Awesome - hopefully eventuates.

i wish ozzy would just retire from the face of the planet already (not die, just leave us all alone).

P_P

not sure if this is a good idea...

will suck

This might have been cool like ten/twenty years ago.

Well this certainly wasn't expected. Pretty cool news hopefully it works out.

I hope this doesn't suck

Fuckin' stoked.

I don't care whether the new stuff is good or not, this is awesome news.

Full UK tour please...

it's either going to rock hard or fucking suck

lol this is so random

Strange, could be good who knows.

As long as its like the first four albums dude, I'm fucking in and stoked. No Never Say Die crap.

20 bucks on this failing miserably.

want to hear a song

I just have a feeling this album will have maybe two-three good jammin riffs and the rest will be half assed ballads, etc.

there will be no more than 2 ballads

ozzy can't sing without the aid of autotune anymore. this will blow.

Can't wait.
The only reason this album could suck is Ozzy.

I don't give a damn about a new album - but I do give a damn about seeing Black Sabbath live with Ozzy Osbourne. Jesus christ!

Oh Lord Yeah

m/

hell yes

The news all metal fogeys like myself have been waiting for!!!!!

But didn't they reunite and promise a new album like 10 years ago? The two new songs (I think it was two) on the Reunion concert album were pretty forgettable so even I have my reservations about this alleged new album...

But the touring is another matter entirely, for which I am totally stoked, I just hope Bill can manage it

Can't believe this is happening because just about a year ago I read an interview with Ozzy stating "We're all down to do it, but Iommi just won't budge."

Great news. I definitely will see them live. The legends are back!

meanwhile at VH1 classic...

*massive circlejerk*

hope they go metalcore (2)

"I just hope Bill can manage it"

Well i believe that after a couple of months Ward will be just fine.
I really hope Ozzy will manage it because his voice is terrible.
I really hope he will not "destroy" the other members with his performance in the new album.

Ozzy performance in studio will be great, his main problem is the live performances

I believe this won't suck, but it won't be excellent

The fucking fuck? Didn't Ozzy just try to use Tony like last year? And I thought I'd read that they'd tried working with Ozzy before but couldn't make it work because he kept wanting to make the songs sound like his stuff? This doesn't make sense...

Only happening because Dio's gone, which is the real shame here. Because Heaven and Hell were tight.

Oh, there ya go. Iommi probably still wants to tour.

OMG

Heaven and Hell was good, but I'm not so sure about this considering Ozzy's recent output. Still, seeing Sabbath with Ozzy sounds awesome.

If they do a tour I'll most likely go. I'm expecting a new album full of suck though.

m/

It really sucks that this is gonna suck.

m/ m/ m/

m////////

"Only happening because Dio's gone, which is the real shame here. Because Heaven and Hell were tight"

If Iommi writes riffs that sound like Heaven And Hell- The Devil You Know, then it will be sweet, but I'm more curious then stoked

Seems like a pretty random action from these guys.

And besides, all the good riffs are taken now.

look at black sabbaths facebook status

I'm excited for the tour. not sure about the album though. There might be a chance it won't suck.

Oh god.

If i don't see the actual physical copy of that album in my hands, i don't believe anything.

Glad it isn't happening.

This should be taken down

Yeah

Well, yeah it really should be taken down. This all very awkward now.

I thought I was hallucinating when I read this. I don't really listen to black sabbath but I think this is awesome! I mean everyone knows these guys were the original pioneering band of heavy metal and all.

We should keep this up, I find it funny. Let's keep it goin' guys!!!

god damn it

holy shhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettt!!!!

I'm really sad now, news should be taken down unfortunately... :/

that's pretty retarded

Don't think its actually happening.

yeah just read the comments under the article and this is fucking bullshit

I think its still gonna happen. Iommis just pissed it was leaked.

Iommi's confirmed its not happening. sucks ass.

Tony Iommi Comments on Today's Posts:

I’m saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Sabbath reunion.

Thanks to the internet it’s now gone round the world as some sort of “official” statement on my part, absolute nonsense. I hope he’s enjoyed his moment of glory, he won’t have another

Fuck Ozzy. They were the best with Dio, don't care what you say.

the full statement, from his website:

"I'm saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Black Sabbath reunion.

"At the time I was supporting the Home of Metal exhibition and was merely speculating, shooting the breeze, on something all of us get asked constantly, "Are you getting back together?"

Thanks to the internet it's gone round the world as some sort of "official" statement on my part, absolute nonsense. I hope he's enjoyed his moment of glory, he won't have another at my expense.

"[T]o my old pals, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, sorry about this, I should have known better.

All the best, Tony"

cool if it would've happened

I LOVED Never Say Die. What an excellent album. I think it's just standard to say it sucks or something. I have no idea why people think it's bad. Regardless, there's too much talent for this new album to not be good. Ozzy alone can't fuck this up.

"it's either going to rock hard or fucking suck"

My thoughts exactly!

I have Orchid to listen to right now. And for my fix, I can go back to Self-titled through Sabotage.

this could be good. like...it has the potential. but uh...it's not gonna be.

why is this still up? it just makes me sad every time I see it =/

Another reunion was bound to happen at some point. Touring's all good, but recording a new album with Ozzy after more than 30 years just isn't right.

it would rule if they did all the right things the right way


but that's not going to happen so yeah : (

band rules

Got me excited a bit. Too bad it's not true.

The masters of DDDDDDOOOOOOMMM are returning.

If they can actually make something as good as Black Sabbath-Sabotage, I'll eat my hat.

SPOILER: I won't be eating my hat.

Nice. Dio's body is still warm.

It'll be Over produced...the same atmosphere created by the old days won't be there and it'll be them trying to be the old Sabbath. Just like Death Magnetic and Metallica....it won't work out. Won't Blow...but wont feel like an old school Sabbath release.

Just thought that I would add that this news was denied by Iommi after the news broke yesterday. Though it probably has been said I really did not feel like reading through every post lol.

Why do people still care about this?

lol people are still getting pumped for this.

Yeah, I saw on the prp it was just a journalist who just misused words and made it sound like reformation.

I can either see this going really well, or falling flat on its' face... hopefully the former.

Derp

best news i've read today

Can wait to see them live

lol at this

The sequel to Iron Man, just in time for Iron Man 3!

It's official.
They have returned.
