What in the hell does Charles Manson have to do with anything? What a bizarre example. Yeah, it was the music biz which led to his sick, insane behavior.
Also, you ask what Kerslake and Daisley did...

Oh, absolutely I do. But, his books from the get-go are like that. I agree it shouldn't be that way, but when it comes to a biography (and Martin usually states that his books aren't really written...

These remasters are frickin' fantastic as always from Universal. The remastering by Andy Pearce and Matt Wortham is (at least to me), very open and clear sounding. I don't think they ever sounded bad...

Stay FAR, FAR away from McIver's book "Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath". It is a joke, as are all of his sloppily, poorly researched books. It is so fucking bad it's insulting. I knew I was in trouble when...

Sabbath were way more popular than BOC in 1980. Heaven And Hell went Platinum and Cultosaurus Erectus did not even go Gold. Do the math. However, BOC were still a successful band, just not on the...

That would be my guess. I'd love some demos/rare tracks, but I'm thinking just live material. Also, from what I understand "Time To Burn" IS on the Sacred Heart remaster. I hope so. I also hope Andy...

I can say it is official and all three 2 CD remasters are now up for presale at AmazonUK with a date of March 12. Cover art is also up for all three releases!
Each are listed at 11.99 UK prices and...

OK,
These Dio SHM-CDs have been pushed back to March 7 in Japan. Only Last In Line and Sacred Heart will be deluxes. But here's where it gets interesting.
AmazonUK now has listings up for 2 CD...

Um, 2013 isn't this year.

Horrid news to hear about my favorite guitarist in the world. And, I just got the Iommi book for Christmas and have been reading it, so this really sucks.
My hopes and prayers go with Tony in his...

You know, I've bought a lot of Martin's books over the years, because who else is gonna write books on UFO and Blue Oyster Cult?
But, he is not a good writer, something he does more or less...

Don't know if this had been posted already, but this is cool and frustrating news. But it looks like Warner Bros has zero interest in the US as far as the Dio catalogue. So, at least these 2 albums...

Well, I'd freeze my nuts off and be very bored thinking of what happened in The Thing (why are they ruining that with a remake???). I know this isn't totally Metal, but for shits and giggles....
...

Some odd comments from TM in Classic Rock Magazine (what is he referring to as far as the albums being removed?). Personally, I'd have much more interest in a Martin-era reunion than anything else!
...

How can ANYONE make a statement of udder idiocy as above? It was all downhill, huh? Do you sit there in the nude watching Three's Company repeats with the brilliant acting of Don Knotts and say,...

Yes-on the 1990 Tyr tour, Martin sang "Heart Like A Wheel", but that's it from that album and nothing from Born Again.

What the hell is Hair Metal about ANYTHING from the Martin era? Does "When Death Calls" echo White Lion in some way? Do you think of Warrant as you hear "Virtual Death"? And, do you break out the...

Huh? There's no bass at all on Rising. The only prominent bass is on the alternate mix on the album and that's the way it was originally recorded/mixed. I STILL have to turn Rising up because the...

You do realize those albums are amazing Jazz Fusion/Hard Rock albums with insane musicianship? Oh, never mind-you just bought the Men Without Hats box set and are dancing nude to it right now.

You kinda lose any credibility (if you had any to start with) by claiming TE and NSD are Sabbath's two BEST. Two BEST? Better than Paranoid, Master Of Reality, Vol. 4, Heaven And Hell, Mob Rules,...

Who the hell is Johnny Blase?

The Black Box set is terrible for audio and the storage of the discs is lame. The Sanctuary/Universal remasters are fantastic both from a sonic presentation and visual with the new liner notes and...

But how's the eyesight? :grin:

Like all of the Deluxe Editions from Sanctuary/Universal these were done by Andy Pearce and expertly so. Leagues better than the Rules Of Hell box which I promptly sold.
You simply cannot go wrong...

Just read Joe's post which confirm every bit of what I said! It's all accurate. The Thin Lizzy situation was botched due to laziness and the band literally at the last minute pulling the remasters...
