One of the best ever

Held no interest for me in 1970. I appreciate it now.

As I once saw painted on a bridge abutment in New Jersey: “OSE RUL”

That Paris show is a great performance.

Oh Lord Yeah!

One of their best songs played live. 🤘🏼 Saw them on Ozzfest

I wasn’t a fan of Black Sabbath at the time but this song is f ing awesome 😎

infiniterest.bsky.social•6 days ago

I always joke that Ozzy had no idea that, one, his career would never end, and two, that he would not only never equal War Pigs, but he would never even come close; even with Randy Rhodes. Still, he did it. What a masterpiece of protest rock!

'Power hungry selling soldiers in a human grocery store' and all that !

silentsounds.bsky.social•4 days ago

Awesome song.

W3 are 😠

gothicalchemist.bsky.social•5 days ago

A great song from a great album.

aleksandarlj.bsky.social•5 days ago

The best anti war song ever!!!

drlarrymitchell.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'm not seeing it, so I'm going to throw some horns for sacred reich's cover version.

drlarrymitchell.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh Lord yeah!

patbatcheller.bsky.social•5 days ago

The music and lyrics are interchangeable with Deck the Halls.

perilravine.bsky.social•5 days ago

Originally titled Walpurgis, which gives it even more sinister connotations.

🎶👌

lazypyro.bsky.social•5 days ago

Did you know T-Pain (yes, THAT T-Pain) did a cover of War Pigs recently? And its awesome!

I imagined it to be about unleashing battalions of trained War Pigs

grolaw-me.bsky.social•6 days ago

Never a fan but it’s an iconic piece.

jgraydonbarnes.bsky.social•5 days ago

Also - love Ozzy’s classic Levi’s 501’s here. Could be an ad.

jgraydonbarnes.bsky.social•5 days ago

Fucking Church of Bill Ward amirite?

drlarrymitchell.bsky.social•5 days ago

Look, listen, kneel, pray.

pakenney.bsky.social•5 days ago

This song is never not relevant. Sabbath walked so RATM could run.

linkeloetje.bsky.social•5 days ago

And a few years later Osbourne had diner with warmonger Bush.

olivekosheluk.bsky.social•5 days ago

It still bugs me that he rhymed "masses" with "masses"

drlarrymitchell.bsky.social•5 days ago

Masses aren't masses and it could have been molasses.

Some young upstarts tearing the song up: https://youtu.be/Qj-NXYbJ6pU?si=QpZGEY-OTjy-nqHN

There's a great live rock version of this somewhere

'You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While the young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud'

Possibly my favorite Sabbath song. I got to see the original members perform this live once.... they destroyed it! Absolute banger!!!

elusivejaguar.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s a massive tune. A protest song. No more war pigs have the power. Honestly way better than iron man and almost as good as planet caravan

2ndchance.bsky.social•5 days ago

How about an album with “war pigs”, “paranoid” and “iron man” talk about a mega hit.

biffbutler.bsky.social•5 days ago

insane.
bill just not giving those drums a chance

drlarrymitchell.bsky.social•5 days ago

Bill Ward beating the drums like they are his red-headed stepchildren who owe him money is a beautiful beautiful thing.

vandyland0071.bsky.social•5 days ago

Like the this version too, a little more protestee, cuz it's CAKE

Saw zakk Sabbath doing this a couple of nights ago. Great show.

Great cover by https://youtu.be/NhmvKYbi7iY?si=lDi_R3YN84qct6bT

markusp63.bsky.social•5 days ago

Brilliant song, and so bloody relevant now

bartmansky.bsky.social•6 days ago

Love this one!

mrplowthatsmyname.bsky.social•5 days ago

Faith No More does a really good cover. In fact my only complaint with it is that it’s almost note-for-note identical to the original. Covers should bring a little innovation.
