Tony Martin = one of the most underrated vocalists of all time ever.
Absolutely. This is a top 10 Sabbath track in my eyes
I agree. I like Dio better but Tony is amazing. This track is amazing.
The most. Period. Most people are unaware he exists and certainly have no idea he was a Sabbath vocalist even though he was the second longest running after Ozzy. Add to it the fact that the Tony Martin years have been entirely buried other than Eternal Idol which doesn't count as the songs were pretty much finished before he came on board.
The people who praise Ozzy's voice, even at its best, would shit themselves hearing this guy. Not to mention he was the only Sabbath vocalist willing and capable of tackling every major era of the band. Ozzy, Dio and himself.
@@j800r_aswellhe arrived in the band to re record the vocal parts of Ray Gillen for the eternal idol album. Ray gillen left the band during the recording sessions and Martin redid all the vocal parts in 8 days and went on tour.
On the Tyr tour he even sung songs from the Seventh Star album and even did duets with Ian Gillan on Smoke on the water occasionally.
He is a great singer
Tony was a fantastic vocalist. Almost the forgotten man. Try Headless Cross, Devil and Daughter and Feels Good To Me. Also Ian Gillan sang with Sabbath on the Born Again album
Tony Iommi and Brian May have been very good Friends for decades.
they are awesome together
Tony Martin had some really awesome tunes with them, try Headless Cross, Valhalla and Forgiven, all great tunes. Also, Cozy Powell was usually the killer drummer when Tony was in the band. You have much to learn about Black Sabbath, we enjoy the journey! Rock On! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
TM is the best kept secret in hard rock and metal - he deserves more recognition.
Iirc, the reason why none of the Tony Martin era stuff is on Spotify (yet) is because those albums were released by now-defunct "IRS Records" and Tony Iommi needs to get certain rights cleared up first. I absolutely love the album _TYR_ very underrated songs!
Sabbath did some of their very best work with Tony Martin, and they were awesome live as well. Dio ofter had issues with the timing on the Ozzy stuff, and Ozzy never sang the Dio stuff, but Tony did it all expertly.
EXACTLY! The material he does of both eras on "Cross Purposes Live" is excellent, apparently is only available on VHS too.
In fact Sabbath had 10 singers;
- Ozzy
- Dave Walker (Replaced Ozzy in 78, and Ozzy was brought back, thank God)
- Dio
- Ian Gillan ( yeah, the deep purple guy, he recorded one of the most darkest Sabbath album, it's called Born Again released in 1983)
- Dave Donato (He joined around 84, he recorded some demos, took some pictures with the band but Sabbath desbanded)
- Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple again, he joined the band to record Tony's solo album that was released by the name of Sabbath, it's called Seventh Star, released in 86)
- Ray Gillen (Joined after the first concerts of the Seventh Star tour, Glenn was bad and Ray joined, my fave Sabbath singer)
- Tony Martin (He joined when the band already had recorded the album The Eternal Idol, the album was recorded with Ray Gillen, but Ray left the band and Tony was brought in and rerecorded all the vovals)
- Rob Halford (he sang with the band during two or three concerts, two during the Dehumanizer tour replacing Dio and one in 2004 replacing Ozzy.)
The drummer on When Death Calls (The whole album Headless Cross) was Cozy Powell, from Rainbow. He also recorded Tyr (1991) and Forbidden (1995). During 83 to 96 Sabbath changed drummers and Bassists a lot.
Great singer, saw him with them back in 1990 a few times.
Tony Martin did some awesome stuff with them, try Headless Cross,
One of my all time favorite songs. Was fortunate enough to see Black Sabbath with Tony Martin live in Amsterdam. Beginning of the 90s with opening act Lynch Mob. Good old days.
The best metal voice ever
ya tony martin has a great voice!!!
