I'm not a very good analyst of drum play, but I think there is something interesting going on here. During the verses it sounds just like Appice is playing but when the chorus comes it sounds like Good Ol' Bill. The cymbal crashing gives it away. Bill is a lot jazzier than Vinny. I like both of them. Bill's sound on the debut album and Vinny's sound on Mob Rules are both gangbusters in my book.
Good Lord, why was this song not bigger? I nearly shit myself, when I heard this! Being a huge sabbath fan, had never heard it! Metal anthem! Bill ward is a incredible drummer, but he playing with Toni, now that was somthing special! Like John Bonham and Jimmy Page! Poetry with out words!
This album is just named Iommi and the art I used is the album cover. Every song is a different vocalist with Tony Iommi on the guitar. It came out in 2000. There are other videos on RU-vid now you can find that have the whole album uploaded.
It's funny and a bit ironic that his first official solo album sounds more like Sabbath than any of the Martin era albums. There's some great music on those albums, but this is different.
I couldn't agree more, IDK how they could end Black Sabbath without Bill and be okay with it. They blamed it on his health and Bill said it was because they wouldn't give him a signable contract. I lost a lot of respect for Tony Geezer and Oz because of it. Not that they could care what I think or feel. I've only been a Black Sabbath fan since about 1972 or 73 ! I also think 13 is horrible and nothing I ever care to listen to!
@@aschule5684 “whos fooling who” on “iommi” was the closest we got to it and somehow bill played on it and geezer didnt! the song has that magic. bill ward is a safe cracker with the light touch.. he finds that feel and adds so much orchestration to the musical movements. my favorite drummer by far,…. most underrated.
This is a solo album from Tony Iommi under the name Iommi. Every song has different guests. This is the only one on the album that has Ozzy and Bill Ward. Geezer is not on the track.
Damn that's interesting. "God Is Dead" begins slow paced with a line saying "Is this the end of the beginning?", in this one, 13 years prior, it starts out with a slow pace and a line saying "Is the end beginning?". I wonder if they had a conversation about this song before doing "God Is Dead".
