Rapper FIRST time REACTION to BLACK SABBATH - "Paranoid" !

[@mikeb36240]

The "Unholy" Trinity - Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple 🤘😎

[@amymeyers8090]

Correct! All came out around the same time all out of England.

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

Thank you for bringing Purple to attention. ´Bout time.

[@viracocha03]

Yeah, he needs to react to some Deep Purple.

[@hoosiernationsindiana2085]

First concert I ever attended. Seen the Zep & Purple. When Ozzy left Sabbath seen him 7 different times!!! Some of the hardest driving music around!

[@kennycab3374]

And Rush, and Pink Floyd.

[@pammontano7159]

You can never go wrong with Black Sabbath.

[@StrawberryPie1973]

You can.... if Ozzy is not the lead singer. Ronnie James Dio leading Sabbath was awful shit. Ijs

[@mr.righty6985]

​I disagree, brother but respect your. Opinion​@StrawberryPie1973

[@michaelbuttner4262]

​@@StrawberryPie1973 Ozzy, Dio , Ian Gillan ( one Album at Born again ) , Tony Martin ( Headless Cross 1989 and more) , Dio and at last Ozzy ( 13 )

[@Escapee5931]

Just don't play their songs backwards... ... it'll wreck the needle on your record player!

[@bertalach]

You can if you play them at your nans wake…

[@mikeb3835]

The bassist Geezer Butler wrote most of the lyrics for Black Sabbath during the Ozzy years, I believe he was battling some depression during this time. And yes, you definitely need to check out "War Pigs" live in Paris.

[@progmanjum]

Sharon may come looking for you.

[@scenicrouteart]

Yes, War Pigs!

[@deniackeridge5273]

​@@progmanjumno lies detected😂

[@reesezpeecez08]

The UNholy trinity was Black Sabbath, Led Zep. and Deep Purple. I'd love to see you react to Black Sabbath live in Paris 1970 to see them in true form. War Pigs and Fairies Wear Boots are great. Bill Ward is fantastic live.

[@lesliedavis2185]

Saw Sabbath live mid 70s.great gig, first band I ever saw live was zeppelin

[@johnn58]

Saw Sabbath multiple times - saw Ozzy both with Randy and without - Sabbath is simply mind melting.

[@AdamBazille]

First legit metal band off all time!

[@redoz9768]

Imagine someone who lived through the 1960s with all of it's folksy love music, the Beatles, Peter Paul & Mary etc, and then 1970 rolls over and suddenly they've got this song blasting in their faces. It would have blown some people's minds.

[@neilbradley3146]

War Pigs |Live in Paris 1970, greatest drumming display ever.

[@eriklarson9137]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@neworleanslady9664]

You will KNOW when Ozzy sings. His voice is the reason he cannot be mistaken. Thanks for this 🔥💗🔥💗

[@april6058]

I met Ozzy and his family at a movie theater in Century City, California. Me my family was standing behind him- I didn't realize it was him until I saw the tattoo on his fingers-OZZY. I said to my husband quietly- it's Ozzy Osborn - he turned around and said hello. We talked for a few minutes about the movie we were seeing. He was a cute dad got up and went to the concession stand to get snacks for his kids.

[@c0uchsl0uch]

I enjoy watching you enjoying Ozzy/Black Sabbath. I'm a big Ozzy fan. They have said when the song was written, they weren't really sure what "paranoid" meant, it just happened to work out ENJOY LIFE not what everyone thinks

[@chelseahaley8350]

Ozzy is THE legend!!! So happy ur finally getting to him! He has so many great songs!!

[@AdamBazille]

This came out when the fucking Beatles were still the shit and #1! Unreal how before their time they really were!

[@DerEchteBold]

And the album came out the very day Jimi Hendrix died.

[@shannonotoole3526]

Right after the 69 SUMMER OF LOVE... blew us away

[@craigapelbaum1629]

BLACK SABBATH are THE FATHERS OF ALL HEAVY METAL. Guitarist:Tony Iommi, Bass guitarist:Terrance Geezer Butler, Drummer: Bill Ward, and lead singer: Ozzy Osbourne. The masters of metal.

[@shannonotoole3526]

right after the 69 SUMMER OF LOVE! hit like a truck

[@toddylu6869]

I think he could still sing this perfectly… even if he couldn’t or can’t talk today. One of the best rock n roll vocalists of all time. He is classic.

[@sylv772]

Yep - would indeed like to see you react to War Pigs.

[@smilie-pm9gb]

When Black Sabbath finished recording their album they were just short a minute and a half and needed a filler. So they just started jamming a song they never played before to fill it up. That song was Paranoid.

