TONY MARTIN 'VOICES OF ROCK'
New Studio Recording (1 song)
Eric: alors que je trainais à HIT (célèbre et unique disquaire hard de Nice) je suis tombé (sans me faire mal) par hasard sur un album digi intitulé VOICES OF ROCK. Quelle ne fut pas ma surprise de découvrir que la première chanson "Into the night" était interprétée par Tony MARTIN (il a même participé à l'écriture et à la composition de ce titre!).
La production et le son sont excellents. Les musiciens sont au top. Il y a un chanteur différent pour chaque morceau. Hormis le titre de TM (et 1 ou 2 autres titres), l'ensemble est plus ou moins FM.
voici l'adresse http://www.myspace.com/voicesofrock.
Merci Eric R. pour cette info & trouvaille.

COUNT RAVEN
Count Raven - Mammons War Lovingly pinched from Hellride Music: Mammons War should have been The Devil You Know. The former surpasses expectations while the latter largely fell short. I think it’s safe to say that some of you that felt underwhelmed by Heaven & Hell’s debut record, will find refuge in Count Raven’s Mammons War.
Fodde is no RJD in the voice department (but damn close to Black Sabbath’s original singer), but the man’s command of not only the all-important guitar, as well as the keys, string arrangements and poignant lyrics definitely help to shore up any gaps that may be perceived in the vocal department.
Thirteen years after the release of the brilliant Messiah of Confusion and 3 years since the 2003 reunion with original collaborators Tommy Eriksson and Christer “Renfield” Petterson went south, Dan “Fodde” Fondelius resurrects the Count Raven moniker with the Mammons War release.

OZZY OSBOURNE COMICS!
| 'Hard Rock Heroes' Cover Featuring OZZY OSBOURNE, SLASH Unveiled - Oct. 15, 2009 | |
MTV News has uploaded the cover for "Hard Rock Heroes", the first volume in a series of 10 bi-monthly "Rock 'N' Roll Comics" graphic novels that Bluewater Productions plans to re-publish. "Hard Rock Heroes" is comprised by several biographical comics focusing on GUNS N' ROSES, METALLICA, MEGADETH, BLACK SABBATH and other heavy-rocking bands. It is described as "300 pages of comic book art and rock 'n' roll music joining together for your reading pleasure." The graphic novel features stories from many talented comic book creators, including Stuart Immonen ( "Superman: End of the Century"), Mike Sagara ( "Ninja High School"), Jay Allan Sanford ( "Overheard in San Diego") and more. This collector's item features a selection of biographical revolutionary "Rock 'N' Roll Comics", originally issued in the late '80s and early '90s. Several of these comics reportedly resulted in lawsuits against the company, including the ones about BON JOVI and MÖTLEY CRÜE. A threatened suit by GUNS N' ROSES brought the comics and the publisher, Todd Loren, a lot of publicity that translated into huge sales for the line. Retailing at $17.99, "Hard Rock Heroes" will feature an epilogue covering notable milestones that occurred after the issues' original release, such as the arrival of the long-delayed GUNS N' ROSES album "Chinese Democracy".

TONY IOMMI
| TONY IOMMI To Guest On BBC's 'Rock Show With Daniel P Carter' - Nov. 4, 2009 | |
BLACK SABBATH/ HEAVEN & HELL guitarist Tony Iommi will be interviewed on BBC Radio 1's "Rock Show With Daniel P Carter" this coming Monday night, November 9 between 12 midnight GMT (7:00 p.m. EST) and 2:00 a.m. GMT (9:00 p.m. EST). The program will also be available for seven days at this location. Iommi told Tim Masters of BBC News that he is making a good recovery after receiving stem-cell treatment on an injured hand. "It's coming on alright actually," the acclaimed guitarist told the BBC at the Classic Rock Awards on Monday. "I've already had the stem-cell treatment, so I've just got to wait now. It's been six weeks but it's feeling great." Iommi had been in pain after problems with his right hand joints. He told the BBC Radio 2 "Radcliffe and Maconie Show" in October that the cartilage had worn out between the joints. "It was bone to bone and it was getting a bit painful," he said. Iommi had his hand strapped up at the rock awards, but said he was still able to pick up his guitar. "No, I can play! " he said. "I'm just wearing this now because if people shake your hand I don't want to push it, I want to take it easy for a bit. "But it's been really good, and I'm glad I went that route before having any kind of operation." Photo below: Tony Iommi and Daniel P. Carter

