Crazy Train was Ozzy, not Sabbath. Sabbath was where Ozzy got his start and thanks to Sharon his wife managed to survive long enough to become Ozzy. The sixties and the early seventies were the golden years of rock and it evolution. There was an explosion of bands from England who led the way because most of the musicians came from the slums of London, Liverpool, Birmingham to name a few, and music was one of the few ways out. It was also one of the ways that they could express what they and others thought and their opinions of those who bowed to the status quo.

It's amazing going back and listening to Black Sabbath and hearing things that they did in the 70s reappear in stuff released even this year. They were so far ahead of their time it's almost unbelievable. And it's not just one sub-genre that they influenced. It's everything.

From my hometown in the UK, Birmingham.

The guitarist lost his finger tips while working, and thought he'd never play again, but after knocking up some leather tips to put onto his fingers he was able to carry on. Absolute legends.

Agreed. Although it's non-specific and could be applied to any conflict, the progression from sirens (the Blitz) to Generals and Politicians (Axis V. Allies) to Judgement Day (Allied Victory & Nuremberg) is striking. That it was released at a time when we were thoroughly sick about Vietnam, certainly had an impact and sent a message that we could relate to.

Wow this was definitely the best rection to this song. You guys went so deep into the lyrics it was truly interesting to listen to. You made this song sound way deeper than i ever thought

Tony Iommi said that this song is about war in general. Not necessarily the Vietnam War.

Crazy Train is from the Ozzy Osbourne solo career....Black Sabbath were formed in 1968 and had heavy blues roots, with a very special sound, far ahead of their time...every song from the first 4 albums (not only Paranoid album) is something special...you can realize that they changed the sound of hard rock as it was until then, and of course the guitarist (Tony Iommi) invented heavy metal with this dark, heavy sound. Keep up the good work Vin and Sori!

One word(s) "MasterPiece" "Chills" That reaction when Sori realized it was from 1970 says it all about Black Sabbath!

The song is talking about how God will take care of the people that started the wars "the war pigs" in the end.

Love watching you two figuring out the groove. Authentic first reaction. 🎉

So very happy you have found the legends, Black Sabbath. My love for Tool extends back to Sabbath, Floyd, and Zeppelin. But also The Rolling Stones as well. I think you will find all of them in time. The mid 60s to mid 70s are so extremely important a time in music. As Christian's it's highly important to separate "satanic music" with legit fear within the context of the times these songs were written, and I appreciate your ability to do so. The height of the Vietnam War. Those horns at the beginning of the song were air raid sirens, something young Brits born in the late 1940s and especially their parents were all too familiar with after the Blitz of World War II. Listen to Floyd's Good Bye Blue Sky for reference. It never fails to bring a tear to my eye when I hear the child's voice at the beginning. But that's for your future listen to The Wall. That said, please understand something about "us leftists". We care a lot about what goes on in the world, and to the people on it. When Kerry made that statement, a decorated war veteran from Vietnam himself, Purple Heart, Bronze Star, he meant that in the context of "please don't let yourself get sent into a war that is based on a lie." What he actually said was poorly worded, yes. But said from an actual veteran who didn't get deferred by his rich father. Someone with experience. That's all I'll say about that. Thank you again for a really good review.

Very detailed stuff on all the vids i have seen so far. Nicely done...keep up the reactions as i am a big fan. 👌☝️💪

Great reaction!! One of the best I've watched for this song. Two things...the feeling you got on the outro is something the old blues guys used to call "making the guitar cry". Iommi simply does it in a more powerful, metal style on War Pigs. And I agree, it's mesmerizing. So emotional. But think about when it was written, 1970. The war in Vietnam. So it's a song about war and death and politics. So the band drove home the ending with sorrow. Beautiful. Secondly, Black Sabbath created the modern genre of heavy metal regardless of what anyone might say. Zeppelin was there too for sure. Blue Cheer. But with Sabbath, it was intentional. Hard. Heavy. Scary. I know it scared the shit out of my parents. And what was playing on the radio at that time? The Carpenters. Now there's a contrast! (not that I don't like the Carpenters, I do).

