COZY POWELL & GARY MOORE

1989 - Gary Moore - After The War

The last album of the era for Gary, and the last of a kind for Gary as well. Moore's 1989 release features a much welcomed return to the metal guitar stylings of his earlier albums. Cuts like "Speak for Yourself" and "Running From The Storm" are certainly up to the standards set on "Cooridors of Power" and "Victims of the Night." However, there are some hints of what was to come as well with the bluesy "The Messiah Will Come Again," which heralds Moore's new birth as a blues guitarist. Ozzy Osbourne makes a guest appearance on lead vocals in the tongue and cheek track "Led Clones" which takes a pot shot at bands like Kingdom Come and Great White, who while having platinum albums at thetime, were obviously borrowing their entire sound and image from Led Zeppelin. Ozzy also does some background vocals on "Speak for Yourself." Gary once again pays tribute to his childhood friend and musical brother, Philip Lynott in the emotional song "Blood of Emeralds". Overall, this album is so far superior to the pop leanings of his last album "Wild Frontiers" it's literally like comparing apples and onions. Once tastes sweet, the other just stinks.

COZY POWELL with BLACK SABBATH

1989 - Black Sabbath - Headless Cross

Black Sabbath was still the band we all know and love. This album showed that they could fight to maintain a powerful position in the metal world. Tony Martin really takes the cake here because he outdoes everyone and proves he is just as good as Dio and Ozzy.If you're going to be an ass about who sings on this album, then you're an arrogant prick and you have no idea what you're missing. Headless Cross is without a doubt a classic.

Track list:
1. Gates of Hell
2. Headless Cross
3. Devil & Daughter
4. When Death Calls
5. Kill in the Spirit World
6. Call of the Wild
7. Black Moon
8. Nightwing

Line up:
Tony Iommi – guitars
Tony Martin – lead vocals
Geoff Nicholls – keyboards
Laurence Cottle – bass
Cozy Powell – drums, percussion
Brian May – guitar solo on "When Death Calls"

1990 - Black Sabbath - Tyr

It’s a strong album. Stronger than I remembered, especially Tony’s Martin’s voice. The live show must have been great because Iommi and Powell are always top-notch and I believe Martin to be at his vocal peak of his career. The guitar is always the highlight on a Sabbath album but Martin truly shines, which is one of the reason’s why a reunion of the HEAVEN & HELL lineup (with Dio) shouldn’t have happened following this album/tour.

Track list:
1. Anno Mundi
2. The Law Maker
3. Jerusalem
4. The Sabbath Stones
5. The Battle Of Tyr
6. Odin’s Court
7. Valhalla
8. Feels Good To Me
9. Heaven In Black

Line up:
Tony Iommi – Guitars
Tony Martin – Vocals
Neil Murray – Bass
Cozy Powell – Drums
Geoff Nicholls – Keyboards

1995 - Black Sabbath - Forbidden

If this is to be the last studio album from Sabbath, then it is certainly a disappointment. Tony Martin has called the album "total crap," and Geoff Nichols has said that "the album was recorded in ten days and it shows." So even the band members aren't behind this release, and it seems the album was recorded just to fulfill contractual obligations to IRS records.
Many Sabbath fans point to 1983’s BORN AGAIN (with Ian Gillan on vocals) as the most poorly produced Black Sabbath album due to it’s “muddy” mix. Those fans can now turn to FORBIDDEN for that title.

Track list:
1. Illusion of Power
2. Get a Grip
3. Can't Get Close Enough
4. Shaking Off the Chains
5. I Won't Cry for You
6. Guilty as Hell
7. Sick and Tired
8. Rusty Angels
9. Forbidden
10. Kiss of Death

Line up:
Tony Iommi – guitars
Tony Martin – vocals
Neil Murray – bass
Cozy Powell – drums
Geoff Nicholls – keyboards

Additional personnel:
Ice T – vocals on "The Illusion of Power"