BLACK SABBATH LPS DELUXE REMASTERS - 10/2009
Les LPs sont dispo une partie chez Gibert Joseph à Paris, ils ne sont pas évident à trouver! Les CDs plus dénichables mais pas si évident de trouver les 5 d'un coup! En outre le seul hypermarché au monde qui assure, reste celui de Cora St Maximin (Creil) qui propose ces derniers en quantité! Incroyable! Faut dire aussi que cet hyper vend également du LP en Hard Rock!!!! Les Fnac? Hum....pas évident! Quelques exemplaires par exemple à celle de Cergy, visiblement rien à celle d'Amiens et rien à celle de Creil-St Maximin. Celles des Champs et du Forum, n'étaient pas livrées alors que chez Gibert c'était en stock. Virgin, lui, arnaque en vendant ces derniers environ 14 euros pièce!!!! GULPPP!!!! Mais pour ceux qui résident vers Cergy, au Grand Cercle d'Eragny, j'ai vu un exemplaire de Sabbath Bloody Sabbath à moins de 8 euros! Prix incroyable!

RONNIE JAMES DIO
| RONNIE JAMES DIO: 'I Had A Guitar Player Who Had A Crooked Cock' | |
Eleanor Goodman of Bizarre magazine recently conducted an interview with legendary heavy metal vocalist Ronnie James Dio ( HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW, DIO). A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below. Bizarre: Do you believe in ghosts? Dio: When I was in RAINBOW, we were at a place called the Château, north of Paris. There wasn't a lot to do other than record, so one day we had a séance. We contacted this woman named Sarah who kept saying nothing but "Kill Thomas, kill Thomas, kill Thomas." This went on for a week. So we asked Sarah some questions, and found out Thomas was her son, who she wanted us to kill because he killed her, in childbirth. We asked if we could talk to someone else and the glass started to go everywhere. It said: "I am Baal. I create chaos. You will never finish this project." It got a lot more involved than that. That's the tip of the iceberg. Bizarre: What's the closest you've come to death? Dio: An automobile accident in the early days of ELF. Our driver was killed, as well as my best friend and lead guitar player. I went through the windscreen and then back, ripped a part of my scalp off, broke a leg and broke an arm. One of the guitar players in the back hit his face on the engine and had 16 stitches near his eye, and one almost had his legs amputated… it just went on and on. Just a horrible experience. Bizarre: What does your orgasm face look like? Dio: I don't know… I don't think I've ever really looked! Probably white and sticky. Bizarre: Have you ever seen any quirky genitalia? Dio: I had a guitar player who had a crooked cock. It was hard to miss; I guess he was proud of it. Sometimes we had to pee together and you know, you check it out. Bizarre: I thought you weren't meant to! Dio: Yeah, you can sneak a peek! You can look and go, "Holy, look at the size…" and then tell your friends, "Some guy was in the toilet with a knob like a bell!" But you don't give it a stare, for sure. Bizarre: What's the oddest thing you've eaten? Dio: I don't eat vegetables, because I can't stand the sliminess – like green beans. Or anything that looks like it's got something still growing inside it. I do eat potatoes, they're like a quasi-vegetable; and I'll eat tomatoes as long as they're crushed up in a sauce. Other than that, I only eat meat. So, kangaroo. Bizarre: And now, the classic Bizarre challenge: choose between coprophilia, necrophilia and bestiality and explain your decision. Dio: If I had to choose, bestiality. I certainly don't want to screw any dead people and I don't want to eat shit; at least there's some kind of sexualness going on in the other one that I can get a live perspective on, anyway.

