Nobody can write a love song as heavy as Black Sabbath. And Rick Wakeman (virtuoso keyboardist for the band Yes) was asked to lend his talents to this song.
I’ve said this Prior, but in Ozzy ‘s book he said they wanted to be a jazz band but their van wasn’t big enough for the instruments. You can hear the jazz influences often in their music!!
Black Sabbath were so much more than just heavy metal, as you’re discovering. This album is especially experimental and full of surprises. Great reaction, thanks!
For me in this song the star is Geezer, you have to pay attention a little more in the bass, but after all they are all killing it, love your reactions! Cheers from argentina
How awesome was that! Sabbath at the peak of their musical prowess, that album, like the previous 4, is an all time classic. More to come, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
You guys always make me smile. Shout out to other life-long Sabbath fans who have caught on to these guys. My favorite reactors when it comes to Black Sabbath, and I've pretty much seen them all.
Had the first album a week after it came out for the album cover, that cover haunts to this very day along with the music within. Sabbath reactions are almost always positive, music that stands the test of time. 🎸
Rick Wakeman from Yes on synth and piano. Supposedly Wakeman was next door doing Tales from Topographic Oceans and was totally fed up w/ the pretentiousness of that album, wanted to hang out, drink some beers, and play with some down to earth rocker folks (the Sab boys from Birmingham). Nice extra sizzle on top of a great song.
Consider doing the live version of “killing yourself to live” at California Jam…amazing performance and Tony Iommi with a clean shave is a rare sight 😂
Rick was brought in to play on the song as his band Yes was recording in the neighbour studio. Another fun fact is, that Bonzo (Zep and Sabbath were close friends) wanted to play the drum part on this one :D
My favorite Sabbath Album... I stole the cassette from my step dad... listened to it till it worn down so badly... such a huge influence of in my life... I was curious because of the cover hahaha... but after really hearing the music and the lyrics ... uffff Sabbath is just pure energy...
Spring of 95 bought the cassette, at 16 years of age. I didnt have a full Sabbath album until then but I ve heard a lot of their hits through Ozzys Speak of thw devil. I bought it only because I didn't know any song of the album, and until today is my favourite album of theirs.
I told you guys!!! Everybody was putting this album down and you guys wouldn't like it!!! Haha!!! I told you!!!! More great ones before this album is through!!! Thanks guys for proving me right!!! I love Sabbath, and definately one of my favorite albums.
Was waiting for this!! Y'all gotta get back to some Blue Oyster Cult, too. "Harvester of Eyes", "Hot Rails To Hell", "Flaming Telepaths" and "Subhuman" are rockin' tracks.
Sabbath can do it anyway you want it. Masters of their craft! Too busy getting high and rockin out to pay attention in school. Don't think I'd change a thing.
Back then, Black Sabbath was like an animal all of their own. A good comparison, I would say, would be like Rage Against the Machine and System of a Down became in that timeframe; they were unicorns. They didn't sound like The Who, they didn't sound like Led Zeppelin, and they didn't sound like _anyone_ during that time in our history of music. They were sort of like David Bowie in that they were so different that some people didn't know how to understand how great they were at that time. My college Rock & Jazz teacher told us that the test of great musicians came from how they lasted through time. And we can see that with Sabbath and guys like David Bowie, in that they were misunderstood during real time, and later, people-at least the people who are smart enough to notice-were great musicians. Black Sabbath has so many blues influences that I'm amazed to this day that more people don't see it. But at least you guys have seen it and are pointing it out. I met Bill Ward once. He walked into a restaurant when I sat at the bar... his daughter worked there. He came into the place once a week, the bartender told me. And on that day a week later, I wore my Black Sabbath T-shirt and waited for him to come into the place. And as I drank my beer, the bartender said, "Hey, there he is," and I swirled my barstool around, noticed he was with his wife, and threw up the horns 🤘, and he nodded my direction, and gave me back the 🤘, and that's all we said... it was one of the coolest moments of my life.
This bluesy paean to Geezer’s then-girlfriend had its lyrical origins in Ozzy repeating porno dialogue, to his bandmate’s amusement. Rick Wakeman charged Sabbath a ‘fee’ of two pints of Director’s bitter for his incandescent piano playing. - Loudersound
Live versions of this classic usually morphed into 3-part jams that incorporated other Sabbath tracks. But this studio version stands alone. Great stuff.
