The video is completely fan produced. Don’t look for meaning there. It’s very high on production value but it’s decades late to the party. The song is far simpler than that but still awesome. And yes... Tony Iommi. A straight up God of Guitar. But don’t discount the rest of the band. Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, and Ozzy who had to compete against a stack of gained up Laney amps every night.

Great group I remember in 1970 was 4.im 53 now still love.my grandad was from England.

This is an anti-war song which came out during the Vietnam war. The guitarist name is Tony Iommi considered by most to be the founder of heavy metal guitar riffs. Black Sabbath were trailblazers and considered the first heavy metal group. The lyrics of this song are hard-hitting and still ring true today. This is a Timeless classic

Hard to believe this song is nearly 50 yrs. old! The message still holds up in present day. The video is cool and all, but yes, the lyrics and song are the real things that you need to focus on. Pioneers of everything metal that you hear now and since. Black Sabbath laid the groundwork. Great reaction, once again!! System of a Down Toxicity album review!?!? 🙏🏼

The guitarist's name is Tony Iommi, who lost some fingertips in an accident at a industrial facility. That didn't stop him from becoming an iconic guitarist.

"War Pigs" was written during the Vietnam War, and the Cold War. The song had meaning to young Americans, because the draft was still in place, and wealthy and powerful families could find ways to keep their adult children from being drafted into the US Armed Forces, while poor people had to be drafted, then fight and die in the war. During the Cold War, there were a lot of "proxy wars" all over the planet at that time, often taking place for control of oil fields, and precious metals mining interests. That is what Black Sabbath was angry about in this song.

Please ignore that video it was just some stock footage and has nothing to do with Black Sabbath.

It happens a lot with powerful classics like this. Hollywood does it all the time, and often to much worse effect.

Not true

The original lineup of Black Sabbath, heard here is Tony Iommi on guitar, Geezer Butler on bass, Bill Ward on drums and OZZY Osbourne on vocals. Clasic song that unfortunately remains timely almost 50 years later. Mankind will never learn.

Before the actual horror show of " Meet the Osbournes" there was once a man called Ozzie Osbourne....and he led a band called Black Sabbath.. I loved the reactions of these peeps...in every way...great video.

I like this reaction it actually looks like they never heard this song before

Guitarist is Tony Iommi. Founding member and ultimate riff-writer. Had industrial accident, lost two fingertips. Painfully fashioned new way to play and string his guitar. OG of heavy metal music.

Tony Iommi is the guitarist. Without him and his putting together this band of iconic musicians into one amalgamation by his own hand, I don't think we would know the half of it.

Lets not forget how bad ass Billy Ward is on drums here. Truely one of the all time greats.

Tony Iommi He is the sound of Rock n Roll. He had an accident when he was working and his tips of his fingers were cut off. He didnt let that stop him from playing the guitar..he used metal thimbles on his tips of his fingers and CREATED the distorted heavy sound...the rest is history.

Only three words:Timeless, Epic and 🔥🔥🔥

Tony iomi is the guitar player. Ozzy Osborne is the singer. Great song! Black Sabath were pioneers of Metal. Good choice.

I remember Black Sabbath in 1970 when I was 4.My. brother Barry use to play them back then .He passed away July 16.2019 miss him.He wad63.

The guitarist is Tony Iommi. He cut off the tips of his fingers when he was 17. And he became the father of heavy metal (riffs). Amazing. I saw him live. Jawdrop.

One of the greatest rock albums of all time.

One of my most favorite songs of all time.

Their best album spanning career is Sold our souls for rock and roll. This song is from 1969.way ahead of their time.

The song came out in 1970 and the Vietnam War had become increasingly unpopular at that time. The band were saying that poor folks are sent to war by rich politicians who don't feel much personal loss for all the deaths they are actually responsible for. The guitarist, Tony Iommi, lost the tips of two fingers at a sheet metal factory when he was 17 but didn't give up his dream of becoming a musician. Five years later this song came out, making him a world-wide legend.

Bill Ward on the drums is a beast.

One of the most powerful anti-war songs ever written.. and the drums .. and the riffs. It's not to hard to understand .. listen to it again a few times. War pigs have the power.. and still do today

The beginning of metal!

