Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This second instalment in The Black Sabbath Story covers the period between 1978 and 1992. These were the wilderness years after founding vocalist Ozzy Osbourne left the group and it often seemed as though Sabbath had fitted their tour bus with a revolving door--by 1986, guitarist Tony Iommi was the only founder member left in the group. Five different vocalists are featured in this programme: Ronnie James Dio (ex-Rainbow), Ian Gillan (ex-Deep Purple), Glenn Hughes, Geoff Nicholls and Tony Martin.

The nine promo videos collected here are representatives of an era that all but the most die-hard of Sabbath fans have tried to forget. It is an ignominy that is richly merited. The kindest thing that can be said of this collection of awful 80s hair-metal soundtracking dreadful black-and-white videos of men with haircuts that not even German football players would be caught dead with is that it's an interesting period piece.

On the DVD: The Black Sabbath Story is presented in widescreen. Sound is available in Dolby 5.1 Surround or Dolby Digital. The menu of extras is badly laid out, but includes a gallery of Sabbath albums and further interviews with band members--including an extraordinary and hilarious reminiscence from Ian Gillan, which confirms that that Black Sabbath's reality was far more preposterous than any of the satirical conceits offered by This Is Spinal Tap.--Andrew Mueller

5.0 out of 5 stars No Ozzy - No Problem, 4 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Continuing on from where Volume 1 finished, and culminating in the classic 'Mob Rules' line-up, this is how Black Sabbath survived the departure of Ozzy Osbourne.
Powerful performances from a variety of line-ups, including front-men Glenn Hughes, Ian Gillan, Tony Martin and Ronnie James Dio, show that so long as Tony Iommi is there to hold it all together, the true Black Sabbath sound shines through.
Sabbath have been going for over 30 years now, and their music is still enjoyed by people who weren't even born when songs like Paranoid were in the charts, and this video shows why.
Includes the tracks Die Young, The Shining, Headless Cross and 9 others, culminating with exclusive live footage of 'I'.
A not to be missed experience for any Metal fan.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sabbath vol2, 15 Dec 2002
By Lousson (Samois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Sabbath - The Black Sabbath Story Vol. 2 [DVD] [1992] (DVD)
I admit, I enjoyed the heaven and hell album immensely, that is why i decided to get this DVD, to see the live performances of Neon Knights and Die Young. First of all, when watching the DVD, the performances are drowned out at the start and end of each song, with brief words from one of the members of Black sabbath. This often ruins the performances of each song. In fact, there appears to be more talking than hearing them actually play! Furthermore, most of the songs drag on the DVD, they plain suck! However, if you like these songs and the post Ozzy black sabbath, then I think you'll enjoy this a lot more than I did.

There are some interesting interviews and anecdotes from the ever evolving band members which some would definitely enjoy. But don't be expecting great music from the DVD as they tend to be spoilt by talking.
