy and pound those iconic cords on your air guitar. That is what hard rock is all about.
I’ll never forget it.
Great song, it’s like it was written yesterday, such a powerful song
Sabbath is so damn good! These lyrics are 🔥. You should do “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” the guitar riff is so damn heavy, Jordan you’ll love it.
Its a great album also
@@kirkhall2099 Absolutely!
SBS is Sabbath at their sludgiest, especially the last two verses starting with "Where can you run to? What more can you do?" which are criminally cut out on the single edit version
Exactly the song I would suggest for them next, “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” is pure 🔥🔥🔥
Black Sabbath story - I went and seen them in concert the night before I took my SAT test. My ears were still ringing during the test and I was towards the back of the stadium.
War Pigs was a Vietnam antiwar song. Black Sabbath Paranoid is the best album of all time! Every song on this album is awesome. Do "Paranoid"
I'm pretty sure they've done it already.
@@consciousbeing1188 You are correct! My bad. They did it a year ago. I watched it and forgot.
@@brownie1341 I hear that... Done the same thing myself a couple of times 😅
This is one of my favorites. I love playing this for people who think metal is just noise. Geezer Butler wasn't given enough credit as a lyricist. And Bill Ward is a beast. Interesting that this song was written about the Vietnam war...more than 50 years ago!!🤘😳
You guys GOTTA do the live in France, 1970 version of this. You want to see the drummer let off the chain. Absolutely EPIC performance all around! ❤
Well done! I continue to be amazed on how you both pick up on things hearing these classics for the first time. Recognizing the ridiculous drumming out of the gate is impressive , and noticing the unique arrangements is also very impressive. You have way more classics to do! More of this!
One of the most powerful rock songs ever recorded. Period.
The TRUE Metal pioneers, at their dark BEST. I've been rocking to this for 50 YEARS, and it STILL sounds as fresh as it always has. Welcome aboard you guys...
well said, im 69 and am still amazed listening to them.all great musicians that created a sound never to be duplicated and so ahead of its time,...refreshing to see young people with an open mind thoroughly enjoying their talent and creativity!!!
Symptom of the universe is an absolute must...heaviest Sabbath ever mixed with the most gentle acoustics ala Zep
As a guitar player and a bass player...the drums in this song, the fucking drums. Bill Ward is an absolute beast. Everyone shines in this song but to me, since I play everything other than drums, he fucking stands out and he beats that shit like no other. Bill Ward is amazing
All this cowboy has to say is you two make a great couple not only working together but you're reactions are unmatched 👍
This was 1970, over 50yrs ago
and sounds as relevant today !
Can you imagine 🔥
Man I remember being methed out when I was 16 and spent the whole night learning every guitar part of this song. Sobered up and forgot all of it. Brings back partial memories
It's probably been said several times, but the live version from Paris in 1970 is amazing. Bill Ward, the drummer, is such a beast.
“Fairies Wear Boots” is also a great song, a commentary on UK skinheads. I think you’d like it. Also, Changes, about Ward or Butler’s divorce, is a heart-wrenching ballad. And Planet Caravan is just a vibe you HAVE to check out. If you want more drums and bass, try N.I.B. or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
According to Tony Iommi, Fairies Wear Boots isn't about skinheads; it's just about tripping too much. Ozzy says he doesn't remember what the song is about. LOL.
Good song choices, BTW. Planet Caravan is a vibe most people don't know. I'd add Into The Void.
Singing truth to power is Beautiful. I listened to this new when I was 15yo and have remembered every word ever since.
The live video of this song from 1970 in Paris is a MUST. I can't emphasize that enough.
In 1970 I was 17 years old. When I first ever heard this song . I couldn’t believe that someone was feeling and singing the same way I was feeling and seeing it the same way. It changed my whole life. I started protesting against the war. We had a voice. I worked on lowering the voting age to 18. Started fighting for women’s rights. Here we go again starting over in 2023. Never thought it would happen. I still have a little fight in me.
1970 I turned 15 (Sept). One of my favorite bands. Peace to you
Nobody thought that you people would win and keep going. Now we have people who cannot even define what a woman is, or turn everything into a communist struggle session despite nobody doing anything bad.
Sounds like you have plenty of fight in you Donna! If we don't stand for the good,the bad will gladly run rampant! Not on my watch...Not on yours...🎙🥊💪👊
I think Gen Z is gonna put up one hell of a fight. And I think they are gonna win. I ain't saying shit is gonna get fixed but I think we are gonna see some serious changes.
Christian nationalists already have a chokehold on government due to their long plan of infiltrating from the bottom up. What happened to Separation of Church and State?
Geezer, Tony, Ozzy and Bill crafted a masterpiece. This song was written in 1970 at a time when the U.S. war in Vietnam was being heavily televised. Never had people seen the horrors of war on the news every night. The guys in Sabbath grew up Birmingham England where the destruction of lives and property caused buy WWI and WWII was slowly being rebuilt. "War Pigs" perfectly pierced the veil of the noble war.
My favorite Black Sabbath song. It's got it all. A powerful lyrical message, Tony with another killer riff, Bill Ward's incredible drumming and dancing on that hi hat during the breaks, Geezer just being Geezer. Go to any metal or hard rock concert and if this starts playing on the PA before the show or between acts, it always gets a cheer and everybody knows the words and sings it.
There is a live 1970 version of this song. You can see drummer Bill Ward go even harder. It's stunning
This was from 1970 so it was pretty early in their career, from the album Paranoid and after all these years it still sounds very current to me, the music and the message. This my favorite of theirs.