[@tonic8945]

I am so grateful to have lived through times when if you got to the top it was because you were talented, and yes Ozzies voice was unmistakable.

[@robinhalvarsson3138]

Early Sabbath should be taught in song writing classes. Their lyrics were awesome.

[@brycepankau7128]

Yes, keep listening to Sabbath, hard to go wrong with any of their songs.

[@sheraven1]

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Black Sabbath twice….25 years apart! First as a teenager and then I took a group of teenagers to their reunion Tour. Amazing! And believe me when they play “Sweet Leaf” everyone gets a contact buzz

[@Blue-6773]

Bill Ward always beat the drums like they owed him money! So energetic, great drummer. The lyrics you read were from a live performance lol. If you want to hear a great song by Ozzy I would suggest Mr. Crowley, has one of the greatest guitarists of all time playing lead guitar; Randy Rhoads.

[@mikepiccione886]

Black Sabbath( fairies wear boots ❤)will blow your mind ,totally a Ren switch up kind of song😊

[@mindfuct8862]

"Symptom of the Universe" Is my favorite Black Sabbath song

[@Emma-og2jt]

Mine too.

[@AC-dn7yq]

1:48 ... they all came later! this track from 1970, Iron Maiden and Motörhead got foundet 1975! Metallica foundet 1981! Thats why!

[@aldebarandaddy-o1953]

This song is obviously a must review. Definitely a great track, and one of their most recognizable tunes, but I hope you'll revisit the original "Ozzy Era" Black Sabbath again soon. You'll find the further you dig into their B -sides, the closer you get to the genius of Sabbath...I recommend "Into the Void", "Behind the Wall of Sleep", "Hand of Doom, "Faires Wear Boots", "Lord of this World", "Wheels of Confusion", "Thrill of it All" and "Megalomania" (and believe me, it was hard to stop myself at only these) not only are all these songs masterpieces, but when you take into consideration the years that all these tracks dropped, It's undeniable how ahead of their time Black Sabbath was, and how they created another level of sonic intensity, which influenced an entirely new genre of music for decades to come.

[@nelsonx5326]

And "Iron Man'.

[@JPindanga]

Don't miss "Childen of the Grave"

[@amandajane5743]

​@@JPindangaChildren of the Grave is my favourite. I saw the list and was coming here to add it. 😁

[@garysexton8840]

Since you are exploring music you haven’t heard l would love to hear your reaction to the music of Jethro Tull (1968-the present). Start with the studio version of Nothing Is Easy from the Stand Up album (1969). Then go through the catalog of the following albums- one every year up to 1980 No two albums are alike and that’s what is amazing about them. I will check out your channel to see your reactions !

[@MrChoobsabre]

Heard Megalomania playing at my dad's place recently and had to get the name of it to listen to later, wow what a great track.

[@jessicaleblanc-nh1yl]

This incredible band has been together since 1968. They are the original. His voice is unique and all of his own. Thank you for sharing this one. =)

[@SM-ri2df]

WHEN IT COMES TO ROCK/METAL , THEY WROTE EVERYTHING THEY PLAYED UNLESS THEY WERE DOING A COVER... AND P.AYING INSTRUMENTS WAS THE CHERRY ON TOP... REAL TALENT...

[@shawn.m.schmidt]

Ozzy has spoken on the ending lyrics to Paranoid by saying, "for years, I thought Jimi Hendrix in Purple Haze, sang, "EXCUSE ME, WHILE I KISS THIS GUY"."

[@maryannturton9830]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@shannonotoole3526]

ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@jeffreyhamlin2971]

This is 54 years old and still a awesome song. This is on of the songs that no one can cover and do it better then the original. He did bite a bat head off but he did not know it was a real bat at the time. Black Sabbath and Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin open the flood gates for a lot of the greats. Ozzy and Dio were both lead sings for Black Sabbath and both had unique Voices.

[@TOPCHEF19733]

They got the name "Black Sabbath" from a horror movie in the early 60's Black Sabbath. One member said isnt it funny people will go pay money to watch a movie that scares them.Why dont we write that kind of music" All 4 came from the same town with steel factories & crumbled buildings that were bombed in WWII.Ozzy & the guitarist (Tony Iommi) went to school together.They became the Godfathers of Metal

[@danielmartino1442]

Black Sabbath's signature guitar riffs from Tony Iommi are legendary. Early on he had an accident at work where his finger tips were severed. He created prosthetics for his fingers that took his guitar playing to a new level

[@haraldmax9685]

In 2013, Geezer Butler (the songwriter) told Mojo magazine that the song "Paranoid" was about "depression" "because I didn't really know the difference between depression and paranoia. It's a drug thing; most people become completely paranoid about people when they're using drugs, was my observation, and that ends up in prolonged depression for most people even after withdrawal. The song was originally only intended as a 3-minute gap filler for the second studio album, to get to the usual length for LPs at the time. During the lunch break on the recording day (most of the first and second albums were recorded live in the studio in two days), Tony Iommi asked his bandmates if the riff could be used for this. Geezer Butler on the further course of events "We basically needed a three-minute filler for the album. Tony came up with the riff. "I quickly wrote the lyrics and Ozzy sang them live into the microphone as he read them during the studio recording."

