Reactions to War Pigs

This is another one I have taken for granted. I’ve always known this song (Dad had a framed Sabbath poster in the dining room when I was a little kid, lol), so I forget exactly how badass it truly is. Can’t even imagine hearing it for the first time as an adult. It must be mind blowing. And that is why I enjoy reaction videos so much.

1. My Sabbath Reaction Story

On Christmas my freshman year of HS, my uncle got me the first Black Sabbath album.
Next day, I put it on the stereo (with headphones).
Now, I'm 14 & been a piano player for 10 years, jazz piano for the last 5.
I heard that opening of the first song (eponymous) and that riff includes a flatted 5th. In big heavy guitar music.
I went nuts. If you could put flatted 5ths in hard rock, I was all in. Been a fan since that moment.
They basically invented a whole genre.
Not bad for some kids from Birmingham.
And, that video is FUN! Those 2 guys from Lost in Vegas were really digging it.
