Over the weekend, I noticed that the poll on the main page got stuck. You couldn’t vote in it. The data files on the server got locked, and in “unsticking” them, I had to end the poll. I’ve put up a new one, so go give it a vote. The results of the stuck poll […]
Bill Ward Interview
April 26, 2004 by
Today I was wading through the couple of hundred emails I have stacked up, and someone had sent me a link to a totally badass interview with Bill Ward. I can’t remember if I posted this link before, so if I did, excuse me for that. Either way, it’s an awesome interview, and you should […]

Ozzy’s Missing Albums
March 27, 2004 by
Every once in awhile I get asked what the deal is with Ozzy Osbourne’s 1986 album “The Ultimate Sin” is. When Ozzy remastered his albums for the first time in 1995, this album was part of the remastering sessions. However, when the second round came in April of 2002, “The Ultimate Sin” was deleted from […]