OZZY OSBOURNE INFOS:
by Blabbermouth
| Actor EWAN MCGREGOR Dresses Up As OZZY OSBOURNE; Photo Available - Oct. 29, 2009 | |
According to STV Entertainment, "Angels And Demons" and "Star Wars" star Ewan McGregor conned revellers at a fancy dress party into thinking he was Ozzy Osbourne. McGregor — who played Obi Wan Kenobi — confessed the ruse to American talk show host Jay Leno. The 38-year-old star dressed up in black, with shades and a wig to impersonate the BLACK SABBATH singer. He showed off photographs of the prank (see below) to Leno and said, "I just did a lot of shuffling around. They thought I was him. I was delighted." Ewan McGregor as Ozzy Osbourne

| OZZY OSBOURNE: 'I Want To Give The Audience My Heart And Soul Every Night' - Oct. 30, 2009 | |
Ray Waddell of Billboard.com reports: Billboard will fete Ozzy Osbourne with the "Legend of Live" award at the 2009 Billboard Touring Awards, set for November 5 at New York's Roosevelt Hotel. The "Legend of Live" award recognizes an individual who has made significant and lasting contributions to live music and the touring business, and acknowledges the recipient's commitment to the art of performing live and reaching fans through the concert experience. Ozzy recently moved his booking responsibilities to William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, where his responsible agent is contemporary music head Marc Geiger — one of the founders of Lollapalooza. " WME is thrilled that we get to work with Ozzy," says Geiger. "I don't even know what to say, as he has accomplished so much in so many areas, let alone his influence on thousands of rock musicians and fans. We are just lucky to be able to work with him…and by the way, the new record sounds incredible. Ozzy rules." Ozzy would be the first to admit he's not perfect. And the road can become a grind these days. "I want to give the audience my heart and soul every night, but sometimes I pull it off and sometimes I don't," he says. "We're human. I don't use any tricks, I don't lip synch my voice, what you see is what you get. I've done my fair share of bad gigs, and I'm not embarrassed to say that."

| OZZY OSBOURNE, RAY DAVIES Rehearse With METALLICA For ROCK HALL Concert; Photos Available - Oct. 30, 2009 | |
Several photos of Ozzy Osbourne ( BLACK SABBATH) and Ray Davies ( THE KINKS) rehearsing with METALLICA on Thursday (October 29) at SIR Studios in New York for tonight's Rock And Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden can be found below. Also scheduled to perform with METALLICA at the show is Lou Reed. On Monday (October 26), METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett spoke with ExploreMusic about the band's appearance at the second of two concerts in New York City celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. He said, "The people behind the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame were so impressed by our induction and our attitude toward the induction and all the good, positive things we had to say about the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame that they actually asked us back to participate in this benefit . . . We're gonna be playing with Ray Davies — we're gonna be playing 'You Really Got Me' with him; we're gonna be playing with Lou Reed, we're gonna be playing a Lou Reed song; and then we're gonna be playing with Ozzy, we're gonna be playing a BLACK SABBATH song. And it should be a lot of fun." METALLICA was inducted into the Hall of Fame this past April. Tonight's show will also feature U2, BECK, BUDDY GUY, ARETHA FRANKLIN, ANNIE LENNOX, LENNY KRAVITZ and JERRY LEE LEWIS. Guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield explained that when METALLICA was inducted into the Rock Hall earlier this year, they bypassed all the politics that most bands usually get mired in: " Rock And Roll Hall of Fame was always so notorious for the drama and the 'oh, he's out of the band, and he's not showing up 'cause of this and that' and all that crap. And we didn't want that. So we invited everyone and everybody, and whoever showed up, it was up to them." Highlights of both nights' Madison Square Garden concerts will be part of a four-hour broadcast next month on HBO. | |

