A few weeks ago, the original Mk I Black Sabbath output was finally made available on iTunes in the US/North America for the first time.  The cover art with the set looked an awful lot like the Black Box set from 2004.   Then last week, I found out about a “new” box set being […]

I’ve posted about cakes a few times in the past – I don’t know why I’m fascinated by them, but I got a pic of another Black Sabbath cake last week from a fan Maria Hernandez.  When I asked her what the story behind the cake was, this is what she said..

Congrats to Black Sabbath for winning the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance for “God is Dead?”.. Congrats to Best Metal Performance "God Is Dead?" Black Sabbath #GRAMMYs #PreTelecast— The GRAMMYs (@TheGRAMMYs) January 27, 2014 MORE GRAMMY COVERAGE That bit above was a quick post right after they won.  There was a lot of other […]

I’ve been doing this site for a long time, and one of the biggest complaints I’ve seen is “Why isn’t the 70’s Ozzy era available on iTunes?”  Well, it actually has been in the UK/Europe for awhile, but not in the United States/North America.  I’ll have a sidenote on the US vs UK stuff later […]

Tonight was the last gig for 2013, in Birmingham.   It’s been a cool tour.  I saw it myself last summer, but I’m here to ask you.  If you saw the tour, what did you think?   Leave a comment below!  Other than Andrew WK who sucked, it also appears that the opening bands were […]

The song “Changes” from the Vol 4 album in 1972 was a turning point.  It was a slow, ballady song, something that the band had not done up to that point.  The band (in its 1995 incarnation) brought it back live at a gig in Tokyo, but has mostly remained unplayed since that time.   […]

Check this out!   A 20 minute video review / film / photo gallery as taken by one of the photographers (Gustavo Vara) who you see in the front row early on in the show.  Very VERY cool – one of the more unique things like this I’ve seen.  It’s hard to know what to […]

If you’ve been a fan of my site for some time now, then you’ve probably seen art by Santiago Dufour before.  He’s an artist from Argentina who does all kinds of drawings for many different musicians.  But he’s done several on Black Sabbath/Heaven & Hell.  Today I discovered he’d done a new one for the […]

A few weeks ago, it was announced that there will be a live DVD/Blu-Ray from the current Black Sabbath 13 tour.   This should come as NO SURPRISE to anyone, honestly.   What I am a little surprised about is that it is from the Australian tour earlier in the year.   I would have […]
