Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe (lyrics)

[dobiedub1]

I remember hearing this song for the first time on Brutal Legend and I was thinking, "I don't think Jack Black included this part..." at 4:12 to 6:16 but then I remembered for some reason before it got to that part. I guess I just wasn't worthy to hear it.

[PrinceWindz]

This song sounds so Megadeth.. This proved how great the influence of Black Sabbath on the heavy metal industry..

[ViniBassMan]

Bill Ward is monstrous in this song!

[boardskins]

He's really pissed off at that drum kit. \o/

[saint7370]

hey sam yeh this is a great song the line your refering to is mother MOON shes calling me

[PibeThrasher]

Tan tan tan tan TAAN tan tan tan tan tan tan tan TAAN TAAAAN (barrida super espectral around the mastil AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA QUE)

[acosta329]

I like how the top comment says "11/11/11" and it has 11 likes and it was posted 1 month agao. Alot of 1's?

[brianatkins37]

[4623blue]

so why was'nt this on the AM side of the dial, for those of you who understand what AM means.

[samfrompasingtime]

I love this song. It is one song that I have not been able to ever figure out just what it is about. Mother Mooch?

Sam

[brianatkins37]

@samfrompasingtime

what does it have to be about

its about everything

its about things that never die

[caligaris27]

@brianatkins37 hell yeah!

[caligaris27]

@samfrompasingtime Mother Moon!

[Woaaw]

how awesome is this?

[Javv6669]

2:40 - 2:58 FUCKIN ORGASMIC MOMENT!

[subnaciente]

Gracias por darle al mundo esta maravilla hijos de la gran puta

[TheUnbreakableOtaku]

I want them to play this on the reunion tour so badly!

[Javv6669]

@TheUnbreakableOtaku Wish too.. but I think Ozzy can't sing it anymore =(

[amievil100]

@Javv6669 In a world born with man, we will always look for symptoms of the universe...\m/

[JUnitt04]

This song is why zakk wylde says * YEAH * So much :P LOVE SABBATH AND OZZY AND ZAKK AND RANDY AND EVERYONE :D

[las1313]

Just can't get enough of this song!!!

[benjaacerocker]

guys, relly epic and truth, but is ''trash'' metal (almost sure)?? notice me if im wrong

[eraseragenda]

@benjaacerocker THrash metal is the greatest form of music ever invented and I suggest you stop favoriting nickelback songs and go listen to some Razor

[CitizenFishy]

You can see where bands like Mastodon get off.

[Tjalfi999]

"Seven Hundredth Unicorn is waiting in the skies"

Thumbs up for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic!

[taypax]

happy metal day

11/11/11

[remnant24]

This is where thrash really originates—not hardcore punk or any of that bull.

[doom696mented]

This song gave birth to the idea of thrash metal and has alot of heavy progressive metal elements. 

[Theshiggityshwa]

Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

Pornhub is down.

Black Sabbath will do.

[maggotvision1]

@Theshiggityshwa lmfao

[scratchwhiplash]

Ozzy at his finest!

[iamsomerandomdude]

@scratchwhiplash can you imagine what crazy train would have sounded like with this vocal power?



[Coldretter]

haha yeah 3 seconds in you know this is some thrash...\m/

[BikiniDeathSquad]

some of the most beautiful metal lyrics ever

[AlegouveiaII]

ripped from a k7 tape?

[seahag831]

THE gods of metal forever. Everyone else came after. I don't care how blazing fast your leads are.

[homiehomerson13]

Its "mother mooch" not "mother moon"

[doom696mented]

@homiehomerson13 have you ever wondered if it is "mother moon, she's calling me ..." and not "mother mooch is calling me... ?"

[fletchermunsoncurve]

this song makes me think of the gardena banks

[turaly0n]

Iommi, Ward, Butler, Osbourne. Enough said.

[pooritech]

the blue YEEAAAHHHs in the lyrics have exactely the right amount of As and Hs as I would like to read! It is really satisfying!

