Those who have followed me and this site for some time now know I’m a big fan of the band’s ENTIRE history. Not just one part of it. The band’s been around since 1968 in some version or another, and in all that time, there’s been about 31 people play (officially) under the banner of […]
Ozzy Interview on XM
February 8, 2012 by
Today, the XM Satellite radio re-branded their “Boneyard” metal channel to be called “Ozzy’s Boneyard“. As part of the initial launch, there was an interview with Ozzy where he talks about the Black Sabbath reunion now, as well as Tony Iommi’s cancer. While I was unable to listen due to a personal comittment, a friend was […]
Thoughts about Current Events [ UPDATED 2 ]
February 8, 2012 by
A week or so ago when Bill Ward dropped that bombshell online about his contract situation and the Black Sabbath reunion, I was privy to it about 5 minutes before it was put online. As you probably remember, I handle Bill’s website, and his manager sent me that, asked me to put it on his […]

The Sabs respond to Bill
February 3, 2012 by
While I was out running errands today, the server tanked again. I should have guessed something happened, because the other Sabs (Ozzy, Tony, & Geezer) issued a statement today on the official Black Sabbath Website. It said: We were saddened to hear yesterday via Facebook that Bill declined publicly to participate in our current Black Sabbath […]
Bill Ward Out of Reunion? Maybe.

Dio Deluxe Editions
February 1, 2012 by
Today I received a press release for the upcoming Deluxe Edition re-releases of the first three Dio studio albums, “Holy Diver”, “The Last in Line”, & “Sacred Heart”. These three (well, not the third as much) are generally regarded as classics of the genre. I’ve been waiting for a decent re-master of these albums, as […]

Collectorz Music Catalogue Software
January 19, 2012 by
Early on in this site’s life, I was called a “data crazed fanatic completist” by someone reviewing my site. That’s one of the more inventive things I’ve been called, so that phrase has always appeared on the site since I first heard it. It’s part of the reason why I was driven to make sure […]
I’ve launched!
January 18, 2012 by
The new site is live – finally! I started working on this in some capacity in the morning on Tuesday the 17th. Due to some family issues, I didn’t get started in earnest until about 4PM or so. During this time there were some server issues, including an attempt to spam bomb the site, so […]
