WAIT A MINUTE!! | R&B Fan Reacts to Black Sabbath - Hand Of Doom (FIRST TIME HEARING)

[@LFRFAMILY]

*That DRUMMER blew me away Bruh!*

[@stinajoy123]

Have you listened to any Motley Crue? That was my fathers favorite til the day he died he passed away six years ago to heroin overdose it breaks my heart so there’s some drug awareness for you it will kill you doesn’t matter who you are heroin doesn’t care who you are it will kill you, Motley Crue had some drug issues in the past that their bassist Nikki sixx wrote and had a solo album about I know a lot of older rock music talks about dark stuff but their era of time none of the stuff was out that’s out now so they spoke messages in their songs. March is my fathers birthday month I’m gonna give a shout out for some sort of heroin/ drug awareness, maybe play a song off of Nikki sixxs album about it, it’s sad how many people we lose to drugs I miss my father everyday but he was wrong for it he knows I’m upset but he’s in peace his life wasn’t easy it ate him up inside and it’s sad 😔 I wish people would reach out more when their in trouble but thanks man I love your stuff keep doing you LFR fam your awesome

[@awmerriam4]

Bill Ward on drums!

[@dancetimeedwards4479]

Ozzy OSBOURNE..is that smooth lead vocal

[@TheGbuff]

The wizard should be next the drums are crazy

[@fredtello]

2 best drummers... John B from Zep and ........Bill ward from sabbath... top 2 rock drummers ever..

[@michaelbaldwin8484]

The story of this song is that early in their career, Sabbath did a residency in Germany. While there, they met many American servicemen who were coming back from Vietnam with severe heroin addiction and suffering the effects of PTSD

[@philipdean1614]

Been listening to this song for 40 years. Didn't know the back story. From one Sabbath fan to another. Thank you. Peace out

[@electricwizard3000]

I heard Geezer say it was inspired by their first tour of the US; many in the audience were current and former soldiers of the Vietnam war. When they got to know some of these fans, Geezer realized they were traumatized and self-medicating with smack. He wrote the lyrics, so I trust that version.

[@E4drht]

My dad was one of those men that came out if nam hooked on heroin and exposed to agent orange.

[@mr.v8194]

True story brother.

[@michaelbaldwin8484]

@Andy Brian they did 6 weeks in Hamburg and also spent time in Zurich in the fall of 1969

[@bluetopguitar1104]

Bill Ward is underrated as a drummer. You can tell he's been very schooled in jazz. Sabbath swings.

[@kikivon3501]

Bill Ward is the TRUTH!!!!! Criminally underrated.

[@burtknighten1873]

True and not. Its not so much jazz influence as it is reactionary. Those were his words

[@LUckybones25]

Most underrated drummer ever! He’s a legend imo.

[@lyleschoepflin5444]

And think he did this with a simple drum setup, no big drum kits just him and the drums. He doesn't get enough credit for his skill.

[@edbennett8257]

This song saved my life in 1980. I was going down the drain with drugs and partying and listened hard to this while very stoned. The message of what I was doing to myself at that point came through loud and clear through the haze, and I was able to pull myself back from the brink before it was too late.

[@AngryPostmanStockholm]

Was there 2 years ago, bathtub and a knife... with all those thoughts (whole life) spinnin in the head, but physically i just couldn't. Lost in the wheels... take care Ed.

[@meditationmusicbyalexjackson]

Same here man....maybe 92 for me. Song saved me.

[@choticogamer]

I’m glad for you man, that’s why the lyrics will be always important

[@bioof4]

Glad you’re here man God bless

[@alexandernicholas7150]

Really glad that it reached you- and you are OK. I think B Sabbath had the song as a warning and they wanted to get the message out.

[@JC-es5un]

"War Pigs" , "Fairies Wear Boots" , and "The Wizard" are all classic Black Sabbath songs worth checking out.

[@JC-es5un]

"War Pigs" and "Fairies Wear Boots" have insane drumming and "The Wizard" has Ozzy playing harmonica on it.

[@shspurs1342]

War pigs has been and done by him. Watch the video he did.

[@123123boobies]

Fairies wear boots and the wizard are 2 of my favorite sabbath songs

[@SM-bu9bz]

Warning, into the void and NIB also, and don't forget "bit of finger".

[@lafountain40]

I'm a bit late to this but the entire paranoid album and master of reality are masterpieces

[@ClevelandPotters]

FINALLY SOMEONE commented on Hand of Doom instead of Paranoid or War Pigs lol! Sabbath has so many great songs!! Hands of Doom one of the best songs by Sabbath!!

[@TWANDTW]

Hand of Doom and Electric Funeral are my favorites from Paranoid, and they're seem to be forgotten when people react to that album, they just go for the easy ones (that are also awesome, but much more known)

[@ShawnW-ir4kw]

I agree my favorite or one of by Sabbath

[@91GT347]

It's about heroin, coming back from Vietnam, and using heroin is basically suicide.