[91nickt]

It's amazing what you can do with just a drumkit, a bass, a reg guitar, and a decent voice... if you're gods! ;)

[th0mmiejh]

Dun dun dun dun dun dun DUN....

Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun DUN DUN...

[XenaXerxes666]

Where does the fukin universe go to???!!!

[colosalguitarist]

this n stone cold crazy...1 thrash songs made?

[VideoMask93]

@colosalguitarist Definitely the prototypes of thrash.

[HyperMoi11]

This must be the best song ever recorded. I just can't stop listening to it!

[Vmt16]

To hell with going to sleep, I'm gonna listen to this.

[MusicBombTV]

acid?

[jevimetal13]

I love how it begins very Black Sabbath and around minute 4 it turns into very Led Zeppelin-like. Same happens with Led's Dazed and Confused, I can almost imagine Ozzy singing that song

[VideoMask93]

@jevimetal13 Conversely, I can imagine Robert Plant singing this.

[feedback094]

@jevimetal13 i think what most reminds me of led zeppelin is the drumming style of john and bill

[VideoMask93]

-Cue Philosoraptor image-

The Symptom of the Universe...

...Is Existence!

[Farieswearbo0ots]

I've hear most songs they made, Don't know why this is first time i hear this, but damn.. third time now..

[DiabloOtto91]

Black Sabbath are GODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nuppert]

I disliked it because I find it fun seeing people actually care about the dislikes instead of just enjoying the song.

[UnHolyMan9117]

@nuppert but didja still like the song though??

[nuppert]

@UnHolyMan9117 Ofcoure I did. Who wouldn't.

[UnHolyMan9117]

@nuppert thumbs up to that

[edwin20096]

4 dislikers are the country folks who can't handle rock n' roll

[VideoMask93]

@edwin20096 Actually, the country folk are smart enough not to click on flagship band of a genre they don't like (mostly). They're just as likely to be pop-punk fans or the TrueMetalForLife666 troll.

[cretin634]

This Paddy loves Brummys,well done lads! Musicians one and all!

[Boxy221]

lol Brutal Legend :D

[Mamuharam]

4 ppl are Justin bieber fan boys and they should die

[Mamuharam]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

[UnHolyMan9117]

greenday can eat a dick, black sabbath can totally kick greenday's ass anyday

[kouradoman]

@UnHolyMan9117 i agree but what does that has to do with this song?

[TheNightmarechaos56]

3 people r symptoms of the universe

[Mosixman]

@TheNightmarechaos56 Don't ever leave a comment like that again you stupid, cancerous faggot.

[tiggskater]

3 people dont know good music

[simpleman6942]

UNIVEEEEEEEEEEERSEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEE

[HamadaTenchu]

It sounds even better when it's in a higher tone like this. Great work.

[MegaAnthrax123]

: O Awsome song. ¡¡¡ Black Sabbath rules

[alcoholicavenger1]

i copied and pasted the anti part.

[alcoholicavenger1]

ozzy anti-moustachedisestablishment­arianism.so the church can't take "is" stache away. ha

[stevomccls]

..................fuck yes

[337camo]

@Deathraged yea....fuck wikipedia. technical ecstasy was the next album.

[CentraCross]

@337camo Nothing wrong with Wikipedia - only the idiots who don't know how to use it.

[tgm5150]

@CentraCross I agree

[MetalRagnaroc]

...and Thrash Metal was born.

[337camo]

@Deathraged This song is on the Sabotage album....1975.

[RuthlessRich]

They must have been so high when they wrote some of the lyrics for this

[1surfersurfer]

this is the best band ever to walk this earth

[Influx27]

sounds like there's something wrong with this recording - starting at around 2:00, where I would expect to hear to drum strikes I hear something else. It's like a *put put* sound. It might just be that my speakers are bad, but I'm pretty sure they're still good.

Anyone else hearing this?

[VidsByDaniel]

@Influx27

That's Geezer thumpin' his bass.

[337camo]

@Influx27 haha yea thats the bass guitar.

[80zWhiteRabbit]

@337camo Could just be the bass drum.

