October 14 (yesterday) is just the date the article was released, it has no other relevance.

Personally I put no stock in anything Sharon has to say in the media concerning Black Sabbath. While I...

Yes, Martin recorded some demos with the band before Marcolin's return. He also performed a song with them at the bands 20th Anniversary show back in 2007. There's a nice interview with him included...

For what it's worth, I've seen Dio puffing away on cigarettes, with my own eyes as late as 2008 in Lahti. A few years ago Doug Aldrich also described Dio's songwriting process consisting of going...

The body can only take so much chemo at a time, they might continue it later if necessary. Radiation on the other hand needs to be administered at a specific location, so I'd guess that while the...

Yes, the Sabbath version of "Computer God" has been reworked quite extensively. I had a listen and the song I was thinking about was in fact "Master of Insanity" which is close to identical, both in...

Yes, that song does exist in demo form recorded around 1987 by the Geezer Butler Band. It's basically the same song both musically and lyrically, but as I recall Geezer didn't actually write any of...

Hearing the first Cage album 13 years ago, I was quite impressed. I had high expectations for the second one, but found it disappointing. I'd say this third one is crappier still. I doubt there will...

Maybe these people just know the history. Since that is really all we have to go on, I'd say the odds are against Ward being the difficult one. :)

To even suggest that Ozzy would somehow be retroactively entitled to money from any of the albums he wasn't part of is preposterous, so can you all just cut that crap, please. :doh:

The times I saw Black Sabbath in 1999 and in 2005, the weakest link in the band was definitely not Bill Ward. I doubt he's really too far gone to be able to pull it off this time either. I mean if he...

Back in 1998 Vinnie quit Dio to go on tour with Sabbath as a backup for Bill. He never got to play, not once. He got paid more for doing absolutely nothing than he would have playing in Dio.


...

Bill mentions that he's been getting "the cold shoulder" and doesn't know what's happening. So it would seem it's not just some greedy lawyers, but also Ozzy, Tony and Geezer that are out to screw...

I think it's downright criminal to market a tour with the original lineup without all relevant contracts signed by all involved parties.

It's basically like selling a brand product and, once...

Listen hippies, I would like to point out that many technologies developed in space or through the space program have resulted in major breakthroughs in the fight against cancer.

Equipment and...

Yes, but I'd say the reason it sold out was that it contained (at that point in time) previously unreleased material. By now it has been recycled so many times that you can get even one of the...

Agreed, for a re-release like this 2500 should be plenty. For example the Live at Hammersmith Odeon CD from Sabbath was limited to 5000, but that was previously unreleased material. :)

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and How Black Was Our Sabbath are probably the books I've liked best. Black Sabbath, Doom Let Loose and Wheels of Confusion were okay. Still, some of these book have so many...

Whether you meet Ozzy in a paid for meet & greet or elsewhere when he's on tour, it's going to be organized. His assistant and security people will see to that. This usually means you get your item...

Likely it means that he let the "success" go to his head (despite the band playing in half empty clubs mostly during his time). Sure Dio had a big ego too, but he had the credits to match, he was a...

It is the purpose and right of the free media to report the news as is becomes available, not to work as shills for corporate entities. I don't see why Tony Iommi or other Sabbath folks should be...

Based on the shows I've seen with Ripper (Judas Priest, Beyond Fear, Iced Earth, Yngwie Malmsteen, Hail! and his solo band), he's an okay singer but has absolutely ZERO charisma/stage presence. This...

The band photo (taken from the photo gallery on this very site) does not go with that press release obviously. :rolleyes:

I have met Ozzy a couple of times too, but it usually takes some time and effort and still nothing is guaranteed. I can totally undestand wanting to save the trouble and pay up. Still I'm a little...

It's an okay album, can't believe it's been SIX years already since it's release though. I think the only way for Tony Martin to keep his musical career alive is to tour extensively. It may not be...

I think there are a few different versions of this CD around. Some are just one disc, but at least the Japanese 2 CD version is the full show. I attended the show myself back in 2003 and it was...
