In fact, it took Butler less than a month to be banged up again — and this time, the circumstances were far more severe. The show promoter invited the band to his club for a photo shoot, which went so well that they returned later that night, at which point things started to go… not so well. There are differing accounts of what actually sent the evening off the rails, but everyone agrees the instigator was Gillan, who alienated the waitstaff by either pouring peanuts down the back of a waiter’s pants or actually lighting them on fire.

At this point, believe it or not, Sabbath still could have left without incident. But according to Butler, Gillan was stopped on the way out by a waiter, who noticed he still had a glass in his hand and asked him to either finish his drink or simply leave it behind. Gillan, who was presumably pretty impaired at this point, didn’t take kindly to the waiter’s request, which led to road manager Paul Clark socking one of the bouncers. At this point, all bets were off.

Iommi remembers things differently. In his Iron Man memoir, he recalled “fighting for our lives” against a swarm of assailants who were wielding “knives and martial arts nunchucks and everything.” According to Iommi, it was Gillan who vanished before things got violent; although he said the singer later claimed he’d fallen into a ditch, Iommi suspected he really just ran for safety.

One thing everyone agrees on is that Butler — who later quipped he’d “seen far too many films” — injured himself by shattering some glass. Intending to use it as a weapon, he instead sliced his finger up so badly that by the time he and Clark escaped, he was “covered in blood.” Unsurprisingly, this wasn’t enough to engender any sympathy from the police, who waited until Butler had been stitched up before carting him off to jail, where Clark was already waiting.

According to Butler, the arresting officer then hit Clark in the nose with his baton — and when they were finally released the following morning, they learned that the man Clark initially punched was not only in the hospital, but apparently had connections with a local gang, members of which were waiting for Butler and Clark outside the station. They managed to escape and find a different hotel, but Arden wasn’t taking any chances; that night and for the rest of the tour, he hired a passel of bodyguards to protect the group.

If Don Arden wished he’d never heard of Black Sabbath, Ian Gillan openly admitted he hadn’t heard Sabbath — at least not for over a decade leading up to joining the band. This caused some problems when it came time to tour, because while Gillan had done a fine job of penning the lyrics for Born Again, he hadn’t had an opportunity to learn the words to the songs that would make up a significant chunk of the set list.

As Iommi wrote in Iron Man, Gillan tried compensating for this by putting together a binder full of lyrics that he hid behind his vocal monitors. Unfortunately, all the dry ice-induced fog on the stage made it impossible for him to read the words, forcing him to scramble by stooping and frantically trying to blow it away. Needless to say, it wasn’t a perfect solution.

Ian Gillan’s place in the rock ‘n’ roll firmament has long since been established, but he wouldn’t be anyone’s first pick to compete in an Ozzy impersonation contest. Given that, it’s more than understandable that he’d be a bit skittish about covering some of the band’s greatest hits — and that Iommi would be open to improving the situation by adding the Deep Purple classic “Smoke on the Water” to the set list.

Things went from bad to worse after the tour opener. Seeking another theatrical twist, Arden hired a person of small stature to dress up like the demonic baby on the Born Again album cover. The idea, according to Butler, was for the actor to crawl around on top of the stones before falling off, crying, and going silent. In order to avoid actual injury, stagehands put mattresses in the spot where he was supposed to fall, but during one fateful gig in Canada, the mattresses weren’t there. “That,” wrote Butler, “was the end of the devil baby.”

The Stonehenge set was so big that it was not only difficult to ship and store, but it often couldn’t even fit inside the venues the band had booked.

Just ridiculous. We abandoned Stonehenge right there in America.”

They may have left Stonehenge, but Stonehenge has never left them — thanks in large part to This Is Spın̈al Tap, the Rob Reiner-directed mockumentary that has reduced generations of rock fans to hysterics with its (slightly) over-the-top depiction of music industry buffoonery and excess. During one particularly memorable portion, the members of Spın̈al Tap are upset to discover that the Stonehenge stage set they’ve commissioned has been built in miniature — a case of art imitating life so closely that it’s long been assumed the Tap creative team stole the idea from Sabbath’s own tour woes.

The problem with this, as Reiner pointed out in 2025, is that Sabbath toured with their Stonehenge set in 1983 and 1984, and This Is Spın̈al Tap was released in March of ’84, just a couple of days before the Born Again tour wrapped in Springfield, Massachusetts. “What morons,” he scoffed. “What did they think? They [thought] that we shot the film, we edited it, [and] we got it into the theaters in two weeks? I mean, it is ludicrous. But to me, that was the great, perfect heavy metal moment: that they were so dumb that they thought that we stole it from them.”

Reiner’s observation makes perfect sense, and it’s also nothing new; when he wrote Into the Void, Butler acknowledged that the Tap crew had long denied any actual connection. Still, he remained unconvinced. “I find that difficult to believe,” he wrote. “Not only did they have that Stonehenge section, but they also had combustible drummers, and we’d been setting fire to Bill for years.”

The original Black Sabbath lineup’s last man standing, Tony Iommi, was clearly grasping at straws on 1995’s dismal ‘Forbidden,’ which yielded no songs to write home about and was inexplicably produced by Body Count guitarist Ernie C. Luckily, the long-awaited reconciliation with Ozzy Osbourne was just two years away, albeit for touring, not recording purposes … for the moment.