Thanks for this awesome, thoughtful and very entertaining reaction, Nick! I loved it! As many Sabbath fans will tell you, Brian May and Tony Iommi have been really tight friends for decades, and have played many times together on each other's projects. Brian even gave the speech inducting Black Sabbath into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Iommi's request. So this song is a treat from several different angles. It has a great Tony Iommi riff, it features great epic singing by the VERY underrated Tony Martin, and it also gives us a glimpse of Brian May playing in a Black Sabbath song. I suspect Lex might enjoy this song as well.
You should react to black moon off the same album. It's my favorite off the headless cross album
I see a black moon rising, and it's calling out my name....
And don't even get me started on Nightwing! 😁
Another great reaction Nick. I saw Black Sabbath with Tony Martin many times. As well as with one of my favorite drummers, Cozy Powell. Black Sabbath also did an album with Glenn Hughes from Deep Purple (Seventh Star) and one with Ian Gillan also from Deep Purple (Born Again). I saw the band live with both of them also. I think you will like both of them.
Hey @jeffrey did you have the chance to see them with Ray? I wish I could watch them w/ Tony, especially on their Tyr tour...Cheers!
@@gnrnando88 The first show on the Seventh Star tour was here in Cleveland with Glenn Hughes. That’s when I saw them. Ray Gillen replaced him after a couple of shows, and that’s the only touring he did with Black Sabbath. So sadly no I never got to see them with Ray. That man had an incredible voice though. But I did get to see them many times with Tony Martin.
@@jeffreycook5186 Thanks for your reply. The opportunity to watch Sabbath with Glenn and Tony must have been amazing. I am a massive fan of Tony and Ray; they are great inspirations to me as a vocalist.
@@gnrnando88 It was amazing. I also saw them with Ozzy, Ronnie James Dio and Ian Gillan. They were all awesome in their own right.
@@jeffreycook5186 I can imagine. I've only seen DIO and Ozzy with their solo bands, and it was in the mid-2000s, as I was born in late 80s.
Yeah! Getting to know more of Sabbath history!
"Headless Cross" is an excellent album. Tony has a bit of Dio in his voice, but he does excellent versions of the Ozzy and Dio era songs live (see the videos from "Cross Purposes Live"). And Tony Iommi has a HEAVIER, chorus laden tone with his material too (though not as heavy as with *Ian Gillan* on "Born Again", probably their heaviest album). The next one, "TYR" is another excellent album with Tony Martin.
But this track, along with "Headless Cross", Nightwing", "Black Moon", and "Devil and Daughter" are really special, its a very solid album. Also the line-up features the late-GREAT drummer from Jeff Beck and Rainbow; "Cozy Powell" with that HUGE drum sound.
Martin also has an astounding and HEAVY album under his name, called "Thorns" that came out in January of 2022 as well.
- Hope to see you do more with Martin era Sabbath \m/.
Tony Martin-era Black Sabbath hits me hard. 😘
Sabbath also did a record with the singer from deep purple,Tony Martin is my secound favorite after Dio as a singer
Got to see " Sabbath" with Tony Martin in a nightclub 🤘 ... It was surreal to watch this huge band in a nightclub 🎶
Much of the Tony Martin era of Black Sabbath isn't available on streaming services, as most of his albums from 1989-1995 were issued originally on the now defunct IRS Records label. However, there is supposed to be a boxed set coming later this year of his era, which will probably also see streaming of his time in Sabbath available - and long overdue. Tony himself still is very busy in various projects, such as Mollo/Martin, and last year released his third solo album "Thorns", which shows he still retains his powerful voice.
And in an update to my post above, Rhino Records/BMG are due to release the IRS studio albums of Martin's era from 1989-95 in a box called Anno Domini 1989-1995. It will be released in May, and currently Spotify has "Headless Cross" (the title track of Sabbath's excellent 1989 album, of which "When Death Calls" is also from, and "Anno Mundi", which is the opening track of the band's 1990 album "Tyr" as preview tracks for this period.
Interesting pick, the Tony Martin era (late 80s to mid 90s) is often overlooked. i have to admit it's not my favourite phase of Black sabbath, but at the same time, some of it is really underrated. I have this album ('Headless Cross') on CD. It's a bit corny here and there, but I sometimes get back to it when in the mood for some 80s sounding hard rock/metal. 🙂
Muy grandes 💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Tony Martin is the best of the best 💎
Great song & a great Album!! I saw this tour in Detroit, pretty heavy...