[@kimcutts6153]

Oh yes..... This will be great. I'm looking forward to it.

[@suicyco4life666]

My favorite band of all time.

[@lynndally9160]

Awesome reaction. I've always loved Sabbath. 🤘Ozzy🤘. I've even left instructions for Ozzy's song "See you on the other side" to be played at my funeral.

[@frankgarcia1]

IMO the best ever Sabbath song is Children of the Grave. Read the Lyrics please. Spoiler alert, Children of the Grave is a song about supporting peace.

[@kaynesheldon4905]

Ozzfest baby right here! In my moms belly at the January 1996 ozzfest. Born 2 months later on St Patrick’s day. Absolutely love Ozzy. Still listen to his Tapes!

[@T-ShirtMagic]

*"Black Sabbath - Symptom Of the Universe"* killer Ozzy vocals!!! Is one of my top five songs to-date and heard this song on a tape-loop since mid 70s - *until just now I'd heard an incorrect lyric too* - blown away!

[@BrookePS23]

His songs with Lita Ford are phenomenal!!! 🤯 You should check them out if you can… ❤

[@chelseahaley8350]

Yes!!! 🙌

[@MichaelKing-de4jz]

Tony Iomi and Lita Ford had a brief thing

[@AttackChefDennis]

Tony Iomi - Guitar Riff Master, Bill Ward - Beast of a Drummer, Geezer Butler- Bass Wizard and Socially Conscious Lyricist. And then there's OZZY. Every song on 1st 5 albums are just bad ass.

[@suepoole8323]

Local lad made more than good.. he did a bostin job... Brum Salutes you Ozzy.... Thank you BP for the reaction

[@heartwork8318]

Hah! Epic! Ozzie’s voice is very unique! Very clear when he sings…..when he’s talking, not so much! 😂😂 ❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

[@nikosalmpanis-ty3jt]

Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘

[@jukeboxdave6026]

It is said that this is the first song to cover mental health issues - fantastic reaction love and respect from the UK 👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

[@barbaramatthews4735]

I have mental health issues. I like songs that I can relate to. I'm 55, and during the 80s I wasn't really into Black Sabbath or any of the "devil music," or so they called it. It wasn't until later on in life that I could really appreciate it. It's not actually satanic. But back then, the panic was real. I laugh at my old self. Life happens. I'm a disabled veteran with PTSD, depression and anxiety. My head sometimes interferes with my thinking. 80s were wild and had great music. Maybe this was 70s. I was too young to understand. I know I heard it back then. I just couldn't connect the dots.

[@Proud.American58]

Now please go check out their songs “After Forever”, “Children of the Grave” and “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” #blacksabbath

[@samolevski1119]

What I would say to you is the same as I've said to other reactors listening to 1960's, 70's and 80's music - imagine back then, no internet and mostly getting your first taste of a group from the radio. Try thinking about what was happening in the world at the time of the song's release, and other music before the song was released. I can assure you this made an incredible impact on us kids here in the UK, as it was a single and so the national radio stations played it, which meant over 90% of young people heard it, rather than the smaller number who bought or listened to albums. It was just so loud and vastly different from Beatles, Sinatra or other stuff we heard on the radio.

[@FranklinJuniper-uh2lk]

And in the US as well! I finally heard something that made me sit up and pay attention, instead of falling asleep. I was about 13?

[@donalucino7401]

one of the reasons I love your reactions is that you read the lyrics for us. even if you don't know what the words are (lol at your slipknot videos) .

[@starlight6325]

This album was the birth of Heavy Metal....pure and simple.

[@joecarcione6636]

Sabbath's first album would be make more sense. Paranoid is the second album...

[@jayjonasen3325]

OzzY is the MaN! Legend status ✴️

[@JohnHazelwood58]

"Fun fact" ... Tommi Iommi - the guitarist of BS - lost two fingers ends in a work accident and uses fake finger tips while playing! That's how he "inventend" iconic "powerchords"!

