Not about Jihad. This was 1970. Probably more about the war in Vietnam.

[@KinguCooky]

It was more about mankind in general. At the time the world was fresh with the debacle of the United States playing geopolitical war games to influence its potential foes' next move, yes. It was also a wet fish in the face of the British Empire and its bloody tsunami which conquered the world and which was always going to come back and dilute itself with the flotsam and jetsam of its subjugation of the world.

Metal today is insanely saturated in today’s time. Not to mention it has a different sound and appeal, so I’m not surprised a high schooler doesn’t know Black Sabbath if Metallica or pantera is too old for them

[@oh8wingman]

Crazy Train was Ozzy, not Sabbath. Sabbath was where Ozzy got his start and thanks to Sharon his wife managed to survive long enough to become Ozzy. The sixties and the early seventies were the golden years of rock and it evolution. There was an explosion of bands from England who led the way because most of the musicians came from the slums of London, Liverpool, Birmingham to name a few, and music was one of the few ways out. It was also one of the ways that they could express what they and others thought and their opinions of those who bowed to the status quo.

[@Lichor2369]

Probably one of the only wives (as far as I can recall) that was actually responsible for saving their husband instead of stemming on their downfall.

[@mathewkelly9968]

[@Redsince66]

The members of theses bands, including Sabbath, were the children of WW2 or immediately after. I believe that this was one of the catalysts for the brilliant music that came out of the 60s and 70s. I don’t believe that there was anything like the G I Bill in the UK and times were tough after that war. Adversity breeds survival and creativity.

[@LJA46]

Bands from the early 70's were so far ahead of their time that's why the music lives on. Bands today are destined to be forgotten but I'm glad to see new generations listening to and understanding and learning from these icons!

[@MaskedEnforcer]

The bands that started, or, had a hand in creating the genre of Heavy Metal were Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin (who were more blues and rock than proto-metal) and Deep Purple. All 3 bands from England.....yes Heavy Metal was born in England!

[@thomasjenkins7506]

yep, and it's more of a direct off-shoot of the blues than it is a descendant of rock and roll.

[@victorstefanovsky6902]

I am glad you mentioned Purple because they have equally contributed to modern metal and many people forget that.

[@barqs9522]

It's amazing going back and listening to Black Sabbath and hearing things that they did in the 70s reappear in stuff released even this year. They were so far ahead of their time it's almost unbelievable. And it's not just one sub-genre that they influenced. It's everything. And holy hell, Vin, that connection about sorcery was deep my man. I had never thought about it that way but it makes so much sense. Just when I thought I couldn't respect these guys any more than I already did, here you come swooping in with that to blow my mind. Much love guys! -Jason

[@ryan7864]

[@BlueBarchetta67]

From my hometown in the UK, Birmingham. The sound came form the foundries they worked in as young men, the hammering of hammers and presses had a big influence in there approach to the way wrote music. The guitarist lost his finger tips while working, and thought he'd never play again, but after knocking up some leather tips to put onto his fingers he was able to carry on. Absolute legends.

Crazy Train is from the Ozzy Osbourne solo career....Black Sabbath were formed in 1968 and had heavy blues roots, with a very special sound, far ahead of their time...every song from the first 4 albums (not only Paranoid album) is something special...you can realize that they changed the sound of hard rock as it was until then, and of course the guitarist (Tony Iommi) invented heavy metal with this dark, heavy sound. Keep up the good work Vin and Sori!

[@sammybeck7794]

Tony Iommi said that this song is about war in general. Not necessarily the Vietnam War.

[@suestangel3773]

Yep, they're legends, they were popular but only by some of us at that time. That changed before too long. You got that part of the message, politicians start war but never fight! Black Sabbath grew up in the shadows of WWII in England, where there were bomb sirens and gas masks during WWII... The song is talking about how God will take care of the people that started the wars "the war pigs" in the end.

[@leerights6258]

If you read what he says has nothing do with the Vietnam War has to do with all wars from being of time.

[@chrisnewton5126]

Agreed. Although it's non-specific and could be applied to any conflict, the progression from sirens (the Blitz) to Generals and Politicians (Axis V. Allies) to Judgement Day (Allied Victory & Nuremberg) is striking. That it was released at a time when we were thoroughly sick about Vietnam, certainly had an impact and sent a message that we could relate to.

