The first time I saw Black Sabbath they (along with Humble Pie) opened for Mountain at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. When I saw them less than a year later Humble Pie and Alice Cooper opened for Black Sabbath, again at the Spectrum. Man, those were the days.

IIRC, Heaven and Hell was the same lineup that recorded The Mob Rules and Dehumanizer (Iommi/Butler/Dio/Appice, or as Ozzy Osbourne called it, “Geezer and the three wops”).

“I heard an ad on the radio today for Black Sabbath. Apparently the original band has reunited for a tour.”

Not quite. I don’t know who will be on drums this tour, but it won’t be Bill Ward.

[Lancey Howard]

Yep, you’re right about that.

Yep. That’s why I was so over the top happy to see the gig at Loudpark 2009.

"If you sit at home listening to Slayer you have problems and you taste in music is really bad."

Dude! If you're at home listening to SLAYER! while sitting you're doing it wrong.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Hehe, right on!
