The guy had long hair, and looked like a rock musician, but they just pulled Him out of the street for the shooting of the Video. Later on, they auditioned Him, and He was turned down really quick. Maybe that is the one you mean, but I have no idea what His name is.

Jerusalem, He recorded for TYR, and there is another version on "Back where I belong", the first Martin's Solo Album.

Did Geezer Butler write any lyrics for Cross Purposes?
No I don't think he did, he only really told Martin to stay away from mythological and fantasy-styled imagery.

For what specific reason was Tony Martin told to to introduce Geezer Butler during the bass solo of Time Machine?
I don't know. A qualified guess would be that they wanted to show the audience that this was not another "Headless Cross", but that it was still "more Sabbath" even though the Dio reunion ended recently.

Did Tony Martin ever sing 'Sign Of The Southern Cross' live?
Yes, he sang a part of it on some shows on the TYR tour in 1990.

What was the only song on TYR to not be performed live at anytime?
That would be "The Battle of Tyr" I think? Or maybe "Valhalla". I think that "Feels Good to Me" was played once or so, I know "Odin's Court" was played once or so, and the others were played at various times so yeah...

Can you name all the Black Sabbath band members in the band with Tony Martin, that he later on worked with?
Cozy Powell, Geoff Nicholls, Neil Murray... I think that's all of them, don't think he ever worked with Bobby Rondinelli.

Which one of these songs has Tony Martin performed with his solo band?
The Sabbath Stones
or
Heaven In Black

Not sure, I would guess "Heaven In Black" for some reason...

Yes he did. They then began talking about how to "get rid of Martin".

Tony wrote a song about a dream he had, which one was it?
I have no idea, I would guess at "Nightwing" maybe?

How many of the B-side and Japan only tracks can you name?
"Some Kind of Woman", "Cloak and Dagger", "What's the Use?" and "Loser Gets it All"

Who audition to play bass in 1987 but in just ten minutes time was told no?

What Sabbath song did Martin re-record for another album later on?
Jerusalem, on the "Back Where I Belong" album.

Just some dude, a guitarist pulled right off the street for The Shining video.

I found this: The bassist on the video was some guy that we pulled in off the street. He was actually a guitarist, and he just stood in for the video. When the shoot was finished he asked if he could audition for the bass player position, but when we tried him out he just didn’t cut it. So back out on the street he went. He kept saying that he was a reincarnate red Indian, and that his spirit guide was some famous chief!!!! But that’s his claim to fame, I bet NOBODY believes him, can you imagine just getting shoved in off the street to audition for Sabbath. then getting kicked back out the door!!!

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I'm going to say 'The Cat', but I'm probably wrong.

No, not "The Cat" but probably a better name than the one he would get in the navy,

In the years I've worked in support of the navy, I've had dealings with two different officers called Tony Martin and both had the same nickname. I probably wouldn't have given it much thought if it had only been one, but both meant it was a naval tradition.

Anyway he would have got the nickname "Pincher" after a fearsome Admiral Martin of the mid-19th century, who made a name for himself by solving crimes and abuses!

[tcantafio]

Just a little more info on the b-sides and Japanese bonus tracks. I did some research and although a lot of the b-sides are not unreleased or unique tracks, there are a lot more singles from this era than I thought. There are 19 actual b-sides.

[Pink Led Rush]

I'm not accusing anyone of cheating as that would be silly, but wouldn't it be really easy to just scroll down and look at others answers? I thought you said the first to be the closest would win right?

[EDTRADER]

I'm not accusing anyone of cheating as that would be silly, but wouldn't it be really easy to just scroll down and look at others answers? I thought you said the first to be the closest would win right?

Good question! I just said 'first right wins' like all the other quiz and game shows.

""More hints :
For what specific reason was Tony Martin told to to introduce Geezer Butler during the bass solo of Time Machine?
Gloria Butler called Martin and said "fill in the blank""

I thought Gloria Bulter called Tony Martin during the Cross Purposes tour and told him that if he didn't name check Geezer during the bass solo during Time machine then he'd be fired.
