I never understood why people didn't like this, all my friends and I love this record.

Born again is one of the greatest albums ever, even the song born again Is a colossal master peace

Heaven & Hell, Mob Rules, then Born Again. How is it even possible that Sabbath created 3 steller records in a row. This all after their amazing run with the Ozzman. Simply amazing

One of the best and heaviest Sabbath albums ever.

Joe Elliott talking about when he heard "zero the hero" for the first time he said "what is this shit" and threw the tape out of the window, well Joe, that's the same EXACT thing I did to every album you did after Pyromania...😂🤘

Born Again is a great album!

Best Black Sabbath álbum!!!! It is heavy and dark. Ian Gillan fitted perfectly with Black Sabbath, voice wise and lyrical wise.

Born Again has actually aged really well like Never Say Die! has.

Sabbath fans didn't like Smoke on the Water ? Concert footage shows the crowd LOVING IT. Everyone loved it when I saw them in Long Beach

If not for people's fear of change and insecure biases, it would be pretty obvious that Gillan's voice is an even better fit for Sabbath than it was for Purple!

Great doc, what a time. No one mentions ‘Hot Line’. It’s the best party tune on the album. The highest screams from outta nowhere towards the end. Fkn killer track. Wicked album, wicked cover.

born again is in the top 5 black sabbath albums. it just kicks ass

One of the best albums of all time

A great album. For a Gillan fan like myself, truly, you can't go wrong. Ian kills it on every single track.

21:10 I'll be honest with you, Born Again is far better than any album Def Leppard ever did, dear Joe.

I really don’t get all the hate for this album. I bought it when it first came out, it was the first time I’d ever heard Sabbath and was the first metal album I’d ever heard. I loved it and still do. To say Gillan didn’t fit with Sabbath is just nonsense IMO.

The title track "Born Again" has become my favorite Sabbath song. Iommi's atmospheric, emotive guitar playing along with the awesome lyrics, "The distant shadows of forgotten champions/Those who live in me still/And will rise when we challenge and kill, " and Gillan's vocals that are rivaled only by Purple's "Child in Time," make this a killer song. Also, I was twelve when I first heard "Zero the Hero." My dad and I were stacking wood from the lawn on the farm into the garage. It was dark, cold, and the wind was howling. My dad went inside for a few minutes, and all of a sudden the radio station played "Zero the Hero." Let's just say it left quite an impression on me. All this negative talk about this Sabbath album with Gillan is ridiculous. Like any art, some people love it, some are indifferent, and others hate it. I am still thankful for it 38 years later!

I love this Album!!!!

Ian Gillan could do an album with the Backstreet Boys and it would be monumental.

I hate the fact that the album sound quality is bloody awful. That said, this album ROCKS! KILLER album cover, great lineup. Its heavy, dark & doomy, everything you could ever want in a classic sabbath album. Zero the hero. Trashed, disturbing the priest, hotline, keep it warm. Arguably one of the bands GREATEST albums!

This is my favorite Sabbath Album. Gillan in his prime and by far the heaviest Album of Sabbath.

John McCoy is only bitter because Gillan disbanned the GILLAN band and joined Sabbath instead.

One of the greatest rock albums ever made!!! The baddest ass vocals and songs I never grow tired of listening to...incredible imagery!!!

I absolutely love this album. Cheers to Purple Sabbath!! lml

This album kicks you in the balls and never says sorry...Hell yeah 🤘 😎 🤘

Best, heaviest, hardest most awesomeist Black Sabbath album ever!!

Born Again came out when I was in 11th grade and every metalhead I knew loved it. My best friend’s dad was in the music biz and painted the cover on his little brother’s jean jacket. Kid was in 4th grade and got suspended. His parents went in and raised hell and his little bro got to wear his Born Again jacket again!

When Tony gets this album remixed it is going to be like hearing it for the first time. Great songs on this album.

The Born Again song is one if the deepest most gorgoues songs ive ever heard.

Dude this album is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard. I think sabbath themselves including Ian and alot of the fans give this album undeserved hate. This album has so much zeitgeist flayer to it!

Most UNDERRATED Sabbath album EVER ! ! !

Deep Purple & Black Sabbath are my 1a & 1b favorites, so when Gillian joined Sabbath I was super excited. I love the album & the tour. The remix with live extras is a must to own.

I love Born Again!!!

Oh man this album is so dark. Ian fitted like a glove. Shame they didn't make more albums with him.