[@thenibnetwork4638]

Correct. And correct.

[@kierstenridgway4634]

That's exactly what I thought. ✌😔

[@douglasgawitt8818]

It has to do with guys coming back from Vietnam. Into the void, snowblind, sweatleaf. Just to mention a few more to check out.

[@richardcranium5048]

Tomorrow's Dream

[@beth2175]

That's Ozzy Osbourne singing.

[@davidosborn9469]

So many new fans on this reaction videos haven't figured that out yet that Ozzy Osbourne is the lead singer of Black Sabbath

[@stoverkitchen1168]

I know

[@charliegeorge9393]

dear me

[@goldenagenut]

Ozzy has such a crazy rep from his tv shows etc, but Ozzy Osbourne has one of the best voices in rock and roll, so many people underrate him as a vocalist. In his prime he could hold his own against anyone.

[@chucklasher6061]

@@goldenagenut no one has ever underestimated the singing of Ozzy. They started in the 60s and I've been listening to B S and Ozzy for decades

[@cricket8646]

The name Black Sabbath was taken from a 1950's Boris Karloff movie entitled "Black Sabbath." Geezer Butler wrote most of Sabbath's lyrics and they would go to the theater and watch horror movies together.

[@f.murphy8340]

"Into the Void." Astounding groove.

[@If6turnsouttobe9]

Yeah my favorite. We been covering it in bars for years.

[@rickyj2013]

My favorite sabbath song. That opening riff is fucking sick.

[@mikem3543]

Opening riff is the heaviest thing in the universe.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

People talk about Sabbath being heavy metal, but just wait a second there, you're shortchanging a great band. There's blues, funk, rock, punk, metal. Sabbath was much more than the sum of their alleged metal parts.

[@OzzFan1000]

Sabbath actually started out as a blues band before adding elements of rock (punk, funk, and metal weren't really a think at that time). The fusion of blues and rock is the basis for metal and is why Black Sabbath is considered the progenitors of heavy metal.

[@miguelfg93]

Tony Iommi said he considered Black Sabbath as Hard Rock not Heavy Metal.

[@OzzFan1000]

Most progenitors of a new thing fail to see themselves as being the beginning of a new thing. They tend to see themselves as just doing their own thing. It is usually outside observers that notice when a new thing is truly the start of something different and decide to put a new label on it. So while Iommi and Ozzy both have said they view their music as hard rock, most everyone else recognizes their band as the start of heavy metal, myself included.

[@mojobag01]

"listen to that pocket baby". THAT is what this band was all about. You nailed it.

[@LFRFAMILY]

HELL YEAH!!!

[@Blaze_1961]

I credit this song for keeping needles out of my arms in my younger years.

[@hollywoodharriet13]

Saw Black Sabbath at the Chicago Auditorium August 1971. I was stone straight (designated driver) and it was the scariest concert I had ever been to. Crazy energy and lots of spaced out kids! Can't remember the warm up band, but Black Sabbath made quite an impression. Had never driven on a freeway before but I didn't let my friends know that until we arrived home.

[@aguirrethewrathoflog]

Sabbath wants you to be happy with the Sweet Leaf but not to die of heroin addiction

[@richardpennock6448]

Bill Ward is the drummer, and as a drummer myself, he's one of my favorite drummers of ALL time.. He's an absolute beast behind the kit.. Bill Ward and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin were great friends and respected the hell out of each other.. Love your reaction to Sabbath, keep em coming.. Black Sabbath is better than Zeppelin, change my mind.....

[@charlesdeichman5115]

I had this same discussion with someone 7 years ago. We had to agree to disagree, but I know Sabbath is better. You won’t find this level of depth in Zeppelin songs.

[@coachmikesfilmroom3111]

I'm a man who likes a challenge, this you've posed the impossible sir.

[@joenefflen845]

Yeah, while I am a bigger Zep fan, if I could be like any drummer, it would be Bill Ward. He is like a funky avalanche. I LOVE his style.

[@hallamalla98]

As a drummer with a Black Sabbath tattoo on my arm and wearing my vest with a Black Sabbath backpatch I can't do anything but agree. Black Sabbath are undisputed. Bill is my favorite drummer now, however Bonham was for many years and also the reason that got me into drumming. But Black Sabbaths songs and as a band overall beats Zeppelin. Very different bands though, so it's hard to compare. But still, Sabbath is better 😄

[@nodaysback1]

I used to hold a hard stance on the Sabbath v Zeppelin debate.. that Sabbath crushed Zeppelin w/o question and Iommi made Page get him more beer all day long. loll smh.. have since lightened up a little bit on it.. Zeppelin earned a place among RnR's Elite bands of the classic era. Their list and variety of hits is undeniable. After a certain level is attained, the choice becomes which type of "great" do you prefer? That said, Sabbath's tone stops you in your tracks and their groove hits you with the brute force of a run away cement truck. No other band was doing that back then. That's why *Sabbath will Always be the King of That Particular Hill.* Edit: Btw... Yes, Ward and Bonham were old friends from Birmingham... But, Bonham was actually Iommi's best man at his first wedding!

