Dude, Bill Ward is the reason John Bonham took it to the next level and Bonham is the reason Ward took it to the stratosphere. They both were friends and respected/loved each others playing. I had read that Sabbath and Zep had a jam session one time, but apparently no one thought to record it. How epic would that have been to be a fly on the wall in that room. Great reaction as always.

I saw them around 1971 while in college, they were great live. I was so lucky to have been a poor college student at that time when there were so many up and coming bands to see for cheap, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Grand Funk, Led Zeppelin, etc. I heard that Bill Ward played the drums with the drum sticks held so that he used the fat end so that they wouldn't break when he played them.

To this day that drum set has a restraining order against Bill 🤣... true story

One of my favourite things about this. Is the fact that they played like this. In a time when there was no such thing as Heavy Metal.

This is sabbath in true form, great additional lyrics on this track as well. Greatest band ever..

You mentioned Bill Ward and John Bonham. Heard a story that back in the early days, Ward wouldn't let Bonham use his drums, even just to show him something. Guess Bill Ward got mad since Bonham had broke Wards drums twice and Ward struggled to pay for repairs. Bonham banged so hard on the drums, so did Ward. Thought that was kinda funny, just see Bill Ward saying break your own bloody drums. Peace

I love that you viewed this video because it really showcased the power and intensity of Bill Ward , an amazing drummer that doesn't get enough recognition.

Into The Void is probably the most badass early Sabbath song! At least one of them. Anybody agree?

There’s a reason why, guitarist in particular, love the older bands like Sabbath. The music was new, raw, and the sound was IMMENSE. Even to this day, as a guitarist, I prefer the overdriven sound of Iommi’s guitar compared to a lot of what’s out there today.

Best performance by a drummer. That i have ever seen/heard.

Love your reaction to these videos. This particular recording is interesting as it is a very early version of the song with alternate lyrics. Totally agree, Bill Ward is a monster. Both him and Geezer Butler had a heavy jazz influence which contributes to the unique rhythm sound of the band. It’s metal, but it swings at the same time.

In 1968, when I was 9, Steppenwolf changed music for me. In 1970, Black Sabbath changed everything for me. Thank my lucky stars for SO many great bands.

That's a 21 Year Old Ozzy , right there....1970 !!!!!!

You are spot on imo, this is Ozzy, and the Group at their best, the Drummer is fantastic, sends shivers down my back! Rock on!

Bill Ward is a Beast ! One of my all time favorite drummers. He beats those drums like they owe him money 🤣. Black Sabbath, Forever the Godfathers of Metal! \m/

After forever, Into the Void.

Changed up the lyrics a bit,there is about four different lyric tabs for this song!!! unstoppable ✌️🇺🇸

Wow, thanks for the reaction and so many memories. Bill Ward was known in my circle by the 'appellation' Bill 'Cave man' Ward. His playing is visceral.

Man, I wish I was there. Can you imagine seeing them for the first time. Mind blowing.

Bill Ward 'nuff said 👍

This was incredible!!!

Ozzie is my favorite musician....PERIOD!! Diary of a madman is my greatest treasured album!

My second concert was Black Sabbath in LA with Grand Funk and Ten Years After... Feb of 1971...BS was my favorite band...Geezer was my hero..They were so tight...unbelievable night. Black Sabbath was the core tap root of metal rock and perhaps hard rock too

Ozzy is my Idol , grew up with his music. His passing will be a long sad day for me and many others , but I know the music world will honor him as a legend he is for all the years to come. ...

Ozzy still sounds like he's about to break into tears when he sings. Phenomenal. Lyrics different to the recording? And yeah! plant & Bonham were from the West Midlands like Sabbath.

that's a hard working drummer lol

Think back to 1970, how many people were jamming to records from 1920? Probably no one. Yet here we are, banging our heads to Sabbath.

Yep, Bill Ward was off the chart on this number. This has to be my favourite Black Sabbath song. I love the way the Foo Fighters did a cover of War Pigs on Letterman. You should check that out

Good day, What people seem to overlook is that Tony Iommi Lost the tips of two of his fingers on his fingering hand while at work, they were sawed off. He then invented some tips for his fingers. It's amazing how he can play such intense riffs, not being able to feel the strings with his two middle fingers. He is why I got into playing and having a very nice musical career. Salute

"The only one who can rival Bill Ward is John Bonham." I like you. Subscribed.

Thank you very much at the end, gotta luv it

Now watch them live at the California Jam years later!

Geezer holding that shit down on the bass as well. Just astounding this is

It’s Bill Ward and Danny Carey for me. Not just my two favorite drummers of all time but two of my favorite musicians in general.

Bonham hung out and jammed with these fellas. He was frends with so many bands. Theres no telling how many bands John sat in with.

They jammed on Supernaut with Bonzo on drums

I didn't get to see them until 1978 in Portland OR. Vsn Halen opened. Great Concert.

They are in Paris.. 1970 .. this is about the best there is.. and the guitarist has his fingers cut off! You know they had a good time that night.. imagine it .. you blow the show up .. and walk out to 1970's Paris.. oh man .. the party that night!

If you haven’t already check out “Sweet leaf” by Black Sabbath, obviously the title says it all, it rocks!!

This song was lyrically changed , for the album.....Those Lyrics you heard and that concert had to be in 1969....probably before November....Sabbath recorded the first album in 1969....but wasn't released until Friday Feb.13, 1970

You gotta go back and react to their first song ever. "Black Sabbath" from the album "black Sabbath" by black Sabbath. That song is often hailed as the first ever metal song. I won't detail it much, since the track holds on to some brilliant surprises. Make sure to react to it 🤘

Behind all the big riffs and power chords they were so fucking groovy

When you can Watch that whole concert . They are so amazing. stage presence is passion and soul!!!

Bozo us to break Bill Wards drum sets when visiting him. Both ruled the drum sets in the 70s

I saw Black Sabbath in Crawley Sports Center, Sussex, England, 1981. My main impression was seeing the way Bill Ward literally 'threw himself' at the drum kit. Especially the toms. I saw his greatness that night.
