Frank Zappa loved "Supernaut". When asked about it, he stated, "I like it because I think it's prototypical of a certain musical style, and I think it's well done." And he correctly noted that "Black Sabbath is the archetype of that style, the hard-core." --Frank Zappa

A lot of bands have covered "Supernaut" but none of them come close to the power of Sabbath. One of Tony's best riff's.

"I've seen the future, and I've left it behind". One of Ozzy's best lines. The bass line was also incredible

This is gold! 🙏🏻 Bill Ward is a god.

I blame this album for my hearing loss. Headset on and full blast night after night.

Lol 😂 La “Them muthafukas cookin”!!’ Hell yes they were! And so do you guys!

“Is this the whole record?” 😂 Dude I almost fell lover laughing at that Che.

The greatest riff of all time. All hail Tony Iommi!!!

Back in the late 70s age about 16 I found this album at a thrift store.Bought it for 50 cents.Went home and me and my friend Mike Rocked out to it.Problem was it had a bad heat warp and as it made it around the turntable it would slightly warble the sound which was perfect to go along with the dirt weed we was smoking

This song always kicks ass ! Even today !

All hail SUPERNAUT!! One of Tony's ALL time best riffs... Love when Tony comes back in after Bills drum solo, talk about HEAVY! I think Zappa said it was one of his favorite songs of all time..

Lots of great tracks on IV. I can't wait for you guys to hear and react to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath!

Everyone is always blown away by how talented and influential Ozzy really was in his day. They expect the doddering old druggie wandering around in a bathrobe, and they instead get this completely original rock and roll force of nature. And he has been both.

Bill Ward was unbelievable!

Classic bands' careers were often best at their midpoint. Vol 4, Zeppelin 4, Revolver, Katy Lied, Who's Next ...

My second favorite Sabbath album. Technical Ecstacy is #1

First album always wins for Nostalgia purposes, but VOl 4 will always be the real winner

Frank Zappa said Supernaught is his favorite Black Sabbath song!

Amazing song off this album with Tony Iommi filthy riffs, and a little carribean mixed in with it to boot. One of my favorites as well as Frank Zappa and John Bonham.

John Bonham's favorite Sabbath song.

Supernaut kicks all kinds of ass! One of those songs that fully inspires an Air Guitar moment (e.g., Heartbreaker, Ain’t Talking About Love, Whole Lotta Rosie live, you get the picture).😅

Tony. Stoned in an LA studio. Stark naked. FX is just an inside joke. Supernaut on the other hand...

I think you guys r the best reactors of sabbath. You get it. Yoget thier message better than anyone. Keep it up.❤😂

That riff.... THAT RIFF THAATT RIIIFFFFF! Jesus. Sabbath should have named this album Black Sabbath: The Coke Sessions. How they put this together is one of the greatest feats known to man. What an album.

Great reaction gentlemen! …and Che, I agree with you 100%. I’ve been in love with Ozzy’s voice since I first heard it back when I was 14, and I’ll be 50 this year. He’s a true legend - with Sabbath, and as a solo artist.

I knew it was a Sabbath day for yall. Thanks, guys.

Always loved Vol 4

This quite possibly can be the best metal riff ever.

Tony is giving a clinic on hammer ons and pull offs with that solo!

On some days, this is my favorite Black Sabbath track. What a fucking banger.

Zakk Sabbath (Zakk Wylde). Does an amazing cover of this for he is a Huge Sabbath fan and playing with Ozzy for many years

Killer album, #4 of the first 6 are all classic all a little different but all are utterly killer. The best band of their genre, then, now and in the future. Enjoy Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath, they do some prog in their heaviness the next 2 albums, first listens freaked us out! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶

FYI snowblind Lyrics....What you get and what you see Things that don't come easily Feeling happy in my vein Icicles within my brain (cocaine) Something blowing in my head Winter's ice, it soon will spread Death would freeze my very soul Makes me happy, makes me cold My eyes are blind but I can see The snowflakes glisten on the tree The sun no longer sets me free I feel there's no place freezing me Let the winter sun shine on Let me feel the frost of dawn Fill my dreams with flakes of snow Soon I'll feel the chilling glow Don't you think I know what I'm doing Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong You're the one who's really the loser This is where I feel I belong Crystal world with winter flowers Turns my day to frozen hours Lying snowblind in the sun Will my ice age ever come Reply