[@SmeagolTheGreat]

Even "better", he worked at a factory and the fingertips were crushed by a metal press, a very heavy metal, so to say.. This is like the ultimate lore story of how the Heavy Metal genre came to be (even though the name is just a coincidence of course).

[@crankitorspankit]

Tony.

[@tracycuster4833]

Saw Ozzy and Black Sabbath in concert, in 1976.. Dallas Texas

[@ptourang2]

Ahh! Great blast from the past song for this old hippy

[@SnailMailShell]

The thing that stands out to me about Ozzy’s voice is the absence of vibrato. It’s flat, clear, and sharp. It’s pretty rare.

[@alexfletcher5192]

It started off almost as a joke. They were playing about with a variation on Led Zeppelin's equally concise 'Communication Breakdown' and it was the producer that suggested they run with it. I think it very nearly topped the UK chart!

[@88pjtink]

1970. The other must-watch video from that year is "Mississippi Queen" (live), by Mountain.

[@88pjtink]

Two of the hardest songs of the period.

[@lynette.]

Ozzie can sing like an angel and demon in one line.

[@StrawberryPie1973]

You are not the first person to hear "end your" instead of "enjoy" and he's been asked about it many times. You should definitely go check out some solo Ozzy... Bark at the Moon, Shot in the Dark, Suicide Solution, Rock n Roll Rebel, Crazy Train, The Ultimate Sin.... So many good ones to choose from.

[@hollygolightly1302]

Saw them in concert as a teen! Amazing

[@michaeldeas1969]

Enjoy your life, not end your life. There was a big controversy about this in the 70s when it came out. I was yelled at for playing it all the time, because I played it as much as possible 🙃

[@scottlunn5040]

60s 70s. grew up with real music. i was fortunate to be born in 62. we had the best music and nastiest cars.

[@AuntieM447]

I used to get speeding tickets in my '72 firebird with this song blasting. Bass turned up on the cassette deck..lol.

[@Robsan40]

You should check out an 80's metal band called Suicidal Tendencies. and their song "Trip At The Brain"

[@jmelvin28]

Ozzy's pseudonym is "The Prince of Darkness". He was on heavy LSD, Qualudes and other psychedelics for most of his life, yet put him on a stage and he goes from the mumbling old man to a legend. 🐐.

[@ralpholson7616]

8:07 I remember when I first heard Sabbath. Hallucinogens were involved. There was nothing else like it at the time.

[@Ph4n_t0m]

God they look like they're barely seventeen! I can't believe what an anthem this is and how young they were!

[@scotttrainer9704]

Black Sabbath Vol 4 was my first album back in 6th grade. Great stuff!

[@S.A.M.O.]

OMG Geto Boyz-Mind Playing Tricks on me. One of my favorites. Black Sabbath is awesome.

[@sharonchaput9705]

Ozzie has a fantastic voice. The pace of the music is a reflection of your mind racing when you are paranoid or manic. People can get paranoid with bipolar disorder.

[@brucehenderson7397]

Another great UK band 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@martinehermans6661]

Still one of my favorite albums from the moment it came out… remember the first time we were blown away.. on a turntable we listened about 10 times in a row… ❤

[@mitchellbeston1033]

You got the other two right but the third band in the holy trinity is Deep Purple, not ACDC. All those other bands, including ACDC, that you mentioned were inspired by Zeppelin, Sabbath and Purple. The bass on this song is awesome.

[@katiegwynn4495]

Hi! I've been listening to you for a couple months and I really dig what you do. I liked your mention that you were inspired by music other than the kind you create. What a beautiful thing! I'm also glad you went back and caught those lyrics. It's so easy to misunderstand and miss a good thing

[@jokerzwylde73]

Black Sabbath are the God Fathers of Heavy Metal and anyone who knows Metal or Rock will tell you that they are the OG's!!!

[@isaacvanwart-i2v]

Wrote this two minute masterpiece in about 10 minutes to fill out the PARANOID LP. It remains my favorite brief song (other brief songs like those of the Ramones or the LA punks who did dozens of sixty second songs. GREAT song. One of the best ever.

[@primoguerrero7928]

😂 you read off of live transcripts it seems.. no matter how crazy a crow is "Louder com'on!" Is Ozzy's Battlecry!!

[@joeseconi250]

Thank you BP you brought me back to my teens when Sabbath was my favorite band. I’ve seen them at least 10 times and it was always such an amazing show. Please my friend do War Pigs even if you do the MV the video for that song is animated and incredible. Much love from NYC

[@tinajones5372]

This is MY FAVORITE song by Black Sabbath 🎉

[@krisprepolec5616]

Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy, Oi, Oi, Oi!!!! (Sorry, I had to). So glad you had a chance to do this one.

