- After posting my 1970s guitar riffs video, I received many comments from people saying I should have featured more Black Sabbath and they were probably right. Here are 20 top riffs from one of the greatest riff-makers ever, Tony Iommi, concentrating on the Ozzy Osbourne years in the '70s.

Rob Zombie once said : « Every cool riff has already been written by Black Sabbath. You’re either playing it faster or slower or backwards, but they wrote it first. »
True
I never seen a more accurate sentence in my whole life
Meanwhile Muhammed Suiçmez:
*Am I joke to you?*
no quite a few are by Rhoads, Paige, the Young brothers, and Blackmore
That's from the metal: a headbangers journey documentary if i remember correctly
The fact that everyone's saying "wheres this?" or "wheres that?" PROVES Sabbath has so many good riffs 😎
exactly
where is into the void bro
I was 100% ready to be like WHERE THE FUCK IS SUPERNAUT then it was right at #1 where it deserved to bed ❤️
Yup, some more of my favorite riffs, Fairies Wear Boots, Killing Yourself to Live, Hard Life to Live, and Angry Heart.
@@ChaseThePinballWizard My EXACT thought!
I'm surprised Into the Void didn't make the cut
The omission of that is glaring and inexcusable.
for real, thats my favorite iommi riff
IN TO THE VOID IS THE BEST EVER PERIOD!
Ikr that’s like one of the greatest metal riffs ever
Its literally up there in maybe top 3 Sabbath riffs of all time. Glad I scrolled down to see it was ommitted and disappointed in OP.
I want to say that bill ward doesn’t get enough love. He’s hands down my favorite drummer of all time. He makes the iconic riffs of sabbath come to life in a way that encodes them into your brain forever.
Yes, the the trippiness, hynoptic style of Sabbath is because of Ward's genius.
not only that but he plays jazz and swing beats and makes them metal. he gets so slept on and he’s truly one of the greatest drummers.
me?
You have got to love his style of drumming the aspects in planet caravan make it seem dreamy. But in songs like killing yourself to live his drumming makes an insane difference to make the song absolutely perfect.
Tell the truth: when he plays Sweet Leaf, ALL OF YOU, in your heads, have sung "ALL RIGHT NOW!" 😅
fuck you caught me xp
IT'S SO HARD NOT TO! XD
Won't you listen?
You’re goddamn right ❤️
in N.I.B. as well
Tony Iommi is the riff MASTER. My personal favorite Iommi riff has gotta be "A National Acrobat" off Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, it's just so groovy and weighty.
@Leonardo Mejia I dunno about that one
If I'm not mistaken, Geezer wrote A National Acrobat main riff
@Leonardo Mejia look.. page has like 7 memorable riffs.. while iommi has some 40+
@Leonardo Mejia
Iommi has 1) more riffs (like 5 per song)
2) catchier/memorable riffs
Geezer wrote that one.
You should have made "Top 200 Black Sabbath Riffs" :-)
Honestly there is 200 riffs. But I would think 100 is good.
The riff to Fairies Wear Boots should’ve also been included
Yeah especially the opening
One of my favorates
Which of all of them?
lol the fact that you have to question which riff you are talking about proves that iommi is a god
@@javwav touché; I like the opening, but more so, the swung groove when they go into the verse and chorus.
Your choice of riffs really shows a deep appreciation for the band.
Black Sabbath is the best band of metal of the old times! This band never die
Yes the greatest no debate
True no debate
Wrong. Iron Maiden then Black Sabbath.
@@doorknob525 nope black sabbath then iron maiden
@@RoRo-vr6wx yup I love Iron Maiden but sabbath is better
the best band of classic metal
maybe heavy metal, and literally doom metal
Adrian Osvaldo Alvarez Castro I like your pfp :)
Hello George
@@Username-dr4df maybe Black Sabbath self titled and a few other songs fit the doom category but most of it is kinda stoner or classic heavy metal
Some of these riffs only gain their true power combined with the amazing rythym section of Butler and Ward. Not that the riffs aren't brilliant on their own
Agree, they really were a tight unit.
Yeah I agree, Iron Man is one of the best riffs ever but it only truly gains it's gargantuan power when that rhythm section comes in the second time round.