Sabbath! 🤘🏻

I remember coming home from Houston Texas , my friends and i on our way home to San Antonio , were just 18 , 19 years old then now 64 🤔😉

dedicated to the great COKE cola company of los angeles

LOVE SABBATH ... do their next album and the next.. what a trip in music where going to go more please.. say no more ☮️🇦🇺🇺🇸

Geezer and Ward killin' it as they always do.

Was waiting for your Reactions, Supernaut in my top 5 BS songs!!!

Finally Laa And Chee! SUPERNAUGHT!!

Over 40 years of listening to Black Sabbath and this is only the second time I’ve listened to FX. It actually pisses me off to this day because if it wasn’t for that song you would be able to play the first 4 Sabbath albums without skipping a single song. The GOATS.

Frank Zappa's favorite Sabbath Rif.

I don’t think I’ve listened to FX in its entirety more than a couple few times, since I was a teenager 35 years ago.. I’d always skip that track and go straight to Supernaut! Che had me rollin when he chimed in wondering what’s happening. 😂

THE LAST DRAGON.. One movie I can watch anytime Sho'nuff ...

Sabbath on a Friday is a good day

Once that riff gets its hooks in you it's over! Couldn't wait for you to react to this one! Yes!

I remember this song my son loved Ozzy, thank you for the memories guys.

It's about time, guys. I thought you gave up on Sabbath. Glad to see that you are back to them!!

FX, supposedly came about by Tony Iommi's gold cross hitting his guitar with his cross necklace, other stories are that the guys were hitting his guitar with their "appendages" lol.

"is this the whole record?"my reaction was the same 50 years ago when i first heard fx-then all was forgiven when supernaut thundered in

CONTINUING ON VOL.4, NIIIICCCE GUYS!!! 👍😊

This is my walking out fight song

I recently read that Supernaut and Iron Man were two of Frank Zappa's favourite songs, which I found surprising considering the complexity of Zappa's music and the relative simplicity of those two Sabbath songs. Personally, there are many Black Sabbath songs I prefer to Iron Man, but Supernaut is right near the top for me. In any event, I love Sabbath and I love Zappa, so who am I to argue with the great man?

Wow, I think this is my favorite Sabbath so far. I grew up during this time but I really didn't listen to Black Sabbath, even though of course I was aware of it. They live up to their reputation.

You guys have Snowblind next!!! It is one of their best. It's all about Cocaine. The riff, beat and voice are amazing!!!!! Then Under the Sun at the very end is one of their best songs also! You'll see!!!!

There is a cover version of SUPERNAUT by Ministry & Trent Reznor under the name 1,000 Homo Djs. In that version, they actually say the word SUPERNAUT.

Thxs finally

I CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU GUYS TO GET TO ( SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH ) LAH AND CHI 😊

There are a lot of Black Sabbath albums. All the way up to 13. They all sound very different. But, one still knows Tony is in the house.

Ok so this week ya gave me my top 3 bands. ZZ. LS BS add some VH and don’t get better for me. This song always gave me Hendrix vibes. Ty fellas 🔥!!!!

Bonzo and Zappas fave sabbath track.

Supernaut was John Bonham’s favorite Sabbath song

Supernaut. Might be the baddest of all BADASS Iommi riffs.

Ca t wait till they get to Sabbatoge.😮😮

"I've seen the future and I've left it behind" could imply a rejection of a future that was expected or anticipated, and instead choosing to step into the unknown or create a new path. The album marked Tony Iommi’s first venture as a producer, nailing a sound as hazy as the cover. Another tour de force in the riffing department, Vol. 4 didn’t fare as well as their preceding albums with critics or on the charts in either the UK or the States. Hindsight now sees it as arguably the crowning Black Sabbath achievement ...“The first three albums could’ve all been from the same batch really, but [Vol. 4] was when we started introducing different things,” Iommi said. - Excerpts from Loudwire

Thanks!

