DR DOOM Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I liked some of the Martin stuff but is he worth a shit these days? I doubt it.He is touring the US I think, but there's no way Tony and Geezer will have anything to do with him now.In Iommi's book he pretty much only has bad things to say about Tony Martin, like how (basically) he had no stage presence and was amateurish...which is pretty valid I guess but in all fairness Martin did front his shitpiece Sabbath through those shittiest of times when nobody else would and also had the good grace to come back after being dumped like a hot turd for Dio a couple of times.At least Tony Martin tried to do his own thing and was generally pretty creative, while nobody would know who he is unless he fronted BS he did keep them going too.The thing with Tony (and Geezer) is that they never actually shitcan anybody in their band while they are in their band or to their faces, they are very non confrontational and the story changes accordingly to the tune of who is paying the bills.Since Sharon now owns Black Sabbath (after bailing Iommi out of jail with $75,000) you will be pleased to discover that Tony, Ozzy and the gang were best of mates all along the way and Sabbath didn't even exist in the 80's up until 1997.

I'm not saying Tony has to play the 80's material live, or even be proud of it for that matter, but he shouldn't pretend one of it ever happened.
