[@Cleve_Crudgington]

Master of Reality is a 10/10 album.

[@KevinQ1989]

All first six Sabbath records are 10/10. Technical Ecstasy is an 8.5/10 and Never Say Die 5.5/10.

[@jgfunk]

It really is 10/10...

[@fuckamericanidiot]

For sure, Master of Reality and SBS are my 2 favourites.

[@fuckamericanidiot]

All the other albums have weak tracks: Evil Woman, Electric Funeral (bit dated), Laguna Sunrise (🤢), Who are you? (Dated, great Ozzy vocal though), half of Sabotage, but I'm fond of all the tracks on Master.

[@KissSlowlyLoveDeeply-pm2je]

Yeah. Their 70s catalog is classic, but Master of Reality is 100% perfect.

[@jeffklein9738]

Bill Ward is a legend! Without him the band isn't Black Sabbath. It takes all 4 of them together to be Black Sabbath! Nothing but love from me!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I totally agree. Bills flavor is essential in the BS recipe

[@jonathanlundeen8954]

I knew you could not resist Sabbath's "grooviest' album

[@briandeadmarsh7538]

Master Of Reality is Sabbath's 3rd flawless album in a row. Eventually, you should cover every song on it, like you did for the debut album (almost), but after doing the Paranoid album, of course.

[@JackCerro]

Much of Ward's drumming on this album make me think of a colossus leisurely striding across the world.

[@richardfairlamb9728]

Ha ha, great description. I love when they were working on Iron Man, Ozzy said it sounded like an ‘Iron bloke’ stumbling around.

[@rickmckee8270]

Andrew than you for covering more Black Sabbath with Bill Ward's drumming. I always enjoy hearing your perspective.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks Rick!

[@shspurs1342]

I have to say. I just love the Bass in this song.

[@asiankaos3861]

A lot of people have said Black Sabbath are a jazz band in how they play. It is just hidden under the heaviness of the music. Even Bill Ward has said they took the approach without intentionally doing it. He said the song that made him want to play drums was in the mood by Glenn Miller.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Oh wow! HAHA

[@Nissardpertugiu]

Under the sun is a banger. The opening riff is almost death metal. If you threw John Tardy Voice its not that different . Vol 4 , despite the mix vs the alternate take , its a great oriented drum album. Its where Bill was begining to really expand like octopus. With more dramatics, still Jazz but also very symphonic as Tony said By this time, even the following records through the end of the decade in his book , to bill " he tried to play like he had 8 arms , but bill , you have only 2 hands ".. I think as they were listening thoses musics , as Purple, and led zeppelin , budgie and stuff , the whole Mahavishnu orchestra Cobham Mouzon stuff influenced that expanding .. To me at least i can hear that expanding within the old influences they had in Sabotage , technical ecstasy , Never Say Die... Bill ward is unbelievable in thoses records

[@hansvandermeulen5515]

In Wicked World on the Live at Last album, there's a jazz blues bit in the guitar solo.

[@gerarddion4859]

Bill and Geezer do a lot of jazz as a rhythm section. They are fantastic!

[@jcvanbreugel]

As a 40+ year fan and a songwriter and guitar/bass player, what really blows me away is how the parts are always complimentary. Black Sabbath was so unique and cool. I’m very happy to be learning Geezers lines, although I’ll never get them exactly right.

[@dopeybrew7006]

Bill Ward is one of the greatest of all TIME! Gets no recognition

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Very underrated IMO

[@PaulyV56]

not true unless ya lived under a rock all your life..well regarded drummer in the industry.

[@chadjohnson5577]

Andrew, love the sabbath videos! You should contact Bill Ward and get a zoom interview for your channel. That would be so cool! And get his take on the tracks and his inspirations for these great tracks. Bill is the reason that I play drums. "Dirty shuffle" is the best.

That whole album will melt your face off! The first album they tuned the guitars down for. Amazing album!

[@jimjoseph7641]

Geezer puttin that stank all over the place! Nothing better than Butler and Ward as a team.