Bad Company - Live for the Music

I love the LAST DRAGON album in the background

My fave Sabbath album. So good! Supernaut and Evil Woman are the shite.

You guys about to get snowblind Btw that Sweet Leaf got y'all feeling right

Thanks! Bout time you played Supenaught! Go Laa! Go Chee! On to Snowblind then on to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath!

Now you know even though he’s somewhat crazy , he’s been doing it for 53 years. Yes 53

Tony Iomie is the riff king period. Every song has a catchy monster riff And has 2 finger tips missing on the frets that he lost in a factory accident when he was in his teens

Great reaction gentleman. Love this song off a great album. Keep on doing a fantastic job…

Thought you'd like the drums on this one

Please follow the lyrics on next song snowblind, luv you guys reactions!!!

Hot damn! I can't wait until you guys get to the Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album. FX should actually be called "Tony Has a New Toy and a Big Bag of Weed"

Slowly, partying took it's toll on the band, esp. The Oz. More pop less explore and less hungry. The Drummer had to seek help. Ozzy was recued by his wife while being on a bender in some motel room. Randy Rhodes too brought our OZZY back to life. My favorite is Madman.

Music come out of Britain 70 s stranglers

Congrats...you just listened to.. probably..their best song 🙂 Well, ok, one of them 😆

Should check out wicked world from live at last they combo a few different songs in it.

FX. Tony had gotten a new guitar effects pedal with a delay inlike the oreviously available reverb and was showing it off. As it was brand new, it was almost copl at the time. In the later CD age, you can luckily skip FX without effort. Bassist Robert Trujillo, back when he was in the bands Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves, was revording an album in the same studio as Ozzy. They got invited insade while Ozzy was recording vocals. He was shocked at how bad Ozzy sounded. He was afraid to say anything. After the take, they rewound and Ozzy sang again to create his signature doubked vocal sound. Suddenly, the horrible vocal sounded like an Ozzy vocal. They then asked if he wanted to do a guest vocal on one of their dongs they just finished recording. They made sure to get a doubled vocal. Robert is now the bassist for Metallica. He's a great bassist, by the way.

Many cymbals were hurt during this recording.

Called Vol 4, but should have been called ,The white album. But I love it.

Great ! Still got aways to go !

John Bonzo Bonham loved this song

I love the strange interludes and intros in metal music, FX is just some doodling but even in the heaviest of metal genres you'll find beautiful acoustic pieces. It's cool you guys are getting the complete experience with these albums instead of jumping around. However, I'm getting antsy for you guys getting to their Heaven and Hell album with Dio as their singer. Rock on gentlemen!

I'm not sure headphones do this justice. This album was mixed to be played through 4' tall three-way speakers at full blast...

The Supergroup 10000 Homo DJ's did an AMAZING cover of this.

Kick ass

La and Che, after snowblind you’ll have a decision to make. Laguna Sunrise is short and should not be reacted to by itself. Either follow the hard driving Cornucopia or listen to it before St Vitus dance. I prefer the 2nd or do all 3 together. Hope we don’t have to wait too long for the Snowblind reaction. 😊

Great song. Geezer Butler's bass groove in this is just nasty. Black Sabbath could have been on Led Zeppelin's Swan Song record label and I think Robert Plant tried to make that happen but apparently Ozzy said no and was too busy playing around with powder so it never did. Sabbath certainly was big but they might have been even bigger had they been managed by Zep's Peter Grant. Instead Sabbath was screwed over by their own record label and management.

decline😮devolving😮

What did you think of Bills drumming Laa?

The change may have been the sugar. All of the sugar...

The next three albums after this one are more progressive, they introduce keyboards With Rick Wakeman on Sabbath bloody Sabbath, By the way that album cover one of the best ever a man dying he’s going to hell and then you flip the album over and The same man in heaven

Check out Lonely is the Word, Heaven and Hell from the Sabbath Heaven and Hell album!! Bangers for sure!!

Next up Snowblind, absolute classic amongst classics.

In Your Face R&R !!!!!

I can not listen to this song loud enough! What? I can't hear you!!! Great review thanks....
