I could have used a laugh after that traffic

To change the subject a bit, do we think the new Dio and Sabbs songs are gonna live up to "Heaven & Hell", "Mob Rules" and "Dehumanizer"?

I think so.

There are going to be only three new tunes, so we shall see.

I'd imagine so. They originally started out as ideas for the next Dio album and then just got "converted" to Sabbath. Apparently everybody's really happy with them.

I'm sure we'll all be pleased with the results...we'll know soon enough!

[Shaun Ponsonby]

I'm optimistic...which makes a change.

[binnie]

As long as they're heavy. I'll be happy!

I reckon they'll be WAY better than the two songs with Ozzy from the late 90s...

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Yea, but Ozzy's covers album was better than them.

THEY were disappointing.

They could easily play all 3 albums and all three songs at Radio City Music Hall.

That'd be about 2.5 hours right?

Yeah, I can't see why they couldn't do the lot if they wanted to...

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Probably just be a 100 minute set.

They might even throw in some other Sabbath/Dio stuff.

I hope not, I'd rather just here Dio-era Sabba.

I've heard Ozzy-era over and over, and they have enough Dio-era to do a full set...

[Shaun Ponsonby]

I could put up with it. It'd be nice to hear that stuff SUNG as opposed to whatever the fuck Ozzy does these days.

[Vinnie Velvet]

So far its exclusively the three new songs and stuff off of H&H, Mob Rules and Dehumanizer.

Plenty of rock to kick our asses with!

[bueno bob]

Yes...they keep saying it's stuff from Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, Dehumanizer, and the three new songs ONLY. I've read every H&H interview I can get my hands on, and they've all been very specific about that.

Definitely will be better than the new songs with Ozzy in '98 - those 2 songs were very hastily thrown together simply because Sony wanted them on the Reunion album, no other reason.

That being said, I do have Psycho Man as my ringtone, but fuck it...what can you do...?

[bueno bob]

If you heard the song "Scary Dreams", though, that showed me that an Ozzy fronted Sabbath still has some viability. That was a particularly good song, I thought.

Doubt it'll ever see an actualized release though, they just played it live once or twice and that was it...
