So I got a text message from a friend of mine this afternoon saying this.. “Crap!! Not going to Japan! :(” After a few subsequent texts asking what the hell he’s talking about, it turns out a story broke this afternoon saying that “Black Sabbath will do a farewell concert on Nov 22nd as part […]

January 15, 2015 by 10 Comments
Caught news of this a few days ago, and realized I forgot to post it, so here I am. There’s a Randy Rhoads tribute CD coming out next month, and it looks to be interesting. It doesn’t have Zakk Wylde on it, which is a little bit of a surprise, but overall, I like the […]
Tony Iommi issues Cancer Update
January 8, 2015 by 16 Comments
My first news story of the year is one that talks about a not fun subject at all. Tony Iommi’s cancer. While I’ve been seeing a lot of posts and requests (and even DEMANDS, if you can believe that) for Tony to record, tour, basically do the same thing as he’s always done.. This […]

Sabbath fan Philipp B sent me a note on Twitter saying he happened upon the music that Tony Iommi created for the CSI episode that aired here in the US a week ago or so. That was cool, as I hadn’t heard it yet.

George Orwell reference aside, there’s something that occurred to me tonight. 1984 was a big year for hard rock/metal. Earlier in the year, I pointed out that Van Halen’s 1984 album turned 30 (on January 9th). I also saw that another band I follow online (Quiet Riot) pointed out they have an album that […]
Tony Iommi & CSI
October 31, 2014 by 5 Comments
If you remember, there was some promotion with the CBS TV show, CSI where Black Sabbath played (mimed) in the episode, and Ozzy had a short speaking role. Anyway, they must have remembered this, as Tony Iommi recently announced that a short music composition of his will appear in the November 9th episode of the […]
