War Pigs by Black Sabbath, but every lyric is an AI generated image

I used Midjourney to create all the images. Will shortly share the complete prompt glossary I used to create the lyrical images and environments.

2. I see a lot of comments asking why I focused only on one angle of war in the video. That's a fair assessment. But my focus was largely on one aspect of the Vietnam War. I am inclined to making another version of this song that comments on war as a general, rather than focus on USA alone. Not right now, but some time in the coming months. Leave a reply below if you want to see it. I'll do it if you guys are interested. Feel free to also you use this thread to drop any song recommendation for which you'd like to see a lyrical in the future.

THIS WASN'T JUST A SONG.
IT'S A MESSAGE.

[DrMatey]

One of the greatest anti-war songs ever. Far ahead of it's time. Ozzie does a 5 star job as the bands vocalist

[Roosters-rants]

It's amazing and sick that this song is still so relevant today all these years later

Next month I’ll be 72, and I’m still listening to this song. Thank you for the graphics’s, absolutely amazing, and so appropriate!

Just WOW!!! This is WAY deep. For those of us old enough to remember this as an anti-war song, the images are way beyond anything I could have imagined over the last 50 years. Keep in mind... War Pigs by Black Sabbath, but every lyric is an AI generated image. Even as a military veteran, I can say you know what you sign up for and pray it never happens, but sometimes shit hits the fan and the diplomacy of politicians fails, and it falls on the military to clean up their mess and deal with the trauma they will never know. Politicians deserve to be treated like dogs and have their noses shoved in the shit they create. Maybe, just maybe, they might learn something from it, but I won't hold my breath. They haven't learned that lesson since Vietnam.

I remember when I first heard War Pigs, Black Sabbath was singing about all the politicians behind the war in Vietnam and the generals who were pushing the war. I had three cousins who had to go. One came home with no legs to his wife and daughter, one came home after being left alone in Cambodia nutty as a fruitcake, and one came home in a box. I joined the Air Force and went to Southeast Asia anyway. I fared the best, still a 100% service connected disabled veteran.

50 years old song but the guitar riffs are incredibly impressive!

To those who assume Ozzy is a devil worshiper, I think not. I think he understands, you can't have one, without the other.

I had never heard this song until I snuck into an Ozzie show. When this song was played EVERYONE sang along. I was moved, and have been a fan ever since. The graphics displayed here have moved me to tears. I hope we can get our shit together before it's too late! Pray for humanity!

[vincentoddo]

Outstanding song and still relevant today. These pictures were amazing too.

[billholder]

The AI images are terrifying and utterly suitable to the song.

My god so good! When I was a kid in the eighties, I had a teacher who would let me post drawings on the board in his classroom. I posted a drawing of a pig sitting at a consul launching nuclear missiles and it was all about this song. I was always the bad kid but this teacher understood me and my art. As an outcast he was one person that understood me.

[irishamerican]

I have been listening to this song for over 40 years.
I've never needed AI to explain it to me, but I did enjoy the video.

[NiCadHeliPilot]

Goes to show that as old as what this song is, it's still _very_ relevant to this day. I am reminded of the phrase "War. War never changes." from the Fallout franchise, & putting that in the context provided here, & thinking of the wars of recent history (Afghanistan, Timor Leste, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine)... all of it is more accurate now, more so than ever.

[denyspoyner]

The song will always be relevant. The images are stunning. 😮

[lotharhamburg]

Best anti war song ever never to be beaten ✝️🔥 Sabbath the creation of HEAVY METAL.Period

[shroompicn-shrooman]

I'm over 50 now and have been listening to Black Sabbath since the beginning of the 70's when i first really started to understand that music had a meaning or a message.. this song has been one of my favorite songs and my hands down favorite band since i was like 10 years old..
That was definitely one if the best videos put to music i have ever seen.
Thanks for your work.. its much appreciated..
