Black Sabbath: The Ultimate Collection

As we edge closer to the “final shows” by Black Sabbath, one not unexpected thing has happened.  We have an announcement of a new compilation from Universal.   This will be released on October 28th, and the shows start up again in early November.   The compilation is called “Black Sabbath: The Ultimate Collection”.  Details […]

“The End” in Birmingham – Jan 2017

I’ve been told that this is legitimate, and is happening.   As I’d been telling everyone all along, the Black Sabbath “The End” tour will end in Birmingham in January 2017.    This poster with dates is real.

“The End” Merchandise

Thought folks might want to see this, so I enlisted a friend at the Las Vegas gig to take some pictures of the Merch tables.  Check out the pics below to see what they’re selling.  $100 for an autographed “The End” CD is kind of pricey, IMO.

Pictures of “The End”

Last night was the second show of the 2016  tour, in Chicago.  A friend of mine went to the show, and texted me a couple of pictures.  Below are the pics.

New Headspace

If you didn’t know, Black Sabbath’s keyboardist for several years now, Adam Wakeman has another gig besides Ozzy’s solo band (and the most excellent Snakecharmer).  That’s a project called “Headspace“.  Headspace just released a new song (“Your Life Will Change”) from their forthcoming album, “All That You Fear is Gone”.  The entire album is due […]

New Sabbath Music – ONLY AT SHOWS

No, it’s not a new album. It’s something that I think most fans have expected to happen for some time now. Today Black Sabbath announced a new release to coincide with the 2016 “The End” Tour. It’s called (not surprisingly) “The End”, and comprises eight tracks. Four are the unused studio tracks from the 13 […]
