So they never toured Australia even with Dio at the mic? that sounds weird. Yet another reason not to live in Australia

Written by Valentin B on 31.10.2012 at 20:55 I'd rather live down under than in Romania, mate. But I would say that, I'm an Aussie. We didn't need Black Sabbath touring during the Dio years, we had home grown talent to keep us occupied.

Written by Valentin B on 31.10.2012 at 20:55 I saw them with Dio in 2007 as Heaven & Hell - it's referring to the original lineup. Also, suck my balls As far as the "not a reunion without Bill Ward" line, it must be said that of the original four, he is the most replaceable, and that the vast majority of fans (myself included) would be happy to take any chance they can get to see the others playing together. Not to mention it's been covered in detail, and it seems he doesn't want to play ball. You're just being stubborn for the sake of it.

That masked thing looks like Vic Rattlehead.

Written by Ocean Sage on 31.10.2012 at 23:30 QFT. But I am still pretty excited to at least see Tony and Geezer playing together. Their guitar/bass together I find is the best part of Sabbath. Heck the only albums that aren't "true sabbath" are the ones without Geezer, especially since Tony just wanted them to be called his solo albums.
