Black Sabbath - Into The Void (REACTION)

[@Freehardy]

Is it doom? is it thrash? is it grunge? Is it funk? Is it jazz? It's Sabbath

[@josephbrenner2278]

They've always called themselves heavy blues 💙

[@paranoid2867]

@@josephbrenner2278I think I’ve read somewhere Tony Iommi called it “Atomic Blues” which absolutely kills

Don't you boys know any nice songs?

[@twobeer3316]

Sabbath is worthy of hearing every song in order, like you are doing with Zeppelin...

[@jamesleblanc7437]

Agreed!!!!!

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

Agreed!

[@edboycon]

100%!!!!!

[@rickandgen]

Absolutely! Listen to the progression of the music. From heavy blues/jazz.

[@tenebrisrex333]

True story John Bonham the drummer of led Zeppelin was Tony Iommi's, guitarist of Black Sabbath, best man. They all hung out together. Robert plant and Bonham were brummies or close to it.

Eleven in a row of pure Gold!

[@yves78]

I don’t know if you guys know the guitarist, Tony Iommi, heavy metal guitar tone was partly born from an accident. He had the tips of his fingers cut off in a factory right before he was to quit to play in the band full time. He had rubber thimbles made to fit on his fingers. Still, he needed to downtune his guitar which slackened the the string tension so it was easier for him to fret. He would also mainly play power chords (the three low notes of a chord) which are not major or minor. Put that together with gain and distortion and you have metal.

[@VintageWanderer]

This. 😊

[@michazmic1]

True story

[@chrisw3421]

You know he loves it when having his finger tips sawed off didn't stop him... THE RIFF MASTER

[@doznoff]

You can see his finger tips on vol 4 album photos

[@beatlesfantoo]

Actually, it was his middle and ring fingers on his right hand, He is left handed. Happened when he was 17.

[@cazkain]

Dam, sorry these dudes deserve full albums treatment!

A National Acrobat. You have to do it. One of if not their best songs.

[@ronaldbarnes6188]

I’m proud to say I’m one of a few brothers that saw this group in concert. It was September 1972 in New Orleans. I was a twenty year old puppy then. I’m 71 now. 🎸🎸🎸

War Pigs live in Paris if you want to experience Bill Ward live.

[@AdamRant138]

Amen to this. My favorite ever Black Sabbath live show.

[@davidmastro5406]

Henry Rollins described Tony Iommi's guitar tone on this album as being "like lava".

[@clasmaster1471]

There is no one like Black Sabbath, the world would’ve been a different place without them.

[@rogercaruso9337]

When I tell people I was born in 1956 they all say I'm an old man but look at the music I listen to growing up you'll never see that again

[@RandySpencer-h9x]

Greatest

Megalomania is a banger and really shows off how good Ozzy was in his prime! Killer riff too

[@vicprovost2561]

That whole side of Sabotage was dope!

[@godbluffvdgg]

The Writ too...One of their most poignant songs IMO...

[@isomer13]

Iconic Sabbath. My uncle gave me this album when I was 13. It was 1974. Still have it.

[@WillowZiggy1957]

Can’t go wrong with Sabbath. The groove, change ups and vocals 🔥

[@milo4222]

The detuning of the guitars is primarily due to the Guitarist "Toni Iommi" losing the ends of his fingers in an industrial accident. he fashions leather ends for his finger tips, and thus needed to tune his guitar lower to allow him to bend strings and play correctly. That accident staged the sound of Hard Rock and Metal for years to come..

[@slayerrules70]

Toni Iommi,the riff master!!!!! He and Black Sabbath literally birthed Heavy Metal! Black Sabbath forever🤘🤘!!!!!

