Teen Reacts To Black Sabbath - War Pigs (Live in Paris in 1970)!!!

[@justinthyme5382]

I was 30 in 1970,Now 82 years young, and still rocking mainly in my rocking chair, love and peace from Perth Australia 😎🎶🎵🎶🦘

[@mikeg.4211]

I was a teenager in the 70's. It was awesome. Bill Ward was the drummer, Tony iommi (eye-OWE-me) was the creative genius lead guitarist who invented metal, and Geezer (Terry) Butler was the great bass player and lyricist.

[@Immortalheart66]

Nothing will ever match the 1970’s,…and I mean never. The best time to grow up as a kid. Great reaction my friend!!!!!

[@dreamcruzer4743]

I couldn't agree more.

[@1BSDjunkie]

Heard this for the first time in 1978. Was 15 then. It really resonated with me. I was hooked on Black Sabbath immediately. Loved every song on their Paranoid album! ❤️🎸🥁

[@tomaleshire4145]

1970......my senior tear in high school!🤗 What a great time to be young and crazy!🤯 Ozzy taught us all how to head bang!🤪❤️✌️

[@NoviJimB]

And Bill Ward was doing all that with a very minimal drum set! Nothing like what everyone uses these days. Incredible performance by the whole band. The 70's were pretty crazy, I was born in 1960 and could tell you all kinds of stories, having grown up in Detroit. But what was really crazy was all the great music, especially starting with the Beatles in 64 and moving through the 60's and into the 70's. The creativity, talent and innovation was amazing.

[@larrythomas3058]

71 I was in Germany and saw these bands live. Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Humble Pie, Traffic, Grand Funk Railroad, Uriah Heep, Jeff Beck, Fleetwood Mac, Faces, Rory Gallagher, There was a two day outdoor concert in Speyer, Germany, called The British Rock Meeting and some of the above mentioned bands played there along with many others. It was a great time to be there.

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

Bill Ward was such a beast, just unreal. And a beautiful player when not in beast mode too. The stage volumes must've been unreal back then. They were very tight live. Lyrics are pretty different than studio version, must be very early performance. Love the studio lyrics. Funny Ozzy had same expressions and reactions that he always had later, crazed. Great video

[@lsp3]

I was a teenager in the 70's. It was awesome. And Black sabbath was my favorite band although there were so many other great bands also. Going to the concerts was incredible. Great memories.

[@crazydale1000]

I was in Vietnam in 1970. I heard Sabbath and was hooked. The guitar tone defines dirty. They killed

Song never gets old. 💥💥💥👍😎 SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT !!!!!!!

[@fixzeichner5592]

Guitarist Tony Iommi is missing the hand he's grabbing two Fingertips. . You can see the prostheses here. Bill Ward was a super powerful drummer. Geezer Butler, the bass player is barely seen here. Ozzy was very young here. Musically, the seventies were the best time I've experienced.

[@sharonpate5481]

I was 17 in 1970. There weren’t really any videos back then. You had to buy the record and have four giant speakers with an awesome stereo to blast the sound. The only other way to hear new music was the transistor radio or see them on tv. But we were getting to see live concerts for $7.50. So we got to see the music just as a lot of these great bands were starting to take off!

[@davidfinnell1660]

Teen in the 70's story. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foreigner, 38 Special coming to the civic center in 1977 tickets were $7.50 for 3 bands. I was 15 Pop said NO but I had to go lol. I faked being sick jumped out my bedroom window and took a bus. Never got caught!

I was 15 in 1970, and life was great fun until heroin entered the stage. Ten years later almost half of my best friends was dead... For those of us pot-heads who survived the mayhem was worth it, but I would rather have my friends back and alive!

[@flubblert]

That is so messed up. Yeah there was definitely a dark side to all the fun. Not to mention a Vietnam War raging and not knowing if you'd be called up.

Yes, I lost a lot of friends to drugs in the 70’s and early 80’s. Then late 80’s-90’s lost a lot of friends to AIDS.

[@janelleyurosky4688]

Yes! Crazy times but the best of times! I was 17 when I saw BS in concert in New Orleans. I ran up towards the stage with my polaroid instamatic camera and got the greatest shot of Ozzy before security caught up with me and shooed me back! Still have the pic after all these years! 😍✌

[@simply_psi]

Nice one Silas, so raw, so powerful, so good. Drummer is Bill Ward, with Tony Iommi on guitar and Geezer Butler on bass, which ever of those bands you go for you will love them, my suggestion do a week, doing a Who song one day, Deep Purple the next etc until you have done enough for you to decide which one to take a deeper dive into next. I would recommend diving into them all eventually as they are all great bands. In addition to these there are so many for you to jump into in the future, Lynyrd Synyrd, Eagles, Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Dire Straits, ELO, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes, Credence Clearwater Revival, Fleetwood Mac, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Hawkwind, Cream, Focus, The Stanglers, Iggy & The Stooges, The Ramones, The Knack, The Clash the list goes on and on.