@@fantasypgatour same could most certainly be said about N.I.B... its just not the same without Geezer
Their riffs are so satisfying
Surprised that Into The Void isn’t there, but all of these riffs are top notch too.
Nice tone, man. Sounds almost exactly like Toni Iommi
Not sounds like Tony cause the Tony tones don't have so much noise like this
One of the best things about Bloxsy is that he plays deep cuts and hits. But the best thing is he sounds so damn good.
Into the Void would be my personal favorite
Electric funeral riff is a banger, nice simple and sounds good
I see a sad lack of comments asking about Under The Sun, in my opinion the most head-banging Iommi riff
Thinking exactly the same
Under the sun is so heavy I mistook it for a Bolt Thrower riff when I first heard it
Great choices as always, but I would have included SabbraCadabra for sure
1. Snowblind
2. Supernaut
3.Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
4. Into the void
5. Wheels of Confusion
6. Killing your self to live
7. NiB
8. Paranoid
9. War pigs
10. The Thrill of it all
Finally someone giving snowblind the love it deserves
What more can you expect from Riff Master Iommi. A Dio years vid would amazing as well.
I am in love with that guitar. It's very affordable, and the tone you're able to get out of it is exceptional!
I luv that he even had the sound of scraping the strings on the Sweet Leaf riff. I remember being 15 yrs old back in 80's debating my friend about whether or not T.I. did that intentionally. Dunno, but maybe.
How do people forget Into The Void?
Its a personal rank
He doesnt forgot, he just doesnt want to put into the void on this list
Or Heaven and Hell!!!!
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath 🍻
Listen brasilian Singer Vanusa,what you do ,music.
SBS and Symptom of the Universe are two of the most badass riffs ever playef
The crazy thing is that you can easy make a video of "the next 20 best Sabbath riffs" that are still better than anything other bands do. Consider these: Wicked World, Warning, Faeries Wear Boots, Hand of Doom, Into the void, Lord of this World, Tomorrows Dream, St. Vitus' Dance, Cornucopia, Under the Sun, Sabbra Cadabra, Killing Yourself to Live, Supertzar, the writ, Dirty Women, Backstreet Kids, Junior's Eyes, Neon Nights, Heaven and Hell, Children of the Sea, Mob Rules, Zero the Hero, etc.
Man!!!! That tone is spot on
O mestre dos riffs de toda história do rock.
Thank you for not only playing Iron Man and Paranoid like everyone else! And also thank you for playing the riffs exactly like Tony.
Sadly he still only played Ozzy songs
@@feliperojas-doomride you got a point
@@feliperojas-doomride cause they’re that much better than the rest
@@kadenbihn3603 I seriously doubt you've listened to "the rest"
@@kadenbihn3603 yep
Falling Off the Edge of World, Country Girl, Heaven and Hell, Is God dead?, Ear in the Wall are also amazing riffs
That tone sounds so good! Good job as always mate! 👍
Thanks mate.
This was simply the best Sabbath riff video I've ever seen and to be honest I have a cherry red sg myself and I'm so glad someone does the tuning right like you have it was amazing " my favorite song & riff of all time is " Sweet Leaf " you were awesome to the max in this video yet again I seen the comments I agree with some viewers saying it should include maybe into the void, Meglomania , heaven & hell etc ... Bc this is OZZY era and plus Sabbath has so many great riffs it's hard to fit in all of them unless u do a top 30# all & all it was brilliant !!!
Thanks man, that's quite a compliment.
I am so happy that NIB got top three, that is one of the best sounding riffs of all time and I love how it just gets stuck in your head
This is a good list
Great tone , Tony would be happy with this , the riffmeister !
Black Sabbath have a lot of great melodies in their songs like the ending melody of Iron Man, War Pigs. Not sure why people don’t consider them riffs.
Timeless riffs man. They're so damn great. Iommi and Sabbath was a blessing to us. I'm glad I got to see them live multiple times. Man I love Sabbath ✌️
"The power of the riff compels me !" Tony Iommi The riff Maister !!
"Killing yourself to live" is better than all of these. Great video regardless!
