[@BruceBarrera]

One of the best Sabbath's tracks, I don't understand why is so underrated!

[@NevatAfriat]

cause people stupid

[@GorGob]

It's because sharon osbourne's marketing talent.

[@gargamel9173]

Whole Tony Martin era IS so underrated. It IS sad fact. Because He was the best option for band after dio 's end. Very talented Singer with beautiful voice.

[@mikekeeler6362]

No rock radio stations ever give that any attention plus it's hard to get the music

[@ModifiedImportsandDomestics]

Biggest problem was I don’t think IRS did a good job of marketing any of the albums from that era. Lots of record stores weren’t carrying these albums unfortunately.

[@davidnissim589]

Bobby Rondinelli slaying on the drums

[@roadkillofficialaustralia]

Love the Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath - some outstanding songs like this one - awesome! \m/

[@muhammadnoorbinrohani39]

Geezer Butler is the world best Bass Guitarist in the world.

[@mikekeeler6362]

And then he left the band and said he couldn't relate to that lineup he said it wasn't Black Sabbath

[@me_angelo]

​@@mikekeeler6362 it doesnt make it less than what it is. Geezer is a phantom of rock. 🤘❤️

[@raz-al-baddez]

Esse álbum (Cross Purposes) é do caralho. Tony Martin é um excelente vocalista, e fodam-se os críticos.

[@HarukiSerikawa]

***** Concordo!

[@pelikyyz]

Radamés Lins Tony realmente era incrível com o Sabbath, mais TYR foi seu melhor álbum com a banda...

[@andrerodriguesfreitas6303]

Exatamente meu jovem! 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@augustocesarmarques4052]

Falou e disse !

[@muhammadnoorbinrohani39]

Tony Martin is the best heavy metal Lead Vocalist in the world.

[@alchie3867]

He was kinda bad live

[@federicoperriconi827]

Great song and album

[@elimarsilvanikock7818]

absolutely a personal favorite of me from that era, the great tony martin on vocals.

[@SeventhOne]

Fantastic live vocals

[@sonderby100]

He did have a throat infection during this tour dude. Watch some stuff from the Tyr tour. You'll be amazed

[@TheWolfe666]

Cross Purposes Live is a killer concert. Used to play this vhs tape a lot back in the day. A good mix of the Martin/Dio/Ozzy eras material, but probably should've had more Martin songs..

[@Papus2007]

O vocal bem técnico do Tony Martin com a cozinha instrumental do Black Sabbath em conjunto com a máquina guitar de riffs de Tommi Iomi deixava o Heavy Metal épico e com ar mitológico ! Sensacional ! Todos álbuns com vocais de Tony Martin são excelentes!

[@SuperBenblake]

Tony Martin era is my favourite era together with Ozzy. I love Dio too one of my favourites and I still can't stand a world without him, but Tony Martin brought so much to the band. He is very underrated incredibly underrated. He got a raw deal from Sabbath and hasn''t had enough of a career post the firing of him which was a very poor decision!

[@rafazardly]

I saw him live in Brasília - capital of Brazil - in 2009 or 2010 can't remember exactly, he is bald now xD but he did not play ANY song from cross purposes nor forbidden... btw saw Dio with heaven & hell too, and ozzy osbourne with sabbath 2 times and 2 more in his solo band yeah i feel glad for my life! :D

[@elimarsilvanikock7818]

dio and martin era are the greatest my choice

[@MrDee51]

Great singer Toni Martins, good job

[@freddyleon4847]

It's impossible not headbanging when you hear Tony Iommi riffs, they are great. Underrated album the same as Tony Martin even though he can't reach high notes singing in live but he is still one of my favorites. lml

[@lalmuanpuiapachuau3714]

He was not feeling at that time but still continued the tour

[@kalomimaria]

Amo todo esse álbum ... Love Black Sabbath \m/

[@jorginho4176]

Espetacular esse som !Tony Martin grande vocal .

[@16366gustavo]

Tony martin The best

[@LakeFossilPress]

This song kicked ass on Cross Purposes -- but hearing it live, holy fuck it sounds fucking cool. I want to see Ozzy sing this one.

[@muhammadnoorbinrohani39]

Tony Iommi is the world best Lead Guitarist in the world.

[@zebranistic]

The best of the sabbath frontmen ! Powerful voice .. it´s just my opinion

[@dinovanjak8593]

They are the best i love their music.

[@martin0815123]

great voice great album

[@capitan_nostalgia]

Simplemente exelente tema lleno de poder y rudo

[@kellygallagher7148]

I love this song. Every time Black Sabbath changes singers, the style totally changes, so I can understand why some people like one version but not others. I love the Tony Martin Black Sabbath, though. It's my second favorite after Ozzy. I still love Dio too, but mostly in context of his whole career, rather than just Black Sabbath.

[@Right1148]

Tony Martin,oh!LOVE!!!

[@annaburke6164]

Badass!

