🎵 Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe REACTION

[@Davan1331-x1p]

Black Sabbath is my favorite GENRE !!

[@uranusismightybig5111]

I dont always listen to Black Sabbath, but when I do, so do the neighbours

[@slimsantilli4476]

One time I was listening to Sabbath. My Neighbor threw a brick through my window so they could hear it better.

[@DougEfresh.]

That's hilarious

[@andreasfahlen4936]

😂

[@andreasfahlen4936]

@Cursed Chest you laugh every time ?

[@tyronesharp401]

You shoulda turned it up. Be more considerate next time.

[@shandonsahm3343]

Did he fix or pay for the broken window?? LoL 🤣

[@Xman156]

What amazes me is that the first part of the song sounds a lot like thrash metal from the 80s (Metallica, Anthrax, etc). No other metal band in the 70s sounded quite like this. They were truly ahead of their times!

[@Undertaker5083]

Any genre of metal can be traced back to Black Sabbath

[@bothellkenmore]

I was thinking punk.

[@electricwizard3000]

Also '70s Priest.

[@Infyra]

Deep purple has some songs that are fast and thrashy too. Galloping riffs etc.

[@svekkapung]

@@Infyragalloping riffs isn't thrash

[@Cadinho93]

This song is an example of "every genre of metal was created by Black Sabbath." Also, Bill Ward beat those drums like they owed him money.

[@grahamstubbs4962]

Naughty innit?

[@rayray-xs6xu]

And I'm sure he collected it with interest!

[@Nissardpertugiu]

A lot of Speed thrash power stuff comes from Purple. Not Sabbath

[@pinkled4429]

@@Nissardpertugiu not nearly as heavy as Sabbath. Thrash is literally described as "punk + Sabbath"

[@Nissardpertugiu]

@@pinkled4429 Deep Purple in Rock is more agressive than the 2 first Sabbath records. Try that , and listen the riffs and the drumming, Speed King, Bloodsucker, Flight of the rat, Hard Lovin Man, Fireball ( double bass ) ... Sabbath was slow and gloomy. Purple was fast and bombastic. Neither Sabbath , Zeppelin, Heep played like this

[@javalily]

This song emphasizes how talented each member is. Bill is tearin it up on the drums, Geezer cuttin loose on the bass, Ozzy belting out those lyrics, and Tony shredding those cords.

[@bryanm7953]

The band "Impellitteri" featuring Guitar God Chris Impellitteri does the absolute best version of this. They play it so damn well it makes this version sound unfinished, incomplete. Look it up here on youtube they did a video for it. Even the most diehard Sabbath fans will like it.

[@michaelduran8627]

[@bryanm7953]

[@hakaigonzalez7253]

Iommi and page are my fav guitarist due to their ability to create a sick memorable riff.

[@adriangreene2899]

The greatest metal song ever written. I’m so jealous that you get to hear it for the first time. Absolutely brilliant album.

[@gabechavez4387]

Yes!!!!!!

[@geoffbarnes9198]

Agreed, I remember Tony Iommi saying Sabbath Bloody Sabbath was the pinnacle. A great album for sure but I think it could just as easily be Sabotage.

[@justthefacts9374]

SABOTAGE ‼️ HARD ROCKS HOLY GRAIL ‼️‼️

[@Holdfast-]

It's always wild to me to think this song is nearly 50 years old

[@terrylandess6072]

While time continues to pass, I've realized that I'm anchored to a specific point in it and while the passing of time blows me forward like the wind on a sail, I'll always be here, in these moments which define my time on earth.

[@alanh.7668]

First album by them I bought new! I'm old, lol.✌✌

[@CALLAHAN19]

I know good buddy it's crazy... I understand that the year I was born doesn't matter, but born this year 1973 album an now turning 50 when after watching Rock n roll crash in 1995 we will never come across anything like this ever... Ozzy scared the shit out of me as a kid in 1979- 83... Then you become of age of reason...

[@johnnielsen2025]

Why did you have to say that. I saw them live when this album came out in NYC. God I'm old.

