Deep purple was the first heavy metal band my friend. I saw them in 1967, three years before sabbath. But metal took all its roots from the greatest guitar player in history- jimi hendrix. I saw hendrix on 1969 and when sabbath came out we all thought they were just hendrix wannabes. Hendrix is the true originator of metal.

The guitar player Toni Iommi is who all metal guitar players looked up to & wanted to play like. Everyone from Dave Mustaine of MegADetH, James Hetfield & Kirk Hammett of MetallicA, Dimebag Darrell of PanterA & many other metal guitarists. Tony Iommi & Black Sabbath created Heavy Metal.

"Politicians hide themselves away, they only started the war. Why should they go out and fight, they leave that role to the poor." "Using people just like pawns in chess" Two amazing quotes from the song. It's an anti war song about Politicians that use people to fight wars for their own gain or for fun.

Ozzy and Sabbath are the masters. They are credited with creating the heavy metal sound.

This doesn't need a video. It's the lyrics and composition that makes this timeless.

Ozzy had (has) one of the most haunting voices of all time. Remember this song was released during the Vietnam war. While controversial, this music fit the times. A lot of folks never really tried to understand what the band was saying and tried to write off heavy metal as some genre for devil worshipers and conspiracy theorists. You have to ask yourself if this was written today, would it receive the same criticisms. Probably yes, but for different reasons.

Powerful song. Not only has the song not lost its affect over time, its affect is more powerful than ever.

This was Vietnam Era protest rock. The video is heavily influenced by 1984. As for Black Sabbath, there's a lot to go through, and it's hard to go wrong.

Wow first time I get into it like that what a video ! i have been listening to this for about 50 years and still great and true !

My mom grew up in Germany during World War II, and lived under both Hitler and (after the war) Stalin. The emotional scars were with her always, and led to her early death. I think War Pigs, more than any other anti-war song, captures the truly evil nature of war. Especially when Ozzie sings about the people at the top using the people at the bottom--the poor--as sacrificial pawns for feeding their own egos and greed. Thank you for reacting to this!

They were the roots of the tree, and what they told us then we unfortunately have not learned the lesson yet.
