Black Sabbath - Symptom Of The Universe (REACTION)

[@johngiampapa7212]

Such a great song

[@mikeg.4211]

Tony Iommi is a creative genius.

[@humbledb4jesus]

fucking love this song...

[@daveh9335]

Black Sabbath mighty good !

[@pauld669]

IS THAT OZZY ????????? Hell yeah !!!!!!!!!!

[@glennkirchens7970]

Q: Tony, how many riffs will you use in this song? A: Yes.

[@spazimdam]

"That was one of those ones right there". Yeah man, dig it.

[@onepatrioticcat3395]

That classical/ jazz style outro is my favorite Sabbath anything... It's so rich and full of sound it rings....

[@James-vx8ci]

The bass player wrote most of their lyrics, he saw the world quite different than most people. He once said most of his songs came to him in his dreams. ✌️

[@RhetoricalMuse]

Dreams = high

[@mojobag01]

I liked the comment about Ozzy being so soulful.

[@wileyjdraws7594]

One of their best. The definition of heavy metal.

[@leesusphinx7857]

Most heavy metal is cheesy and shit riffs and solos this is way beyond that crap

[@Distant394]

What a track

[@edboycon]

Their first 6 albums had no flaws and no bad songs

Those Ozzy Sabbath albums rarely missed. Amazing ability to bring the sauce.

You can never go wrong with Black Sabbath.

Forbidden begs to differ

[@dannycheesums]

@@FuckKZbinAndGoogle some of Forbidden is alright

[@masterofreality5528]

Never!

[@dizubstylee7993]

First 6 albums anyhow.

[@dannycheesums]

@@dizubstylee7993 I’d go further and say first 10 albums don’t really put a foot wrong. Not many bands do that many good albums in a row, besides maybe Beatles, Pink Floyd and David Bowie

[@SteveoGregg]

The original metal band.

[@gavinschwier8242]

You guys should check out a couple more from Master of Reality album: “Sweet Leaf” and “Children of the Grave” one is an ode to the ganja, the other was covered by White Zombie in the 90s and is super heavy groove.

[@ryanmccall1666]

Yeah Sabbath is notorious for taking their music in new and unexpected directions. Not just song to song but within the songs and it all sounds dope.

[@vicprovost2561]

They are the strongest drug on plane Earth!

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Yep, Planet Caravan..

[@taylorham9532]

@@vicprovost2561 ah i see what you did there ;) (since their name before black sabbath was named earth)

Geezer Butler is a GOD! I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him live, awestruck at that man’s talent

[@bobdelp2023]

MORE FROM THIS ALBUM ( SABOTAGE ) GUYS 😊 MEGALOMANIA, AM I GOING INSANE, HOLE IN THE SKY 😊

[@j_larusta_8825]

Definitely hits harder when the second verse come in. They always switch it up on you. Just when you think you know what’s happening. Also I know what u mean. Even when the notes are high they sound low cause they sound ‘dark’ or more on the lower frequencies which I feel is part of their whole vibe. Thank y’all for doing this.

[@markf.8144]

I dig your reactions to Black Sabbath. I recommend the song "A National Acrobat" from the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album.

[@aronp7097]

At least you guys pick the bangers.

[@mrnobody9104]

no limits when it came to the original Black Sabbath! somehow they always find the groove...............Ozzy's voice was/is spectacular

[@sherel1970]

I agree ☝🏾

[@Steveaux88]

They heard a single bass note over all the drums. One went nutted on the other!

[@alienlifeform7490]

This song is a "true" epiphany. It shocked me the first time I heard it, in my 60s. I was told not to listen to Ozzy as a teen and that continued, more or less, till a few years ago when I started to watch reaction videos. It's amazing to watch you guys respond to this music. So amazing, isn't it? Thank you!!

[@joshoberg9797]

Tomorrow's Dream, Children of the Grave & Into the Void. Keep up the good work.

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

More SABBATH... -Planet Caravan (mellow jam with same Bossa Nova vibe as the end of this Symptom) -Hand of Doom -Orchid/Lord of This World

[@ronaldcrawford9310]

My fave Black Sabbath song...LOL...."Sweet Leaf"...I was a senior in HS

[@BigC.]

