BLACK SABBATH NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY AWARD

<snicker> You may have noticed that Black Sabbath was nominated for a Grammy Award recently for the song "Iron Man" off of their Reunion album. I find it amusing that Black Sabbath is even nominated, and for a 30 year old song, too. Yeah, yeah, I know it’s a recent print of it, but yeesh! […]

THE FUTURE OF BLACK SABBATH

Well, after the NEC gigs in late December, not much has been happening. Sabbath itself is supposed to be “done”, but you know how these things go – they’ll probably do something together next year. :) There are no “secret plans” to play somewhere, and I beg of you PLEASE STOP WRITING ME ASKING IF […]

BLACK SABBATH’S 30TH ANNIVERSARY

As you probably know by now (from the countdown on the main page), this past Sunday (Feb 13th) was the 30th anniversary of the release of Black Sabbath’s first album. This thing still holds up extremely well 30 years down the line – and kicks the shit out of most everything that’s been recorded since […]

NATIVITY IN BLACK II ARTWORK

No release date yet for this thing, but I’m still guessing Spring 2000. However, I did turn up something that a lot of you are really going to be interested in. I’ve dug up what is supposed to be the artwork for the album. Remember how the first one had pictures in the liner notes […]

WEB FORUMS COMING SOON

I’m going to be putting web forums on the site shortly. Here’s some text I sent out over the last two mailing lists that addresses this issue (didn’t feel like re-writing the text): Folks, I’ve been mulling this idea over for some time now, and wanted to throw it open for discussion. Getting right to […]

SITE UPDATE

Back with another update. That pesky thing called "real life" has been intruding. My real job has taken just about every moment I have online lately, and "the paycheck" will always get attention first. :) Anyway, here we go with a bunch of news:

WEBMASTER UPDATE

Welcome back! We’re all still here in 2000 (like that was ever in doubt). I’m back online, after spending the last two weeks on vacation, with my family over the holidays, or being sick again. :) I intend on getting a new issue of the mailing list out on Tuesday or Wednesday, and I hope […]

TONY MARTIN UPDATE

In going through my Black Sabbath email today (the first time since before Christmas), I found this one. This was submitted for the mailing list – but I thought given the nature of the material, I’d just post it here. Has anyone heard any more about this issue? If so, please email me. Thanks. From: […]

THE CAGE ALBUM AVAILABLE!

Found out something I wasn’t aware of before. The album "The Cage" by Dario Mollo which has Tony Martin on vocals is available in the States! Well, sort of. Amazon’s site has it available, and they list it as an import – so technically it’s not a domestic release, but at least the folks in […]

OZZFEST 99 TOUR REVIEWS

The long overdue reviews from Ozzfest 99 & the Summer US tour are finally online! I know it’s been a long time coming, but the more I let getting them done slip by me, the larger the project became, and the less I really wanted to work on it, since I don’t have as much […]
