If you’re a Black Sabbath fan, especially a long time one, you’ve seen Henry a bunch of times. Thing is, most people didn’t know he’s called Henry. He’s something akin to Iron Maiden’s “Eddie”, although Henry has never come out on stage live. :) Henry is of course the “flying devil” or “flying angel” […]
Before There was Elf…

Those of you who have been following this site for awhile know of my affinity for trying to present the entire story, not just bits and pieces, or just selected parts. Well, that’s why this piece is of particular interest to me. I’ve been following Ronnie James Dio’s career for a long time. First hopped […]
The Last time I met Ronnie
December 20, 2011 by 4 Comments
When Ronnie James Dio died in 2010, I was reminded a lot of the two times I met him face to face. Both were backstage after Heaven & Hell concerts. The first was 2007, and I’ve chronicled that story on this site already, you can read that here. I never wrote about the second […]
Random Tour Note
December 19, 2011 by Leave a Comment
When putting this new version of the site together, I ran across this text – it used to appear on the 2001 Tour page. It was relevant at the time, because I had someone who had gotten right pissed off at me for the 1999 tour when I didn’t have updated info as fast as […]
More 2012 Tour Dates
November 18, 2011 by 8 Comments
That didn’t take long. I always assumed it would be longer until more 2012 Tour dates were announced. This appears to be similar to the 1998 “tour”, when Black Sabbath played a bunch of European festival dates. This isn’t the full fledged “World Tour” which will commence once the new album actually comes out. Although.. […]

Quartz is back! Who is Quartz? They’re a band from the late 70’s that Tony Iommi produced, and their most notable member (to Black Sabbath fans anyway), is Geoff Nicholls. The guy who played keyboards on 10 studio and 3 live Black Sabbath albums from 1980 through 2004. When he was brought in in 1979 […]

Apparently, there’s an all new Cozy Powell documentary under production. It’s just started, so it won’t be out for awhile yet, but, there is a teaser trailer available. It’s embedded below. Once we get closer to release, there will be more to say here. A documentary feature uncovering and celebrating the life and work of […]
The Cage 3 Details!
November 16, 2011 by 1 Comment
Back in 1999, Tony Martin hooked up with Italian guitarist Dario Mollo to produce a project called “The Cage”. It proved popular, so a second Cage album came out a few years later in 2002. But that was it. Until now. Announced today is a third Cage album from the Martin / Mollo combination, entited […]
Facebook Screwed Me
November 15, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Yesterday, Facebook jacked me pretty hard. I had set up a few months back a Facebook page as a companion to this site. I used it to post news there, strike conversation, pretty much that was it. There was less than a dozen pictures, and no video. However, yesterday morning I woke up to find […]