[@PollyTheWog]

Sabbath has aged really, really well.🤘🏽

[@SeeJayPlayGames]

the music, and even the band itself... in fact, all of the founding members are still alive; a rare occurrence for rock stars. Although Ronnie James Dio is no longer with us, he was not a founding member. Fun fact: of the founding members, "Geezer" Butler is actually the youngest. In Cockney slang, "geezer" is kind of like "dude" in the USA; it doesn't have the connotation of someone who is old.

[@bigozimak]

Polly The Wog 😂 LMFAO You're not from Australia 🦘 are you, because I too am a proud Aussie Wog! And yes indeed, Sabbath music really has aged well!

[@paulrogers4483]

Come on Brad buddy, Im a 56 yr old metalhead with arthritis and can still headbang....YOU CAN DO IT LOL Thank you for hitting this one. This has my favorite ending to a Sabbath song ever. I honestly didn't think Iommi had it in him to play like this and was genuinely shocked and so pleased when I first heard it. Can we talk about Ozzy's vocals and Bill Wards drumming in this? STELLAR to say the least. I'm hoping you'll one day get to "Thrill Of It All" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIvUlmaMprqkqs0 It's one of my favorites of theirs. Peace

[@klaptongroovemaster]

The Nod is more chill, and still scratches that itch. And my pick for a Sabbath song they haven't done yet is Warning from the first album. The guitar solo is epic.

[@Bushanie24]

this album, oooof so very good

[@electricwizard3000]

Bang that head that does not not bang!

[@Wither81]

In my opinion this is one of the greatest ”metal” tracks of all time.

[@andrewforrest9980]

Undoubtably. A masterpiece in every sense of the word.

[@terrylandess6072]

This song plows through anything in it's path. When the end of the song approaches it punches a hole though that and invites us to follow. What we find is beautiful.

[@captaincapitalism264]

What a great description...thank you.

[@sbollin4321]

Probably one of the best riffs of all time.

[@uslegions2619]

Sabbath could write incredibly simplistic riffs that were so effective.

[@MrShadowofthewind]

Probably ? Really ?

[@alanh.7668]

@@MrShadowofthewind The last riff in "The Writ" kills me! So many great ones, I can't pick a favorite riff, lol✌✌

Which one ? 😄

[@metalmark1214]

The Grandfathers of metal, Black Sabbath, with another banger of a song.

[@victorjohnson7512]

Bill Ward was one of the greatest rock drummers ever. I love how they transition into a Cuban Rumba beat after the big guitar solo.

[@ZalMoxis]

This is one of their heaviest tracks off one of their best albums..... Sabotage.

[@playbassken]

This is Black Sabbath at the pinnacle of their abilities individually and as a band. What a great song for you two to hear!

[@eastcoastaj5048]

"It's just like a wavelength, and once you get on that wavelength you get the music." YES! You get it! Black Sabbath, specifically the first five albums, worked on a wavelength, a frequency and as long as you get that you get their music. It ain't just about heavy riffs and dark Imagery.

[@drew2806]

First 6 albums. Sabotage should be on that list

[@jeffreyflint6286]

This is another reason Black Sabbath was and is top shelf rock and roll.

[@dwarf8701]

The whole album is just stunning. 🤘

[@marstegreg]

Black Sabbath=G.O.A.T

[@dambo8416]

[@ronaldmilner8932]

I remember playing this in my bedroom when I was a teen back in '74 or '75! Great memories!!

[@davidmeir9348]

Finally, my favorite Sabbath song. The first time you hear it comes as a complete surprise because you absolutely don't anticipate the 180 turn the song takes. That jam is just sooo good, i wish it was longing for several minutes more.

[@md6119]

finally Brad is trying to move his head...!!! love you both.

[@andyj639]

That complete change at about 5:10 is just astonishing, further illustrates the utter brilliance and vurtiosoity of this legendary band. The last part, the music wouldn't be out of place on a Cafe del Mar compilation. Just incredible.

