Hot on the heels of the July 4th Hyde Park show comes this little tidbit I found in my inbox tonight. Cover art for something that should look awfully familiar to some people, who were excited about the new Black Sabbath studio release from last year. We’ve been hearing rumours of another new Sabbath […]

Bloody Valentine

A few weeks ago I happened upon a song that was released in Feb 2013 that I completely missed. It features an artist I had never heard of called Layla Milou, and our own Tony Martin. The track is called “Bloody Valentine”. I’ve never claimed I know everything, but my totally missing the track surprised […]

A few weeks ago, the original Mk I Black Sabbath output was finally made available on iTunes in the US/North America for the first time. The cover art with the set looked an awful lot like the Black Box set from 2004. Then last week, I found out about a “new” box set being […]

I’ve posted about cakes a few times in the past – I don’t know why I’m fascinated by them, but I got a pic of another Black Sabbath cake last week from a fan Maria Hernandez. When I asked her what the story behind the cake was, this is what she said..

February 8, 2014 by 30 Comments
There’s a new Dio covers album coming out this spring that benefits the RJD Stand up for Cancer charity. It’s a good cause, and has a lot of cool artists on it. Anthrax, Metallica, Rob Halford, Halestorm, Scorpions, and plenty others. Cool factoid – Halestorm opened for Heaven & Hell on the last concert […]

Today is January 31, 2014. That means that 20 years ago, it was Jan 31, 1994. And on that date, came the penultimate studio Black Sabbath album in the Tony Martin era of the band, Cross Purposes! I’m not doing a full retrospective, because I’m a bit too busy to write about it on […]

Last night was the “Bonzo Bash” Jam at the NAMM show in Santa Ana, California. It’s a collection of drummers who get together for a theme – that being to celebrate the late John Bonham. However, that’s not all that happened. They also gave Bill Ward a “Legend Award” at the show, too.
Ozzy Era on US iTunes – FINALLY!
January 14, 2014 by 15 Comments
I’ve been doing this site for a long time, and one of the biggest complaints I’ve seen is “Why isn’t the 70’s Ozzy era available on iTunes?” Well, it actually has been in the UK/Europe for awhile, but not in the United States/North America. I’ll have a sidenote on the US vs UK stuff later […]
