FIRST POST: SABBATH REUNITE? MELVINS IN THE UK!

I start my tasty little blog with news from my two favourite bands... EVER! 

a promising start!

First up the godfathers of all that's down-tuned, snail-paced, heavy and UGLY! Black Sabbath!
The original members; Bill Ward (drums), Geezer Butler (bass), Ozzy Osbourne (vocals) and riff lord Tony Iommi (guitar) are reuniting! Early days yet but talk of dates and possibly new material!! 
The surprise being that since the last time the guys where together all members have publicly gone on record saying there was no possibility of this line up coming back together again and it certainly looked that way with the formation (or reformation) of Heaven & Hell with (late, great) Ronnie James Dio. 
But since the death of Dio the cynics could well of been saying this news was only a matter of time, but fuck that! its sabbath! 
As for new material, I'm not holding my breath the last offerings "Psycho man" and "Selling my soul" on the "reunion" album didn't exactly set the world alight but we'll have to wait and All most fans will care about is to have the opportunity to see the originators doing what they do best again live!
