On Friday November 4th, blacksabbath.com’s front page was replaced with the graphic above. There’s been widespread speculation over the last few months about the original getting back together. That announcement seems to be a verification of that, but I can’t get any of the relevant managers and whatnot to talk to me about it. Not […]
Tony Iommi Book Review & News Report
November 2, 2011 by 3 Comments
“I will never set fire to Bill Ward again.” You’ve got to love a book whose last line of text is that, don’t you? I’ve been a Black Sabbath fan since 1981 (30 years, man). Anyway, over the years, I’ve read a ton of interviews, heard a lot of video, listened to many an […]

Just got word that a “special edition” of the Born Again album on double vinyl will be released shortly. While I don’t have a proper release date yet, I’m told it will be 180gsm special vinyl, and will be culled from the recent remastering sessions for the Universal 2 CD Born Again Deluxe Edition CD […]
Tony Iommi Denies Reunion Talk
August 16, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Tony Iommi Denies Reunion Talk, calling it “absolute nonsense”. The net has been abuzz the last 24 hours with a ton of reunion talk of Mk I Black Sabbath. It’s all mostly fueled on an article from the Birmingham Mail newspaper where Tony Iommi reported to have talked about a reunion, etc… There were no […]
New Career Dio Compilation
July 27, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I followed the career of “Dio” the band since it started after the downfall of the Mob Rules incarnation of Black Sabbath. Followed it through Ronnie’s return to Black Sabbath in 1992, back to Dio, and through the third Sabbath stint, Heaven & Hell. Through all that time, there’s been a few Dio compilations that […]
Martin Popoff’s “Black Sabbath FAQ”
June 17, 2011 by Leave a Comment
One of the things I get asked from time to time (usually after people read my timeline page) is why I don’t write a book. The reason I usually give them is “What’s the point? – There’s a ton of books out there, and I’m not sure what unique perspective I could bring”. So it […]

Ronnie’s 1 Year Anniversary
May 16, 2011 by Leave a Comment
If you’re reading this site, then you know what today is. The one year anniversary of the death of Ronnie James Dio to stomach cancer. That still sucks, but we still have a pile of tunes to remember him by. Geezer issued this statement earlier today on his website. Not a whole lot more needs […]
My thoughts on the Born Again Remaster
May 5, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Well, I’ve had my advance copy of the 2011 two disc reissue of Born Again in my hands for two days now, and I finally had a chance to crank it good yesterday (translation: The wife and kids were out of the house). Now that I’ve had a chance to listen to it a bit, […]

Want to win some free copies of these new releases? Read this whole page, and find out how. :) I’ve been running this site since 1995, and I’ve been listening to the “Black Sabbath Family” of tunes earlier than that. The first release I bought in this family was Sabbath’s “Mob Rules” album, and then […]
