No. More like "Tony and Friends". With no Geezer or Bill there is no Black Sabbath. Ozzy was replaceable because he didn't really do shit except snort up everyones coke. But without the Geezer and Bill Black Sabbath isn't Black Sabbath. Sorry.
@SLAYERMETALLICA357 Maybe you dont like it but Tony Iommi makes Black Sabbath! HE IS BLACK SABBATH!!! He kept the group alive when Ozzy made solo career, Butler had his own group GZR and Ward was almost dead after two heart attacks. Without Iommi, now you will probably be a Lady Gaga fan!!!
As I've read reviews I thought this is gonna be some unnatural crap. Ok it's weird some way, but really interesting. I'm an Ozzy era Sabbath fan, but I prefer Martin over Dio much much more, and here he really makes an effort to make something new and different. And Iommi is flawless to me.
I don't understand, what's bad about Ice-T's short part here. I only appears some seconds and not the whole song or album. I don't like Rap or Hip Hop, but I respect the people listen to it as long as they respect mine.
The only thing i can say is i'll give it a shot and hear it through I'm very objective when it comes to bands and music and what band doesnt have bad albums???? they all do all my favorite bands have a bad or bad albums. I strong disagree when you say they didn't care how could they not care its their talent is like a ball player that goes out and plays half ass it cannot be done you give it 100% and if people think is shit then they're entitled to their opinion.
This is pretty good right here. I've always been a big fan of the Ozzy/Dio era and never really listened to the later albums...until now. I also bought Cross Purposes. I dig that one alot.
@unholyimage This is absolutely nothing like vintage early Sabbath. As my high school history teacher Mr. Hand once famously said. What are you, on DOPE!!!!.
It's really too bad Iommi met Tony Martin. Those five albums could have been great if I didn't have to sit through and bear Martin's ghastly voice. Iommi is my favorite guitarist and always will be, but man he burned a lot of bridges with band members. This album would have been unreal with Dio (and I say that as someone who prefers the Ozzy albums).
Guys! If you like this sound go check out the brand new band of Steve Sylvester, the frontman and head of the great Death SS, the real children of Black Sabbath. With project the band has managed to mix a strange and raw sound with a lot of prog and evil '70 sabbathic sound. It's simply amazing! The first and ony album, which was released in 2010, is called "The Shining Darkness". You MUST check it out, it's such a great masterpiece!
This melody is just evil, fantastic. It's a pity for the sound... They did mean to obtain a very raw sound, but they didn't pump the guitar enough end they didn't give it any kind of scratch, which would be really needed. They ment to have a primordial and kicking sound just as in the first albums, but they could have done a better job if they had made just a little adjustements
@CentraCross no it aint, and you know it. you can tell a steady quality decrease after 2, not that 3,4,5, or 6 were bad, they just didnt showcase their signature their wild, animal sound as much as 1 or 2. btw have you even listened to their other albums? if you did you would agree that ITTOD is retarded.
@CentraCross The worst Sabbath album by far is Forbidden. Followed only of course by the: drum roll please!!!!! Never Say Die. For good measure, the only Sabbath singers who ever mattered were Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio and Ian Gillan, ( 1983: Born Again).
@jwdub75 I only listen to the Ozzy albums - I don't consider it Sabbath without all 4 birmingham lads. That said - NSD and TE are both great albums. They're just different.
This IS NOT BLACK SABBATH. It's Tony Iommi's pathetic attempt to milk the success the name could give.
It's as if George Harrison made a band WITHOUT Lennon, McCartney & Ringo and had the audacity to name it "Beatles". Simply laughable. Hence, it doesn't matter whether it's good or not, it's definitely NOT Black Sabbath.
@metsainatopoulou2 I hate when people argue whether something is sabbath or not. If its under the name BLACK SABBATH its BLACK SABBATH. I dont see anyone saying Iron Maiden isn't Iron maiden because Paul Di'anno isn't there anymore-do I?
@ZeppFloydSabbath people are retarded man. I have a big problem with this whole Loyalty over honesty thing. Tony Martin era sabbath was so amazing. Its been proven time and again that all you need for a Sabbath cd is IOMMI and it will be great.
FUCK THE HATERS! This is a good CD with a good vocalist! You're mad because the singer isn't Ozzy or Dio or anyone who's made a name for themselves OUTSIDE of Black Sabbath, but that DOESN'T mean he's a bad vocalist and this isn't bad playing either! And Ice T's involvement was a bit of spoken word in the bridge and some backing vocals! It didn't ruin the song by ANY means! It's a good CD it's just not truly Black Sabbath and THAT'S why you're mad. But it's a good CD.
@MMRED Its trully Black Sabbath my friend... Listen to the riffs!!! Who else can compose such guitar riffs except the fingerless riff master Tony Iommi..... Even his personal albums are Black Sabbath.... Black Sabbath are there when Iommi is there!!! The abscence of Iommi makes Black Sabbath, no Black Sabbath!!!
Yeah, you make a good point. Tony Iommi is Black Sabbathj. But when I said "Not truly Black Sabbath" I mean not truly THE Black Sabbath that most people look back on. But yeah, you're right.
Stop saying this album is bad, forbidden has some awsome tracks, like: Rusty angles, Guilty as hell, kiss of death, get a grip, can't get close enough and forbidden.
Iommi has said that this Album is CRAP. They just didnt spend the time and energy on it and contractual obligations is obvious excuse. Iommi's guitar is always good!
Not even close to their worst album. Never Say Die and Technical Ecstasy are far worse than this one. Besides, the Tony Martin era is unbelieveably underrated. Headless Cross is one of their best.
This may be the worst Sabbath album, but that doesn't mean much, it's still good music. Actually I want to know, what's worse, this album, or Never say Die?
Don't expect Tony to play something that can convince you that he's still the young kid from an industrial town who created a new sound that blew us away the first time we heard it. Then again, we're not the same person who discovered their first few albums. He's a 65 yr old man that never stopped playing; he's continued to invent new thumping riffs in a flooded market in which it seems most riff ideas have been used Much respect to Sir Tony Iommi.
I've read that the only reason the band did this album was to end their contractual obligations . Its rumored that due to this, they didn't take it very seriously
Iommi's guitar work seems to be pretty good on this, but it just doesn't seem to have the same feel as their earlier work with Ozzy and Dio
@DeadlyInsomnia That's a common misconception. It was acctually the very rare best of album The sabbath stones that was the album to close Iommi contract with the record company. And allso. the band took Forbidden seriously. Its just that they wanted to make a raw and simple album in just about two weeks or so. Like how they made their debut album. Some people may say it missfired badly. But i for one likes Forbidden
@Defcon737: Whether a body is work is the best or worst ever, is a matter of subjective opinion. Jano likes it, you don't and neither do I, but it's better to leave someone to their tastes. There are a couple of decent tracks on this CD nonetheless.
@DeadlyInsomnia Iommi has said that this Album is CRAP. They just didnt spend the time and energy on it and contractual obligations is obvious excuse. Iommi's guitar is always good!
In my opinion, and keep in mind this is just my Opinion; This shouldn't be called a black sabbath album, Toni is the only original member at this point! I don't give a damn if he owns the name or not, it isn't black sabbath without Terry Or Bill! again this is just my opinion!
Its strange but I have a different song under the same name. Same album but a very different song. But still Tony Martin kicks ass. I like him better than Ozzy.

