Mom REACTS to Black Sabbath, Into the Void . “Is this the beginning of metal???”

Geezer Butler (bass and lyrics) was as earnest a poet as he was a great bass player.

[@mikeg.4211]

Yep!

[@jaernihiltheus7817]

All metal subgenres and bands can trace their roots directly back to black sabbath. Whether it be doom, death, thrash, nu, stoner, jazz, symphonic, funk, black, power, or whatever else - there's at least 1 black sabbath song from the first 8 albums that laid the groundwork.

[@mikeg.4211]

Yes.

[@h3corptempbutevadinganass]

Yup.

[@h3corptempbutevadinganass]

MAYBE ZEPPELIN but only.cuz they were around in 69 pretty subjective, but ya sabbath wins FOR SURE heheh

Tony Iommi's riffs never get stale, and he never runs out of them.

You're so true - Black Sabbath is considered the birth of Heavy Metal or at least Metal. Tony Iommi and his riffs was completely unique when they came out in 1970. My youth heroes and idols among Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple.

Thank you

[@ingobordewick6480]

I'd like to quote Rob Zombie here: "Black Sabbath invented every metal guitar riff. You might play it faster or slower or even backwards, but they did it first."

[@stevenhopwood8195]

Nice reaction. Metal isn't for everyone. My sister is a professional opera singer and she says rock even hurts her ears. I'm a metalhead. We are drawn to whatever makes us happy and that's really all that matters. As for Sabbath, I'll always love the blues notes in Iommi's riffs. Hope you feel better. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@mirojr6854]

Absolutely

[@arnonyhm4055]

When Black Sabbath started, Metal as a genre didn't exist. There were Hard Rock bands like Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin, but Black Sabbath found their own way, comming from Blues and Jazz (which can be recognized in their first few albums) and influenced a lot of bands that later on were labeled with some kind of Metal. "War Pigs" and "Hand of Doom" are also iconic songs from them, or "Symptom of the Universe" with totally unexpected last two minutes. By the way, many of their lyrics were written by the bass player Geezer Butler.

[@captaincapitalism264]

Yes (the beginning of true heavy metal). Especially this song and the other fantastic track, "Children of the Grave", both where Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler tuned down their guitar & bass 1.5 steps for that heavier sound. Back in the 70s I remember my uncle, a trucker, calling this 'acid rock', haha...he and his teenage kids loved it. Those 2 tracks are awesome...later ones I find heavy & cool are "Symptom of the Universe" (1975), "Neon Knights" & "Heaven & Hell" (1980, with Ronnie James Dio singing for the 1st time), and of course "The Mob Rules" (1981), all hard & heavy tracks.

[@mikeg.4211]

A great reaction! Very nice! This was very enjoyable! Thanks! I really love your thoughtful reactions! Yes, Tony Iommi (by consensus almost everyone agrees) started metal. The lyrics were by the great bass player Geezer (Terry) Butler. At this time 1971, no one was doing anything like this or this heavy. Later on, metal split off and evolved into various subgenres (some of which Iommi also started) like symphonic (which was heavily influenced by Anneke Van Giersbegen with The Gathering), and thrash (which Iommi planted the seeds for in 1975 with a song called Symptom of the Universe), and death or black metal (which is a lot of the growling, which I agree if often way overdone). I hope you got through your MRI OK, and that it is behind you now for awhile! :)

Lovely reaction and some interesting thougts. Black sabbths debute album, and especially the titel song 'Black sabbath' is considered to be the start of Heavy metal, so that's my suggestion for your next reaction to the music of Black sabbath.

[@MommaTaunT]

Thank you

[@davidmcdonagh7756]

A lot of English bands were influenced by blues, jazz and rock n roll and that's where heavy metal/ heavy rock comes from, and from Tony Iommi's guitar riffs came many heavy metal genres.

I grew up in the 70s, listening to Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and many more great bands. Back then, nobody, in the UK anyway, used the term metal. It was heavy rock, hard rock, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, space rock, you name it rock. The first time I heard the word metal was when the likes of Iron Maiden came on the scene with the so called ‘New Wave of Heavy Metal.’ I remember thinking at the time, new wave? What was the first wave. I would be interested to hear if the term metal was used earlier in the USA or anywhere else. I certainly never heard the term in those early years.

