Imo I think Headless Cross would have been a commercial success if they called themselves something else and not Black Sabbath. Tony Martin had the perfect voice for that era.

Love the Martin Era of Black Sabbath, all Great Albums. Interesting fact about this video at the time Black Sabbath had no bass player so they grabbed a guy off the street and paid him to play in the video
Tony Martin is easily the most underrated vocalist in the history of Black Sabbath, despite having been on more albums than Dio (only Ozzy recorded more albums with the band). I would recommend the songs "Headless Cross," "Valhalla," and "Anno Mundi" for more of the Tony Martin era. Black Sabbath had several incredible vocalists besides Ozzy and Dio. Two more singers who each appeared briefly in Black Sabbath are Ian Gillan and Glenn Hughes (both formerly of Deep Purple). There were also something like 5 or 6 vocalists that did demo versions of the album the "The Shining" is taken from, in addition to vocalist Ray Gillen (most notably of the band Badlands) who recorded the entire album before leaving the band prior to its release (Tony Martin eventually was chosen as his replacement.) God bless!!
The original vocalist for this song and the rest of the album, "Eternal Idol", is Ray Gillen. Tony Martin rerecorded the vocals after Ray was let go. Some years later there was a release of the album with the orginal vocalist Ray Gillen, probably best known as the singer for Badlands.
Tony Martin was excellent in Sabbath. Also Ronnie James Dio and Ian Gillan have sung with Sabbath. Also Glenn Hughes on Seventh Star which was a Tony Iommi solo album marketed as a Sabbath album by the record company
When Black Sabbath started the recording the bass player was Dave Spitz and the drummer was Eric Singer. Actually the bass on the album were done by Bob Daisley. According to Daisley Ray Gillen were struggling with the lyrics and the management didn't pay him or the rest of the band so Gillen left. Tony Martin then joined as the vocalist. Singer left just after the recordings to join Gary Moore's touring band alongside Bob Daisley. After the recordings Dave Spitz returned with drummer Bev Bevan (ELO). They left again after they were booked to play South Africa because of apartheid. On the tour the bass was played by keyboard player Geoff Nicholls before they hired Jo Burt. In this video the drums are played by Terry Chimes (The Clash, Hanoi Rocks, Cherry Bombz a.o) and a guy that according to singer Tony Martin was dragged of the street to pose as a bass player. They never saw him again. In 2010 the album was released as a deluxe edition. Disc 2 had the original recordings by Ray Gillen. If you want to see something with Ray Gillen live. Search RUclips for Black Sabbath Ray Gillen Live. There are something from 1986
I think Dave Spitz and Eric Singer joining the band helped split up Tony Iommi and Lita Ford as she'd "lent" him Dave and Eric from her band to get this album recorded and the original Ray Gillen tour of the Eternal Idol and they ended up wanting to carry on with Sabbath.
The IRS years are with Tony Martin as singer. The bunch of albums from "Headless Cross" (1989) and "Forbidden" (1995) will be released this year completely remastered. This song is from "The Eternal Idol" (1987) which isn't involved in the re-release-box. Another great tune from this record is the title track "The Eternal Idol". Try it out.
What a wonderful surprise to see you guys take on modern Black Sabbath with the amazing Tony Martin on vocals. Can't wait to see you guys rocking to it. It's an awesome song
Yeah, Tony Martin era is all but ignored by reactors, which is a shame, he was on more albums of theirs than any others lead vocalist they had other than Ozzy. When they were at their best with Tony they could bring it, for me the entire Tyr album is a killer, try Valhalla from it for a great banger. Iommi is always the king of riffs no matter who is singing for him. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
This came off "The Eternal Idol" in 1987. Tony Martin sang with Sabbath from 1987-1990 and again from 1993-97. He has guested on a lot of albums, and is still active as a solo performer. His most recent release "Thorns" is solid, but for his prime, I'd say listen to Sabbath's "Headless Cross" or "Tyr" albums to see what he could do. He recorded the vocals for "The Eternal Idol" in a week, basically copying previous singer Ray Gillen's vocal lines, so the album could finally be released. For the film clip, the bassist was literally brought in off the street to mime Bob Daisley's parts, and the drummer is Terry Chimes, best known for his work with The Clash. The drums on the original song were by Eric Singer, who is best known for his work with Alice Cooper and Kiss. Guitars by Tony Iommi, and keyboards by Geoff Nicholls, the only two constant members of Sabbath from 1979-2004.
