Sabbath Crosses

Back in late July, Blackstar Productions in Argentina sent me a copy of their Black Sabbath tribute CD called “Sabbath Crosses”. I haven’t had a chance to give it a proper listen until now (for that Fernando, I’m sorry). I shouldn’t have waited so long, it’s a wonderful CD! I’m here with a track by […]

Tony Iommi & Jethro Tull

Tony Iommi’s Daughter

Something that’s always come up over the years is questions of the various Sab member’s offspring. Ozzy’s are rather well known, but the other guys are more secretive.