[@vaneipontes3824]

Wow Yeah ⚡🔥👊💪🤘😎🇧🇷

[@renecruz8973]

I saw this song live at the San José Event Center, good times!✟🇬🇧✞⸸⁶⁶⁶⛧🤘

[@rockdog2843]

Kickass jam! Geezers on fire -- WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[@icedangel61]

great performance!

[@muhammadnoorbinrohani39]

Bobby Rondinelli is the world best Drummer in the world.

[@annaburke6164]

The best Sabbath album.

[@vaneipontes3824]

I do not agree, + I respect your opinion We Are Together Brother, Hail From 🇧🇷 São Paulo

[@paulom.511]

I think is the best Sabbath with Tony Martin. I enjoy albuns like Headless Cross and TYR, but Cross Purposes for me sounds like a classic Black Sabbath with Ozzy, but with Martin singing. We got here the powerful riffs of Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler. Sabbath is not the same thing without Geezer.

[@mrnan1970]

Bobby Rondinelli super!

[@GeezerButler76]

I prefer the Ozzy/Dio era but cross purposes is a good heavy metal album and Tony Martin has a great voice

[@maniamraja5543]

Tony will be frozen in time

[@vaneipontes3824]

True!!! Mr. Anthony "Riff Master" Frank Iommi 🎸

[@jcvny]

Brutal! So poweful!!!!!

[@user-dc4mx3eu4h]

Way,Тони Мартин!!!!

[@THECURELOST13]

very good explanation i didn't think of that, probably correct. but in scouring the internet for an answer to this, i have seen 2 other places/pages/sites list Cyndi as composer unrelated to media player. does it say this in iTUNES as well? i dont really care but it is just hard to picture all them in the studio together. i especially love the chorus.

[@MrSangi84]

"- 180? - 220..."

[@canoelicker]

@cbFIN - not sure of the story here other than she has been credited with partial composer staus on this track on Cross Purposes. I was just curious to what the extent she contributed was. If anyone knows. please post. Thanks again !

[@KaineOfficial]

it's a feck up on Windows Media Player that she gets credit for this song due to her own song

[@ibanezzzwot1218]

[@maniamraja5543]

Next to Dio

[@mcarpegna]

I like Tony Martin A LOT in studio, in every album he made with Iommi... but lieve, man, he seems to do no effort to replicate the notes he sang in the record... no closely! isaw him live in Argentina, monster of Rock 1994, and he sounded really bad... I still love his work anyway....

[@Grandmastergav86]

From what I've heard, his throat "went" around 91 hence what you described.

[@JohnnyangelNIU]

Mario - Much of the cross purposes tour in early 94, Tony Martin was on again off-again sick for most of that tour. So vocally, these performances would not showcase him at his best. A much better representation of Tony would be the headless in Russia DVD from 1989, he was much better vocally obviously. Of course, that was five years earlier, but on all the tours, Geoff Nicholls also helped with backing vocals and many of the ‘high’ parts.

[@canoelicker]

Cindi Lauper helped compose this song - anyone know to what extent? Thanks for the post.

[@thefonzkiss]

Zero extent.

[@jesse_boy666]

One cool fucking song....that's all there is

[@andreabaldan9339]

Ma perché gli acuti nei live Tony Martin non li fa??

[@tjfreak]

is that Rondinelli ? sure sounds like him..This sounds like it's right off the board...

[@bptmbptm]

yes, it's him

[@TheJef777]

O Tony Martin cantando em estúdio é maravilhoso, mas quando o faz ao vivo parece não fazer esforço nenhum pra alcançar as notas altas das músicas :/

[@paulom.511]

Na verdade ele deu um pouco de azar, pois nessa época ele estava com as cordas vocais debilitadas, dizem que estava gripado. Existem outros registros, inclusive na turnê do Forbidden, onde ele se apresentou muito bem. Martin sem dúvidas era o cara certo, porém na hora errada. O registro de melhor qualidade é justo aquele onde sua performance não foi das melhores

[@nicotesla6094]

The heavy metal origins: black sabbath - black sabbath The power metal origins: black sabbath - Eternal idol.

[@andreabaldan9339]

Te vanno bene i black sabbath???

[@Vhaldemar90]

I like Martin's voice but he can't reach the high notes live.

[@ericsmith1979]

Dio singing this world have been amazing

[@odishudson4739]

Good job singing but he was avoiding the high parts

[@andreabaldan9339]

O famo strano!!! 180? 220

[@CommishsPlace]

Ozzy is so overrated... Tony Martin wastes him vocally, but too bad the albums he sang on went almost unnoticed. It's a case where the legend over-shadows reality.

[@batphink2655]

WHO was it that said Tony had little stage presence? ARE they f..king serious? He's an excellent singer, Lyricist and great front man. Let's be honest Ozzy was a shit front man 'leapfrog" wtf is that? it looks ridiculous!

[@nicotesla6094]

Todos os álbuns com o Tony Martin são excelentes e o pior álbum do sabbath se chama Technical ecstasy; fodam-se os críticos.

[@vaneipontes3824]

Pra mim, são 2 álbuns / Techical Escstasy, Forbindden ⚡🔥👊💪🤘😎

[@hinjurock]

3rd rate version of Dio.
