In all my time running this site, I’ve gotten a lot of fan mail – some of it from Sab fans who have been around since the beginning. If you’re one of those fans, then you might find interest in this story. As you may have read, long time popular British Radio DJ Alan Freeman […]
Bill Ward is officially out of the Heaven & Hell project
November 26, 2006 by
I got an email from Bill Ward’s people to place on Bill’s site, and I wanted to alert people to it here as well. Bill Ward will not be on the new tracks for the Black Sabbath: The Dio years disc, nor will he participate in the “Heaven & Hell” tour next year. It looks […]
Roundup of Heaven & Hell stuff
November 25, 2006 by
In the last 24 hours, there was a major piece of “news” released by Eddie Trunk. Eddie is a pretty respected rock journalist. He’s seen on VH1 Classic, has his own radio show, website, etc, etc, etc. What’s cool is that he appears to have access to info that most of us do not, and […]
Heaven & Hell
November 23, 2006 by
Do we need to call the Heaven & Hell reunion the “Mob Rules” reunion now? Or Dehumanizer 2? Blabbermouth has posted a story saying that Bill Ward is out, and Vinny Appice is in – effectively replacing Bill on the tour and on the new tracks for the Dio years Sabbath box set. I have […]
Some potentially seriously cool news. Oh yeah, and another re-re-re-re-release?
November 15, 2006 by
This story has been floating around a bit, and I didn’t want to say anything until I checked into it myself.

The first three albums (1970’s Black Sabbath, 1970’s […]

Black Sabbath Resurrection
November 15, 2006 by
What the heck is this? Does anyone know? I’ve been getting emails off and on for awhile now asking me what this is, and to be honest, I have no idea. I even went so far as to email Tony Iommi’s people and ask them. Here’s what I said: http://www.blacksabbathresurrection.com/ I have to admit, I […]

[ Discuss this story on our forums here ] A story going around today on Blabbermouth about the Iommi/Ward/Butler/Dio reunion as “Heaven & Hell” is claiming that a representative with Tony Iommi’s camp has said that the reunion is “officially happening”.

No new news on the Dio front
October 21, 2006 by
Since I posted that news update about a month ago about the Dio shows, the box set, etc… I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking “what’s going on”. Just wanted to post this and say I’ve already told you what’s going on. I don’t know any more secret dirt on what I’ve said already. […]
Old Born Again Video
October 16, 2006 by
I’ve seen this video before, it’s been ages since, but I remember it well. I remember it as being one of the few times Black Sabbath has mimed on television. The audio is the same stuff from the Born Again album. Does anyone remember what show this was on, and in what country? If so, […]