[@mikeg.4211]

Metal was first used here in the US in relation to early Sabbath, where it was considered to have been created by Iommi. I grew up the same time you did, listening to the same bands, except in Chicago. Cheers!

[@mikedown3219]

@@mikeg.4211 thanks for the feedback. I guessed it may have originated as a term in the US first. Early 70s in the UK, Sabbath were just referred to as heavy rock.

[@severed111]

@@mikedown3219 I heard Jimmy Hendrix being referenced as Heavy Metal Rock in some 70's music documentary with radio people discussing the music before the performance and in between songs. But yes indeed, considering how many great metal bands covered Black Sabbath...they seem to have that common thread. The best cover of this song by a top tier thrash metal/groove metal band that didn't exist long enough (88-93), Exhorder, covered it on their second album "The Law" in 1992. Tony Iommi is quoted as saying it is the best cover of Into The Void he's ever heard. Also, Phil from Pantera changed his vocals when he heard Exhorder's first album, his voice between Power Metal in 87 and Cowboys From Hell shows how influenced he was from Exhorder, a really talented band that is a bit forgotten, too bad, they were better than Pantera imo, but them being from Texas also, I imagine could weave both bands into the Texas Thrash Metal sound, Exhorder only started to incorporate groove metal on their second album and Into The Void is the perfect cover to slap in the middle of that second album "The Law", it is has an incredible groove and has the ingredients to inspire the earliest adopters of adding a little groove to Thrash Metal, and it happens to be both of these bands, but it's still hard not to hear Phil adopting Exhorder's vocalist style especially by the time one heard Vulgar Display of Power, those who already knew of that band could confuse the two by then, especially since Phil had abandoned any high notes in his vocals by then, no more falsetto by the time of that album. Slayer's cover of Hand of Doom is also pretty sweet, even if it was released for a rather bad horror movie soundtrack of the late 90's (first Chucky the evil doll movie in a long time).

So a little story. I worked nuclear bombers, we were total geeks that worked nukes during the cold war. We were the only ones who hoped we never had to show how good we were at our jobs because it would mean the elimination of mankind. We would launch aircraft having to be on alert to this song. Being total geeks that worked nuclear weapons and radar and countermeasures and all the crazy shit we have to deal with in this world, we had a sound system on our truck that was only slightly louder than 3 B-52's spinning up all 8 engines and when the captain would come aboard and scream at the top of his lungs and not wake us up, we drew attention. We were zoning to the end of life on earth. So my brothers (and sisters) lived this song. Of the 12 of us, 4 of my "shop" have died from the same cancer. We fist bumped nukes, would check if our radar worked depending on how hot it made our bodies feel and did regular chemical warfare training (look it up, if you are not puking your guts out, you are not training) so listen to the words, this song is what I and many others have lived. Not to be a buzz kill but Sabbath really were anti war and pro peace!

Soundgarden does a cover but with completely different lyrics but the same instrumentals. It's called Into the Void Sealth edition and the lyrics are from a Native American

That awful week is now in the past, let it stay there. Move forward and live life to the full. Only regret the things you did and not the the stuff you didn’t do! I lost my Mum to cancer so I know your head isn’t necessarily in the right place now. But know this… you are loved by countless people and that won’t change! The description ‘Metal’ is an incredibly broad term like you would refer to Blues or Pop. There are dozens of sub-divisions within that term. There’s Original Metal like this, Glam Metal like Van Halen and Motley Crue, through Thrash Metal bands like Metallica into the more extreme Death Metal which is the one with the ‘Death Growl’, bands such as Sepultura.

Black Sabbath is one of my fav bands but my absolute favorite band is classic YES. If you need some positive vibes via progressive rock founders try.. (see first sentence)

[@severed111]

It is really good yes, replacing it with the words of Tecumseh towards the white men who were coming for the last pieces of land that wasn't colonized yet in the pacific northwest...though the best cover, even Tommy Iommi agrees, is Exhorder's cover of Into The Void on their album The Law (1992).

Black sabbath is unfortunately no more touring as a band. But when they did - You would have enjoyed them as all their melodies is blues based and no growling. All modern metal would not be as of today without bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and in some parts even Deep Purple.
