Sabbath again; Anno Domini (with Tony Martin on vocals);

A note; I think some people feel this isn't Sabbath because it doesn't sound like Ozzy or Ronnie or vocals. I think in that case, I'd say look at them as an 80s metal band and they work well.

After all, they've still got Tony on guitar and an excellent drummer in Cozy Powell.

BTW, Ozzy famously hated this album. In a very acid message to one of the heavy metal magazines, and in response to an article in the same magazine about the band in which Tomny Martin and Neil Murray had dissed him, he described the then current band as the "weakest incarnation of Sabbath ever, frankly they are no-talent pussies".)

Sharon later joined in the fun by telling Tony that "your voice is generic, you do not have any individuality so it's easy for you to copy other singers' phrasings and styles...

She ended by saying that

"I should remind you that every night on stage you get paid for singing Ozzy's songs, but Ozzy will never have to sing any of yours."

I love all eras of Sabbath. People that can't move on from Ozzy era Sabbath are missing out.

Got the name of the track wrong! Anno Mundi of course.

Indeed, I had the pleasure of seeing them back in the 80's when Dio was the frontman, utterly spellbinding, it wasn't just a concert it was an experience, I saw Ozzy a couple times back then and he was great too, I think that both Sabbath and Ozzy did some of their best work post-breakup.

Oh almost forgot the thread title, bonus points if you know this without searching, it starts like this:
"Some wonder, some filter, some trip to pass the time...."

I was studying for my degree finals at university when the "Heaven and Hell" album came out, and wasn't paying any attention to the news or the music press, so when I got back home and turned on the radio to hear "Neon Knights," I literally couldn't believe it when the DJ said it was by Black Sabbath; where's Ozzy?

Tony said in an interview that the band had no choice but to sack Ozzy because they just weren't getting anything done. which may well have been true. Ozzy replied that whilst there was some truth to this, it was a bit rich to blame the band's debacle on him and his drug taking alone when the whole band was out of it on drugs for much of the time - as he said, we were "four uncontrollable dickheads from Birmingham trying to get it together, but we couldn't get it together enough to prune a hedge".

I think they were a different band with Ronnie, not better or worse but just different. Ronnie was a far batter technical singer than Ozzy was (as Ozzy once admitted himself), but I think Oz could convey emotion in his singing in a way Ronnie couldn't.

I found this @Dobbie

Sometimes I think half of everyone under 50 (and quite a few over) are in a band down there

Tons of bands, very few really good ones.

Most of those bands rule. Ulcerate are the absolute pinnacle of NZ Metal. Devilskin (so bad....not ever really Metal), Alien Weaponry, the complete opposite.

Diocletian, Dawn of Azazel, awesome. Beastwars, pretty good too.

Less elitist Metalheads will no doubt disagree with me.
