[@fraternachash6015]

Tony's new record is awesome. Can't wait for the Tony era Sabbath box set

[@franciskocher200]

Tony is a great singer.😃👍

[@jeffmcpeek2526]

He may not be Sabbath's most popular singer,but he is probably the most technically talented singer.

[@jasonbala7858]

I love all Tony Martin’s stuff.

Whoa wow, an alligator or Dragon on the Cross Purposes Poster damn, & I thought that was just an Import Poster version of the World Tour in England but was actually the censored one! I have the Cross Purposes Live Concert on VHS I bought at Tower Records & also the Cross Purposes Album on Import IRS Records Vinyl I bought at Street Light Records & also a second copy I also managed to find at Reckless Records of London back in 1994, then saw you guys at the San José Event Center & the Warfield SF concert shows good times! Also Mr. Tony Iommi & Mr. Geezer Butler, I want to thank you two for throwing me your guy's Guitar Picks & Bass Picks towards me at the concerts, when you two flunged the picks into the audiences, I managed to catch your guy's Picks at the San José Sharktank, Mandalay Bay, Konocti Harbor Resort & Spa, Marysville, Fresno, Irvine, Inglewood & Hollywood Bowl concerts, my friend was really lucky & caught Bobby Rondinelli's drum stick, priceless precious memorable fun times, I'll never ever forget it! Funny thing though, I was singing the part of Psychophobia song live during the SJ Event Center show, the part where the lyrics goes, "My colors all run dry, but now I see the word in black & white, it's to late now, it's times to kiss the Rainbow goodbye!", to my old girlfriend at the time & you Mr. Tony Martin, saw me singing though out the whole concert in the audience & were shocked in utter amazement & gave me a look of glee & satisfaction, because I was the only one in the crowd, a total Diehard Faithful Sabbath Fanatic, that knew all the lyrics to the whole Cross Purposes Record! When you looked at me at the show, you gave me a look like, damn this awesome Sabbath Fan knows all the Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio, Ian Gillan & Glenn Hughes lyrics & now he knows mine, Holy Cow! In conclusion, I just want to say that I attend Ronnie James Dio's Funeral at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood Hills & met Rudy Sarzo & Glenn Hughes there in the crowd, & ask Glenn, "Now that Dio past away, is there any chance of you rejoining Sabbath again & do a World Tour doing the materials from the Seventh Star, Peel Sessions & Fused Records?", & Mr. Iommi, Glenn said, "Yeah me & Iommi are getting back together & jammin', but you didn't hear it from me!" as he laughed obnoxiously really loud in delight & rolled his eyes up in the air, thinking that he wished he could, ah heheeheee lol! But it was somber times at Ronnie's Funeral, poor Wendy Dio, she didn't even look at anybody in the crowd, God Bless her & Ronnie RIP! And thank you & God Bless you Tony Iommi, Tony Martin, Geezer Butler & Bobby Rondinelli, All Hail Sabbath, the Masters of Metal!👩‍🎤🧑‍🎤👨‍🎤 ⃝𖤐𓆩🤘𓆪🤟⃤⩜⃝🤘⃤\m/⸸⁶⁶⁶⛧🤘🇵🇭

I have not heard any Thorns tracks yet, but I am a huge Tony Martin fan. Having received his autograph, a signed photo and a personal letter, I honestly I can say he is one of my favourite singers of all time. Back Where I Belong, if you listen to it carefully for flow and melody is just about as perfect an album that an album can get. Incredibly awake and the talent, my God!

[@SuperLuckao]

Idk how any person can wriite such brilliat songs, research the themes and then sing them like that from another realm. What an intelligent and talented man Tony Martin is. GOD LIKE. To think he was an unknown is incomprehensible to me.

[@747jono]

Great interview Tony Martin is a gentleman 👏.

[@fraserdawson2913]

I've been for Tony Martin then Ozzy there Tony Martin very underrated singer

[@quattro4s]

Greetings to all from Athens, Greece

[@guillermomaldonado6277]

One of the top 10 rock/metal voices of all time to me 🍺🤘!!

[@nijamdin9655]

Many fond memories I saw that forbidden tour in Singapore BS was tight and it was a great show cozy was replaced by Bobby.

[@marcin2x4]

Can't wait for Tyr's reissue

[@jackbtlr17]

Thorns is a fantastic album!

[@Michael-x9n4z]

Sucks

[@markstoneman1585]

Headless Cross ✌

[@mohsin_aryan]

Would’ve been nice if you had asked him about his involvement in Misha Calvin’s Album.

[@tmc1054]

Jimmy,can you ask him about his work before Sabbath. I think he was in a band called Vienna. I heard the demo and it was pretty good. I think he got the job based on Iommi hearing that demo.

[@gordonenright5158]

Yes Thorns is the album of 2022. Btw Allan I agree Cross Purposes is my favourite Tony Martin Sabbath album.

[@davidscottlane7771]

I obviously love OZZY and DIO, but the Tony Martin albums are the only sabbath albums I own physical copies of. Can’t wait for the digital releases next year. Fingers crossed.

[@wallofrock6725]

Thorns is at very least a top 10 album for the year! Outstanding.

[@machine-madedog5059]

Cool, when are they going to be fucking Spotify? 🤣

[@colstonvear1958]

Radiohead have an album with an alphabetical tracklist order. A Moon Shaped Pool. There are quite a few with 3/4 tracks. Yes - Relayer. Can - Monster Movie for example. Nice interview.

[@brenobutcher]

I didn't know that, I need to be at least 100 km away from Radiohead.

[@NorsePJ]

Personally, I like the "Forbidden" album though I don't mind skipping the track with Ice-T. Also, I think the artwork is great.

FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE TONY MARTIN ERA SABBATH BOXSET

[@tinylunchbox1300]

Just an observation from a massive Black Sabbath / Tony Martin era fan: Tony Martin is not a very confident person.

[@Perfectcheeseberger]

I wouldn’t say he isn’t confident, it’s more or less he doesn’t know what the future holds. Nobody does.

[@KA-jm2cz]

cute nose

[@Major_Rager_]

VALHALLA OF SABBATHs TYR ALBUM IS ONE OF , IFNOT MY #1 FAV OF MARTIN ERA SABBATH TUNES, CHRIST TONY ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE DIO ON THIS TRACK...

[@brenobutcher]

Anyone who doesn't appreciate Black Sabbath with Tony Martin is a poser.

[@Greenmanalishe1]

I love tony the most versatile singer of the sabbath eras

[@Perfectcheeseberger]

Amen bro. He’s definitely the third pillar of sabbath.

[@ZRATAN69]

Nobody tells cozy how to play drums.???

[@ZRATAN69]
