Earlier today I posted the winners and answers for the Black Sabbath / Dio CD giveaway. This afternoon, I’m here to continue the trend with the new CD from Ian Gillan, “Gillan’s Inn”. In addition to the giveaway, I wanted to tell you a few things about it, too. But before we get to the […]

Recording with Dave Donato surfaces
May 3, 2006 by
Back in 1984 after Ian Gillan left Black Sabbath to go reform Deep Purple, that left Black Sabbath in a quandry. Tony & Geezer were back at square one basically with no singer, and no drummer, as Bev Bevan was only on board for the Born Again tour. So Bill Ward was coaxed back again, […]

May 3, 2006 by
According to VH1, Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” has been voted best metal song of all time. However, their list is incorrect, as they say the song came out in 1971, it didn’t; it was 1970. Here’s VH1’s Top 10 list of metal songs. 01. BLACK SABBATH – “Iron Man” (1971) 02. GUNS N’ ROSES – […]
Dio & Iommi 2006
April 12, 2006 by
A few times over the last few months, I’ve seen reports that Ronnie Dio is rejoining Black Sabbath, or is working with Tony Iommi again, or they’re doing a new project, etc, etc, etc.. This report has cropped up again at Blabbermouth today. It’s definitely NOT new news, as this has come up before. However, […]

The subjects discussed in this edition Bill speaks at length on, so there’s not as many different subjects as he normally talks about, but what is talked about is talked […]
Black Sabbath Inducted into US Hall of Fame

The US HOF ceremony was last night, and Black Sabbath was inducted. Long time visitors to my site know my feelings on the Hall of Fame, but it is still nice to see them get some recognition. Although my gut feeling is that this is the last time we’ll see the four of ’em together […]

February 24, 2006 by
I wrote this for the issue of my site’s newsletter that went out today. Here we are on Friday, February 24th, 2006. The last issue of the newsletter was sent out on December 23rd, 2005. That’s two months since the last issue. So where have I been? Nowhere, actually. To be honest, right after the […]
