Black Sabbath Album "13" due in June

[ELVIS]

If the album is good, I wont care about any of that...

[sonrisa salvaje]

I'm not that excited about this album.....Not because I don't think Sabbath can make a good album, but I think that they are going to do something average that cannot possibly compare to their heyday. The Heaven and Hell album managed to bring the goods....I just don't see it here.

I hope I'm wrong.

I'm with you and as Binnie pointed out if the 2 tracks from the Reunion record are any indication of what is to come it scares me to death. I can only hope that Tony and Geezer wrote everything including lyrics and all Ozzy has to do is sing.

[ELVIS]

I don't think much effort went into those two filler tracks...

I'm hoping, anyway...

The live part holds it's own ! Tony is way better live. tone wise. Killer sound. It fucking sucks that they put interviews over the song's on the dvd.

Meanwhile back in Ozzy-land, Sharon's stupidity catches the Osbourne mansion on fire, and gets Ozzy burned.....

A fire at Ozzy Osbourne‘s Beverly Hills house early this morning (Jan. 17) caused him to require medical treatment. His wife and manager Sharon told the story on her show, ‘The Talk,’ while also revealing that he had an undisclosed procedure performed on his hand on Wednesday. Neither Sharon, nor their dogs, who were also in the house at the time, were injured.

Apparently, Sharon left a candle burning overnight. At approximately 5:00AM Pacific time, the glass vase holding the candle burst, sending flames throughout the living room. Fortunately, the fire was quickly extinguished by the local fire department, but not before the couple had tried on their own.

“My husband had an operation on his hand yesterday so he’s in a complete cast,” she explained, as reported by ContactMusic. “He comes down and goes, ‘Oh, the fire, the fire!’ [and tries to put it out] with his hand in the cast. Then he opens the French doors and I go into the kitchen and throw water on it and it erupted.”

The problem was that the candle’s flame was oil-based, and therefore Sharon’s action caused the blaze to spread, causing more damage than intended. As a result, her husband got the worst of it.

“Ozzy’s front of his hair from [his ear down is], gone! His eyebrows [are gone],” she continued. “He’s got like, skinned cheeks. We are, like, two idiots, it was like The Three Stooges…Everything you are not meant to do – go to bed with candles alight, open the doors and put water on – we did it all.”

Sharon concluded the story by accepting full responsibility for the fire and by passing on a message of the importance of fire safety.

“I apologize to my husband because he put himself out,” she said. “He made his hand worse, it started to bleed, the whole nine yards, and I’m sorry and I love you and I will never light a candle again. I want to thank the firemen from Beverly Hills Fire Station because you are magnificent there and I want to say to everyone out there, please, please check your candles before you go to bed.”

I couldn't find my old vinyl copy of Vol 4, so I bought a WB Olive Label 1st US Pressing off e-bay... sounds so fucking good.
I really wanted a Vertigo 1st UK pressing and actually won an auction for an insanely cheap price... of course as soon as I won, the seller said his kid broke the record and asked to cancel the transaction.
Those old Sabbath Vertigo UK pressings, go for a lot of $$$.

[Hardrock69]

Strange....I thought I had Vol. 4 on vinyl. Turns out I don't. I have the first album, and that is it.

Ok....I know what I will be on the hunt for now....

[lesfunk]

:P
HUuHuhUh Huh HUhUhuhuhh

shite

[sonrisa salvaje]

Can't blame Ozzy for having a cast on his hand. I'd beat it too rather than having sex with that witch.

So are they calling the album "13" just because of the year, or is this some tricky revisionist math reflecting what is and is not considered "Black Sabbath" now?

Actually, it would agree with my definition... since I acknowledge the Dio albums and the Ian Gillan album as legitimate Black Sabbath, but not all that bullshit that Iommi recorded with no other actual band members.

So if you do the math.....

8 original Black Sabbath studio albums
3 Dio era studio albums
1 Gillan studio album
_______________________
12 total legitimate "Black Sabbath" studio albums.

And even though Bill Ward is missing, this will be 3/4 of the original, so that counts as 13.

[ELVIS]

Maybe they should have left 13 out and called it 14...

I like how these retards, after doing something incredibly stupid, take it upon themselves to adamantly warn everybody else not to do it.

Ozzy should've killed her years ago.

Cheers! :bottle:

[vh rides again]

I will go if it's not $100 a ticket. Ashamed to say I've never seen Ozzy (I grew up in Iowa, which wasn't real neighborly to the Oz.)

I've lived in iowa or across the river in Illinois my whole life.
Ozzie was here many times, I've seen him 4 times in davenport during the 80s-90s and a few times in the 00's

Where and when were you in Iowa ?

He tried !

I think Brad Wilk is a smart move for drummer.

Not sure if 'professional' is an adjective I'd like to be applied to Sabbath record. 'Monstrous' is one I'd prefer.....
