Tony Iommi & Tony Martin in conversation : Black Sabbath - TYR 

Tyr is hands down one of my favourite Sabbath albums of any era. Easily one of the most under-rated metal albums of all time.

Fantastic interview. Love seeing Tony Martin being given the time he deserves to discuss his Sabbath era. Wonderful!

Tony Martin is one of the best things that have happened to Sabbath. "Devil & Daughter" is the pinnacle of perfection!

It sucks that this era was so ignored. It's always been my favorite. Tony Martin is my favorite Sabbath vocalist, and it's not even close.

This album was actually my introduction to Black Sabbath. My friends were like 'that's not REAL Sabbath' and I got into the 70s era, but now that I'm grown up and looking back, I love this album, it means a lot to me. They were at a peak, doing what any great band does... evolve. Anno Mundi is an insanely powerful song

Tony Martin era is so underrated , concert in Ljubljana September 1989 was absolutely great! I was a kid at that time and enjoyed every second watching them live for the first time 🤘

Thank you Tonys for sharing this with us! A headless cross tour would be a dream coming through! Best wishes for you!

Love Tony Martin, Iommi bring him on again!

That couch looks very comfortable...

I'm just begging for these albums to go on streaming services. I bought the LP pack despite not even owning a record player lol, I just want to be able to listen to them like the rest of the catalogue.

Seeing Tony and Tony reunited is a caress to my soul... okay, now make a new album!

Tony Martin kicks some serious ASS. KILLER era.

A personal favourite of mine. Songs like Anno Mundi, The Lawmaker, The Sabbath Stones and the Valhalla suite are gloriously epic numbers. I wish they had a longer tour where the Valhalla suite was performed and was recorded. So glad it's getting the recognition again.

Tyr is my second favorite from the Martin Era. Great songs.

How fresh and juvenile is his voice!

Every single Black Sabbath album with Tony Martin is a BLAST ! Boy, Tony's vocals fit perfectly with Iommi's voodoo riffs ! It's freaking GLORIOUS !!!

Cross Purposes is my favorite of this era, though I enjoy all of them.

TYR WAS VERY EPIC . The best with martin, and one of the best of sabath

One of the best albums of all time \m/

My favorite Martin era Album !! Top notch 🤘

LEGENDS!

That was an underrated lineup. I still enjoy their albums.

I love Tony!! my favorite guitar player of all time!!

Amazing singer. Tony Iommi is the riff lord.

Heaven in Black is one of my favorite Cozy Powell performances!

Its crazy that this showed up on my feed tonight as was just jamming along with "Feels Good to Me"! Love this album! Thank you for creating this!

Dio amd Martin Sabbath for me. Stylistically they are my favourites

Amazing!

This rules.

THIS IS THE ONLY OPORTUNITY THAT BLACK SABBATH TO MAKE ANOTHER TOUR MAKE A TOUR WITH MARTIN

Can't wait for the new box set! Hope they reunite again for a farewell tour! Never got the chance to see them live😢

Bello/Magnifico.✡️🌡️🌡️🌡️🌡️🌡️🌡️

I loved the Tyr album when it came out. Hard to find in recent times!

Tony Martin erra was amazing...I hate that it doesn't get the respect it should...it's disgusting that it is not available....these were masterpieces and to see it's not available is a big injustice to the fans..they could remaster it...what's the problem ????

Great album funny how i seem to like it more now than when it came out

“Fascinating” that none of this content is surfaced on Black Sabbath’s social media! 😂