[@incredulousdisbelief9841]

So very happy you have found the legends, Black Sabbath. My love for Tool extends back to Sabbath, Floyd, and Zeppelin. But also The Rolling Stones as well. I think you will find all of them in time. The mid 60s to mid 70s are so extremely important a time in music. As Christian's it's highly important to separate "satanic music" with legit fear within the context of the times these songs were written, and I appreciate your ability to do so. The height of the Vietnam War. Those horns at the beginning of the song were air raid sirens, something young Brits born in the late 1940s and especially their parents were all too familiar with after the Blitz of World War II. Listen to Floyd's Good Bye Blue Sky for reference. It never fails to bring a tear to my eye when I hear the child's voice at the beginning. But that's for your future listen to The Wall. That said, please understand something about "us leftists". We care a lot about what goes on in the world, and to the people on it. When Kerry made that statement, a decorated war veteran from Vietnam himself, Purple Heart, Bronze Star, he meant that in the context of "please don't let yourself get sent into a war that is based on a lie." What he actually said was poorly worded, yes. But said from an actual veteran who didn't get deferred by his rich father. Someone with experience. That's all I'll say about that. Thank you again for a really good review.

[@VinAndSori]

I feel you on the Kerry thing

[@mikejohnson6762]

You guys may find it useful to watch Metal: A Headbangers Journey by Sam Dunn. Sam is an Anthropologist and metal fan and this is about his exploration into some important themes of the genre. Lots on the Black Metal scene and he created a family tree of metal it is well worth a watch if you have trouble finding it I will mail you my DVD copy

[@HunterVex.]

Without a doubt my favorite documentary. I bet these people would love it! Especially for the last words in it, "maybe it's a pipeline to God"

[@marcuswilson1655]

He also had the show Metal Evolution, which is even more thorough. There's an episode on Extreme Metal, including Black and Death, but it wasn't an official part of the season. And he has a show called Lock Horns, which goes even more in depth into the forefathers of sub-genres, which is part of Banger TV on KZbin. There's also a ton of documentaries on Black Metal just on KZbin. As far as family trees for Black Metal, I think Fenris of DarkThrone did it best. There's a two part video on KZbin somewhere where he fills and entire college chalkboard.

[@lotsathedetox]

I am not a huge Foo fan but Sonic Highways is a great series as well though it covers all genres of rock. They go to different cities to record a new song and each episode chronicles rock history in each city. Plus you get Dave Grohl interviewing all kinds of legends. Good stuff. A Headbanger's Journey is very good and I recommend it as well although it isn't perfect. I feel like Sam is a little biased here and there and he comes across as an extremely nerdy, cynical, snob type but that is just me. He does know his stuff and it is likely the most informative series/show on metal out there. I'd also recommend Get Thrashed. It is all about the history of Thrash Metal. You will learn a lot and be busy for a while lol

[@bretc9644]

I think good music is defined by it's impact through time. This is one of those songs that holds up through generations.

[@Mugthraka]

Funny fact. Toni Iomi the guitarist of the band, worked as a metalurgist when they started the band, and the where just making Beatles covers at gigs and pubs. During a work accident he lost a phalange of his index finger. And so he had to learn to play with this, and to have an easier time, he changed the cords of his guitar to lower ones, but it also gave a heavier tune to it. Wich is what started the trend in rock and Metal to put chords that are heavier and lower to have a real Heavy sound, after that lots of bands that came after did the same, and it was like a real Arms race to see who's gonna have the heaviest chords until today.

[@gnovincejr2]

One word(s) "MasterPiece" "Chills" That reaction when Sori realized it was from 1970 says it all about Black Sabbath!

[@dcinsc]

If you've ever watched the Iron Man movies you have heard Iron Man by them. You probably might recognize the song Paranoid as well. Ozzy once said he started the style of Black Sabbath because Horror movies were so popular that he thought why not make "scary" music.

That part at 13:26 that you are saying you love has always given me a majestic feeling. Kinda like a Majestic march. With the theme of the song being about war mongers having to pay for the blood on their hands, I imagine the poor and those used by the war mongers returning triumphantly.

