Expect Simon Wright to get that call first. Vin and Ron aren't really on "speaking" terms, so far as I've heard.

Yo, Terry...at this point I'd rather see Dio with Sabbath than Ozzy. His voice is shot. Gone. Completely.

I saw Dio/Sabbath on both tours and not only was it a great loud show, but the overall stage and lighting was killer for its time.

Out of the entire Sabbath library I listen to the stuff that Dio did with them over any other of their albums save one...Their first release.

Ozzy bailed off of his latest tour due to vocal problems. True, not true, I don't know but the last time I saw him I wasn't impressed. The magic from the Randy era is LONG gone.

I guess Ozzy wanting the name of Black Sabbath is probably to get back at Tony for kicking him out and continuing the band.

Luckily he`s not stupid enough to use the name by himself.

Even Ozzy knows that if one guy from the original line up can use the name, then it`s Tony.

I wish Axl Rose was bright enough to realise that!

This is very cool news!!! Even if its still a rumour at this point.

I like the 'Heaven and Hell' moniker. It fits and sounds right.

If its not for legal reasons that they won't call themselves Black Sabbath, I can understand why.

Ever since Sabbath officially reformed with Ozzy in '97, its been common knowledge to everyone that the TRUE Sabbath was the original.

And not to mess with the fans and also NEW fans (there are a lot of kids these days that only view Sabbath with Ozzy), I can understand why not using the name with Dio again.

Makes perfect sense.

Ozzy is done as a performer, as far as I'm concerned. And with that, I think the original Sabbath is done.

BRING ON DIO!!! NEON KNIGHTS!!! THE MOB RULES!!!

HELL YEAH!

I think Bill Ward would perform with Dio again, as long as they don't call themselves Sabbath, which looks like to be the case.

Bill never had a problem with Dio, but certainly had a problem with still calling themselves Black Sabbath.

Also, around 1980, keep in mind, Ward was very fucked up on booze and drugs -- another reason for his leaving after recording the H&H album.

This is cool news.

Heaven and Hell...cool name...cool idea...killer songs!

Must be Vinnie....

Cool videos...I have not seen TV crimes in years...forgot all about Dehumanizer.

I'm not 100% positive, but I think that was one of the conditions that Ozzy had for the reunion, that there would never again be another version of Black Sabbath. I don't think he wanted to do it and then Iommi go out and tour again with the name.

Most likely Vinnie.

Bill recorded the Heaven and Hell album with the band, but due to heavy drinking and so on could not get himself up for the tour -- besides, his buddy Ozzy was just booted out which just made Bill drink even more.

Bill came back in '83 and recorded the Born Again album with Ian Gillan.
But again, because of his drinking problem, could not get himself well enough for the tour -- this time he was replaced by ELO drummer, Bev Bevan.