These two Tonys should start a music project together called Two-ny

mi alineacion favorita la voz de tony es perfecta para la epoca

🤘✝🤘

Mr. Iommi, I don't know if any of these comments find their way to you, but I just want you to know that not only did you inspire me to pick up guitar (I've been at it for 20 years now), but your "Paranoid" album is the reason I'm still here. I was in middle school, and I was RELENTLESSLY bullied every day (even when school wasn't in session). I had absolutely nothing going for me, and I was going to end it. One day, I was listening to our classic Rock station on the radio, and they played "Iron Man", and your guitar tone made me realize that I HAVE to do that, I HAVE to play guitar. I did go out and buy the "Paranoid" album on CD, and a bit later, I bought my first guitar (both from Walmart, which, the guitar was like a FirstAct double cut with 1 humbucker and a tremolo, because it was accessible) My whole outlook on life changed (for the better), and my thoughts of ending it all went away. All because of that one song. Im 34 now and about to be married later this year, but without your music, things would've taken a much different turn. So I wanted to thank you for everything. And I apologize for the long comment, but I felt the need to post it. Rock on, man! 🤘🤘

We Need a new Album from you Both, something in the vain of the Martin era Albums under some other Name for sure.

🤘Tony🤘

The remixes sound great!!

Please release the Tony Martin-era albums on Spotify...

Just pre-ordered the Tony Martin erra from Rhino. I also ordered the live Evil super edition comes with your choice of 4 lp or cd. Comes with poster and book. You know I always wondered, on the Live Evil album Dio says " not only are we filming this but our next Sabbath album will be a live album" . Do you know if they gonna release that video anytime? Any word on that? Thanks🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

In Sabbath, we trust !

Okay weird question. Does anybody know what shoes Tony Iommi is wearing? I really want a pair and I tried to Google lens them and it didn't work.

There you go. I've been calling it Teewhyargh all these years. 😅

This is historical. Iommi despised Martin

"why did you leave" lol. He seemed bit embarrassed and who can blame him.

Will this interview ever be aired in its entirety instead of just clips?

Interviewer could have at least put himself in the Interview!🙄

I’m sure this will be unpopular here but I get really frustrated with Iommi’s comments and assessments of albums. He always says “it was a bit different” and “we worked with what we had.” These comments could apply to anything. And Martin doesn’t help. Just no insight into why this album was made.

Over-looked era, not a bad album

A few live shows featuring Tony x 2 plus Neil Murray and Bobby Rondinelli would be a cool thing ... I really liked Heaven In Black from TYR plus Cross Purposes album .... Forbidden has some great tracks but an awful cover .

I didn’t know that Gene Hackman sang for Black Sabbath

Good songwriting on TYR.... but the album production left much to be desired. Thin-sounding, shoddy and cheap. Ruined an otherwise great record.

First 😁🔥🤘

i hate that era

I never followed this version of sabbath , lost interest after The dio era. I had followed the original band since 1975 and saw them twice live before 1980. In the 70s sabbath had fringe appeal , stoners liked them , but too most, they were too heavy.I came across tyr in a used cd store some years back , bought it , and liked it, I rarely saw Martin era cds in stores and iTunes does not even have some of these albums. Very much looking forward to this compilation , I listen to and play on guitar sabbath songs weekly , constantly coming back to Iommis riffs from the 70s, absolute genius, my guitar idol.

There are a LOT of people who want to hear this (Anno Domini), and probably even more that never have. IRS Records held that shit hostage the rest of the band's career, horrible label.

Ozzy is the most 'important' voice in Sabbath Dio's is the 'best' but Tony Martin's is my FAVOURITE.

WE NEED A REUNION TOUR WITH TONY MARTIN!!!

Love Tyr Cozys drumming is so great on it!

So glad they got back together in the mid-90s. Cross Purposes is a phenomenal album.

The Tony Martin era is without a doubt, my favorite era of the band

Iommi is Sabbath, there's proving and then there's knowing! 🤘

Tyr is an absolute masterpiece! So happy that this era finally gets the credit it deserves 🔥

This is so awesome to see these guys together again!!!

TYR is a great album. 🔥🔥🔥

One awesome era of Black Sabbath...all the best from out here on land with the Kangaroos in Victoria Australia.

Good album, though I do prefer Headless Cross and Cross Purposes overall. To me, the highlight of 'Tyr' is the massive and atmospheric doom metal masterpiece that is 'The Sabbath Stones.' Can't wait for the LP box set to arrive in the mail!

