Bill Ward’s Thank You

Bill Ward just posted a short followup on his site to the how shall we say, fracas online of the last two days or so.   Here’s what he said. Dear Sabbath Fans, This is Bill. I just wanted to humbly thank you all. Your support from across the world has given me further strength […]

The Sabs respond to Bill

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 […]

Bill Ward Out of Reunion? Maybe.

Bill Ward just posted a bombshell on his website.   Not quite sure what to make of it at the moment, but if you’ve been following the band, it seems like the same kind of thing that happened in 2004 again.  Here’s what Bill posted on his site: Los Angeles, CA – February 2, 2012 […]

Geezer Speaks on Tony, New Album

This evening, Geezer Butler posted an update to his website, detailing some of the progress around the new album, as well as some remarks on Tony and his cancer diagnosis.  Check it out: Greetings Earth people,  Today [Jan19th] we got the engines back up and running @ Tony’s home studio.

About Henry

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” […]

11 – 11 – 11

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 […]

Born Again Vinyl to be Re-Released

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

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 […]

Martin Popoff’s “Black Sabbath FAQ”

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 […]
