A very interesting piece of video cropped up today in my inbox, I wanted to share it immediately. As you might remember, 1987 was a very turbulent year in the band’s history. The album that came out that year (The Eternal Idol) turned out to be a quite solid release, despite it’s gestational nightmare. In […]

October 31, 2012 by 23 Comments
Read last night where Black Sabbath is supposed to announce 2013 tour dates for Australia. It’s been awhile since Sabbath has been there. A quick check of the official sites doesn’t show anything, but the news comes from Live Nation, the promoter down there, so it’s likely happening. Still, having said that, remember […]

The Volume 4 album is 40 years old today (depending on what time you read this). It was released September 25, 1972. Totally killer, really heavy album. Check out my site’s discography page for info on the album, and ordering links if you don’t own it (in which case, why the hell are you […]

Back in 1971, Black Sabbath released their third album, Master of Reality. On that album is one of the more unusual songs in the band’s entire recorded catalogue, that being “After Forever”.

May 27, 2012 by
It’s come to my attention today that there’s several people that still don’t know who is drumming in the band. I’m not quite sure HOW that is possible, so I wanted to make one short post that should leave no doubt.
Birmingham O2 video

Short and sweet. here’s some video from the gig yesterday. I remember going to see concerts in the 80’s and getting bootleg video on VHS back then. The stuff that is called “bootleg video” in 2012 makes bootleg video from back then look like something you’d pull out of your arse. Some of […]
