Do you want to sell it? Or trade it? My copy disappeared under
mysterious circumstances last summer and I haven't got around to
replacing it. Let me know...
While I like the album (especially the prog-metal side 2), I must
admit to laughing like hell at Raddion's post!

experience at Ozzfest last June, I can't rule out blowing up any of the post
'79 stuff. In fact, now that you mention it, I have been wondering what to do
with this crap since I removed it from my Sabbath collection, which has
survived quite nicely thank you!
So I will blow them up, one at a time, even the ones I like! Ugh!
By the way, can anyone guess Raddion's favorite non-Ozzy Sabbath album? I will
send the first person who guesses correctly a killer Dio-Sabbath video bootleg,
just GUESS MY FAVORITE NON-OZZY SABBATH ALBUM (before my vow of Sabbathacy).

Nope. For me, it has nothing to do with what the band is
calling itself. I wanted to like TYR, but damn if I couldn't squeeze
a single track out of it. At least Forbidden had "Can't Get Close

Heaven in Black, Valhalla, man, what do people want? HEaven in Black is a

"not a single track".

UUUuaaaarrrggh! That's about the worst song on Forbidden. "Kiss of Death", the
masterpiece of that album blows it away, so does Illusion of Power, Get A Grip,

*Headless Chickens* er *...Cross* is the worst one IMO. All that
devil/satan/murder/ghost/banshee/vampire stuff got a bit much. it
would have been better if I'd have re-written the words...much less
stooooooopid <grin>... though I can write stupid stuff too. I just
don't have a recording contract so I can share my stupidity with the
whole world! I quite like *Eternal Idol*, though quite a bit of it sort
of sounds like Tony had been checking out the harder-edged songs
from the last 3-4 Kansas albums before Livgren went AWOL into
the Xian music camp. *The Shining*, anyone?

*Heaven In Black* is a godzilla of a song! *Valhalla* is great too,
IMO, though I can see exactly what Gary's getting at with his

I'm with you on this JC. You can still get this at *Best Buy* for $5.99
a copy on cut-out. My son Trevor loves the cover! Again, I'll say that
if this stuff was named *The Tony Iommi Project* or *Tony Iommi's

A double bill? And you had to sit through that?!? Oh how I truly pitty
thee! Hopefully they put the barf bags on the backs of seats like in
airplanes.
I might as well share a similar story with everybody (and I'll try to keep
it short):
In 7th grade my family went to see Miami Sound Machine (though by then
called "Gloria Estevan & Miami Sound Machine"). This was in Boston. A
local "band" of 5 singers, singing over some pre-programmed music, opened
up for them. They said it was their first real concert (i.e. a "concert"
amount of people). Nobody knew who they were at the time.
However, that opening band became famous within a year or two.
Years after that Miami Sound Machine conert, my father informed who that
now-famous opening band was.
It was New Kids on the Block.
So I, Bill M., the die-hard Sabbath fan, saw the very first New Kids on
the Block conert.
True story. Why on earth would I lie about such a thing?
Supernaut
you of that un-needed baggage ;)Now that SDM has us recalling "the worst
concert i had to sit through" heres my sad tale.The year was 1986 and
there was this girl I really wanted to get with.She called me up and
asked me If i`d like to go to a concert,I said sure! I asked what
concert and she said it was a surprise(and boy was it.)WEll I went over
to her house to pick her up,and was informed that her parents would be
driving us to the show(this struck me as kinda odd,but you`ll get the
picutre)Well to make a long story short and a painfull memory end,When
we pulled up outside the venue the marquee read "TONIGHT STRYPER and
special sermon by Pastor Scott Furman" to top it all off her parents
were going to the concert with us.THAT WAS ONE LONG NIGHT! the ride home
even longer.
Peace to thee brethern

Say it ain't so! Not The Nuge?! Jesus-god, he was the Babe Ruth of
the chunka-chunka riff for damn near a decade. Damn Yankees, sure.
So worthy of scorn and disdain it's sad (Night Ranger and Styxx
members with the Nuge?). The Nuge was America's guitar maestro.

The worst ever? I don't get that at all. The Shining? Ancient
Warrior? Those two tracks alone are drenched in enough Iommi krunch
to make it worth the price of the album. It seemed to be the last
truly strong album they did. But then again, this is coming from the
perspective of someone who thinks, hands down and pound for pound,
Never Say Die is the best album they ever did.

