Before anybody thought of the term “Heavy Metal,” it was simply called “Black Sabbath.”

This song was released in 1970. No surprise to me that it is still perfectly accurate today 53 years after the song was originally released. The red is the blood of the innocents. A superb band with a wonderfully screwy lead singer, (Ozzy Ozbourne), and an epic lead guitarist, (Tony Iommi).

I wish this War Pigs video didn't exist. When the record came out you only had the cover art to look at. You are supposed to close your eyes when you listen to a song like this. These graphic videos rob you of your own imagination. Cover art videos and lyrics videos are the best to react to. Not your fault. You kick ass!

I like it. Heard the song 100's of times since the 70's don't need to imagine anything.

It takes a special kind of genius to rhyme "masses" with "masses."

Black Sabbath is the Truth. Those first six albums shaped music as we know it today. They were seismic.

That 'red' flag is her matriarch's bloody eye cover. It was white in the beginning...then it became red from her blood. Huge statement. Thank you for sharing this one.

One of the most powerful anti-war songs ever, by the greatest heavy metal band of all time. Thanks for your reaction.

Man, I have never seen someone appreciate this song so much! This warmed my heart.

I love Black Sabbath's Master of Reality album. From short instrumentals like "Orchid", to their anthems like "Sweet Leaf", "Solitude", "Children of the Grave" & "Into the Void" to name a few.

When I was 13, this band changed my music taste.I never heard a guitar sound like that.

I always find it so ironic, that politicians, especially the right wing & their followers, would say heavy metal bands were evil & destructive to mankind, yet their music is all about, calling out those politicians for their evil & destruction to mankind!!! Great reaction guys!!!

Shon and to think this was written during the Vietnam War and the band was born just after WWII so they had a lot to say about it! The drums are killer in this song. Real drives it.

One of the greatest anti-war songs of all time.

Fifty four years old And this song still kills it If it wasn't for them There would be no heavy metal Is long live sabbath

Soooo glad you did this one!! The guitar player lost the tips of his fingers before US tour. They worked in a factory and he lost them in a metal press. His guitar had to be strung loosely which creates the deep dark sound of the one and only Black Sabbath!!

Bro you can’t ever ever go wrong with Black Sabbath. They are top shelf. Hello from Texas!!

Some of the best things about the older music is the musicianship and talent and that some of them (specifically the lyrics) are still relevant today. I really don't hear any music from this current century that have that.

I like this guy he talks a lot during the song, but he listens intently and analyzes what he hears. Just hit the subscribe button

One of the best Black Sabbath songs another great song you should check out is One by Metallica.

I really enjoyed your reaction, it was genuine unlike alot of other people on KZread. Thanks for diving into the lyrics and thinking about what they are really saying and not just reacting to the drums & guitar. I love seeing people exposed to different kinds of music.

Her mother's blind fold covered in her blood being set free, this is the next generation of resistance

This song is 100% truth!!

I was expecting for someone to say for you to watch the live version, but I didn't see it, this is unbelievable live, you will love it. The musicians and Ozzy were at the top of their game. It's Black Sabbath live 1970. Good reaction bro. The only suggestion I have for you, when you stop and re-start, back it us a couple of seconds when you start it again.

Also, check out their concert at Paris in 1970. It's incredible. Really.

The red flag was the blindfold that was on her mother. It was white but turned red from her blood.

The LYRICS🗣️ & the DRUMS are the Star ⭐ of this amazing anti war masterpiece❗

Geezer thumpin that bass sounds like a big thick rubber band. lol This is raw metal.

Sabbath, OG's of Metal!!! Mic drop...

Despite the true meaning of the song, I love that WWE used it as the theme song for every one of their NXT WarGames events & last year's WWE Survivor Series: WarGames event, which fit those events perfectly. Whether you're a wrestling fan or not, the WarGames match is nothing short of epic & I recommend those matches to fans & non-fans alike!.. 😁👍

It was so damn cool to bring in Ozzy for Survivor Series.