[@machtshnel]

BP as others have mentioned about who the Unholy Trinity were. While you had some valid mentions of bands that can/ should fit in that role they all came after the true Unholy Trinity Sabbath Deep Purple and Led Zeppeli by atleast 5 years most 10 years later

[@michaelharter7486]

Black Sabbath is credited with being the FIRST "heavy metal" band by a large number of people. They were one of the first bands to come out with that dark, fast and heavy sound that is associated with metal music. Iron Maiden created another branch of the heavy metal genre. Likewise, bands like Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeath introduced the "speed metal" branch. (If you don't already know, Anthrax has done collaborations with Public Enemy and The Beastie Boys. They are definitely one of the bands you want to check out!)

[@Emma-og2jt]

My absolute favourite to dance to. Takes me right back to great times in the 70's. I still dance to this and it really wakens up the body.

[@SuleimanTheIndifferent]

When they recorded this song they needed another 3 min "filler" song, so Tony came up with the riff, and they just had Ozzy freestyle for about 45 minutes and they took the best parts and made it into paranoid.

[@backstabbath2690]

The freestyle recording of the song actually exists on an extended edition of the album which includes the raw demos for some other songs as well like Hand of Doom and iirc Walpurgis which is the original version of war pigs before they changed the lyrics to be about politics and war rather than black masses

[@lesliesylvan]

One of the greatest rock songs, EVER!!

[@gracemichelli.2am124]

Ozzy...🔥 Black Sabbath is awesome Great reaction ❤

[@kenneth2875]

Wikipedia- n Abrahamic religions, the Sabbath (/ˈsæbəθ/) or Shabbat (from Hebrew שַׁבָּת Šabbāṯ) is a day set aside for rest and worship. According to the Book of Exodus, the Sabbath is a day of rest on the seventh day, commanded by God to be kept as a holy day of rest, as God rested from creation. The practice of observing the Sabbath (Shabbat) originates in the biblical commandment "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy".

[@r8tr273]

You should try Joe Walsh, Rocky Mountain Way. Great song.

[@Leks3777]

I seen him in the 90's at Ozzfest! He always makes sure to say God bless!

[@dennish3032]

The bat was thrown onstage. He thought it was a toy like normal but it was caught flying over peoples heads. They broke its neck and threw it.

[@jacks9624]

Epic! It's the 70s man, you were either sane or crazy, no sissy stuff... LOL

[@markr878]

I don't think the unholy trinity was AC/DC but Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

[@jodymalotorres]

Sabbath are the pioneers of all rock groups today and to come

[@janicearroyo-wright8529]

Ozzy and Black Sabbath songs lyrics were commercialized and changed in the 90s I remember having original records and listening re-releases later. He did say "end your life, I wish I could congratulate"

[@mrtonysantos]

guitarist Tony Iommi had some fingertips chopped off on his last day at work at the factory before going full-time muso... he was inspired by Django Reinhardt who recovered from a wagon (caravan) fire that wrecked his left hand. Tony plays with fake fingertips, what a legend

[@yvoheaton6402]

Myself and three friends formed a band at school in London in 1969/70 and this was one of the numbers we played along with NIB. We also included some Hendrix, Free, Ten Years After, Joe Cocker, Led Zep, Cream and the Rolling Stones amongst others. When clearing out some old boxes the other week I found my lyrics book where I jotted down the words to all the songs I was going to sing...took me right back and I still remember all the words as though it was yesterday! My those were the days!!!

[@steveyaworsky6170]

Just confirming what has already been stated below - the unholy trinity was Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. All legends in their own right.

[@fredarsenault8987]

The bass player actually wrote all the lyrics and the arrangements, an unsung hero

[@reedster66]

Black Sabbath -The album, might be one of greatest albums ever made,imo. Give the song Black Sabbath a listen! Enjoy....

[@justjack0715]

Yeah, most bands during this period were singing about peace, love and understanding - and then along came Black Sabbath! I remember it well 😃😃😃

[@PANIC_aka_PinD]

The OG's of heavy metal. Ozzy's voice is iconic, haunting, and instantly recognizable anywhere. Another reactor made me realize something that really surprised me after listening to him for many years - he sings with no vibrato at all.

[@stacyvanvranken5934]

He is a giant teddy bear with a funny foul mouth. As for the tattoo on the hand it spells OZZY on his knuckles (incase he woke up and forgot who he was, lol) My favorite songs by him MR.CROWLEY, REVALATION MOTHER EARTH, GOODBYE TO ROMANCE, CRAZY BABIES, and of course his cover of WORKING CLASS HERO.