Hell yeah man it’s one of my favorites of all time 🤘rock on man
One of the best Sabbs songs.
The thing about so many Sabbath tunes. And especially leads. . Is that So many are doubled.. and not doubled as in the same. Two leads that fit. . And complement each other. And harmonies in Chord run.
So playing it by yourself live. Never comes out quite as good as the album...
Specifically with After Forever you notice exactly how much Geezer contributes when you only hear yourself play the guitar
Well done. That was great. Keep up the good work
Where Is Planet Caravan???? Anyway, good sound...
planet caravan’s bass kinda outshines it’s guitar parts imo
He said top 20 so maybe what he thinks or of status.
That's by Pantera!!!!!!!!!!!
@@psiangel Panteras Planet Caravan is a cover of Black Sabbaths.
@@jonathancastro4056 NOPE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!
Cool to see Wheels of Confusion and After Forever on here, but Into the Void is a must.
The moment I’ve been waiting for
Supernaut is the jam! Saved the best for last! That riff is just too funky!
All good riffs but you didn’t put in Megalomania’s rock riff :(
Awesome video! All the cool riffs together, excellent
Man that snowblind riff always gets me, to me that's one of their best.
Great video! Great selections!!! Thanks!!!
Thank you.
Amazing! Thanks for making this. You are the 🐐🐐
Awesome Cover video! And cool guitar!
Good job that sounds awesome 👏
watching this makes me regret smashing my 90 dollar sg special in a show. great selection of riffs, the tone is incredible.
Awesome stuff brotha 🤘🏼Under the sun is definitely my favorite especially the end!
damn that tone sounds amazing
Excellent cover, and good riff choices! 🤟🏻
Your tone is spot on !
Brilliant man. 🤘
Awesome!
Brilliant as always mate
Cheers.
beautiful SG
I'm going to use this video to learn some of these. Thanks buddy! These are great!
Loves me some Sabbath!
Sweet riffs...Sweet guitar...Awesome video!
well done !!
Tony Iommi is my Favourite Guitar Player, Responsible for some of the Heaviest Riffs ever
The intro to “I” with Dio is one of my favorites as well as Sleeping Village.
Absolutely stunning performance!
Supernaut is one of the greatest riffs ever imagined.
So sweet
Your vids are great
Heaven and Hell, simply the best
Exactly, neon knights and mob rules should be on here too
@@maxtenbrink166 or Die Young, one of the best
@@jerebedetta5475 🤘🤘
long live dio
Any track on the Heaven and Hell album is amazing
Nice video bro, i just missed the wicked world riff, good job
After forever shakes me to my soul each time I hear it.
This was extremely satisfactory, instant replay. 😎
All of his riffs are awesome
I love your videos so much
it's very nice content! don't stop making videos!
with love from Moldova
Thanks for the encouragement!
Awesome 👌
Wheels of confusion a master piece. So many good riffs
Oh yeeeeeaaahh 🤘 that's very good !!!
Your tone is spot on for the vol.4 riffs
Cool tone man and played with taste!
Excellent - Smashing pumpkins next? - Edit: ahh you done em!
Using this channel to learn and appreciate
Iommi is the best riff writer ever & the most devastating rhythm player!
Well done 🤘👍
For me it is Sympton of the Universe, true riffmonster.
No. 15 is the forgotten riff masterpiece
Sick vid
As the list winded down I grew more and more worried you weren't going to play supernaut, but you got it right, it's #1
great playing and awesome list! i would add “into the void” personally, but still, i enjoyed your playing.
very nice... both the execution and the choice of songs :)
Bravo!
nice guitar sound !!
Great riff and Great riff maker
for ever❗👍
Very nice
Props for putting supernaut #1. May be my favorite of theirs. So, so many good ones to pick from, had to leave good ones off. Nicely done.
Thank you.
Sabbath have all the top riffs!. Iommi tone nailed there
Great job. I can think of another 20 you could have included but that’s black sabbath for you !
Excellent job. Tone and feel nailed
Thank you.
I will pile on with the others, perfect tone! Also love a lot of the choices, esp wheels, an all time fav. There are so many good riffs that aren't the first riff of a song tho...