[@greekpapi]

Their first 5-6 albums were all GREAT!!! Truly ahead of their time..........

[@ssRocker-nn3tp]

Definitely.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

Great to see Lex jamming out to some Sabbath again! She's definitely on the right wavelength!!

[@bakerman10]

Lex cracks me up! And just by looking at these recent videos, you can't tell she is almost gonna have a baby! She looks great. Also, Brad is really coming around to listening to the music as opposed to just the lyrics.

[@klaptongroovemaster]

Nod, don't bang, Brad. It's way more chill, but still scratches that itch.

[@peterreist2882]

Bill Ward 🙌

[@anthonyg813]

Sometimes we forget how good music is for your soul. Watchin Lex gettin into this masterpiece reminded me of exactly that.

[@Jeff-yt3qp]

Drumming absolutely amazing 🥁

[@moonwind6303]

I bought this album when it came out in 1975 and it was way before there was any headbanging or even the concept of "metal". Just pure, raw and hard rock. Almost hippie-like if you ask me. I was sold from the first note of this epic album. Thanks for bringing it up! 💝

[@Ed9870]

Their last really great record with Ozzy. Lex was on their wavelength, and she wasn't alone.

[@vicprovost2561]

Yep, been on that wavelength since 1970, it just keeps getting better with all sorts of people catching on. They will never die, immortals all!

[@glennkirchens7970]

Yea!!! You guys did it!!!! Sabbath never dissapoints. See Ozzy can sing his ass off. The beginnings of thrash metal. Lyrics are all Geezer on this one. Sabbath can go from braking your neck to making you boogie. They will never get the respect they deserve.

[@TheRealMirCat]

Brad, yes the wavelength thing is true for all music. I used to hate hate Fiona Apple's music. Then I saw a live version she did of "After You've Gone" on youtube and it just clicked and I got it. Went back and listened to her other stuff and it sounded so different after I understood what she was doing.

[@jakedee4117]

These guys are HEAVY like uranium heavy, next do "Hole in The Sky". That's like plutonium.

[@wm.g6664]

Definitely Sabbath’s all time best LP

[@charlessalvatore3735]

From The " Paranoid" album, Master of reality, Vol. 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, I've never seen again 4 albums that were as incredible that each one raised the bar each time. Between '70-"74 they were the leaders of the movement that would be known as " Metal ". ♥️🇬🇧

[@pinkled4429]

The first album wasn't any less. The self titled track, NIB, behind the wall sheep, Evil Woman

[@genebarker3624]

I think sabotage is one of the best albums ever. You might want to do The Writ next.

[@mdunawaym]

I'm so glad you mentioned that it reminded you of symphonic music! I have long seen a connection between much of Black Sabbath and classical in that there are different movements in their songs.

[@DonnieRockett]

Lex seems to blend trying to dance along to the music with playing air guitar, strumming with her head.

[@powerface71]

You guys should react to Sepultura's cover of this song, HOLY SHIT IS IT HEAVY!!!!

The Sepultura cover cranks the aggression up to 11.

This song is badass. Hell the band is badass. (The Dio days also) The end of this one is fantastic though. 🤌🤘 people forget or never knew black sabbath started off as a blues band.

[@patches6309]

Brad needs to sign up for Headbanging 101 class on KZbin University! This classic from Sabbath is Incredible & you both gave some great insight on listening to this great song for a first time! I love how music effects everyones perspective & opinion differently, almost personally?

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

When you put this song on one of your playlists, as you must, always include the song before it: Don't Start Too Late. It's very short, and kind of a great contrast/intro to this song. A very Sabbath bunch of mood changes. After you've reacted to all the songs from Sabotage (except Insane), you'll have to go back and listen to it all, it's one of their greatest. Ozzy's voice is so strong on this album, and it's full of great songs and riffs, and killer Bill Ward playing.

[@shaynequisenberry8884]

One of the greatest bands ever

[@JamienautMark2]

This is probably one of my favorite songs but theres a 50 second song called “Don’t Start too late” that builds this song up even better imo. This whole album though gives me energy
