Black Sabbath - Zero the Hero (Live'83)

[TheDannyhyde]

this album still freaks me out! way out there, but very good. disturbing the priest is a badass song!!!!

[canocanometal]

genial conchamimadre kien dice q born again es malo. no tiene idea sabbath jamas ha editado un album malo a pesar de que a alguien leguste o no quien cante.

[spudnutsncoffee]

Does anyone know what this song is about? What about the reference to eating raw liver and so forth?

[sethalos]

Doesn't get much better than this....Disturbing the Priest is my all time fav of the album, but this is soooo close.

[TheFLOYDSTER60]

this sounds like my c.d. mass for ian,worchester,MASS.11-4-83 fm broadcast..i went to the show when they came to st.paul,mn! heavy-loud.ian screaming..i bought the tour program,bev beven great drums!!

[VisionsofAliceTV]

zLurk

[thunderstruck100500]

cannibal corpse plays it better

[hallmitchell]

Tony Iommi states in his book that Paradise City by Guns N Roses sounds like this song. Is Tony on drugs? It sounds nothing like it! Come on Tony!

[riff88m]

wow, that's absolutely better than album version !

[MrHammers44]

This CD is so under rated..awesome.Tony Iommi master of scary riffs

[xIGabrieLIx]

Ian Gillan Rocks

[sonicsteev]

yea geezer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[MuleMan14]

second verse 2:32 bloody heavy stuff

[lucifer6666ification]

geezer is wicked at bass!

[brnleague99]

I love Ozzy. I love Dio. I love Tony Martin. So tell me guys. Is "Born Again" worth getting? What I've heard of it: "Disturbing The Priest" and "Zero The Hero" is fucking righteous stuff.

[gman5531]

@brnleague99

I think its a must have album. That lineup was AMAZING. I have worn out about 4 copies of it over the years.

[brnleague99]

@gman5531 Tony Iommi has been quoted as saying he likes the songs...but the production of the album, not so much.

[sawiola55]

@brnleague99

hell you must have it !! i bought my self week ago a deluxe edition !! really worth it !!

[michaels2boys]

@brnleague99 / I love the whole lp. Till DeHumanizer came along 10 years later this was prob the heaviest scariest album Sabbath had done since Masters of Reality!

[TheDannyhyde]

@michaels2boys you are right, sab needs to do a freakshow album again. i mean scare the hell out of everyone.

[TheHeadbanger93]

Black Sabbath should reunite the Born Again lineup

[leqsei1234]

i wish they had made one dvd untill fucking seperate!

[Ampfear]

Gillan Sabbath was best. Period.

[Metalbob011]

@Ampfear It was an amazing combo! Power, heavy and Ian disturbed the peace with his vocals.

[jodonte1]

check out "thunderhead"..cover of zero.. i think ya might like it.....

[Saxonmarko]

so fuckin great this ian gillan is fantastic here what a voice unbelivable!!!

[lidoplace]

Was fortuante enough to have seen them on this tour with Quiet Riot at the Capital Centre in November 1983......loudest concert EVER...E-V-E-R!! Listening to this reminded me of how powerful and ear-shattering they were....

[spacecowboy1956]

@lidoplace saw that tour in buffalo ny.....i agree about the volume :P

[jimmyd2995]

Very cool, i wish gillan stayed wirh sabbath fo a few more years

[SuperMad420]

who's the prick that didnt like this

[ami2evil]

...would like to hear Ozzy do this one

[korgrandi]

Wow! This version is excellent! Heavier than the one on the album!

[xyloplax]

This song has the cheezy horror flick intro, but the main riff and chorus is soooooooooo killer.

[azaccone]

I was front row center for this tour at the Nassau Coliseum tripping on window pane. Gillian's hair was down to his waist and he played a bongo solo with his hair flying around like a madman. Awesome!

[gumbowski]

Born Again is an EXTREMELY underrated album

[DHRC18]

@gumbowski Agree 100%....I actually just bought the album again a few months back...yes, the "album".

[punarsamana]

Sounds great! IMHO, Zero the Hero is the best heavy metal song that most people have never heard.

[TTTT1975]

Great one! First heard it 15 years ago as a cover from Cannibal Corpse. But, this is muuuuch better and more heavier!

awesome.

black sabbath wrote fantastic songs in everey period with every singer. sadly the most of the people thinks of ozzy, when they hear "black sabbath"

[TTTT1975]

Great one! First heard it 15 years ago as a cover from Cannibal Corpse. But, this is muuuuch better and more heavier!

[bigdaddysmak]

this sounds great! Where can I find this?

[Futilityman]

In 1984 I took a trip and when I got back my brother told me Sabbath were on MTV with Gillan (in black leather)doing Zero the Hero.Has anyone seen this or was my brother pulling my leg?

[Pata1]

Guns & Roses stole the beat and used it for "Paradise City".

[DoctorPretorious616]

@Pata1 And Danzig also stole it for "Her Black Wings"! Their former guitarist John Christ admits it.

[olhole]

Ian Gillan made Black Sabbath HEAVY again.

Underrated period in Sabbath's history, without a doubt.

By the way, I loved their concert at the Cow Palace in early 1984.

[inextremus2]

thanks for the song .....!!

[AcesRecords]

Excellent sound quality !

[Terminxman]

2:35 shit gets fucking heavy

[rothesslayer]

One of the most under appreciated sabbath tracks there is. This kicks ass!

[husq48]

As usual, Ian can't even remember the lyrics for the songs he wrote on this lp! Every live clip I've heard from this line-up Ian sounds awful!

[coreeeey420]

The sound quality on this is amazing. Is it from a bootleg or a professional recording? And Tony's solo is awesome too. "Born Again" was a great album and Gillan really fit in well with the post-Ozzy-Sabbath sound. It's really a shame that they only ever got to make one album together, because they were quite a powerful match.

[streetshark1972]

sounds so good

[helcio1960]

Ian Gillan was an honest guy while in the BS.

He gave his best and his voice.

Did not impose himself with his great voice and never tried to steal the throne of Ozzy.

He was only one of the best rock singers in the world that passed through the BS.

[gibsongold1970]

This song is about ozzy.iguess they really hammered him when he wrote silly songs,and got so soft like you can't kill rocknroll.which you must admit is soft for the ozzman who recorded with SABBATH for many years.SABBATH ARE THE TRUE HEROES of RNR MUSIC.take that one to the bank sharon!!!

[billgeezeriommi]

@gibsongold1970 who said it was about ozzy?

[sealtobe]

what is the date of this show, i would love to have a complete show?

[Fongolitus]

Nice contributions by Bev Bevan! Props!

[nazzare79]

Well Ian Gillan is great singer, but he fit to Black Sabbath. This performance shows that. Enoug Deep Purple in Black Sabbath at the times of "Born Again" album to make it a masterpiece...he destroy Ozzy in one second...

[conker2021]

@nazzare79 But he cant compare to Dio.

[nazzare79]

@conker2021 No, in fact Gillan is superior to Dio but they are very different singers and a true comparison can't be done...

[jeillyrude]

i saw this tour...albany new york...i remember the drum riser too!

[BlackSabbath1776]

Amazing rendition! Listen to that pounding bass! Geezer is the man!

[toyomaru90]

@BlackSabbath1776 That's right
