Black Sabbath - Headless Cross (cross purposes live)

the best song of the tony martin era.
its a shame that cozy powell wasn't in the band in cross purposes record, but in the video is tony martin, bobby rondinelli, geof nichols and the masters "geezer butler" and "tony iommi"

[@bernardoa.garciah.2316]

This era of Black Sabbath has been criminally overlooked by many, but if you really open your ears and your mind you'll discover that this era was musically rich and that there are many great songs from that period that still hold up very well today. Tyr and Headless Cross can compete toe to toe with Mob Rules or Heaven And Hell any day of the week.

[@virgenfigueroa2586]

It's one of my all time favorites

[@johnkatsoudas4767]

I agree with you. I have been a Black Sabbath fan for over thirty years and most of that time I just listened to the Ozzy era and Ronnie James Dio era. A year ago I finally gave all the other eras a chance and I was very pissed off at myself for not doing that a long time ago. l now also love the Ian Gillian era, Glen Hughes era, Ray Gillien era, and especially the Tony Martin era alot. I really love The Eternal Idol, Headless Cross, TYR, and Cross Purposes alot. The Eternal Idol, Headless Cross, and TYR are definitely on the same level of greatness as Heaven And Hell, and The Mob Rules. The Tony Martin era is extremely underrated. Just the song The Headless Cross should be a huge classic just like Paranoid , Iron Man, and War Pigs are. The riff on it is amazing.

[@marufsaad961]

Cross Purposes is undoubtedly a Masterpiece!

[@danielarias1203]

I love Toni Martin's era.

[@mmmcosta]

"Tyr and Headless Cross can compete toe to toe with Mob Rules or Heaven And Hell any day of the week." They can't, but are still great.

[@mjulio71]

Bob Rondinelli is so underrated! He did a great job filling Cozy Powell's shoes with both Rainbow and Sabbath.

[@leonardoferreira9580]

Rondinelli was awesome here!!

[@mark_beastpriest5539]

I have this show on DVD. I have every Sabbath album, and I can say Tony Martin was one of the best. So horribly underated by "fans", and many of them never really bothered to listen to him and give him a fair chance.

[@tomsawyer5736]

Tony sounds like the perfect cross between Ozzy & Dio.Yet he also has his own sound .

[@ThibautKurt23]

Tony Martin was sick during this show, but he does his best to assure the show.

[@CreditSecretsBible]

Funny thing is he a throat infection at the end of this tour when they filmed the album (of course 99% of sabbath fans are unaware of this). Listen to Headless Cross from 1989. Eternal Idol from 1987 (Not too mention his four other albums with sabbath)> Saying this guy can't sing is like saying Ian Gillian can't sing. Can't remember the last time I saw a singer fill the shoes of 4 other guys before him (Osbourne, Dio, Gillan, Hughes) on tour? Tony Martin is a Brillian Singer and Musician.

[@ferrreira]

He totally is. I dare to say, he's my favourite Black Sabbath vocalist.

[@phuongdh]

I love Tony Martin, he brings a totally new and unique sound to Black Sabbath. Much better than Ozzy era IMHO

[@benngullie9110]

Tony’s heavy guitar riff is the ultimate of metal

[@mmmcosta]

The heaviest, by far.

[@JSurm]

i love watching geezer play that bass. it looks awesome and so flawless. he's an intense player.

[@SuperSaiyanGamerDBZ]

all the singers in black sabbath are unique and they all shared their talents with the world

[@chrsvor25]

i read somewhere on a bootleg site that his voice had problems 1992-94. look up the live in osaka bootleg. its amazing. he pulls off dio songs amazingly.

[@gandalfthewhitedog252]

2020 and I still like this song, never gets old...

[@AnnWahlquist]

Listen, classics never die.....🤘🤘🤘😉

[@CreditSecretsBible]

Music is subjective. Therefore it cracks me up how people on these posts start throwing mud saying one person is better than another! Tony Martin was my favorite sab singer (though I loved them all) he did the best job filling everyones shoes. Imagine the job "OK, we need you to fill the shoes of five singers over the past 20+ years... can you do it?" I saw him live so many times it was amazing how well he sang all the other past singers material. He is very talented.

[@vaneipontes3279]

Mr.Bobby Rondinelli👉 Great Drummer 👊👏👏👏

[@GorGob]

Whatever Iommi does it's fantastic! All hail Sabbath!

[@kraspet8356]

Tony Martin is not only an excellent singer, he is also a very good musician - he plays many different instruments - guitars, drums, violin, piano. Cozy was looking for another singer but Iommi insisted on Tony Martin and here is the result, two of Black Sabbath's most musically great albums - TYR & Headless cross !!!