Black Sabbath was nothing in the middle of 90'S. Tony Martin safe BS for the gig mistake!! First time when i see BS was 1995 and Tony Martin on the vocals! Never seen the Gig. I been Metal head all my life. Tony Martin have to do some great soon. Responsibility to all metall. BUT 90'S Sucks!!! Expect Tiny Martin and BS!!!

It's really a good song, but it's really not "black sabbath"... You got my meaning? It's awesome, but different. Maybe this is why it's awesome? It's special...
Tony Martin certainly gives the song a quality, regardless the spoken word lines. But what the fuck was that part from 2.25 to 2.40? No, I don't think that this really matches Sabbath's style at all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This song is better then some of the stuff black sabbath did with ozzy osbourne and ronnie james dio and ian gillan not bad. GREAT song and this is sabbaths worst album bullshit its riff heavy from what im hearing.
Forbidden is a very underappreciated album. The only song I don't really like is Shaking Off the Chains.
I avoided The Illusion of Power for a long time because I heard about the Ice-T thing...but when I listened to it, I was pleasently surprised, since he doesn't rap, he SPEAKS his line.
dude are you retarded dio didnt do no fake shit with sabbath you fucken goon if you actually read the lyrics dummy you will realize there songs have a meaning dumbass you just gotta use your brain wich i dont think you got
and you promise to pray with you in spirit and you get many favors celestial every Monday from 20.00 to 21.00 (until the end of the world) for peace, prosperity because, 40 Jewish bankers of seigniorage, have stolen the monetary sovereignty
YOUTUBE will raise the level of its business, when all of ignominies: go on.
And we, we have to stay here peacefully together with our children
This album was absolutely panned by fans and critics alike, but it is one of those recordings that takes a few listens before it grows on you. "Forbidden" is NOT the bona fide classic that "Paranoid" and "Master of Reality" were, but it does not deserve to be entirely overlooked. I thought the rap part worked out OK in this song, and Get A Grip was a memorable riff. If you can get the foreign release of this album, get the song LOSER GETS IT ALL an awesome track omitted from the American one.
This doesnt really sound like Martins voice, I mean I know its him. I don't like the Ice T guest vocals at all, though its cool to hear that he likes sabbath. The opening riff was pretty good, but the drums sounded awful, and the mixing didnt seem to good. 2/5 I guess just because of that, but the reason it wasnt a 1 was because of Iommi's riff.
That has been circling in my head for many years when I hear this killer song. I guess the answer is because Iommi allowed it but WHY? Yah, I also strongly feel that this Rap crap guy didn't need to be on any Sabbath.
Its cool to know ice t has a respect for these legends he is one of the very few hip hop artists that understands that if rock music didnt exist hip hop wouldnt. Along with jazz and blues, rock is one of the biggest influences in hip hop. Im huge fan of both sabbath and ice t.
Here's a word of advice: Tony Martin and Ice T should never sing together, let alone write songs together. Tony Martin just doesn't seem like a rap guy, and this song sounds like it.
I thought this record was a pile of dirt but i actually like it. The annoying thing is that I don't know what it is that appeals to me! Perhaps it's just the power of recognising elements of the music... Iommis strings and Martins vocals..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is a mess. The vocals, guitars and drums are just EVERYWHERE! It sounds awful! And Ice T here was an awful choice! I love Black Sabbath. Their first album through Sabotage are classics and so is Heaven And Hell. But this doesn't even sound like metal, it sounds like rap! Which it is! UGH!
Oh yeah! I'm seeing Black Sabbath at Stockholm Stadion on May 26 \m/

