Black Sabbath Album "13" due in June

[Mr. Vengeance]

I refuse to buy "bonus" albums. It just encourages bands to do more of it. Just put the good songs all on one album. Stop fleecing the fans!

[ELVIS]

I'll buy whatever version has what I want on it...

The album overall still sucks though...

[binnie]

For an album that 'sucks', you're certainly listening to it an awful lot - maybe you have masochistic tendencies.

[ELVIS]

Nah...

Megadeth still blows 13 away...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

So you think DLR's voice has had better days? Listen to this.....

[Whorehey]

Gonna be a looong tour.

Black Sabbath are playing here (Tampa) Monday. Plenty of tickets are still available, and the local classic rock station is announcing it in the ads as Sabbath's 'Farewell Tour'...for some reason, even if it does prove to be my last chance to see Black Sabbath, I just can't be bothered. Was lucky enough to see the band once in 1983 with Ian Gillan and once with RJD in 2007, and those were two great fucking shows. Saw Ozzy twice in the 1980s on the BATM and Ultimate Sin tours...I dunno. I think once Ward bailed (again), my interest level sort of dropped a bit, although it wasn't necessarily a deal-breaker for me (seeing as I'd seen Sabbath twice with two different lineups, neither of which contained Ward). Have seen quite a few youtube vids of the current lineup, and Ozzy is just not singing well anymore. I mean, listen to that version of Iron Man above - atrocious. I'd just as soon listen to the Paranoid album than pay even $30 for cheap seats to hear Black Sabbath 2013 if Ozzy's gonna be singing like that. I think I'm at the point where I'd rather remember the band in a good way than watch a doddering old man shuffling around onstage singing off-key. Luckily, the records are forever.

The Sabbath concert was badass. They busted out some deep cuts. They played Into the Void second which was quite a statement. I guess Ozzy had some monitor problems in Texas but they were worked out before they got here.

I was really drunk and stoned.

Fucking wasted bastard...

[DLR Bridge]

That really was terrible.

[Mr. Vengeance]

I was really drunk and stoned.

So you're probably in a great position to evaluate how they sounded.....

So you're probably in a great position to evaluate how they sounded.....

Yeah I was actually. I'm a fuckin' expert. And my opinion is far superior to the sober people watching drunk people's iphone recordings.

[Matt White]

I saw BLACK SABBATH...the ENTIRE lineup in 1999....with PANTERA opening

no need to see 'em again......OZZY sounded damn good then....much better than now

[binnie]

I saw 'em on the first reunion tour in 1998, and when they headlined at Donington last year. There was a marked difference (although I enjoyed last year's performance a great deal).

[ODShowtime]

I didn't say it was the best show I ever saw, I said it was badass and Ozzy's monitor problems were fixed. He wasn't completely off-key like in Houston or Austin.