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

A note on the name. The boys were horror movie fans and the band took its name from a 60's horror movie of the same name. They didnt dig the usual hippy peace sound so they came with the same message disguised in darkness. I have always likened them to what use to be called "Hellfire Preachers" who scared you straight. Black Sabbath the movie. Pretty good flick for its day. Heres the trailer kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6rFkoekr9psd6M

[@lookmanohands1966]

Fun fact; Tony Iommi was riding in Bonham's new Lambo early morning before sunrise when John ran it up on an island in a turnabout in UK. Bonham laughing says we should get a drink at the nearby pub. Tony said it's morning, nobody is there. John pounding the door is greeted by a bewildered owner in his pajamas and refused them. John offered to buy it and made a great offer. The owner sold and John asked he start pouring, which he did. Tony was a great friend but never let John drive him again.

[@Jhofy]

N.I.B is a must hear, its from Black Sabbath first album

[@Chadner]

They've done the whole first album, look it up

[@franktrig]

You hit it on the head, a lot of positive messages cloaked in darkness.

[@tralph40]

This album’s sound was my fave of the lot!! Please do Lord of This world 🙏

[@thinkaboutwhy]

Lord of this world , excellent choice

[@APAL880]

You guys could go through the original Sabbath albums. They made 8 albums with the original lineup. You could at least go through the first 6, which are universally seen as their best albums and all classics.

[@mikeb3835]

Never say Die and especially Technical Ecstasy were actually pretty good albums, just not classic Black Sabbath. Tony Iommi was trying to take the band in a more progressive direction, which didn't sit well with a lot of Sabbath fans.

[@jamesleblanc7437]

@@mikeb3835 when they were remastered for the Black Box, those last two albums definitely grew in stature, especially Never Say Die!

[@bobdelp2023]

IT SOUNDS BEAUTIFULLLLLLL ( NO PUN ) TO THE EARS, NO QUESTION THERE! 😊

You have no idea how hard this song was on factory speakers in the 70s. My Moms car never sounded the same after I listened to this in it once.

Sabbath deserves album by album like zep and Floyd.

[@44coma]

Black Sabbath was the first album I bought at a tag sale when I was around 10 years old. Been a fan since. Over 40 years now I have been cranking Sabbath up.

[@tralph40]

This album was my first at 12 in 1980. It was meant to happen!

[@jazzyboy7784]

It warms my heart when you guys get excited about a song and a riff...keep up the great work.

[@vicprovost2561]

One of the heaviest riffs ever and a.killer song from an album that set a standard that few approach. Master of Reality spawned metal genres like Doom and Stoner Rock and is yet another forever album. You need to Hear the whole album starting with Sweet Leaf ASAP LOL! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎶

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Geezer Butler's lyrics paired with Ozzy's incredible delivery was a powerful combination! Geezer at one point was considering joining the Priesthood from what I heard, which might explain why they constantly talk about religion. I think you guys will also love Orchid/Lord Of This World from the same record...and if not, Snowblind from Vol. 4 (my fave Record) would be great also, good one guys!

[@J-Loe]

Yes Geezer’s lyrics are incredible but his bass is the main driving force.. such a killer bass player.

[@graemestroud2768]

Love your reactions to Sabbath .You really really get them in every way .Much respect to you both .

[@andrearodriguez9005]

I get the oxymoron reference. When I was a little kid in the early 80’s I would sit in my basement in the dark and listen to Ozzy’s Diary of a Madman on Vinyl with headphones. My mom thought I was worshipping the devil. Turns out he was talking about mental health and somehow I understood that but did not have the vocabulary to say that. Lol 🤘🏼😎

[@Greg-io1ip]

Metal Rap. A hybrid of everything. Sabbath is timeless.

[@MrDeadstu]

I love watching you guys experience new Black Sabbath, my favorite band, and looks like they are creeping up your rankings too ! Black Sabbath acquired the bad-boy rep from parents and puritans back in the day. They are all "good" Catholic boys, even on stage they all wear crosses. They always preach Love and understanding, how ironic soo many people won't even give them a listen purely based on their "reputation". Their loss, Sabbath rules. How about a little "Sabbra Cadabra" for a sweet banging groove.

[@ewoe21]

Man this is the stuff we use to jam to when we were just learning how to play. Childhood memories.

[@Ninang363]

Geezer Butler lays down the heaviest grooves!