[337camo]

@80zWhiteRabbit it is some kind of bass either drum or guitar....heavy bass makes a muddy sound.

[LVBPMagallanes]

Uffff... asi se toca la guitarra... lommi el mejor de los mejores...

[wanderlust321]

these were the lrycs that masryk recited whilst horizontal in the doorway on lawrence ave.

[jadaal21]

stone cold crazy by queen is the first thrash metal song ever but this was one of the first

[masternewbz117]

@jadaal21 False for two reasons. Number one, that song isn't even close to as heavy or Thrash Metal as this. Number two, Sabotage only came out like not even a year after Sheer Heart Attack

[crunkalac]

@jadaal21 haaah Queen and Metal

[HerveGamerDude]

@jadaal21 i disagree. where is the double bass?

[jadaal21]

@BlackSabbathory they play the ending riff but without the vocals

[AncientChildVII]

I always thought it was "Seventh advent uni-god" lol. According to the Sabbath online site, Geezer's lyrics say "Seventh advent unicorn". I think mine is better ;)

[dustpetardo]

este wey tiene una voz bien culera jajaja

no maaaa no puedo creer que esto se considere como inicios del thrash metal.... cada quien lo considera a su gusto, para mi no lo es.

[Brutaliswaffen]

@dustpetardo

¿Que te pasa pedazo de infelíz? ¡ESTÁS HABLANDO DE BLACK SABBATH! Ellos son los reyes del rock and roll. Recuerda. De que hablan. Sapo.

[dustpetardo]

@Brutaliswaffen seran lo que sean

para MI no lo son por que no me gusta ._.

[espartano1234567]

@dustpetardo pudrete en el infierno

[dustpetardo]

@espartano1234567 me pudrire gustoso en el infierno a lado de slayer =)

[MegaRamartin]

you gotta love the drums in this song YEEAAAH!!

[johanlehrian]

Chek my channel for the death metal cover ;) (Evil Incarnate made it 13 years ago)

[mariiguana]

Ozzy was really hot...

[frmilk]

@JayPC21 It's, it's....

[59mar]

only 28000 hits ?!

what are people listening to these days for christ sakes ?!!...

[59mar]

this is great music why is it not appreciated much more? known by a much wider audience?

it should be sung at school !:-)

[TheMysticsRealm]

lyrics are incorrect.

[mralexforbes]

first thrash riff

[AdeebJaber]

I like watching this in 720P. Why you ask? Why not?!

[666Exoskeleton]

I think its the first thrash metal song ever written

[TheTrebooor]

"700th unicorn..."? isn't it "7th night, the unicorn..."

[MiloSassy2010]

@BlackSabbathory me too but cover bands never play the brilliant ending

[RuthlessRich]

What IS this song about? Anyone?

[MiloSassy2010]

@RuthlessRich love is the symptom of the universe

[59mar]

@RuthlessRich use your imagination.

[Markusson96]

first thrash metal song

[PumpkinPuffer]

This was the heaviest shit in the mid 70's.

[WishmasterTheDark]

This band has created Heavy Metal music.

They are the first Heavy Metal and Doom Metal band, ever.

This is the first Thrash Metal song, ever.

[santanaincubus]

Whenever I play futuristic Sci Fi games, this song pops in my head especially the first verse.

[TheMaxaff]

Brütal Legend :

4EVER !!!

[Leblokkolt]

Who is the one idiot that hit dislike?

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

I love metal where you can hear the bass. Black Sabbath is the coolest band ever, and fuck you twice if you disagree.

[JamesTaline]

ya kun truc à dire kan técoute ça... LACHE TOI PUTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tworiverspete]

Love the riff....Sabbath Forever

[gearsofhalo2]

wow they were really AHEAD of their time

[kcor6]

this song and all the album start the wave of trash metal, like metallica.... sabbath are awsome!!!

[KrassSucks]

Fuckin' Sabbaaaaathhhhhhh. The Symptom of The universe is written in your eyes,

Geezer was truly a wizard of words

[pistoldance]

supper sweet



[x666satanhimself666x]

first thrash metal song ever played right here!