[@domenicotruzzu3128]

Bobby rondinelli👌💪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@SaulNuts]

Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi are MONSTERS. Tony Martin is an amazing singer. It's a shame he is paid little attention to.

[@portugalnewlife6712]

UM dos melhores trabalhos de TONY MARTIN no grande BLACK SABBATH !!! Pra min ele fez um bom trabalho , assim , como IAN GYLLAN .

[@sosouchoa416]

my fav version of this song

[@vaneipontes3279]

Sabbath line up show: Iommi, Martin, Butler, Rondinelli And Nicholls👏👏👏

[@ikill4klondikebars]

"Before this i'd never heard Tony Martin live, and was in the thinking that he was a better singer than he actually is. But you hit the nail on the head there, in that he is a studio singer, a very good one, but only one all the same" Martin had a throat infection on this tour. If you want to hear him live, look online for some of the Martin era Sabbath bootlegs.

[@Peter-gt1th]

Headless cross and Tyr are epic albums Tony Martin is such a brilliant vocalist

[@Motorin1960]

Tony super!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@debbieathy5204]

Love me some Black Sabbath yeah

[@jaepejaepe]

I know alot of people will disagree with me on this, but in my opinion, this is the greatest Sabbath song. No knock on Ozzy and Ronnie, I love them too and they were a part of some of the greatest jams ever composed in the history of rock, but this one's #1. Peace!

[@kabband]

Love this song

[@leandrofernandez1616]

Que temazo te levanta el animo x las nubes 👍🖤💣

[@osivor1021]

great team with Vinnie Appice & Tony Martin, awesome drums, perfect voice... Sabbath is eternal.

[@aaronmcmahon7462]

That's not Appice. He was back in Dio with Ronnie at this point. The drummer is Bobby Rondinelli.

[@ferrreira]

That's Bobby Rondinelli.

[@x.rickenbacker9393]

Man deserves more respect. Amazing albums he did.

[@muhammadnoorbinrohani39]

Bobby Rondinelli is the world best Drummer in the world.

[@Trefellin]

I consider this to be Sabbath no matter what anyone says. Iommi is more sabbath than Ozzy. With Ozzy you get the best chemistry, Dio gives you a better singer and a classier feel. I like the more gothic sound of Tony Martin and there are killer awesome songs from that era. Its all good, well excluding Never Say Die!

[@vaneipontes8517]

Geoffrey James Nicholls r.i.p 🎼🎶🎹🙏👊

[@grindmike1]

headless cross is a great fucking song. Tony Martin rocks yeah! \m/

[@D.Z.A.-kp8lf]

Cozy Powell came back for the next album and the last album forbidden with this lineup of Black Sabbath era Neil Murray also came back to play bass on the next album as well

[@vaneipontes3279]

True🎵🎼🎶🎸😎👊

[@royares]

Cozy debió tocar en Croos Purposes y en ese concierto 😕😕😕

[@AnnWahlquist]

AMAZING

[@vaneipontes3279]

Great Show of Sabbath🎸🎤👏👏👏

[@DEMONSKULL7]

A great live version of this great song!

[@hambone9119]

iommi and geezer are fucking great on this song and clip.

[@9999487]

geezers bass brauche ich morgens zum aufstehn

[@consigliere2.0]

Gezzer Butler is able to make the difficult easy. He is an elevated soul. I am seriously thinking that he is the creator of the universe. Cheers from Uruguay.

[@nhnative10]

love this song

[@JorgeSolanoVargas]

I feel and think the same, one of my top favorite songs.

[@KenzoMartinNBA2K]

[@combr]

From the day it was created, till now Black Sabbtah allways raised the standard for what a heavy metal band should sound like. And by the way Rondinelli's druming in this song is awesome

[@muhammadnoorbinrohani39]

Black Sabbath is the world best heavy metal band in the world.

[@nicotesla6094]

Who is ozzy? Tony Martin the master.

[@mysticalOldBard]

the shining!! no headless cross......just post both of them tony martin rules!!

[@SuddenStorm982]

Great song 🏆

[@oldskoolshredda]

Before this i'd never heard Tony Martin live, and was in the thinking that he was a better singer than he actually is. But you hit the nail on the head there, in that he is a studio singer, a very good one, but only one all the same

[@Uniqorn]

I saw tony play this in a cover band in 2005 that played a couple old sabbath songs as well and it was fantastic

[@TheUnbreakableOtaku]

Martin was sick for most of this tour, unfortunately, so this isn't really a good example of what he can do. However, he still does great, which is a testament to his ability.

