Wanted to pass this along. I received an email from a Heaven & Hell spokesperson on behalf of the band. They had this to say about the non inclusion of “Neon Knights” the last couple of nights. Here it is: The band would like to apologize for not having played Neon Knights in Jones Beach […]

August 8, 2008 by
As most of you know, I’ve done several articles based on individual Black Sabbath albums. I recently ran across an article done by Dan Marsicano on the 1976 release, “Technical Ecstasy”.

The Rules of Hell Box Set Review
July 25, 2008 by
Back in 2004, Black Sabbath released “Black Box”, the definitive remastering of the original eight studio albums with Ozzy.

Not much happened then […]
