Even though their respective managements have not officially released any information, Rafabasa webzine in Madrid, Spain is reporting exclusively that starting in June, 2007 there will be a reunion tour of a group going by the name HEAVEN & HELL.

At this time, there are no dates confirmed, but the tour booking agent is offering the band to the promoters of the most important heavy metal festivals taking place next year.

Under the name Heaven & Hell you will find TONI IOMMI, RONNIE JAMES DIO, GEEZER BUTLER and BILL WARD.

Evidently if everything is confirmed, they will be playing a set consisting of music from every single CD that Ronnie James Dio performed with BLACK SABBATH, to include Heaven & Hell, Mob Rules, Live Evil and Dehumanizer.

The reunion cannot tour under the name Black Sabbath, or BLACK SABBATH WITH DIO, due to the fact that the copyright of the name is the property of OZZY OSBOURNE and his wife/manager Sharon Osbourne.

The four horsemen of the apocalypse are riding out of Novia Scotia...brandishing Gibson SG's.

Anyone prefer Dio to Ozzy?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 28 September 2006 00:00 (nineteen years ago)

DEMON.

Oh wait.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 28 September 2006 00:00 (nineteen years ago)

i would go to this

You need to be the opener, sir.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 28 September 2006 00:08 (nineteen years ago)

I would go see this. Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules are both top notch metal albums. It's a different kind of Black Sabbath, and it's better than the Sabbath of the last two records w/Ozzy.

When did "Black Sabbath" become the exclusive property of Ozzy and Sharon?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 28 September 2006 00:42 (nineteen years ago)

They probably handed the rights back over when he rejoined. Moneywise I bet it was worth it.

― Zwan (miccio), Thursday, 28 September 2006 00:48 (nineteen years ago)

They should have the two guys who were overdubbed off the Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman albums open the shows.

That was both records? I thought it was just Diary...

sharon: "OK, other members of Black Sabbath. YOu are very stupid. Sign this bit of paper and you will get some munnay"

OMOBS: "woah! Did someone say munnay?

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 28 September 2006 06:49 (nineteen years ago)

"Please, Sharon, please, please, please, Sharon..."

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Thursday, 28 September 2006 06:54 (nineteen years ago)

Can we presume ~~ozzy~~ Sharon and the others in the band have fallen out then?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 28 September 2006 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

I wish Sharon would fuck right off, forever.

― Leopold Boom! (noodle vague), Thursday, 28 September 2006 14:18 (nineteen years ago)

Agreed.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 28 September 2006 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

awesome! i saw dio some years ago and he was awesome! (even w/the cheezeball guitarist from Love/Hate playing lead)

― M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 28 September 2006 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

Whatever happened to Tony "The Cat" Martin?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 28 September 2006 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

was he on the headless cross? i have a live VHS of that tour (which my wife actually got when she was working at Minnesota Public Radio, they were clearing out books and other stuff they got sent but didn't want to keep haha), god it was terrible.

― M@tt He1geson: Real Name, No Gimmicks (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 28 September 2006 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

This sounds good. I will see this show. I'm shocked Iommi gave up the name, though, especially to that bitch and her doddering lapdog. Iommi IS Black Sabbath.

― Bill Magill (Bill Magill), Thursday, 28 September 2006 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

Iommi IS Black Sabbath

amen...and huzzah!

― J. Grizzle (trainsmoke), Thursday, 28 September 2006 16:14 (nineteen years ago)

this is an extremely funny/interesting thread if you have zero knowledge/understanding of sabbath/ozzy or metal in general at all.

― pisces (piscesx), Thursday, 28 September 2006 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

WTF are you talking about, UltimateOzzyFan63?

― Leopold Boom! (noodle vague), Thursday, 28 September 2006 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

yeah man, clarify.

I betcha that show would be real good. Bill has gotten his game back.

― veronica moser (veronica moser), Thursday, 28 September 2006 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe they'll get Gillan back in next, there's unfinished business there.

― Matt #2 (Matt #2), Thursday, 28 September 2006 17:37 (nineteen years ago)

The 1980 "Black And Blue" movie with Dio-Sabbath & Blue Oyster Cult is outstanding... I should just get the DVD.
