[@kelvinmann1058]

The message is generational.

[@Michael-xp7gw]

the video was made years after the song was written and recorded. The song was written as a war protest. Vietnam was going at the time and this was the band reacting to it.

[@johnp9298]

Not so much. The film of the Hindenburg was made in 1937, before WWII. It was representative of German global expansion.

[@stevehanham9266]

​@@johnp9298It's got nothing to do with the song though. This video is totally unrelated to the track and in my opinion should be ignored. Oh and I bought the Paranoid album when it was released. I was 15 at the time. 😊😎🎸🇺🇦🇬🇧

No, originally this was a song about witches and was called Walpurgis. Record company thought too "controversial" so they had to rewrite it and Warpigs was the result.

Already mentioned, but remember to review in the context of the song and not the video. Many young "reacting" Tubers seem to get fixated on the video. The song was released in 1970, well before the video augmentation or interpretation of the song. The song is indeed a powerful classic.

[@Sammylu-greenbeatsred]

Awesome reaction Maddy! When this song came out in 1970 it wasn't about Vietnam specifically. The title of the song was changed from Walpurgis (something to do with witchcraft) to War Pigs at the request of the record company. I just love the musicianship and Ozzy's vocals. The lyrics still ring true whatever the band's original intensions.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Oh my goodness, your comments in the middle with your emotion, really got me worked up. This is such an anthemic song, but wow. ❤

[@hallranch548]

Have you ever been to a place where they played this song live ? We played many places, one of them a garlic harvesting shed, and played this song. This is a song where everyone there sings along, they are all part of the song ! Yes, we had a singer, and he sang, but so did everyone else. It is an experience, not just another song to listen to.... I will never hear this song the same..... Geezer Butler wrote the lyrics.......

[@Jean-FrancoisPirenne]

A bit of history here: the 'war pigs' was a tactic developped by the roman legions against Carthago and their war elephants. Pigs were set on fire and released in order to cause panic and chaos among the elephants. The pigs that did not die by their burns were trampled by the panicking elephants. By extension, a war pig is a soldier sacrificed on the battlefield.

[@krusig7467]

Didn't know that thanks for the info.

This may be true but, in the context of the song, the “ War Pigs “ are the politicians!

black sabbath is my second favorite band of all time. my brother (r.i.p) got me hooked on alot of classic rock bands. this video is chilling. 2 lighten up things. maddy when you first start off your videos you sound like a dj on the radio. good day friends your on the hottest rap, since the sale at the baby gap. your listening to maddy on 105.7 the chicken nation of good vibrations. hit the sub button just right, and i might allow you to dream of me tonight. ok im ending that here. its ok to be emotional maddy. so next time the carpet wont comeout easy. remember this video it will give you the strength of 2 grinches and you'll be able to pull it out.

Black Sabbath is not only Ozzy....the classic quartet is the guitarist Tony Iommi (the only constant member in the band), the bassist (and main lyricist) Geezer Butler, the drummer Bill Ward and Ozzy. Try to hear the song again without the video. This is just a fan video that made some years ago and mainly distracts you from the excellent musicianship of Black Sabbath. Or instead you can watch the live version in Paris, in 1970...you can feel the ordinary sound that days....

I would highly recommend Black Sabbaths "electric funeral" (Music video) It's about the horrors of nuclear war. And Black Sabbaths' "hand of doom" It's about the journey of a addict.

We need to divide ourselves from those who wish to cause division & those who wish to be divided. In order to coexist we must be on the same page. Those who wish to live in a loving, caring & peaceful society can not live with those who enjoy hatred, violence & war. As much as we would all like to believe in a dystopian world, we have to live in separate places when we are not only on different pages but reading from very different books.

[@3rdOption-l9t]

But, "those who enjoy hatred, violence & war" will not tolerate "those who wish to live in a loving, caring & peaceful society". They _crave_ power, via money, and they claw their way to the top of any power structure by any means; violence, deception, cheating, corruption. All of which, they enjoy. At our expense. The conflict between exploiters, and those who simply want to live their lives with their families in peace, has been a never-ending struggle for mankind. We go through cycles as corruption and power accumulation reaches a point of injustice where the masses will no longer tolerate it, a revolution of some kind manifests, then the cycle begins again, where the Evildoers regroup, reorganize, re-consolidate power, and take over. But our masters went to the best schools, and _they_ learned history. They know well and good how the tables will turn against them, and they've planned on how to prevent the masses from coming together. First, _divide_ _and_ _conquer_ , using the media to keep the populace from uniting. Then, develop a censorship regime. That's what the "freedom-loving" "democracies" are doing right now, by co-opting & regulating social media companies, so the public cannot have unauthorized sources of information, and cannot communicate freely amongst themselves. To "protect the children", and "stop misinformation". Then, surveillance systems. Your phone, your car, your TV, your computer. This is better than East Germany and "1984" combined. Then, a militarized police state to enforce compliance. Soon to be made efficient via AI, and without conscience, with drones and robots.
