Re: Black Sabbath '13' Anyone else excited?

The whole Bill Ward saga has soured the project for me.
So I won't be buying this.
Plus, Ozzy hasn't been able to sing for the last 10 years (assuming you think he ever could).
I like Ozzy-era Sabbath, I LOVE Dio era Sabbath, the H&H reunion was a live triumph, although I found The Devil You Know patchy.
The live DVD is excellent.
I do think Ozzy era Sabbath is underrated. There's a lot going on musically, they had some great ideas (until the wheels came off).
And then Ronnie changed things, he wrote melodies and lyrics in a different way (across riffs rather than following them Ozzy style), and gave 'em a new lease of life.
They've got a lot to live up to.