I'm pretty sure this song proves the point that Ice-t is the best singer of Black Sabbath.

Why don't you go play on the highway you ignorant dicK? This Sabbath record is very underrated just because Ozzy or Dio isn't singing on it.

Its strange but I have a different song under the same name. Same album but a very different song. But still Tony Martin kicks ass. I like him better than Ozzy.

Black Sabbath was nothing in the middle of 90'S. Tony Martin safe BS for the gig mistake!! First time when i see BS was 1995 and Tony Martin on the vocals! Never seen the Gig. I been Metal head all my life. Tony Martin have to do some great soon. Responsibility to all metall. BUT 90'S Sucks!!! Expect Tiny Martin and BS!!!

Tony Martin certainly gives the song a quality, regardless the spoken word lines. But what the fuck was that part from 2.25 to 2.40? No, I don't think that this really matches Sabbath's style at all.

Forbidden is a very underappreciated album. The only song I don't really like is Shaking Off the Chains.
I avoided The Illusion of Power for a long time because I heard about the Ice-T thing...but when I listened to it, I was pleasently surprised, since he doesn't rap, he SPEAKS his line.
Excellent song on an excellent album.

This is my first listen. I can't say I like it that much, but i think it's like St. Anger for Sabbath. It takes getting used to.

This album was absolutely panned by fans and critics alike, but it is one of those recordings that takes a few listens before it grows on you. "Forbidden" is NOT the bona fide classic that "Paranoid" and "Master of Reality" were, but it does not deserve to be entirely overlooked. I thought the rap part worked out OK in this song, and Get A Grip was a memorable riff. If you can get the foreign release of this album, get the song LOSER GETS IT ALL an awesome track omitted from the American one.

This doesnt really sound like Martins voice, I mean I know its him. I don't like the Ice T guest vocals at all, though its cool to hear that he likes sabbath. The opening riff was pretty good, but the drums sounded awful, and the mixing didnt seem to good. 2/5 I guess just because of that, but the reason it wasnt a 1 was because of Iommi's riff.

Why is this Rap Poser in the Song?
BringerOfRelease 3 years ago
That has been circling in my head for many years when I hear this killer song. I guess the answer is because Iommi allowed it but WHY? Yah, I also strongly feel that this Rap crap guy didn't need to be on any Sabbath.

Just for your info. Ice-T has a rock band called Body Called.

Its cool to know ice t has a respect for these legends he is one of the very few hip hop artists that understands that if rock music didnt exist hip hop wouldnt. Along with jazz and blues, rock is one of the biggest influences in hip hop. Im huge fan of both sabbath and ice t.

Here's a word of advice: Tony Martin and Ice T should never sing together, let alone write songs together. Tony Martin just doesn't seem like a rap guy, and this song sounds like it.
bestofbeast1000 3 years ago
I thought this record was a pile of dirt but i actually like it. The annoying thing is that I don't know what it is that appeals to me! Perhaps it's just the power of recognising elements of the music... Iommis strings and Martins vocals..

This is a mess. The vocals, guitars and drums are just EVERYWHERE! It sounds awful! And Ice T here was an awful choice! I love Black Sabbath. Their first album through Sabotage are classics and so is Heaven And Hell. But this doesn't even sound like metal, it sounds like rap! Which it is! UGH!