I must say the new remixed albums sound much better and as a long time Black Sabbath fan I think looking back over history it is clear to me that Tony Martin is the best singer the band ever had because of his voice and range he is the only one who could sing any song on all 19 albums.

Devil & Daughter one of the best metal songs of 1989, vocal range of Tony on this track is awesome and hard until nowaday, and the Cozy´s drums is very killer and badass

Headless Cross ❤‍🔥

The split after TYR, funny how people word things when they are apart. But once together it's much safer how you talk about a split.

I've always called it "tire". Nice to know it's "tear". Anno Mundi and Sabbath Stones are genuinely two of my favourite songs ever! Definitely two of the best Sabbath songs. Underrated! And absolutely miles miles miles milessssss better than Paranoid (song) for example!

Tony, I'd like to openly thank you for releasing those amazing records on Spotify... FINALLY!! I absolutely love every sabbath album, of any era, but... my fav albums are with Tony in vocals... Tyr, Cross Purposes, and Mob Rules with Ronnie, are my favs... what can I say, Tony is one of rhe best singers ever, at least in Dio's level... so thanks so much for adding them awesome records to the spotify catalog. I got the albums, but my car doesnt have a cd player anymore!! Cheers from Colombia mate!

This is such an awesome interview. Hope to see whole thing together one day. Seems like Tony and Tony now have great time together, the way they reflecting on those times and jokeing about it. Haha

i mean its so obvious they should have kept doing this instead of the boring ozzy things

Thank you guys so much for giving these albums some well deserved attention and re-releases! Tyr especially for me is so far from what i think off as a black sabbath album but still one of my favorites overall. Dio and Ozzy are legends no doubt but Tony was in my mind at least as good as most great vocalists out there. He just aced it and did som great work for a band he was playing in and i loved how he dared to go so far out with this one and it's nice to see him say that he just did exactly that cause he just thought it was best to do his own things his own way. I have been quite cross about these albums not being out together with the rest of the catalouge so it feels like a big victory to finally see them on spotify etc. cause there is just no reason for actually really good albums no just not be there(Forbidden is well.... forbidden and the remix definetly makes up for some of it but still not my thing). So thanks Tony and Tony! :D

Oh man ❤ love hearing this stuff.

Solid era of SABBATH. Epic atmosphere and heavy as lead. Gracias Iommi! ⛧🤘

Was waiting years for the Forbidden reissue.... but at a cost of around £100 No thanks!

I love this album! Anno Mundi is my favorite.

Cozy Powell! 🥁

Awesome, 😎 , I have black sabbath ,C/D's and rock out loud volume. Thank you 😊🍻

This has to be uploaded to where it belongs…the Black Sabbath channel!

First time I heard anno mundi my head almost exploded.

The average Sabbath fan and Sabbath inspired bands are _Soooo_ depressing. First they ignore the singers beyond 1980. Then they ignore even the Ozzy albums after Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and fixate on their supposed "blues" sound on the first two albums. RE-DUCTION-IST. Even the last Sabbath lineup did this on their setlists.

Every day I am waiting for remixed Forbidden :)

What is wrong with you two people? Some of the GREATEST Sabbath albums where recorded then! MOve on! Do it!

Just pre ordered the Tony Martin erra from Rhino records they are calling it Anno Domini.👌🏼👌🏼they also have all the other Black Sabbath items. Very cool i also had to get the super edition of Live Evil 4 lp and poster with book...check it out.👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

As a longtime Sabbath fan, I admit that I stopped following their albums, for a while, after "Seventh Star," which I really loved, but few seemed to agree, at least among my friends. It took years for me, sadly, to give the Tony Martin era of the band a chance. By the time I caught up to "Headless Cross" and wanted to buy it and other Sabbath albums of this era, they were very hard to find. Looking forward to buying this CD box set!!

Great album

Hope this will lead to what "the Dio years" led to ..a reunion

Damn! I was like #665!😂

Cack

I don't press the thumps up icon now...look that number🤘
