Black Sabbath - Embryo/Children Of The Grave (REACTION)

[@chrisrobison6469]

Who ever decided to put that drum overlay in it back then was a genius!!

[@mojobag01]

Bill.

[@michaelhasse2568]

Remember, this was 1971, nothing else like it at the time

[@RoRo-vr6wx]

Now this is what I'd say the first true heavy metal album not the first two, the down tuning changed the game!

[@kevinmiller7408]

Seeing Bill Ward do this live is crazy, I swear he turns into some kind of octopus/human hybrid while playing. Sure I was pretty wasted but dude was amazing.

[@sirbobloblaws]

These guys understand Sabbath better than I ever did, and that's why this is the best reaction channel going today.

[@robertlavorna2968]

i agree, they get it!!

[@mattsabath]

I’ve been listening to Black Sabbath for over 40 years. I personally don’t have a favorite song because there’s too many great ones but this is up there. I would have no argument if someone said this was their best or favorite song. As far as I’m concerned, there’s Sabbath and every other band can for form a line for 2nd best.

[@cweefy]

The first time I heard this I was smoking weed, in the dark, alone and wearing headphones. Scared the shit outta me😅

[@robertpetre9378]

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Riff in children of the grave inspired a lot of thrash metal it definitely has that kind of rhythm 🥁

[@rustycamaro]

Bill was beating those Toms like they owed him money.

[@mattsabath]

They do indeed trick your brain. Well said. Love the channel.

[@jaquestraw1]

One of Sabbath's greatest tracks for sure 💜

[@adam872]

Sabbath and tritones, it's match made in heaven. Man this is a heavy track.

[@SteveoGregg]

You dudes are tha best ✌️🤟

[@jasonrichardson1208]

This album is 🔥

[@Jer6691]

Incredible song!!! -Jer

[@rebeccatyrrell-zn6kt]

Bill Ward was going crazy on this, he definitely owned this

[@mrnobody9104]

Sabbath were true innovators, we all bow to their originality and prowess at every position....

[@majones501]

I have always loved this song. The somewhat slow whining rumble with the rolling drums echoing aver everything, and then Ozzy’s sound and cadence just blend together into a beautiful sound that hits you deeply. Sooo great. I was thinking about how our parents absolutely hated Black Sabbath, assuming they were a satanic force (we loved that they thought that!). Mine just knew I was going to hell. Paranoid was the first Sabbath album (8-Track) that I owned, so the songs on that one were my first love, but Children of the Grave jumped up near the top of my list the first time I heard it. It is really hard (impossible) for me to point to any one song in their Ozzy era as being my favorite, but this is sure up there.

[@mojobag01]

Prediction: The boys lose their minds when they do Snowblind.

[@bleubaker]

lol that’s truth

[@mojobag01]

@@bleubaker We nailed it.

[@RazzleDazz72]

Yeah they totally did. They liked Vol 4 the least, they said. But Snowblind blew them away.

[@idrcc6263]

@@mojobag01I was waiting for them to react to it🤣. One of their best best best songs and the change ups in it are insane so you guys did nail it

[@danmayberry1185]

Embryo is in the old English folk style, heard in Jethro Tull (who courted Iommi pre-Sabbath), Yes, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and a whack of UK bands.

[@Irockthere4]

They tricked so many people into thinking they were evil devil worshipers. Haha jokes on the listener. These are well thought out positive lyrics from Geezer. Great job guys

[@BigTimeRushFan2112]

All hail the mighty Black Sabbath!

[@ZalMoxis]

The ultimate grunge guitar..... you need to see the live at California Jam 74 film clip of them doing this song......

[@wileyjdraws7594]

Sabbath bloody Sabbath is an experimental album.

[@markstearns8029]

One of my all time favorite Saboth songs💯❤️💪🏽

[@nancysmith38]

Love the drums on this song.

[@weshart6139]

Love Bill Ward’s drumming on this track. He pushes this song hard the entire way.

[@mojobag01]

Tony lost the tips of his second and third fretting fingers to a steel press on his last day of work before quitting to play in a touring band. He very nearly gave up.

[@rlwetz4317]

He also joined Jethro Tull... ...for all of four days! 😄

[@deadreckoningplot]

Resulting in down tuning his strings for less tension and ease on his fingers. So he got the heavy sludge sound and created heavy metal.

[@mojobag01]

@@deadreckoningplot This was the album where they started to detune. This is C sharp and Sweet Leaf is D. They do come back up to E flat or just straight E by Technical Ecstasy.

[@joenorris5648]

This entire album is in C#

[@fenderchamp8241]

Especially after he told his mom he didn't want to go to work that day. She made him.