Ronnie James Dio was a second Black Sabbath’s singer, I can’t believe you didn’t know that. The irony is that Ozzy was the worst Black Sabbath’s singer, but with Ozzy on vocals they had most success, with Ozzy on vocals it was the golden era of Black Sabbath.
The one constant always is the great lead guitarist and song writer, Tony Iommi (eye-OWE-me). First came Ozzy, then Dio, then Gillan (from Deep Purple), then here, Tony Martin.
Nice review. Off this same album the last song Eternal Idol is super heavy. Only drawback is that it is one of the most depressing songs ever. But I love it since the day it was released.
Great number from Tony Martin but you should also check out the Ray Gillen recording on the original Eternal Idol album recordings before Tony came in and re-recorded the vocals. I loved seeing both Ozzy and Dio live with Sabbath but Tony Martin was in fact my fav live Sabbath singer because he could sing across all eras of their content.
5:00 I will..YES Toni Martin IS a better singer then Ozzy, Tomi can sing Ozzy songs effordlessly, Ozzy can't sing Toni songs.. Toni can sing also Dio songs regardless.. The usa have been deprived of Toni Martin era Black Sabbath albums thnks to Ozzy manegement ( sharon ). black Sabbath had also Ian gillan of Deep Purple as singer for one album and tour in 1984, and Glen Hughes in 1985. Ray Gillen hav also been singer
Best singer Black Sabbath had, technically.. he could do an "Ozzy"and a "Dio" And kept his own aswell.. sung songs no one of the previous one sung.. Dio was in Black Sabbath 3 times, Ozzy two times, no one dared touch Toni Martin songs.. Headless Cross 1989 album, just as a monolith that Heaven and Hell is, only thing..Sharon as manager of Ozzy ( holding half of Black Sabbath's rights) prevented the Toni Martin era albums to be released in the USA.... Bron Again album was with Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan, their "Marmite"album..you love it, or you hate it.. Ozzy ISN"T Black Sabbath... ..neiher is Ian Gillan, Ray Gillen, Glen Hughes or Ronnie James Dio........Toni Iommi is
Tony was my fav Sabbath singer to see live for that very reason that he could sing across all eras. Dio was amazing too. He could sing anything. Listen to some of his 1960s pop numbers.
Para cuando mas reacciones a temas de sabbath con tony martin???anno mundi.headless cross.when death calls???the hands that rocks the creadle....etc etc
Ozzy isn't Black Sabbath.. ( he joined last) neither is Ronnie James Dio, or Ian Gillan 9 yes, Deep Purple) or Toni Martin ... Toni Iommi IS, he was the only one featured on EVERY album, HE IS !!
Although it was Ozzy that placed the original advert for band members which Tony/Bill responded to but Iommi I think was the most creative and put in the most effort on all their recordings.
IMO it’s not about whether the other vocalist’s have great voices or not for most people including myself it’s not Black Sabbath without Ozzy. I like this guy’s voice and I love Dio but its still not Sabbath without Ozzy. Don’t yell at me people 🫣 it’s just my opinion 😊
Bon… c’est pour QUAND💤OZZY, NO, NO please👎🏿I’m like this song🤷🏻♀️TONY interprétation 👍🏿♥️ RAY interprétation 👍🏿👍🏿♥️♥️👩🏼🦰but excellent Tony🤷🏻♀️Headless Cross🙏always and always listen Him💋
Tony Martin has a fantastic voice a lot on the Dio side, completely underrated and unknown, the song "When Death Calls" is far superior to this one but I guess you will never listen to it so who cares🎸🎵
@@philspilsbury66 in 79 I think they supported led zep at led zep Farwell concert Knebworth park. my back yard I was only 15. Sabbath maybe possible it was Bury St Edmonds cant remember but I was at both.
@@diorocks5858 I was 13 in 1979. The first time I saw them live was in 1989 on the Headless Cross Tour. They opened the tour here in Birmingham but in the pre-internet age it was easy to miss adverts for tours so we ended up driving up to Sheffield. Great show but a half empty hall. Saw them on all UK tours after that up to the final two shows back here in Birmingham. The original four remain the classic Sabbath but so many great people were in and out of that band.
@@philspilsbury66 Thats Dio wow headless cross. My favorite band always. You have lived my friend. I went to Bowie Milton Keynes I think white snake were supporting.
@@diorocks5858 Dio I loved but to be honest live I preferred him in his own band as he'd perform Dio, Sabbath and Rainbow songs. I saw Dio live with Sabbath in 1992 when he re-joined and the later "Heaven and Hell" tours but gutted when he passed as he'd scheduled a solo Dio tour.
Awesome song! Tony Martin-era Sabbath is so underrated, it deserves way more love. "Headless Cross" is actually one of my fave Sabbath albums.
Imo I think Headless Cross would have been a commercial success if they called themselves something else and not Black Sabbath. Tony Martin had the perfect voice for that era.