As good as it gets. Rockin this song since it came out in ‘75.

[@gbh5912]

Had a brutal metal bar in the early 90s, it had a cd jute box that had a sound system like an arena, put this tune on and the place went ape and many asked.. Who is this???? As the old(er)guy, I was glad to share the music of my early youth

[@richardworton4597]

Smoke a fat one and jam with some Sabbath. Nothing better 😌

[@michaelpetrosino9446]

Hi Guys ... I was fortunate enough to see the original Black Sabbath in the 70s at MSG . The first time the warm up band was Aerosmith , then Ted Nugent & last but not least the original Van Halen. Talk about great shows !!! But B.S. always shine the brightest. They are truly the Father of heavy metal with soul .

[@kubrickshithouse9350]

More Sabbath!! Fairies Wear Boots, Into the Void, the Wizard

[@albertalberico467]

That last break surprise surprise surprise imagine how I felt the first time hearing that 1975 stoned listening to it on my Pioneer 100 watt per Channel🔊🎶

[@T-ShirtMagic]

Pioneer with Craig Quadraphonic Car Speakers? First time both hearing and high at 15 - entire cassette tape was dope!

[@simonpatinorton]

The power is never enough to listen symptom.....🤘

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Although not my favorite Sabbath album, I do think Sabotage was the pinnacle of Ozzy's vocal abillities..

[@pressman1788]

Love your Black Sabbath reactions! 🤘🏻

[@mickduvall1662]

From my fav BS album “Sabotage”. Banger.

[@anthonyblakely399]

Black Sabbath is one of the groups that pioneered Heavy Metal and really inspired Heavy Metal groups of the 90's like Sound Garden and Alice In Chains!!! Really Excellent Band!!!!

[@traviss818]

From my personal favorite Sabbath album, Sabotage. Quite an experiment

[@tralph40]

That ending needs to be its own song man. Nice vibe.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Only Ozzy could sing about love and make it sound evil. 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Love Sabbath

[@gbh5912]

Because it is and Ozzy is true

[@mandomendez5618]

If u guys love lyrics, try After Forever & Lord of this World by Black Sabbath

[@justinatest9456]

If you love lyrics try them all! But those are two great places to start since you got to start somewhere.

[@tjmasson1013]

Those chords never lie!

[@DannKriss]

For something different and ethereal, I highly recommend Black Sabbath's Planet Caravan! Also, they have some beautiful instrumental tracks like Laguna Sunrise and Fluff! Lovin' what y'all do!

[@bpjr1899]

Outstanding............

[@soulpatchjackson3076]

That Sabbath song Baptised ppl!

[@jmalfatto7004]

Great pick. Another banger from a couple of albums earlier (Vol. 4) is Supernaut.

[@SilkyEnchilada]

Gotta give it up to Billy Ward, who was absolutely crushing that snare drum. Crisp. Clean. Tight.

[@vicprovost2561]

With Bill, you would think his drum kit owed him lots of money!

[@spottss]

Aka Billy the Basher! I

[@jaydMANifistation]

I'd like to request Black Sabbath's song Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath. please.

[@ronniefarnsworth6465]

I Always enjoy watching the new "Youts" of the world discovering the great "Best" music of the 1960s & 70s that us Old Baaastards grew up with !!! 😆🎶🎼👍

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

Lol “I was in over my head, I was drowning”! That finish is so good!

[@AirplayBeats]

Yea I was lost for a minute there. Lol That last groove is amazing!!

[@faithcat7675]

Listened to this album driving in the dark through tornados in the south. Perfect music.

[@liftme225]

Early Sabbath started it all in what is called metal. We didn't call it heavy metal in the 70's. We called if effing kick ass music. After Forever lyrically exposes Sabbath as God fearing believers.

[@01Waller]

My favourite BS song. The riff is monstrous, Bill Ward plays like a madman, the lyrics are demented, and Ozzy sings like he just took every drug he could lay his hands on (which he probably did).

[@mr.snicker-doodles7081]

Tony the guitarist chopped off the tips of his fingers in a metal shop accident...as a result uses VERY light strings and tunes WAY down to get that DOOM sound...to this day he wears thimbles on his fingers making it possible for him to play. Tony became a HUGE fan of Django Reinhardt and emulated his style, who he learned was able to play with only TWO fingers after being injured in a fire...

