I mean let's face it, for 25 years (1970-1995) Sabbath had been fairly consistent with their album releases (the biggest time gap being only 3 years)...then came the reunion with Ozzy... So what am I annoyed with? With the exception of a couple of songs they recorded and all the world tours they did, we pretty much got a decade of nothing! All that time and nothing! It wouldn't be until Heaven & Hell came around that we finally got something. Seeing Ozzy back with Sabbath is great and all but I would rather hear a new Sabbath album (with new material) by a lineup I'm not all that familiar with than hear another Ozzy-Sabbath live album with all the same songs. At least with the Tony Martin lineup one could hear a Black Sabbath song from practically every album instead of ones just from the Ozzy years. So again my question is...Am I the only one annoyed that the 1997 Black Sabbath Reunion brought us next to nothing while we might have gotten another ten years of consistent album releases? ------------- https://dawnapproach.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - https://dawnapproach.bandcamp.com/ https://soundcloud.com/dawn-approach" rel="nofollow - https://soundcloud.com/dawn-approach |

Probably!
 Because taken together with the facts, it doesn't make sense. Because by the time of Forbidden, Black Sabbath was a dead duck for all practical purposes. Metalheads who were around in USA and had been following Sabbath for a long time say Sabbath were consigned to playing tiny clubs at one point and the Ozzy reunion in fact revived interest in the band. Nothing came out of it and I am thankful for that in a way because I really wouldn't want to listen to MORE Ozzy-Sabbath (though I love the original set of Ozzy albums madly), especially in the 90s. Eventually, Dio's solo career drifted into oblivion and Dio and Iommi put their differences aside - seem to have - and gave us Devil You Know this year under the name of Heaven and Hell!  |
