The line-up of new writing and practice throughout 1984 and finally recorded a demo with producer Bob Ezrin in October. Not satisfied with the results, the band split soon after with Donato. Disappointed by the tread line-up grandmother bassist Butler left Black Sabbath in November 1984 to form a group solo. "When Ian Gillan took over that end of it for me," Butler said later. "I thought it was just a joke and I really let When we met with Gillan was not supposed to be an album of Black Sabbath .. After we did our album to give to Warner Bros. and they said they would put on the album Black Sabbath, and we do not have a leg to stand. I became very frustrated by it and Gillan was really crazy about him. it lasted one album and a tour, then it her. "
After leaving Butler, the only original member Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath pause, and began working on a solo album with the Sabbath of the Old keyboardist Geoff Nicholls. When working on new material, the original Black Sabbath line-up provides up to Live Aid charity concert by Bob Geldof;.

The group spent the rest of the year in the studio, recording what would become the seventh star. Warner Bros. refused to release the album as a statement of Tony Iommi solo, not to impose using the name Black Sabbath. Pressed by the band's manager, Don Arden, the two compromised and released the album "Black Sabbath with Tony Iommi" in January 1986. "This opens a Pandora's box really," Iommi says, "because I think if we can do as a solo album, he would have received more. " Seventh Star, which sounded like an album of Black Sabbath, the integrated elements of harder rock popularized by the rock scene Sunset Striphard the 1980s, and emphasized by critics of his era, although later reviewers such as Allmusic gave the album positive reviews, calling the album "often misunderstood and underestimated."

"I'm in the" project of Tony Iommi, but I'm not the nickname of Black Sabbath, "said Hughes. "The idea was that Black Sabbath did not appeal to me any Glenn Hughes sings on Black Sabbath. As James Brown, she has sung in Metallica. It does not work. "Only four days before the start of the tour, singer Glenn Hughes entered a brawl in a bar in the group's production manager John Downing who broke the orbital bone of the singer.'s Injuries disrupt the ability of Hughes to sing, and the band singer Ray Gillen to continue the tour with WASP and coal, despite nearly half of U.S. dates will eventually be canceled because of poor ticket sales.

After a failed attempt by the likes of Whitesnake David Coverdale, Samson, Nicky Moore, John Sloman and Lone Star, the group settled on the former Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan to replace Ronnie James Dio in December 1982. Although this project was not originally to be called Black Sabbath, the pressure of record companies have forced the group to keep the name. The group entered the Manor Studios in Shipton-on-Cherwell, Oxfordshire, in June 1983 with Bill Ward and carried back to the battery. Born Again was greeted with mixed reviews from fans and critics. The album reached number four in the UK charts and number 39 in the United States. However, even a decade after his release from Eduardo Rivadavia Allmusic called the album "terrible," noting that "Gillan blues styles and funny song is completely at odds with leaders of doom and gloomy."
Although he performed on the album, drummer Bill Ward was unable to turn because of pressure from the street and left the group after the start of the album Born Again. "I fell apart with the idea of touring," Ward said later. "I was so scared behind the tower, I do not speak of fear, I'm afraid to drink the back instead and it was a big mistake." Ward was replaced by former Electric Light Bev Bevan Orchestradrummer Born Again in '83 - '84 world tour (often informally called "Sabbath death Feigh '83 - '84 'World Tour) that began in Europe with Diamond Head and the United States to Quiet Riot and Night Ranger. Band called Reading Festival 1983, by adding Deep Purple song "Smoke on the Water" in their set list.
Born Again Tour supports the inclusion of a set of giant monument of Stonehenge. In a move that was later parodied in the mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, the group made a mistake in ordering a set piece. As a grandmother Butler then explained:
We have Sharon Osbourne's father, Don Arden, managing us. He came up with the idea of the scenery to be Stonehenge. He wrote the dimensions and give it to our tour manager. He wrote in meters, but he intends to write it up. The people who gave the impression of fifty feet instead of fifteen feet. It is 45 meters and does not fit on the stage anywhere if we just leave it in the storage area. Cost much money to be made, but there is not a building on land that you can put it.

"They are a totally different altogether", Iommi explains. "Not only is his wise but attitude-wise. Ozzy is a great showman, but when Dio happened is a different attitude, different voices and different musical approach, as far as Dio is singing. Singing in the riffs, while Ozzy will follow the riff, like "Iron Man" Ronnie came. and give us another way to write. "

When I go on stage, the scene is not so bright that it feels like I'm dying inside .. I think it looks so bare, Ron was there to do and I am "He's gone" I loved Ronnie. But the music, it's not for me ". Concerned about health declining Ward, drummer Vinny Appice has Iommi, without informing Ward. "They do not talk to me, they sacked me from the chair and I was not aware of what I know. They will be bring a drummer keep (tower), but I'm with the band for years, since we were little, and then Vinny was playing. and it was like "What the fuck? "It hurts."

During the process of mixing the album, Iommi and Butler fell out with Dio. The misinformation mixing time engineers, Iommi and Butler accused Dio sneaking into the studio at night to increase the voice volume. In addition, Dio is not satisfied with photographs of himself in works of art. "Ronnie wanted more say in," Iommi said. "And my grandmother would be angry against him and that's where the rot set in Live Evil is when everything falls apart Ronnie wants. To do more of things myself, and engineers that we use in both studio didn t 'know what to do, because Ronnie was telling him something and we tell him another. At the end of the day we just say, "That's this band." "When it came time to vote, nobody tells me what to do there!. Because they are not as good as me, so I did what I wanted to do, "Dio said later. "I refuse to listen Toliver Evil, because there are many problems if you look at credit. Vocals and drums are listed on the side. Open the album and see how many images there Tony, and how there's me and Vinny. "
Ronnie James Dio left Black Sabbath in November 1982 to launch his own band, and drummer Vinny Appice took with him.