[@axelpenn2131]

The OG of Heavy Metal what can I say growing up in the late 60’s - early 70’s second to none! Checkout War Pigs live in Paris 1970 for greatness ✌🏻

[@Irockthere4]

You hit the nail on the head. For years people thought they were devil worshipers. Those people didn’t listen to what Geezer was writing. Ozzy played the image though. A great record.

[@keeyoki1]

[@klasseact6663]

Couldn't click this fast enough...react to Black Sabbath "Black Sabbath" live from Paris France 1970 and I might break my finger. You'll get to see these guys giving birth to Heavy Metal, it's a chilling video because you can feel the horror of the song in THIS performance💯

[@gandalf679]

Hey guys, love your channel, Army vet, and retired 30+ years from broadcast radio, mostly what's now called "Classic Rock" but back when this was new, we just called it Rock, Heavy Metal wouldn't be termed until sometime much later, that being said, they definitely started the slog toward the heavy metal sound, I'm thrilled that you see the band as we did, all we wanted was peace et al, and these guys brought attention to what was going on in the world, at that time, wars in 'Nam, and college campus' becoming the center for change, even perhaps, a revolution...Sabbath will always be in the upper echelon's of Rock Music. Rock ON!!!

[@BigC.]

One of their all-time best.

[@johnroff2704]

I get the biggest kick out of watching you guys as you're listening to Black Sabbath. I've watched all your vids with this band. I'm 62, and Black Sabbath made a huge impact on me when I was around 18/19 y/o. I would sit and smoke weed listening to them, lol! And all the things you guys are saying about them is all the same stuff I would have said back in the day, and still say now! It's so cool to see how a band that made such an impression on me is making a similar impression on you! I wonder if you guys are taking a couple of puffs before you listen? LOL! Anyway, thanks for what you're doing. It really does bring me joy! Keep on!

You want to see Bill Ward in action you need to check out War Pigs live in Paris… best live drum performance… no lie

[@danw2276]

So uncoventionally great! Image being 12 and hearing this and NEVER hearing anything like it before.....EVER. To see them and Ozzy like for 40 years id say that band and ozzy rocks. Lol comment. Ozzy blasting the chick's with a water gun hooked to a hose was classic. Wet t shirts everywhere but it was 103 that day at ozfest Boston outdoors 10 hrs long 17 bands and they were last. saw B.S. a few times on their LAST tour lol

Very first heavy metal band(1970) and often imitated but never duplicated.First album was released in the U.K. February 13,1970 but wasn't released in the US till June of that year.

[@Molasar54]

I was 17 in 1971, and I heard the Paranoid Album, and it was clear this was something new and completely different. Followed them their whole career. I cannot describe what it was like hearing them for the first time. It was an amazing almost spiritual experience.

[@Roh_Echt]

What I loved about them then was what they were doing on their first few albums in '70 and '71, as compared to other music. Go listen to some of those Top 100 songs from 1970 and 71.

These guys are for real. They get it. Real active listening. Their reaction reminds me of being a 17 year old metal head hearing Public Enemy and some west coat hip hop and Funkadelic for the first time. Like oh man, this is serious shit. I WANT MORE! Ozzy era Sabbath is on my desert island list, but I think some tracks on Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain are the heaviest stuff ever made. Anyway, expand your horizons! Good music is good music.

Being godfathers of Metal nobody heard anything like this. Props to the producer for taking a chance on what would be one of the most iconic bands in history.

[@johnprice6066]

As someone commented earlier, Tony Iommi suffered an injury to his right hand, his fretting hand, and in order to make it easier to play, Sabbath tuned down to C# standard tuning, and sometimes would drop the low C# to B for open B tuning... The result is that heavy, muscular tone you hear from "Masters of Reality" forward...

[@lucasroth7922]

Y'all bobbin reminds me of my 10 year old self and my 12 year old brother when got the album in 71🔥🤘✌

[@DJGURR]

Fun fact. The reason Black Sabbath pretty much invented Heavy metal as well as many other other subgenres , is because their guitarist Tony Iomi severed aome fingertips as a teenager in a factory accident and its easier for him to play detuned