[@robertlavorna2968]

simply put, all 4 guys are among the greatest ever in what they do, ive listened to hard/metal mostly in the 80s and it makes my ears bleed....the innovation, the creativity, and original but never duplicated sound has stood the test of time with me ....and im 70!!

[@clasmaster1471]

Yeah you’re not gonna find any music like that ever again. Honestly how cool is it?!! I’m just glad we get to go back and listen to it whenever we want! Appreciate the video!

[@steveayres49]

My fave Sabbath album. An absolute masterpiece

[@bflo1000]

Mine too. It edges out Paranoid.

[@Sirknight47]

at age 16 I had cracks in my plaster walls the exact shape of my speakers from playing master of reality tape and war pigs etc. I'm amazed I can still hear well:) great reaction, always like to hear what you too are thinking about songs etc. Steven

[@erichahn-h7r]

I love watching you guys listen to Sabbath for the first time! They still give me goosebumps 35 years after I started listening but to be able to hear them again for the first time…Fucking jealous!! Love your reaction clips!

[@charliejaworski2562]

This is "Shakin' your head with your eyes closed" music. That's what I do to this song, that's certainly what you guys did. Cheers and happy New Year fellas!

[@inmyhouse11]

Killer song from the best Sabbath Ozzy album.

[@Sammylu-greenbeatsred]

Tony Iommi put in his notice to quit his job and on the last day he was just going to stay home but his mother demanded that he go for his last day and that's when the accident at work happened. The tips of his 2nd and 3rd fretting fingers on his right hand (left handed guitar player) got caught in a steel press. Tony made special coverings for his fingers and used lighter strings so he could play. He is one of my all time favorites.

[@tosseddwarf]

If Tony Iommi's story isn't the best example of a true music legend, I don't know what is.

[@robertherring9277]

I was born the year this was dropped. I did the 70's, 80's up to today... and it looks like we lost... we are Children of the Grave. Btw my fav Sabbath tune... herd it in utero with headphones... thanks Mom!

[@NandR]

Growing up I always thought Sabbath were nothing but devil worshippers. But most of their songs are about peace and love and getting high.

[@rlwetz4317]

Ozzy wrote in his autobiography that they used to rehearse across from a cinema. The lines were always longest for the midnight creature features (...their name itself coming from a B-movie...), and that's when Tony Iommi decided he should make with the horrorshow riffs. 😄

[@rg7594]

You guys are by far the best reaction channel genuinely love music and understand what's going on

[@alphajava761]

Great album.

[@vinasel96]

Just imagine what the flower child thought! lol

[@johncanning731]

Great reaction!! Love Black Sabbath!! I hope you and your family had a great Christmas.. and have an awesome New year..God bless!! Shout out from the old metal head from Detroit!! Peace and love..

[@gavinschwier8242]

This was one of my first Sabbath tunes, and I’ve always thought it was harder than anything. Dio era Sabbath is a whole new beast, you need to listen to “Heaven and Hell” it’s a ride.

[@williamclifford6112]

Now you guys are getting into the better produced albums from Sabbath!!.. keep going it gets much better.

[@destinyreelly2974]

❤🎉❤🎉 Bill Ward was a beast!!!!

Thanks!

Masters of their craft. A fine tuned formula that helped shape a whole genre of music. Unbeknownst to them

Love your Sabbath reaction ☮️🇦🇺🇺🇸

[@stefan.911]

Just great!

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

…….my parents wouldn’t let me play my Black Sabbath albums at home when they were home…..😢 but when they left the house, I made sure our neighbors could hear it 🤣😂🤣 especially the 1st three albums…..70’s were the best ! Remember buying this album on release, bringing it home and playing it over & over for a straight week with headphones. Probably why I’m hard of hearing today ! 🤘🏼

[@mwfmtnman]

Hah. In 78 I dove into my mother's albums. Sabbaths were the first I listened to. She had nothing to say, lmao

[@powellpatterson4928]

You guys break it down spot on.

[@SeasonedCitizen99]

Love your reactions! Keep up the great work.

[@stevesuttie2644]

I think you guys are going to love the groove of Lord of this world. Great reactions thx!

[@johntheisen6791]

Great song everyone knows Black Sabbath are the Godfathers of Metal. But it’s time to expand on more Sabbath. Here’s one I know y’all will enjoy. Black Sabbath album is Born Again and the song is Disturbing the Priest.

[@thefunkybuddha69]

I love this album!!! So glad you're reacting to these tracks.

[@FrankieLeeFrancis]

those triplet toms are overdubbed. Yes, you gotta hear "After Forever"

[@chrisrobison6469]

That drum overlay just makes it

[@ryanmccall1666]

Another sick track off this album is called Lord of This World. It comes in MEAN and beats you like a red headed stepchild the whole way through. Check it out.

