Sabbath and Halen. You cant really compare the two.
Two totally different styles.

I remember hearing the Sabbath reunion recordings from
a few years back, and it fucking kills the recent Van Hagar
effort.

Weeelllll...lemme tell ya a story....

1. The only difference stylistically between them at the time was that Van Halen was an L.A. High-Powered Explosive White Hot Party Metal Band (Yes, I considered them to be Metal for the first couple of tours...I said TOURS..not albums, as live they were very much in the vein of Metal...loud guitars, lotsa shouting about sex and getting ripped, etc.) and Black Sabbath was a Birmingham Doom Metal outfit

2. Yes I CAN compare the two, and HAVE compared the two for over 27 years now, as they were on the SAME BILL!

3. Yes, the Black Sabbath Reunion stuff has consistently destroyed Van Hagar. Why? Because it is Van HAGAR NOT 1978-era Van Halen. ANYONE who saw that tour DID WITNESS Black Sabbath getting blown off the stage. Even Tony Iommi AND Ozzy have admitted in many interviews over the past 2 decades that Van Halen was kicking their ass every night on that tour. The Setlists for the Current Black Sabbath shows going on whenever they go out to play Ozzfest, or European Metal Festivals (like they are already confirmed to do this coming summer) are ALL OLDER MATERIAL from the EARLY 70s. The SAME KICKASS STUFF that made them big to begin with. So YES Black Sabbath is still kicking ass!!!
Van Hagar is nothing but a pop band. There is no longer any comparison, because A) Sammy Hagar never was, is not, and never will be a metal artist, B) Edward is the worlds most famous Guitar Hero DRUNK, and C) Van Hagar's set lists are nothing but a buncha "OOH BABEE GIMMEEE ALL YORE LUV TONIIIIITE" pop music bullshit. So to compare Reunion-era Black Sabbth to ANYTHING Van Hagar has ever done is like comparing a 10-ton steam roller to a flower bed.

I was just fortunate to be able to witness a piece of Rock History and have a camera with me at the time.

Cheers, mate!

The only has been (at the time) in Sabbath was Ozzy. Once you removed the cancer from Sabbath, lo and behold, they produced one of the greatest albums ever: Heaven and Hell.

Attacking Tony Iommi is ridiculous. Tony, IMO, can out play Ed any day.

[Vivian Campbell]

I love how Ozzy claimed that tour convinced him to quit Black Sabbath.

Bwahaha, if "quit" means Bill Ward breaking the bad news that your Sharon loving ass was fired from Sabbath.

Thanks for the pictures Dude.

[Hardrock69]

Yeah...I saw both tours Dio did with BS in the early 80s....talk about fucking amazing!!!

[degüello]

Fuck, those are fucking sweet! Thanks for sharing.