[@justingoulet9714]

Finally Master of Reality No band sounded heavier than Sabbath. I've mentioned before Jazz and electricity dark lyrics Metal was truly born Children of the Grave must play this Bill Ward (percussionality) Great choice

[@robertthomas7176]

It has been over 40 years since I first heard this song. What joy it is for me to see someone's reaction so knowledgeable about music, listening to it for the first time. I learned something today! I like jazz... who knew!

[@didierleclerc66]

Geezer and Bill would have been an amazing jazz rythmic section. I hear jazz in everything they play.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

100%

[@alwilson3204]

When they were Earth and further back, about everything they played was jazz and blues.

[@springy-2112]

My favourite Sabbath Album . Into the void is my favourite Sabbath Song . Peace and love brother ✌ 💚

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Can't wait to hear that one Springy

[@tugglesthe1st85]

this song is scary-beautiful

[@piperofsimms]

Hi Andrew, I was 14 when I got this album for Christmas. It came with a blacklight poster, blacklight and some incense. There was an aura about them. It was special then but now Master of Reality is even more special after becoming a decent musician and knowing what I am hearing. Thank you,Tucson,AZ.

[@ocho611]

Bill Ward makes this heavy, doomy, slow, groovy grind verse fucking swing. no one else could do it. no one. and he's not choking the crashes, he's hitting them on the hats

[@knarkrew]

all three members of this band had a lot of jazz experience growing up, especially bill ward.

[@mikeg.4211]

I'm assuming you mean the three who played instruments, in which case, I agree, yep. For proof, check out Air Dance.

[@davidmorgan5312]

Andrew, I know we are listening to Bill, but Geezer is killing it in the background.

[@Peace-Weaver]

I don't always listen to 'Sabbath, but when I do, so do the neighbours. Hahahah, absolutely brilliant! 🤣

[@andrewpeters6339]

I know Black Sabbath tunes back to front, but I know very little technically about drumming. I know Bill Ward does not just keep time. I can hear all his random fills and his personal effect on Sabbath as a band. Nice to have it explained Andrew!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for watching!!

[@RyanMear]

Man... I've LOVED Sabbath for years and years and listened to all aspects intently, but you really made me appreciate Ward even more. Thanks for your insight🤟

[@Damoinion]

I can never get tired of listening to Bill and Geezer working together and off each other! In a lot of ways, I would say that these two are the glue between Tony and Ozzy. If either one had not worked so well with the other, the sound just would not have come out right and we might not have metal as we know it today.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

It's a special rhythm section

[@paulhudson563]

Tony and Bill grew up with Jazz influences.

[@buzzbomb67]

FINALLY a reaction to Lord Of This World … a couple have done their other best non-hit track, Hand Of Doom, but I cant think of anyone else who has reacted to Lord Of This World. One of their best tracks, easily top 10.

[@mikeg.4211]

You're a man of taste, Erik!

[@buzzbomb67]

@@mikeg.4211 great music is great music :)

[@geogarcia4065]

The 1st TRUE, all Metal album.

[@nospam3327]

When Candlemass came out all the magazines were like, "The next Black Sabbath!" But I was like, uh, no, they sound like a metal band. The next Black Sabbath will sound like nothing we've heard before.

[@fairieswearboots3556]

Can i just say, we discuss the musical brilliance of the band, which is spot on, but where would they have been without Geezers brilliant lyric writing. The man was a master wordsmith.

[@pentagrammaton6793]

Well, you have to do Into the Void after this one.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I'll get there Alan!!

[@straturbo]

When you can close your eyes and imagine the bass line played on a upright bass... Yup.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

yup yup

[@backmarkerbob]

Remember: the first few albums Ward was playing on "my first drum kit", very few pieces of kit. He did so much with so little on those first few albums.

