  1. Great band, their 70's stuff was the best, if anyone here is a fan they have to check out Bedemon-Child Of Darkness.

     

    Bedemon was a band that Pentagram members Bobby Leibling and Geof O'Keef were in for a brief time with the groups main member Randy Palmer who formed the band.

    I cannot believe someone actually thought 'Return of the Auschwitz' would be in any way appropriate. Manages to be grossly insulting, racist, and wildly inappropriate-then they stick a picture of a skull (presumably indicating a concentration camp victim) on the cover. Unless there is some kind of neo Nazi bootlegger somewhere, what on earth were they thinking?

    Yeah, pretty bad taste.

    I am not a fan of that Album and the Video of them from that tour at Hammersmith was a chance lost as the sound is dreadful. I lost interest in Sabbath really when Ozzy was kicked out. Bit like your Avatar. Saw Rainbow in 1978 and lost interest soon after Dio left. I mean Graham Bonnet?

    Yeah not crazy about post Dio Rainbow, it was a total different sound with Bonnet and Turner.

    Thing is - the three of them haven't worked together since 1980. A lot of time passed, not to mention certainly Robert and John Paul have gone in very different directions. Im not so sure they still have that magic together. Not to mention Bonzo was a big part of their sound. 

    This is a very true statement and something I hadn’t thought about, it makes sense, it probably would’ve taken them a long time to put something great together and perhaps Robert felt the chemistry just wasn’t there anymore so he decided to opt against it.

     

    And you’re also right about Bonzo, I feel Bill did the same for Sabbath and while 13 is decent I think it could’ve been a lot better with Bill’s creativity, maybe Rick Rubin didn’t want that.

    I like 13, it's their best album since Sabotage imho.

    I would say their best album since The Devil You Know, or if you’re an Ozzy only guy Never Say Die! Now The Devil You Know, that was possibly their last greatest album after Dehumanizer, it wasn’t formulated after the Dio era, if anything it was their heaviest and doomiest sounding album since Master of Reality.

  6. I was just talking about Zep reuniting and putting out an album in another thread, I know there were talks about Rainbow getting back together with Ronnie before his passing, how great that would've been and imagine the album, loved Ronnie's Dungeons, Dragons and Wizard themes, they always put me in a mystical place.

    Suffering

    I have to take a two week rotation of the after hours emergency line, this is my last weekend but its brutal. Believe me, the freaks come out at night. Have not had a decent sleep in two weeks.

     

    I feel for you man, I know what it's like not to get peaceful sleep, I stress all the time.

    Thing is, producer boy insisted that 13 sounded as much like 1970 Black Sabbath as possible - even down to rejecting riffs if they didn't fit the 'immediately post-first album' vibe he was after. I don't think 13 is the album they'd've made if left up to their own devices.
    I'm ok with Zeppelin putting a full stop on it after the O2.

    I agree, I don't think it would sound like it does had they done their own thing, and if Bill had been a part of it, still not a bad album though.

    I have to disagree, I would've loved for Zep to have put out a new album, imagine the possibilties?

  9. When I hear things like this, it makes me sad because when they got back together for that one show, Jimmy wanted to do an album, but Robert didn't want to and I keep thinking what could've been and what that album would be like.

    Even if Robert didn't want to do a world tour in support of the album, they could've given us an album.

    I heard Black Sabbath's 13, their reunion album with Ozzy and I have to say it wasn't bad, kind of formulated and what you would expect from Ozzy era Sabbath, but still good and I'm sure their diehard fans if no one else were head over heals over the album and tour, if only for nostalgia's sake.
