Today's announcement that the original members of Black Sabbath plan to release a brand new album and tour the world in 2012 was the best piece of music news
that I have heard in quite some time. Perhaps all of that noise about 11 11 11 being an auspicious date wasn't too far off the mark.
There have been several reformations since the late 90s and the band have acquitted themselves quite well in each instance. Their first crack at recording a full length disc with the original four in 2001 was aborted, with only a couple of tracks seeing the light of day.
Here's hoping that the new material is strong and that Ozzy, Geezer, Tony and Bill show a new generation of rock fans why their music has remained vital after 41 years.

This I definitely want to see in concert. An opportunity of a lifetime....
Me too. I'm looking forward to it!
Blah. I saw them at the tail end of the Ozzfest tour where Maiden also played and they sucked. Rather, Ozzy sucked. Lost his voice, threw the mic on the ground and stormed offstage. Same ten songs they always play. Unless this new album is really kick ass I won't even bother with this.