[@gratuitousfootnote1183]

4:02 That's the death blow! One of the heaviest, if not THE heaviest, moments in all of rock music!

[@robertdawson8522]

Their early music including the bands name heavily influenced from the scary movies from the old days.Stuff like Vincent Price and Bela Lagosi

[@joescott8877]

LOL, 4:02 Love the reaction where u guys dig the sludgy, ominous "patented" Sabbath Slowdown! And that Horror Movie bit at the end!

[@emilymartinez6961]

Saw them soooo many times in concert and this was one of my favorite songs that they would play, we would go absolutely crazy over it and they would play it for about 13 to 15 mins...Best times ever🤘🎶

[@philiplangenhorst9851]

Good reaction! 👍You have to check out Black Sabbath with the singers Dio and/or Martin. Then you will see and hear an other good side of Black Sabbath.

[@KennyCamaro2364]

Go Laa, Go Chee! Back to the good stuff! My fave!

[@ast3663]

Tony Iommi lost his fingertips in an accident back in the metal factory..he replaced it with leather tips and tuned the guitars down for easier playing, thats Sabbaths sound origin basically.

[@mamaflush9945]

Here's another suggestion for another new group to give a listen, if interested. "Talking Heads - Burning Down The House (2005 Remastered)" (by the channel: Talking Heads) --Talking Heads is a band that was formed in 1975 in New York City. The band was composed of David Byrne (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Franz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass), Jerry Harrison (keyboard, guitar). This band has been described as one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the 80's. Talking Heads helped to pioneer the new wave genre of music, by combining elements of punk, art-rock, funk and world music and dressed it up in a clean-cut image. Always enjoy rocking with you both. thanks for sharing. peace out~

Sou do Brasil e sempre assisto os vídeos de vocês, especialmente os do Black Sabbath. As reações de vocês dois são muito boas. O Tony iommi perdeu as pontas dos dedos em um acidente de trabalho, vocês conseguem ver com mais detalhes no livro do próprio guitarrista.

Those drums in the background are separately done, then mixed in. But live he does a great job throwing some in, and it sounds really good!

It was his last day at the factory when his hand slipped on a shear and cut his fingertips off.

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction guys! Happy New Year! Amazing track...one of their heaviest - love it! Master Of Reality is an incredible album. BUT if you think that Sabbath doesn't have any surprises, well, just keep going through this album...and check their track Solitude!! As for experimentation, we will get there! It begins on their Vol. 4 album (Wheels Of Confusion, Under the Sun), continues on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (Sabbra Cadabra, Spiral Architect, National Acrobat, Who Are You?), and Sabotage (Hole In The Sky, Megalomania, Supertzar, The Writ...) They remained heavy (oh boy did they), but they experimented! Cheers.

[@lauraulnye6857]

Love these two songs together. The drums are amazing on this!!!!!❤❤❤ Also check out Lord of this world❤ Into the void❤❤

One time on special fungus, I had a vision of Bill Ward not using drums & sticks, but beating on human skulls with his fists, and that's never left me.

[@georgetaxi8179]

Killer song! I think you skipped over the song After Forever. Its a great tune with very surprising lyrics. They were tired of being called Satanists, so in retaliation, Gezzer Butler wrote a very pro Christian song. It's one of my favorites

Smooth Brothers. I changed my account and know I reacted to this but see you holding your head set. If you have 4 speakers sit in the middle the drum tap that goes from right to left will surround you in a circle. I’m sorry I can’t explain but the tap goes around.

One thing the English rockers put in their music that you can hear sometimes; is the Old English folk. It's in their blood. Some old American rock as well along with the others.

[@JefferyJaynes]

Great reaction guys. Have you noticed how Gezer doesn't just follow a bass line in the back, he's up-front playing guitar licks with Tony and then he'll also play off Bill's drums. I don't know any other bass player that plays all that. Thanks guys

[@Zennofobic]

che's face at the very end 🤣

[@andychisarick6879]

You guys love Sabbath's many mid-song changes & whatnot, the best example is the title track from the album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. I've read that some of rock's all-time best musicians still consider that Sabbath's masterpiece. Anyway you haven't gotten to that album yet but nobody will blame you if you skip ahead a little bit...

[@austinpinnow1218]

I can't wait for you to do the black sabbath with Ronnie James Dio albums especially heaven and hell album

[@joescott8877]

Like most right-thinking people, they would really dig the album, and especially lose their minds over the title track.

[@paullohrisch257]

When Tony was trying to play after his finger injury, his fingertips were quite tender as you can imagine. To make it easier to play, he detensioned (detuned) the strings. I believe this is the unique black sabbath sound you are talikng about.

[@andychisarick6879]

He also switched to smaller slimmer strings that he didnt have to push down so hard on...and god knows what else he did...
