[@bobschenkel7921]

Written during the height of the Vietnam War, this song could be about any war, and that makes it timeless and still relevant today, and into the future. The best video of this song comes from the Paris, France concert from 1970, watch Bill Ward kill his drum set. Oh yeah, and Ozzy, Tony and Geezer too.

[@domenicgalata1470]

Also, the boys in Sabbath were born post WW2 in Birmingham, which was in bad shape after the German bombings. They were born to parents who had survived that terrible war, so the pain and fear that haunted their parents was very real and left an impression I’m sure.

[@fabbrunette]

Yes! I'd also like to add that Sabbath grew up in post-WW2 England. Their city was blitzed by the Nazis!

[@1rexrex]

There should have been some sorta hotline setup for that drum set to be able to report Bill Ward.

This band, Black Sabbath was part of the Holy Trinity of Rock/Heavy Metal 1. Led Zeppelin 2. Black Sabbath 3. Deep Purple Love this song.

[@philcenters6690]

Black Sabbath’s first album was my very first album in 1970, given to me by my older sister. Unbelievable how good this music is even half a century later. Clearly the evolution of music was moving very rapidly at that point in the late sixties and early seventies. Imagine music like Black Sabbath’s coming out ten years earlier. It probably would have caused a riot in the U.S. What’s incredible is that the band decided to make their niche in the exploding rock field by transforming horror movie themes into rock, and heavy metal was born. “Reflecting on the strange fact that people would pay good money to be scared by a movie like Black Sabbath [which was playing in a theater across the street from the band’s rehearsal space], the band decided to make music that would scare people.” Which no other rock band had ever focused on as the theme of their music. Ironically their lyrics are often very spiritual. And the music itself is a strange kind of genius.

From the same album, Paranoid, Iron Man, Electric Funeral and Fairies Wear Boots are Ikonic, classic songs at the birth of classic Heavy Metal. Black Sabbath's is an extremely deep rabbit hole with many great eras but the original band with Ozzy Osbourne, is forever credited for their amazing musical contributions that have stood the test of time and are eternal Thanks again for listening to great music, no matter when it was made. Enjoy! 🎸

Fantastic, all time concert I will remember forever...

Today is the 1 year anniversary of my brother's death. Sabbath's War Pigs was "our jam" when we were kids.

To give this context, this came out in the early 1970’s and just utterly stunned everyone. There was no sound like this at the time. It blew people mind and even scared the shit out of people enough to label devil worshiping music. This is the biggest peace protest song ever!

I bought both the first and second Black Sabbath albums when they were released in 1970. I was 15 at the time. Also saw them live at Portsmouth Polytechnical College in May 1970.

[@charliecochran3035]

I was chuckling to myself during the song about the musically savage way these guys attack things. The music is as violent as the subject matter but way easier on the ears somehow. It's magical. Nobody had anything resembling this kind of edge at that time. I always laugh at Sweet Leaf for having one of their most intense riffs and a brutal, mind scrambling musical break/jam section...in a song about weed!

[@johnnyzip9847]

This song depicts the war like attitude from government and the emotional havoc it creates for society, individuals, families, love ones who leave for war and loves ones who wait for their soldiers return or not.. WW2 was form 1939 to 1945 Members of Black Sabbath( born 1948-49) are from Birmingham England a city known for its blue collar workers smoke stack industrial steel and manufacturing.. The parents/family of the members witnessed WW2 and the destruction it imposed on England(possibly family members were killed in WW2) .. This message of war was most likely echoed to them as children on what the horrors of war are like that just occurred few years before they were born.. That siren you hear in the beginning of the song( is a real siren sound) was used to sound off to warn the local town/villagers that war attack was emanant, a scary sound to hear during that time with most wondering where to go and hide... A very pivotal song

[@jimgore1278]

Sick drums, amazing bass, and incredible solo guitar. Ozzy’s vocals crisp and clear. A real powerful anti war song . This was a cry against the Viet Nam war.

[@mr.eggplant866]

No, listen to what Ozzy inspired him, it wasn't Viet Nam.

[@MrDiddyDee]

No, although there was clearly some solidarity from UK students, the Vietnam War wasn't as big an issue to us in the UK. The band were from Birmingham, an industrial city in the heart of the UK which was heavily bombed by the Nazis in WW2, their parents lived through that time, and most of the major UK cites had areas that had been flattened by bombing, these sites often becoming 'playgrounds' of rubble for post war kids. Bill and the band were also worried about being called up to do National Service, this peace time Conscription required all healthy males aged 17 to 21 to do 18 months military training as a post war duty, and be part of a reserve army should it be needed again.

[@annettespradlin4945]

Bill ward was frustrated. You can tell with the way he was banging on the drums. He was big time anti-war.

Tommy Iommi is the star at the end of the day but the bass and drums on this song are both keeping things together and ALL over the place. And that doesn’t even get into Ozzy’s powerful but clarion vocals. Rarely does a song capture a mood that matches the subject, so well. Rock masterpiece.

As I recall, the long instrumental intro is actually a separate song called ‘Lukes Wall’. The two songs are typically played together. ‘Lukes Wall/War Pigs’. These are the beginnings of metal music as it is known today. A lot of sound engineers had no idea how to record them in the early days

[@tsmartin]

[@bartstarr100]

Another Note: The name of the album was supposed to be War Pigs. The record company said no, pick another name. Someone suggested Paranoid, so they wrote another classic song called Paranoid on the spot.

[@robertpetre9378]

Tony Iommi would often Double track his electric guitar whenever he did a guitar solo to give it a more fuller and thicker sound he was so innovative in the recording studio such a legend

[@chuckcape7248]

I recommend Hand of Doom, from same album. It is about Heroine use, actually the whole album is recommended. The Paranoid album is considered one of the best Metal albums ever released.

[@somersetcace1]

Bit of trivia about this song. The "establishment" went after this song when it came out, claiming it was Satanic because it mentions "Witches in black masses," and Satan. Now, after reading the lyrics along with the song, what do you think? Think they were really upset about the word Satan, or maybe they were actually upset because they wrote one of the greatest anti-war songs of all time and basically called out that same establishment as being "war pigs," who will be crawling on their knees come judgement day. hmmm I wonder.

[@sandyhickey8236]

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

You're the best reactors, you really sincerely feel it, seems like. Sabbath was a perfect complementary band, everyone contributed in unique ways. Bill was a monster on drums, Geezer & Bill were great rhythm section, Geezer was an amazing lyricist, Tony was THE all time guitar riff master and main musical writer and arranger, and Ozzy had a unique voice and gift for creating melodies. Magic. Many great Sabbath songs go through these changes in sections, like War Pigs. Some other great songs are Into the Void, Hand of Doom, Megalomania, Don't Start-Symptom of the Universe, Supernaut, Killing Yourself to Live, ... long list. Spiral Architect is unusual one for them, and personal favorite. Be well.