[@destinyreelly2974]

Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath are my two favorite bands. You are going to love them when you dive in. Their drummer, Bill Ward, was a BEAST. ‘SNOWBLIND’ is a must.

[@anthonyatwell2346]

Snowblind is my favorite sabbath song and coincidentally my favorite of bill wards

[@mikeanderson8939]

Brotha's reacting to Black Sabbath bruh! You feel the bass and drums cuz it's in your soul, then react to the singer/ lyrics... you fucking get it bruh. Love it bruh!

[@Screwhead]

The first four Black Sabbath albums are easily some of the best music ever made! Everyone in the band are absolute monsters at their craft! The drums are tight but groovy as hell, the bass is catchy as hell, the guitar has the best and most timeless riffs ever, and Ozzy just brings it all together with his voice and lyrics!

[@longbow60435]

Absolutely ,none better! I was lucky to live in that era.

[@steakndcheese]

First 4? Sabotage is absolutely brilliant

[@greekpapi]

....and dont forget the 2 great albums they did with DIo!!!!

[@josephrobichaud2852]

Ozzy was a great front man with a very distinct sound and delivery, but he rarely ever wrote his own lyrics lol...

[@ShawnW-ir4kw]

Well said my thoughts exactly they were inovators that helped shape and influence other rockers in the genre of rock

[@lonerwiththecamera]

Watching you react to this tune makes me love this song even more. Everyone should be open to all genres.

[@ShawnW-ir4kw]

Absolutely agree I never got into the dark twisted and drug fueled part of metal music but Sabbath was and will always be in my top bands

[@klaptongroovemaster]

I have been begging reactors for this one for a long time. Total badass.

[@metallicaforlife1997]

same man, I think this might be my favorite sabbath song after many years of listening to them, I love people's reaction to the slow, jazzy parts of the song. was super hyped when I saw the thumbnail for this

[@etchief]

Your guess at where the name "Black Sabbath" came from had me rolling!

[@brutisfletcher]

Dark, laid back and groovy describes Sabbath very well.

[@joshoberg9797]

You'll find this whole album to be amazingly good. Bill Ward on drums can match Bonzo.

[@josues.junior5409]

and in my opinion BW is more original and unique..

[@craven1927]

"Dark, laid back and groovy" You just described Black Sabbath perfectly. This song is about drug addiction, specifically heroin addiction among Vietnam veterans following the war.

[@bigcraiggles9838]

I haven't heard this in years brought back some memories

[@stangriffinstan_the_alaska9668]

This was the first song I learned how to play period. The very first. That was 40 years ago. Bringing back great memories. Peace from Stan the Alaskan. And now you know why I'm a metal head from the beginning. My favorite band All day. Influenced my guitar playing for sure.

[@67Aquaholic]

So glad you noticed Bill Ward back there on drums. Man was a beast back there. Underrated for sure.

[@jamesallen1156]

When you get a fine jazz drummer and free him up to play metal or heavy rock, this is hat you get. May I suggest "A National Acrobat" or "Sweet Leaf" by this group? The very beginnings and essence of metal. Hand of Doom was recorded in 1970. Still relevant today.

[@frankpoperowitzmusic]

Love Sabbath. I got to meet the entire band back in the 90s in Philly. Ozzy, Bill Geezer and Tony!

[@rifki9055]

Sweet Leaf! Supernut, Snowblind!🤟🤟🤟🔥🔥🔥 Van do whole album Paranoid 👍👍👍

[@kennedy6587]

I always heard this as an anti heroin song

[@thenibnetwork4638]

That's why I requested it. Heroin is a dead end folks. Period.

[@warren4110]

It is!

[@craigkowald3055]

Anti-war and anti-heroin.

[@checkpointchecky9665]

Me 2

[@LUckybones25]

It’s amazing that this music is 50+ years old, and still sounds heavy af!

[@edhudson6627]

The Sabbath sound came about when everyone was playing the radio friendly bubble gum. Geezer thought they weren't cute enough to get away with bubble gum. They decided to scare the shit out of people, and completely changed Rock

[@ginabringuel8247]

I love this song because it really captures a moment in time. It's important to remember the effects war had on the returning vets. I feel the vibe and music, it all captures and illustrates the story. This is just so well done. Why don't we have music like this anymore?

