What it is like to be woke your entire life. In 1971 at age 11 💇‍♂️ I purchased my second Black Sabbath album (Master of Reality). My collection consisted of Hair the Musical (Jesus Christ Superstar), Iron Butterfly Live (In A Gadda Da Vida), Jimi Hendrix (Axis Bold As Love), The Birds (Eight Miles High), Moody Blues (Days of the Futures Past), Black Sabbath (Paranoid) Santana (Black and Magic Woman) and shortly after bought Humble Pie's (Smokin) and Led Zeppelin's (fourth album).

You really didn't know what you were getting until you listened to it on the turn table as most of this stuff was not played on the radio.

[@RandomPau]

Now that I think about it, you're right. We would pay money to hear songs & try out new groups before we even heard them. Sometimes catch a little buzz from friends or Rolling Stone or Circus (Rock mag) about a new band, but not from TV or radio. By the way, Grand Funk was/is from USA.

[@jamesegan3172]

GFR true! I was lazy..

[@timbarrow6763]

When this was released I was 18. I was a teenager of the times, southern , white, suburban, watching musical acts like the Monkees on TV. Not yet doing drugs. But me and my best buddy had been slowly discovering this new music, bands nobody much had heard of at the time. Bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and so many others. We would pool our nickels and dimes together and go buy a new album of a band we never heard before (they cost about $3 then). We bought based on whether the album cover struck us. When we were looking at the first Black Sabbath cover we almost didn't buy it, it looked so ominous and maybe even evil. (the mainstream did think they were satanists). But we did, took it home, played it on his cheap portable record player, and totally had our minds blown (no drugs even). We had never heard any thing like it before. Not like Beatles, not like Rolling Stones, not like any thing that came before. We spent the entire next 40 minutes banging heads, making faces, WOW's ----- just like you guys!

[@niccoarcadia4179]

Your right, we took a chance buying records in the "Import" section of our local record shop. I bought it because the cover art was cool. When I heard it I thought why don't they play stuff like this on the radio?

Back in the 70s, when I was a teenager, this song blew my mind, just like all of Black Sabbath's songs did. You never heard it on the radio, there was no such thing as KZbin. You only knew about Sabbath by word of mouth man. I was at a party and someone put Black Sabbath's first album on. The very first song, called Black Sabbath, absolutely had me entranced, mesmerized. It changed my life! Those dark, distorted guitar chords! Ozzy's scary vocals! The somber bass and drums! It was unlike anything I had heard before, and all I knew was that I liked it! Tony Iommi, Sabbath's guitar player, inspired me to stick with guitar practice. I just had to learn those guitar parts. Then when their 2nd album came out, called Paranoid, it had War Pigs. With War Pigs, Black Sabbath put themselves far beyond ordinary rock. In fact they invented what would become known as "doom rock" and of course heavy metal. The rest is history...

Hey Justin's world! I was there, the first time I heard Sabbath was in 1970, the song was Iron Man. We were in my friends dad's car and it had the rare (for that time) FM radio and we were on a hill north of San Francisco listening to the first 'underground rock' station in the nation. KSAN 95.5 stereo, eo, eo... Any way, this was the music that I had been waiting for, no one up until that point had been heavy enough for me, and when I heard Sabbath I said "This is it!!, this is the music I've been waiting for!" and we named that hill 'Black Sabbath hill' from then on. I can't tell you what it was like listening to that music for the first time...there had never been anything like it. I have been a metal head from that point on. Now I listen to progressive metal (I've kept up) and since 1972 I have played the bass guitar in many good bands. I would love to be able to talk to you guys, I have a list of only the best metal (I'm very, very picky) from 1969 to the present. Please respond to this comment and we'll find a way to talk. Cheers! PS, my favorite song right now is by a progressive metal band called Pain of Salvation. This 10 min. song has everything in it and two of the best singers I've ever heard. I have to listen to it at least twice (three times) every time I play it. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

We were subjected to the draft to fight a war against the Vietnamese. That colored everything. A lot of angry music came out of that era. Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" and ""Blowing in the Wind" were classics. Buffalo Springfield's "For What its Worth' really spells out the mood of the times. One story: A young war resister appeared in Detroit. He was being sought by the police and could see Canada and freedom just across the river. He tried to cross at the border but because he was a draft age male he was turned back. He tried to hire a boat to take him across but that failed. He decided to try to swim the fast water of the straits and drowned. It still hurts to this day.

You might notice that the drums have a lot of swing in them, thanks to the jazzy leanings of Bill Ward. Kind of weird when you really start to realize that the birth of heavy metal had roots not just in blues and rock n' roll but also jazz. Metal gets a knock for being "dumb" music and yes, there are simple songs, but the musicians are by no means untalented hacks. They know what they're doing... even when they pretend they don't!

Dudes! ya gotta do the Black Sabbath song "After Forever" next!!!!

[@bobdog5938]

yes! indeed.

[@marisabundrick9003]

Glad you guys like this old Metal...enjoy!

Lead singer is OZZY OSBORNE

[@shawnmiller4135]

This song was written during the Vietnam war that's what this is primarily about, however OZZY was born shortly after WW11 so this song is about war in general.

I think you would like sweet leaf or fairys wear boots with black sabbath

[@nikonmark37814]

The video you just watched illustrates what goes on in North Korea and China today. Your reaction and comments were right on and this song is from the Black Sabbath Paranoid album. I didn't have the album I had it 8 track!

You'd never know it looking at him today, but Ozzy is the man. Unfortunately, you can't do all the drugs in the whole wide world for years on end without looking like that. If you need another flavor of Black Sabbath, go listen to Heaven and Hell. Ronnie James Dio on vocals. Very different. Every bit as good.

For all he did, he looks not too bad, it's talking to him that's a little tough 😏😵😵😬😬 .. We used to watch The Osbournes, ehen they had their reality show and it was hysterical!!!

[@suzannemcneal7320]

He's in his 70s and up until last year, still rocking our faces off. He looks great and is possibly not human!

[@Plymouth888]

Ozzy may be one who has a stutter when speaking but was great singing.

[@TheCornishCockney]

Mad Bill Ward on the skins and Sir Tony Iommi of Birmingham on guitar. heaven.

[@stevenltierney2366]

Ozzy was the original lead singer, but he got booted out of the band in 79. They had various replacement singers over the years before Ozzy rejoined. War Pigs is a fucking great tune though! You guys should check out this live version from 1970: - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWTFZ4Z9pLNpmqM Bill Ward kills it on drums. Another of my favourite tunes of theirs with Ozzy on lead vocals is "The Wizard" from their first self-titled LP, which is another one of those songs that just makes you want to crank the volume up to max: - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXy8XmCnlq2Kidk
