Scott's Metal Track of Day - War Pigs (Live) by Black Sabbath

Today's Metal Track is one of the most iconic songs from the Godfathers of Heavy Metal, Black Sabbath. War Pigs is the opening track off of their 1970 album Paranoid which is on of the most influential albums in metal history.

The song originated from some of the bands jam sessions at The Beat Club in Switzerland. The guys had to play multiple sets and when they ran out of material, they turn to jam sessions. I chose the live version 1) because it's an awesome performance (Especially Ward on drums), 2) because I didn't like the other studio versions posted for various reasons, and 3) This contains alternate lyrics compared to the studio version.

The instrumental outro is know as Luke's Wall.