You could never take the Birmingham out of Black Sabbath - literally the middle of England, it was surrounded by every sound in the country. A British/Irish guitar sound opens the track. Might have been one of his Laney amps, but Tony gets a Vox 30 sound for a bouncy riff that could have been a Yardbirds player, Rory Gallagher, Brian May, Thin Lizzy w/Gary Moore .. what a sound.
One of my favorite Sabbath tunes!!! PURE 🔥 Love the happy and reckless intro with the sudden change to that slowed down funk groove with Rick Wakeman from YES on keys. Then the bonus funky jam with extended vamping till it just falls apart at the end. One of (if not THE) only straightforward love songs from the Sabbath here, the kinda song that’ll get rocker couples stopping to shoot eyes at each other. “Hold up, girl.. c’mere let me look at you a minute..” 😜
I watched your favorite Led Zeppelin albuns/songs video and the list are too similar, i have the impression that in Black Sabbath universe, you guys will have a really different list. Great reaction, cheers from Portugal
GREAT reaction gents!! I've been waiting for this - and you didn't disappoint. This one places in my top 5 Sabbath tunes (N.I.B. being #1)! It has such a groove to it, impossible not to get sucked in! Everyone was firing on all cylinders here. I love that psychedelic middle 8 section with the keys - so un-Sabbath like, but it works so well! It's unfortunate that this track isn't more well known - cause it's a banger in all respects! Cheers.
Sincere thanks guys! I was a huge fan of Sabbath with Ozzy from 15-25, then got into Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio. Since you started tracking all the Ozzy records, I’m waaay back into them! Thanks guys! You are bring back the lost days of my youth with this original Sabbath material. Laa and Chee rule the reaction videos!
Sorry to go off topic. I didn't know you reacted to movies. "Tommy" is a wild ride. Pete Townsend has quite the imagination. A friend managed a small indie theatre where I grew up. My Dad was Chief of Police at the time. One of the patrolmen caught me watching R-rated "Lisztomania" and told my Dad. I was grounded. I only saw about 10 minutes of it! Was busy
Y'ALL NEED TO DO A LISTEN TO ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS FROM THE 80S FROM JOE WALSH........ "I. L. B. T'S" !!!! WHO KNOWS THIS SONG AND HOW GREAT IT IS ?!?!?!?
Airplay beats+Black sabbath =Good times
totally agree, I look forward to it especially when I know it's a song I love.
Seriously only one of the truly honest and good things in the whole world right now.
Nobody can write a love song as heavy as Black Sabbath. And Rick Wakeman (virtuoso keyboardist for the band Yes) was asked to lend his talents to this song.
Sorry Guys, it’s Rick Wakeman …
@Humb7757 sorry my mistake
You can’t beat reactors who know their shit. Thanks guys, you make me feel like I’m listening to these songs fresh all over again.
The Ward is my Shepherd! 🤘
The jam with Rick Wakeman is as good as it gets!
I was looking to see if anyone mentioned it. Wakeman loves the tune. I read some interview with him.
Not one bad song on this album! For me, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath should be up there with the All-Time classic albums in Rock History.
For me, their first 6 albums should be in the Smithsonian as the pinnacle of a music genre, classic heavy metal. No one did it better.
They topped themselves on this album. Then they somehow managed to come up with Sabotage? 'Nuff said.
Sappy bubble gum lyrics on top of a badass tune with many winding turns. And Rick Wakeman on keyboards to take it to another level.
Side two superb ending with Spiral Architect
What I love about you guys is not only your intelligence but also your enthusiasm and love of the music.
You’re riding the Sabbath peak and that peak is through the stratosphere!
What a Band!!!!!!
I’ve said this Prior, but in Ozzy ‘s book he said they wanted to be a jazz band but their van wasn’t big enough for the instruments. You can hear the jazz influences often in their music!!
Thankfully fate intervened and we have all these amazing albums. 🏄♂️
Black Sabbath were so much more than just heavy metal, as you’re discovering. This album is especially experimental and full of surprises. Great reaction, thanks!
Thanks, guys. This whole album is tops.
Finally, a love song
My favorite tune off my favorites Sabbath album. Good job.
This kind of music just makes me feel good and gives me hope 🤘
You can't say I didn't warn you. 😊
Still some more incredible songs to go. This album is so fire.
For me in this song the star is Geezer, you have to pay attention a little more in the bass, but after all they are all killing it, love your reactions! Cheers from argentina
Loving these Sabbath reactions 🤘
Perfect song by the masters of Metal. Love it.
