Here’s a link you might want to check out. It’s a 20 minute video interview (done on Sep 22nd) with Vinny Appice where he talks about a ton of musicians he’s worked with, and tells several stories. Some of the names he hits on are John Lennon, Elton John, Ronnie Dio, Black Sabbath, Rick Derringer, […]
Albums that Should have Changed the World
November 15, 2006 by
This is a bit down the road, but I thought I’d run this, especially as I haven’t updated in awhile. The two chapters spoken about are no longer on his site, as the three week period for them has expired. But I do want to make people aware of the book which is called “Albums […]
Black Sabbath Resurrection
November 15, 2006 by
What the heck is this? Does anyone know? I’ve been getting emails off and on for awhile now asking me what this is, and to be honest, I have no idea. I even went so far as to email Tony Iommi’s people and ask them. Here’s what I said: http://www.blacksabbathresurrection.com/ I have to admit, I […]

No new news on the Dio front
October 21, 2006 by
Since I posted that news update about a month ago about the Dio shows, the box set, etc… I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking “what’s going on”. Just wanted to post this and say I’ve already told you what’s going on. I don’t know any more secret dirt on what I’ve said already. […]
Old Born Again Video
October 16, 2006 by
I’ve seen this video before, it’s been ages since, but I remember it well. I remember it as being one of the few times Black Sabbath has mimed on television. The audio is the same stuff from the Born Again album. Does anyone remember what show this was on, and in what country? If so, […]
Heaven & Hell Rising in 2007?
September 28, 2006 by
File this story under the “very interesting rumour” department… I’ve gotten quite a few emails about this subject today, and I wasn’t planning on saying anything quite yet, but the fact that I keep getting emails has prompted me into saying something. There is a story running today that claims that Ronnie James Dio, Bill […]
Play Black Sabbath on your Playstation 2
September 11, 2006 by
I don’t know how many of you are aware of the videogame Guitar Hero, but it’s a game where you pick up a (fake) guitar, and play notes in accordance with what’s happening on the screen. The game was rather popular, as it fed most people’s fantasies of being a “Guitar Hero”. Guitar Hero let […]
New Geezer Butler Journal Entry

Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler has updated the diary on his website. It’s been awhile since the last one, but this update has a couple of cool tidbits. One is the mention of the next GZR record (yes, there will be one), as well as some of Geezer’s other interests, one of which is amateur […]
