Black Sabbath 2005 Tour.

[CVHfan]

Launch Radio Networks is reporting that BLACK SABBATH will be back in action this summer. Singer-bassist Glenn Hughes, who's finishing up a new album with SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi, said that Ozzy Osbourne and company will hit both Europe and North America this year, and that he might also be on the bill. "They are doing the, the festival run in Europe, and I believe — if I'm not shooting my foot off here — that they will be playing Ozzfest," he said. "And there's a rumor that Tony and I will be, with our new project, on that same bill, but I can't say that's gonna happen — but you never know."

BLACK SABBATH has already signed on to play Denmark's Roskilde (pronounced Ross-kill-dee) Festival, one of the largest annual music events in Europe. Roskilde, in its 34th year, will take place June 30 through July 3. Last year's festival drew 75,000 fans to hear 150 bands performing on six stages.

Other groups slated to play this year's Roskilde Festival include GREEN DAY and AUDIOSLAVE.

Osbourne is preparing for the March 22 release of "Prince of Darkness", a four-CD box set of material from throughout his career, as well as some newly recorded cover songs.

Besides the project with Iommi, which should be out this summer, Hughes has a solo album called "Soul Mover" that's due next month. It features RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith and ex-JANE'S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro.

This is fucking incredible, 2005 is going to be the true year of a BLACK FUCKING SABBATH comeback, FUCK YES \m/

This all comes from that site.

Is it a festival tour or will they do a real tour as well?

[CVHfan]

I thought there would be a little of both. Like they would do a real tour and do OzzFest.

[loss of fools]

hopefully they will be at download.

[FORD]

Hopefully this means they might finish that album they have supposedly been working on since 1997.

If only CVH VH were doing this kind of thing + a 4CD Box set.

I would be in fucking heaven!

FORD. they gave up recording when they realized it wouldn't meet their old standards.

Good thing I avoided the farewell tour a couple of years ago.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

When they toured when they first reunited, that was one of my most favorite concerts I have ever seen....

[Panamark]

I agree with FORD. I hope it means the album gets finished, even if its not up to the lofty standards of the 70's. I would buy it.

Shite another old fart's money grab tour. Great!

They sucked the last time I saw Sabbath. Tony Iommi sucks, what a total loser.

Now if Ozzy would tour with Zakk Wylde again, and get Tommy Lee on drums, after the Crue Tour falls apart, then I'll be sitting front row.

Tommy Lee is the ONLY drummer that could ever replace Randy Castillo (RIP) for an Ozzy Tour.

Man, is 05 going to be the year of ol' fart money grab Tours, or what!

I'd rather spend the dough on whores in Vegas, and later watch old videos of the great bands performing, thanks

Come on Tom, you are holding back on us !! Let it out !!

Hey. It would be better than the Fleece the Sheep tour. At least it is Sabbath as everyone knows and loves.

Look I’m not into these half baked nostalgia gigs. I pay good money to attend concerts and dammit I want to be entertained, particularly since my doctor made me stop drinking and drugging years back, LOL. If I want the nostalgia trip I show up at these guys funerals.

Hell, just to go see DLR New Years in Orlando, cost me around $850. I mean $225 for a pair of tickets (got free food at the gig, so that saved $50 for me and my date), airfair for me (she lived in Ft Lauderdale and drove up to Universal, thank God), hotel room, etc., and then hell I had to spring for a couple of extra boxes of condoms….God knows how long this chick had had any…..

so like DLR plays 21 songs for his New Years Bash, Ok…….that’s costing me almost $41 per song on the deal.

I rest my case.

I don't want to see Sabbath and missing part of his finger Tony. Also Bill Ward is in very bad health.

I want to see Ozzy, doing HIS Sabbath tunes with guys that can play like Randy Rhodes (RIP) and Randy Castillo (RIP). This is the ReUnion Tour that needs to happen.

Let Dio do a Sabbath reunion, and give me my kick ass Ozzy show, like in the 80’s, and on the Live and Loud video.

Same deal with Dave. I don't want to see DLR do a Van Roth reunion with Eddie in EVH's "going to an early grave" condition.

I mean Brian Young blows EVH off the stage currently and entertains me, Ok. I went to a Van SpamBoy's 04 show, to see EVH play for the last time, and got lucky. EVH had one of his better shows of the Tour, from reading other show reviews.

But bottom line, DLR fronting, instead of Spammy, wouldn't have helped that 04 SpamBoys Tour. Dave cannot play EVH's guitar for him, and stop EVH from being a total fuckup and killing himself on the booze and drugs.

Further I don’t want to see Diamond on stage letting the Sister’s make an ass out of him, while he is trying to put on a good show for the fans……Forget About It, until Eddie goes through rehab and gets clean!
