"War Pigs" is one of the most iconic songs by the British heavy metal band Black Sabbath. It was released on their second studio album, "Paranoid," in 1970. Written by the band's members, including Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, the song is renowned for its powerful anti-war message and its heavy, ominous sound.
The lyrics of "War Pigs" criticize the folly and horror of war, condemning those who profit from it at the expense of others. The song's imagery draws heavily on themes of corruption, manipulation, and the dehumanizing effects of warfare. Musically, "War Pigs" is characterized by its driving guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and Osbourne's distinctive vocals.
Despite its controversial themes, "War Pigs" has become one of Black Sabbath's most beloved and enduring tracks. It remains a staple of their live performances and has been covered by numerous other artists over the years. The song's impact extends far beyond the realm of heavy metal, earning it a place as one of the most significant protest songs of its era.

Bill Ward was beating the hell out of those drums like they owed him child support.

I am 70 +. This song applies today. I grew up during the protests. I participated in the war. This song applies now.

Bill Ward is so under rated. One of the best drummers of all time.

"Hand of Doom" "Into the Void" and "Fairies Wear Boots" are just a few more of the many great Black Sabbath songs.

I was about 16 when I started listening to Black Sabbath. My Dad nearly went out of his mind thinking I was going down the wrong road and possibly into Satanism. Nope. I was an A student and never got in trouble, but I listened to this song over and over again because I agreed with the lyrics and the instrumentals and Ozzie's voice were perfect for the message.

The birth of heavy metal. This was it. Black Sabbath members are the Godfathers of metal.

I'm an old metalhead. Started seriously listening to music as a teen in the mid-70s. Black Sabbath was and will always remain number one for me. It gives me great joy to see new fans for this music forming before my eyes. Thanks for the video.

TO ME, this is THE greatest metal song EVER...if someone asked me "What IS heavy metal?" THIS is the song I'd play for them. It's the epitome of what metal is all about

AT the age of 13, in 1971, I hadn't heard any Black Sabbath songs, because the AM radio station in my town only played top 40. But, my older brother, who was a drummer in a rock band, went on tour, and he brought me his entire record collection to safe guard while he was away. One afternoon, I was searching through the hundreds of albums and saw this one, and placed it on the turntable, and placed the needle on the groove. This was the first song. I don't believe that I listened to another song on the album. I just kept lifting the needle up at the end of this and starting it over again. Over and over. I knew there were protest songs. The war was going full strength. I worried that my brother would be drafted. This song effected me at the time when adult issues were becoming known to me. All of the music of that time was resonating in all of us.

One of the best live bands of all time.

You absolutely must see the incredible live version in Paris in 1970. It's a react classic. 114 / 5 000 Bill Ward the drummer is incredible on this live. Even better than on the album. And Ozzy is crazy (as always)
