They are at least a dozen Grammy's short of due recognition.
Too lazy to look. Who was singing?
I cannot wait to see them on their next farewell tour.
He may come across like a stuttering dolt, but he still has the pipes.
Gameshow host: Heres the question I ask of all our contestants. What made you drop out?
Bob: Well a lot of people think it was the 400 acid trips I took yah know.
Gameshow host: Uh huh, but what was it really Bob?
Bob: Well one day I played Black Sabbath at 78 speed, man.
Gameshow host: Black Sa... And then what happened?
Bob: I saw God.
Gameshow host: You saw God. Well that sounds like true enlightenment to me Bob.

I just returned from a fantastic punk show of Gauze and The Genbaku Onanies in Shinjuku. Seeing this Black Sabbath post now made me feel extra great. I’m listening to Zappa now and finishing the beer I started drinking on the train on the way home. Great weather and music for a Tokyo Saturday night. Black Sabbath were one my earliest music influences from about the age of 13, and I’ve never changed after 35 years.
For this in CT - they’re playing at Mohegan Sun tonight.
45 years...there’s just something wrong about these rock groups that just keep playing until they’re octogenarians. They remind me of politicians and houseguests who just don’t know when to leave. Who really wants to see a 75 year old Mick Jagger strutting across stage? Do they do it to embarrass their grandkids, or is it just that Social Security doesn’t pay?
I concur with you, Mariner. Geezer Butler is no slouch either. The fact that Ozzy is still alive and semi-coherent still boggles the mind. I guess Bill Ward blimped out too much to tour. Tony Iommi Rules.
The Blue Angels’ C-130 ‘Fat Albert’ almost always starts its aerial demonstration with ‘Crazy Train’.
I agree.
Black Sabbath have taken the best “new” rock band (they’ve actually been around several years now) out with them on this tour: Rival Sons
