Cozy Powell

I love almost anything that he does.

There's some stuff out there that's a little obscure, but he formed a band initially with Ray Gillian and Cozy Powell, but they left pretty quickly because they had other opportunities.

So in walks Carmen Aposy and Tony Franklin to form Blue Murder 1989's self-titled album...

I'm sorry.

Clem Burke in Blondie, super important.

I even feel Cozy Powell when he gets into Black Sabbath or into Rainbow because he's got such a forceful will.

He drives vision.

He's a little bit of a Lars Ulrich figure, so he drives vision.

Thinking of a different shot.

Taken from the soundtrack to Hot Fuzz, as it turned out, that was Cozy Powell with Dance with the Devil, as suggested by Papa Irish.

So thank you very much to Mr. Papa Irish for that one.

And ahead of that, you heard Matt Berry, Devil Inside Me from 2013, as suggested by White Wolf.

But here's a little rumor, if you will.

Bunny Carlos claims that Cozy Powell... told him that he was the drummer when Stevie Wonder recorded that.

Well, at this period of time, Stevie had been playing all the instruments on his albums, hence the genius term, right? And it seemed, is it true? Who's to say? Certainly not me.

Start off that segment of music there with a track from Howlin' Wolf as done by Jeff Beck Group.

That was Assault Attack from Michael Schenker, the only album to feature Mr. Graham Bonnet on the lead vocals.

And if Cozy Powell had gotten his way in 1982, along with MSG's manager, Peter Mensch, the singer might not have been Graham Bonnet.

It might have been Mr. David Coverdale.

And if Michael Schenker hadn't have put his foot down and said, no, I want Graham Bonnet, DC might have been fronting MSG.

Oh, yeah.

Cozy Powell.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Um, he's got, um, Cozy Powell on drums.

Oh, yes.

One of the strongest drummers in the world.

It's, uh, I'm gonna describe a person, a, a musician, and you have to see who I am.

Who am I? I'm an English bass player, and I've played with Cozy Powell, Colosseum II, Gary Moore, Whitesnake, Brian May, Vow Wow, the Japanese band, and Black Sabbath.

Who am I?

Uh, I'm gonna guess Glenn Hughes.

Yeah.

Great bass player.

I saw them in the four-piece Whitesnake with Sykes, Cozy Powell, and David Coverdale.

Oof.

Usually it'll be like the first or second track on each of these albums that he has that Dio theatricality that almost sounds like Dio.

So it's a very, you know... good um kind of transition into it the thing that i really pulled out of this headless cross i agree with bc that album kind of blew me away uh cozy powell's drumming fantastic really great uh obviously he kind of went on to kind of co-produce some of these albums with with tony iommi also brian may does the solo in when death calls So come on, it's Brian May.

This might be like a new favorite Black Sabbath album for me, Headless Cross, because I really, really enjoyed it.

And I found it really funny.

Yeah.

beatmaster v all right

yeah these two albums are definitely different the keyboard the keyboards i think kind of for me kind of they it saves it for me but uh i would love to just grab songs off of you know cross purposes and forbidden and kind of make one album because there are some really weird stuff on there but i i think cozy powell i think he played i think he drums great on forbidden he does it's just it just they're just it's kind of all over the place for me um i that's probably the only only thing i could actually take from that if if i was able to you know make a make one album off of those two albums.

And then the Cross Purpose is live.