[@nostrilnick]

Best metal-jazz drummer ever, the unmatched riff master Iommi, Geezer's demented mind providing the insane lyrics and hammering bass, and the prototypical metal front man. All in one band, how could they miss?

[@rhiannonvorstag9403]

Growing up...Everyone wanted to Condemn Sabbath, because they sung "The Truth"....! "They" never even "LISTENED"to what Ozzy was saying ! ..I Continued to listen to them& Nobody can make me Stop !!!!....."Warpigs",baby!

[@jorel80]

yeah man, it is dark, and groovy, and soulful, and yes even fun! That part in the middle when the heavy groove drops "You're having a good time baby..."- that part kills me every time. Its all about soldiers dealing with PTSD and turning to drugs

[@MrGremlin69]

Well done for doing this one mate

[@jerb963]

I love him discovering Black Sabbath!!! ONE OF US ONE OF US!!

[@knightyyz]

Bill Ward is an under rated drummer in my opinion.

[@thenibnetwork4638]

Thank you so much!

[@SimonHelling]

Goddamn Right!

[@kendurden7496]

Yes, this is a song about Vietnam Vets with PTSD and heroin addiction, to deal with what they saw and went through. It also talks about heroin addiction killing you. Thanks for reviewing that! Some of their other songs along those lines have already been mentioned.

[@craigmacdonald7764]

In my humble opinion the greatest band of all time

[@Kylotheson]

hell ya its a black sabbath wave passing on my soulll

[@Mike-bx4ww]

Good day, this song was about the turmoil of the Vets coming home from the Viet Nam War and having to deal with the atrocities of what they'd witnessed, ( Now called PTSD). MANY of them came back, ALREADY addicted to heroin, and were trying to escape the mental anguish they indured. I was 9 years old when this album first came out, My Dad had just come back from a 2 year "Tour", working in a MASH type unit. Luckily he turned to Religion to cope. On a Good note, listening to this album inspired me to play guitar and achieve a wonderful career in music.

I'm glad you have experienced Sabbath! The world's greatest band! Well, in my opinion lol! My favorite is "Behind the Wall of Sleep"...I actually got to see ALL ORIGINAL MEMBERS play in West Palm Beach Florida in around 1997-98. I was about 24 yrs old & never in my life did I think I would get that chance to see them live! But after that, I told myself I could die happy! 🤘🏻👅🤘🏻

Destroying yourself with hard drugs. Not wanting to face reality and then losing your love for life.

Correct.

[@joshludwick8645]

Yes, sir. It's much more frightening than death to kill your own inner love and still have to walk around without a soul.

[@stevegans3517]

The Sabbath rabbit hole is a deep one. This is four white guys from England. This came out around 1971. They didn't invent heavy metal, but they defined it. So many good songs. That leader singer, BTW, is Ozzy Osbourne. Check out "Symptom of the Universe", "Children of the Grave", "War Pigs", "Supernaut", "Iron Man", "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"

[@randycomerford2038]

This is my favorite song from Sabbath, cause its so slow and heavy amd thats what so great about them. Every member of the band just kills it on this tune.

[@warren4110]

The Sabbath is actually Sunday. They named themselves after a 1963 Boris Karloff horror film because they were going to make music about the not so nice side of life.

[@thenibnetwork4638]

I don't mean to correct you disrespectfully sir but the Sabbath is Saturday.

[@warren4110]

J. Anthony, you may not mean to correct me but, you’re doing a really good job! In ancient times the Sabbath was Saturday. For an awful long time, Christianity has proclaimed Sunday as the Sabbath. The only religion that didn’t go along with this view was the Seventh Day Adventist’s which, as their name implies, still worship on the Saturday.

[@MrDizzyvonclutch]

Black Sabbath started out as a blues band, they were called Earth. When Tony got his fingertips sniped off they changed things up . I enjoyed this one!

[@jordanrhodes929]

you can’t go wrong with any recommendations in these comments but A National Acrobat is an absolutely GOATed riff and song

[@humanoftheplasticage3711]

Love that you are digging it....

[@Snake3004]

Nice reaction.🤘🏻 Actually, the story behind the band's name is interesting. They were called "Earth" at first but one day, they saw a movie title on the other side of the road and it was a horror movie called "Black Sabbath". So they thought it would be a cool idea to change their name since people pay for getting scared and they wanted to scare people as well.😁 And then they invented metal... Yep.🤘🏻 You should check out "Iron Man", "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", "Symptom Of The Universe", just to name a few. Singer - Ozzy Osbourne Guitarist and riffgod - Tony Iommi Bass player - Geezer Butler Drummer - Bill Ward

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

I knew you'd love this, Bill Ward at his best. Geezer & Bill were a great great rhythm section. And Geezer wrote almost all the lyrics, so this is great song to show off that talent too. It was about PTSD after Vietnam, basically, and dealing with it with heroin.