| OZZY OSBOURNE Interviewed On 'The Paul O'Grady Show'; Video Available - Nov. 1, 2009 | |
Legendary BLACK SABBATH singer Ozzy Osbourne was interviewed on the October 8, 2009 edition of "The Paul O'Grady Show" a British comedy chat show hosted by comedian Paul O'Grady. The format is a teatime chat show that consists of a mixture of celebrity guests, comic stunts, musical performances, and occasionally viewer competitions. Watch video of Ozzy's appearance below. Ozzy and his wife/manager Sharon will guest-host this week's edition of "WWE Raw", the professional wrestling television program for World Wrestling Entertainment ( WWE) that currently airs on the USA network in the United States. As previously reported, Ozzy joined METALLICA for their October 30, 2009 performance at Madison Square Garden as part of the 25th-anniversary celebration of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hachette Audio has just released the audiobook version of "I Am Ozzy". The book, which was originally slated to arrive almost two years ago but was delayed twice, was published in the U.K. on October 1. "I Am Ozzy" chronicles the star's humble beginnings in the U.K. to his current position as international music and TV celebrity. Publisher Antonia Hodgson called the book "fantastic," adding that it was "very much in the tone of his voice, very funny and a very full story." Sharon Osbourne published her own best-selling memoir in 2005, called "Extreme: My Autobiography". A second volume was rushed out in 2008 after Ozzy's book was delayed. Ozzy is working on a new album that he expects to release next year.

TONY IOMMI
| TONY IOMMI: Photos Of 'Radcliffe And Maconie' Appearance Available - | |
Legendary heavy metal guitarist Tony Iommi ( HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH) was a guest on the October 20, 2009 edition of BBC Radio 2's "The Radcliffe And Maconie Show". A couple of photos taken during Tony's appearance on the program can be viewed below. Regarding recent reports that he was due to undergo surgery on his hand, Iommi said, "I've had this problem with my hand and I've had this stem cell treatment on it. [I have to wear a guard on my hand] to stop me from banging it. But it's coming on good. The cartilage [was worn out between] the joints, and the joints [were] rubbing on the joints. It was bone to bone and it was getting a bit painful. And I've done it for quite awhile — 18 months — and I've been taking anti-inflammatories and painkillers. But I just wanted to stop doing it, 'cause it upsets your stomach, and get it done. This is the latest thing, so we'll see if it works." Iommi, who is left-handed, lost the tips of the middle and ring finger of his right hand in an accident when he was a sheet metal worker, aged 17. Iommi said: "The hospital told me that I should give up the guitar but I went back and made these thimbles from melted Fairy Liquid bottles. I melted them down and soldered them to make a fingertip. It was a crude version but I still have to use them today." According to The Times, the Robens Centre for Health Ergonomics at the University of Surrey has researched musculoskeletal disorders that affect electric guitar players. Peter Buckle said: "We have found a whole set of injuries affecting the hand, arms and wrist which you would normally associate with working on a hard, fast production line. "Strain injuries result from overexertion and the way that guitarists hold their instruments. The temptation for younger musicians is to press too hard on the strings and try to force the frets. "Holding the instrument away from the body to excite an audience may look good but it can put a huge pressure on the shoulder and upper arms."

