Can we just have a moment to appriciate Bill Wards drumming skills?

Always have time for Bills drumming.

Phenomenal drummer to be sure!

SLEEP - Dopesmoker definitely takes 2nd place.

[@Easy_Skanking]

Sabbath gave birth to the genre of stoner metal with this song. 🤘🤘

[@Milius47]

Best song about weed. And, Sleep is practically born directly from this song, so it stands to reason they have such a great weed song, as well.

[@jimbuchanan4882]

In an interview geezer butler once said he and toni iommi were sitting at a table working on some riffs. Ozzy was sitting on a couch rolling a huge joint and as he twisted it up, he began talking to it as if it were a lover. The two listened for a few minutes and geezer began writing down some of what ozzy was saying to his joint and the end result is perhaps the greatest serenade to pot ever. Sweet Leaf indeed.

Hey, Thank you for saying that because I couldn't believe Brad and Lex didn't know what the song is about. Especially with the cough intro for character!lol I would have expressed my thoughts wrong! They are very young adults and I respect them and others. That's why I check out reaction videos from the younger generation. So cool that they dig and appreciate music I literally grew up on as the bands were starting and reaching new heights in their career. I witnessed it all unfold ,in real time, right between my eyes!!

When I was a kid I got a new record player for a present. Being an only child, I didn't have any siblings to let me play their records. But, I did have a cool older cousin and he gave me a pile of his records when he made the switch to cassettes. Black Sabbath was a big part of that pile. I was in grade four. Ha! Forever grateful for that legendary stack of vinyl I got back then. All the other grade 4 kids were listening to Abba, the BeeGees and the Village people. I had Sabbath, Clapton, Zeppelin and the Stones. 🤘🤯

[@mikenastasi8927]

Geezer Butler was the lyricist for Black Sabbath

[@Stefan-]

@@mikenastasi8927 Yeah, i doubt Ozzy has written many lyrics, Bob Daisley another bassplaying legend wrote many of the lyrics for Ozzys solo career. I admit im no expert on the subject though so Ozzy may have done more than i think.

[@efakter1]

Bill Ward just goes off on the drums and Tony Iommi kills it with the guitar solos. This whole album is classic metal to the core

[@johnmccall5576]

Sabbath to me is a band like all those bands labeled as "Southern Rock" by geography, but have jazz, classical, and funk influences. Sabbath sure they down turned everything and wrote about dark topics, but Geezer and Bill swing as hard as the best jazz rhythm sections.

[@brianunkhunter1340]

Lex is such a guitar freak, metal head! LEX RULES!

If everyone in the world sat down and smoked a joint at the same time, World Peace would break out. For like 30-45 minutes. After that, "Black Friday Sale"-style fights would break out in the junk food aisle of every grocery store. 😆

Yes Lex. Now that's how you listen to music. You were pretty on the nose with your interpretation of the solo space on Sweet Leaf and were really close just remembering the Iron Man riff. That is impressive.

[@CTS666Official]

you guys play awesome tunes

[@frankpentangeli7945]

This song is specifically about marijuana (the sweet leaf), not necessarily all drugs. KILLER fucking riff! And Ozzy's melodies are some of the best in all of rock music. Not many people talk about that but to me, aside from the epic heaviness and originality of this band, Ozzy's melodic sensibility is the most important feature of Black Sabbath's music.

[@B0110-x3d]

He got how music worked, even without being the most gifted. Made a legacy because he knew his stuff. One of the reasons Ozzy is excellent

Lex is spot-on with the Iron Man reference. Black Sabbath invented heavy metal. Not alone, but they set so much of the pattern. What you’re hearing is the sound of kids who grew up in the cold, dark, wet, north of post-WWII England, and who went to school with the sound and debris of the foundries and steel factories next door coming in through the math class window.

[@tommykern2336]

Tony Iommi has one of the most recognizable guitar tones ever, partly due to him being in an accident at a sheet metal factory. The tips of his middle and ring fingers on his left hand were cut off, and he played with thimbles on the ends of each finger. I think this gives him that really distinct downtuned tone.

[@philpennington826]

That "really distinct downtuned tone" comes from...well....tuning down. After his accident, Tony started tuning his guitars down from standard E to D# and C# standard, taking a little of the tension off the strings, to make it easier for him to play over longer periods of time.

@@philpennington826 I do think a small fraction of his tone came from his home made prosthetic fingertips tho. But yes the lower tuning and finding ways to compensate for less sustain, like using the bass input of the amp for more gain and boosting with a Rangemaster, that's where 95% of the tone comes from. But if you listen to the few acoustic songs I feel like the tone is a touch brighter because of the plastic.

[@Reddog7937]

Sweat leaf is just a song about Marijuana. As you can hear the Cough in beginning. Ozzy cleverly uses personification or metaphors and sings the song as if Sweat leaf is a female. But you can put it together if you look at the words.Such as “ You introduced me to my mind.” & “ I love you sweat leaf, though you can’t hear.” There a a few bands that used this technique successfully. Actually Robert Plant uses this technique on Trampled underfoot. Using car terminology to describe Having sex with a woman.

[@robrichardson7079]

Geezer Butler was the clever one, because he wrote the lyrics, which was true about 90% of the time in the 1970s.

[@pebblehilllane]

The cough at the start of the song is Tony Iommi. Sabbath was in the recording studio and getting high and the mics were hot and when Tony took a big hit he coughed and it ended up being recorded. The decision was made to repeat the cough and use it somewhat like a short non-musical intro. It was a damned great idea! It not only starts the song off both unique and great but given the meaning of the song it's the perfect way to start the song.

[@mvellis3863]

The coughing intro is the biggest clue of what drug they're talking about. One unusual thing about this song, especially for its time, is that there's basically a drum solo instead of a guitar solo in there. You don't hear that very often in rock/metal.

Best anthem for the 'smokey-smokey' and getting high... The member of Black Sabbath said in 1969, they were blasted on weed and listening to the first Led Zeppelin record. 'Sweet leaf' came about in 1971 and was as explicit as it got about puffin' dope... bassist Geezer Butler came up with the lyrics and the song title came from his brand of cigarettes that was called 'Sweet Afton'. But by that point, Sabbath were using heavy drugs. In 1972, their song 'Snowblind' was written explicitly about coke.
