"Hand of Doom" from the same album is another really bouncy and funky song they do, but weirdly it has some of the most powerful lyrics I've heard in a song. In simple its about Vietnam veterans returning to the US and falling into PTSD and drug abuse. It's honestly one of the most impressive song's I've ever heard, with lots of unique ideas and complete switch-ups during the song, while also sounding amazing. if you do chose to listen to it, I would pay close attention to the lyrics and meaning, its also got one of Ozzies best vocal performances imo with him going from almost screaming to whispering at times... really great reaction, you guys make a great trio!

There are others just as potent, but many of those are misinterpreted (Fortunate son for example). This one is VERY clear.

The sirens on the track were the ones that sounded in the UK during WW2, which the band members were born in the years right after, so you can imagine how that echoed throughout their youth.

Q: What was invented in the Birmingham, England in late 1960’s. A: A Music genre called Heavy Metal.

Tate is a gret addition, you should have him on for some reactions, he gives off a great vibe and I feel like you give more repect to the song with him around, you gave it a better chance 😁

The album this song is from, Paranoid, was released on the exact date of Hendrix's death, from memory.

This just shows how big American blues was in the UK in the 50's, 60's and 70's. If more blues artists from that era knew that, they could have been stars while they where alive.

The drummer before sabbath was a jazz drummer before he played with them and they were all doing jazz gigs and bluesy stuff before they joined together

Facts.

Bill Ward is the TRUTH!!!!!! He’s a jazz, blues, rock drumming monster. I’m digging Tate’s deep Barry White baritone Check out “Hand of Doom”

Bill Ward is something to behold during War Pigs Live in Paris 1970. Absolutely slays his kit!!

Black Sabbath, who are named after a Boris Karloff horror movie, are an amazing presence as a live band. For proof, check out their performance of War Pigs live in Paris, France in 1970. Afterwards, you will wonder why Drummer Bill Ward doesn't get arrested for assault after he pounds his drum kit. Luckily I saw them live, about 30 years later, and at that time, nothing had changed. He is the most physical drummer I ever saw play live. Didn't see John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, but I've seen film. It's close. Seen many other greats but Bill was the most most.

Sabbath have a few great "groove" songs. The older ones that come to mind are "Fairies Wear Boots", "The Wizard", and "NIB." That said, there were some groovy stuff on a few tunes of their 2013 reunion album "13." I think you'd like "Loner", "Live Forever", & "Damaged Soul" from that album.

You should give Back Sabbath - War Pigs - LIVE Paris 1970 a watch, amazing performance. Also to watch Bill Ward destroy his drum kit. Also if you want to feel some Sabbath funk listen to Black Sabbath - Supernaut or the Wizard.

There is such a strong connection between punk/hard rock/60s folk music and rap--social consciousness, a will for change, and righteous anger for the way things are... Peace

Sabbath has a lot of funky grooves. They came up in the UK where Soul and R & B were adored as much as the Blues. Sabbath is one of the most important rock bands of all time. Their influence is still being felt. The first six albums they released are indispensable in any conservation about 70’s Rock. Full stop.

Mr Tate is one classy guy with great taste in music. Cheers..

04:20 this face tate is making is that kind of smiling that thinks "yeah you're fucking enjoying it huh? You little bastards"

ty my alltime fav band

My current drummer and Bassists were in a metal/sludgey/proggy band called Thread. They used to not write songs , but sets. Their sets would last 30-60 minutes. No breaks, all the way through. Each set had themes which are almost like songs but they all flowed into each other. They were fucking great. Bristol metal scene 99-09 kinda times, Bristol had some great bands then, that most of the world never heard, that were doing their own thing, sorry peeps that was your loss if you missed it

War Pigs, one of the greatest songs ever

View the "War Pigs" version "Live in Paris" from 1970. Astounding raw sound. Drums are fantastic.

Gotta do Snowblind by them as well!! So HARD and groovy

Symptom of the Universe by Black Sabbath in my opinion exemplifies everything they do so well as a band. From the heavy to the slower stuff, a driving groove and a great vocal. The closing section of the song takes on an interesting turn. Whether you make it into a video or not, give it a listen lads.

I'd bet the song by Hendrix he's referring to @14:10 is Voodoo Chile

The message tough its one of the most powerrfull anti war album on earth ... Musicly it was a pioneer too . Nice reaction :) When you have time check for rainbow - stargazer too ;)

Black Sabbath - “The Wizard” would be great next or Iron Maiden - “The Trooper.” Love the reactions and the way you dive into the music.