I am still listening to that song 35 years later. For me its the ultimate metal song.
Tony Martin 👍👍👍
They choosed the single edition... First mistake to appreciate this masterpiece

Tony Martin era is criminally underestimated Headless Cross,Anno Mundi & Cross Of Thorns are. Classic Sabbath songs.

Tony Martin and Roni James Dio are the best vocalists that were on Black Sabbath in my opinion

Dio and Tony Martin my 2 favorite singers for Sabbath
try jerusalen whit tony great line
Have you tried on any Dio era Sabbath?? You must....Children of The Sea
Very good
It was Ozzy Osbourne DIO Ian Gillan Glen Hughes Ray Gillen Tony Martin and Rob Halford on vocals for the band.
and David Donato and Ron Keel....!!
@@antoniocarlin5026 and nearly Michael Bolton
So happy yall did this
Black Sabbath has been SEVEN singers (I think) Including Rob Halford from Judas Priest on two times! My all favs Dio and Tony Martin....!
Ozzy, Gillan, Dio, Martin y Haldfor
Ronnie James Dio was a second Black Sabbath’s singer, I can’t believe you didn’t know that. The irony is that Ozzy was the worst Black Sabbath’s singer, but with Ozzy on vocals they had most success, with Ozzy on vocals it was the golden era of Black Sabbath.
Try react to songs by Bruce Dickinson - Tattooed Millionaire or Born in 58 they sound like melodic hard rock with metal.
Tony Martin is one of the most incredible singers in metal history. And VERY SOLID reminder that Ozzy couldn't sing his way out of a wet paper bag.
The one constant always is the great lead guitarist and song writer, Tony Iommi (eye-OWE-me). First came Ozzy, then Dio, then Gillan (from Deep Purple), then here, Tony Martin.
Tony Martin era BEST ERA. Headless Cross best Sabbath album
Nice review. Off this same album the last song Eternal Idol is super heavy. Only drawback is that it is one of the most depressing songs ever. But I love it since the day it was released.

Just discovered this song and it's so good

Ranking, 1. Dio 2. Tony Martin 3. Ozzy 4. Gillan and the rest here on Gilligan's Island.
How could you have not heard the Black Sabbath hell and mob rules albums with Dio????!!!!

hey my channel in tecnic ozzy is the 4 ok? dio, ian, martin, ozzy hey domain
oh mygod how greatr Tony Martin was with Blacjk sabbath.. one of te most unappreciated peeps anywhere anbytime :D
Why should he worry for his life if you was Danny Torrence ? Danny didn’t hurt anyone in that movie
It's not one of the strongest Martin's songs. You need to listen "Eternal Idol" or "Nightmare".
IMO it’s not about whether the other vocalist’s have great voices or not for most people including myself it’s not Black Sabbath without Ozzy. I like this guy’s voice and I love Dio but its still not Sabbath without Ozzy. Don’t yell at me people 🫣 it’s just my opinion 😊

It is not the full song, made shorter, shouldn't have done that.
Tony Martin has a fantastic voice a lot on the Dio side, completely underrated and unknown, the song "When Death Calls" is far superior to this one but I guess you will never listen to it so who cares🎸🎵
Black Sabbath is not Black Sabbath without Ozzy
Oh Martin the best singer ever but terrible stage presence compared to dio and ozzy
Not sure. I saw Ozzy live over a 30 odd year period and he'd just walk backwards and forwards across the stage.
