UPDATE at 2:10PM: I got an email back from Geezer Butler about this story. I sent him the link, and he replied back with this: “since the band is called h&h, then hopefully the set list will consist of entirely rjd era songs, including the 3 new songs.” So it sounds to me like they […]
Heaven & Hell Tour Dates
January 13, 2007 by
Please note that this story is not “official”, nor is it “confirmed”. I’ve taken a little flak recently over my definition of confirmed. Let me say that I see that word thrown around so easily on the Internet without any regard as to what it actually means. People will believe the word confirmed when posted […]
Heaven & Hell gets moving
January 9, 2007 by
The 2007 tour for Black Sabbath er, Heaven & Hell is getting moving. While no official list of tour dates has come out, there’s been several rumoured dates, and a few festival dates around Europe talked about. Once the official list comes out, I will be posting it on my 2007 Tour Dates Page. The […]
New Track Information
January 2, 2007 by
Right as I left for the Christmas vacation, this news broke, and I wanted to make sure you saw it. Martin Popoff had an article for Bravewords.com about the Dio Years CD. Ronnie talks about the meaning behind one of the tracks (Shadow of the Wind). Check it out: Says Dio, “‘Shadow Of The Wind’ […]
Dio Years New Track Information
December 15, 2006 by
Overnight some new information about the Dio Years disc has come to light, so we’ll get straight to it. The music site “Brave Words” has an article which has an interview with Tony Iommi by our old friend Martin Popoff. This is significant, because it names the three new tracks and gives a description of […]
Vinny Appice on new Sabbath Tracks
December 13, 2006 by
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they’re calling themselves “Heaven & Hell”. Sod that – it’s “Black Fucking Sabbath”, and they’re putting out new studio tracks. I’m all over that shit, especially considering this is the incarnation of Black Sabbath that was current when I started listening to them in 1981. Anyway, now that my excitement (and swearing) […]
Bill Ward Shoulda Changed the World
December 13, 2006 by
I’ve just posted an excerpt from a seriously good interview with Bill Ward sent to me by Joel Gausten. Joel has a book coming out in the fall of 2007 entitled “Albums that Shoulda Changed the World”. He has a very lengthy interview with Bill Ward in the book, but he’s been very gracious and […]
Old Born Again MTV Interview
December 13, 2006 by
Here’s some old footage – I remember seeing this when it was new. I was so excited for Born Again to come out at the time – it was the first “new” record Black Sabbath released after I started listening to ’em.
Bill Ward Speaks (sort of) on Heaven & Hell
December 5, 2006 by
A day or so ago, I was forwarded an email from a fan (thanks Stephan) which purported to be from Bill Ward talking about (or more to the point badmouthing) the Heaven & Hell reunion. Here is the text that appeared in said posting, which had appeared on the Dio Message Board, and the forum […]
Black Sabbath: The Dio Years in April?
December 4, 2006 by
Over the weekend, rumour started to spread that a release date has been chosen for the forthcoming Dio Years disc (now downgraded from a box set). That date is supposedly April 3, 2007 – roughly four months from now. I’ve tried to confirm that date with Iommi’s management, but cannot. I also cannot find solid […]
