LOS ANGELES, May 18, 2004 Call it a mandate from the people. Call it a rumor that just wont die. Call it what you want, but since the April 27 release of the CD/DVD Black Box: The Complete Original Black Sabbath (1970-1978), theres been enormous public demand for a Black Sabbath tour. Original Black Sabbath members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler (as well as Osbourne-solo band member Mike Bordin, on drums) will storm the U.S., performing 26 shows on OZZfest, starting July 10 in Hartford, Conn.
The reviews of Black Box have been phenomenal: Rolling Stone: [Black Box] sounds even better in this eight-CD/one DVD set than it did on vinyl all the Sabbath youll ever need. 4 STARS. Spin noted, Black Box collects the first eight albums ... all skull-crushingly heavy. For its part, Details declared: This is evil, calling the anthology a boot crushing a windpipe teeth on bone. And Time Out New York proclaimed, Black Box compiles a body of work more central to modern, popular music than that of any band since The Beatles.
I dont know why Bill Ward isnt joining them this time, I saw them on Ozzfest 2001 fucking phenomenal and now we have both Black Sabbath and Judas Priest not to mention Slayer on the same bill. I am gonna buy my ticket really soon.
