Seventh Star - Favourite songs?

[Paul]

As it looks hopeful we might get a Iommi/Hughes tour in 2005, I thought it would be a good idea to get everyone to vote for their favourite songs from Tony and Glenn.

Let's start off with Seventh Star and I'll post another separately for The 1996 DEP Sessions.

Take these polls as purely selfish for us fans - it's just a hope that our favourites will get included in any tour setlists

Hi,
that was difficult 'cos 7th Star was the album that made GH crazy person. The song I first heard from that album - actually from radio - was In For The Kill, so I had to choose that one.

When I bought this Sabbath album at a record fair many many years ago a asked the seller if the singer on this album was a good singer. (at this point I only had Dio and Tony MArtin sabbath records) and the seller said: yes this guy, Glenn Hughes, can sing pretty well ...... First I thought he jsut wanted to sell me this record but I soon found out this seller was damn right!

Anyway "Angry Heart" would be a real vintage song to hear live

[FD4]

I have yet to listen to all of GH"s music. I am learning rapidly that I have missed a lot of good, no strike that, Stellar music. For now I will stick with my newly discovered song "16 Guns" when I am in that frame of mind. I will always like "Coast to Coast" when relaxed.

For all the UK fans, carry on brothers and sisters we love you. Fred D.

I voted for Heart Like a Wheel, they surely must play this live

[captmidnite1962]

I was living in San Antonio TX back in the 80's and KISS 99.5FM was my radio station of choice back then. They were really hot on "Seventh Star" and gave it heavy rotation on their playlist. I always flash on "Danger Zone" when I think back to that time. I do recall hearing on the syndicated show "Power Cuts" before the album was released that Tony Iommi was going to use either Glenn or Steve Marriott to do the vocals. And the story they gave at the time of Glenn's departure was that his knee had given out and he had fallen face down and broken his nose. It would be several years before I heard the real story....

But "Heart Like A Wheel" would be killer to hear live!

Hello All,
I love the whole bloody thing! but my vote would go for "Angry Heart".

Cheers,

galleyfan

[toadsterama]

I'd love to hear The Sphinx...

[Grace]

Todd,

You are an evil man.........
and qualify as one of: "Them what needs killin' "





PS..........

For me "IN FOR THE KILL" was that kind of opener which an rock album just gotta have.
I voted for that song.
Talking about "Angry Heart", this was the song people around me always siad, its the song that sounds the most like DP because of the riff backed up with some hammond organ....

Well,where have you been gone during the seventies for not knowing who Glenn was...

[hughes/thrall_rulez]

angry heart song owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwns

i am no stranger to love owns

[MAZ1969]

Heart Like A wheel is simply intense. Glenn's vocals mixed with Tommy's guitar playing never get old. A close second was Angry Heart/In Memory

once again, it's fun seeing some new life breathed into some of these old threads. my vote has to ( and did) go to "heart like a wheel". ..."don't leave me standing here"

[KeepOnMovin]

Wow, i wore this album out when it was released. I don't know what happened to my copy. I haven't heard it in years.
I think i still have the concert shirt. On it is the drawing from the album sleeve, remember that?
The songs i like the most are "No Stranger To Love" and "Heart's Like A Wheel". They are still vivid in my memory. It was a tough choice but i voted for No Stranger To Love, which has created a tie for first place with Heart Like A Wheel at 15 votes each.
Now, it's up to the next entry to break the tie, or not.
The fortune cookie says "You must choose wisely".






... everyday, wheels are turnin'

[Avalon51]

Seventh Star is on of the highlights in Glenn's career . No stranger to love , Heart like a wheel and especially Angry heart/In memory are my alltime faves

Hi
There's some demos of this album "Seventh Star" with a guy called Jeff Fenholt on vocals, before Hughes joined Iommi's band. There are several jams and unknow songs, but at least tree songs that were used in the album, althought with different tittles and lyrics : "Star Of India" evolved into "Seventh Star" "Love On The Line" became "Heart Like A Wheel" ,"Take My Heart" became "No Stranger To Love", "Eye Of The Storm" became "Turn To Stone", and "Chance On Love" became "Danger Zone".
The demo is called "Star of India", soundboard sound and very nice voice (not just as Glenn's but nice).

Heart Like A wheel GOT MY VOTE ....

[Frost]

Danger Zone! It still makes me chill.
Great song.

[CrazyW]

No love for Turn To Stone? That's my favourite. They're all great though.

Seventh Star

[purplemusic]

I posted in this thread a couple of years ago. My favorite before then, then, and still, is "Heart Like a Wheel". Which, by the way, is still the top vote getter at the beginning of this thread
"You say you don't love me. You say you don't care, but don't leave me standing here".
peace,

[spatzi]

This album is so underrated, and overlooked, due to the 'Iommi' solo tage, and bad promotion. In spite of Glenn being in bad physical shape at the time, his vocals are great, and there isn't a dud on this album. I actually listen to this more than the Dio albums or anything post Hughes in Black Sabbath. It's heavy but still very melodic. This album is much better than the last album Hughes did with Iommi a few years ago, which just sounded like every song recycled the riffs from the previous one.

I love this Album! all the songs are tremendous and Glenn's singing is mindblowing. I ended up voting for "in for the kill", I luv how Glenn sings on the backbeat in the end of the song

see ya

[willem]

For me is Seventh Star one of the best albums ever made. On the same level as Burn, Stormbringer and Come Taste The Band. These three Deep Purple albums together with Sabbath's Seventh Star, belong to the Upper High Class HardRock Standard. Superb!

These four albums are featuring Glenn in absolute top form. And an absolute top album only contains good songs. Seventh Star is from beginning to end Glenntastic.

For the poll I picked In for the kill,for the enormous power of that song. Timeless! Also a big thanx to riffmeister Tony and drumbeast Eric Singer!

[bloodspoint]

I voted "In for the Kill".