[@PaulyV56]

My Fave Sabbath Album Nice Work

[@GregMcNeish]

The pace that they were releasing material is even more intense than you think. Their debut was released in the UK in Feb 1970, with Paranoid (featuring War Pigs & Iron Man) following in September. Then they kept an album per year pace through their FIFTH record. Black Sabbath (1970) Paranoid (1970, again) Master of Reality (1971) Vol. 4 (1972) Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973) Then they took a little break... before releasing three more albums in 1975, 76, and 78. That's when Ozzy left the band in 1979. ... and then with a revolving cast of bandmates, Tony Iommi continued to crank out Sabbath records every year or two until 1995 (18 albums in total), before the original lineup reunited and they became a touring act (one last album coming with the original lineup minus Bill Ward in 2013). So, yes, they were productive.

[@curseofthegreat]

Ozzy got kicked out due to his massive drug and alcohol addiction, he did not simply leave. Geezer gave up drugs in 76, but Bill, Ozzy and Tony kept on. By the time they went to record Never Say Die! In 78 after the flop of Technical Ecstasy, Ozzy was MIA for six entire weeks.

[@GregMcNeish]

For sure. Those just weren't details I was including. I mean, he did leave.... But yes, thank you for the additional context.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

That kind of creativity and work load is very destructive. Must've been a hell of a time

[@Jugokazooie]

It is the creativity and not following the norm that is so dang inspiring

[@RatBotEins]

Oh you are going to love Children of the grave... and pretty much all of the album, Master of Reality is a true master piece.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

This was SOOO good. Can't wait to hear the rest

[@richardfairlamb9728]

Children of the grave is a MONSTER!

[@CVGuitar]

14:33 The first track from the Master of Reality album Sweet Leaf is awesome -- it has a sort of "freak out" part in the middle of it that will blow your mind

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I'll get to it!

[@newty72]

Its great to see Bill getting the credit he deserves.

[@td-12kx53]

What a great analysis of Bill Ward’s work!👍

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thank you kindly!

[@Frustratia]

Every single Doom and Stoner Rock band owes Black Sabbath a massive debt for the groundwork they laid.

[@BeingPresenceNow]

Thank you Andrew, for your reaction, but also for putting it bluntly: This is Jazz! It may be (called) many other things, too - but the fact remains, early Sabbath swings hard!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

🙌

[@G_Machine_Joe]

I played drums when I was young... high schoolish timeframe (mid 70's). My drum teacher was a jazz and orchestral drummer. I'd already been into Sabbath for a long time before that, but I never put it together at the time what type of drummer Bill was at first. Then I read something a few years later about his drumming that stated that, at his roots, he is a jazz drummer. A lightbulb went off. Of course he is! Just add doom and metal riffs and it's hiding in there.

[@nodaysback8390]

After Forever from same record! Sabbath Rules!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I'll get to it!

[@user-jt6qy8bn8l]

[@robweaver3212]

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yes Rob!

[@aCLOWNinPURPLE]

I know I've said something three times in the same night. But he's absolutely right this is beautiful Jazz metal

[@trevordavis2499]

Favorite sabbath album. I tuned my guitar to C standard because of this record. Real powerful grooves, and secret funk breaks. After forever is a good one as well.

[@jgfunk]

C# for Into The Void, though

[@mikeg.4211]

This is so cool, I have to go lie down for awhile now.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

[@mikeg.4211]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums , the “too cool” reference was also intended to include your expert and tasteful reaction! 😎👍

[@Nimno74]

Master of Reality is a masterpiece. And yeah, I'm sure all the guys in Soundgarden would agree that Sabbath was a huge influence...HUGE.

[@andyharman3022]

I've thought for decades that Master of Reality was the perfection of heavy metal.

[@CaptainGanja]

Love "Master of Reality". The whole album rocks.

[@Ghostweaver]

To answer your volume question, Tony Iommi famously played and still plays on an absurdly loud Laney amplifier, so yes..... they were recording loud as hell, but that also adds to that vintage heavy metal fuzz. Their stuff isn't perfect, but that just adds to it

[@rodneyespinoza2492]

Black Sabbath was a blues band when they first started called earth. Bill Ward was drinking buddies with John Bonham before he died, that might explain the similarities.