Ignore the animated video. It is not an official video from the band. It was a student-created animation done decades after the song was released and not connected in any way to the song. The person who created this KZread video attached it to War Pigs because they thought it was cool and they got tons of view because of it. If you really want to see a cool video of this song performed live check out the 1970 Paris live version (not actually in Paris, but that is the title). It's crazy good.

The flag is a rag. It's covered in blood. She took it off of the women who was executed in the beginning of the video.

This is why we need more political leaders who have served. Its crazy that a song released 54 years ago applys to today

One thing to think about is how Black Sabbath and Ozzy were portrayed in the media back in the day. When I was a kid, the most common story in the media was that they were devil worshipers, etc. I personally think this was an attack to distract the average person from their messages in their songs.

I think you would like a lot of their songs, some of which the lyrics have deep and/or good meaning. You should always have lyrics captioned on the screen for them. Songs to check out: *N.I.B. (1970)* The lyrics are in the first person from the point of view of Lucifer. Bassist Geezer Butler, who composed the song's lyrics, has said that "the song was about the devil falling in love and totally changing, becoming a good person. *After Forever (1971)* Lyrics were written by Geezer Butler (bass) while the music was written by Tony Iommi (guitar). Geezer who was brought up strictly Catholic, focus entirely on Christian themes *Children of the Grave (1971)* The song lyrically continues with the same anti-war themes brought on by "War Pigs" and "Electric Funeral" *Fairies Wear Boots (1970)* Funny about doings drugs like acid/LSD *Sweet Leaf (1971)* It's about the first time Ozzy smoked weed *Lord of This World (1971)* It's basically Lucifer telling you that most of us on earth follow him (doing bad things and sinning) and less people follow God and the devil is loving it, and he asks at the end, "But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die" *Sabbath Bloody Sabbath* (1973)* The band had been feeling quite pressured and Tony Iommi (guitar) had writer's block. The band rented the supposedly haunted Clearwell Castle in hopes that the change of scenery would give them a vibe and shake some songs loose. Apparently it worked; on their very first day there Tony wrote the riff to "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath."

Yes 1970 right at the end of Vietnam war. WE who have never had to experience war or invasion directly in our country I Thank God for this. And to have it in our homes and streets would be un imagineable. That little girl represents so so many that are and have lived with that kind of Hell. This is one of my favoeite Ozzy Songs growing up i saw Black Sabath so.many many times, like ive said begore, they seemed to be in my home town in Ca in concert, i thought they had to live close lol they showed up with other bands with not being on the Bill or anounced they were coming them and ZZ TOP. Love thrm also. But hearing all the songs in my teen yrs + and listening to them now. I still love Black Sabath, but didnt appreciate some of the songs then as i do now. Like War Pigs i said its my favorite, and it is now at 60ish. I find that often now days. The music, bands from my generation years are still my favorite bands, however alot of the songs have switched positions as life moves on the songs move around on the list. All have memories, just in my teens hadnt lived enough to understand and appreciate certain songs or i see them and feel them diffrently then i did years ago. With that said some have been deeply planted in my soul from day one and will always stay put. Like the song i heard leaving the hospital the day my mother died. Im so glad to see younger tubers reacting and understanding and appreciating "My Generation Music" so Thank you for giving something new or in this case old a chance to be appreciated and enjoyed for a bit longer ! Have fun and enjoy. .

One of the greatest and most epic songs ever made - sadly still relevant ( Kind of a hymn for Ukraine and humanity )

Check Paris live.. it's even freaking better. one of the greatest anti-war, anti-corporate, anti establishment songs of all times. also it rocks .. the drums with Geezer .. Ozzy .. and Tony Iommi playing with his cut off fingers kicking so much ass. thanks for doing this one.. do check the live in Paris. Blow your mind

She is lady justice. I really got that when they put the blindfold on her.