[FlitkoSLO]

@x666satanhimself666x Stone Cold Crazy?

[gdsac]

I just love the entire song.

[ironman058]

only if i could go back in time to the 70s for a week id fucking love. id see a sabbath concert and other bands and do so much coke hahah

[williedrummer]

Ozzy Osbourne and the moustaches of doom.

Don't tell me you wouldn't go to see that even if you didn't know who they were

[Viperluver13]

@williedrummer they are brilliant moustaches,indeed...indeed

[ClaimhSolais]

First thrash metal song

[widzewlordi]

@ClaimhSolais this song is from 1975 check Queen's Stone Cold Crazy from 1973

[ClaimhSolais]

@widzewlordi Indeed. However, Stone Cold Crazy is proto-speed.. Not thrash.

[widzewlordi]

@ClaimhSolais And both songs and bands are awesome :D

[ClaimhSolais]

@widzewlordi Indeed once more. We miss Mercury..In these cRAP dominated days..

[classicrockNo1]

@BlackSabbathory it'd be interesting to see what he would look like with a beard or moustache

[darthkiller14]

when i die my heaven would be a world of Heavy metal like brutal legend

[santanaincubus]

The ending is like a bunch of hippies in a big field throwing their hands up in the air doing psychedelic stoned dance then holding hands and spinning round and round.

[TeamGreenBurrito]

Is it just me, or does Ozzy kinda look like Ashton Kutcher, all pouty in his henley?...

[TheShredifi]

so how bout them yankees?

[svartlav]

killer bass

[KILLERKILLER3712]

Fuck yeah no dislikes

[Individual1991]

Wouw, left one looks exactly(!) like dennis hopper in easy rider :)

[JayPC21]

Love the ending of this song

[SINALMA2]

@JayPC21 is..........i have no words to say what is..

[Uzumakhi]

@SINALMA2 The answer to that sound is the meaning of life!

is like a beautiful place ...

tasty food ....

a smell of childhood ....

only that this case is a perfect harmony of sound!

every human on earth, look all around you in your own way.

And I like all of you to hypnotize through this final stretch of the music

in our work day, after a fight with his girlfriend, when we lose someone, when we won something, be playing all the music.

Black Sabbath Thanks for producing something so great!

[Romans10Thirteen]

@JayPC21

Yea Me Tooo!! Hey yall check out the first vid in my favorites (good person) Thanks man =)

[chriscmac]

sabbath is god



[duppydoopy]

@JayPC21 sounds like the Grateful Dead at the end.......or Greatful Black Dead Sabbath super group

[EXTREME4YEARSTOCOME]

3:28 to4:02 gives me a satisfying shiver down my spine

[topshelfrj]

this is the greatest acid laced love song ever :P

[Sk8Nature]

4:13

Beautiful just excellent

T_T

[SlayerSaves96]

The greatest band in the whole history of the universe

[classicZOSO]

Modern Rock (yeah im looking at you guys Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold/ripoff of Overkill, Jonas Bros) bend over and let Classic Rock OWN you! You guys wouldn't be here if not for Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and more when Rock was real!!

[denouncechristianity]

Great record!

[Influx27]

The perfect Valentines Day song

[kamikazeboy123]

who knows in the parallel universe Rock n metal conquers the world to this day.If only we could do it again in this world.

[SINALMA2]

@kamikazeboy123 it would be awesome!

[thevashfan12392]

@SINALMA2 i made a cult where everyday we listen to any type of metal and if a person says something about anything other than metal we shout "FUCK OFF WITH THAT SHIT" we have to its are commandments by the all mighty prince of darkness and the gaurdian of all metal ozzy osbourne (had to say it at school got in trouble long story short you can cuss if your in my cult other than that you can't we have special unforgeable keycards)

[TheMysticsRealm]

@thevashfan12392 Apparently Spelling is optional in the cult..lmao

[thevashfan12392]

@TheMysticsRealm  only online

[foolcicle13]

@thevashfan12392 Youre so fuckn scary

[thevashfan12392]