Shout out to Tate for the great song choice and the awesome taste in bourbon, he's got some nice bottles back behind him. On the subject of long songs, you should check out NOFX's "The Decline" - the 18 minute long punk masterpiece.

This song is widely considered the most powerful ANTI WAR song. Great lyrics. Drummer is killer🔥🔥🔥You should watch the VIDEO for this 50 years old masterpiece.

Live from Paris 1970 War Pigs, not that computer animated thing.

Now remember that Tony Iommi (lead guitarist) doesn't have the ends of two of his fingers, so his left hand isn't even playing with full capacity =)

The bass line really makes it. Tate nailed it with the funk-rock combo; I never really caught that during the verses, but it is totally true.

As someone who's been watching your videos for a month now and getting a feel for the fanbase, if you really want the viewers to come running I promise you these are some of the songs that people are dying to hear reviewed: 1. Tool - The Grudge 2. Tool - Rosetta Stoned 3. Tool - Jambi 4. Tool - H. 5. Tool - Cold and Ugly (For the oldschool fans) 6. A Perfect Circle - The Outsider 7. A Perfect Circle - Orestes 8. Opeth - Ghost of Perdition 9. Opeth - The Grand Conjuration 10. Alice in Chains - Dam That River 11. Alice in Chains - Them Bones 12. Slipknot - People = Shit 13. Slipknot - Eyeless 14. Slipknot - Spit It Out 15. Machine Head - Davidian 16. Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots 17. Sepultura - Refuse Resist 18. Sepultura - Ratamahatta A lot of the songs from these bands that you've been recommended so far, are great songs, after a few listens.. but don't really capture the "meat" of the band and what they're about. (Alice in Chains - Grind, Tool - Invincible, Opeth - To Bid You Farewell, ect,) All great songs for after you've already bought in to what they're about but, not necessarily great for a first/second time listener, if that makes sense? Anyways, not trying to tell you how to run your channel, just noticed that a huge chunk of your fanbase are people who profoundly love the great bands of the late 90s/early 2000s and am just trying to help out. Cheers!

wow, I forgot how good this song is. great reaction video as always

I used to listen to this song as a kid... but not LISTEN. If that makes sense. And now that I'm quite a bit older... I started understanding the lyrics. And man. There is some hard hitting lyrics.

Ok. I've got a collection of comic book art, I've got an eclectic booze collection.....but what I DON'T have is a wall of kick-ass guitars! Love that red hollow body and that sunburst Gibson(?). I think, and I could be wrong, this song was released either on the day of or the week of Jimi's death. So....behold! This was the birth of the Heavy Metal genre. Loved hearing you guys discecting this one. Give "Neon Knights" and "Heaven And Hell" a listen. Same musicians, different singer. "Heaven And Hell" is fantastic (your ears will thank you) and "Neon Kights" was Tony Iommi's favorite guitar track to play....according to him. Great vid, guys. Liked and sub'd for more!

You’ve gotta do ‘Hand of Doom’ next!!! The name makes it sound like it’s gonna be really heavy but it’s one of if not their funkiest/grooviest song, the bass is phat as fuck! Keep up the sabbath reactions! 🔥

The Year after Jimi died, this album took off. These guys are the fabric or metal and based in blues/ Rock. So the era is soaked into this music. You hear parallels in the tactics used today and style riffs being used as well. You heard Planet Caravan & War Pigs. I liked NIB ... such a witch hunt Sabbath song Slow and grinding with anxiety

1. Always liked this song. 2. Tate looks exactly like what I imagine JB will look like after 5 more years of doing Primus Reaction videos. 3. @JB - You should bet/challenge Charles to listen to an entire Black Sabath album three times. 4.

Excaluber23 🤣🤣🤣 you always have the best commitments

The guitarist, Toni iomi, has home made prosthetic fingers on the fret board hand because he chopped them off working in steel factory, which makes his style slightly 'simplified'. But he nailed the metal techniques and did them first. The twidly guitar solo style and crunchy chugging guitar. You're listening to it's conception.

Tate... you're one cool dude as a result of this suggestion and your explained turnabout from Ozzy to Black Sabbath. Enjoyed this one.

My favorite Black Sabbath song is Planet Caravan because it has a slow, trippy, softer vibe. They can drive their music through your eardrums but this song takes you on a slow moonlight caravan.

