We played two places, Moscow and Leningrad. I mean, what was the reaction like from the fans and the people that you met in the country at that time? VRP: You were one of the first bands to go over there after that kind of ban lifted in ‘89. In a new interview with Vintage Rock Pod, Tony talks about the new record, and shares some incredible stories from his Sabbath days, including when the band went to play in Russia in 1989 with tales of bottles being thrown, threats to pay the band in tractors, and the most unusual spectator ever at a Black Sabbath concert. Martin recently released his long-awaited solo album, Thorns, via Dark Star Records. He recorded five albums with the band: The Eternal Idol (1987), Headless Cross (1989), Tyr (1990), Cross Purposes (1994), and Forbidden (1995).
Martin was with Black Sabbath from 1987 - 1991, then again between 1993 - 1997. So I sent (Tony) this, and he went, 'Wow! That's fucking great.' And I said, 'Well, you're welcome to use it, if you wanna put that on.' So, I don't know… maybe you'll get that on there." I've got all of the writing sessions and rehearsals recorded. I had an 8-track recorder at the time in the '80s, and I used to take it everywhere. I'm expecting it to be a remixed version of whatever the original was that's what I'm expecting.Įddie Van Halen came over and helped us write one of the tracks (for the Cross Purposes album). It can only be stuff that's got the original four members on it. I did offer, and I went to see Tony Iommi and offered some things, and then he said we can't use anything new because nothing new can be released under the Black Sabbath name. There was some suggestion a while back that we might be able to put extra tracks and stuff on it.
I don't know when, and I don't know what it's gonna look like. I know that two record labels are releasing it. Martin: "All I know is that it's happening.
