There’s an upcoming drum clinic featuring former Ozzy band drummer Carmine Appice, and former Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice. Thought some might be interested in it, so I’m passing along the details from a press release that made its way to me the other day. Check it out:

May 11, 2014 by 13 Comments
Tonight I’m bringing you a site exclusive. This past weekend, Bill Ward held his Absence of Corners art gallery show in Anapolis, MD. To that, my friend Damian (who does a lot of the work on the forums here) interviewed Bill. Last night I posted a sneak peek of the audio, and tonight I’m […]

As you probably know, yesterday and today Bill Ward is in Annapolis, MD for a gallery exhibit of his Absence of Corners art. To that, I had my man Damian interview Bill Ward earlier today right when the second show was getting started. It was most kind of Bill and his folks to agree to […]

I don’t have time to write one of the giant 5,000 word essays at this time, but I didn’t want to let this anniversary pass. Today is the 25th anniversary of the Headless Cross album, originally released back in 1989. While technically the second Tony Martin era album, it felt like the “first” to me, […]

Earlier this week, Rhino released a box set called “Black Sabbath: The Complete Albums 1970-1978” on CD. As I said earlier on this site, and on Twitter, this is effectively the audio from 2004’s “Black Box” just reprinted. After having it in my hands for a few days now, this is indeed what it […]
