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.

shitty

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.

not going now

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

Without Tony Iommi there is no such thing as Black Sabbath.[6]

i usually hate this bracketed number nonsense but yeah, it's so true

Without Tony Iommi there is no such thing as Black Sabbath.[7]

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

behind the wall of squeals. what a shit guitarist to cover. theres no point anymore without iommi

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.

what do you mean wut? he is right, sabbath sucks, and they always have. zakk rules though id go just for him

boneren

leave me alone im trying to troll!

i see through your lies

i always tell the truth because lying is for chumps

Wow this has to be the 40th alt I've seen from cone

Most pointless user ever

its funny because you like one of them

in ur mouth

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

black sabbath - now with twice the pinch harmonics!

hmm i wonder whose idea this was

Iommi is Black Sabbath.

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!

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

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.

This shit is whack yo

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.