Most of the band worked in a midlands steel works.this is believed to be where the term 'heavy metal' came from.the guitarist lost the tip of his finger in a work accident.

[@Nick-RiffsPit]

Thus down tuning the guitar to bend notes easier, also led to a darker sound.

[@Bucketbothead007]

Peter Thorsby - The words "heavy metal" were first used in Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild" from 1968, written by Mars Bonfire. The reference is more likely than not, to the roar of a motorcycle engine. It's kind of strange though, that soon thereafter, Black Sabbath exploded on the scene & the true heavy metal thunder was unleashed. Damn near prophetic. :)

[@stawmtroopa1968]

Roadstar1602 Sabbath very much sounded like a heavier Beatles you're right.Especially the lyrics and the way the words were strung together.

[@ehmunro]

Uhhh, Cream had broken up by the time the Beatles recorded Helter Skelter, and that song wasn’t nearly as heavy as Cream’s sound on Disraeli Gears or Wheels of Fire. The Jeff Beck Group v1.0 also predated Helter Skelter (they began releasing singles in ‘67 and in the summer of ‘68 they released the LP Truth), and they were Zeppelin before Zeppelin. Helter Skelter was Paul trying to plumb the harder edged sound of the Yardbirds while merging it with his more pop sensibilities. Good song, metal it ain’t.

10:55 yes, Black Sabbath kinda MADE Metal nearly on their own, at the time it was more commonly called Hard Rock or Heavy Rock, but as more and more bands influenced by them came, it was named Metal. Lots of what Ozzy and Sabbath did at the time was the ground layer for the Metal genre. And what they did was basically, waaaay advanced for the time, thats why it had such and impact on the people and the industry. thats why even if Sabbaths songs are old and maybe "old fashioned" or "kitsch" it is absolutly NOT outdated. Remember Old doesn't mean outdated. Sabbath was a band that in its debuts made Beatles covers in Pubs or small festivals etc, and there was still that 60's rock influence and Hippie vibe, and they said" Fuck that shit", and they made their music heavier and darker, and thats what staretd it all. Well Sabbath wasn't the ONLY ones, bands that started at the same time as them, had the same feeling and the same vision as them, it was a spontanious phenomenon.

She didn't know. No problem, many people don't. But i bet she's heard of Ozzy Osbourne and knows he's a legend, but probably not why. Well, this is it. Black Sabbath. One of the few fathers of metal, all metal.

William Conder It's time to stop!

[@robertmackinnon4414]

heard this song for the first time in 1974,I was 7. the opening 15 seconds changed my life forever

[@johnr7279]

Wow! Y'all got deep into this one. Made watching this quite entertaining.

[@biffmalibu9488]

Great reaction!! One of the best I've watched for this song. Two things...the feeling you got on the outro is something the old blues guys used to call "making the guitar cry". Iommi simply does it in a more powerful, metal style on War Pigs. And I agree, it's mesmerizing. So emotional. But think about when it was written, 1970. The war in Vietnam. So it's a song about war and death and politics. So the band drove home the ending with sorrow. Beautiful. Secondly, Black Sabbath created the modern genre of heavy metal regardless of what anyone might say. Zeppelin was there too for sure. Blue Cheer. But with Sabbath, it was intentional. Hard. Heavy. Scary. I know it scared the shit out of my parents. And what was playing on the radio at that time? The Carpenters. Now there's a contrast! (not that I don't like the Carpenters, I do).

I love your videos and insightful discussions, but Vin man. Saying that liberals think of war fighters as dumb and uneducated is a strawman. The vast majority have no issue with individual veterans, who are immensely brave and deserve respect. It's when the US does illegal military interventions in eight different countries, all in the guise of the war on terror, while further radicalizing their populations and while American boots on the ground die in the process. This blurring of the opposition of the military-industrial complex vs. opposition of individual soldiers is an intentional strategy by the media to divide people who largely agree on the substance.

[@guyinreallife6035]

A-MEN! (if you dont mind an atheist using that phrase) ...we have tremendous respect for anyone willing to serve. it just angers me so much when someone says that liberals "hate america" or "hate the troops" ...we just want the troops to come home. we want peace on earth. why are we in 8 countries now? why are we bombing all these places? I dont support the military industrial complex, I feel sorry for the troops being ground under by the wheels of war.