OZZY IS BACK!
Après l'affaire du procès Ozzy / Iommi, la magie semblait prendre un sacré coup dans l'aile. Alors, je pense qu'il est temps de prendre un peu de hauteur et de rester un peu plus neutre dans cette sombre affaire. Ozzy est sous l'emprise de Sharon depuis des années, est-il encore capable d'agir par lui même? Chacun connait la réponse! Comme je le disais à certains fans, profitons du fait que les 4 membres historiques du grp soient toujours en vie! Idem pour notre plus puissant chanteur RJ Dio!
| OZZY OSBOURNE: 'Falling In Love With SHARON Was The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me' | |
U.K.'s Mirror.co.uk recently conducted an interview with legendary heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Mirror.co.uk: So your autobiography, "I Am Ozzy", is finally out. Is there anything left to shock us with?
Ozzy Osbourne: Well, it's not exactly a bedtime story. Not one for the grandkids. I've had a pretty eventful life. You can't put Ozzy Osbourne's life down in 350 pages. There might be another nine instalments to come yet… Everyone knows about the bat and the dove, but there's lots of other really funny stuff in there. And what's kept me alive all these years is I've had a good sense of humour.
Mirror.co.uk: What have been your proudest and most shameful moments?
Ozzy Osbourne: I regret trying to kill Sharon. It wasn't my plan to go out, get pissed, try to strangle her and wake up in jail. My best moment was being successful on my own after BLACK SABBATH. And having my kids. And getting sober.
Mirror.co.uk: Does it bug you that you're most famous for biting the head off a bat/pair of doves?
Ozzy Osbourne: What would happen if I did that today? "Ozzy Bit The Heads Off A Pair Of Doves." So what? But it's going to be on my fucking gravestone. You'd think it was all I'd ever done, but I've done a lot more fucking things than that. When people ask what it's like to bite the head off a bat, I get kind of pissed off because they haven't done much research.
Mirror.co.uk: What would have happened if you hadn't met [wife/manager] Sharon?
Ozzy Osbourne: I'd be dead. I'd have killed myself by now. Falling in love with Sharon was the best thing that ever happened to me. She was patient, she stuck by me. Someone asked me, "Imagine if it was the other way around, you were the sober one and she was the one on the floor covered in piss and puke every day. How long do you think you would last?" And I was like, "Fuck, that's a good question." I really don't know the answer. She stuck it out. Her being sober saved me. She's not a big drinker — she has a few glasses of wine and she goes fucking nuts.
Mirror.co.uk: So how is sobriety? Does it ever get boring?
Ozzy Osbourne: Who? Oh. Well, no. What happened with me was I'd get unhappy, then I'd have a drink and I'd get unhappier. So what's the fucking point in doing something that makes you feel worse? There was a time when it was fucking great — cocaine, booze, women and all the rest, but as life went on, it got a bit shallow.
Mirror.co.uk: What's your biggest vice these days?
Ozzy Osbourne: I'm an exercise addict. I do the cross trainer and a jump rope every day. I don't do fucking yoga or wheatgrass shots, though. Everyone in California tries to get me to have it, and it's like something out of a pond. If only people would live their lives rather than trying to save their lives, we'd all be much better off.
Mirror.co.uk: How do you manage when she's not around?
Ozzy Osbourne: Well, it's a bit quieter. Normally I go to bed and it's my wife, the dog, a cell phone and a fucking computer. She manages herself and her career, me and my career, the kids and their careers, she fucking does everything.

Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. His earliest recordings were made with an internal microphone deck, and though they are somewhat lo-fi compared to his later work, some very great moments in rock history were captured for posterity. In late 1974 he bought a Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began using Maxell cassettes. He was also fortunate enough to have a friend who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high quality recordings. In 1977, he switched over to a Nakamichi 550 tape recorder, two Nakamichi CM-300 microphones, and continued using Maxell cassettes.
He recorded many of the major 70's bands: Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, ELP, Kiss, Black Sabbath, The Who, Al Stewart, Alice Cooper, Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp, Jean-Luc Ponty, Moody Blues, Neil Young, The Faces, Rush, Rick Wakeman, Kansas, as well as several "under the radar" acts.
Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ'ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording.
Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness and generosity by sharing these recordings freely.
The transfers are available as 16bit/44.1KHz flac files suitable for CD burning, and also as 24bit/96KHz flac files for those who prefer the higher resolution.
Always remember - the more generous you are with your music, the more it comes back to you.

