...aaaaaaaaaand we're back online !!! :grin:

In the end, it was only a glitch in the system. I finally could get the domain name back : http://www.iommifacts.com

Enjoy :)

Hey there. It's been a long time since I came here. Funny I fell on this thread as I was working on the website today. The Tony Iommi Facts website should be back online soon. The thing is, following...

I remember an interview with Rondinelli where he said that, at the end of the tour, his then manager tried to renegociate his contract with Iommi without asking Bobby about it. Apparently, Tony...

I haven't read many Russian novels. I've started Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita" a few years ago but I never finished it. The pacing was too slow for my taste. Now that I'm a little older,...

Tough question but I think it's 'She's Gone' for me.

You're most probably right about this show taking place in Bruxelles. Plus, the place we see in the video doesn't seem to look like The Olympia in Paris and the credits on the "Rock of the 70s" TV...

No one's actually really certain of the date of this gig but it has always been said as being from December 1970 (19th or 20th), so this means it was after the European release of "Paranoid"....

I wouldn't call myself a KISS fan but there's a lot of things I like in their discography, even though I'm not as much into their studio work as I enjoy their "Live" releases. I know these are...

Yes, that's right :)

Excuse me, my mistake !!! I keep on saying harmonica when I mean saxophone. On "Breakout", the saxophone is where the vocals should have been :)

There was no "debate" per se. Originally, when the song was written and Dave Walker was part of the band, "Breakout" had lyrics. When Ozzy came back, it's well known he refused to sing anything...

I LOVE THIS !!!! :grin:

I believe it was for the same reason he refused to sing on "Breakout" : he hated the song (remember Ozzy described NSD as being the biggest shit he ever sang on). For "Breakout", they replaced the...

Actually, I remember hearing that the records company was already working on a compilation of unreleased tracks something like two years ago. I remember the music critic who announced this said he...

That's right. Quite a lot of Ozzy=good/rest=crap 'fans' actually are casual listeners who only know the first two or four albums. What they like is the heavy sound. What I was pointing at was that...

I agree with you. There are bias like you describe. I never quite got why when someone tells he doesn't like this or that album, then people wouldn't just let go and accept everyone has their own...

RAISM - Killing Machine (good old fun from the 90s :grin:)

"Tyr" tour => about 40 concerts given in Europe
"Dehumanizer" tour => 12 gigs in Europe, with 6 of them in the UK and two other being festival appearances.

During the "Dehumanizer" era, all the...

This is no brainer for me : "Technical Ecstasy" all the way. Not only I find it's a better album than "Never Say Die", but I actually really love it. It may be the 70s era Sabbath album I listen to...

When I first heard "Back to Black", I thought "This girl has everything it takes to be the next Janis Joplin". Unfortunately, she kind of became the next Janis Joplin, except Janis gave us three...

I can't believe these albums you listed are out of print ! I'm glad I got them when I could... Good luck finding them.

I have several bootlegs from this tour, and while it's true that the setlist was a good compromise between the Ozzy, Dio and Martin eras, it's also true that "Iron Man" was part of the regular...

Dio already had a hard time accepting to perform material written for the guy who was in the band before him, so did you really expect he would agree to perform material from someone who came in the...

When I think of Ozzy, "Steal Away (the Night)" is the first song that comes to my mind. It's a much better rocker than "Crazy Train" to me (and I love "Crazy Train").

Not yet but I keep on reading great reviews about them and I've been willing to give them a go for quite some time. Any album in particular you'd recommand for starters or should I go chronologically...
