[@Thomasmemoryscentral]

@@JensAndree 😔 at least Martin is having some spotlight since the original release. This upload introduced me to Tony Martin the date of this video upload!

[@JensAndree]

@@Thomasmemoryscentral I'm really glad you found this awesome episode of Black Sabbath! I love the original lineup with Ozzy, and Dio brought his own element into the mix. Born Again with Ian Gillan is one of my favourites because it created a fantastic album out of two worlds! If you haven't listened to Born Again do so!!! The total lineup change when Tony Martin came in was a smash hit here in Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia, but there were zero marketing apart from MTV... sigh. Should've been a much greater episode if it had been marketed, like they say in the video here... And later when Ozzy came back and they reunited (apart from Bill Ward sadly) the Tony Martin era was kept hidden by forces (read; Sharon Osborne...) but finally Tony & co are able/allowed to re-release the albums - and I WISH do a couple one off gigs?! Headless Cross is such an awesome track - and with phenomenal drums by the one and only Cozy Powell!!! (R.I.P.) There's something excellent from all the different episodes of Black Sabbath and arguing who's better etc is pointless because they're all different and that's the great thing about them all! Rock on dude and have an awesome day!!! 🤘😁🤘 p.s. Even Rob Halford fronted Black Sabbath back in 1992 when Dio refused to play on the same venue as Ozzy... Interesting but perhaps more of a footnote... ;)

[@metalcore7485]

Wow what can I say, Tony a hell of a voice, Cozy what a drummer and we all know by now about THE master of riffs. It happened in a time when Metal was in complete transformation but somehow has been forgotten but is so well done and M. Iommi kept B.S. alive and did it so well. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Sorry for my English I am french Canadian. So many emotions in my head and heart right now.

[@johnberry2597]

Tony Iommi looks chill and just killing it

Especially since how unstable Sabbath's lineup was for most of the eighties he finally had a reliable team. But sadly he quickly abandoned them for a Dio reunion that collapsed quickly.

We need a new album with Tony Martin again!

[@capnkaba]

That’s actually what sparked this current resurgence of the Tony Martin content: the fact that they _can’t_ do a new album. At least under the Sabbath name. According to Tony Martin, he and Tony Iommi actually did discuss the possibility of recording some new songs and rereleasing the original Martin albums, similar to what they had done with Dio. However, as it turns out, there’s apparently an agreement that any *new* music created under the Sabbath name can only include the original 4 members. They can, however, rerelease any Sabbath music with any lineup, which is why we’re getting a Tony Martin box set at the end of May.

[@mutate34]

be cool if they did something under a new name though who knows if Iommi has the energy@@capnkaba

They could always do what they did with Dio and create a “new” band.
