[@aslakrantakokko5347]

Finally someone took the courage to react to these newer songs that are diamonds too. For me, as 50 years of listening to Sabbath, this album is as good as the first ones. But with a modern touch and sound. Not to be left less noticed at all. The musicianship is just as great that it was 50 yrs ago. And that BASS tone, Geezer is nailing it again. Whole sound in this album is so FAT, juicy and HEAVY. Not dry and slim like in some of the earlier recordings. Thank you so much for posting this :-)

[@randycomerford2038]

I liked this album and song, but I wouldn't say it's as good as old classic Sabbath. The way that is heavy and kinda slow is reminiscent of Sabbath, but without Bill Wards drumming, it just isn't quite the same. On the other hand, I went and seen them on their last 2 tours and they kicked ass!!! As far as the drummer goes, he's actually really great and comes from Ozzy's solo band and does a great job filling in for Bill Ward.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

@@randycomerford2038 I saw Sabbath at Pine Knob in Michigan and they re me away. Tommy Cleufetos was a monster on the drums. It reminded me of a Young Bill Ward.

[@morbusxx7]

Yeah! I have requested or suggested this song to other reaction channels but it's like nobody want to touch it. I think because of the title, but I say that it's not what they think. I have been a Sabbath fan from the beginning. Got the first album in my early teens ( I'm in my 60's now). Saw them in concert in San Bernadino, CA in 1976 or 77. So raw and awesome live show I will never forget. FSSF.

This whole album has some of Geezer Butlers best bass playing and tone.

[@harley9699]

I need to just start a Sabbath channel. (hahaha). MY first album was 1970... oh, wait!, that's when their 1st album dropped! hahahahaha Before and after Tony's accident, they needed a bass player (even as "Earth"). Geezer 'took the bullet', so to speak, and played bass. Coming from a rhythm-to-lead guitarist background......... is why he's always been so unique. He plays the bass like a guitarist would. Ofc, they all spent time in the woodshed (obv), so that's where, in his studies, he came up w/ what "regular" bassists do. He just added it to his repertoire. Nothing lost, simply a few techniques were added. A bass inspiration for the ages.

You touched on all the important parts especially commenting on that riff in the background on the third verse intensifying the song.

[@jackenjiel4009]

Love the Sabbath reactions man. Such an amazing band. I got to see them for the first time shortly after this album came out and it is still to this day one of the best shows I've been to. Just 3 straight hours of Sabbath. Also found out after the fact that Tony Iommi, the lead guitarist, was in the middle of fighting and being treated for lymphoma on that tour. That honestly made that concert so much more memorable and from what I know he's been in remission since 2016 sometime.

[@rangur1]

great song from an underrated album!

[@michaelbrown3128]

They were the beginning of singing about the other side of life. They came out in late 60's,early 70's. Life isn't just about Rainbows,Kittens,Flowers and Puppies. They brought it out into mainstream music! Some love,some hate, just like all music, keep an open mind!

[@MichaelBrown-x1q]

Thank you Polo for sticking up for the band and their lyrics. Most of the evil or darker lyrics are usually a statement or a question, not screaming Hail Satan!!! Lol!

Another song from these guys I hadn't heard before, Awesome

The title is actually 'God is dead?' Geezer Butler explained the song's meaning to The Pulse of Radio: "It's about this guy that sets out to prove that God is still alive," he said, "and he has this voice in his head saying that God's dead, and he can't get rid of the voice telling him, so he goes out and kills everybody."

[@chrisgreenwell3404]

Hand of Doom , one of my fav Sab tunes :)

[@kevinslayzak1214]

The song "Black Sabbath" sparked the "evil n demonic" view point of the general masses when they first became popularish.....(black sabbaths FIRST band was called EARTH btw..)....they played the "Trinity",, a grouping of 3 notes that back in medieval times was actually OUTLAWED to play....was said to invoke the devil..... Black Sabbath started wearing crosses to actually show "the ppl" that they WEREN'T satanists....and of course it was misconstrued by "the ppl" as mocking the cross....funny right!?...all of sabbaths music is anti war..anti drugs protest songs basically..... Black Sabbath has been in my life for 45 years and i thank God for them🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@@punkroxgirl I agree with you about The Blues, but what does gospel have to do with Metal.

[@punkroxgirl]

@@shspurs1342 it’s more of an influence on other kinds of rock, but gospel and blues also both influenced each other. The story telling and having dominant vocals evolved from gospel.

[@punkroxgirl]

@@shspurs1342 also, I think gospel was the first American music to use shouting. It also had clapping and stomping and vocal harmonies. The style was used to bring energy into music too. The stories of struggle is another way it influenced rock. It influenced rock in general and metal came from rock

Just ran across your commentary - Excellent. The band "Heaven & Hell" is really just Sabbath renamed... b/c Dio was dying. However, he was a trooper to the END.

This was the last Black Sabbath record in 2012/ '13 (The album is titled '13') ...It's great to listen to Ozzy, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler w/ modern technology, instead of their 70's studio records which were somewhat limited sonically... Brad Wilk (Rage Against the Machine) played drums on the record after original drummer Bill Ward declined to participate because of financial disagreements w/ the band. It helped cement the Black Sabbath legacy, since the last record 'Forbidden' (1995) was not the original line-up and was something of a dud... Dio-era Sabbath renamed themselves Heaven & Hell and also released 1 studio album - 'The Devil you know' in 2009.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

I also heard the disagreements with Bill also had something to do with concerns about his physical health.

[@sumonjamal1653]

@@rustyrelicsfarm2406 That was a touring concern... but the studio situation was a financial disagreement. They wanted Bill Ward to play half the set and have a fill-in for the other half (I think) but he was opposed to that. But Bill Ward stopped participating before the studio sessions.

I feel like the main focus on the music video was missed my so many, For those who don't understand the music video (this is my personal opinion and what I noticed with it) the MV is about American government and corporate greed, if you can't buy it take it, if you can't agree take control over it, America is a soul problem in many aspects of our world. gluttony, greed, murder, hate, wars and genocide, for other countries being affected by Americas greed, genocide and, war. it's as if God is dead, and it all gets swept under the rug because the government can make it seem as if it never even happened with their control over everything we see. It takes amazing people such as Ozzy and many others to put it out into the media world and not back away, I'd say that him any all the others who do the same are unbelievably brave in these times.
