Black Sabbath - A National Acrobat - ( Hiphop Head Reaction ) 🔥

[@glennkirchens7970]

Q: How many songs can you fit in one song? Sabbath: Yes

[@davem4193]

The bass player Geezer Butler wrote most of the lyrics for Sabbath.

[@abracadabra3033]

Guy was incredibly gifted

[@masediggity]

I guess they say Geezer wrote 90% of the lyrics, mean while Ozzy would come up with pretty much alllll of the melodies. People like to come at Ozz for his lack of writing, but without his sound Sabbath falls to the wayside.

[@mojobag01]

Geezer wrote the main riff to this song as well.

[@metaphoria3]

The way Ozz delivers them tho shout out Geezer

[@MrBaronCabron]

@@abracadabra3033 the funny thing about your comment is your could take out guy for geezer and it'd be the same sentence haha

[@stuarthopkins1308]

"Man I feel that shit." Never a truer word.

[@guslulu4126]

Man, I love these dirty, bluesy guitar riffs with never ending tempo changes, insane drumming that never lets up, and add Ozzys almost haunting, one of a kind voice, singing those dark, mystical, philosophical lyrics and you’ve got the audio crack cocaine that was early Sabbath. It always sounds fresh and relevant and will continue to be discovered and rediscovered for many years to come.

[@abracadabra3033]

I agree , but yes , dirty bluesy exactly it

[@tonyanderton3521]

Spot on, Gus. For me, given the lyric content and Ozzy's unique delivery, that you mention there, I see him as more a preacher than a singer.

[@sammybeck7794]

Your handle abracadabra reminds me of another Black Sabbath song, Sabbra Cadabra. That's another great song to react to.

[@abracadabra3033]

Will do definitely

[@billsouth37]

Fucking love A National Acrobat. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Killing Yourself to Live are another two great picks from the album

[@RazzleDazz72]

And Sabra Cadabra!

[@fuckamericanidiot]

Even by Sabbath standards, it's a God tier creation. It's incredible, the mood, the riffs, the vocals, the LYRICS, the RIFFS, the ATMOSPHERE, the change-ups, bursting with ideas but all flowing, excitement, tension, release, chaos and control in perfect balance.

[@Lemmys_Mole]

My fav Sabbath track & there's no shortage of candidates either! This is my sweet leaf.

[@notalcno9]

Candy-dates. There's enough candy on this album to make you wanna book a date with the dentist.😂

[@richardpennock6448]

Gotta do a reaction to Spiral Architect, my man, from the same album.. Kind of a deep track and freaking amazeballs.. Also Sabbra Cadabra and the title track Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are killer.. Ah hell, anything Sabbath did in the Ozzy days is straight FIRE!!

[@abracadabra3033]

Definitely will do , thank you

[@46lurtz]

dude, i see your Motorhead shirt! F' yeah!

[@lisamorrison2149]

Classic. Yes, its HEAVY! Good choice. I love Ozzies voice in this one, he's bringing his A game. They all are.🔥🔥

[@abracadabra3033]

Indeed

[@davem4193]

Iommi is playing funky AF in this.

[@BlackRoseImmortal]

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage are the pinnacle of Ozzy era Sabbath. I really am not a big fan of the first 2 albums, they are just so basic. The next 2, Masters of Reality and Vol 4 are just preludes to what they were bringing with Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and Sabotage. Sabotage in my opinion is the best, LOVE that album.

[@benpotaka5893]

First 6 then the downfall imo

[@maddog75a]

Vol4 is the best metal album ever. The template for anything sludge that came after. Sabotage is a close second.

[@mikegoin6023]

Liked it before I even watched. Some things you just know LOL If I was stuck on a deserted island and could only listen to one band it would be Sabbath.

[@abracadabra3033]

Totally agree

[@alldayadventures5418]

Back in the Day, there were no HEADPHONES. This music must be experienced on a very loud stereo. You miss all the bong shaking base and drums that come from everywhere.... We would play this music as loud as possible so all the neighbors would here it. There is nothing like this Music shaking every window, table door in the house. Scares the crap out of ya...

[@mrtyreus0]

Nothing can compare to being able to feel the music, no exception.