I'm listening to it right now, trying to get a better grip on
it. While I don't find it to be unlistenable, I like Martin's
voice, he was great live in 94 when I saw them. But man, this
material is not even beginning to blow me away at all. The first
track has such a "Children of The Sea" intro going, I can't believe
Tony didn't see how similiar it was...anyway, the rest of the album
seems like it was put together by record company weenies. It just
sounds way too connect-the-dots. "Feels Good To Me" sounds like it
could have been a .38 Special song, maybe Kansas, or even a Lou Gramm
solo album <in my best Homer Simpson mental voice-Uuummmm, AOR>.
Honestly, I'd never get rid of it. Maybe it'll grow on me, 7th Star
did.
As far as one single track? Has to be Valhalla. Heaven In
Black? Nope, don't dig it.

Rusty Angels has its moments, especially in the middle where
Iommi leads over that powerful rythym part and takes right the fuck
off. But Can't Get Close Enough is classic Iommi riffage:
Pulverising. Martin's voice and locution are excellent on this
track. The cat can sing. The track itself, is so great. Slowly
building before the hammer falls. I think the riff is the strongest
since Dirty Women in pure stomp. Illusion Of Power, although
possessing a nice beginning, seemed like a leftover from TYR- too
conventional and kinda hokey. And Ice-T, god bless his rockin'
heart, didn't do much for it either. Kiss Of Death didn't kill me,
nor thrill me. Get A Grip is alright.
All in all, both albums seem to be two pretty mediocre
offerings. Forbidden being the better of the two.

Why would a true Sabbath fan blow up any album?
Are we recreating the Beatles era, bon fire days?
Sabbath started it all. Mark I was the Ozzy days
It set a new path for all Hard Rock/Metal bands to follow.
It opened new & doors so we may all enjoy!!!
They lost Ozzy...Get over it & move on & learn to
appreciate all of what Black Sabbath have to offer
regardless of who is singing, playing, drums, etc.
I believe we should be supportive & appreciate
all that Black Sabbath have to offer.
Criticize, debate & opinions are great & what make
this NG the best. But the use of EXPLOSIVES (even
pretend ones!!!) may be a bit over the edge!!!
The above is my opinion on this subject. I love all of
the Sabbath albums, some more than others. Big
disappointment with FORBIDDEN, but anxiously
await the (seems to be a decade in making) new
Tony Iommi solo project. I bet that the record execs
make him call this one Black Sabbath too. Maybe
'7th Star II' by Black Sabbath featuring Tony Iommi.

for christ.The wore yellow and black stripped spandex and had the big
hair and eye shadow.Now I have nothing against using religeon in
music,but thse guys were just faking it.not only was the music so
predeictable,boring,and utterly horrible,A friend of mine worked for
there record company and said that when he went to parties ther was
stryper sucking down the booze,smoking the "herbal rememdies",doing the
face flour,and taking the ocaisonal "Dirty Woman" back to the hotel
room.I dont have a problem with that but they would do interveiws and
say how they were so into the lord,and critisise other bands for being
partiers and sinners.Thats where I had the problem.

I'd love to see the look on Tony's face if he found out I blew up Tyr. He'd
probably laugh. I know Ozzy would. It was just a mischievous act on a winter
afternoon. Don't be so uptight, I worry about you! Besides, the sad truth is,
Tyr didn't deserve the spectacular finale. A simple toss into the trashcan
would have been more fitting. I'll bet if you asked Iommi to play a riff off of
Tyr, he would completely blank out. If Tyr isn't the worst, then what is?