I first listened to this in 1977 when i was 8 years old......still listen to it at age 49!!!! 😃😃😃😃

This is how we expressed our dislike of war. Very powerful and still rings true today

War Pigs,It is so appropriate to what is happening today,Geezer Butlers prophetic words,An absolute classic that is oddly,timeless

The symbolism of the girl on the steps is "she is dead but she is free" The politicians start the wars ,and then run to the hills

Oh great! Another reaction video,i see people enjoying Black Sabbath,easy like ,keep enjoying,was headbanging with you

great reaction. the words that I noticed in the video were 'work' ,'terror' and at the end 'freedom'. 50 years later and nothing has changed.

Raw and flawless equals perfection.

Basically Tony Iommy lead guitarrist and only guitar player in Bkack Sabbath, is the man who created the sound of heavy metal in the end of 60s. This song is from the first ever heavy metal album in 1970 (my birth year) and the lyrics was written in the worst moment of Viet-Nam war, that point is relevant for the lyrics. Greetings from Medellín-Colombia.

When Toni Iommi worked in a factory before the band he accidentally cut off the tips of his fingers in a press , so he melted plastic on the ends of his fingers. That's what gives his playing that distinct sound, he still does it.

@ Step n Jay Lee, yes, Black Sabbath basically invented heavy metal. Here's an interesting fact; it was released on September 18th, 1970. The same day Jimmy Hendrix died. Pretty crazy. Have you reacted to anything from Jimmy Hendrix? There are no words to even describe him. Stevie Ray Vaughn covered a few of his songs. Hes another on an insane level. Very bluesy. So much soul for a white man that its mesmerizing lol. Its hypnotic watching him play.

the guitar player was Tony Iommi, recorded in 1970. several years before this recording Tony lost the tips of 2 of his fingers on his fret hand, on the neck. He crafted some fake tips and has played for over 50 years that way. the singer was Ozzy Osbourne.

Something about that "Raw" late 60s early 70s sound that has so much power every time. "Just like witches at black masses". Jammin Hard!

Ozzy’s vocals in this blow me away.

I almost choked on my food when I woke up and seen u uploaded this thank you so much gr8 reaction and lead singer is Ozzy Osbourne guitarist is Tony Iommi bassist is Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward

Tony Iommi (Guitarist) has a prosthetic finger and back when they did this song it was one he made himself. He is already amazing, but that just raises the bar.

I'm watching this one....waiting for your face on the first break. And there it is. It hits almost every person that ever heard it. It's a sad, sad song, because it's true and every person that hears it, feels it. Even if the music isn't for them. Powerful people, and they got us all. Wrapped up. Locked in. Cradle to the grave. The powerful people use us to fight their wars.

Guitarist- Tony Iommi, Drumer- Bill Ward, Bass - Geezer Butler, And Lazy Osbourne. These men brought the meaning of early Rock. Masters of The Universe.

Group is black sabbath. Guitar player tony iommie. Singer ozzie osborne. Song is anti-war. Back in 1970s it was anti-nuclear war. Girl in video means...you cant kill freedom.

Great song, a Black Sabbath absolute classic.

Toni Iommi. Black Sabbath. John "Ozzy" Osbourne singing. Geezer Butler on bass. Bill Ward on drums.

This song was originally done by the English band Back Sabbath. It was a protest song against the Vietnam war.

The album from whence this song derives was supposed to be called "War Pigs" but due to this songs lyrics the record company were told to change it to "Paranoid" despite the cover being printed with the actual war pig on the cover. It was released to soon after the Vietnam war. It's about how politicians send us to war and use us as pawns whilst they remain safe and get rich doing just that.

The legend guitarist Tony Iommi.. Founding father of metal music.

I just want to throw this out there... You 2 seem like fun, genuine people :)

Tony Iommi is bad ass. Loved all the changes in their music!

Hi guys, this song was written about the Vietnam War, released in 1970, how the politicians sent poor men to war to fight an unjust war. It also speaks of the protests that went on during that time, and the unnecessary deaths that happened during that war. A lot of songs from 1968 to 1972 were about the Vietnam War, and what was happening in the world at that time.

