Reunion?????????????????????????

Ozzy is once again speaking about a Black Sabbath reunion. I remember seeing Black Sabbath's "final" show. It was at Jones Beach theater back in August of 2000. Ten years ago. Sabbath Drummer Bill Ward was so emotional about the final show that he took the time to write with pen on a piece of loose leaf paper "End Of Black Sabbath" and scotch tape it to his drum kit. I'm a huge Sabbath fan. I believe they were the first, NOT ZEPPELIN, heavy metal band. The Blue Print for which other bands construct their sound with. I saw Sabbath three times on that tour. The show lasted maybe 80 minutes. The set list was the same. EVERY NIGHT. Same order. Same introductions. Same everything. You would think by the last night at Jones Beach they'd have thrown fans SOMETHING just to help fight their own boredom but they just lazily plodded through their final set. I'm telling you this because Ozzy's recent tour with his new solo band has been phenomenal. Did you see what he's been closing his shows out with? Fire In The Sky. FIRE IN THE SKY!!!!!!!! Off of Zack Wylde's album debut with the Prince of Darkness, 1987's No Rest For The Wicked. Hadn't been played in decades. He's pulling out Shot In The Dark. His shows are up to TWO HOURS FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The last Ozzfest clocked in at 75 minutes. WITH A SOLO FROM ZACK.

I just have a feeling he'll just fall in line with another Sabbath tour, play the same 12 songs we've been paying to see since they reunited back in 1997, and go through the motions for ten months. He's spoken out against the rest of Sabbath's greed and laziness as far back as 1984 when the group reunited for a disastrous one off gig at Live Aid in Philadelphia. Ozzy missed a ton of shows during the last Ozz Fest tour. If Sabbath is going to reunite AGAIN, let's hope it's for REAL. Fans will get their money's worth and the band will WORK to make that happen
