They probably did. I assume cracks actually formed in the earth beneath their feet.

I'd like to imagine some kid sitting in his bedroom in 1970, and this suddenly came over the radio…..everyone within ear shot hugged their cross necklaces tight: they probably thought the radio was possessed by a demon from hell.

Well kind of, there was plenty of heavy stuff beforehand. Example: Helter Skelter from the Beatles is pretty damn heavy. This didn't come out of nowhere, Metal or Hard Rock has a long history

@@DarthLore00 Helter Skelter? Please, lol. You're comparing apples to gold dipped oranges. Try again.

@@JarOfMoMack Why isn't it a fair comparison? Its by today's standards heavy, its a heavy song especially for 1968, I'm not saying its Metal but it was really innovative for the time. If you're asking for another comparison, well to me the first artist who paved the way for Metal was Hendrix, his use of tritones, guitar feedback and heavy riffs are the birth of metal music. Voodoo Child or Purple Haze are pretty good examples. I know its debatable, but that''s just my take. Don't know why what I said was laughable tho? Black Sabbath definitely were pioneers in aspects such as the overall gloomy atmosphere but they weren't the huge cultural shock they're made out to be by some people, I would say Hendrix was far more alien to audiences then Black Sabbath ever were. By then people had experienced some pretty heavy stuff. Btw this isn't an attack on Black Sabbath I absolutely love them and their music, without Hendrix the evolution to Metal would've taken longer is all I'm saying.

LoL no doubt absolutely savage

Every single kind of metal on the planet Earth felt that as if the entire world shook.

He was wrecking it on drums. Amazing.

Absolutely! This song is still relevant today. I wonder how many young people heard this in the 70's and asked for a drum set for Christmas. I'll never forget the first time hearing Black Sabbath for the first time in the 70's.

Drumming hard to conjure images of bombs and combat. Awesome.

bill is the most under-appreciated member.

@@lancashirebomber9744he truly is brother, long live Bill

Bill's free flowing sense of timing that just brings the chaos of the metal together in such an artful way just sells this band as one of the greatest of all time. Neil and Ginger are great but Bill just is something else.

Him, Keith Moon and John Bonham are three easy contenders as the best drummers of all time.

Bonham,ward and moon were all influenced by Gene Krupa!

@@VX_XIBonham was better than Ward in my opinion; but, man did they ever create the best music rock music we’ve ever had….

The No. 4 song of 1970 was “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.” The world was definitely not ready!

You're forgetting this was already a year after Woodstock. We were more than ready.

Actually, the original lyrics were "Witches gathered at black masses // Bodies burning in red ashes." Look up "Walpurgis" and its lyrics. "War Pigs" is actually a pun on their original song title "Walpurgis". "Black Sabbath" is another name for "Walpurgis", the Christmas of Satanists. The original lyrics to this song were about pagans and priests fighting, and the satanist pagans winning and throwing the priests into the bonfires that the priests created to burn the witches. They sanitized it and made it a modern song about Vietnam war protests, and deleted the origin of heavy metal as a sound, and as something associated with satanism, and the origin of the name of their band itself, as "Black Sabbath" was "Walpurgis".

Bonham got all the press but Bill was the man..

@@mikepatrick5909 amen

@@mikepatrick5909 Well one reason why Bonham is great is because he's Bonham. But what doesn't get stated enough is that Zeppelin had very talented producers, who had many innovative ways to capture the drum sounds among other creative things. Black Sabbath were poor af when they started out. Check out the time and budget in which the 1st 2 albums of Sabbath were made. You'll be surprised

He is pimp slapping them bitches

Bill Ward was master at the drums. Underrated

This is before he's got a double bass He's doing all that on one bass drum

I'm more than 50 years younger than you, but we can still both agree on that.

Early in the song there was a quick, close shot of Geezer from the side. I suspect the guy filming from that side had a camera malfunction right after that. So they did the best they could in the editing room.

The accountant!

