They were my second concert back around 74'. Bad Co. Was my first. Johnny Winters my third. I saw almost all of the greatest bands the 70s had to offer. I saw plenty of the 80s aa well. Black Sabbaths Born Again was by far the best show I'd ever seen and that's saying something. I remember seeing Foghat. They were road burned by the time I saw them later in the 70s.

For all the old timers that said Ozzy was a devil worshiper, theres a good old fashion Sunday morning Christien rock song
Sabbath are the riff kings
One of my favorite Sabbath songs ❤❤❤In God we trust
Great song and album, many thought them devil worshippers but that was not true at all as these surprising lyrics note. Their first 6 albums are all classics, from the same album, Master of Reality, strap yourself in and do Into the Void, a song with truly scary lyrics and perhaps Iommi's heaviest riff in a career full of them. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶
This whole album is a masterpiece
A few deep cuts I love from Sabbath are "A National Acrobat" and "Spiral Architect"
one thing about 70's albums, every song was good... and this album, outside of Sweet Leaf, is all about the Master of Reality, thank you
Great SABB composition!! What's really awesome on this is how up front the Bass is! Usually the Geez man is buried in the background.If He was a tad louder and played a Rick that would have been perfection!! HAPPY EASTER 🐰🐣 Peace 🕊️☮️
Sabbath is awesome
Such an absolute banger!! Perfect song for this day 💜
I went to a Black Sabbath concert on an Easter Sunday when they were touring "Born Again." Very best show ive ever been to.
You'll NEVER go wrong reacting to Sabbath guys. Awesome reaction!!! Thanks for the reminder of a heavy song, with a positive message from a band you wouldn't think would deliver this message. Love it. GO BOSTON BRUINS!!! 🍻🤟👏
You and momma bar bells have a natural fit for your musical ear in doing these reactions. Keep up the good work and ROCK ON!!!
Hey Phil and Sam Yeah Sabbath 🤘🤘Next please react to Fairies Wear Boots or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath these have a ton of transitions. Almost forgot and Children of the Grave
This album and IV just blow my mind. So heavy and groovy, and seriously very intelligent and thought provoking (Sabbath very underrated in that regard).

Awesome Reaction! There are so many songs, "Hand of Doom", "Fairies Wear Boots", Electric Funeral", "Black Sabbath", "Wicked World", Behind the Wall of Sleep".....

Loving this one, You got it wrong. It's a rock scheme that hip-hop uses. This was released in august of 1971.
I love the song never say die by Black Sabbath it's a fun listen highly recommend
good review Phil with the Brawn and Sam with the brains 🤣🤣
Happy Easter Sam and Phil, If you want Christian rock/metal. You gotta check "Stryper". To hell with the devil The Way Rockin the world All for one Free More than a man. Just to name a few! 🤘😇
You need to check the Christian metal band Stryper. "Honestly", "Calling On You" or "Free".
Remember Floor of Nightwish? Her 1st band called After Forever. The guys are Black Sabbath fans so they took the song as their band name.
Ozzy's "Revelation (Mother Earth)" from his debut is another "Easter metal song," and even features the same singer....
If you want to get a dose of reality, then go listen to Lord of This World from B.S. from the same album
I love this album Probably my favorite sabbath album

It was the first ever Stoner Doom album.
'After forever' is definitely a killer track from Black Sabbath from 1971... it became a band bane for the Dutch symphonic metal band that featured Floor Jansen of Nightwish... and NYC hardcore kings Biohazard recorded a great cover of 'After forever' for a Sabbath tribute album in 1993 🤘🤘🔥🔥 More Black Sabbath - 'Children of the grave' ... 'Hand of doom' ... 'Snowblind' ... 'Sabbath bloody sabbath' Also, check out Ronnie James Dio era Black Sabbath - 'Heaven & Hell' ... 'Computer God' ... 'Children of the Sea' ... 'The Mob rules' 🤘🤘
You could pick anything from their first six records...it's all great! "Hand of Doom" would be an excellent choice. Somebody mentioned "Into the Void"...that's a great song as well.
There was a band called Stryper, that was like hair metal gospel. They had a couple of hits. I can't remember the names.