Voici un groupe que j'ai découvert dès le premier LP! Un retour après 13 ans de silence, sauf quelques concerts, depuis rien! C'est le grand retour de Count Raven! Enfin! Amateurs de Sabbath époque Ozzy, ce disque est pour vous! Dan Fondelius, chante toujours dans un registre à la Ozzy, les riffs lourds, un son puissant, une excellente production. L'inspiration? Toujours au rendez-vous, c'est une bonne surprise, alors un conseil, ne loupez pas Mammons War, d'ailleurs le morceau du même titre en plage 5, dispose d'un son très original, sublime, Dan fait vraiment songer à Ozzy sans jamais friser la sombre copie ou se ridiculiser, au contraire ce groupe est toujours capable de se régénérer, et de dénicher des morceaux conceptuels nouveaux. Bravo Dan Fondelius! Ozzy devrait pondre un disque de ce style, bien lourd, dans le trip des premiers Sabbath! Arrgghhhhh!
 13 years have passed since Messiah of Confusion but little has changed in the Count Raven camp. They have returned, they still sound like the natural extension of Osbourne-era Black Sabbath, and they still rock. They've always been one of the better bands to carry that torch, and please do not be surprised when you pop this on and exclaim "Oh my God this man sounds just like Ozzy!". Because that is really the point of any Count Raven release, to further widen the pantheon of traditional doom's progenitors. Ozzy's last few albums have been pure manure anyway, so where will you turn?
"The Poltergeist" packs a pure rock'n'roll groove which should instantly please fans of the band's former work, as well as more recent bands like Orange Goblin, Terra Firma or Lord Vicar. Riffs are kept simple, big, Iommi-catchy, and there are some nice synths added for the bridge to elevate it. "Scream" breathes a little more slowly, a few chords giving Fodde's vocals room to really capture those early Sabbath heights. The 2nd riff kicks ass alongside the vocals and the bells. "Nashira" opens in the vein of stoner anthems like "Sweet Leaf", and "The Entity" creates a subtle grooving texture, carnal and laid back. Other highlights include the proggy synth-oriented "Mammons War" which sounds like nothing else on this album, or the sorrowful "To Kill a Child". All in all, you are getting over an hour of new music from the bastard stepchildren of traditional doom metal, and you won't disappointed if you enjoyed any of their previous output.
And Mammons War sounds much like those earlier albums, if a little more polished. Full, vibrant riffing with the synths and acoustics mixed in pleasantly where they appear. The drums fluently stride beneath the weight of the riffs, and Fodde's vocals cut through just like 70s Sabbath. If you're not already a fan of Count Raven, and you enjoy the first 4-5 Sabbath albums or their progeny like St. Vitus, this is a no brainer. It's honestly one of the finer albums this band has produced.
Verdict: Win [8.5/10]

BLACK SABBATH 'DELUXE EDITION'
Alors le résultat des courses concernant la réédition des LPs et CDs de Sabbath via Sanctuary Records et distribution de: Universal. Après achat, les LPs sont finalement collectors pour une bonne partie. Par exemple, le LP de Sabotage dispose d'une double pochette, illustrée cette dernière de façon exclusive pour cette édition. Idem double pochette pour Never Say Die, Technical Ecstasy, ce qui n'est pas courrant pour ces LPs. Les CDs, bon, là déception de terminer cette série par un simple CD! Le artwork interne est quand même bien soigné, mais nous attendions plus de cette édition. Nouveaux commentaires 2009 dans les livrets...mais bon, encore une édition de plus en CD pour pas grand chose....finalement.
Ici quelques commentaires de Palmer Eldritch.

Get ready to snap your neck once again. This album is thirty-seven years old, yet still contains more power and beauty in one track than most bands manage in entire lifetimes. The remastering adds the subtlest of polish to the masterpiece, ensuring maximum effect on the tinniest of speakers. Osbourne, Iommi, Butler and Ward at the top of their game. It does not get any better. Even the ‘Lick My Love Pump’ cheesy rhymes of Changes tingle the spine and the stoned pissing-about FX doesn’t detract (well, not much). This is the crest of the Sabbath curve. It was downhill from here but what a height to achieve.

Warning: Rick Wakeman plays on this album. Don’t worry, though. Sabbath may be turning the self-indulgence knob to eleven but the results are still wonderful. You can see where metal’s early antipathy to keyboards began, though, listening to the likes of Sabbra Cadabra. It’s like Jools Holland jamming with Slayer. It’s just wrong. However, the riffs, atmosphere and thump are still present and the remastering once again warms things up perfectly - ideal for an album begun in a castle dungeon. Best enjoyed wearing a tasselled suede jacket (and nothing else), floating in a bath of vodka, with a cocaine atomiser.

I know it was 1975, but you’ve only to look at the cover of this album to know that this band were seriously fucked; Geezer appears to be auditioning for Brotherhood of Man, Iommi is a depressed genie, Ward is caught changing into his moonlighting role as Brum’s most frightening Santa and Ozzy has, once again, been pulled from the Acid Queen’s dressing-up box. Incredible that the album makes any sense at all, then. Astounding that it contains one of their best tracks (Symptom of the Universe). Unbelievable that the remastering has dealt successfully with the original’s tinny timbre (Megalomania excepted). Black Sabbath’s most under-rated album? I think so.

