She was saying "sharp", etc., but that to me is just how the song sounds. They wrote it, performed it originally, own it. And they owned it in this performance. This is what it is supposed to sound like. If someone were to sing it less 'sharp' at those points, I'd probably say they should go listen to Ozzy again and do it better next time. That's just my take. But I get it. Different strokes for different folks.

You have never heard a man hit a set of drums with such ferocity and make it sound so damn good before, it makes this song a true masterpiece!

Sabbath has more iconic riffs than any one band should be allowed to have.

Tommy Iommi is the guitarist it's iommi like Eye-oh-me. Not long before they were going into the studio to record their first album he cut the tips of his right hand fingers off on a machine. Because they were so tender he tuned down the guitar so the strings wouldn't hurt as bad, thus creating the heavy metal sound of the tuned down guitars that everyone copied after. He wears thimble like things on his fingers to help.

We are fortunate that there's even documentation of this part of Sabbath career it is so early on. Recording could be better but it was 1970. If you've ever performed in front of a screaming wall of Marshall amplifiers and a live drum set with no partition around it without in your monitors or even playback and Stage wedge monitors you might have a bit more understanding of his difficulties with pitch. The irony here being that as you said he is not to the manor born, none of these guys had music lessons in any formal manner they came up from the ground up were the only other option would have been to work in the factories their own life. It's a very different reality than what musicians have in front of him these days

Ozzy's biography is a good read. He puts on no false airs about himself. He's still around, although in fragile health. Given his lifestyle, his longevity is remarkable.

Then came the titties... Toni Martin.. best singer ever for Black Sabbath... fact is.. Ozzy ISN"T Black Sabbath... Toni Iommi IS

Something else to remember is at this time period *they* were the pioneers of this style... there was no "training" for this other than practicing and "sounding good" to them... this was based a little on jazz riffing and improv... each person was just jamming out and yet supporting each other... and Ozzy was not actually "sharp"... those are the notes on all the versions, including studio... in a way, you almost have to throw off all your expectations and training because part of the whole appeal of Black Sabbath was "regular guys" just jamming out. The strange tuning and choice of notes was a bit deliberate.

It's not very distinctive unless you're listening attentively to it, but Geezer Butler does a fiery performance in this song... Even though they only show his hands plucking on those bass strings for a second or two, you can tell he's jamming like the best of the best... There's even a moment when Bill (drummer) looks away from the camera, to his right, and fixes his sight briefly on Geezer to, in a way, synchronize the rhythm section with him in that particular moment...These two were always one of my favorite rhythm sections ever.. 👍

Maggie Reneé listening to Black Sabbath? Really? I'm impressed! I saw Black Sabbath live in 1972 in Frankfurt Germany and a recorded video just doesn't do the experience justice.

He's been singing that way for over 50 years and we love it..

Black Sabbath played and created music as if they were one person, this was pretty much them through the entirety of their long illustrious, never to matched career.

Ozzy struggled with pitch throughout the years. Much like Miley Cyrus, the pitchiness gets blended into his style and as a result is overlooked. Back in the day he was typically sharp much of the time, though in later years he would fall short of the pitch in the shows when his health was at a low as well. You nailed it, the musicianship holds up as the rhythm section is one of the very best, and Iommi is a legend’s legend of riff construction. This still resonates as one of the greatest anti-war rock anthems! Nice reaction. 👍🏻

Geezer Butler is a fantastic bass player who has often been overlooked.

i have tickets to yesterday's concert in katy, texas. obviously cancelled, poor me. guessing the guys have bigger problems lately.

I applaud your choice of this song. Ozzy’s “sharpness” is partly due to the fact that the music is so loud that Oz had to sing and shout from the gut and soul. I know this from having been right at edge of the stage. It’s a great part of the musical style that Sabbath perfectly defined - raw power at absolute volume. They are the best heavy rock / metal band I ever saw or heard. Their massive sound was never fully captured on tape, film, or digital media. It was power created by God himself.