Calling on you?, To hell with the devil, in God we trust
*Y'all should also hear Stryper's cover of this. Another great Black Sabbath song, even though it's not during the Ozzy era, is "Time Machine", which is sang by Dio. It's perfect for New year's eve. Samantha, if you're interested in Christian Rap, you might check out Darrin Miller. He lives in San Antonio, but I know him from Ingram and Kerrville, Texas.* 13:39 - They say I worship the devil They must be stupid or blind I’m just a rock ‘n’ roll rebel Ozzy Osborne -Rock 'n' Roll Rebel
I bought this album in 1981 and was blown away by the entire record. So heavy, and doomy. After Forever mostly asks questions and doesn't shove Christianity down your throat as many religions do. And this is coming from an Agnostic. It's ok to ask questions. Fun reaction.
FYI - there's a whole Christian rock/metal scene out there. The most popular of all is Stryper, who started in 1983 and are still recording and touring today. I'd recommend "Calling On You" as a good starter track from them. They were most popular back in the "hair band" days. I'd say the 2nd most famous is P.O.D. (Payable On Death) and their song "Alive" is a great intro for them. Their style is a hard rock/hip hop mix, which might be more your style, but both bands are great.
I would recommend the song SUPERNAUT, from Vol 4 album... you'll dig it to the moon and back!
I could probbaly list my top 20 Sabbath tracks out of the first 8 albums in just a few minutes. I would recommend "A Hard Road" from Never Say Die.

As a sometimes bored middle aged disabled man I like to harvest reactor souls for Black Sabbath, I've at least 15 African American Hip hop heads harvested. Seeing minds being blown is always a joy. This would be one of my top tunes after War Pigs to demonstrate the misconceptions about them. So many track I could go with but will suggest "Into the void" another tune with great meaning still relevant today, perhaps even more so, regarding the state of the planet, pollution and escaping it. I hope you check it out. Another great reaction guys. Easter blessings from a recovering Catholic (also a Minister through the power of the internet). 💚🤍🧡
👏👏
Many consider Symptom of the Universe from their Sabotage album to be a precursor to thrash metal. James Hetfield and Lars Uhlrich from Metallica inducted Sabbath into the rock and roll hall of fame and acknowledged if there was no Sabbath there would have been no Metallica. So many other songs to recommend: Under the Sun, Lord of this World, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath the list could go on and on. Basically, anything from their first six albums. Also, the two albums with Ronnie James Dio replacing Ozzy after they fired him are very good.
U gotta do SNOWBLIND next!!!
Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins ❤️🇿🇦

Christian metal is a sub-genre of its own; this song is probably the first of its kind. Mid-80s doom band Trouble were dubbed White Metal for the lyrics of quite a bit of their first three albums (Psalm 9, The Skull, Run To The Light). They were heavily influenced soundwise by Sabbath and Judas Priest and have, in turn, influenced many bands. Check them out.
U guys should do Breaking the Law or You've got another thing comin by Judas Priest. Great songs.
My friends and I listened to a lot of Sabbath in our late teens and early 20s and I had one friend's mom who used to berate him for listening to devil music. One day he got her to listen to a song called Sweet Leaf, from the Master of Reality album, I think it was called, and at one point she looked up in shock and said, "he's preaching Christ." She was truly Impressed. And this one obviously fits for Easter. Good choice.

Geezer Butler wrote the song, catholic upbringing from Birmingham UK. Although I doubt he attended Mass very often later in life. Bit like me really although I'm deeply agnostic however I'm not too keen on abortion and think marriage should be for life and cheating on your wife is not cool. Those damn priests left their mark on me, lol.
Listen to Fairies Wear Boots!
Christian rockers stryper recorded this song on one of there albums.
I used this song to try to convince my dad that Black Sabbath was a Christian band. I read him the words of this song. It didn't work. I'm a Christian and a fan of Black Sabbath. They also put out songs from other belief systems. They are real people.
The lyrics "I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ" bring a lot of truth to light, afterall Jesus died on the cross for all of our sins. He wasn't crucified by the Jews and the Romans, we all crucified Him, that's why I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior over 21 years ago, and I wasn't convinced to do so by Ozzy and Sabbath, but by Christian friends.