Watching this documentary kind of inspired me to give Black Sabbath 's "Born Again" album a listen and explore new sounds!!!! (At least to my ears a new sound!!!! LOL!!!!😂😂😂😂) In 1983 !!!! I was more into Def Leppard, Billy Squire, Billy Idol,Van Halen and Motley Crue and AC/DC and The Scorpions!!!!! 😄😄😄😀😀😀😀😊😊😊🙂🙂🙂🤗🤗🤗🤗 When Dio left Black Sabbath I thought the band was pretty done and finished!!! Well that was my thought process then!!!! LOL!!!!😂😂😂 I was only 12 years old in 1983!!!! I'm now 51 years old now!!!! Hee hee!!!😊🎶🎵🎶🎵 Supposedly older & wiser!!!! Still haven't lost my love ♥️ for Heavy Metal and Hard Rock music!!!! 🎵 🎶🤗😄 P.S. : I also listened to Iron Maiden's "Number Of The Beast" and "Piece Of Mind" back in 83!!!!! I was kid then!!!!😄😁😄😀😊🙂🤗

This record has always been an odd favorite of mine. Thanks so much for compiling the footage and music videos at the end. You went above and beyond, and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Born Again is very good, mu favorites songs Zero to Hero, Born Again and Priest..

This is my favorite Black Sabbath album

This Album is an Underrated Beast.

One of my favorite sabbath albums.

Back in 1983 Deep Purple and Black Sabbath where my two favorite bands and they still are, and Gillan is my alltime favorite singer. I was shocked with delight when I saw that Gillan was their new singer and I loved the album. I saw them on the Born Again tour and loved Gillan's version of the old Ozzy & Ronnie songs. My friend & I were calling for Smoke on the Water for the encore. The album cover is horrendus and they did suffer some Spinal Tap moments, but the music is superb. If you haven't heard the remix with some of the live stuff is bonus tracks, then I highly recommend giving it a listen.

A W E S O M E ! ONE AND ONLY GILLAN! BLACK SABBATH WILL NEVER DIE!

Such a fantastic album!! Not a bad track on the whole album.

Phenomenal album!!!! Trashed, Zero The Hero, and one of my favorite tunes ever Keep It Warm!!! The mix just adds to its charm. (Though I see how it could drive the band nuts..)

5:46 when it cuts to Gillan screaming after Geezer says "Ian Gillan, bloody' ell what's thats gonna sound like" was absolutely gold lmao

There's nothing "wrong" with the album. To me the issue is Ian's overpowering voice, he makes everything sound like Deep Purple. That is NOT a putdown, it's a compliment and I hope it is taken so!

Awesome. My favorite non Ozzy Sabbath album and one of my favorite Sabbath albums overall.

very underrated sabbath album.people have always said it was a bad mix and levels were too high,true,but i think thats what gave it a cool and unique sound.and also great songs . zero the hero,trashed,born again and a song that to this day still scares the shit out of me , disturbing the priest.cool doc would have been better if the footage was better quality but it was over 30 years ago,

Great job. Thanks for making and posting this video. It brings back a lot of good memories for me as it was the first time I saw Black Sabbath live on this tour (with Quiet Riot opening a week after "Metal Health" went to #1).

Those people are crazy this was the best album Sabbath ever did by far even their first two albums this one is so much Advanced and has better riffs heaven and hell is a close second

Love this LP -- one of my favorite Sabbath albums (one of). Gillan's one of my favorite vocalists & vocal inspirations. His high notes could break glass in a few of these tunes.

One of the best Sabbath albums.

All the Sabbath fans I knew back in the day loved this album and this line up, it was a sold out tour for a reason. I didn't get to see the tour would've loved to. My brother had a tour shirt for this tour.

Their best and heaviest album!!! I don't understand all the bitching about it being badly produced!?? It sounds AMAZING!!

Of all the legendary stories about this time period the one Mick Wall mentioned in his Sabbath book the one I laughed the hardest at was that a unidentified Sabbath member when asked about the album cover said "It was Aimee Osbourne's baby picture." When Sharon heard that one you knew it had to be good

You have to understand 1983 to understand what this was, this was mind blowing never before heard music at that time, much like diary of a madman. this was into territory never before seen. to look back and judge from today is foolishness. unless you lived it STFU.

I bought Born Again when it came out in1983 and it’s still my favorite album of all time from anybody. I don’t think more than 6 months passes before I listen to at least part of that album still today 40 years later.

This documentary much like born again and every show I have heard from the tour totally kicks ass! Nice job and thank you!

8:30 Gillan saying sabbath's music was completely incompatible with anything he'd ever done... WHAT? Black Sabbath and deep Purple incompatible? For me it was a perfect fit, just like Dio in Rainbow or Coverdale in Purple. It's the same family tree

This album rocks to this day

This was my fourth or fifth rock concert (particularly memorable because I bought the first of many bad bags of mushrooms in my early concert career) with Quiet Riot opening, and it still stands as the loudest show I've ever seen.

Always loved that album.

@Icefyre, THANK YOU for putting this together. Excellent.

For years I've been praying for a remix of this album, amazing songs but its like listening to it wearing earplugs or something. Those songs deserve better.

That album was badass ! I freaking love that album. I wish Ian would have did more with Sabbath.