It may start relatively promisingly but this album was another big sign that the glory days of the original Sabbath line-up were over. The dark slabs of doom were being steadily broken in favour of bloated compositions seemingly aimed at some horrorshow Beatles or Queen musical. Check out It’s Alright, where Bill Ward emerges from behind the drums to make a good lead vocal fist on what should really be on some godforsaken Brian May solo album somewhere. Guns n’ Roses used to cover it. You remember them - they were the band who did such a fabulous version of Live And Let Die.
Elsewhere, from Gypsy onwards, we have the beginnings of Tony Iommi seemingly recording himself from the bottom of a tin well. This is something which the remastering has singularly failed to do anything about, which is a great pity but not unexpected. There is a touch more beef but really the songwriting and sound is as thin as it ever was. Indeed, at its worst it seems as if the band are a proto-Motley Crue. Nobody wants that.

I don’t know what was going on with this release, the final one before the resurgence provided by Mr. R. J. Dio. The band appears to be continuing their ‘new direction’ suggested in the previous release, Technical Ecstasy. Unfortunately, to continue the Spinal Tap references, it’s ‘Jazz Odyssey’ - check out Air Dance, or Breakout with its sax solo. Yes, sax solo. The jazz overtones which made the early albums so vital (see Hand of Doom from Paranoid, for example) now sound over-indulgent and nonsensical, like they’d made friends with Kenny G. As with the last album, the heaviness of old has all but gone. Over To You has echoes of it but that’s all they are - echoes. And pretty tinny ones, at that. A sorry end to the glory days with Ozzy but nothing lasts forever. He doesn’t even sing on the last track. Bill Ward does. Ah well.

TONY IOMMI ON BBC Radio 2's
| TONY IOMMI To Guest On BBC RADIO 2's 'The Radcliffe And Maconie Show' - Oct. 13, 2009 | |
Legendary heavy metal guitarist Tony Iommi ( HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH) will be interviewed on BBC Radio 2's "The Radcliffe And Maconie Show" on Tuesday, October 20 between 9 and 10 p.m. (U.K. time). The program will be available to listen to for a week after the broadcast date. For more information, go to this location. As previously reported, Iommi will be IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson's guest on Friday, October 23 during Bruce's weekly BBC 6 Music radio program, dubbed "The Bruce Dickinson Friday Rock Show". Listen to the broadcast live via the Internet between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. (midnight) U.K. time at BBC.co.uk. The management for HEAVEN & HELL vocalist Ronnie James Dio released a statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET on August 27 in an attempt to "quash any rumors that [the group] have broken up." The statement read in part, " Tony Iommi has to have surgery on his hand and [needs] some down time for recovery. Therefore DIO [the band] will be performing some dates in the U.K. and Europe in November/December during this time off. HEAVEN & HELL are already making plans for dates next year." In a recent interview with The Aquarian Weekly, Iommi stated about his surgery, "I've got to have an operation on my hand, and that's sort of a major thing I need to get done and I've been putting it off now. So we're going to have some time off while I get that done. That'll be a bit of a break, I think. Not for everybody, but it'll be some time off from touring for me for sure." When asked what happened to his hand, Iommi replied, "The cartilage is gone from the thumb in my fingering hand. It's been like that now, to be honest, for a year and I've been taking anti-inflammatories and all sorts of stuff to try and calm it down, but it's inevitable I've got to have the operation because the bone is rubbing on the bone. Funny enough, I talked to Eddie Van Halen this morning, because he's had the same sort of problem, so I'm seeing him to have a chat about what happened to him. He thinks it's very successful, so we'll see." Photo below courtesy of Tony Iommi's MySpace page.

