Hard to say who was the first true metal band, there were a few that came out right at 1970. Budgie was one of them. many people think Blue Cheer was the first in 1968, but it's really only for one song, and I feel that Blue Cheer was kinda copying Jimi Hendrix's guitar style, who's debut came out a year earlier. I know that the term heavy metal didn't start being used until bands like Led Zeppelin came out.

@@westtexas7 I've heard that quote from Ozzy as well. The fact is, in 1970, the term "heavy metal" was not clearly defined, and throughout the 70s it was used interchangeably with "hard rock", sometimes referring to the same music. The term grew organically among rock fans to mean whatever was the heaviest, hardest sounding music at the time, and was probably influenced by songs like Born to be wild, Iron man, and the image of the crashing Hindenburg symbolizing a zeppelin made of lead. All references to metal of some sort.

But I always love this song and it has so many layers.

Thanks for reacting to this relevant song from 53 years ago. It was the first song I heard by Black Sabbath when I was 14. Been a fan since even got a tattoo of War Pigs. As a side note Black Sabbath originally wanted to name their album " War Pigs" but Warner Brothers refused due to the controversial Vietnam War so they named the album Paranoid instead which is also funny because Paranoid was an after thought because they needed 1 more song to complete the album so Tony Iommi came up with a riff in about 15 minutes which became Paranoid.

One of the greatest concert moments you could ever have is seeing them do this song live. When Ozzy and the crowd alternate with the lyrics it is awesome. Right from the first note people jump out of their seats. Those little high hat taps, as insignificant as they seem, get people ramped for what is coming. Then they hit those two cords and the whole venue is screaming the lyrics. You don’t have to be a Sabbath head to appreciate it, it helps, but you can’t help but feel the energy as you scream the next line back to Ozzy and pound those iconic cords on your air guitar. That is what hard rock is all about. I’ll never forget it.

In 1970 I was 17 years old. When I first ever heard this song . I couldn’t believe that someone was feeling and singing the same way I was feeling and seeing it the same way. It changed my whole life. I started protesting against the war. We had a voice. I worked on lowering the voting age to 18. Started fighting for women’s rights. Here we go again starting over in 2023. Never thought it would happen. I still have a little fight in me.

Always one of my favorite songs by Sabbath. It was released when I was 2 years old and it was 44 years later that I got to hear them perform it live. It was just as powerful that night as the day it was released.

“Fairies Wear Boots” is also a great song, a commentary on UK skinheads. I think you’d like it. Also, Changes, about Ward or Butler’s divorce, is a heart-wrenching ballad. And Planet Caravan is just a vibe you HAVE to check out. If you want more drums and bass, try N.I.B. or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

@mitchellbaxter6314 Жыл бұрын

According to Tony Iommi, Fairies Wear Boots isn't about skinheads; it's just about tripping too much. Ozzy says he doesn't remember what the song is about. LOL. Good song choices, BTW. Planet Caravan is a vibe most people don't know. I'd add Into The Void.

I can't even begin to describe what it's like hearing this performed live. You hear the sirens coming in at the beginning, and the crowd starts humming the tune, and then Ozzy starts singing, and we all sing it back to him. Such an amazing experience. I have seen Sabbath twice, and Ozzy 4 times from 1986-2018. Ozzy has never failed to deliver. 🖤All hail the Prince of Darkness 🤘
