I wish this War Pigs video didn't exist. When the record came out you only had the cover art to look at. You are supposed to close your eyes when you listen to a song like this.

the video is a fan made video, I think, but it shows how The Man treats those that don't obey. The song is so awesome, Ozzy's voice is so good and the band were really coming into there own in 1970. You should watch for yourself the War Pigs live in Paris 1970, watch Bill Ward the drummer, just kill the drums on this tune dude. It's the best live footage of a drummer, I ever seen, ever, an I've seen some shit over the last 59 years, ha

[@annieoakley8949]

Soooo glad you did this one!! The guitar player lost the tips of his fingers before US tour. They worked in a factory and he lost them in a metal press. His guitar had to be strung loosely which creates the deep dark sound of the one and only Black Sabbath!!

Ignore the animated video. It is not an official video from the band. It was a student-created animation done decades after the song was released and not connected in any way to the song. The person who created this KZbin video attached it to War Pigs because they thought it was cool and they got tons of view because of it. If you really want to see a cool video of this song performed live check out the 1970 Paris live version (not actually in Paris, but that is the title). It's crazy good.

[@ljwhitmire200]

One thing to think about is how Black Sabbath and Ozzy were portrayed in the media back in the day. When I was a kid, the most common story in the media was that they were devil worshipers, etc. I personally think this was an attack to distract the average person from their messages in their songs.

[@ajruther67]

I think you would like a lot of their songs, some of which the lyrics have deep and/or good meaning. You should always have lyrics captioned on the screen for them. Songs to check out: *N.I.B. (1970)* The lyrics are in the first person from the point of view of Lucifer. Bassist Geezer Butler, who composed the song's lyrics, has said that "the song was about the devil falling in love and totally changing, becoming a good person. *After Forever (1971)* Lyrics were written by Geezer Butler (bass) while the music was written by Tony Iommi (guitar). Geezer who was brought up strictly Catholic, focus entirely on Christian themes *Children of the Grave (1971)* The song lyrically continues with the same anti-war themes brought on by "War Pigs" and "Electric Funeral" *Fairies Wear Boots (1970)* Funny about doings drugs like acid/LSD *Sweet Leaf (1971)* It's about the first time Ozzy smoked weed *Lord of This World (1971)* It's basically Lucifer telling you that most of us on earth follow him (doing bad things and sinning) and less people follow God and the devil is loving it, and he asks at the end, "But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die" *Sabbath Bloody Sabbath* (1973)* The band had been feeling quite pressured and Tony Iommi (guitar) had writer's block. The band rented the supposedly haunted Clearwell Castle in hopes that the change of scenery would give them a vibe and shake some songs loose. Apparently it worked; on their very first day there Tony wrote the riff to "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath."

War is a means of population control. Any ecosystem can only support so many lives. Regardless of evolution, there are going to be people who are better equipped to handle a particular environment. In any environment the strong , or wise , will prevail. You don't want me giving you financial advice but at sea ? Me, or someone like me is who you want. Just like the current war in Ukraine. Unlike America,and similar countries, at least since the end of the draft, where we send our best and brightest,Russia is emptying the prisons,and recruiting from undesirable minorities.

Yes 1970 right at the end of Vietnam war. WE who have never had to experience war or invasion directly in our country I Thank God for this. And to have it in our homes and streets would be un imagineable. That little girl represents so so many that are and have lived with that kind of Hell. This is one of my favoeite Ozzy Songs growing up i saw Black Sabath so.many many times, like ive said begore, they seemed to be in my home town in Ca in concert, i thought they had to live close lol they showed up with other bands with not being on the Bill or anounced they were coming them and ZZ TOP. Love thrm also. But hearing all the songs in my teen yrs + and listening to them now. I still love Black Sabath, but didnt appreciate some of the songs then as i do now. Like War Pigs i said its my favorite, and it is now at 60ish. I find that often now days. The music, bands from my generation years are still my favorite bands, however alot of the songs have switched positions as life moves on the songs move around on the list. All have memories, just in my teens hadnt lived enough to understand and appreciate certain songs or i see them and feel them diffrently then i did years ago. With that said some have been deeply planted in my soul from day one and will always stay put. Like the song i heard leaving the hospital the day my mother died. Im so glad to see younger tubers reacting and understanding and appreciating "My Generation Music" so Thank you for giving something new or in this case old a chance to be appreciated and enjoyed for a bit longer !

This is not the only song that says something about leaving the fighting of a war to the poor. Accept for those who were drafted, anyone in the military are there with the expectation of going to war when they sign the dotted line to join. I was one of those people. I am n Iraqi War veteran. Otherwise, the military is not a youth group that just goes on camping trips now and again. According to the 1st Army regulation, the reason for the existence of the Army is to fight and win wars, Nothing more. So, the poor is relative. My husband and I are both veterans and we are doing quite well considering this horrible economy. The military set us up for an eventual beautiful living. So, "the poor" being spoken of in these songs...are not victims. However, I do like the song otherwise.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Sabbath were really doing an amazing version of a kind of theatrical metal, before metal was even really a thing.

knowing that "War Pigs" came out in 1970 and here we are in 2023 and its still relatable unfortunately to the world today is both amzing and sad. a lot of songs from the sixties & seventies were about world issues especially about war. its just that back then most artists werent as obvious with their lyrics or titles as black sabbath was with "War Pigs". unfortunately there arent as many artists today that are willing to address these same things as artists back in the day did. it almost seemed like it was expected for artists to speak out where as now most are more concerned with not becoming part of the "cancelled movement". might explain why there arent many current artists that i truly love, where there are tons of 'older' artiists that i still love/like much more. Tom Macdonald is one of the few 'current' artists that dares to have substance to his music.
