[@ZM-kulashi]

But the 2 best of the album are not these. Snowblind and Supernaut.

[@stevegilmore2093]

@@ZM-kulashi probably the two songs on the album people like to pay attention to, for some reason. Guess they have more of a universal sound/appeal to them, but they don’t reach that same level of epicness/intensity that under the sun does for example.

[@ejohnson3837]

One of Black Sabbaths greatest heavy tunes. They were light years ahead of time.

[@jasonmoskowitz246]

You mean heavy years?

[@lucypoopies]

@@jasonmoskowitz246 Nice one.

[@daveswallow8351]

How can so many great riffs can come out of one man. Iommi is a genius!

[@markgreen4745]

Bill Ward and Geezer are so underrated, IMO Bills one of the best drummers ever

[@62SG]

This is, I think, Sabbath's most epic album and that's due to the opening and closing track. Under the Sun closes and Wheels of Confusion opens, and they're very much in the same vein with many shifts, fantastic Ozzy melodies and epic instrumental outros. And sandwiched in-between are some of Sabbath's heaviest songs and some of their most out there.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Sounds like a banger album all round

[@markb.8756]

Definitely agree that V4 was a jump to a next level for them. Geezer said it was almost like they skipped an album between MOR and V4.

[@youreatoilet]

Vol 4 is my favourite album by them, sure it doesn't have as many hits as Paranoid, Black Sabbath or MOR but some of the songs are truly masterpieces. A perfect blend of light and dark, some of their best switch-ups are on Vol 4. - Snowblind is probably my favourite!

[@EchoesDaBear]

Agreed. I only knew Snowblind & Changes early on thanks to "We Sold Our Soul" compilation...but as I got each album, I was continuously blown away by the sound, the quality and awesomeness of the deeper cuts - and the opener/closer of Vol. 4 epitomized that! (as did Sabra Cadabra & National Acrobat for me on the next album, and Solitude on Master of Reality). Just an amazing band.

[@domenicgalata1470]

The stories of the epic level of debauchery they got up to in the recording sessions in Los Angeles are great. The Cocaine budget was in the six figures range.

[@pcjmwhyle1452]

There are just two sorts of people in the world, those who know they love Sabbath and those who love Sabbath but just don't know it yet. It's been great watching your enlightenment and getting from the second group to the first. Your job is to carry on converting the masses who have yet to find their love for Sabbath. Keep up the great work Andrew. 👍

Yo thanks. Yup big fan

Love to see someone finally giving Bill Ward his dues. Criminally underrated drummer. Keep the videos coming man, very entertaining and educational as well!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thank you Bradley!

[@bradleyhacker7684]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums No thank you sir! My drumming has improved immensely since I discovered your channel.

[@wintyrqueen]

Bill did have two kick drums at this point. Bonham was always jealous, as Page wouldn’t him have them, & he always wanted to play Bill’s kit… which Bill hated, because he always left them beat to shit 😅

[@Redd_Fawkes]

Because Bonzo had to learn to play the single bass twice as fast to get the sound he wanted. On Bill's set, he could take it to the next level. He was like the kid who came to your house whose parents wouldn't let them play video games at home. He just went crazy.

[@36ELRIC]

Being a huge Sabbath fan I'm actually jealous of you. You get to hear this band for the first time. I would love to go back and experience that again :)

[@Milius47]

Yeah...being 12, 13 and hearing all this again....

[@brianvigneau2074]

Totally jealous

[@JimmyRJump]

Hard to imagine that there's fifty years between my first listen and yours.

[@domenicgalata1470]

Tony Iommi and John Bonham were tight friends. Tony was in Bonhams wedding party and apparently there is a mystical tape of a Jam session involving members of Sabbath and Zeppelin recorded at Iommi’s home. Oh to hear that session.

[@mikekeeler6362]

I don't think Tony has those tapes anymore

[@brianconnolly5649]

as a kid i loved old black sabbath. finding these videos at 48 years old has re ignited my love for this band

[@robertthomas7176]

[@RickINFJ]

No way!! This song is so heavy; way ahead of its time. Can't wait!

[@ChiefMiddleFinger]

Bill Ward was a powerful drummer. His use of fills was perfect for Sabbath. Never too busy, but always in the right place at the right time. Ominous !

[@davidvasquez8658]

Your reactions are SO cool. I'm not even a drummer but I play guitar and Black Sabbath is as heavy as it gets. Keep shuffling Andrew!

The intro to this song and the song black sabbath will forever be the blue print for doom metal. And you definitely need to do more reaction videos to tracks of vol 4. because it’s a phenomenal record.

[@strummer3162]

It truly is hard to imagine a better song than this. It has everything you could want and packs in more! Such a classic!

