Not extended, but there are 2 sections where Iommi is left onstage by himself at the end of songs.

There's also a drum solo which is pretty cool.

Hey drum solo by alcoholic Bill. You can even tell he was an alcoholic by Technical Ecstacy because the drumming is nothing compared to the earlier stuff which is brilliant and VERY underrated. Also the drumming is really good on Born Again(if you can even hear it with all that crappy mixing).

Considering the size of Bills kit back in the early 70's, his drumming was incredible.

I came to the conclusion yesterday that Symptom of the Universe from the Past Lives album is the heaviest thing the Ozzy-era of Sabbath ever performed, its brilliant.

I just assumed it was always that heavy. I should really get Sabotage I can get it on vinyl too.

Has anyone heard Candlemass' Sabbath medley? It's great. If you post in the Candlemass thread, and put your email down, then I can send it to you. They do a great job.

What songs are played in the medly?

[quote=rippa32]What songs are played in the medly?[/quote]

It starts out with Symtom of the Universe, then it goes into Sweet Leaf, then Electric Funeral, then something else, then Black Sabbath.

Awesome, I can't get it though. Slow internet.

That sucks.

Oh yer it does.

Hey so whats everyone's favourite Tony Martin album?

Headless cross, slightely cheesy but still my favourite.

Alot of people i know think TYR is the best but i just cant get into it, theres nothing there to keep me interested

When I first got that album I listened to it from start to finish almost constantly, now this is something I don't usually do with albums, so its very special. But I hardly ever listen to it anymore and I really have no idea why. Although talking about it makes me want to hear it again lol.

[QUOTE=rippa32]Hey so whats everyone's favourite Tony Martin album?[/QUOTE]

TYR

Its one of my all-time favourite Sabbath albums aswell.

I might try and get hold of his new solo album soon..

Im listening to samples of it right now. So far it sounds great, better than what Ive heard of Fused and Ohmwork.

What does everyoen think of Black Sabbath's first album? I'm thinking about buying, but I don't really feel like buying anymore repetitive riff albums. I heard The Warning and it seems pretty cool. Is it an accurate representative of the rest of the songs on the CD?

I quite like Ohmwork, its grown on me recently.

I prefer Black Science though.

Anything Vol.4 and later for the Ozzy eras. Technical Ecstacy in particular is good for not having repetitive riffs.

Technical Ecstasy was the first Sabbath album I bought. I lent it ot my dad, and haven't got it back yet. Didn't really like it anyway.

Black Sabbath is my favourite sabbath album, i love the bluesy feel to it.

the most repetetive part of that album is NIB and song is great, the only let down i can think of is the title track its sooooooooooooooo boring until it picks up at the end

I used to think that about the title track as well and I know someone else who thinks that, but its really grown on me so I love the whole thing.

The title track is not boring, are you crazy?

It's probably the heaviest song ever.

Favroite Sabbath albums:

1. Paranoid
2. Heaven & Hell
3. Mob Rules
4. Black Sabbath
5. Live Evil

Why does Paranoid have to be number 1? Oh well its your opinion not mine. I love Heaven And Hell though.

Paranoid = most overrated Sabbath album ever. (IMO)

Heaven and Hell my fave, but then again I am a total Dio whore :D

And so you should be. In terms of talent and distinction hes up there with Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson. The only real difference is his range isnt as good but he more than makes up for it with sheer power.

Up there with rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson? thats two different ends of the scale you have there mate :p

[QUOTE=shadow_stalker]Up there with rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson? thats two different ends of the scale you have there mate :p[/QUOTE]
If that implies Bruce is better than Rob your balls have seen their final hours

No it implies that a half dead cat is better than rob halford

So there's a half-dead cat that's a better singer than Bruce?

/is unsurprised.

:D


I like BD's singing, and RB's incessant sreeching on later albums gets a tad wearing, but Halford's earlier output really showed his range and ability. Bruce wouldn't have matched it IMO

Yeah, me too. Dio owns all. :evil:

But I really like 'Paranoid,' I've listened to other Sabbath albums with Ozzy and they're not the same. But that's only my opinion.

Halford has a much larger range for sure, but I prefer Bruce, not because I think he is more talented I just prefer his voice, and I can understand the lyrics when he sings.

And to shadowstalker, yes I understand the differences in vocal ranges but that shouldnt really matter when comparing singers.

All down to personal preference i suppose, afterall i know someone that loves cannibal corpse vocalists even though i think they are balls

Hehe notice how the Cannibal Corpse vocalists are called vocalists and not singers, theres a good reason for that.

Well this thread is dying again, it does that alot and then flourishes for a while and then dies of again. So lets discuss, Tony Martin, ill start by mentioning the new solo album. Does anyone have it?

No. I don't own any Tony Martin stuff.


Why does his name so [I]not[/I] sound right for a metal singer?

It sounds like a cheesy crooner from the 60s

Apparently from a recent gig, he only played one song from his new album, with the rest being Sabbath songs, from all eras.

The songs I remember seeing from the review are The Law Maker, Odin's Court/The Battle of TYR/Valhalla medley, War Pigs, Children of the Sea, Paranoid, Headless Cross and The Eternal Idol.

Yeah I heard that too, it was just for the sake of touring and the tour of the album is coming later(I think). I've always thought he could do a very good job of Children Of The Sea, never actually heard him do it though.
