What does everyone think of Sabbath with Ian Gillan?
The one album they made was pretty solid!
I really dig it. The mix is a muddy mess, and the cover is a hilariously garish nightmare, but the songs shine through. Disturbing The Priest is hell of a tune, Gillan screams his ass off.
The first six albums with the original line up are obviously the pinnacle, but I really like a lot of the later stuff too. Yeah, you can debate whether it's truly Sabbath or not, but Iommi is always there, an almost endless well of great riffs and songwriting.
I agree.....the mix is muddy, but it unquestionably sounds like Sabbath.
Trashed is a great opener!
Trashed is awesome. Zero the Hero was another one that I really liked on that album.
I remember Deep Purple released Perfect Strangers not too long after Born Again. Another good album from that time period.
I saw Gillan with Deep Purple a few years ago in Indy. He still sounds great.

Blasted The Writ and Megalomania on my way into work this morning. Wanted to bump this. I am so sad I didn’t get to see them on The End tour
dvd/blueray is great . From the last show in Birmingham....
I’ve watched A LOT of videos and would make the argument they sounded better the last two tours from 2013-2017 than the early 2000s. I can’t believe I’m saying that because Bill Ward has become my favorite drummer, it was always Bonzo but the way Ward and Geezer vibe is godly. I’d open every Sabbath show with The Writ and close every show with Megalomania Just to piggy back on Sabotage…Ozzy sounds like Plant at the end of Symptom, some great vocals…Thrill of it All is so underrated. That “Yeaaauhhh” after the first main riff is so fucking great 😆

I’ll stop after this, but I just read my original post. I don’t think there’s ever been a band or artist that has even come close to giving me that feeling as the first week…shit first 3 months of “discovering” all of Ozzy’s Sabbath

So funny^ same. I backed into sabbath. From Dio backwards. Once I started finding out ozzy sabbath was more than iron man my mind was blown. This also intersected with my experimental mind altering substance phase. A match made in [hell] heaven. Slowly entered ozzy sabbath when I found their 1st record for 10 bucks in a music store. They were all cd store, but had a couple leftover used crates of vinyl. That record had a slightly different track list than cd. Forget what additional song that is on the wax. Then picked up Sabotoge cd and SBS Master of Reality V4. Never say die got later on wax. Technical E too on lp. I might have gave that one away. Recentlyish, I scored a lot of there stuff on vinyl and it really is like hearing it all over again. The depth and tones go so deep.
Anyway thx for bumping this and unearthing all these great memories attached to the music and that time in my life.

I missed out on the chance to see Deep Purple on the Perfect Strangers tour.......I wouldn't dare see them without Ritchie Blackmore!

Went to Easy Street during the Seattle shows last year. I picked up the 1974 Speedway show on Vinyl.

Steve Morse was on guitar when we saw them. Sounded great.

early 80's like 81 or 82. had recently begun listening to classic rock station in C-bus. Q-FM 96.
Received a single speaker radio/tape player. I spent weeks trying to catch iron man from the earliest note. got real close and said good enough. was 13 yo..... listening to that devils music in my friends staunchly christians parents house. it was glorious....

Sold Our Soul for Rock n Roll was one of the first ten records on vinyl that I bought as a teen. Can't say I ever listened to their early records in their entirety. I also liked the Dio years - I liked Mob Rules. Dio seemed to be everywhere back then. Ozzy went solo just after I got into Sabbath. Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman hooked me on Ozzy more than Sabbath. Those two tours were fantastic. Randy died just before the Diary of Madman show in Hartford. We got Brad Gillis from Night Ranger instead.
Ahh. Funny. Give ozzy sabbath some undivided attention. If it doesn't click that's fine. I feel like sabotage especially is a masterpiece. Read somewhere that sabbath bloody sabbath was recorded in a castle dungeon. Maybe?

There was a time when bong hits and listening to Sabbath worked for me. I get it and every now and then I put them on. But I am more likely to put on the Blizzard than any Sabbath record. I do think Sabbath sounded great on the last reunion tour.