[@SnoopyQ.66]

I can't overstate how much joy there is to be found in a professional musician discovering Sabbath songs for the first time (which is something I myself wish I could do again). Your absolute love for the material shines through on these videos, earning a sub from me. Vol.4 is probably their filthiest album (higher production values come into play after their first four LPs) but it's my favourite, maybe because it was released the year I was born, but probably because its limited diversity is a nice bridge between straight Sabbath and the experimentation that came after. My favourite band, which is mostly down to Iommi, it has to be said. However, in my top five, The Police are pretty high and that is mostly down to Stewart Copeland's drumming.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thank you so much for the interesting comments and the sub!

[@pointlessmanatee]

shrodinger's bill ward: he is clean and dirty at the same time

[@BlackLabGarage]

In Tony Iommis book he talks about Bill struggling with this song. He said they started joking calling it “Everywhere but under the sun” because of Bill lol

[@Nissardpertugiu]

It was cornucopia Bill stuggled with..rightfully too. The verses are nasty

[@fronthorse]

Hardly anyone reacts to Spiral Architect. Such an amazing song.

[@stephenwells1559]

Every Sabbath album is a package that should be appreciated as a whole. They were an album band not a singles band. This digital age trend of songs as wallpaper or on a disjointed playlist smorgasbord was unheard of back in the days of vinyl. It’s good you went through all of the 1st album from start to finish, but your appreciation will go through the roof if you do it with all of their albums. This will allow plenty of time before you get to Megalomania on the Sabotage album!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

We've completely lost the art of the album IMO Stephen

[@MickH60]

I miss the joy and anticipation of a new Vinyl Album, and the organic experience , peeling the plastic off it, opening it up to check out the pictures, the first time you pull the album out of it's sleeve, and the crackle of the needle touching the vinyl for the first time, as it rolls along into the first track....pure gold !!!

[@Cimmerian415]

Love this song! I always thought the main riff was sinister and fitting of a medieval "Dance Macabre".

[@paulhudson563]

Most Sabbath songs are 2/3 songs in one. Different styles and tempos. They are so inventive.

[@mrsmith7939]

The faster section of this track sounds very similar to Flight of the Rat by Deep Purple. Great stuff and interesting videos!

[@johnsheppard2248]

I'm loving your journey of hearing Black Sabbath for the first time. I was a teenager in 1970 and Black Sabbath was our sound track. I first saw them in 1973 and the experience has stayed with me for 50 years undiminished because of their raw energy and power. Geezer was a hypnotic bass player and deserves more of the limelight. They had a simple light show and a few effects (poppies fell in War Pigs and snow in Snow Blind) but they still rank in the top 3 of the 100+ live bands I've seen. Thank you for your brilliant and enjoyable analysis of Bill Ward and the whole band, I look forward to even more to come

[@johnsheppard2248]

@Jeff Jordan in no particular order Sabbath, Queen (with Freddie) and Muse. Purely personal opinion of course

[@justingoulet9714]

Great pick Just down and dirty Sabbath does it like no other Check out Snowblind Vol 4 Amazing Album Bill Tony Geezer Masters and Ozzy Osbourne's great vocals Long live Sabbath

[@mr-wx3lv]

That's a great comment you made at the end. The technology was behind what the band were trying to convey. I'm guessing it's analogue sound equipment in 1972, if they had that digital, their sound would have been more crisp and detailed....But black Sabbath were pioneer's in this style. So enjoy their energy and creativity.... hope i made sense....😉

[@SteveShaw-lf9mv]

It's great too watch your reaction to sabbath, your love for sabbath took me back years ,black sabbath led zeppelin come from the same city at same time, I did hear that Bill ward and John Bonham lived in the same street

[@rickcook7308]

Love the death shuffle

[@rickcook7308]

Followed by the shuffle of doom

[@CD_Character]

I remember reading or hearing about Bill Ward and jazz roots. He was apparently greatly inspired by his father's love of jazz; most notably Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich.

[@theleonardowilhelm]

Hey Andrew! There's a track from that same album (Vol 4) called "Cornucopia" where Bill Ward himself said it was the most challenging song for him to come up with. That would be an AMAZING one for you to react to. Keep up the amazing work, Sir!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup I'll get to it Leonardo!

[@Tessmage_Tessera]

I think every sludge/doom metal band owe their very existence to "Cornucopia."

[@warren4110]

This one is actually 2 songs in 1. Under The Sun/ Every Day Comes and Goes. The album sleeve had different titles depending on the country it was sold in. I’m Australian and the title here was simply Under The Sun.

[@jonathanlundeen8954]

Bonham was a big Bill Ward fan, especially the song Supernaut from this album.

[@cecilkeebler4254]

Apparently so was Frank Zappa.

