Geezer Thanks the Fans

Geezer just posted this short update on his website.  Here it is:

Congrats to Tony Iommi

Wanted to take a moment and say congrats to Tony Iommi for getting back up on stage tonight at the O2 in Birmingham. As I have a relative who went through the same cancer treatment he did for the same thing, I know what that does to you.   Kudos to him for getting back […]

Geezer Butler’s “Heavy Heart”

This morning, a mere hours before the O2 gig, Geezer Butler posted something on his own site entitled “Heavy Heart“.  It’s his thoughts on Black Sabbath, the O2 gig, Bill Ward, Tommy Clufetos, & charity concerts.   You don’t want to read me talking about it, I’ll get straight to the statement:

Lyric of the Day

Yes we’re sad and sorry Really sorry that it happened that way Yes we’re sad and sorry We cannot go […]

Bill Ward is out of 2012 Live Shows

Bill Ward just issued a lengthy statement on his situation with Black Sabbath.   The short of it is that he’s not playing the three announced live dates.  No mention was made about the new album, but if he’s not playing any of the live dates, I can’t imagine he’s working with them on the […]

Iommi Interview Wins Award

As some of you might remember, last November, Tony Iommi released his autobiography, “Iron Man: My Journey Through Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath”, and this site dispatched our intrepid reporter Damian to the sleepy little hamlet of Ridgewood, New Jersey to cover the signing.  Damian produced a three and a half minute video which had […]

Ozzy to release Speak of the Devil DVD

In the early 80’s, Ozzy released a live album titled “Speak of the Devil”.  This was done in the aftermath of the death of Randy Rhoads.  It was supposed to be a live album with him, but as legend goes, Oz didn’t want Randy’s name on an album called “Speak of the Devil” (Talk of […]
