One of the worst songs recorded by this lineup.

Exactly. Why do people get so upset when comparisons are made between albums from different lineups? "Oh, you prefer 13? You must be a Dio hater", etc... It's silly.

I just caved and gave it a listen. It's probably my second favourite of the new songs they've played.

I think he meant 'End of the Beginning'.

Early reviewers compared 'Loner' to 'N.I.B.' Would you say that's an accurate comparison?

I never thought I'd say it -- 'End of the Beginning' and 'God Is Dead?' were great teasers -- but now they're overdoing it with the new songs. So far they have played four songs from '13' and only...

I'm glad the're calling one of the songs 'Naïveté in Black'. I've always thought it would make a great title for a Black Sabbath song.

Good quality audio:

Cross Purposes has the same number of original members on it as the last three Dio-era albums do (Geezer and Tony). Why is that album not a Black Sabbath album, but Mob Rules is?

I'm not a fan of Hell to Pay. It's the only song on the album that I skip. The rest is gold though.

The exact same thing happened with the people around me at the second Auckland show - I mentioned it in my review too. I'll never understand it. People are paying big money for what will most likely...

Blizzard of Ozz: 5
Diary of a Madman: 5
Bark at the Moon: 4
The Ultimate Sin: 3
No Rest for the Wicked: 3
No More Tears: 4
Ozzmosis: 1
Down to Earth: 3
Black Rain: 2
Scream: 1

Hand of Doom.

That sounds more like speculation than anything else. I'm not saying there can't be a deeper meaning behind the title, but really - it isn't an original title. Many bands have used it before and...

Vinny would have ruined the album for me. I can't stand his playing on Dehumanizer and TDYK. I'm glad they found someone else better suited for the role.

If Tony, Ozzy and Geezer undermined Bill's contribution to the band, they wouldn't have bothered searching for a drummer that played like him to play on their new album. They are aware that Bill was...

This album is incredible... I'm blown away.

You're welcome. :)

The last minute of the interview is funny as hell.

No, they didn't play it.

But before they played Sabbath Bloody Sabbath/Paranoid, Tony started playing the riff to Cornucopia and Ozzy gave him a funny look.

It has been my dream to see Black Sabbath play live, and tonight that dream finally came true. After sitting through a nauseating half hour set by New Zealand's very own version of Nickelback:...

Keith Richards doesn't do coke anymore.

Reporters were told before the band arrived that they weren't allowed to ask Ozzy any questions about his personal life - and if they did, they would be kicked out.

How does Ozzy sound in the videos? My bandwidth is capped, so I can't listen to them myself.
