During the show, you will also hear an interview with Tony where he talks about his past, present, and future.

	I, for one, liked Tony Martin's albums with Sabbath. I think he received a lot of unfair critism (which, by the way, was what I think the song "Feels Good To Me" was about) by the press and other musicians. He probably would have gotten more praise if the band wasn't named Black Sabbath.

	COMMENT \| Ever notice - posted by : Itwalksamongus 5/6/2006 5:26:48 AM

	- they never say "ex-Black-Sabbath-singer Ronnie James Dio"? There's a reason for that. Sad, really.

	COMMENT \| Great Singer posted by : Nyarlethotep 5/6/2006 11:32:40 AM

	Great Singer, the Sabbath albums Eternal Idol, Headless Cross and TYR are really underrated albums. Great stuff, love his solo album as well. Ill pick this up.

	COMMENT \| Sadly Underrated!!! posted by : MODULATOR 5/6/2006 2:03:54 PM

	GREAT SINGER, GREAT SONGWRITER and GREAT PERSON! "Scream" is awesome album, just like his first solo effort "Back Were I Belong" (1992)! Check out new Giuntini Project III and Empire "The Raven Ride" really beautiful releases! I agree with everything that is been writen above me... Here are essential Black Sabbath albums with Tony Martin: 1. "Headless Cross" (1989) - MASTERPIECE 2. "Tyr" (1990) - MASTERPIECE 3. "Eternal Idol" (1987) - ALMOST MASTERPIECE 4. "Cross Purposes" (1994) - ALMOST MASTERPIECE 5. "Forbidden" (1995) - VERY, VERY GOOD HAIL TONY MARTIN!!!