An awesome Album. Headless Cross on Vinyl is on my wishlist. But it's hard to get in Germany for an affordable price.
Wow! I got my LP right after seeing the "Video" for Headless Cross on MTV :D Now have on both Lp and CD :D.
Hope you find a cheaper copy sooner than later :).
I paid $100 for mine when I finally got one last year.
Geoffrey Nichols sings his arse off too❤
This is one of about 3 videos on UA-cam, where the word "underrated" has a place. So often it is abused for singers that are very-well-rated. :) I wish we could have this whole album with a bit of a less mushy mix. Some days, I just love it, but I'd like to have it remastered in more of their next album's style ("Tyr").
Cozy Powell had such a hypnotizing way of immersing you into this piece of music. It kind of makes you grab onto something "ANYTHING" to keep you from getting blown away like a sudden 🌪️ tornado. The power and strength is unbelievable.
Ian Gillian with Sabbath
" Zero the Hero"
Mi tema favorito de "Headless Cross"!! Gran cantante TONY MARTIN,tuvo la mala suerte de llegar después de OZZY y DIO, pero muy buena voz!! Grabó varios discos con SABBATH y canta en un montón de proyectos con otros músicos,uno de ellos THE CAGE con DARÍO MOLLO, guitarrista italiano.
You won't find this on streaming services. The only way you're gonna get your hands on Headless Cross, Tyr, Cross Purposes and Forbidden albums are if you got lucky in a second hand record store or pirated them. They've been out of print for years and they've shown no real sign of ever releasing them again. You honestly couldn't be blamed for pirating them as nobody is missing out because they're not giving you any way of purchasing them legally. There is a rumour that they'll see a re-release this year at some point but I wouldn't hold my breath.
An interesting little easter egg for you. Brian May actually played the solo for this one. You may already be aware. This is being typed part way through.
You should definitely listen to anything off the Tyr album... Great stuff
The album is a masterpiece as are Eternal Idol, Tyr & Cross Purposes all of which boast Tony Martin at the helm. He's done some amazing work away from Sabbath and I feel he's one of our (England's) most underappreciated singers. His latest album, Thorns (2021), was superb. The more you hear of Martin the less he sounds like Dio and tbh, I actually think his work with Sabbath was even better than Dio's - listen to more of him, you won't regret it. Brian May actually worked with Tony Iommi when he was recording the late Ozzy era album, Technical Ecstasy - you can hear May's input on the proceedings. The pair are good friends and can be seen live on stage at the Freddie Mercury memorial gig in the early 1990's, they harmonise the main Heaven & Hell riffs - it's awesome.
I have one Black Sabbath album with Tony Martin, but somehow Black Sabbath just wasn't mine anymore ... the next album I bought was Black Sabbath 13... which was for me the Black Sabbath I expected and their only no1 album in Germany at the end of the career ... also saw them live on the tour .. so one less on the bucket list 🤘
Check out some of Tony Martin's solo stuff. His range, his voice - immense. I'll be really controversial and say I prefer him to Ronnie James Dio.
You’re not the only one prefering him to the great Dio !
I don't get the Dio comparisons - very very different voice
TBH I Love all Tony Era albums than Ozzy
You did a mistake listening to this. Youll end up like me only listening to tony martin stuff for 35 years.
James Hetfield isn’t even close to being on his level, James is closer to Lionel Richie
Era ozzy? :c
That’s Fake Sabbath.
Ozzy was the soul of Sabbath.
I won't cry for you is one awesome song.
Martin Era Black Sabbath is up to the Dio Era of Black Sabbath, both are excellent vocals and songs.
Ozzy comes in fourth in the line of singers
This sounds like Savatage Edge of thorns.
Hey Dude! I got a music suggestion that you could react to! you got an Instagram We Can Talk Through?