I was lucky enough to see them twice live in concert 1975 & 2016 with Ozzy on vocals
I saw sabbath in 78, front of stage, Van Halen was the back up band…
@@jackhuffman9313 I saw van halen in 1993 fresno, ca, sammy hagar was singer
Late '70's I was about 10 yrs old. We had a employee milking cows for us and he was playing this song. I stopped dead in my tracks....."What kind of music is THIS?" With a smile he answered. "Acid Rock".
My absolute favorite by Sabbath, so powerful. The video is intense, beautifully put together. Thanx so much, Blessings
Great reaction,guys! I was a Beatles fanatic as a kid,so by 1970,the heavy rock bands were emerging. Going from The Beatles to Black Sabbath at the start of the 70's was like getting hit with a brick in the face! They really were the 'birth of heavy metal'. No band was heavier than these guys. But under all that heaviness,you still had melody,great playing and thoughtful lyrics. Along with Led Zeppelin, Grand Funk Railroad,uriah Heep,and Deep Purple..the soundtrack of my rockin' High Schol days! :-) Enjoy the journey...regards, T
beatles way better
i was born in 73, I went from hard rock to the beatles to new wave.
hard rock is grating to me at this point in my life

THIS is my favorite Sabbath song. And the message (and reality of the song) has only grown more relevant up to today.
This is from 1970's "Paranoid" album. Great tune, great message, great sound... Sabbath at the top of their game!
Great band! Don't forget about the bass player, Geezer Butler!! Check out "Fairies Wear Boots", "Sweet Leaf", "The Wizard" or "Hand of Doom"
I really like their song, "Planet Caravan." It's very chill and unique sounding for their music.
Planet Caravan, Changes, and Fairies Wear Boots (about UK skinheads) are also must-listens!!!
This song could be written today and be spot on to whats happening today!!!!
WOW!!!!! LOL!!!!!!
You guys are so much fun to watch being blown away by the music of my generation! Now imagine being 16 years old, stoned out of your gourd on some blotter acid while at a banger of party (yes,my friends parents were out of town) with this Album (Black Sabbath-Paranoid) blaring!!! The music, the high, and oh the damage!!!!Unforgettable!!! LOL
For a real treat to see young Ozzy and his amazing performance (all of them really) Live 1970 concert
Love the reaction guys. Sabbath has a catalogue of pretty deep and provocative songs and "War Pigs" is definitely one of them. "Children of the Grave", "After Forever", and "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" are a few more I'd put in that category. The one song of theirs I keep mentioning in the comments that I REALLY want you guys to react to though is "Heaven and Hell". Mostly because it's just a phenominal song but also because it's a Dio era song that I'm really curious to see your reaction to. Besides, it has one of the fattest basslines ever. Please guys, you have to do it. ua-cam.com/video/5FRA7UXlGu8/v-deo.html
Children of the grave- Epic. You will not be able to get the intro out of your mind. It's insane. The drum.
In addition, "A National Acrobat", "Killing Yourself to Live", "Looking for Today", and "A Spiral Architect" make 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' a great and thought-provoking album.
I vote for Heaven and Hell also. I would love to see their reaction.
@@peroron2000 Right?? Jordan will lose his mind! Lol.
@@l.thegirl2581 Yes!! That galloping bass intro is absolute 🔥🔥!!!
There's a fine live video of this from Paris in 1970 with slightly different lyrics which is even more energetic and the drummer is phenomenal.
Born in '62 this song has been a solid presence in my top three all-time from the day I first heard it! The absolute clarity of vocals, riffs and message are set perfectly to the melody of this masterpiece!
Sabbath was my favorite band thru out middle school and high school.
Definitely one of my favorite tunes from Black Sabbath. The video in the linked original is fabulous as well, artist/creator deserves equal credit.
I love so many masterpieces by Yes, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Rush, but this masterpiece by Black Sabbath is right up there with the greatest songs of all time. And, sadly, it's still relevant, if not more so, today. ❤✌
So glad you guys are looking past the name of the band. They have a message in all of their songs. Everything back then were hippies with flowers, peace and love. But in reality there was and is a darker side of life, and they let people know this. This album came out in 1970. The producing of it was fantastic!!!! Never judge a book by it's cover!!!!!!
What kills me is when I was a kid listening to black sabbath Adults called me rebellious for listening to this music. I was proud to say yes, I am rebellious against politicians and military leaders.Sending young men who don't have a penny to rub together to fight their wars for them. Talking about vietnam of course. Amongst others.
These lyrics are my favorite of the two! I'm so glad you pulled this, it def still applies today.
The greatest heavy metal band of all time.
I'm so happy you guys pay so much attention to detail, from the lyrics to the instruments. I really appreciate that shit frfr
One of the greatest, most beautiful songs of all time.
They wanted this to be the title track of the 1970 2nd album, but the record company wouldn't agree. They went with the 'filler' song, Paranoid, instead.
The original title of the song was Walpugis(the Witches Sabbath). They record company didn't like that either, and changed it to War Pigs.
That's Bill Ward playing the drums you liked.
Try Children of the Grave ,Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, The Wizard, or N.I.B.
Absolutely, and I’d throw in “Iron Man”
@@martinmosteller5813 They did Iron Man last year.
@@chriso6719 Better memory than mine, man🤪
Influenced me to being anti war in my teens hearing this in the early 70s
I still remember the first time I played this album, listening with headphones. I was never the same again.
Maybe their biggest hit. Go back and listen again and pay attention to the bass. You’ll be shocked. Every part of this song is brilliant.
My first concert I ever went to was Black Sabbath in November 1978, in Corpus Christi at the Bayfront Coliseum, which was renamed the Selena Memorial Coliseum. The opening band was Van Halen touring their first album. Needless to say, it was mind-blowing.
Black Sabbath is my favorite group and thins is my favotite song by them. During Desert Storm, I would listen to this song every morning when we were doing stand to.
