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.
Yes RIP Cozy Powell- he was one of Rock's greatest drummers- ever. He died (I believe) in a motorcycle accident near the place we called home away from home and still do in England- Bristol.
Finally the music video in perfect quality and in the album key tone, Im so glad the Tony Martin era is getting some love nowadays, he was criminally ignore for decades. The Headless Cross is one of Sabbath's finest albums without a doubt.
Yeah, it was a continuation of the direction that started with Dio, but in a different way with more atmospheric stuff and story-driven lyrics. Definitely some of the more awesome albums by them.
I would love to hear you collaborate with Tony Martin again. Cross Purposes is my favorite sabbath album and I would love another Iommi ‘Fused’ like you did with Glenn.
1995. I was 6. A co worker of my dad gave us an old hifi and a bunch of cassettes. Among them: Headless Cross. That's the day I discover Black Sabbath, what heavy metal was, and that's also the day I entered in the metal family, and never left since ^^ Thanks for the memories Mr.Iommi.
@@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!
@@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... ;)
So much awesome music from this era finally getting the attention it deserves! Cozy Powel was such a beast behind the drum kit. Thanks Sir Tony Iommi, you Rock! 🖤🤘🖤
Gotta love the fact that "Headless Cross" is a real place and location in the UK. Some history/local lore associated with it, which inspired the lyrics in this song.
I'm so glad that the Martin-era of Sabbath is getting the recognition it always deserves. Some of the greatest material you ever recorded was during that period, Tony!
Hopefully we'll be seeing more Martin era videos in glorious HD such as The Shining, Feels Good to Me and The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. God I love the Martin era, Headless Cross is my fav Black Sabbath album of all time.
One of the best songs of the legendary band!I was 15 years old when Headless Cross was released...now i am 50 years old!Still listening to this masterpiece!
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.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Geoff Nicholl's work in the whole song? It really adds the flavor to what the song needed. He always stayed loyal to Iommi until the end. Thanks, Geoff. R.I.P legend and Cozy.
"Geoff was a real true friend and supported me all the way for nearly forty years," said Tony Iommi. "I will miss him dearly and he will live in my heart until we meet again."
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.
@@mikemike3886 Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler have retired from touring without touring to promote a new band no real money could be made. Tony Iommi and Ozzy Osborne are fifty fifty owners of the name Black Sabbath it takes 3 original members to participate in the band to be called Black Sabbath.
The most underrated album in Black Sabbath's entire discography. In terms of power metal and melody, it reminds me a bit of "Haven and Hell", although the horror atmosphere is more noticeable.
Headless Cross is an Evolved Incarnation of Black Sabbath to suit the Changes in Time of Music. Tony Martin did his best , represented and delivered. RESPECT !!!
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 Book of Sabbath has many chapters and the cat era deserves some recognition. And the Headless Cross with songs like When death calls is a dam fine album. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@markbirchette8740I dont think you noticed the SPELLING ERROR brother. Go back and look at what I posted and what you posted. Is Tony an alien of some sort. Do you see the differance?
It's curious that Tony Martin auditioned for Candlemass and recorded a demo with them (Witches) and then Tony Iommi played the solo in the Candlemass song Astorolus.
This song is literally my first memory of a song ever. I was born in 89 (when the album was released) and I still remember putting the record to play, siting down on the floor and just listen to it. I guess I was probably 5yo back then. I had no idea what heavy metal was, or what Black Sabbath was.....or even Ozzy or Tony Iommi / Martin. This was literally the album that introduced me to metal without me even knowing. I still own that record by the way (was my father's)
No joke, we share exactly the same story man. Born in 89, I discovered Black Sabbath when I was 6 in 1995, on the cassette of Headless Cross. I embraced the metal family that day ^^
TM's theatrical mannerisms are on full display in this vid. Guy was a great addition to the band and brought in something new & fresh. An excellent frontman overall.
Headless Cross is so underrated. One of Black Sabbath's greatest albums.
Love that pfp. Hail Elric 🤘
Easy now
My three fave Sabbath albums with Tony Martin are "The Eternal Idol", "Headless Cross" and "Tyr".
Think I might have to get this album out again great track and album
Tyr is up there as well....both superb albums.
It is criminal how underrated this era of Black Sabbath was. The two Tony’s released some of the greatest albums of the 80’s.
what are the album names? I just heard this song for the first time and I'm hooked

