I met Ozzy and his family at a movie theater in Century City, California. Me my family was standing behind him- I didn't realize it was him until I saw the tattoo on his fingers-OZZY. I said to my husband quietly- it's Ozzy Osborn - he turned around and said hello. We talked for a few minutes about the movie we were seeing. He was a cute dad got up and went to the concession stand to get snacks for his kids.

The UNholy trinity was Black Sabbath, Led Zep. and Deep Purple. I'd love to see you react to Black Sabbath live in Paris 1970 to see them in true form. War Pigs and Fairies Wear Boots are great. Bill Ward is fantastic live.

ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Imagine someone who lived through the 1960s with all of it's folksy love music, the Beatles, Peter Paul & Mary etc, and then 1970 rolls over and suddenly they've got this song blasting in their faces. It would have blown some people's minds.

When Black Sabbath finished recording their album they were just short a minute and a half and needed a filler. So they just started jamming a song they never played before to fill it up. That song was Paranoid.

They got the name "Black Sabbath" from a horror movie in the early 60's Black Sabbath. One member said isnt it funny people will go pay money to watch a movie that scares them.Why dont we write that kind of music" All 4 came from the same town with steel factories & crumbled buildings that were bombed in WWII.Ozzy & the guitarist (Tony Iommi) went to school together.They became the Godfathers of Metal

In 2013, Geezer Butler (the songwriter) told Mojo magazine that the song "Paranoid" was about "depression" "because I didn't really know the difference between depression and paranoia. It's a drug thing; most people become completely paranoid about people when they're using drugs, was my observation, and that ends up in prolonged depression for most people even after withdrawal. The song was originally only intended as a 3-minute gap filler for the second studio album, to get to the usual length for LPs at the time. During the lunch break on the recording day (most of the first and second albums were recorded live in the studio in two days), Tony Iommi asked his bandmates if the riff could be used for this. Geezer Butler on the further course of events "We basically needed a three-minute filler for the album. Tony came up with the riff. "I quickly wrote the lyrics and Ozzy sang them live into the microphone as he read them during the studio recording."

I think he could still sing this perfectly… even if he couldn’t or can’t talk today. One of the best rock n roll vocalists of all time. He is classic.

This came out when the fucking Beatles were still the shit and #1! Unreal how before their time they really were!

right after the 69 SUMMER OF LOVE! hit like a truck

WHEN IT COMES TO ROCK/METAL , THEY WROTE EVERYTHING THEY PLAYED UNLESS THEY WERE DOING A COVER... AND P.AYING INSTRUMENTS WAS THE CHERRY ON TOP... REAL TALENT...

Black Sabbath's signature guitar riffs from Tony Iommi are legendary. Early on he had an accident at work where his finger tips were severed. He created prosthetics for his fingers that took his guitar playing to a new level

Yes, keep listening to Sabbath, hard to go wrong with any of their songs.

Yep - would indeed like to see you react to War Pigs.

This song is obviously a must review. Definitely a great track, and one of their most recognizable tunes, but I hope you'll revisit the original "Ozzy Era" Black Sabbath again soon. You'll find the further you dig into their B -sides, the closer you get to the genius of Sabbath...I recommend "Into the Void", "Behind the Wall of Sleep", "Hand of Doom, "Faires Wear Boots", "Lord of this World", "Wheels of Confusion", "Thrill of it All" and "Megalomania" (and believe me, it was hard to stop myself at only these) not only are all these songs masterpieces, but when you take into consideration the years that all these tracks dropped, It's undeniable how ahead of their time Black Sabbath was, and how they created another level of sonic intensity, which influenced an entirely new genre of music for decades to come.

Since you are exploring music you haven’t heard l would love to hear your reaction to the music of Jethro Tull (1968-the present). Start with the studio version of Nothing Is Easy from the Stand Up album (1969). Then go through the catalog of the following albums- one every year up to 1980 No two albums are alike and that’s what is amazing about them. I will check out your channel to see your reactions !

Heard Megalomania playing at my dad's place recently and had to get the name of it to listen to later, wow what a great track.

What I would say to you is the same as I've said to other reactors listening to 1960's, 70's and 80's music - imagine back then, no internet and mostly getting your first taste of a group from the radio. Try thinking about what was happening in the world at the time of the song's release, and other music before the song was released. I can assure you this made an incredible impact on us kids here in the UK, as it was a single and so the national radio stations played it, which meant over 90% of young people heard it, rather than the smaller number who bought or listened to albums. It was just so loud and vastly different from Beatles, Sinatra or other stuff we heard on the radio.

And in the US as well! I finally heard something that made me sit up and pay attention, instead of falling asleep. I was about 13?

