Black Sabbath Seventh Star Full Album Documentary Original 'In These Days Of Confusion 

This era of Sabbath always deserved a documentary for all its strange beginning and ending. The fans love the 7th Star album.

Great doc! And what an album for Tony, man I love his playing on it!

I think that concert footage with Glenn Hughes is from Public Hall in Cleveland. I was there! March 21st 1986. WASP was opening up for Sabbath in support of their Last Command album. I was a senior in high school. And I couldn't believe my parents allowed me to go to this concert on a date with my girlfriend at the time - Terri. My parents are very old school Catholic folks, so bands like Sabbath were not on their approval list. lol Needless to say, I love my parents, and this album sparks a memory of one of thee most important times of my life!

All due respect, it is very much incorrect to call this " not a Black Sabbath album" as various people do in this documentary, as it set the blueprint for all Sabbath albums with Tony Martin in the following years...and listen to Tony Iommi's guitar riffs, 100 % as heavy as ever.... 7th Star is more Sabbath than, say, Technical Ecstasy from the acclaimed Ozzy era.....I believe though that Glenn Hughes may have felt displaced at times, but he also did a great job on this album ....The comments on Eric Singer's drumming are nonsense, he is heavy as f.... on this and the Eternal Idol...

Love this documentary! I owned this album AND cassette when it came out. I loved Hughes vocals on that record. In retrospect, Tony should’ve hired Ray Gillen and stuck with him.

Eric Singer is awesome on this LP❤

Seventh Star featured the best bassist in the world Dave “The Beast” Spitz. Sabbath was very fortunate to convince The Beast to leave Great White to be a part of Sabbath.

All that cocaine tends to mess with your nose throat etc. Lol.

I actually really enjoyed this album

Now just need Born Again doc!

I was lucky enough to see Tony and Glenn reunited in 2011 at the Ronnie James Die tribute show at the London High Voltage festival. It was a very hot day and just before the band came on, the sky turned black and dark clouds rolled in. You couldn't make it up and I think it was Ronnie saying hello.

Loved the 5 albums with dio. Best singer and sabbath lineups ever!!!!!! Loved seventh star go see glen hughes live in 2024 he is killing it!!!!!

I'm a big fan of Keel and I'm so glad he wasn't in Sabbath. It just doesn't sound right.

The Fenholt demo (and the other with Geezer band) are still not officially reelased :(

ETraderMusic you are doing an excellent job of compiling these interview clips into a decent documentary, Thank You I fid these very interesting and enjoyable! 👍👍

Glenn is and was fantastic live. The tour supporting Seventh Star is the only live footage I have seen where he's really struggled live. I'm inclined to believe Glenn's story. No way in hell is Glenn a "studio singer".

The only real unanswered question from these pitiful Sabbath 'franchise' years is how many more people would have gladly queued up to take a swing at both Glenn Hughes and Ian Gillan. The Melody Maker's Allan Jones might also have opined there was 'bad blood' between himself and the 'Tonester' thug. Sabbath was effectively dead in the water after the execrable 'Technical Ecstasy' in '76 and although Geezer, Tony and Dio did some great stuff in the 80's it wasn't remotely in the Sabbath canon.

Its good but sounds like DP. Doesnt sound luke BS. The best singer for BS was Tony Martin

Glenn Hughes: ' l got addicted to Cocaine' then sniffs😂 this is a really good album at the end of the day.

Thank you for putting this documentary together. I’m a fan of the Hughes/Gillen/Martin era. All fine singers. I still hope that Tony Iommi will play some shows with Glenn Hughes,under a different name.

I've heard Iommi state in an interview that Michael Bolton auditioned.

I wished Ray would have stayed in the band longer.

Should’ve Been Iommi solo album great album though

It's a shame Sharons father made them call it Black Sabbath , when Tony wanted his own solo album . That family has always caused problems ! Glenn and Tony wanted to tour fused when it came out and Sharon ... put a stop to it Glenn said . So Sabbath could tour Ozzfest .. I've never understood why she has so much power ?? She doesn't own Tony

I love this album! Wish had a bettwr bass player

Seventh Star should've been a Tony Iommi solo album imo. Glenn is a great vocalist and bassist. Big fan of his work in Deep Purple. Gotta love the overlap in band members between Black Sabbath and Deep Purple.🤘

I saw them on this tour. W.a.s.p opened for them.

I bought Seventh Star when it first came out and loved it straight away. Still do.

Saw the last Glen show (Worcester Mass.) No encore, and Glenn really struggled. He dogged Quadafi 😄in his stage rap. The stage set was AWESOME, and Anthrax killed it.

Glenn ,pies, Hughes with that mullet

I was able to get this album, brand new, on red vinyl from Rollin' Records. I don't know where it came from, but it's one of my prized possessions. Seventh Star is one of my favorite albums of all time, and if I could've kept any incarnation of Sabbath around longer, it would've been this one. Drug addiction is a beast that just can't be tamed by other people, it can only be conquered by the person themselves. And that did happen, thankfully, for Glenn. But at that point, a decade had passed. The DEP sessions is a great, but it's just not the same as Seventh Star. Its time had come and gone. Eternal Idol is a close as we got!

I love the album, great documentary

Glenn's 80s hair is a blast

Cool video i member this situation was all over music news back then.I was in high school saw the tour when it came to San Antonio.Remember being blown away by Ray Gillen's voice.

Ray Guillen was the best voice SABBATH ever had, he could sing any track ever recorded by the band and make it sound so good, but then we know you also need to be a good frontman and to be a good songwriter too. SEVENTH STAR had songs no other singer could sing that well, GLENN did a great job.

TRES Cool/Heavy

I was hoping it was mentioned but i saw this tour in NY with Ray Gillian and he lost his voice they finished the show playing instrumental on snd off i didn't care i was 19 and it was a fun time

Im still confused who actually sings danger zone on the album ??

Iommi must have endured a lot of migraines during that period in his career.

Given the body of work of sabbath between 1970 and 1982, I don’t see subsequent work as note worthy . I did like TYr , but it’s certainly not on 5he same footing as say, Sabotage. I don’t think Iommi ever found the right formulae . To some extent these forays by Iommi diminished the name, but it was quickly forgotten by 1999 with reunion. For me Iommi’s best work is the early mid 70s. for me Iommi’s guitar needs to be paired with Ozzy, even For me, Dio was not as suitable as Ozzy . I liked songs like megalomania and killing youself to live; not country girl. The production values of the 80s differed from the 70s, and didn’t suit the sabbath sound, it became too processed and groomed. Having said that, Dio did reinvent Sabbath, just like Rhodes reinvented Ozzy. RIP RJD.
