A week or so ago when Bill Ward dropped that bombshell online about his contract situation and the Black Sabbath reunion, I was privy to it about 5 minutes before it was put online. As you probably remember, I handle Bill’s website, and his manager sent me that, asked me to put it on his […]

The Sabs respond to Bill
February 3, 2012 by 100 Comments
While I was out running errands today, the server tanked again. I should have guessed something happened, because the other Sabs (Ozzy, Tony, & Geezer) issued a statement today on the official Black Sabbath Website. It said: We were saddened to hear yesterday via Facebook that Bill declined publicly to participate in our current Black Sabbath […]

Early on in this site’s life, I was called a “data crazed fanatic completist” by someone reviewing my site. That’s one of the more inventive things I’ve been called, so that phrase has always appeared on the site since I first heard it. It’s part of the reason why I was driven to make sure […]

The new site is live – finally! I started working on this in some capacity in the morning on Tuesday the 17th. Due to some family issues, I didn’t get started in earnest until about 4PM or so. During this time there were some server issues, including an attempt to spam bomb the site, so […]
Welcome to the New Site!
January 17, 2012 by 28 Comments
Welcome to the new version of the Black Sabbath Online website. This has been a long time coming. For a couple of reasons. The old site has been here a long time. It’s served me and the community well, but it was launched in January of 2000, and given this is January 2012, TWELVE years […]