Black Sabbath in their day was a very controversial band. They were called all sorts of things from Satanists to anarchists but in the end, 50 years later people are still being moved by lyrics that are as relevant today as they were then. Isn't' music a wonderful thing, a little bit of someone soul for the rest of us to share. Thank you Ozzy and all the other pioneers that said F' it, this is good!

I frigging love Bill Ward's drumming on this song. He beat his drums like they'd stolen money from him or something to War Pigs especially.

This is Ozzy Osbourne with original Black Sabbath in 1968!..Amazing!

Toni Iommi and he lost the tips of his middle and ring fingers in a work accident at a sheet metal factory but that didn’t stop him from being named one the greatest guitarists of all time

Bill Wards drumming on this track is funking amazing

Tony Iommi ,an outstanding left handed guitarist.The film is a reminder of the British author's classic novel 1984. A story of war and oppression,worth reaching.Greetings from Amsterdam.🇳🇱🥁🖐️ps.the author is George Orwell.

Singer is Ozzy Osboune ,Guitarist Toni Iommi , bassist Geezer Butler , Drummer Bill Ward they are all legends as the band they have so many great songs. They are one of the innovators of metal . Great reaction you really should do more Black Sabbath.

This song was made for, and came out during the Vietnam War. Tensions were very high, here at home in the States but, also every where else. We had riots all over the States, protesters killed in Berkley Univ. We had already lost over 1/4 of a million Black and White Men Fighting for a war we had no business being involved in. Ozzy wanted to express his view of the war.

This is one of the very few bands that need to be seen. Those guys are Artists, legends, and trend setters. Look up the Band, you will be glad you did.

OZZY RULES 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

The song was inspired by the Vietnam War. Geezer Butler recalled to Mojo in 2017: "Britain was on the verge of being brought into it, there was protests in the street, all kinds of anti -Vietnam things going on. War is the real Satanism. Politicians are the real Satanists. That's what I was trying to say." Geezer Butler, bass player and lyric songwriter for black sabbath

Love these reaction vids. Love your passion. Music is a great unifier. It's nice to see you giving some attention to a song with such a powerful message. (U got me subbed)

Tony Iommi was a sheet metal worker and he lost the tips of 3 of his fingers in a work accident. He thought his guitar playing days were over until someone gave him an old record of Django Reinhardt (1920's to 1950s Jazz Guitarist) who lost 2 fingers in a fire. Tony had someone make him prosthetic fingertips and they are part of the reason his style evolved the way it did. Bill Ward the drummer grew up in a household with a lot of Big Band Swing records and describes his style of drumming as being heavily influenced by big band swing drummers. Ozzy got the gig with the band because he had his own PA They started out as the Polka Tulk Blues Band, then changed their name to Earth but on finding out some band already had that name was looking for a name. A cinema across the road from where they rehearsed had a Spaghetti Horror film starring Boris Karloff called Black Sabbath and the rest is, as they say, history.

Toni Iommi lead guitarist, a master, can make it sound like two guitars. Geezer Butler excellent bass guitarist was also the writer of this song, Bill Ward very good drummer one of my favorites, and ozzy osborne singer

I like how you give instant personal view of the song. You my friends just earned a sub.

the guitarist actually lost his fingertips in a metal working accident shortly before they had a gig where some music industry ppl would be and he took, i believe it was bottle caps and formed them to fit his damaged fingertips to help with their sensitivity and he tuned down his guitar so the strings weren't so tight. It lead to their sound, that many say, is the birth of heavy metal. I grew up in the PMRC era and i remember how everyone wanted to label them as devil worshipers and would quote lines like "and satan laughing spreads his wings" but they wouldnt read out the rest of the lyrics. It gives me hope that adults now can objectively listen to songs like these and actually get the point. Back in the day the adults were still drinking the american apple pie cool aid and i guess they couldnt see the truth because it would crumble the foundations of their lives.

Black Sabbath: Nationality: British from Birmingham Voice: Ozzy Osbourne Guitar: Tony Iommi Bass Guitar: Geezer Butler Drums: Bill Ward In 1970 as this song came out they looked like this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/YqWV0KhmaZTHetI.html That song "Paranoid" is also a classic and the LP´s title-song of that album release where you also find the song "War-Pigs" which was a song against war in the time where the Vietnam war was still going on. That video is just an abstract interpretation made decades later.
