Just a day or so after I posted my “non update update”, Tony Iommi goes and issues an update on his situation over on his own website. Just posted tonight (or tomorrow morning in the UK), there’s this message from Tony, which sounds promising. As someone who has had a family member go through the EXACT […]
A Tribute to Tony Iommi
March 26, 2012 by 12 Comments
Was going through some pictures last night, and got stuck on pictures of Tony Iommi. To that, I decided to throw some of them together in a tribute video. No particular reason, just thought it’d be something cool to do. I know the way the Internet works, some people will assume that because he’s having […]
A Non Update Update
March 22, 2012 by 10 Comments
I’ve seen a lot of posts and messages asking for some sort of update on Tony Iommi. Some of them beliggerant – that he “owes” Sabbath fans an update. Bah. I wanted to post this in response to all of that. There is no update. If you know anyone who has ever gone through […]

This past Saturday was the most recent episode of “Rock 50” with Bill Ward. Rock 50 is a show on college radio station WPMD in Cerritos, CA. Once a month, Bill comes in and is the DJ, picks the tunes, and occasionally dispenses some nuggets from his past. Most of the tunes he plays are […]
Fans irritate me sometimes
February 24, 2012 by 37 Comments
Generally, I don’t go off on stupid things people say, but sometimes it just irritates the heck out of me. Take this for example. About half an hour ago or so, I posted the story about Sabbath playing a lone gig in the US in August. Given the state of Tony Iommi’s health, one would […]
Sabbath to play US in August?
February 24, 2012 by 29 Comments
The “will he or won’t he” saga with Bill Ward carries on. Tony Iommi’s cancer treatments carry on.. Yet the business of Black Sabbath doesn’t. Word popped up today that Black Sabbath might be playing a lone date in the US in August. Where? Who knows? Who’s on drums? Who knows? But a […]
Black Sabbath 2012 Update
February 17, 2012 by 59 Comments
Well, today’s been an interesting day. Earlier this morning, we got another statement from Bill Ward about his drumming situation with Black Sabbath. Which appeared to be good news, that they’re still talking. Then a few hours after that, we got a rather large and somewhat ominous update from Black Sabbath regarding the European […]
A Message from Bill Ward
February 17, 2012 by 19 Comments
Bill posted another update today over on his site regarding his contract situation with Black Sabbath. I’ll get right to the point – here’s what he had to say. In case the server is down when you go to look at it, here’s the text. I particularly like the bit where he calls out the […]
Tony Martin 2012
February 16, 2012 by 26 Comments
Those who have followed me and this site for some time now know I’m a big fan of the band’s ENTIRE history. Not just one part of it. The band’s been around since 1968 in some version or another, and in all that time, there’s been about 31 people play (officially) under the banner of […]
Ozzy Interview on XM
February 8, 2012 by 18 Comments
Today, the XM Satellite radio re-branded their “Boneyard” metal channel to be called “Ozzy’s Boneyard“. As part of the initial launch, there was an interview with Ozzy where he talks about the Black Sabbath reunion now, as well as Tony Iommi’s cancer. While I was unable to listen due to a personal comittment, a friend was […]
