Ozzy might look awkward for two reasons. 1) It's a lip sync - this is the studio audio, and 2) he's sober.

War Pigs Live 1970 is a must...

Try War Pigs live it will blow you away the drummer goes nuts

Had to laugh. I’ve seen Ozzy a number of times and many video clips from his career. To me, he has always looked awkward, like his body is perpetually in a different time signature than the rest of the band. BUT, vocally he never missed a beat. I don’t know how he does it because that would totally mess me up. So many good Sabbath songs. First generation metal right here, influenced by the hard rock and psychedelic rock of the day, plus a healthy dose of blues. Cheers!

War pigs studio version first then live in Paris next !!!! In the live version you’ll see him and how much he’s having fun haha trust me everyone would love to see your reaction to both in one video if you can! Or separate.

This is the band that turned me on to Metal at 13 years old. I've never looked back. Metal all the way...Thanks for your reactions. Subscribed.

Loved the honest reaction by you. I've been listening to these guys from their beginning and I still love their music.

Ok had to comment again since you asked for band suggestions. One I think you will truly love after watching a bunch of your reactions is Rush. This 3-piece band from Canada had 19 studio albums over 40 years, and they are one of the defining members of the progressive rock movement. Prog has many of the same influences as metal but is a little less guitar-centered; with complex, multi-part songs. Rush’s lyrics are always engaging (that what really made me think you’d like them). They are all masters of their instruments, and the drummer is considered by many to be the best rock drummer that ever lived. I would suggest Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio, or Limelight to start. Cheers!

Wait, wait. If you're going the Sabbath route, please check out the studio version of War Pigs. Avoid the one with the newer video - not cool. The live version is fun if you already know the tune and the band.

His awkwardness works. After all, he is singing a song called "Paranoid". Ozzy is so influential that his head bobbing, while I wouldn't suggest he was the first to do that, he probably influenced the head bangers. when he got comfortable on stage, he took on a sinister persona instead of the usual David Lee Roth, Kiss, alpha male image. Which is a relief.

you are right... he was a guy who let loose during live performances. here he is not only in front of cameras, this was forTV! lip sincing for commercial television, thus he was reserved.

Now do Heaven and Hell, with the second lead singer, Ronnie James Dio! You will love both of these singers.

I'd argue that Ozzy was always awkward and is to this day. I think it's a big part of his appeal. He's awkward, and he sings about feeling awkward-- and angry, lonely, depressed, effed up. So much of the heavy metal persona is about posturing as a glamorous sex god or a scary badass. Ozzy is neither. There's something very honest and endearing about it.

Ozzy was only 22 here. It must be daunting being so young and performing on TV.

he's 19 yrs.old.i would think making a video back in 1970 must of been surreal,and Ozzy was just taking it in for their first video..hence aren't we all a little awkward when we first get on stage.

The most important point to take away about Black Sabbath is that they basically invented Heavy Metal. This is a fact that is well established and Sabbath has influenced pretty much every metal and hard rock band since the late 60's. As for the singer, Ozzy Osbourne, would go on to eventually be fired from Sabbath in the late 70's (lots of bad blood for many years on this story) and would become a major presence in metal as a solo artist through the 80's and 90's, renowned as the 'Prince of Darkness' partly due to several events in the 80's where he bit the head off a live bat and dove, both separate incidents and circumstances. Most of Ozzy's craziest adventures have been fueled by his addiction to alcohol and drugs throughout his career. In many circles though, he is considered to have one of the best stage personas of any in metal and hard rock. Lastly, I must mention; the guitar player here, Tony Iommi kept Black Sabbath going for 50 years, having never left the band. The original band (except drummer) reformed in 2013 and ended a final world tour together back in 2017. They also put out a studio album in 2013 with original line up called '13'. Check it out too

When he said he is gonna do more black sabbath, but it's been 2 months already 😞

ozzy just has the crazy eyes, like he is there but somewhere else.

