such a gr8 song 1 of my favorites
Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘
Geezer on bass. It sounds like a long thick rubber band he is plucking. So freaking cool. Raw metal.
Thank you for this reaction! Still relevant social commentary. Great review as always guys! And the year was 1969, far ahead of its time.
Not to be weird or inappropriate but this woman is such a natural beauty 🥰 Sister, just your hair alone would make me fall in love 😂 Dude, count your blessings my friend 😉 If you haven’t, she’s the one you marry bro.
do live version !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a video of a live version in Paris. It's intense. That was in 1970! In Ozzie's intro. to the song, he tells the audience, "this is a new song called "War Pigs" (paraphrased). It was the height of the Vietnam War, but from what I read about the song, and this beautiful video it's really about what the UK went through during WWII. Sabbath are the OG's of Metal. I was 9 when this came out. The 60's and 70's, for many teenagers, were just one decade!
men the guitars are sick yes, but that bass… holy war pigs 🤣🤘
Honestly, I think you get more out of Sabbath, Zep, Deep Purple and that ilk, if you listen to it without videos. This music was all recorded without videos and I think it portrays emotion better. If I see a video, I feel like I am being guided to experience something. When I don't watch the video, I am more free to experience what I will.
One of the greatest and most epic songs ever made – sadly still relevant ( Kind of a hymn for Ukraine and humanity )
Great song,shit fan video.
You made the fatal mistake of watching some fan-made shit video. Do yourselves a favor and just listen to the official audio
Greatest war protest song ever and probably still relevant in 200 years. Glad you did the studio version first. The melodic part at the end of the song is sooo epic. "Faith No More" actually covered that song on their album "The Real Thing" and they have a great live version "Live at Brixton Academy". Maybe you'll check that out some other time ;o).
THE best black sabbath song ever
listen to claim to fame by nazareth… heaviest rock song ever
Best version is live from 1970 😱
Just found your chanel and enjoying your reactions! Since you working out you neeeed to check out a swedish band named Meshuggah! The only song you need in your workout playlist is their song Bleed. Live version ofc and specially the drum cam version because the drums are a big thing in this song! When I work out I put this one on repeat 😂 It's a heavy song so put the seatbelts on. Rock on!
I don’t think people realize the bands that came over from England like Sabbath, the Who, Pink Floyd, the Stone and even the Beatles. They grew up in the shadow of WWII if they didn’t live through the Bombings they lived through the devastation that the war brought in their country and that more than anything I think influenced their sound and all the great music of the 60’s and 70’s
This is one of drummer Bill Ward's best songs. The drum fills on them toms are phenomenal. Also more great guitar riffs from the master Tony Iommi. This song appeared on the Paranoid album from 1970 too.
Bill Ward beating his little 6 piece kit like it owes him every cent ever minted…..
Great band but someone needs to review some of the other great bands of the same era…… Uriah Heep and The Groundhogs they made some great music
check out the live version from The End Live in Birmingham England -201617 Album
The title was changed from War Pigs to Paranoid to avoid backlash from the pro Vietnam War backers.
Look at the Album cover. That looks like a War Pig.
The record executives decided not to change the photo. Money!!!!!!
There is a live version of this from France in 1970 and it is EPIC
I hate that video. Unfortunately, you guys made a huge mistake by not playing the studio version. All your focuses is on the video.
Gotta do Faeries Wear Boots…….also on the Paranoid album.
this isn't a real music video, it's just something someone put on youtube…. seems to be the main one used for reactions though.
Interesting you mentioning Ozzy's vocals compared to Paranoid……. War Pigs and Paranoid are tracks 1 and 2 on the album Paranoid 👍
This video is fan-made and has Nothing to do with the song.
But it's the go-to for reactors.
IMO Ozzy's best vocals are on their song "Symptom of the Universe"
The video has nothing to do with the song.
Great song, HATE the damned fan made video for reactors as it is just a distraction and is not nearly as powerful as the message of the song.
Heavy Metal 101…
WAR PIGS 1970 PARIS
You're unamerican if you don't do Hand of Doom from that same Paranoid album…………Jus' Say'n…….hee hee
HA!!! Loved the “stank face” during the solos. Ozzy’s singing definitely evolved over the various albums they did. His early vocals ( Ironman, for example ) were kinda rudimentary. Love watching your journey into the music that I grew up with. I am of a certain “vintage” that still gets chills when I hear air raid sirens.
Can’t wait until you make your way to “Mr. Crowley” live (WAAAY more mind blowing than the studio version). Loved the vid. Keep at it.
This was a pretty much an anti -war song. Mostly referring the Vietnam war. People were afraid of Ozzy after it came out. The FBI and MI6 had files on him because they were afraid he was going to organize protest problems so they wanted to know exactly what he was up to all the time. So stupid. Everyone has there own opinion. No one cared for that war and believe we didn't belong being involved. Worst part was the way the vets were treated afterwards. I know a bunch of them and they were treated terrible when they came home and still today. They have been treated like shit. I love my country and so do they. We as Americans should be absolutely ashamed of ourselves for treating them as we did. Great music though.
As a high schooler from mid 70's going to concerts n music was everything then and sabbath was high on the list of must go to concerts
In 1967, Pete Townsend (towns end) from the WHO, was bragging to Paul McCartney from the Beatles about how he just wrote the biggest, loudest, and heaviest song ever, and it was going to knock the Beatles out of the water. McCartney, not scared, but intrigued, started writing his response. HELTER SKELTER was the result and named the 1st heavy metal song. Black Sabbath came a year later, being the first Heavy Metal group. They revolutionized the dark, "Satanic Panic", edge that spilled over from Led Zeppelin, and into ACDC.
Well you guys got this one right, the lyrics are still relevant today and nothing has changed that, worse is coming for sure, lets hope it does not. So a rename for you two . The brawn and the brains, can you work that one that out, touche to the lovely lady. lol
The ONLY band that should be reacted to live is Nightwish lol. Bassist Marko Hietala did a cover of "War Pigs", it's on youtube
Heard studio in 70. Didn’t get to hear live until 78. You will love the live ❤
Love this song
The Paris live highlights Wards drumming
I agree, for reactions the studio version is best! Live comes next…
