Mentioned already in the rock thread, if you're curious.
As for that video, it was someone's college project. That's not actually the video for that song but, rather, is something someone made many years down the line.
And, well, it is awesome. It could easily pass for real. I forget the artist's name but they did an amazing job.

Alao, as far as music goes, the Iron Man's intro is often called 'Satan's notes'. This is not due to anyone in Black Sabbath being any particular religion, but due to the sound and the affect it had one the people at the time.
Interstingly, that was Toni Iommi, one of the greatest guitarists out there. You could say that he was the godfather of 'Neoclassical Metal'. Also, he was missing a giant chunk of his finger. He wore a self-made prosthetic.
I can probably go on with factoids, so I'll try not to. This is a Linux forum.
I myself (a classical guitarist by training) am a fan. I also fricken' love some Neoclassical Metal. For example, some of Metallica could fit that category. Malmsteen (a jackass by training) is also an amazingly good example.
(No, Ozzty didn't eat a bat, or bite off the heads of kittens.)

Black Sabbath was an unusual band. I liked them.
Yes "This is a Linux forum" although we are in the off topic section.
I like Metallica.
I've heard and read that it mainly was doves and other types of birds.
Unless a person were there in upfront seating it'd be hard to know.
Ozzy Osbourne was known for his on stage shenanigans.
That looks right to me. They made an amazing video for the song. It was so good that it sort of became the default video for the song. I would not be surprised to find that that video for War Pigs got more plays than any other War Pigs video on YouTube.
As he aged, it's as though Ozzy forgot how to talk. It reached the point where I couldn't understand much of what he said. However, he sure could still sing. He was also fairly prolific. If we count his work with Black Sabbath, he was on something like 25 albums.
I liked Ozzy, but not enough to have watched a live stream of his funeral procession or whatnot.
I don't think I'd do that for anyone who isn't a real life friend or family member.
Then again, I've never watched a live stream of a wedding. So, there's that. I did happen to be at someone's house that had a royal wedding on the television. I did note it but didn't pay much attention and left long before it was over.

I only knew him by name and from MTV growing up, watched a few minutes of the stream but just thought I'd share it here for those that might have had an interest to watch it.
Absolutely...I was merely sharing my thoughts on the matter.
I've been a fan for many years. I believe I can remember where I was when I first heard Black Sabbath. I don't recall which song I heard first. I'm pretty sure we listened to the whole album.
I was pretty young at the time and it was something refreshingly new and interesting. The guitar was amazing and the vocals meaningful and passionate.
Of course, the times were much different.