[@simonagger206]

Yes and famously jumped onto Bill's drumset and jammed on Supernaut. LZ and Sabbath were both in the same studios. Bill would always say that Bonzo would break his gear! Bill used to also stand in the middle of the venue floor when Bonzo was setting up around the Birmingham area in the late 60's...Bonzo would ask him ' Can you feel my bass drum vibrating your sternum there?...that's the impact I'm looking for..'. Brilliant. I could swear that I heard a muffled poor quality boot leg of the famed Supernaut jam with Bohnam playing Bill's double bass in an straight ostinato,, instead of Bill's bouncy swing, but this was about 20 years ago and titled Black Zeppelin! Maybe someone else can verify that?

[@suzetteanne]

They were also friends and drinking buddies.

[@bfulks2001]

This is one of their lyrical best. Geezer gets no credit but he wrote most of their lyrics. All the really good ones like The Writ and Megalomania on Sabotage and this song on Vol 4. And so much more pretty sure I’m right, if he didn’t write those lyrics we’ll know becauee I’ll be attacked. But I’m almost positive..🎉🎉

[@richardhincemon9423]

Geezer Butler wrote the lyrics for 99% of all Sabbath songs recorded from 1969 to 1978. Ozzy Osbourne contributed melodies with the occasional lyric and song title. Tony Iommi was responsible for 99% of the music and was the Master of the heavy riff. Bill Ward contributed amazing drum percussion with the occasional vocals along with writing the lyrics to the song it's all right on the technical ecstasy album.

[@jospehbloseph7172]

@@richardhincemon9423 yes, thank you

[@mikeg.4211]

You got it right, Jospeh! Geezer (Terry) was an awesome bass player and also an outstanding lyricist. Iommi wrote virtually all of the music and Butler the lyrics. Best and most underrated songwriting team ever between the two of them.

Thanks Andrew, this is easily one their best tracks and one of my personal favorites. Also check out Wheels of Confusion off the same album. Yes, Bill plays double bass drum starting with this album. Lastly, I suggest you use the term "power triplets" instead of Bonham triplets. Problem solved! This a common way to describe them.

[@Nissardpertugiu]

there s double bass in ending of After forever, in Lord of this world and the fast part of into the void already. But its more subtil. In Vol 4, its more expanded, as following albums

I'm not a drummer, I can't even play a triangle! But I am loving watching you on your Black Sabbath journey of discovery, it takes me back to my own memories of nearly fifty years ago when I first heard Black Sabbath as a young teenager, all the points you are making are why I love Black Sabbath (Osbourne/Butler/Iommi/Ward) they were so different to anything I'd heard in 1974, those first six albums are fantastic. Keep the Black Sabbath reviews coming! I'm sure you have, but if you haven't watched the full 1970 Paris gig, do so, it's my favourite video of Sabbath, albeit with some early versions of the lyrics for songs on Paranoid. I'm sure this video was used for a TV program here in the UK and it included some other footage including nailing the drum kit to the stage, quality!

Great reaction to one of the deep cuts!! I love this song!! Bill Ward is a true unsung hero!! 🤘

[@pingamalinga]

God I love this song. There are a few tracks where Ozzy is more rapping than singing and its so different. Absolutelt incredible. Im getting my vinyl out now.

[@lukemallon4499]

As a musician,may I suggest: Michael Giles (King Crimson and Giles, Giles and Fripp) Christian Vander (Magma -check out Magma Trianon 2000) and 666 by Aphrodite's Child. (As a child who grew up with Sabbath and these -I highly recommend) (oh and Lancaster/Lumley's version of Peter and the Wolf) ❤️🤗

Would love to see additional tracks from master or reality on here.

Amazing, original piece. Imagine.....1972-73. & U hear this. Soooooo heavy. Thanks 4 the share!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Yup I constantly think back to how this was received at the time. Mind blowing

[@markb.8756]

I remember that as I bought this album when it came out. I don't remember thinking anything other than wow....and that Ozzy must have taken voice lessons between MOR and V4!

[@bogdog1755]

Andrew - please don't forget to also react to 'It's Alright' on the 'Technical Ecstasy' album - - - Bill Ward not only wrote the song and plays the drums, but he is the singer too !! Ozzy didn't sing on this one for some reason

[@Masonicbrother]

Guns and Roses covered that song too. Guess Axel loves that song.

[@domenicgalata1470]

They hit a new peak on this record and was the start of a more experimental/ progressive sound that bled in on the following albums Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage and Technical Ecstasy. Can’t wait to hear you dive in to those records.

[@samuelsammington3572]

the b side of volume 4 had to redeem track 3. it was achieved

[@AndyWrasman]

Talking about grunge - I am pretty sure they're the primary influence on Soundgarden. Soundgarden has some Sabbath covers.
