Black Sabbath Fan Site
While I was out running errands today, the server tanked again. I should have guessed something happened, because the other Sabs (Ozzy, Tony, & Geezer) issued a statement today on the official Black Sabbath Website. It said: We were saddened to hear yesterday via Facebook that Bill declined publicly to participate in our current Black Sabbath… [Continue Reading]
Bill Ward just posted a bombshell on his website. Not quite sure what to make of it at the moment, but if you’ve been following the band, it seems like the same kind of thing that happened in 2004 again. Here’s what Bill posted on his site: Los Angeles, CA – February 2, 2012… [Continue Reading]
Today I received a press release for the upcoming Deluxe Edition re-releases of the first three Dio studio albums, “Holy Diver”, “The Last in Line”, & “Sacred Heart”. These three (well, not the third as much) are generally regarded as classics of the genre. I’ve been waiting for a decent re-master of these albums, as… [Continue Reading]
This evening, Geezer Butler posted an update to his website, detailing some of the progress around the new album, as well as some remarks on Tony and his cancer diagnosis. Check it out: Greetings Earth people, Today [Jan19th] we got the engines back up and running @ Tony’s home studio. Far from being down and… [Continue Reading]
NOTE: The Winners have been picked. Once I get a chance to notify everyone, and hear from them, I’ll post the winners list. Something my site has been doing for ages now has been giveaways. Mostly they’re tied to some new release of something, where I’ll give away copies of that. But this time, the… [Continue Reading]
Early on in this site’s life, I was called a “data crazed fanatic completist” by someone reviewing my site. That’s one of the more inventive things I’ve been called, so that phrase has always appeared on the site since I first heard it. It’s part of the reason why I was driven to make sure… [Continue Reading]
The new site is live – finally! I started working on this in some capacity in the morning on Tuesday the 17th. Due to some family issues, I didn’t get started in earnest until about 4PM or so. During this time there were some server issues, including an attempt to spam bomb the site, so… [Continue Reading]
Welcome to the new version of the Black Sabbath Online website. This has been a long time coming. For a couple of reasons. The old site has been here a long time. It’s served me and the community well, but it was launched in January of 2000, and given this is January 2012, TWELVE years… [Continue Reading]
This just posted from the Official Black Sabbath Facebook page. With the news that Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi has been diagnosed with the early stages of lymphoma, his bandmates would like everyone to send positive vibes to the guitarist at this time. Iommi is currently working with his doctors to establish the best treatment plan–the… [Continue Reading]
If you’re a Black Sabbath fan, especially a long time one, you’ve seen Henry a bunch of times. Thing is, most people didn’t know he’s called Henry. He’s something akin to Iron Maiden’s “Eddie”, although Henry has never come out on stage live. :) Henry is of course the “flying devil” or “flying angel”… [Continue Reading]
