@@dkmiller8420 As a drummer I see both sides here. Those of us who know and who appreciate drummers, will never underrate Bill Ward. Yet, Bill -- along with dozens of great drummers like Phil Ehart, Steve Upton, Floyd Sneed, Danny Seraphine and others -- is rarely included in "best of" lists. There you will find the usual, like Charlie Watts (meh), Neil Peart, etc. Bill should always be on these lists. Since he is not, we can say he is "underrated".

[@dkmiller8420]

@@boomer3150 I can see the point you are trying to make but when someone says, someone is underrated we have to look at the big picture. People very rarely know the name of drummers in bands. Only base players and keyboard has less recognition. If you are not the front man or woman you don't get the love. Think of Janice. She had phenomenal backing, but nobody knows their names, they were just Big Brother and the Holding Company. So, we have to go to those in the know to know who is underrated or who is not and there are no drummers or drum fans alive who do not know and appreciate Bill Ward.

AT the age of 13, in 1971, I hadn't heard any Black Sabbath songs, because the AM radio station in my town only played top 40. But, my older brother, who was a drummer in a rock band, went on tour, and he brought me his entire record collection to safe guard while he was away. One afternoon, I was searching through the hundreds of albums and saw this one, and placed it on the turntable, and placed the needle on the groove. This was the first song. I don't believe that I listened to another song on the album. I just kept lifting the needle up at the end of this and starting it over again. Over and over. I knew there were protest songs. The war was going full strength. I worried that my brother would be drafted. This song effected me at the time when adult issues were becoming known to me. All of the music of that time was resonating in all of us.

You’ll never find another band like Sabbath. Definitely one of the innovators of heavy-metal. If not the innovator. There are some other good ones deep purple and a few other ones that were really hard really early on. You can imagine what people thought when the stuff came out in 1970. No one had ever heard anything like it. Parents wouldn’t let their kids listen to it. They thought it was all devil music. A lot of people still do lol it’s actually mostly the opposite they talk about how drugs are bad God is good and war and big government are bad. Sounds like they are spot on to me. The riff is so hard in this song and Bill Ward beat the drums like they owe him money. The baseline all through it is so deep. Ozzie‘s vocals are perfect in this. I grew up on it and it has never gotten old. It’s always been a jam and it’s always going to be. Sabbath is different

I'm leaning more towards hard rock,than heavy metal. But it would be the grandfather of the heavy metal generation, probably starting with JUDAS PRIEST. But that's just kinda how I look at it. Then the real Heavy Metal starts with bands like METALLICA. Speed metal and thrash metal along with the Satanist groups I don't really consider Heavy metal,more of a branch genre type, ya know. I moved to L.A. in the late 80's for about 10 yrs. and the hair bands kinda fu&$#@ things up for awhile till hard rock and metal broke the bonds and got rock music mostly back in line.

My mind was blown then as a 10 year old. It's still as good to me in my 60's. I've been a fan most all my life.

My guys check out the 1970 live in Paris version of this song, it is beyond savage! Bill Ward on drums will make your heads explode. Black Sabbath is legendary for bringing people that love great music together. Thanks for the great video!

I saw them live in the 70’s with an Aerosmith opening in NYC.. one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to…

Do the live version from 1970 - The video you watched has nothing to do with Sabbath. It was a fan made video