Who is a great band, two rock operas and many classic albums.

Hi SIlas. I was a teenager when I saw Irish hard rock band Thin Lizzy in concert with the late lamented Phil Lynott on bass and vocals. I was in the centre of the second row of the balcony and his bass notes where hitting me in the diaphragm! It is the best concert I have ever been to! I would love you to react to Thin Lizzy on your channel.

[@reesezpeecez08]

Started college in 1970 and my first 2 concerts were Grand Funk Railroad , then Black Sabbath, both in 1971. You throw in The Who, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin and you have the best time to have been alive for music. You can't go wrong with Black Sabbath, The Who and Deep Purple for your future journey!

[@magicbrownie1357]

Bill Ward is ON FIRE in this video. LASHING those drums.

[@georgemcnair3647]

I was born in the 60s so I remember it all very well. My mom and Ozzy were the same age...so this is lullaby music to my ears.

[@peterfhere9461]

This was filmed on 20th December 1970. I saw them live on the 26th October 1970 doing the same set...... Good times!

Bill Ward was beating those drums like they owed him money. Damn, Ozzy Ozbourne was so young in this video dude

[@jeffreyhartley2679]

Yes the 70s was a wild but fun time Had a 69 Camaro and went to concerts almost every weekend growing up in Miami

[@jonhenke1504]

One of the funniest comments I've ever heard was from Ozzy Osbourne. Ozzy said when he was about a year and a half into Black Sabbath and making this crazy music that everybody loved. His mother and father showing that ridiculous wonderful British understatement and Ozzie's mother looked at him and asked him "Ozzy, are you sure you're just having the occasional beer"? You can imagine the parties that were going on in the late sixties and early seventies around these kind of groups and she asked him that question. When I heard that question from his mother I almost spit my beer across the room!!!!!!

[@peterrogers6503]

Great choice.

[@johnfoster5295]

Tony Iommi cut off the tips of 2 of the fingers of his right hand in an accident at work. And since he is left handed, his right hand is on the fretboard. So he made some fake fingertips and the rest is history. BTW... Tony Iommi - guitar Ozzy Osbourne - vocals Geezer Butler - bass Bill Ward - drums

[@sharonellis8776]

Great reaction to this awesome band! xx

[@jodythomas2724]

Bill Ward reminds me of the drummer for the Muppets

[@geekexmachina]

No suprise animal was drawn a few drummers from this era including Kieth Moon and John Bonham, and Ginger Baker so I expect some Ward had crept in too. (All the Electric Mayhem band were based on musicians)

[@stevewalsh4850]

I was a teenager in the 70’s, like most in the 70’s, they tell us we had a good time, don’t remember too much 😎Concert, including Black Sabbath that I had the pleasure of seeing live were epic, nothing like it today sadly

[@justinatest9456]

This is in my unoffical Top 3 Live Performances list, up there next to Grand Funk Railroad's Inside Looking Out 1969, and Pantera - Domination - Live In Moscow 1991. This list does not include Pink Floyd or Metallica, as that's not fair to anyone. The energy in this performance from Ozzy and Bill is amazing, and the walls must have been shaking. Pure thunder ushering in a new age of rock.

Please review Grand Funk Railroad "Inside Looking Out", the live version from 1969...it is by far the best live video from the era , IMHO....you will truly be amazed at what a 3 piece rock band can do...

[@michaelr4063]

Lifelong fan of The Who. Few things to help figure them out. In my opinion based on their studio work and bolstered by their reputation for being Greatest Live (concert) Rock and Roll Band in the World” you should start with “The Who, Won’t Get Fooled Again, live 1978, Shepperton Studios” and then work your way ‘out and around’ from there. The Who built their reputation on stage with blood, sweat, broken instruments and immense fluid talent. The Shepperton ‘Won’t Get Fooled...’ video captures all of that in 10 minutes. It shows the band at a low point in their career, angry, drunk, hungover, ragged and slightly out of tune and the filmed results are nothing short of GLORIOUS!! It’s also THE LAST time the legendary Keith Moon played drums for The Who. It happened in front of a delirious live audience.., and THIS IS THE LAST SONG of the set. He dies a few months later (alcohol related overdose). So anything from The Who after 1978 after 1978 will sound “different”. In 2002 the bass guitarist John Entwistle dies.. totally different from then on- not for the better. The Who’s “glory years” were from 1968?? - 1978. After that it’s hit or miss. Their studio recordings will intrigue you... THIS (and other live recordings) will show you why they were once, truly, “The Greatest”. I will leave a link shortly. Peace.... here’s a link to The Who WGFA Shepperton ‘78 kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3XJcpd-d9l-lbM. I’ll try and leave another in case it gets blocked. Really!!! Hope you check it out. I sure tried😎

