  • Bill Ward sang lead vocals on It's Alright from Technical Ecstasy and Swinging the Chain from Never Say Die.
  • Dave Walker never recorded, but an alternate version of Junior's Eyes exists with him.
  • Dave Donato was officially a member, but never recorded or played live.
  • Jeff Fenholt's position in the band is in dispute. I'm trying to straighten this out, but the Fenholt camp says they have pictures of him with the band and that Fenholt's uncredited for songwriting on Seventh Star. The Sabbath camp says he only "tried out" for the part.
  • Ray Gillen replaced Glenn Hughes about 10 dates into the Seventh Star tour, then recorded The Eternal Idol, and left before it was released.
  • The only surviving part of Ray's voice on the released Eternal Idol album is some laughing on the track "Nightmare".
  • Rob Halford sang for Sabbath in Nov 92 when Dio refused to open for Ozzy.
  • Ice-T of the band Body Count did a guest vocal on the song The Illusion of Power from 1995's Forbidden.