[@gringojames]

Great song by Tony Martin !!! (and this drummer is Paul Stanley ?) kkk

[@Ev105]

I like how HnH isn't doing any Ozzy stuff, but this sounds like a good one for Dio. I'd also like to hear Dio sing Valhalla.

[@jkoruty]

I noticed that he did not hit the notes he hits on the studio version. But based on the work in the studio, this guy is every bit as good as Dio if not better.

[@edutherocker5095]

black sabbath com tony martin e destruidor

[@YogaArmy]

awesome!

[@adriankasparek]

yeah! definitelly!

[@werlysarioch3692]

Clássico!!

[@davidquesada6666]

Tony brutal

[@jnishar]

very good.. i have this concert on dvd.. BR does a great job, playes it allmost like the orginal.. .. i would rather have had cozy though

[@markevans1968]

Bobby has a history of replacing Cozy 😌

[@damienfour2]

great video..hail!!!!

[@damienfour2]

great video...hail

[@JosefK93]

@cubby3o5 Tony never sang anything from the "Ian Gillan Era". Sure it was a short era, but just wanted to point that out. I really liked that they performed "Heart Like a Wheel" on the TYR tour though, that was as appreciated as it was unsuspected :D

[@Dawn43069]

Best drummer ever!

[@elegyrulz]

Shining dude,cmon!

[@fernandobarbieri4629]

🤘😠🤘 FODASTICO ✝️🎸🎶 Black Sabbath is the best !!!

[@SonnyGTA]

Yes, you are correct. It IS Tony Martin...but I think the OTHER singer you mean is RAY Gillen.

[@leonardoferreira9580]

O timbre da bateria nessa época era foda demais!! De uns anos pra cá um tom usado aí nesse show é usado como surdo hoje em dia ahahaha e tudo soando plástico com tanto trigger e efeito. Fora que não existem mais vocalistas, hoje qualquer um grava alguma coisa com caralhada de efeito e auto tune.

[@JorgeSolanoVargas]

¡De las canciones que más me gustan de estos animales! Grande Sabbath!

[@DanielFRossi]

The best.

[@cisteina1]

@judasbrave Agree...great album..i love it!:-)

[@KS_Buffett]

슬프지만 단 한번도 토니마틴의 제대로 된 라이브를 본적이 없다. 과연 스튜디오 녹음판에서 보여준 엄청난 질감의 헤비메탈 고음이 실제로 시현 가능한건인지 의문이든다.

[@muhammadnoorbinrohani39]

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

[@tireb]

Tony Martin is the BEST

[@ozzyland]

I agree 100%

[@Mmebsuta]

I agree. Bobby Rondinelli is great on the tubs; a lot of stomp and power.

[@kulto1986]

On of the best solos of Toni in my opinion

[@mariosalazaruriburu4169]

buen tema carajo .

[@SilverTounge85]

I agree! But Geezer does this well. There are videos and recordings from the South American leg of the 'Headless Cross' Tour as well, where Bill Ward joined in, and they did this song Live w. him too.

[@james200127288]

i think you can only get it on VHS.

[@cisteina1]

@Dawn43069 yes!Great Bobby!

[@rektkex]

yes, you're right :P

[@cisteina1]

@sheldondoppler yes is Geezer \m/

[@user-lg5ll5fo9l]

Це просто бомба

[@jaepejaepe]

I don't know how true thi is, but I heard he was sick during this recording. I tend to believe that because after watching some of his other performances (before and adter this one), he didn't have this problem. Neverteless, I like this version better thanthe original. Hopefully, they'll get together and tour at some point although, highly improbable...

Dont forget Ian Gillan he is also awsome.

[@cisteina1]

@eli123ky yes!

[@gunman42782]

Very good quality video. Martins sounds better live than on the album!

[@elgordosensual]

TM is a excellent vocalist. Moreover, you never should expect the same performance for the live vocals if compared with the studio records. Simply because on tour your voice is highly damaged and only a few vocalists can maintain a good performance on stage after so much time singing.

[@txfreitas]

Do Caralho!!!!!

[@revalfresh]

Black Sabbath is a Legend and we love them. Everyone should listen to them. They are one of our biggest influences. Our band Amaggot Bordir owes alot to them. We just added a new video today on my profile if anyone wants to hear something new and heavily influenced by Sabbath.

[@falsemajesty2316]

I feel this era was greater than ozz together

[@pumpkinheadsteve]

agreed

[@ramonda]

its the only video that i found of this concert, but i have a lot of cool stuff. This saturday i gonna upload Born Again's Digital Bitch and zero the hero live in london... stay tune!!! REYMOND from Mexicali Mexico (the north of course)

[@cisteina1]

@ModalGroove I'm not agree...i LOVE Dio but Tony Martin is a great singer