(I had this on 8 Track:))
Bought the vinyl, Bought the cd,and now I listen to you guys, playing it on CZcams.
Beautiful, Thanks verry much. 👍😁
Most people call out War Pigs or Paranoid or N.I.B. or Ironman but THIS (and THE WRIT) are MY fave Sabbath tracks.
How awesome was that! Sabbath at the peak of their musical prowess, that album, like the previous 4, is an all time classic. More to come, enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
💯 Vol 4 & SBS
Got that swagger boy
SPOT ON! How weird, cause that’s the EXACT word I’ve always used to describe this tune! 😂
You guys always make me smile. Shout out to other life-long Sabbath fans who have caught on to these guys. My favorite reactors when it comes to Black Sabbath, and I've pretty much seen them all.
Had the first album a week after it came out for the album cover, that cover haunts to this very day along with the music within. Sabbath reactions are almost always positive, music that stands the test of time. 🎸
My favorite Sabbath song!!
Some of Ozzy's best vocals are on this record and the next one! He really seemed to be "IN the zone" during the mid 70s..
Rick Wakeman from Yes on synth and piano. Supposedly Wakeman was next door doing Tales from Topographic Oceans and was totally fed up w/ the pretentiousness of that album, wanted to hang out, drink some beers, and play with some down to earth rocker folks (the Sab boys from Birmingham). Nice extra sizzle on top of a great song.
Great tune. Wore it out!
Consider doing the live version of “killing yourself to live” at California Jam…amazing performance and Tony Iommi with a clean shave is a rare sight 😂
Peak Sab4. This excellence continues through Sabotage.
Nice but next, killing yourself to live is my 2nd fav on album after sabbath bloody sabbath!!!
Next one is going to knock you out. One of their best. Top 3 for sure. Lyrics top 3 also.
Rick was brought in to play on the song as his band Yes was recording in the neighbour studio. Another fun fact is, that Bonzo (Zep and Sabbath were close friends) wanted to play the drum part on this one :D
You can’t miss that ending groove, it’s slamming you right over the head!
IMO the most upbeat song by them. And it really works!
Just another great reaction to another great song from another great album from the greatest band of all time
More proof why Bill Ward is my favourite Drummer of all time ever. Ever with the fact that he says he’s not a Drummer.
There it is!
There you go the most feel good sabbath song ever
Fluff to chaos. Bill got the swing. Ozzy and Thelma. Rick wakeman on keys. Banger
Guy's what are you doing to me I've just in the last 20 min had an eargasm Sabbath & Thin Lizzy on the same day, it doesn't get any better than that.
My favorite Sabbath Album... I stole the cassette from my step dad... listened to it till it worn down so badly... such a huge influence of in my life... I was curious because of the cover hahaha... but after really hearing the music and the lyrics ... uffff Sabbath is just pure energy...
I SAID TO MYSELF, THEY'RE GONNA PICK UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF ON BLOODY ON MONDAY, SOMEHOW I KNEWWWWW IT LAH & CHE!👍😊FIRE AFTER FLUFF HUH GUYS? LOL💯
Fire!!!
Rick Wakeman was drinking buddies with Sabbath and I love his addition of the keys into any Sabbath tune but particularly this one!
Awesome review guys Rick Wakeman from yes was playing keyboards
Greatness. Cant wait for the reactions to the Dio, Gillan and Martin eras of the band.
Spring of 95 bought the cassette, at 16 years of age. I didnt have a full Sabbath album until then but I ve heard a lot of their hits through Ozzys Speak of thw devil. I bought it only because I didn't know any song of the album, and until today is my favourite album of theirs.
A SABBATH I0VE S0NG, I0I ITS GREAT WHEN I HEAR Y0U TAIK 0F THEIR VERSITiIiTY AND 0VERAII TAENT
I told you guys!!! Everybody was putting this album down and you guys wouldn't like it!!! Haha!!! I told you!!!! More great ones before this album is through!!! Thanks guys for proving me right!!! I love Sabbath, and definately one of my favorite albums.
Great reaction guys! I love that you're doing my favorite Sabbath album, keep it going! 🤘👍
Speechless
Was waiting for this!! Y'all gotta get back to some Blue Oyster Cult, too. "Harvester of Eyes", "Hot Rails To Hell", "Flaming Telepaths" and "Subhuman" are rockin' tracks.
Even more so the live versions from "On Your Feet or On Your Knees."
