Writing Credits

* All songs by Butler / Iommi / Martin
* Except Evil Eye by Butler / Iommi / Martin

is the Butler / Iommi / Martin different from Butler / Iommi / Martin ?!?!?!
i think, at first there was Van Halen on the second Butler / Iommi / Martin...
but now its wrong...

[fondula]

Yeah I thought "Evil Eye" had an Eddie Van Halen credit on it.

[Wicked Cricket]

Yes, evil eye did have an Eddie V-H credit, he and Iommi are good friends, Iommi stops in to see him whenever he's in LA.

[Ellbery]

All songs were credited to Tony Martin, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler. "Evil Eye" was written by Martin, Iommi and Butler with Eddie Van Halen, but Van Halen was not credited.

[Wicked Cricket]

Yes, there is a special thanks from "Black Sabbath" to Eddie Van Halen, and Bill Ward as well. I think it was an interview with Iommi that he mentioned EVH playing or comming up with the riff on Evil Eye...wonder what th ethx to B. Ward was for? I think Cross Purposes is the best Martin era record in terms of over all songs and lyrics and sound, I think having Geezer there was a big plus.

Absolutely agree. I would go so far to rank Cross Purposes as one of the top 5 Black Sabbath releases. In terms of vocal performance, soul crushing-thunderous bass work, searing solos and monstrous riffs, all driven to the edge by Rondinelli's fierce skin work and with solid production work & mixing, I listen to CP at least once a week. And I bought the original release in 1971 as a 5 year old. I've been a Sab fan forever and I maintain that Cross Purposes just rocks.

Ah yes, Rondinelli, I knew there was somethng else about that record that I really liked.... I think he's much better then Cozy Powell, who's playing was never that interesting to me, he plays ahead of the beat and just blasts (speeds) away, Bobbie Rondinelli reminds me of Bill Ward, he makes music with his drums. A very very good drummer... another paycheck from Tony to Ritchie for that one eh?

1994? 1971? I'm confused.

[IommiRules]

1994? 1971? I'm confused.

Why are you confused? I have been a Sabbath fan since 1971. I am hardly a "new" fan. I use 1971 as a point of reference, showing that even an old Sab fan can love one of the newer albums.

1994? Not sure why you brought up this year, unless you believed that I thought it (Cross Purposes) had a 1971 release. Peace.

Yeah, I knew you didn't Think that it came out on 71, I thought it was a typo. Funny. I started playing my dads Paranoid album at around the same age in 1978. Unfortunately the only song I played for years was Iron Man over and over again.