[@carolynfreiwald708]

Yes there were headphones. I know I was there with them on.

INTO THE VOID.... my fave Sabbath tune. Check it out bro

[@originalpottsy]

My brothers put me onto Black Sabbath when I was about 13 when the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath vinyl came out to the disgust of my parents and to my awakening. Sitting in my bedroom with a portable record player was the beginning of my musical education. Still have the songs on my playlist 50 years later. Still have the vinyl too 😁 it was a huge moment and much different to the first record my mum bought me - Nancy Sinatra "these boots were made for walking". Don't have that vinyl any more.

[@chrisw3421]

More MUSIC people will still be listening to 100 years from now.

[@tracythehippiechick]

Instant party just add Black Sabbath...This never sounds old to me...Another great choice..

[@TravellersTrousers]

Black Sabbath what a band! Proud to say they are from my home town of Birmingham U.K. Love the channel man 🍻

[@abracadabra3033]

🍻, thank you

[@montag4516]

That was a killer track, and the whole album is great. But the real knockout from that album is the title track "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath". Somewhat of an epic in it's own right. I expect you'll react to it in time. This was their 5th studio album and by this point were dealing with all the excesses and trimmings, as well as the trappings, of big name rock stardom. Really enjoy your attuned, yet equally relaxing, reactions. There's an almost meditative atmosphere to this channel, which is a welcomed gift in contrast to all the external worldly madness. Peace.

[@abracadabra3033]

I truly truly appreciate that sincerely , and i definitely will be reacting to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath ✌🙏

For sure

[@MrGremlin69]

I'm lucky I grew up when I did

[@davidmastro5406]

Abracadabra, great choice--one of Sabbath's greatest songs! Tony Iommi is one of Rock music's geniuses. He played in blues bands in England, prior to Sabbath. His career nearly ended before it really started, when he lost the tips of two fingers on his fret hand, during an accident while working in a machine shop. He contemplated giving up music, but then he recalled the great jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt, who played incredibly, despite the fact that he was missing some fingers. So Iommi figured out a whole new way to play; he wore rubber thimbles on his damaged fingers, used lighter-gauge strings on his guitar, tuned it down, etc. In the end, the heavy distorted guitar sound that Iommi pioneered, initially described as "Atomic Blues", came to be known as "Heavy Metal".

[@abracadabra3033]

Atomic Blues , i like that too

[@davidmastro5406]

@@abracadabra3033, I wish the "Atomic Blues" name had stuck. I think it is far more descriptive of the music that Sabbath made.

One of Sabbath's best deep cuts Seconding Spiral Architect. This whole album's great- One of their best. Check out Sabbra Cadabra as well.

[@lsdlocks4673]

I'm 62. It's still one of my all-time favorites. Tony Iommy is a master on his guitar, and don't forget, he plays with prosthetics. They are all great and combine they are just one big explosion of muses.

[@notalcno9]

Ditto.

Solidarity, old school. Solidarity.

Black Sabbath - spiral architect

[@tonyanderton3521]

I always read the lyrics to this song to be about reincarnation. However, according to the songwriter, Geezer Butler, himself, the lyrics contemplated the mysteries of birth. He said that "A National Acrobat was just him thinking about who selects what sperm gets through to the egg". Spiral Architect is about DNA. Anyway, a great song. Another great reaction, man. Best wishes from England.

[@bobothefrigginclown]

I think its fairly obvious that the song is sung from the point of view of an unborn child who "Destroyed the empty spaces" by filling up an empty womb [you destroy an empty space by filling it]. the child has gone through many reincarnations (I've lived a thousand times), as will all people (Don't believe the life you have will be the only one). the line (When little worlds collide I'm trapped inside my embryonic cell) means the 'collision' of the sperm and egg, at which point the soul forgets its past life (And flashing memories are cast into the never ending well). the lines (Curtain of the future falls, the secret stays unknown) simply mean that the soul forgets the previous life with each new life. the baby tells us that it is necessary to die so that we can move on to our next life (You have to let your body sleep to let your soul live on), and advises us at the very end of the song to love each other, to live our lives fully, and look forward to our next life. the song has excellent lyrics, really quite positive and inspirational, and even more impressive having come from a heavy metal band.