[@fartypants8776]

What similarities? Bonham was a very average drummer in the most overrated band ever.

[@billygugen8104]

I watch every Black Sabbath review I can find and youres are my favorite .

[@johnskerlec9663]

From what I understand Andrew, when the guys jammed they totally went for it. In those days, without digital cutting and pasting, they did it the old (physical way). I'm probably wrong, but I can hear through the finished work, there must have been the early jam stages where they locked in the ideas they wanted to keep and work up. Iommi has been cagey about this and we never really know their process. I also heard somewhere Iommi was also into the drums and would spend time with Bill to work out the changes and nuances of what he heard in his head. Thanks for posting. As a youngster I really enjoyed the variation Black Sabbath offered, and dined on it big. Great posts man.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thank you John! Yes different era of making and recording music. Wonderful

[@mikeg.4211]

Yes, Iommi originally wanted to be a drummer, in fact, but couldn't afford them, luckily for the world.

[@johnskerlec9663]

@@mikeg.4211 Yes indeed Mike.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Early rock bands had to have their inspirations too. Apparently Sabbath loves jazz and Zeppelin loves the blues. Rock n Roll has always been a fusion of earlier music mixed with loud guitars and drums, distortion and naughty lyrics. That's why I love it. 🤘🏻SABBAAAAATH!!!!!🤘🏻

[@usg-647]

around @9:00 - explaining section break, then Bill Ward intro “this is a jazz set up, setting a new tempo, with a 16th note partial fill.... ” ‘this is jazz, guys... I don’t know how to break it to you, but...” The explanation at @10:53 - “Absolutely Textbook Bill Ward” “in between [the main beat] are all these * Set Up fills - and they are different every time” "This is what Bill Ward does.” It’s his amount of vocab, and - straight up - amount of chops, ... call & response” The point around @15:30 where the production may have held back (converting the band into recording] (thus Bill Ward may not have had the kudos...) Have never heard it expressed & articulated this clearly, and even better pointing to a specific spot in the recording. Agree 1000%

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thank you so much for the comments and support! 💯🙏

[@gerarddion4859]

What majestic power chords to introduce this song!

[@ArchieArpeggio]

I´ve always loved Bills style to play. As i was teenage, i listened alot of BS (that time all the records came out as remastered CDs). Best of Black Sabbath were actualy second LP that i ever bought (AC/DCs Blow up your video were the first). It was impossible to play air drums and keep up with the stuff Bill was playing if you didn´t had heard the song enough to memorize what kind of fills he would play in the songs. I don´t play drums at myself (i used to play guitar), but Bill were always one of my favourite drummers. So i got to say good choise to listen out more of BS. I hope you make few videos when you reach to fifth album Sabotage. At that album Symptom of the universe is a killer track with drums. No wonder that Sepultura ended up to make cover from that track. The drummer of Sepultura (Igor Cavalera) is amazing.

[@ike555je]

Andrew, being a beginner drummer, I found it incredibly awesome for you to be stepping through the notation like you did in this video. Please do more reviews with the notation!

[@alexgolovchenko3791]

Hi Andrew. I must agree with your critique about the sound engineering. I'll bet it caused some conflict in the studio. That being said, Black Sabbath changed my life, set me on a path of music and discovery from a very young age. No regrets. 🎼🎵🎸🎹🥁🎤🔈🔉🔊

[@Ghostweaver]

Master of Reality and Volume 4. are hands down my favorite Sabbath albums! Hope you get to all of them someday, songs like Supernaut and Snowblind off of Vol. 4 and Into the Void off of Master will blow your mind! I always say this, but Supernaut was Bonham's favorite Sabbath song. He broke Bill Ward's kit attempting to play Supernaut during a Sabbath rehearsal he was hanging out at (they apparently hung out a lot at each other's rehearsals)

@@AndrewRooneyDrums I just found and watched it, lol. Since you're actually listening... Ginger Baker and Cream were who both Sabbath and Zeppelin were most influenced by. Going even earlier, i recommend looking at Keith Moon of the Who.

