Black Sabbath Fan Site
I had a request or two to post my playlist for Deep Purple. As it has been known, I tend to want to do these things the RIGHT WAY, which means to cover all eras and all albums. My Deep Purple list is similar to the list I did for Ronnie James Dio’s career here… [Continue Reading]
If you’ve been following me for awhile (and especially on Twitter), you’ll know I like to post playlists. Given my overall music collection is so gigantic, I generally have a playlist for every band I like. I’ve posted several of them to twitter. However, this afternoon when I was thinking about Ronnie James Dio, I… [Continue Reading]
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Gene Kirkland, a photographer by trade about a new project he was involved in. It’s his new “Rock & Roll By the Pint” series of glasses. At first, I thought “eh”, it’s just a glass. But then when he said he’d send me a couple, I… [Continue Reading]
In the last couple of weeks I’ve come down with a pulled muscle in my neck that is made more painful if I do things that involve my hands. Such as typing for any length of time, and playing videogames. That’s why I’ve disappeared (somewhat). When this clears up, I’ll be back, but I… [Continue Reading]
When I started this new site format, one of the things I intended on doing was putting a few more personal kinds of posts on here. Ones that have some sort of relevance to the site. That’s what this is. A non Sabbath post that I thought would be of interest. Anyway, tonight I… [Continue Reading]
Generally, I don’t go off on stupid things people say, but sometimes it just irritates the heck out of me. Take this for example. About half an hour ago or so, I posted the story about Sabbath playing a lone gig in the US in August. Given the state of Tony Iommi’s health, one would… [Continue Reading]
A week or so ago when Bill Ward dropped that bombshell online about his contract situation and the Black Sabbath reunion, I was privy to it about 5 minutes before it was put online. As you probably remember, I handle Bill’s website, and his manager sent me that, asked me to put it on his… [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]
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]
When Ronnie James Dio died in 2010, I was reminded a lot of the two times I met him face to face. Both were backstage after Heaven & Hell concerts. The first was 2007, and I’ve chronicled that story on this site already, you can read that here. I never wrote about the second… [Continue Reading]