I am not a huge Foo fan but Sonic Highways is a great series as well though it covers all genres of rock. They go to different cities to record a new song and each episode chronicles rock history in each city. Plus you get Dave Grohl interviewing all kinds of legends. Good stuff. A Headbanger's Journey is very good and I recommend it as well although it isn't perfect. I feel like Sam is a little biased here and there and he comes across as an extremely nerdy, cynical, snob type but that is just me. He does know his stuff and it is likely the most informative series/show on metal out there. I'd also recommend Get Thrashed. It is all about the history of Thrash Metal. You will learn a lot and be busy for a while lol

Uhhh, Cream had broken up by the time the Beatles recorded Helter Skelter, and that song wasn’t nearly as heavy as Cream’s sound on Disraeli Gears or Wheels of Fire. The Jeff Beck Group v1.0 also predated Helter Skelter (they began releasing singles in ‘67 and in the summer of ‘68 they released the LP Truth), and they were Zeppelin before Zeppelin. Helter Skelter was Paul trying to plumb the harder edged sound of the Yardbirds while merging it with his more pop sensibilities. Good song, metal it ain’t.

Peter Thorsby - The words "heavy metal" were first used in Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild" from 1968, written by Mars Bonfire. The reference is more likely than not, to the roar of a motorcycle engine. It's kind of strange though, that soon thereafter, Black Sabbath exploded on the scene & the true heavy metal thunder was unleashed. Damn near prophetic. :)

That is why Black Sabbath is the best so iconic and every band who followed has been influenced by them in some way the Godfathers of Metal 🤘🤘🤘

your so right about the part in this song and the part in fade to Black being similar.. they are practically the same riff.

This is one of the best songs ever written. Thanks for the review.

you guys earned a new subs here! much love from the Philippines!! keep it up and rock on!

I first got this album in 1971 and after their first album it seemed a bit "lighter" than their eponymous first album. They have stayed part of my play list ever since then. Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Terry "Geezer" Butler and Ozzy Osbourne were the best heavy metal band then and now. Great reaction and analysis 😎

Great!!! you should check out the live version from Paris 1970. Bill Ward just destroys his drum kit. ACTUALLY.... Crazy Train is from Ozzy's solo career...

Excellent thoughts and insight in your reactions! Thank you!

That part at 13:26 that you are saying you love has always given me a majestic feeling. Kinda like a Majestic march. With the theme of the song being about war mongers having to pay for the blood on their hands, I imagine the poor and those used by the war mongers returning triumphantly. As if it's their victory march through the streets to celebrate an end to war and death.

Hooray! One of my favourite Black Sabbath songs! Good choice. Next listen to Black Sabbath(song) from their first album Black Sabbath.

Tbh I have hard time choosing best songs from the first 3 albums. The truth is they are all pure gold.

Now it's Time for some Motörhead - Love me like a reptile

love you both !!!...love your vid !!

Love you guys!!!

React to Black Sabbath when Dio was on vocals too... Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell, Children of the sea

Some of the best Drumming in the whole wide world! JS Peace

Instantly hooked is what this song does to listeners ! Pure truth

Given all the metal you've enjoyed since this video, it's hilarious to rewatch this!

Actually

Welcome to the Black Sabbath universe! Nice 2nd Infantry Division shirt.

Yes, this is that old. Saw them play on October 26th 1970 in the early afternoon, followed by an Emerson Lake and Palmer gig at the same venue the same evening 8-)

Very good points made, great dissection guys! All look much truth to what you say!

Crazy train is not Sabbath, its ozzy. -Zak Wyld- Randy Rhodes does not equal Toni Iomi, both great though.

Yep. I personally think Randy was better, but who's to compare the legends? Randy needed more time though unfortunately.

I am 64 years old, and so was a teenager when all of this music was around. I have watched lots of reaction vids from various younger people dealing with bands of this era and judging from the astonishment from nearly every one, I would suggest tracking down an older person who took lots of drugs in the '70s and check out their album collections; you will be in for such an education and treat. Keep doing what you're doing.

The thing I love about Sabbath is their songs are stories. Listen to this, then Electric Funeral, then Into the Void. It is a play in 3 Acts.