[@simonagger206]

Andy, you Have yo get a zoom video Q & A with Bill. He just turned 74 in May and I'm sure he would love to talk jazz, trading 8's, swing and all round percussionist 'comping' and both of you would love it. He does have a web site and is based in Southern California. Don't hesitate- now is the time to chat to him! Even better, he would love the idea of reaching all of us drummers that subscribe to your channel and maybe do questions from each album Era! We could all submit questions!! Cheers and good luck!

[@spottss]

It’s been written that ward didn’t have the same level of production of his sounds as say a Bonham.. I’m not a drummer but a fan and this I remember being clearly stated in regard to him not receiving the same accolades as Bonham or other key drummers.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I'd totally agree with that

[@user-jj4dz6tr1t]

This song is kind of like Heavy Metal Sesame Street. I know, it’s a weird thought, but I could see Ernie walking down Sesame Street to this heavy, groovin’ beat! Rhymes were unintentional I swear😎

[@dopeybrew7006]

PLEASE do Cornucopia by Black Sabbath! Bill thought he was going to be fired from the band because it took him so long to get down the drum part he wanted to play. He actually had to play it slower and they sped the entire track up on the album but it’s SO GOOD!

[@toddlawrance4045]

Mad syncopation in this band, shows how tight they were as a unit. Even Bill's straight 8th notes have a slight swinging quality to them, the space between notes. Good that you're so enamoured with the Sabs, Andrew, there's a lot to dig into.

Soundgarden's sound during the early years of the Seattle grunge scene has been described as consisting of "gnarled neo-Zeppelinisms".[157] The influence of Led Zeppelin was evident, with Q magazine noting that Soundgarden were "in thrall to '70s rock, but contemptuous of the genre's overt sexism and machismo."[158] According to Sub Pop, the band had "a hunky lead singer and fused Led Zeppelin and the Butthole Surfers". "Soundgarden are quite good..." remarked Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, "It's very much like the same sort of stuff that we would have done. Wikipedia.

This is one of my favorite sabbath songs. Corrosion of Conformity does a great cover of it that I actually prefer to sabbath’s, but that’s only because I heard theirs first. They had a little bluesy edge to the guitars, here and there and close with a nod to the debut album toward the end.

It's my favourite cover of a sabbath song.

@@ozzythecats I like most of the NIB tribute album. I heard sabbath covers before hearing them.

[@ozzythecats]

Wasn't as keen the the 2nd NIB album but i still listen to the first one now.

Thanks Rick!

I really enjoyed this Andrew. Not only am I a huge Sabbath fan (almost as much as Yoyoka!) but I’m learning so much more about them as I watch your videos. Thank you. Pat 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Yeah this is up there for me too

[@Chad_Sandridge75]

You are spot on, on where you were going as far as the production is concerned.

[@donktec]

Hi Andrew, i'm having so much fun listening along to Sabbath with you, so good! As a terrible bass player Sabbath are an incredible band, with some deceptively simple riffs to play along to, but never getting close to how much Geezer does.

This album is great

Love this Danny

Mr. Andrew Rooney I love watching your reactions I think you're a fantastic individual. Also I also I really appreciate how informative of a teacher that you are you've got a great personality and I'm sure that your students are Benefiting from that

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I appreciate that Nicholas!

[@endacoughlan2670]

Cool to see you checking out more Black Sabbath. One more call to check out Primordial if you like live studio drum recordings on albums and unique patterns and writing.

[@matthewwallington2552]

Listen to wheels of confusion it starts with a swing feel and has swing feel sections

[@terrylandess6072]

I've known these Sabbath songs since release and if I wanted to hear them straight through, I wouldn't be watching a reaction and breakdown video. As a drummer in school whom took up the bass guitar as well in my sophomore year I do enjoy seeing you explain the nuances through tablature. >Congrats again on getting your 100k plaque. On Ward: I always felt his use of cymbals was experimental for the style of music Sabbath brought to the table.

Gallows swing that’s what Black Sabbath are heavy jazz😅😅
