Birmingham, England! NOT London. You knew what we meant 😆

Sabbath, Purple, Led Zep, Floyd: what a great time it was to be a kid.

As we pull out of Afghanistan after 20 fucking years of futility, we should remember the lyrics to this song...

There's so much shredding in metal, but to me nothing beats a heavy, hard slow slog. Brings you back to the blues roots of metal.

This is simply one of the finest songs ever recorded!

Guitar chords are perfection, as Bill Wards drumkit begs for mercy

In '74 my friend and I were riding our bikes behind a K-Mart that doesn't exist anymore in El Toro CA and I found 2 Black Sabbath 8-Tracks by a dumpster; Paranoid and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. They're still my fave along with Zeppelin.

Ozzy’s voice in this song sounds like a maniacal preacher giving his sermon. His delivery so fits the music. I think in much of Ozzy’s vocal work is not classic but maniacal and it is so appropriate for the music and lyrics.

I seriously wonder how many times I've listened to this song throughout my life? Easily into the high triple-digits.

This track is Mt. Rushmore indeed... Very few TRUE metal fans would debate that.

The kings of heavy-metal Black Sabbath is a necessity in life.

you must check out the 1970 Paris live version of this. It is off the hook, especially Bill Ward just killing that poor little drumset

Black Sabbath, the Godfathers of Metal

This album came out when I was a senior in high school. I'd never heard anything so heavy. Blew me away! I was immediately a fan.

This is about how much war cost. War Pigs. Money money 💰

This whole album is fire! Great reaction guys!! 🔥🤘🔥

I have heard this so many times over the 50+ years i've been a fan and none sound as crushing and down and dirty as the original version. Fk love it

If it was the only song they ever recorded they'd still be one of the best bands of all time.

This was an amazing concert when they promoted this album. I used to love to put my headphones on and crank this up late at night when the house was quiet. Good song choice!

This song took criticism back in the day because it mentioned the name Satan. At the time I just thought they were stupid because the lyrics are actually talking about judgement day and the evil war mongers getting their just reward. It wasn't until years later I realized, no, they knew exactly what this song was about and they didn't like it one bit. So, they made up an excuse to attack it.

I was 15 when this came out and it was one of the best summers I ever had. Everyone I knew had this album. 1970 had some incredible music ❤️

You guys get this song. Being 66 myself, I really appreciate that.

Great reaction guys , and thank you for not using the version with the attached fan video , that has nothing to do with the song , reactors who use that version get into commenting on the video instead of the song n music , thanks again .

You ain’t seen nothing until you’ve seen Bill Ward murder that drum kit in the Paris 1970 live version.

These guys invented metal, the first ,the best

Some years ago I was in a cover band and one of the songs on the list was War Pigs. I always enjoyed playing this song. I was the bass player and I actually learned Geezers bass lines....boy were they tough!

This song was one of those that was big in Vietnam. You would often hear it playing on someone's cassette player. (Civil Air Patrol then Air Force ✈️ here) And of course in in America some places it was a radio hit and others it was banned. Considered a protest song. Appropriate for what's happening today. We , 14 of us, seen Sabbath in 81. It was the black and blue concert Molly Hatchet then Blue Oyster Cult followed up by Black Sabbath. All had their sound systems combined outside at a baseball Stadium. It was summer but monsoon season in AZ. We were prepared with a tarp when a Habu blue in. Ozzy was still belting away while they played with the Thunder roaring in the background and lightning flashing. They didn't see what was coming their backs were faced to it. It blew much of the soundstage with the mixers over, and damaged most of the speakers. There was the field where there was chaos. Everyone else was making a stampede for cover. We pulled that giant tarp over us and watched. Immediately after they ran off stage they said hang on to your tickets, we're coming back to do it again. And again they did. It was at the ASU Activity Center in the '70s when Ozzy bit a head off the bat. What a great time to be young. Except for Vietnam and the Cold War hanging over our heads.lol Perhaps it won't be long before once again you'll have your draft number memorized. ✌️☮️ 🤠🐂🏞️🛩️

First time I heard this song, I had goosebumps for days after that. As an aspiring kid musician I just couldn't fathom how you could create melodies and music like this.

My first concert was Black Sabbath, I was like 12 !!! Saw Ozzy a few times when I lived in the 502 !!! Southern High School 1976 grad !!!

The i ntro just reminded me of the slog of war. Been a sabbath fan since i was a teenager in the 80's in the 90's i was in a war in europe and this intro would be on repeat in my head as me and my mates would be heading to our next objective. Picture moving slowly through the terrain, eyes looking everywhere but constantly moving forward

I saw them at Madison Square Garden with Van Halen..OMG, they both kicked a**! First time I ever heard Black Sabbath, my friend at the time (bass player in a famous band) brought me there to show me what heavy metal sounded like...I was not able to move in my seat the whole time. They opened with "Iron Man" and it was loud/intense. WOW!!!!!