He's their worst vocalist. It's kind of funny
This is a classic. I don't care what Sharon's babies tell me. Long live Tony Iommi
Who is Sharon you are talking about?
Amen
Tony Martin, one of the best vocalists
Yes absolutely incredible
He certainly is a great vocalist. Wonder what he is doing now.
THE BEST!!!
That's not Ozzy... oh it's Tony he was pretty good.
@@JSharpe427Tony Martin Thornes solo album
Criminally underrated
Cozy with Tony is magic.
I'm convinced that this is the best song ever in 2024
And 2025
The riff is monstrously heavy.
It makes me feel as though I am running next to the Devil.
- How many times have you watched this?
- Yes.
Милион!!!
Осъмвали сме с тези великани!!!!!!
a lot! awesome song and awesome video too!
Купил в 89 году и заездил до дыр .и сейчас слушаю. До конца жизни буду слушать....
how many times have i thrashed it on the turn table ? yes i have the vinyl copy
Я под такую музыку засыпаю каждый вечер уже более 15 лет
This Tony Martin is really good
このアルバム、1989年5月に入手して依頼の名盤！！
15年くらい前に、オジーのサバスしかしらなかった時に中古でこのアルバム見つけて「こんなのあった？」って思って聞いたら「ブラックサバスじゃなかったわ！」ってなったけど、今は1番好きなアルバム。
ヘブンアンドヘルも良いですよ！

This is heavy metal.

Heavy AOR at best
More like heavy glam

The Tony Martin era it's so amazing.
Very underrated. Tony Martin sounds great and Iommi shreds. Who doesnt want MORE Sabbath?!
Even God likes Black Sabbath
Tony Martin, my favourite Black Sabbath singer.
DIO.
mine too
Wait...what?
OZZY
Headless Cross, Tyr, and Eternal Idol are all bangers!!!
Cross Purposes and, yes, even Forbidden are underrated too. Can't wait to hear the remix of the latter.
It's so good to finally see this era being revisited!
I really hope the albums will be remastered and end up on spotify sometime. I think I heard about it years ago but nothing happend, until now!
@@_fremdkoerper they actually announced yesterday that a box set of the albums remastered will be releasing May 31st!
Yeah at long last!

Surprised at how good this song is
That drum intro is living rent free in my head, so iconic!
That riff as well no doubt.
@@cuttlefisch Hell yes!
Cozy Powell!
Similar to Manowar's "Warriors of the World"
Finally. My favorite era of Black Sabbath.
Yeah, it was a continuation of the direction that started with Dio, but in a different way with more atmospheric stuff and story-driven lyrics. Definitely some of the more awesome albums by them.
When the Tony Martin box set is finally released, I'll get it the same day !
Yeah te same feeling
Mine too.
Early 70s is the best. But this era is a close second. Dio is third place. Imho
Probably the best singer ever. Def my top 5!!!
This song is god tier.
Believe it or not this is my favorite album along with Heaven and Hell. I love this kind of production and performing of the late 80s early 90s.
Cozy Powell's drumming on this album...one of my biggest inspirations 🤘
Headless Cross, Eternal Idol, Tyr. All of them, masterpieces, even Cross Purposes had its moments... The Tony Martin era was amazingly underrated.
I wore Tyr out! Rare to talk to anyone that even knows that record exists. Way way underrated!
totally agreed. but Tony can't do live.
Cross Purposes had some stingers of songs.. that riff during The Hand That Rocks The Cradle is pure metal goodness.
Worst era of sabbath , should have changed the name to Not Black Sabbath 😂 thats why it's not highly rated... its not black sabbath its just not....🤣
Even Forbidden got some amazing tracks
The Best Tony Martin album
Today Headless Cross ranks in the UK. Justice is finally done
Yeah!
Yeah!!!!!!!
I would love to hear you collaborate with Tony Martin again. Cross Purposes is my favorite sabbath album and I would love another Iommi ‘Fused’ like you did with Glenn.
I have waited a long time for this, but better late than never, right? Tony Martin deserves more recognition for his work w/ BS!

Everyone plays better when the vocalist is so good. Powell enjoying it too.
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.

When Sabbath finally had a great singer after Dio. Kudos for Tony. I saw them at this tour. Was a great gig
Thanks, Tony for decades of epic music. Seriously.
Great album great band incredible singer
classic song, will be one of their best forever. I love black martin (or tony sabbath) - evergreen records. RIP the GOAT drummer, COZY
