In what people are calling never-before-seen footage, a video of classic heavy metal band Black Sabbath has been unearthed and is available to see below. What’s really interesting is that it shows the band performing a live version of “War Pigs” but with different lyrics, which are supposedly the original “true” lyrics.
A YouTube comments states that the video is “…actually a protest video against foreign rock groups and the German organizers who were charging the German public 50% more than in other countries.”
You can watch the video below as well as read the supposed translation (which I cannot verify due to not being able to read/speak German).
Possible video translation:
“Black Sabbath
Rock-Circus
Frankfurt, Germany
June 6th, 1970
Then paid – 4000 Deutsche Marks
Earlier this year, Black Sabbath was still a nameless group from Birmingham. They played in small clubs for 500 DM.
Today’s average salary 7000 DM.
Every English or American group that gets on the continent, especially in Germany gets 50% more salary than in their own country.
Guilty are the organizers who accept any price. And who pays for the entire camp?
The young guys, who have little money anyway.
How long do you want to co-finance these sums?”