I remember being a little “Catholic school” kid w/my friends screaming these lyrics in the halls, because we were against the Vietnam War, of course I was constantly in detention 🤣

The RIFF MASTER!!!! Tony Iommi!!!!!👍🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

chills every time, and those drums 😍 #Ward

Old men talking, young men dying.

Snow blind snow blin6 snow blind The drop is the greatest ever.🤘

There are nodding Dogs on the dash boards of Camper vans that have travelled the world that have nodded less than the 3 of you for this tune! That was a great reaction to my favourite tune for decades. I really enjoyed that (I don't mean to brag but I saw them live twice((I'm bragging a little)).

We used to get high listening to this album!

Bill and Geezer's contribution to this track is absolutely outrageous...

Black Sabbath is, well? The Greatest Rock n Roll Band ever!

Been a fan since 75 still love um Try there song Warning To me its there best Toni goes crazy on this one

I’m new to y’all’s channel and I’m super glad I found you! Your all adorable and great to watch! 🤘🖤🤘🖤🤘🖤

Man the live in Paris

Geezer Butler is an underrated bass player. He shines on NIB.

The Paris 1970 Live version will absolutely stun you. I know y’all try to stay away from Live versions, but this-much like “Comfortably Numb” Pulse concert-is well worth it. Bill Ward’s drumming is mind boggling as is Iommi’s guitar work. Really…no words

DIO ! Rip Ronnie we miss you ! That is the voice ,

I know this song was against wars in general but it came out during the Vietnam war so maybe it was specifically written for that conflict. Either way they get their point across. Nice job guys. I can see you growing in leaps and bounds very soon!

🦋 I Remember Back When I was 7yrs Old Listening to this On An old Record Player it was the Summer Of 83'. I still have that very same Vinyl Album. It Has Been And Always Will Be A favorite Of Mine! Awesome Song Reaction Guys! 🔥🎶🕯🎶🤘😏🎶🕯🎶🔥 ''Electric Funeral'' Is Also A GREAT ONE!

One of my favourite songs

When the album was made the majority of uk citizens would have remembered sirens when Germans dropped bombs on London and Birmingham etc.

Oh yeah, it's Sabbath innit 👍❤️🎼🎶🎶🎵🎵

Now you should react to the live 1970 Paris version. The energy is crazy.

A Black Sabbath song is usually 2 or 3 songs in one.

Great job, guys. There's a chemistry that works amony you three. Keep it up. A song to listen to, possibly? Try Godley and Cream's "cry", maybe you guys would dig it. Thanks again.

Oh yeah that head just starts moving!!

I bought this album when it came out, they are one of my favourite and love this song...I'm all about the drums here. Next favourite song is Ironman

This song is the first one on Mt Rushmore than find 3 more .....song changed my life

Ozzy, Tommy Iomi, Geezer Butler. Ronnie James. Legends!

The very first chord brings on the most stank faces ever, including mine!

Synchronized head banging at its best!

Please react to the live version in Paris, Bill ward on drums is 1 of metals greatest performances

Black Sabbath - NIB

They did a short stent with Ronnie James Dio as lead singer, check out the Heaven and Hell album that album is a banger from start to finish.

His solo's sound like that because he has prosthetic fingertips. Cut off at work on his last day of work right after he signed the contract.

You really don't have to do the live version in Paris. It will be worth your time.

Another great drummer is on Rush, Tom Soyer. They had to do first aid on the drums because the drummer beat them to death.

absolutely Mt Rushmore of metal songs! It's one of the greatest songs ever...no matter what genre!

Thanks guys, one of my favorite BS songs, a rockin tune! I have 2 suggestions for you. April Wine 'I like to Rock' (live basement version). Also, 'Gov't Mule' did great remake of War Pigs, check it out. And icydk, Govt Mule started by 2 members from the Allman Brothers. And their live version features fomer Metallica bassist Jason Newsted. Enjoy watching your reactions. Rock on!

👍👍Good choice!!!

🔥 one of the best albums Ever!!

Hey guys check out the song Roads To Moscow by Al Stewart. The song is about war, beautifully haunting. You'll love it!

You guys should check The Wizard by these guys

Mount Rushmore needs the Holy Trinity of Metal, I would suggest this, along with Led Zep "stairway" and Deep Purple "Sweet child in time" the fourth spot is up for grabs....who do you suggest?

You guys should listen the Paris 71 version (live).

Faith No More cover is brilliant.

My opinion, this is still the Greatest Hard Rock/ Heavy Metal song of all time, FAIRIES WEAR BOOTS is not far behind, my opinion, HIGHWAY SONG is the greatest FM radio song, WAR PIGS did not start out on the radio, you may hear it now if you listen to radio, but not for years.

Here's a link to a version of War Pigs by the Estonian band Rondellus. They made an album called Sabbatum which comprised of Black Sabbath songs played using medieval instruments and sung in Latin. Here's the link to their version of War Pigs (Verres Militares). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d75irJhizt7XpWw.html

LIVE VERSION PARIS 1970

Faith No More!!!!
