Short and sweet. here’s some video from the gig yesterday. I remember going to see concerts in the 80’s and getting bootleg video on VHS back then. The stuff that is called “bootleg video” in 2012 makes bootleg video from back then look like something you’d pull out of your arse. Some of […]
Bill Responds. Again.
The latest volley in the great Black Sabbath pissing match of 2012 has been lobbed out there. Bill Ward has issued a new statement in response to Geezer’s “Heavy Heart” respone before the Birmingham gig yesterday. Here’s the text in full:

Lyric of the Day
Given the events of earlier today, this old set of lyrics seems suddenly appporiate. They come from the track “Swinging the Chain” from the Never Say Die! album. Which, ironically, was sung by Bill Ward. 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