You guys should really go for Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain Live In L.A. 2008. Believe me. it's the opposite of what both of you like but for that reason i know that you guys would like

The guitar player Tony Iomi is widely regarded as the riff master. Also, he didn’t have most of his finger tips. He played with prosthetics. There aren’t many riffs in rock and metal that Black Sabbath didn’t create or influence almost every band that came after.

One of the greatest songs ever written ....period!!!

Beard of wisdom

You guys should react to Pink Floyd echoes part 1&2 live in Pompeii

I remember hearing an interview with Elvin Jones, who was John Coltrane's drummer, who said they played a matinee concert that was 3 hours with no breaks or pauses. So, one song, 3 hrs.

Black kids enjoying Sabbath warms my heart 🤘

You can never hear that song too many times. It's a great experience to have your brain go through when you think about the words and how it pounds it in your soul.

In both drink selections & music Mr Tate has class. Cheers brother.

Do NIB from Black Sabbath

Heavy Metal , has alot of bounce and groove .

This Patreon request is the absolute best. And a very fine looking gentlemen as well. 😉

I wish that I could see videotape of my face in '70 when I first heard it.

Fairies wear boots will blow your mind. when they say fairies they’re referring to the violent skins that attack them after the show way back in the day so they wrote this song about them. It is an amazing song

Mum and Dad were big fans, musicians too so I grew up with Sabbath in the time of Spice Girls lol... Greatest Band on the planet! Ozzy gave me the devil horns and spat on my shirt after I crowd surfed, yeh I still got it lol. Gig of my life! And so so proud at my age that I've seen them x Really should have been your generation though, I'd have fit right in lol

Great to see this great music being shared as such.... go lads go... Tate knows his stuff..... Sabbath has a swing blues under current in their early music music with Ozzy... part of their influences... Don't forget the guitarist Tony Iommi was missing two fingers off his fretting hand...

You should hear faith no more do war pigs , very similar but a new edge.

When they first did that song in the studio the bass player used 412 cabinet with one blown speaker and a 100 watt Laney tube head I don't know what kind of bass he had but he wound the coils with heavier😊

Nice review glad I found your channel, and love your bourbon choices 😀

The first three albums are so good, One of the best bands and songs of all time, in the early days of rock and pop, the top 40 were all like two minutes long. but when real rock hit the songs got longer. Sabbath started heavier rock. and they did it better than anyone, because they had a feel and sole in there musicianship, you guys should check out Aerosmith ( Nobody's Fault ) from 1976

lol My father turned me on to this album when he returned from Viet Nam the second time. I was 14 years old. Timeless

Gorgeous PRS Brother! Nice LP & ES too! Sabbath set the “Tone” for what was coming. There would be no Metallica, Anthrax, or Pantera, without them.

What a great review and reaction. Thanks!

Music had so much more meaning back in the day then a lot of the music of today has

Tony is using the Hendrix chord. The dominant 7#9.

the sped up End was basically the earth imploding

is this song written about 2022?

Every time it feels like this song is gonna end being medium it ends up exceeding my expectations. A lot like Lateralus from Tool it's just such a perfect song.

Tate, another banger you picked, this is where Heavy Metal started, Black Sabbath, you must consider the era, in which this was written, 1970, the guitar player is left handed, Satan's laughing spreads his wings, means, he ( Satan) knows the lord will not forgive these war mongers (politicians) for the blood of innocent people on their hands, all for the might dollar, and power, this song is relevant till this day...

What has always struck me is the very first two lines of the song, using "Masses" two different ways, astounding lyrics for the time it was written, I grew up in the 60's and 70's, and Vietnam was dragging on, and on...and Americans for the most part, wanted out of the war...How history repeats itself...Rock ON!!

Love Bill Ward. Puts just the right amount of sauce on his sticks.

Epic song, from an epic metal band.

In America the black man gave us the blues but it was banned from most radio stations, bands like Led Zeppelin The Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath actually introduced the youth of America to a genre created here. Steve Parish, legendary Roadie for the Grateful Dead explained it thst way living in thst period.

Great song! Great reaction. ✌️ Is this our future???

To think that this came out in 1970. So far ahead of its time.

Want to do a song with length. Do Pink Floyd echos. Killer song as well

Music crosses all paths to an open mind

They started out as a Jazz band

Hand of Doom, For sure ! Faries wear BOOTS is another drummer's dream with star drummer, BILL WARD !

Imagine having so many riffs, hooks, rhythms, and melodies that you can afford to put a bunch into one song, and still make the remaining album a masterpiece. And then release 4 more groundbreaking albums.