Nobody can switch it up like Sabbath
Sabbath can do it anyway you want it. Masters of their craft! Too busy getting high and rockin out to pay attention in school. Don't think I'd change a thing.
What a song!!

Best Sabbath Album
1st!.....Another Sabbath nailer! Nice AP! ...☠️☘️
great review!, thanks. this one definitely goes in the Sab top 5. That is Rick Wakeman on the keyboard, from Yes.
Black Sabbath 1968-eternity🤘
Wow, that really reminded me of Deep Purple once the drums kicked in.
This bluesy paean to Geezer’s then-girlfriend had its lyrical origins in Ozzy repeating porno dialogue, to his bandmate’s amusement. Rick Wakeman charged Sabbath a ‘fee’ of two pints of Director’s bitter for his incandescent piano playing. - Loudersound
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I saw them live 17 times MSG was the bomb
A lot of drummers that came out in the 60’s. came from a Jazz background.
thanks you two for keeping on..
Live versions of this classic usually morphed into 3-part jams that incorporated other Sabbath tracks. But this studio version stands alone. Great stuff.
The song was supposed to fade out earlier, But Ozzy kept laying vocal shouts out so they kept jamming.
YEESSSSS MORE SABBATH Laa and Chee!
Symptom of the Universe PLEEEEEASE....
Im one of those that bought this album and enjoyed some weed with it. But to be honest. I bought a lot of their albums and smoked.
Keep them coming
Love this , thanks guys.
I have several Black Sabbath albums on vinyl and I consider this one to be their best along with Paranoid
So many different tempo's and styles all in one song. They do it all the time, why? because they are Black Sabbath...
You could never take the Birmingham out of Black Sabbath - literally the middle of England, it was surrounded by every sound in the country. A British/Irish guitar sound opens the track. Might have been one of his Laney amps, but Tony gets a Vox 30 sound for a bouncy riff that could have been a Yardbirds player, Rory Gallagher, Brian May, Thin Lizzy w/Gary Moore .. what a sound.
I hope you guys to react to the entire Black Sabbath discography, including the albuns without Ozzy or Dio on vocals.
funky jazz blues hard rock =)
One of my favorite Sabbath tunes!!!
PURE 🔥
Love the happy and reckless intro with the sudden change to that slowed down funk groove with Rick Wakeman from YES on keys.
Then the bonus funky jam with extended vamping till it just falls apart at the end.
One of (if not THE) only straightforward love songs from the Sabbath here, the kinda song that’ll get rocker couples stopping to shoot eyes at each other.
“Hold up, girl.. c’mere let me look at you a minute..” 😜
I watched your favorite Led Zeppelin albuns/songs video and the list are too similar, i have the impression that in Black Sabbath universe, you guys will have a really different list.
Great reaction, cheers from Portugal
Yea great song for sure ..I have been listening to this album on a factory made cassette that sounds great..
GREAT reaction gents!! I've been waiting for this - and you didn't disappoint.
This one places in my top 5 Sabbath tunes (N.I.B. being #1)! It has such a groove to it, impossible not to get sucked in! Everyone was firing on all cylinders here. I love that psychedelic middle 8 section with the keys - so un-Sabbath like, but it works so well!
It's unfortunate that this track isn't more well known - cause it's a banger in all respects! Cheers.
Wakeman did it for the beer, legend.
Sincere thanks guys! I was a huge fan of Sabbath with Ozzy from 15-25, then got into Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio. Since you started tracking all the Ozzy records, I’m waaay back into them! Thanks guys! You are bring back the lost days of my youth with this original Sabbath material. Laa and Chee rule the reaction videos!
Thanks!
This is a little pop for Sabbath. Their "happy" album. Still Sabbath. Some great tunes.

Nobody better than the AirPlay beat boys and nonody Riffs like BS!
Tony Iommi writing classic after classic.
Yes, he should be in the songwriting Hall of Fame!
Sorry to go off topic. I didn't know you reacted to movies. "Tommy" is a wild ride. Pete Townsend has quite the imagination. A friend managed a small indie theatre where I grew up. My Dad was Chief of Police at the time. One of the patrolmen caught me watching R-rated "Lisztomania" and told my Dad. I was grounded. I only saw about 10 minutes of it! Was busy
I enjoy watching you guys and your reactions lol Would you guys do Aldo Nova Fantasy or Monkey On Your Back and Warren Zevon needs some love lol
Heavy Metal piano Laa and Chee!