[@pointlessmanatee]

ozzy's vocals on the end are so good

[@darrenmaxwell1085]

Great reaction guys! Black Sabbath was not a band I was into in my teens. I liked Purple but loved Zeppelin. I just didn’t consider Sabbath or Purple on the same level as Zeppelin. I was wrong. I listen to Deep Purple the most now but still, the older I get the more I listen to Sabbath, Purple & Uriah Heep than Zeppelin. Geezer Butler and Bill Ward we’re bad asses!

[@metaphoria3]

That outro groove reminds me of a song called From the beginning by Emerson, Lake & Palmer .. such a dope track

[@rogercaruso9337]

I was waiting for that part to come to see your reaction I know you already filled a video but I'm watching your reaction right now didn't think that was gonna happen did you

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

Sabotage was a great album, Symptom's a great track. Ozzy's voice was very powerful on Sabotage, and he would sing higher than his natural range. My friends and I called it banshee mode way back when. Killer drum fills throughout from Bill. Tony was creeping more towards shredding, faster and more notes in his solos. You guys are super busy, but I would suggest listening to Symptom w/ the Don't Stop Too late 50 second intro song, like it was on Sabotage. Gives the full Sabbath experience better. Thanks again.

[@JosephAscencao]

Black Sabbath is why I'm alive

Bill is incredible on this track

[@hampyonce]

I don't think any body else in the group ever sang. Not even harmonies. Iommi just played the guitar. I'm probably wrong.

[@ryanmccall1666]

Go back to the Paranoid album with Fairies Wear Boots, or check out Ozzy's work on the Harmonica with a song off the debut album, Black Sabbath, song called The Wizard.

Sick ass drum fills from the amazing Bill Ward. He really did set it up for thrash/death/black metal style.

[@krisdoggett483]

Love this song. The changes are so cool. Ozzy does sound a bit like Robert Plant at the end lol.

[@TheSasqwatch]

Best band of all time! All instruments and vocals vibe. And then there are the lyrics.

[@shspurs1342]

They didn’t know what so is about. It’s about the universal love a parent has for a child.

[@uroktim]

You cats kill it every damn time!!!!

[@vicprovost2561]

I love your pic, I have birds, too!

[@EchoesDaBear]

Absolutely LOVE this song (and album, Sabotage) - this and the previous album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath is where the band started to experiment more. They still had some great driving metal grooves, but they dabbled in different instrumentation & styles. Symptom was a perfect example. Couple other great tracks from this are Hole In The Sky, Megalomania & The Writ. From the other album mentioned, HIGHLY suggest: Sabra Cadabra, National Acrobat, Spiral Architect & the title track (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath). If you want something really different in their catalogue, there's a track called Solitude, from their 3rd album, Master Of Reality, that will truly redefine your outlook of Ozzy's voice!

[@MichaelBrown-x1q]

Che, fantastic outlook on those lyrics!!!!

[@kennycamaro2361]

Do Supernaught. I wouldn’t lead you wrong.

[@markgiordonello6710]

heavy metal was born on February 11th 1970 with the release of black sabbath self titled first album....without them there's no judas priest, iron maiden, metallica they are heavy metal personified

[@MichaelBrown-x1q]

This ending is just So Genius!!!!!! Back in the day, most of this song was part of the beginnings of what made Heavy Metal!! Then do a full 360 and best all the Haters who would be saying listen to that loud garbage!!! Blah, Blah, Blah!!! And then showed everyone they really have talent and are musical! And what they did for most of the song was on purpose, not just guys who were limited to just loud amplifiers!!! This song Rules!!! And people just don't realize what a statement is made to the common music listener!!!

[@jeffreyhartley8115]

Please do children of the grave

[@BCHANDLER230]

You MUST check out Spirit's Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus album. Trust me. Try Tracks: Mr. Skin, Morning Will Come, Prelude/Nothing to Hide. (The 1970 album is a rock opera by guitarist/vocalist Randy California, and should be a mandatory part of your journey).