I have been a Black Sabbath fan for 45 years and Ozzy always has had that stage presence. I have seen them live 4 times.

Saw Sabbath back in the day! Yeah he goes crazy in real concerts! Cool you wrestle! My husband is an MMA instructor.

war pigs LYRIC VIDEO (no music video exists, don't watch that one that everyone does) OR War Pigs Live In Paris 1970, which is fucking stellar but has lyrics from two earlier versions of the song. After that, we will get you in on how the real, "groovy" Sabbath that pioneered heavy metal.

yeah, as an Ozzy fan it's just kind of his default state, I remember hearing at one point it was one of the reasons everyone was shocked at his voice

Hey man I liked your honest opinion. Great job!

You got do fairies wear boots and you don't want to miss those lyrics 😃😃😃

There was a time on ‘top of the pops’ where bands were required to mime by the BBC. This might be one of those occasions. It upset many bands.

I think the lip syncing is throwing him off, but also he is used to going nuts on stage in front of a live audience. Having to remain calm, keep all his clothes on and having no audience is throwing him off.

Watch him live 1970 paris. Especially this song and warpigs. He is amazing and totally not awkward. Very in sync with music

Please please please watch/react to War Pigs live in Paris by Black Sabbath...it actually sounds better than the studio version and you can witness the drummer playing his ASS off...I knew Black Sabbath and saw that video and I was like Holy F*ck man!! How did I not know the drummer..

War pigs is great but they have so many great song's .try their first album like the wizard and warning

For anything prior to the mod 80s id just try to find lyric vids and avoid anything that says its a video or official video. They didn't make videos back then with few exceptions. You'll usually just be viewing some youtuber attempting to create their own video and they usually suck.

If you want to see raw, non-awkward, unadulterated Ozzy, check out "War Pigs" live in Paris (1970)... but mostly you'll be watching the drummer, Bill Ward, going completely nuts: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZmSabZ41LSalHU.html

Cream - Crossroads live from their farewell concert

They are not playing. it is just a lip sync.

Hehe Ozzy always seems a bit 'out of it'.. that's just him. That man is about as crazy metal as it comes. Some of the tour stories I have heard from others who have toured with him are insane lol. From the Ozzy era of Black Sabbath.. you should check out "Iron Man", "War Pigs", "NIB", "Black Sabbath" and from their last album "God is Dead?" They have had other vocalists in their lineup as well. My personal favorite (and the one that got me into metal back in the 80's) Ronnie James Dio. From his era in Black Sabbath.. the song "Heaven and Hell", "Die Young", "Mob Rules", "Children of the Sea", "Sign of the Southern Cross" and from his later album with them "TV Crimes", "After All (The Dead)", "I", "Letters From Earth", and "Computer God" I am not familiar with their other singer's work so I have nothing to offer from his era.

I’m a big wrestling fan,what leagues have you been in and what name do you go by, I’ll have to check you out and have you tried out for AEW because that’s where it’s at WWE sucks

Yes awkward because they were on top of the pop's show, pretending to sing their song because it made the pop chart's at that time.

There's a great cover version of this by the US punk band The Dickies, I'd recommend you check it out, even if just for yourself. Great channel, keep it up

This is the band that "pretty much invented Metal" -- I think Ice T said that. The rapper; if I got his name right.

Hey this guy you're talking about is Ozzy Osbourne I guarantee you he's not uncomfortable that's just his way I said that I guarantee from the first time he started and some b**** is still singing need to check out some other songs of the Black Sabbath and when Ozzy Osbourne went on his own crazy train for one of the good song you could listen to

Don't worry, Ozzy always looks awkward throughout his career performing.

Great choice the birth of metal

do war pigs or Iron man

War Pigs live in Paris 1970 Ozzy is a madman 🔥🔥🔥🔥

You obviously didn't know who Ozzy Osbourne was 😂
