Yet, Bill -- along with dozens of great drummers like Phil Ehart, Steve Upton, Floyd Sneed, Danny Seraphine and others -- is rarely included in "best of" lists. There you will find the usual, like Charlie Watts (meh), Neil Peart, etc. Bill should always be on these lists. Since he is not, we can say he is "underrated".

@@boomer3150 I can see the point you are trying to make but when someone says, someone is underrated we have to look at the big picture. People very rarely know the name of drummers in bands. Only base players and keyboard has less recognition. If you are not the front man or woman you don't get the love. Think of Janice. She had phenomenal backing, but nobody knows their names, they were just Big Brother and the Holding Company. So, we have to go to those in the know to know who is underrated or who is not and there are no drummers or drum fans alive who do not know and appreciate Bill Ward.

AT the age of 13, in 1971, I hadn't heard any Black Sabbath songs, because the AM radio station in my town only played top 40. But, my older brother, who was a drummer in a rock band, went on tour, and he brought me his entire record collection to safe guard while he was away. One afternoon, I was searching through the hundreds of albums and saw this one, and placed it on the turntable, and placed the needle on the groove. This was the first song. I don't believe that I listened to another song on the album. I just kept lifting the needle up at the end of this and starting it over again. Over and over. I knew there were protest songs. The war was going full strength. I worried that my brother would be drafted. This song effected me at the time when adult issues were becoming known to me. All of the music of that time was resonating in all of us.

You’ll never find another band like Sabbath. Definitely one of the innovators of heavy-metal. If not the innovator. There are some other good ones deep purple and a few other ones that were really hard really early on. You can imagine what people thought when the stuff came out in 1970. No one had ever heard anything like it. Parents wouldn’t let their kids listen to it. They thought it was all devil music. A lot of people still do lol it’s actually mostly the opposite they talk about how drugs are bad God is good and war and big government are bad. Sounds like they are spot on to me. The riff is so hard in this song and Bill Ward beat the drums like they owe him money. The baseline all through it is so deep. Ozzie‘s vocals are perfect in this. I grew up on it and it has never gotten old. It’s always been a jam and it’s always going to be. Sabbath is different

He started joking about the bomb craters, but for like two minutes he got really emotional about this is what war really is! It's waged by rich people, and fought by poor people, and always accomplishes bomb craters that little children play king of the hill in! He wasn't Ozzy in that moment, he was Dad.

Do the live version from 1970 - The video you watched has nothing to do with Sabbath. It was a fan made video

Great reaction. Always listen to the studio version first. You did so congratulations! 👍🤘

THE VIDEO IS GARBAGE THE MUSIC IS THE REAL THING NO ONE EVER SAW THIS AND THIS SONG WAS LEGENDARY WITH NO DAMN SCREEN JUNK

Oh come on. Why say that and for what reason?? Apparently, if called a official video now? Someone affiliated with Black Sabbath approved? You view the ORIGINAL VIDEO which is GERMAN-MADE I believe by a University? AS IT IS CALLED THIS - "Motherland "| Kurzfilm (2009) - The link to it.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6HOaKudeL2ghbs I just knew you were lusting to know so bad.....

I just got out of the Marine corps from veitnam. 1973 l was introduced to Black Sabbath by a friend. I was very down at the time, from the war. Miss out on a lot of things, such as music,movies,friends etc. The thing that really trip me out was everyone thought I was k.i.a ,even my own parents.the reason I brought this story up is instead of getting mental health at the va. Black Sabbath gave me the answer (war pigs lyrics) that song gave me all the therapy I needed to comeback to reality!!

This is a rare example of me liking a live version more than the studio recording. Live in Paris 1970 is nuts. They sadly snub Geezer Butler on bass and some of the lyrics are different but it’s an incredible performance.

The lyrics are different because they hadn't TOTALLY finished the song and put it on record yet, "Paranoid" still hadn't been released. That's what's so Great about that video. Listen to Ozzy, before they start, he says, "This is a New One, hope you like it".

OMG!!!! The guy on the bottom of the screen got me!!!! I was thinking he was having a stroke or a seizure?? Then I realized the joke, he was talking like Ozzy🤣🤣🤣. It’s funny Ozzie’s enunciation is so clear when he sings, but speaking….. he needs subtitles.

My mind was blown then as a 10 year old. It's still as good to me in my 60's. I've been a fan most all my life.

One of the greatest drummer performances on any song ever recorded. The guy is a beast, with an incredible ear for timing
