The folks over at Sanctuary Records today made me aware of something very cool that I’m sure you’re going to want to check out. Sanctuary’s UK site how has an online E-Card available for the album. The biggest attraction with the E-Card is that they have 1 minute sound samples available for all 8 songs […]
Ozzy & Tony helping with cancer research
September 18, 2004 by
From Joe: This event has already happened, but I wanted to post it here because of the pictures, and because of the fact that it’s something the mainstream press would never want to cover – a band named “Black Sabbath” doing some good charity work. Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne joined guitarist Tony Iommi in an […]
Tony Iommi on Weather, New Sabbath Album, & Guitars
September 18, 2004 by
Just a few hours before Black Sabbath’s Ozzfest show in Tampa (Sept. 2), guitarist Tony Iommi’s thoughts were on the weather – and it wasn’t just because hurricane Frances had caused their scheduled tour finale in Miami to be cancelled. Weather had made the entire Ozzfest tour a different experience for him. “It’s been going […]
Black Sabbath Book Update
September 18, 2004 by
www.rockdetector.com executive editor Garry Sharpe-Young has been working on a leviathan account of Black Sabbath’s complete recording history from the earliest demos through to the ‘Reunion’ album and, possibly, beyond. Already having two highly praised Sabbath related titles under his belt, ‘The story of the Ozzy Osbourne band’ and ‘Black Sabbath – Never Say Die’, […]
More Book Stuff
September 18, 2004 by
It’s also been brought to my attention that I have not posted a review of the book “How Black was our Sabbath: A View from the Crew”. One of the authors (David Tangye) was kind enough to send me a copy of his book awhile back, and I read it. And loved it. It’s a […]
Master of the Moon Availability Problems
September 18, 2004 by
The new album from Dio (Master of the Moon) is out now. It came out about 3 weeks ago. However, I’ve been getting some emails from folks saying it’s hard to find. I personally went and looked for it on the day of release. My first visit was to Best Buy in Mesquite Texas (I […]
Ozzy Out – Rob Halford back in Sabbath
August 27, 2004 by
Yup, this morning when I checked my email, I got quite a surprise. About 20 or 30 people who had attended the Philadelphia Ozzfest gig wrote me to say that Ozzy did not sing with Black Sabbath. Rob Halford of Judas Priest handled the vocal duties for this gig. This wasn’t the first time Rob […]
Release Date for Ohmwork
August 27, 2004 by
Ohmwork is the name of the new solo album from Geezer Butler. There’s little information available on it (as Geezer’s website is in a perpetual state of “Coming Soon”). Website vtue.com is reporting the release date as Tuesday, January 18, 2005. More info as I get it.
Master of the Moon Out Next Week
August 27, 2004 by
The new album from Dio (Master of the Moon) is due out next week. To that, there’s a very good and lengthy review of the album you should read. It’s online here at Electric Basement. His review pretty much sums up mine. I’ll write a full review later, but I have to say the album […]
Another Eighth Star Update
August 26, 2004 by
First off, before I post the update, I wanted to say why I haven’t had any update in a couple fo weeks. Last week was my birthday, and I also found out a week ago that I’m going to be a father for the first time. I’ve had a few othe things on my mind […]
