Adam Wakeman on Keyboards for Sabbath’s 2005 Live Dates

Overnight I got an email from Adam Wakeman who handled keyboard duties (what that they were) on the Ozzfest 2004 gigs.

A news story posted this afternoon over at blabbermouth says that Ozzfest 2005 will hit the US with Black Sabbath & Iron Maiden headlining. Along with that will be a “classic” version (read not the current version) of Anthrax. While it’s really cool we have Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden on Ozzfest, I’m a little […]