I am so grateful to have lived through times when if you got to the top it was because you were talented, and yes Ozzies voice was unmistakable.

Love Some Black Sabbath

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Black Sabbath twice….25 years apart! First as a teenager and then I took a group of teenagers to their reunion Tour. Amazing! And believe me when they play “Sweet Leaf” everyone gets a contact buzz

Bill Ward always beat the drums like they owed him money! So energetic, great drummer. The lyrics you read were from a live performance lol. If you want to hear a great song by Ozzy I would suggest Mr. Crowley, has one of the greatest guitarists of all time playing lead guitar; Randy Rhoads.

*"Black Sabbath - Symptom Of the Universe"* killer Ozzy vocals!!! Is one of my top five songs to-date and heard this song on a tape-loop since mid 70s - *until just now I'd heard an incorrect lyric too* - blown away!

This incredible band has been together since 1968. They are the original. His voice is unique and all of his own. Thank you for sharing this one. =)

This is 54 years old and still a awesome song. This is on of the songs that no one can cover and do it better then the original. He did bite a bat head off but he did not know it was a real bat at the time. Black Sabbath and Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin open the flood gates for a lot of the greats. Ozzy and Dio were both lead sings for Black Sabbath and both had unique Voices.

"Fun fact" ... Tommi Iommi - the guitarist of BS - lost two fingers ends in a work accident and uses fake finger tips while playing! That's how he "inventend" iconic "powerchords"!

Even "better", he worked at a factory and the fingertips were crushed by a metal press, a very heavy metal, so to say.. This is like the ultimate lore story of how the Heavy Metal genre came to be (even though the name is just a coincidence of course).

I have mental health issues. I like songs that I can relate to. I'm 55, and during the 80s I wasn't really into Black Sabbath or any of the "devil music," or so they called it. It wasn't until later on in life that I could really appreciate it. It's not actually satanic. But back then, the panic was real. I laugh at my old self. Life happens. I'm a disabled veteran with PTSD, depression and anxiety. My head sometimes interferes with my thinking. 80s were wild and had great music. Maybe this was 70s. I was too young to understand. I know I heard it back then. I just couldn't connect the dots.

Black Sabbath( fairies wear boots ❤)will blow your mind ,totally a Ren switch up kind of song😊

Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘

Ozzie can sing like an angel and demon in one line.

The thing that stands out to me about Ozzy’s voice is the absence of vibrato. It’s flat, clear, and sharp. It’s pretty rare.

Tony Iomi - Guitar Riff Master, Bill Ward - Beast of a Drummer, Geezer Butler- Bass Wizard and Socially Conscious Lyricist. And then there's OZZY. Every song on 1st 5 albums are just bad ass.

Ahh! Great blast from the past song for this old hippy

When they recorded this song they needed another 3 min "filler" song, so Tony came up with the riff, and they just had Ozzy freestyle for about 45 minutes and they took the best parts and made it into paranoid.

@backstabbath2690

The freestyle recording of the song actually exists on an extended edition of the album which includes the raw demos for some other songs as well like Hand of Doom and iirc Walpurgis which is the original version of war pigs before they changed the lyrics to be about politics and war rather than black masses

It started off almost as a joke. They were playing about with a variation on Led Zeppelin's equally concise 'Communication Breakdown' and it was the producer that suggested they run with it. I think it very nearly topped the UK chart!

Enjoy your life, not end your life. There was a big controversy about this in the 70s when it came out. I was yelled at for playing it all the time, because I played it as much as possible 🙃

Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy, Oi, Oi, Oi!!!! (Sorry, I had to). So glad you had a chance to do this one.

The OG's of heavy metal. Ozzy's voice is iconic, haunting, and instantly recognizable anywhere. Another reactor made me realize something that really surprised me after listening to him for many years - he sings with no vibrato at all.

My absolute favourite to dance to. Takes me right back to great times in the 70's. I still dance to this and it really wakens up the body.

Myself and three friends formed a band at school in London in 1969/70 and this was one of the numbers we played along with NIB. We also included some Hendrix, Free, Ten Years After, Joe Cocker, Led Zep, Cream and the Rolling Stones amongst others. When clearing out some old boxes the other week I found my lyrics book where I jotted down the words to all the songs I was going to sing...took me right back and I still remember all the words as though it was yesterday! My those were the days!!!

1970. The other must-watch video from that year is "Mississippi Queen" (live), by Mountain.

Two of the hardest songs of the period.

8:07 I remember when I first heard Sabbath. Hallucinogens were involved. There was nothing else like it at the time.

God they look like they're barely seventeen! I can't believe what an anthem this is and how young they were!

