Yes absolutely incredible

RIP Cozy Powell

When I heard this song on MTV 1989 I run to the record store and bought the single! What a song, what a production, what a video! I still worship the Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath

The riff is monstrously heavy.

Headless Cross is so underrated. One of Black Sabbath's greatest albums.

The Eternal Idol was reissued a couple of years ago. The Tony Martin albums apart from that one are being reissued in a boxset at the end of May 2024 so the rest of the discography will be easy to find and purchase. The Dio albums were never difficult to find, and I also bought Born Again and Seventh Star very easily. The issue with these Tony Martin albums were the record labels they came out on, particularly IRS for Headless Cross, Tyr, Forbidden and Cross Purposes. It went bust in 1996. That was the issue with the rights to these albums, nothing to do with Sharon Osbourne. She doesn't own the rights to the Black Sabbath name. If she did own the name, Black Sabbath would have continued with Ozzy fronting it and any backing musicians they wanted. It would not have continued with Iommi.

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.

I hate to admit this but I have a HUGE void in my collection. I didn't grow up listening to Black Sabbath. I only heard it if friends played it and it was only the Ozzy stuff. I definitely like that more than his solo stuff. Then I finally heard the "Heaven and Hell" album and was BLOWN AWAY! Then I found out that there were other singers and when I checked some of those songs out was even MORE blown away. I hate that I didn't get to enjoy these growing up but I at least get to enjoy these for the first time.

total nostalgia, I went back to the 80s ' 90s in the blink of an eye, Sabbath's best musical phase