Puddles just did a very respectful cover of this a couple of weeks ago. I highly suggest that everybody give it a listen. Peace/JT

[@ericutt4935]

Saw them in concert; amazing and very high energy throughout. Also Ozzy is just crazy.

[@Gekokujo76]

I answered Black Sabbath on the poll and this is the exact reason. All of those other bands are great and have a lot of worthwhile music....but Black Sabbath is an essential building block of so many other artists, bands, and genres. A band like Pearl Jam has OBVIOUS influence by The Who....but it's rare to hear a band and distinguish "The Who" influence in their music. If you had a basketball reaction channel...it makes sense to go back to the fundamentals of "dribbling" itself. When you see point guards in 2022 handling the rock, you will be able to see the fundamentals from the early days in your head because you watched the art of dribbling be created and mastered by the best. Black Sabbath is a Pioneering and Influential band in a way that most bands (even those on that poll) cant pretend to be.

[@williamcabell142]

GREAT Lyrics! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@helmutvogel901]

I was born in 1960 and am lucky to have a brother 5 1/2 years older, who showed me what good music was : Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Grand Funk, The Who, Led Zeppelin and much, much more. Took me to my first concert (Jethro Tull) when I was 14, with a bunch of his friends. When the two guys at the ends went to get beers, they both got me one!! So here I was, the youngest, and the only one with two beers!! And when my brother tried to take one, all his friends backed me when I said NO WAY! (I have to state here that I have German parents, both of them, so I had already had a beer before, it is considered normal. Not to get drunk, at that age, but to have a beer occasionally was okay.)

[@pauldavis2535]

It was great

[@SnoBear626]

Tony Iommi is just an awesome guitar player. Even more amazing is that the fingers on his fretboard hand have prosthetic tips. He injured them when he was 17 years old.

[@79BlackRose]

Is that the smallest drum kit in the history of rock? 😮 And I never knew Tony was left handed.

[@TimothyLafreniere]

It is a 4 piece Jazz kit, the only thing anyone needs. Tony is also missing 2 fingertips....

[@79BlackRose]

@@TimothyLafreniere A jazz kit, exactly. This is rock music.

[@TimothyLafreniere]

@@79BlackRose Ringo played a jazz kit. This is 1970, and likely rented equipment as they are in Paris. People still play jazz kits to this day. If you think those drums sound small, get a Qtip.

[@brewstergallery]

Hey, my names Ned and I'm a drummer. No that is not the smallest kit ever etc it's just that Ward is a big effin Man from Birmigham. The kit is actually a 5 piece, a Ludwig 14 supraphonic, 13 in. rack, two 16 in. floor toms and a 22 bass drum. It is a normal kit for playing rock back then or now, not a Jazz, Club or Cocktail kit like Elvin Jones or Max Roach would use. No matter what the size is he's cutting through all those amps and a PA with nothing more than 4 mics, plus brute force, technique and talent.

[@geekexmachina]

Concerts are always interesting, especially smaller gigs. Ozzy Always looks timeless and his Brummie Accent doesnt appear in his singing voice .

[@vicprovost2561]

Great performance for sure, Bill Ward is out to destroy his drum kit but you need to hear the pristine mix and correct lyrics of the studio original. One of Rock's best songs, try the studio when you can, worth a listen and a spot on a playlist. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎶

One of the holy trinity bands. Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin are the other two. Pink Floyd quickly became my favorite bands, not Black Sabbath. I loved Deep Purple though. My teenage years were in the seventies. I grew up with these bands. They inverted Hard Rock and that eventually evolved into Metal music. Have a look at the song Paranoid.

Hey man, believe it or not I saw Queen and Kansas in the same show, 1973 I think it was and the tickets were $4.50. Then about 25 years later I saw Kansas in a bar. How about at age 15 driving mom's car drunk and wrecking it. But never do any type of drugs. Keep it clean. You'll go far. Grow the hair long, I think we'd like to see that. Especially head bobbing. Bill Ward. He hits them suckers hard. Tommy Iommi on guitar who also had artificial fingertip's due to an accident. And of course Ozzy. Oh Geezer Butler bass.