shit. I kinda liked some of their songs though. I must admit, even though
glam rockers get a lot of bad rap, I still think some of their tunes are
pretty catchy. I bought a TNT record today for $.25 just to hear what
Ronnie Le Teckro had to offer and he was pretty good. However, the band
sucks some shit. It's just cheesy, really pathetic stuff. But the guy can
play. I also bought an MSG record for the same price to hear Schenker rip
it up and he does some ripping and the music just sucks a fatty. Now, both
these players are great musicians playing cheesy big hair metal and they
suck when it comes to playing good songs. There were some bands back in
the day like Stryper for example who could play some good cheesy metal big
hair crap and I mean that when I'm refering to it in the context of cheesy
big hair metal or hard rock. Believe me, I don't listen to this music
ever, but I can't say that it is completely devoid of any musicality. It's
more disappointing for me to see Schenker put out some cheesy crap with a
Glenn Hughes type voice wailing over some shitty song because he's such a
great player and I know he's so much better than that. When I hear Stryper
(which hasn't been for about ten years) and if I hear a good Stryper song,
I'll take it for what it's worth, and from what I remember it's a hell of
a lot better than that kind of bullshit that Schenker was putting out in
the mid-80's.

What album it was? "Written in the Sand"? I also considered to get it,
but if it sucks?? MSG first several albums were classics, esp.
"Assault Attack" with Bonnet...

RIght... While I wouldn't deny the fact that _some_ of that artists
had some signs of talent, and there were even good songs here and
where, it's not a kind of music I would like to listen at all. And to
hear some good artist turning to this genre, is a pity, like
Coverdale, for example... There were some good _real_ glam artists,
e.g. Slade, Sweet, sometimes even Queen, or even Nazareth. They all
were highly talented and made some superb albums. BTW I was on
Nazareth concert, 14th february, it was awesome show. Only pity is
abscence of Manny Charlton, some young gutarist with shaved head (!!)
was instead him.. :-(

Ozzy would laugh to see someone blowing Tyr?? Oh, surely. How about
Ozzy seen someone blowing "No rest for the wicked"? I doudt he will do
some happy grin watching it... :-)
It's kinda like old story of a discussion that one soviet journalist
had with american... (I guess it from early 80s)...
American: "USA is free country, for example I can just came near to
Whitehouse and shout 'Reagan is fool'!!! Can you do the same in
Russia"...
Soviet: "Why not, I also can go near the Kremlin and shout 'Reagan is
fool'."
:-) :-) Hope my translation is OK.
(BTW happy that times has gone for good).

When last time I tried to make a my own "Top" of BS albums, Tyr was
second after Dehumanizer. So opinions varies, aren't they. I also
bought videocassette of Crosspurposes live, and I almost don't
understand why everyone was so heavy about Martin's voice. He is
awesome performer, he know how to act on stage, his voice was strong
and reliable. But of course he wasn't as good on high notes, but I
guess nobody knew that because he altered each line with high notes to
the way that would be suitable to him... But BS with Ozzy did same
thing! So, in my opinion, why to expect BS on concert singing song in
exactly same way as in studio? It just would be not interesting to
watch the show. BEING on the show - maybe.
I agree with a poster who said that most problems Martin had with his
own songs... But he did very impressive versions of "I witness", "Anno
Mundi" (although I expect they did that nice choruses part in the
beginning), etc, etc... His singing Dio tunes is also very good. I
surprise that he hadn't use his lower range in studio more than he
had. It sounded very powerful on that tape. Maybe there was kind of
"Gillen's curse" - Gillen did vocal parties with high voice and Martin
had to follow him... And on next albums, everyone expected him to hit
high notes again. But why the hell any singer need to hit high notes?
Is it a sing of vocal qualities? In more modern metal music, there are
a lot of singers who surely can scream through whole album like
someone squeezed <snip>, but their voice doesn't have a small bit of
emotions that every BS singer past and present can show...
More about CPlive, it's also great thing to see Iommi and Geezer
playing together, it's a pleasure to see it... Maybe Tony Martin looks
a but "usual" for being BS frontman... Maybe...

Certainly you have not suffered the absolute boringness

Yeah... The Nuge got it... Only Cat Scratch Fever though for reasons being
very, very, dopey lyrics plopped on top of really, really, good riffs...
Otherwise, the guy is a rock-god.
Hey, how come no-one's started an Iommi vs The Nuge thread?

Then you can help SDM pick up them there .303 shells in the pick up truck.
:-) Personally, whenever I blow something up (and I have, but not a
Sabbath tape) I prefer something other than a firecracker, like C4, DM 12,
or RDX. I know, I know, there are the TNT, and Dynamite lovers, but
personally I'm a Plastique man. Oh Oh, I hope I haven't started a
plastique vs TNT thread!
