Hot on the heels of the July 4th Hyde Park show comes this little tidbit I found in my inbox tonight. Cover art for something that should look awfully familiar to some people, who were excited about the new Black Sabbath studio release from last year. We’ve been hearing rumours of another new Sabbath […]
July 4 Concert Announced
The tour continues on. A date at Hyde Park in London on July 4th has been added. Normally this called “British Summer Time”, but it’s been amusingly renamed to “Black Sabbath Time”. A press release and video about the new gig are below. Tickets go on sale 9AM Wed Apr 2:
Complete Albums 1970-1978 Details
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 […]
Black Sabbath Cake!
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..
Happy 20th, Cross Purposes!
Today is January 31, 2014. That means that 20 years ago, it was Jan 31, 1994. And on that date, came the penultimate studio Black Sabbath album in the Tony Martin era of the band, Cross Purposes! I’m not doing a full retrospective, because I’m a bit too busy to write about it on […]

Ozzy Era on US iTunes – FINALLY!
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 […]
Last gig of 2013 is over
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 […]
Charles Bradley Cover of Changes
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. […]
Black Sabbath – Methademic Man
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 […]
