Not Ozzy, not Dio, that other guy…

You know that there were more than just two different singers in Black Sabbath over the years, right? I mean, beside Ozzy Osbourne and Ronnie James Dio. No, not Dave Walker. Not Ian Gillan, Dave Donato, Jeff Fenhold, Glenn Hughes or Ray Gillen either. I’m talking about Tony Martin, who actually spent more time with Sabbath than Dio.

He’s often forgotten when people talk about Sabbath, so it kind of made me chuckle when I read the Blabbermouth headline “Former BLACK SABBATH Singer TONY MARTIN: ‘Music Is A Worthless Art These Days’.” Don’t ask, I’m not sure why it made me giggle like a little girl. Maybe because the “Forever alone” meme came right into my mind.

Anyways, you should give this interview a read, which heavymetal.about.com conducted with Martin because it’s pretty interesting. I can’t say that I fully agree with him, but he’s got some interesting points.
