What are you talking about? Randy was from his solo years, not with Sabbath...

I can't imagine Ozzy can even stand under his own power anymore. Don't see this happening.

Seen the original line up back in 2000 - if that tour comes near my area I'll see them again.

And this new album they're working on is being produced by Rick Ruban - interesting.

Be nice if they could come back and make some new music rather than the inevitable Lets-Play-All-Our-Old-Songs-And-Call-It-A-Day Tour. Then again... they probably shouldn't, as metal (doom specifically) has come a long way since their original removeal of Ozzy.

To be fair they are making a new album and are touring. They'll probably play 1 or 2 songs off that album.

I saw Ozzy last year during his Scream tour and he played a few new songs off that album which was cool.

Iommi's riffs still kicks ass and well...Ozzy is still Ozzy so I think this might actually be a comeback that could work. I admire Iommi's creativity when it comes to making it simple and still keeping it fresh all these years..

I should have said recording - his singing for the most part has sounded the same and it's more coherent than his normal speech.

Sure. Though in the studio he's got hundreds of takes and all sorts of studio trickery to get it right.

I think a tour would've been an alright idea. However a new album, I think that is pushing it.

Sure it could, but it doesn't necessarily. That stuff eats up a lot of studio time, and studio time costs a lot of money. Many artists couldn't afford that even if they were inclined to use it.

I bet the new album is going to be good. Ozzy has music he was making with a new guitarist and I guess it didn't pan out too well so he is getting some help. Ozzy wants to fill up the arenas. Looking forward to this.

No, the artist pays for that stuff. The record label at most fronts them the money to do so. Whatever money the label spends on behalf of the band the band owes back to the label and does not see a single penny of royalties until the label has made it back.

A legendary metal band is reuniting and a newer generation has the chace to see them live. And you say that's a bad thing? lol

Ozzy can still sing and he puts on a hell of a show.
