Black Sabbath's bassist and main lyricist (in the early years of the band), Geezer Butler is currently promoting his autobiography "Into The Void" and in an interview with Full Metal Jacket (Transcribed by Blabbermouth), he praised Sabbath's overlooked vocalist Tony Martin. After years out of the streaming platforms, the albums with Martin on vocals were finally released in 2024. One of them, "Cross Purposes" had Butler as the bassist and lyricist. Geezer Butler praises ex-Black Sabbath singer Tony Martin There was just one album that I did with Tony Martin. That was — God, I can't even remember it — it's called 'Cross Purposes'. Tony Martin's a great singer, and he was good to work with. There was no big egos or anything. He got down to it when he needed to. And that was a good album for me because half of it was probably written by me, the music side of it." "I went around to Tony's (Iommi) one day and played him all this, 'cause I was doing a solo thing at the time. And I'd got tons of material. And I went around to Tony's house and played him some of the stuff that I'd been writing and he really liked a lot of it. So I think about half of it ended up on the album," Geezer Butler said. On "Cross Purposes", the band was also formed by Tony Iommi (Guitar), Tony Martin (Vocals), Geoff Nichols (Keyboards) and Bobby Rondinelli (Drums). Tony Martin was a member of Black Sabbath from 1987 to 1991 and from 1992 to 1997. With him on vocals the band released the albums: "The Eternal Idol" (1987), "Headless Cross" (1989), "Tyr" (1990), "Cross Purposes" (1994) and "Forbidden" (1995). All the albums of his era with the band were finally released in 2024 as part of the boxset "Anno Domini". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW2gGpDk2iM&list=PLNtjcqZPa3gaegPSFjwFHTubTbh4kWpL3&index=2The post Geezer Butler praises ex-Black Sababth singer Tony Martin appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was formed in 1964 in Jacksonville, Florida and they had the chance to release their first album in 1973. Sadly, their career was cut short at their prime with a tragic airplane crash that killed almost all the band members in 1977. The surviving musicians reunited in 1987 with Johnny Van Zant's little brother Johnny on vocals and since then they were touring around the world. The only constant original surviving member of the group after the reunion was the guitarist Gary Rossington who passed away last year. Even after his passing, the band decided to continue as Lynyrd Skynyrd and the guitarist Rickey Medlocke defended in an interview with WDHA FM (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar), the band's line-up with no original members. Rickey Medlocke defends Lynyrd Skynyrd line-up with no original members "There have been times that Gary… Several times, we would be on the bus, and at the time when he was getting to the point to where he was really struggling to be on the road, he was saying, 'I never want the band to go by the wayside, and the music just disappear along with myself and the rest of the original guys, only to just be heard on the radio, or just be heard by cover bands' or whatever." "So when it happened, Johnny and I talked and we…it was hard, it was a hard decision to do, but the one thing that was really powerful was, when it did happen, all the fans sent us, I mean, tens of thousands of stuff rolled in on the Skynyrd website, and each one of our websites and Facebook and Instagram and all that stuff." He continued: "The one deciding factor was the fans always said, 'Please don't let this be the end of it.' And so, with that in mind, Johnny and I decided, 'Hey, let's go to all the people that are involved, the estates. And let's talk to them, and let's see if we can't work it out, to where we take the band out, and we continue as Lynyrd Skynyrd,' because Johnny and I felt…" "Look, our time in the band, it is Lynyrd Skynyrd. Johnny, the original singer's little brother that's been there for, oh my God, since '87. I've been back with the band since '96 what? 28 going on, 29 years now, two and a half years in the very beginning. So my tenure is over 30 years with the band." Medlocke was a member of Skynyrd from 1971 to 1972 (Playing the drums) and returned to the line-up in 1996 as a guitarist. The band has many scheduled tour dates in 2024. They even will tour with ZZ Top across the United States. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQjQrYWrtFw&pp=ygUTa3lueXJkIHNreW55cmQgMjAyNA%3D%3DThe post Rickey Medlocke defends Lynyrd Skynyrd line-up with no original members appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

UTL COMMENT:- The most realistic action scene in film history? Sheer awesomeness!!!!!!! Very believable......! What movie is this from? Don't know and don't care - it's just awesome....! (PS - It's the weekend - let's have some fun)...!

????❤️.....otherwise it may fall down?? A water a day makes the ULEZ go away? And WTF is that green shit coming out of the watering can?? UTL COMMENT:- For those that don't know the ULEZ cameras have been installed in London so that people get charged $$ if they drive too often outside of their designated 'precincts'. It's all part of the BS NWO 15 minute city agenda. Basically turning your 'precinct' into some Gaza-like existence.

The general election in the United Kingdom revealed two things: First, that the incumbent Conservative Party has lost its mandate with voters, and second, that it is possible to count millions of votes in short order. Before the sun rose on July 5 in the U.K., the results for 648 of the 650 parliamentary constituencies had all been posted, and the newly elected members of Parliament had been certified and sent off to Westminster where they will form a new government under...

Rishi Sunak said on Friday he would resign as prime minister and Conservative Party leader after losing heavily to Keir Starmer's Labour Party, leaving with an apology, a tribute to Britain, and a call to protect "kindness, decency and tolerance". His defeat ends 14 years of Conservative government - a period marked by division, political instability and, more recently, economic pain. He hands control of the world's sixth largest economy to centre-left Labour...

Supporters of Hamas were seen chanting “Free Palestine” and “Death to America” through the streets of New York City on Independence Day. Protestors crowded 28th St and 11th Avenue to disrupt the fireworks show viewing party.    BREAKING: Hamas supporters march through New York, chanting genocidal slogans towards Jews. Moments before, they burned the American flag while chanting “Death to America” and “Free Palestine”. Today is the 4th of July, for God’s sake. pic.twitter.com/9ewq5EXA5A — Vivid. (@VividProwess) July 5, 2024 “Death to America” is a trending topic on X, with videos capturing supporters burning American flags and parading Palestinian and Hamas flags as a sign of protest. Protests were also seen outside Washington Square Park and the City Hall in Philadephia, where pro-Palestinian protestors were lighting American flags on fire. One protest group, Within Our Lifetime Palestine, tweeted that the demonstration was to “disrupt the 4th of July … making clear that these are our streets.”  Manhattan — At the anti-Fourth of July direct action, the extremists shouted, “Death to America” while trying to steal American flags from counter protesters. pic.twitter.com/RMhL5Gr8wL — Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) July 5, 2024 “You know what I think about the USA? It should burn! Death to America!” One protestor stated in a video. These protestors, who also openly supported Hamas, chanted genocidal slogans towards Jews and tried to take away American flags from the counter-protestors.  This is what July 4th looked like this year at the birthplace of our nation. Welcome to Multicultural America. pic.twitter.com/baQaqnUxWH — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) July 5, 2024 Many X users disapproved of the anti-American demonstrations. One user, @Keltic_Witch, tweeted, “If you’re an American, in America, shouting ‘Death to America’ — you need to internalize that America isn’t the place for you and move someplace else.”  The “Death to America” chant is an anti-American slogan used by countries like North Korea and Iran. The slogan was used by communists and made popular by Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, during the 1979 Islamic revolution.  The U.S. and Israeli officials have made “breakthroughs” in reaching an agreement with Hamas for a ceasefire.