Black Sabbath Vol 4 was my first album back in 6th grade. Great stuff!

Another great UK band 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I used to get speeding tickets in my '72 firebird with this song blasting. Bass turned up on the cassette deck..lol.

You are not the first person to hear "end your" instead of "enjoy" and he's been asked about it many times. You should definitely go check out some solo Ozzy... Bark at the Moon, Shot in the Dark, Suicide Solution, Rock n Roll Rebel, Crazy Train, The Ultimate Sin.... So many good ones to choose from.

Hell yeah Black Sabbath is the greatest band ever and created heavy metal! I love geto boys too, one of my favorite rap groups as well!

Just confirming what has already been stated below - the unholy trinity was Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. All legends in their own right.

Yeah, most bands during this period were singing about peace, love and understanding - and then along came Black Sabbath! I remember it well 😃😃😃

Saw them in concert as a teen! Amazing

Black Sabbath took its name from a film poster advertising the Boris Karloff film 'Black Sabbath'. At that time, the band was called Earth - and before that the name was Polka Tulk Blues Band.

Sabbath are the pioneers of all rock groups today and to come

One Great time in Era 👍🏻

Still one of my favorite albums from the moment it came out… remember the first time we were blown away.. on a turntable we listened about 10 times in a row… ❤

One of the greatest rock songs, EVER!!

I seen him in the 90's at Ozzfest! He always makes sure to say God bless!

1970 , i was 3 years old at that time , but my start as a Metalhead was 10 years later and today with over 56 years ist that the same strong love to Heavy Metal Music

OMG Geto Boyz-Mind Playing Tricks on me. One of my favorites. Black Sabbath is awesome.

The instrumental for this song was used on the SNES game: Rock-'n'-roll Racing back in 93'

Ozzie has a fantastic voice. The pace of the music is a reflection of your mind racing when you are paranoid or manic. People can get paranoid with bipolar disorder.

Hi! I've been listening to you for a couple months and I really dig what you do. I liked your mention that you were inspired by music other than the kind you create. What a beautiful thing! I'm also glad you went back and caught those lyrics. It's so easy to misunderstand and miss a good thing

With the way you appreciate lyrics, you will be blown away with Ozzy’s songwriting. No More Tears….a masterpiece

Geezer Butler on bass, and Bill Ward on drums, one of the greatest rhythm sections in rock

Ozzy and Black Sabbath songs lyrics were commercialized and changed in the 90s I remember having original records and listening re-releases later. He did say "end your life, I wish I could congratulate"

This is MY FAVORITE song by Black Sabbath 🎉

guitarist Tony Iommi had some fingertips chopped off on his last day at work at the factory before going full-time muso... he was inspired by Django Reinhardt who recovered from a wagon (caravan) fire that wrecked his left hand. Tony plays with fake fingertips, what a legend

Tony Iommi (guitar) was the best riff-meister of all time. He came up with the basic riffs for almost all Sabbath songs (Geezer Butler on bass came up with others). Ozzy was a great frontman and inspirational at producing vocals at will to fill the space, but Geezer wrote most of the lyrics. Geezer dreamed the main riff and lyrics for their song "Behind the Wall of Sleep" from their first album. This performance was before they got too heavy into drugs and booze. They were still poor kids from Aston (near Birmingham). They were so poor that Geezer couldn't believe it when he saw an indoor toilet for the first time. "You mean you take a crap inside your house?"

Thank you BP you brought me back to my teens when Sabbath was my favorite band. I’ve seen them at least 10 times and it was always such an amazing show. Please my friend do War Pigs even if you do the MV the video for that song is animated and incredible. Much love from NYC

Ozzy And Lita ford did one of the GREATEST duets of all time.. CLOSE MY EYES FOREVER! Its a must watch/listen

Ozzy...🔥 Black Sabbath is awesome Great reaction ❤

Truth! Ozzy's voice us unmistakable and is like no one else's voice.

This was a live video set to the studio sound recording. But make no mistake, they were awesome live!

The bat was thrown onstage. He thought it was a toy like normal but it was caught flying over peoples heads. They broke its neck and threw it.

Just love your excursions into other genres, so many people stuck in their narrow musical lanes and there is so much great stuff out there from across the last 60-70 years and I think you are truly helping to open some eyes and smash some prejudice so major flowers to you. Hope it gives you some hints and influence to spice up your own work which is also banging

Epic! It's the 70s man, you were either sane or crazy, no sissy stuff... LOL

We have the Genre Heavy Metal because Sabbath was the first band to have their music described as Heavy metal. Geezer Butler (lead ) lost some finger tips working in the factory in there home town Birmingham England. He put some plastic/rubber pieces on his fingers to play.
