Pentatonic minor for the win
|

So it's basically another Ozzy tour as we all expected it would end up?

Dammit, thats not a Sabbath tour, but Zakk is probably one of the best guys to cover for Tony
|

Without Tony Iommi there is no such thing as Black Sabbath.

Who cares. Iommi is more important. I hope he pulls through, and I'm sure he will. Lymphoma is one of the less-deadly cancers.
|
| |
Dio needs to come back from the grave, kick Ozzy's ass, and lead Sabbath on an amazing tour.

Okay, I think we've established that without Tony Iommi there is no such thing as Black Sabbath. Everyone in the band probably realizes that too which is why they are calling this lineup "Ozzy & Friends" and not Black Sabbath.

it's pretty unfortunate how this reunion is panning out

wats the point then?
|
| |
what a little lymphomic jerk
|
| |
wow way to replace the master with a fag

Are you FUCKING kidding me?

ummm ozzy plays sabbath songs with the ozzy band and often has geezer fill in (ie; ozzmosis). so with geezer, ozzy and wylde without ward or iommi, yeah, you're right, it is just another ozzy show.

yeah, this sucks
|
| |
This is turning out to be one awful example of a reunion tour. It isn't really much of a reunion if half of the band is gone; it has pretty much returned to Ozzy Osbourne with some other people.

|

I heard these shows were being billed as "Ozzy and Friends"

Rolling Stone is reporting that all the dates without Iommi are being billed as "Ozzy & Friends".
|
| |
The very article sourced in this post said that. I'm glad some users on this site know how to read.
Or maybe I must have missed the part where it said that there is such a thing as Black Sabbath without Iommi.
|
| |
maybe i missed this but Bill Ward is back with Sabbath?
|
| |
No, but they haven't announced any replacement yet.
|
| |
Man this would destroy me if I lived in Europe~
|
| |
dammit, just another Ozzy tour
|
| |
Ward released a statement saying that he's still waiting on feedback from like the other people's lawyer to determine if they'll give him a better contract or not. For this to have any hope of legitimacy without Iommi they absolutely need Ward.
|
| |
The most important thing right now is Tony's health no doubt about it, but i paid to see the original line-up. Sabbath should cancel completely their tours and wait until Tony's condition get improved.
|
| |
why fucking bother?
|
| |
It needs the original Sabbath lineup, as in Ozzy without Sharon

i considered seeing them since zakk would be there, but then i realized they'd still be playing sabbath music... so no deal
|
| |
Fuck this. It's not Black Sabbath if there's no Tony Iommi.

Most pointless user ever
|
| |

i heard that nirvana is having a reunion tour too. but it's just gonna be krist novoselic and some guys he works with at his office.
|
| |
that would probably still be better than 'sabbath' touring
|
| |

|

Iommi is Black Sabbath.
|
| |
wow killerhit i thought you weren't raven
|
| |
damn, first Ward now Iommi. this sucks
|
| |
They said they aren't playing under the Black Sabbath name but as Ozzy and friends
(still gay)
|
| |
Wow so "Black Sabbath" is now Ozzy + Geezer + random drummer + the biggest poser in rock. brilliant!

How about Dave Grohl on drums, vocals and guitar?

Zakk instead of Iommi completely changes the sound of the band. This is pretty funny.
|
| |
ozzy and friends would be a great show for daytime tv

oh man the irony
but yea this sucks hard
|
| |
That's so wrong, they've canceled all the dates besides Download. Shame really, was looking forward to seeing them on Graspop.
|
| |
Wellp, I'm not going.

They should tour with this Deep Purple line-up: http://tinpan.fortunecity.com/aprilskies/65/rod_evans__sounds-int.__sept._1980_.htm

This isn't as Black Sabbath, if you read the announcement. Only one show is as Black Sabbath and that is Download Festival. The rest are as "Ozzy and Friends" and will have a changing lineup, including Zakk Wylde and Slash.
