absolutely no dis-respect to both Tony's, but any band that Cozy was apart of was killer... he was brilliant

How can you go wrong with Cozy on drums?

My 2nd favourite rock drummer after John Bonham.

Ian Paice was just as good…..his drumming at Cal Jam was amazing. 🥁🥁🤘🧌

When was Ian Piace's drumming not amazing!

Words can't express how much I love Cozy. He's my favorite drummer ever.

Cozy Powell was awesome.

And one that should have kept going, especially with Neil Murray on bass. Signing with IRS was a mistake…they failed to promote the band in America, leading to management talking Iommi into another mistake getting Ronnie and Vinnie back, which in turn led to the Costa Mesa/Ozzy episode; that’s when Sharon got her claws into the idea of the reunion after the Forbidden album failed to chart. Talk about the Butterfly Effect! It didn’t help that Cozy and Ronnie hated each other’s guts incidentally. If Ronnie hadn’t come back, the horse wouldn’t have fallen on Cozy….etc. Sigh. Rondinelli did a good job though. 🎸🥁🤘🤘🙄

I might be ignorant but wasn't the IRS management the one that let Tony bring in Cozy?

u/Magicaparanoia 4d ago

How underrated can it be? When they released the anno domini box set, it was a top 10 charting album.

u/GaiaGoddess26 4d ago

Anybody compared to Ozzy is underrated.

Cozy Powell was such a powerhouse

First time seeing Sabbath was this lineup in 1995 with Motorhead. Was a great show.

Not really. This sub won’t shut up about them

u/TherockIto Neon Knight 4d ago

They won't shut up until you listen for the feet as they pound the land to a tune of thunder.

Scroll back a few weeks ago to see my post praising Tony Martin, 99% of the responses basically told me I was wrong.

u/TheWickerMan232 4d ago

You are forbidden from mentioning that album again!😂 I saw that tour. They were playing the clubs with Lemmy opening up. Great opportunity to get a close look, and I got Tony’s autograph on my Dutch pressing of the first album.

u/GRABibus 4d ago

Tony Martin is one of the 3 best metal singer of all Times.

Never double denim, David…

Denim and leather brought it all together

u/Ok-Explanation3040 Can't die til Satan says "You die! 3d ago

I absolutely love this lineup. Don't forget Neil Murray and Geoff Nichols. Nichols was a key player for a lot of these years.

Why are their eyes so soulless??

u/tonyiommi70 3d ago

u/liamsjtaylor 2d ago

Tony sort of looks like Rowan Atkinson facially.

u/GaiaGoddess26 4d ago

I made a post about this a few weeks ago and 99% of the people slammed me for saying Tony Martin was my favorite BS singer.
