Kino.

You just like cover.

generic synthy 80s hair metal

>>127274832
Literal retard. Give me one example of a synthy 80s hair metal band that sounds like Black Sabbath on Headless Cross.

Tony should just tell Sharon to fuck off and tour again as Black Sabbath with Geezer and Tony Martin

>>127275081
the title track is literally just running with the devil
cheesy, synth drenched butt metal with loud, simplistic drum machine-like drumming and a generic coverdale clone
Get some taste, faggot

>>127275105
Fucking retard.

>>127275200
He's not wrong. It's pretty fucking shitty and it's obvious that it was created only to bring in some coke cash

>>127274813
NTA but it's quite a plain cover, why would this be what "fools" me into liking the album?

>>127274813
>>127275661
it was made to try to trick people into thinking it was a 70s sabbath album. when I was young I thought the little rock on the left was a house and the cross was a gigantic monolith, which I thought was sorta cool, but later took a closer look and its just a rock.

>>127275105
They will pretend to like anything that says Black Sabbath on it

Imagine you have to look/dress like one of these people for the rest of your life. Would you be confident asking women out? Or would you stay home to shred and play D'n'D?

>>127276550
that's not the Headless Cross lineup

>>127277568
OK, but the question still stands?

>>127276000
the debut and the heaven and hell album covers are also rather simple yet they're the best album covers the band's ever had
except they also had better music than headless cross to go with the covers

>>127276550
I couldnt get a chick dressed like that even with a &100 bill hanging out your pantsml. Could I at least have different hair?

Cross Purposes is the best Tony Martin era album

>>127274775 (OP)
>easy listening sabbath
lmao

>>127276550
>Or would you stay home to shred
I already do this anyways

>>127274832
I wish it all sounded like this instead of Whitesnake

100%'d

which rabbit hole next?

meh, its canon

>>127278845
mob rules and cross purposes are much better than headless cross
don't bother with tyr

>>127274775 (OP)
Not classic Sabbath by any means, but probably their best album since Mob Rules. Really like Devil & Daughter and Nightwing.

>>127275105
>generic coverdale clone

Nah he's got enough Dio in there to separate himself, I think. A Coverdale clone would be someone like Steve Lee or early Jørn Lande (who Iommi also worked with).

>headless cross
>that's just an upper-case T

>>127279380
According to Geoff Nicholls that was an intentional joke, yes. T for Tony.

Also it was the village where Tony Martin lived at the time.

Does Geezer make all the difference?
Ive only neglected Seventh Star, Tyr and Cross Purposes myself

>>127279474
>Seventh Star, Tyr
ignore these
>Cross Purposes
this one's okay, and yes it does have Geezer on it. Having him in the band might have an effect of lighting a fire under Iommi's ass, who knows

>>127279474
Seventh Star is a good but very dated melodic hard rock album - worth listening to for Glenn Hughes' vocals alone. Tyr is basically Headless Cross II but with the goofy occultist lyrics swapped out for Norse stuff. Also a Whitesnake ripoff power ballad and a song about St. Basil's Cathedral. Cross Purposes is okay, some alright songs and Geezer's back but it veers into Alice in Chains ripoff territory at times.

>>127278169
agree but i like all tm album

>>127279542
>veers into Alice in Chains ripoff territory at times.

virtual death lol. love it though

>>127279542
>Alice in Chains ripoff territory at times.
I mean AIC took a few hints from Sabbath (Dirt. Electric Funeral) so it's not that big of a deal, it's better than ripping off Van Halen and hair metal at least

>>127279802
AiC is hair metal worship lmfao

>>127280179
yeah, nothing says hair metal like Them Bones lmao
and no one cares that they were first called Alice N' Chains

>>127280199
You deny their glam influence the same way you suppress your own homosexual tendencies? unless of course, It Ain't Like That?

>>127274775 (OP)
Yes, but pic related is better.

>>127275105

>>127280279
Should have been a full on viking metal concept album and scrapped the cock rock ballad along with a couple others that didn't fit. The Sabbath Stones is the best Martin era Sabbath song.

>>127280408
Great points, but TYR is still peak Tony Martin though. It’s the best of that era.

>>127280253
>guy who listens to headless cross, poison, warrant and ratt calling anyone gay
nice joke, fag

>>127279542
>but it veers into Alice in Chains ripoff territory at times.
More Badmotorfinger Soundgarden in my opinion.

>>127280947
lmao jumping on the grunge trend and then jumping on the rap metal trend and having iced t make a guest appearance

>>127281343
You have never listened to Forbidden if you think there's any rap on it, you fucking retard.

>>127279474
>Seventh Star, Tyr
Listen to these

>>127279542
Tyr is more varied lyrically than people give it credit for. There's only 3 tracks about Norse mythology and one of them is an instrumental. It's nothing like HC where every song is deathdeathdeath satan blood satan death (except Nightwing which is about an owl)

>>127279542
Anyone who thinks of any music as "dated" is a real fag.
>>127281474
Cross Purposes has literally one of Tony Iommi's greatest riffs.

>a song about St. Basil's Cathedral

which one?

>>127281579
>Nightwing is about an owl
based

>>127282014
Heaven in Black, which is about the urban myth of Tzar Ivan IV, who was seen as a violent psychopath even by the standards of the 1500s, blinding the architects of the cathedral so they couldn't replicate it. It was inspired by Sabbath touring Moscow in 1989, with one of the shows being recorded and filmed with the intention of releasing it as a live album/video until the masters were stolen by the Russia mafia.