He also wrote just about all the lyrics in sabbath if I’m not mistaken

Zach Collins yes he did

Probably cause you can't really hear the bass players

Yep. Non-drummers will know that (most) sticks taper towards the tip; they may not know that the wood is lacquered and quite slippery. If you're playing hard, reversing them gives you greater volume and less chance of snapping the tips off; it also gives your hands something mechanical to hold on to (the tapered part of the stick locks into your palm and the 'button' on the end stops the stick flying out of your hand). This is really helpful if you're playing hard and sweating because it lets you hold the stick quite gently, which is the way to avoid cramp. Seeing rock drummers reversing their sticks, some manufacturers produced a 'rock' drumstick, which had no taper at all - it was more like a chunk of broom handle. They were certainly strong and very loud, but they missed the whole point of why drummers reversed regular sticks in the first place - i.e. the benefit of the taper and protruding tip locking into your hand, letting your muscles relax. The zero-taper stick has to be gripped just as hard as a normal slippery stick - it's still easy to send them flying into the audience. They then produced special gloves to help with gripping their hard-to-hold sticks, but it was all just a money-grab, selling a solution to a problem that they'd created. None of it's necessary. All you need to do is to reverse regular tapered sticks and beat the hell out of your kit like Bill.😁

@@EleanorPetersonI hope this comment gets more notice. This was super informative!

@@drago9000- You're so sweet!🙂 I forgot to say that, if lacquering drumsticks is such a bad idea (because it makes them slippery in wet hands), why do manyfacturers do it? Well, it's to seal the wood from atmospheric moisture. Sticks are usually made from premium-grade kiln-dried hardwoods such as hickory and ash. It's important that they remain absolutely straight (for even-ness of playing), and even the best untreated wood will gradually absorb moisture and begin to swell, sometimes turning sticks into bananas (it's not a consistent problem, though, and some sticks stay perfect whatever you do to them). A coat of varnish seals the wood, so that they remain straight in the shop until bought... At which point some drummers (myself included) will painstakingly scrape the 'butt' ends free of lacquer to improve the grip. Manufacturers have no control over this outrageous behaviour, but that's no longer their problem. The half-naked sticks will sometimes stay straight, but usually acquire a gentle curve. Not a problem, really 'cause most (but not all) drummers go through sticks like saxophonists go through reeds. I expected my Comment to get a lot more hate because it came from a... from a... from a GIRL. [Ewwww!] 😁

This Is Putin’s War. But America and NATO Aren’t Innocent Bystanders. When a major conflict like Ukraine breaks out, journalists always ask themselves: “Where should I station myself?” Kyiv? Moscow? Munich? Washington? In this case, my answer is none of these. The only place to be for understanding this war is inside Russian President Vladimir Putin’s head. Putin is the most powerful, unchecked Russian leader since Stalin, and the timing of this war is a product of his ambitions, strategies and grievances. But, with all of that said, America is not entirely innocent of fueling his fires. How so? Putin views Ukraine’s ambition to leave his sphere of influence as both a strategic loss and a personal and national humiliation. In his speech on Monday, Putin literally said Ukraine has no claim to independence, but is instead an integral part of Russia - its people are “connected with us by blood, family ties.” Which is why Putin’s onslaught against Ukraine’s freely elected government feels like the geopolitical equivalent of an honor killing.

@@apathy5899 Give it a rest.

@@apathy5899 yeah this is not on who is right more like it's unfair than even to this day we have to witness people dying over the ambition and ego of some dudes that gathered enough power to think themselves as owners of our souls.

@@jlei3967 Putin is basically saying to Ukrainians (more of whom want to join the European Union than NATO): “You fell in love with the wrong guy. You will not run off with either NATO or the E.U. And if I have to club your government to death and drag you back home, I will.” This is ugly, visceral stuff. Nevertheless, there is a back story here that is relevant. Putin’s attachment to Ukraine is not just mystical nationalism. In my view, there are two huge logs fueling this fire. The first log was the ill-considered decision by the U.S. in the 1990s to expand NATO after - indeed, despite - the collapse of the Soviet Union. And the second and far bigger log is how Putin cynically exploited NATO’s expansion closer to Russia’s borders to rally Russians to his side to cover for his huge failure of leadership. Putin has utterly failed to build Russia into an economic model that would actually attract its neighbors, not repel them, and inspire its most talented people to want to stay, not get in line for visas to the West. We need to look at both of these logs. Most Americans paid scant attention to the expansion of NATO in the late 1990s and early 2000s to countries in Eastern and Central Europe like Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, all of which had been part of the former Soviet Union or its sphere of influence. It was no mystery why these nations would want to be part of an alliance that obligated the U.S. to come to their defense in the event of an attack by Russia, the rump successor to the Soviet Union