[@irtb4250]

Guy In Real Life most of the country’s we are at war with right now are in the Middle East or Africa and are pretty bad countries some even with terrorist so if we weren’t bringing troops to these countries they would be blowing up the citizens in the U.S and Europe.

[@banks3407]

Ir The Batman true

[@XLTBlarg]

That's not true at all.

[@irtb4250]

ODIEkriss what’s not true about it

[@charlesm8482]

your so right about the part in this song and the part in fade to Black being similar.. they are practically the same riff.

[@frankenzion0001]

Just listening to the lyrics of this song brings tears to my eyes....every time!

[@Daz5809]

I'm loving listening to you guys. Keep up the good work.

[@ernestrimbeck7630]

Actually

[@Reece_Hart]

Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were also doing similar stuff around this time but all three of those bands were pretty special.

[@dmsnm]

React to Black Sabbath when Dio was on vocals too... Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell, Children of the sea

[@Asgard-1]

Instantly hooked is what this song does to listeners ! Pure truth

[@draycefafner5329]

BTW, I like you guys. You have your own perspective, but you walk with your eyes open, and I have nothing but respect for that.

[@kosmosyche]

Hooray! One of my favourite Black Sabbath songs! Good choice. Next listen to Black Sabbath(song) from their first album Black Sabbath.

[@kosmosyche]

P.S. Wow, you go deep on our asses. Loveit!

[@kosmosyche]

Tbh I have hard time choosing best songs from the first 3 albums. The truth is they are all pure gold.

[@SixSixthSix]

Now it's Time for some Motörhead - Love me like a reptile

[@Kai_kmk]

Great!!! you should check out the live version from Paris 1970. Bill Ward just destroys his drum kit. ACTUALLY.... Crazy Train is from Ozzy's solo career...

[@VinAndSori]

Lol!!

[@peterfhere9461]

Yes, this is that old. Saw them play on October 26th 1970 in the early afternoon, followed by an Emerson Lake and Palmer gig at the same venue the same evening 8-)

[@scottmelunis9562]

You can always tell when Sori likes a song - she closes her eyes and sways to the beat of the music and a smile comes across her face.

[@mcmike5661]

Welcome to the Black Sabbath universe! Nice 2nd Infantry Division shirt.

[@Cosmicdust4]

Some of the best Drumming in the whole wide world! JS Peace

[@rudgerrud6603]

This is more about war in general. It came out during Vietnam. It was somewhat about Vietnam. Just war in General really.

[@johnstarace8369]

Ozzy was the singer of Black Sabbath, he left Black Sabbath and started his solo career. Crazy Train was Ozzy's song off his first solo album Blizzard of Ozz. Other great Sabbath songs; Paranoid, Iron Man, Black Sabbath, The Wizzard, Sweet Leaf, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Ozzy has great solo stuff, check out his solo career

[@Uncle_Dolphin]

props to vin for noticing the badass guitar playing

[@moai834]

Please react to these songs, they are prog masterpieces that we deserve: _Opeth - Ghost of Perdition_ _Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor_ _Haken - Crystallized_ _Symphony X - The Odyssey_ _Dream Theater - Octavarium_ _Between The Buried And Me - White Walls_ There isn't any songs from concept albums in this list. And songs are quite long (8-24 min) I would suggest listen to haken and nevermore first.

[@Sideswipe225]

Death-Lack of Comprehension!

[@Billybib1]

Mrs Grave

[@rockdog2843]

That's a major plus having a partner that loves heavy metal music.

[@pxlmvr7]

This is one of those songs I think of when I try to tell younger people that if you lived in the late 1960s and through the 1970s, that decade had SUUUUUCH ICONIC MUSIC that no decade since can compare. We really got spoiled musically!! There was so much overlap between our black music, and (frankly) black music played by the Brits, folk music, along with the previous generation's jazz mastery and musicianship. It is awesome to kind of experience hearing it again for the first time through you guys . AWESOME :D ...

[@blkhwkbob]

This is one of the best songs ever written. Thanks for the review.