I saw this band back in the day. They worked their tails off. They did not pause between songs. Last note straight in to the next note. Yes my dear that is Ozzy. The best comment I have heard about John was he can not string a sentence together. Yet when he sings he does not miss a single word. Maybe one party too many. Who knows???? The concert was kick butt. So much energy... Ozzy moved around a lot until it was time to sing. Geezer jumped around so much I do not know how he even played. The drummer did not stop for the entire show. Tony the guitar player is awesome. He blew his finger tips off of his right hand as a child with fire crackers. He stood perfectly still for his solos. And played his heart out.

Great reaction Maggie! You're watching Heavy Metal being born! Those of us around at this time remember how life changing this was. Interesting fact, guitarist Tony Iommi, who is left handed, lost the tips of his middle and ring fingers of his right hand in an industrial accident at 17. Wanting to keep playing, he made finger tips out of a melted soap bottle and wrapped them in leather. As this is his fretting hand it changed the way he played. This may have contributed to the creation of the metal guitar chords.

That's nothing but raw talent 💯🔥🤘

I remember this song on KISW, the introduction is definitely long; but I can jam out to this. It's actually true what he is saying; Politicians do start war. This is awesome!!!

What’s different about Sabbath , from other metal acts and most rock acts, is they had an intelligent lyricist in bassist Terry “Geezer “ Butler

The early magic of Bill Ward (drums), Geezer Butler(bassist, lyricist), Tony Iommi(guitar) and Ozzy Osborn (belting vocals and showmanship). From working in factory to inventing a stage genre - AKA Black Sabbath!

The music video for this is awesome.

They got so good at playing instruments because the alternative was working in a sheet metal factory pressing speaker brackets for Ford cars.

(He fashioned a new finger tip for himself out of a thimble as I recall)

To be fair, Ozzy was stoned out of his mind when he gave this performance lol

The fact that this is live from over fifty years ago is insane. She probably is not taking into account that they were all stoned out of their minds while playing.😅

I agree with this. I may even go further and say best rock song of all time, personally. I'd put it ahead of Stairway or Bohemian Rhapsody, for example. Hotel California is great, too, but if I had to choose one song from the genre that stands out as impressive in all aspects -- lyrics, singing, musicianship, etc. -- I can't think of another that brings it all together better than this one. Every time I hear it, I become more confident of this take. Then again, there are probably days I'd pick a different song. Ha. It may depend on what's fresh in my mind.

This is one of the roots of heavy metal.

I have been listening to Sabbath since 1974 and still do now I play drums in a cover band because of Black Sabbath

The final production obviously is a lot more clearer and the Video produced later bring clarity to the meaning of the song! The song is over 50 yrs old!

He beat those drums like they owed him money.

The point of Metal is to assault u with dissonance. Lyrics like War Pigs r real time reactions to Vietnam. The mood x Anger r the highlight. Revolution.

I'm glad you like the guitarist not bad for missing 2 finger tips and still sounds good from a factory accident

Tommi Iommi, the guitarist, basically started what became the foundation of heavy metal guitar technique. He is further remarkable in that he has artificial fingertips on his right hand ( the hand that works the fretboard) due to an accident as a teenager. The fact that he can play at all is a tribute to his determination, skill and creativity.

Maggie converted from Opera to ROCK girl, Put your seatbelt on this will be a wild ride. Bill Ward the drummer acts like those drums owe him money...

To the point that you wondered if they were pumped up OR assisted by some chemicals??..... ALL I know for sure is it was one of the concerts I ever went to... You are the expert. I think he is sharp on purpose.... At around 10:40 something there is a shot of Tony's fingertips... The man is/was one hell of a good guitarist... May I suggest you find and watch their NIB video.... The bass is strong in that video. Also, take your headphones off & head bang a little.. You have the hair for it..... ENJOY....
