This is off of Wiki just to confirm who played what :
The band Bullring Brummies is made up of Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler, Sabbath drummer Bill Ward, vocalist Rob Halford (not long out of Judas Priest), Obsessed guitarist Scott "Wino" Weinrich, Fight guitarist Brian Tilse and Jimmy Wood on Harmonica. Their cover of "The Wizard" on the first volume is their only recording, the musicians coming together specifically for this recording.
Terry "Geezer" Butler on bass, Bill Ward on drums, Rob Halford on vox and, I believe, harmonica, Wino on guitar, and some one more guy. This is their only recording, very unfortunately.
Scott "Wino" Weinrich is a famous underground guitarist/singer who has been in many popular doom metal bands such as Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, The Hidden Hand, Place of Skulls, etc. Bands which take direct influence from Sabbath while still incorporating there own style.
Thank you :) I Wikied him later, found Saint Vitus, downloaded two of their albums - Hollow's Vitcim and The Walking Dead EP, and I'd say there's definitely a number of great stuff there, though a couple of fillers are present as well. Very Sabbatesque, but also with a sense of their time in music (trash-metal)
In all honesty no one can match Tony Iommi (maybe Jimmy Page), but probably the best cover of this song I've ever heard was by Zakk Wyld's Pride & Glory from '94.

a rare time when the remake exceeds the epicness of the original.

Honestly not very cool in my opinion. The effects on Rob's voice annoy me and the instrumental part seems less catchy and harder on the ears.

According to an interview with Bill Ward in the book Sabbath Bloody Sabbath this is Tony, Geezer, Bill and Halford.

Geezer is on bass and Rob Halford is singing. This is one of the (very) few Sabbath songs that was better in it's redone version than its original.

Seriously, I like this better than the original, well done!
But this tribute mostly is not half as good. BB are the best on it, imho. Decent versions from Zombie and Megadeth, and that's all.

Tony Iommi only WISHES he could play guitar as good as Wino.....He OWNS this song and, it sounds 100 Times better than Iommi`s playing.

I'm sorry but Iommi > Wino. Its hardly possible to even think that WIno would have picked the guitar up without Iommi's inspiration.

Wino who? (there's a pun intended as well, but I really don't know who Wino is).
