SABBATH IN HALL OF FAME FINALLY?

It hasn’t happened, but it might. Black Sabbath is one of the artists that has been nominated for inclusion in the "1998 Class" of inductees. Some of the other people up for nomination at the same time are: Paul McCartney (who is already there as part of the Beatles), Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Curtis Mayfield, […]

CONCERT TOUR UPDATE

The tour in support of Reunion is slated to start on December 31, 1998. The word has it starting in Phoenix, Arizona with Pantera as the opening band. I can’t get official confirmation of this yet – once I do, I’ll put it here. The plan is still for Bill Ward to play these gigs, […]

PROMOTIONAL TOUR UPDATE

The promotional tour where Iommi, Osbourne, Butler, & Ward will go out to record stores is still on the books. Actual dates and apperances are not known, but there is a rumoured October 20th "secret" live gig planned for New York. More as I hear it. There is also a rumoured appearance by Black Sabbath […]

LIVE ALBUM UPDATE

Reunion (final title) is due out in the States October 20th. I’m told that it’s already out in Japan – can anyone confirm this? Is there actually anyone over there who has it in their hands? Email me if so. If you want to pre-order it, you can do so by clicking here. I’ve also […]

SITE STUFF

I was away on vacation for almost two weeks this month, that’s why not much has been here. I’m still catching up, I’ll hopefully get an update here shortly.

US TOUR

The tour is now supposed to start on December 31st. The band will go into rehearsals after a short break following the autograph tour. Bill Ward is recovering nicely, and the plan is still for him to be behind the skins on the US Tour; however there’s no official word yet if that’s the case. […]

AUTOGRAPH TOUR

There will be a 12 city US Album signing tour to coincide with the release of the live album in October. There’s a rumour (that I cannot confirm) that Sabbath will play a secret gig somewhere in the states on the 20th of October. If I find out anything more about this, I’ll pass it […]

LIVE ALBUM UPDATE

The release date of the album seems to be set at October 20th. I’m still hearing the names Reunion and Songs from the Black Box as titles for the album. I asked Bill Ward’s people what it really was, and they didn’t know. If you want my opinion (and you probably don’t), "Black Box" is […]

TONY MARTIN & DON AIREY UPDATE

Tony Martin and I have been working together on an eponymous album by a band called "The Cage", which is masterminded by a wonderful Italian guitarist called, Dario Mollo whom I first met on sessions about ten years ago for his band "Crossbones". Then as now the producer is Kit Woolven. As far as I […]