The great Bill Ward on the drums.

knowing that "War Pigs" came out in 1970 and here we are in 2023 and its still relatable unfortunately to the world today is both amzing and sad. a lot of songs from the sixties & seventies were about world issues especially about war. its just that back then most artists werent as obvious with their lyrics or titles as black sabbath was with "War Pigs". unfortunately there arent as many artists today that are willing to address these same things as artists back in the day did. it almost seemed like it was expected for artists to speak out where as now most are more concerned with not becoming part of the "cancelled movement". might explain why there arent many current artists that i truly love, where there are tons of 'older' artiists that i still love/like much more. Tom Macdonald is one of the few 'current' artists that dares to have substance to his music.

Black Sabbath - paranoid , ram jam - black betty , pink floyd - another brick in the wall , pink floyd - comfortably numb , beastie boys - fight for your right , cheap trick - i want you to want me ... just some classics everybody should know !!!

GODFATHERS OF HEAVY METAL HERE!!!

Great reaction, I'll add another vote for the 1970 live version! Keep an eye on the drumming

New sub. dude. Love how you really listen and get the meaning behind deep songs.

This song is so good at porteront the emotion of being at war. The sirens at beginning are so so haunting! It still astounds me that if you were rich, you could get out of fighting in the Vietnam war. But those who weren’t, so many were conscripted. That guitar part you mentioned sounds like doomsday is coming! 😱

Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘

Bill Ward!! Beating the hell outta that kit!!

The red cloth in the girl's hand is the blood-soaked blindfold that her mother was wearing. She's holding it as an act of defiance against the evil, war and corruption. Anyways, that's my take on it from watching the visuals.

Another group you should listen to that speaks facts to war is the group System of the Down..listen to these 3 songs Toxicity Chop Suey B.Y.O.B. These guys bring it as well as Ozzy did in War pigs😍🤙

Add these to your COOKOUT PLAYLIST my music lovin' brother,, Rufus "Tell Me Something Good",, The Staple Singers "I'll Take You There" & Al Wilson "Show And Tell"

Two things I told you at the earliest opportunity were, 1 You need Black Sabbath in your life and 2 if you listen we will watch. Great reaction and glad to see the Channel doing well. Dive in to the Dark Rabbit hole. I will reiterate another suggestion. AC/DC, but do it from the beginning and make it a series. Channel building shit my friend. All the best from an old metal head in Ireland.

My first concert, February 2, 1976, Hampton Virginia on my 13th birthday. Bob Seger and Black Sabbath. Weird combo I know. I mainly wanted to see Seger, it was when his Night Moves album just came out. Friggin memories.

The FOUNDERS of this genre of heavy metal.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sabbath were really doing an amazing version of a kind of theatrical metal, before metal was even really a thing. Some people say Led Zeppelin was the first metal band, but I would argue that though they laid some of the groundwork, Sabbath was where metal was truly born.

1970 is my teenage years. We all love one another. Are government wants us apart

Epic song, still revelant today

these are the guys who started it all dude

🖤🖤🖤 Yep.

Song is so true. Even back then

The greatest anti war anthem In the world 1st sung in 1967... 57 Years ago ! Simply True & Straight forward and?? Aimed at the right Groups of people! If the world holds together another 200 years?? , this song will be there, Because it is absolutely a ballad to the disastrous actions and attitudes and decisions of politicians rich-men and rogue military states: Absolutely! God bless you and your family Peace ever in Jesus name!

This came out in the early 70s, during the Vietnam war. Lots of anti-war songs were written during those days.

Basically, they were telling the politicans that started Vietnam to go to hell, and stay there. B.Y.O.B from System of a Down is kind of a sequel to this song.

love the excitement man.

Love the reaction, hate this video. This is NOT a Black Sabbath Video. This video has nothing to do with the song. A fan took this video and put the black sabbath song on it.

If you want a love song by Black Sabbath, you should choose "Sabbra Cadabra" from their fifth album .... Or N.I.B. from their first album!! I will wait to see if you choose either!!

That last verse will be the truth

😂 you got to listen Black Sabbath 🤙 Sweet leaf

The literal start of heavy metal was anti-war protest and "Shit ain't OK" feeling and social justice orientation that was profoundly anti-Flower Power of the times also.