Love love love this album despite the sound quality. The backstory is amazing. Great video about a classic album.

I loved this record and actually saw this tour in Philly at the Spectrum w/opener Quiet Riot !! #riprjd #ripkevindubrow#riprandyrhoads

Saw Sabbath with Dio and then I saw them for this album. Everyone was looking forward to this incarnation, I thought it was a great combination. Keep it Warm is still one of my favorite Sabbath songs from this album. They were great live, Bev Bevan on drums. I almost forgot about that. Bill Ward was not on drums. Great show!

Absolutely a Great Album! Bought it when it came out and after all these years I still listen to it alot. 🤘🤘🤘

I always loved this album. It was great when I was a kid. I don't understand all this downputting or what is the word, it is not a bad album at all. Maybe not a genuine Black Sabbath thing but not as bad as people make it to be. For me as a kid it was good, and I still think it's better than what came after that. I liked the next few albums but that was it. I still admire Iommi for all he's done and that's it. If you don't have anything good to say then don't say it. Like what you like and don't like what you don't for f...'s sake.

I've always liked this Lp, it brings back so many memories of a Dear friend. It sounded so different from things being released at that time, thats why I liked it when it was released. Music is an Emotional time Machine, ✌

Good record. Ian's screams and laughter sounds much more evil than Ozzy and Dio.

zero hero is possibly my fav sabbath song and thats saying a lot considering the iconic songs in the sabbath catologe

Joe Elliot.....Ian’s voice never sounded better!!!!!!

Awesome album

Born again smashes 13

Loved the album and one my favorite concerts.

I hated when mainstream journalists would do those uncomfortable no nothing interviews with bands they don't know. That one where the woman says "Tony Iommi you were with the original band why don't you introduce everyone else" as Geezer sits there uncomfortably like "Hey bitch, I've been in the band since the beginning too."

One of their best! Hopefully it does a remix! Trashed, Disturbing the Priest.....enough said.

Ian you were not the worst singer Sabbath ever had, Ozzy was the worst (singer) but by far the best front man! I love this album and think Ian fit in great with Sabbath, Ozzy and Ronnie will always be the best of course!

classic album. just bought it on DIGI, maybe i have it all formats now. so they filmed two videos the same day? brilliant and totally underated.

I like the album zero the hero is a great song and born again

I bought this in 83, I was 15. It scared the hell out of me and my friends however, it grew! Now, one of my favorite Sabbath LP's. I think this LP showed off Ian Gillian that he never had the chance with Deep Purple. Ian Gillian is the best screamer I have ever heard In my life time!

I love this album! One of my favourites!

Thx to whoever is responsible for this video. Loved the bonus clip. Thank You Thank You Thank You. As lot of hard work went into this production. Very informative., I must comment why no one ever reference's the track sequence as Trashed through ZerotheHero is all joined togathet kinda like a concept album,,,???

Absolutely badass record. I got it when it was released and immediately fell in love with it. This will forever be one of the most unique albums Sabbath or Gillan ever did.

Tonys trying to get this remixed and mastered, glad it will hopefully get its due

I saw this tour in San Francisco, I was stoned, had a blast 😎

Born Again is one of my favorite albums from anyone. I also believe understanding the context under which the album/lineup happened, the recording process, the challenges it faced even existing, makes it an even greater listening experience.

Love this album! Absolutely! And I mean no remix needed! It’s perfect as it is: weird, heavy and dark

Fucking great album

A milestone, underrated classic.a monolith.best Sabbath album.a Testament.i live exactly as it sounds.the mix is not Bad as everybody complain.get the 2cd Deluxe Edition.one of the best gillan vocal Performance of His carere

I love this album

I have always loved this album...

I wish so badly there was footage of the show with the dwarf and druids on a Stonehenge stage.

Very much one of my favorite albums

Heavy Metal Music was hugely popular in 1983 Priest, Maiden Accept, Saxon and Motorhead were all hitting the big time plus Dio and Ozzy were both having successful solo careers so Sabbath needed another vocalist to keep the fire burning

Thanks for the posting of this Rock-Doc (5-years ago)! The key to enjoying this "ALBUM" from 1983, is to TURN IT - THE F4CK - UP! All the way... Bone Rattlingly, Window Shatteringly, "Someone PLEASE let me out of this Room", LOUD. It is not subtle. There is nuance, but Headphones are not the intended delivery mechanism. If you can't feel the air moving the bass overtones through your body, you are missing the point of the exercise. "Good Life is Contradiction...", "...'cause there was Nooo Te-quila-aaah!", The very best use of Ian Gillian's voice since "Superstar". "Well, - Bless - My - Sooo-oh-oh-OH, Yeah, HO!" Tremendous.

An absolute masterpiece! My favorite Sabbath Album. My favorite album, period.

Great Doc!