A propos du blog, je pense que ce dernier fera un retour plus sérieux début 2010, en ce moment j'ai du déménager de ma résidence 'secondaire' pour une mutation! Bref, moins de temps libre!
BLACK SABBATH: DELUXE EDITION LA SUITE?
NON! c'est foutu, j'ai vu la suite de la réédition DELUXE, de Vol 4 à Never Say Die, en CD version 1 disque uniquement, donc, rien de plus à se mettre sous la dent! L'éditeur vient de saborder cette bonne idée! Il faudra donc se contenter des trois premiers CDs sous cette version . Les autres, un simple digipack de moyenne qualité, aucun bonus! En Lps c'est pareil, bref, c'est encore loupé! J'ai vu ces derniers en import, chez Gibert Joseph à Paris ce lundi, les LPs sont pas donnés presque 21 euros pièce, pour un simple, c'est cher! Shit!
OZZY & SABBATH...NEVER SAY DIE?
| OZZY OSBOURNE On BLACK SABBATH Reunion: 'I Never Say Never Anymore. Just Not Right Now.' - Oct. 12, 2009 | |
U.K.'s Birmingham Post recently conducted an interview with legendary heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne. A few excerpts from the chat follow below. On being a technophobe who can't even send an email: "I don't even know how to turn a computer on. I dictate my e-mails and my assistant Tony loads songs onto my iPod. "I know how to turn on the iPod, adjust the volume and sort out what I want on it but the rest of it, I'm lost. And they've all got iPhones now. I can't even make a call on one of those. I touch the screen and something else happens!" On how, after spending the best part of 40 years on drugs and drink, the alcohol and pharmaceuticals began to take their toll: "I had to come to a decision — do I want to kill myself with drugs and alcohol? "In the old days, whenever I stopped boozing, I always used to think about the good times I was missing. Now all I think about is how the good times always turned bad. "I couldn't tell you how much a pint of beer costs now, and I don't want to know. Which is amazing, considering how much my life used to revolve around the pub. I just ain't interested anymore." On how the book "I Am Ozzy" came about: "I didn't actually put pen to paper, I got someone (writer Chris Ayres) to ask me questions — what I remember about my childhood, and whatever. "He would zone in on a specific thing that I was saying and he'd ask me to elaborate on it. Once it started coming out it was quite easy. At the end of the day, it only took about six weeks. It seemed to fly by." On the possibility of a second volume being released in the future: "I'd like to do something more in-depth later on,. How can you put my life in 400 pages? I've had such an amazing existence over the years. "I remember saying to Chris, 'Have you got enough?' He said, ‘I've got more than enough, there's a lot of stuff I haven't got room to put in so I'm going to save it for another day.' "Once I'm talking, it flies out of me." On going back to Birmingham for last week's book signing where he took to opportunity to look again around his old house and school, Prince Albert, in Albert Road, and Winson Green Prison where he served three months for robbing Sarah Clarke's, a clothes shop in Aston: "My son, Jack, is doing a documentary film on me and my life. I went down to my old house — it's still there but it's changed so much. The guy who owns it now has done a great job renovating it. It's nothing like it used to be." On the fact that he has not given up on another BLACK SABBATH reunion despite on-going legal proceedings between him and guitarist Tony Iommi over the use of the band's name: "With BLACK SABBATH, there's always some litigation going on. We're always having a go at each other, it's like being married, I suppose. "As for getting back with the band, I never say never anymore. Just not right now. If something came up and it was worth doing it'd be stupid not to do it." Read more from Birmingham Post.

OZZY, Atteint du VIH?
(Impossible de ne pas raconter cette affaire)
© AP Photo/Joel Ryan
Ozzy Osbourne avait reçu un résultat positif à un test du VIH, qui s’est finalement avéré être un mauvais résultat, rapporte Music-News.
Le rockeur a été dévasté en apprenant qu’il avait contracté le virus. Il a toutefois appris, à la suite d’une enquête médicale, que le résultat positif était dû à ses nombreuses années de consommation de drogue et d’alcool, qui ont causé beaucoup de dommage à son système immunitaire.
Osbourne a raconté:
«Je suis allé chez le docteur pour passer un test du SIDA et il m’a dit qu’il était positif. Ce fut l’un des pires jours de ma vie.»
Heureusement pour le chanteur, un nouveau test a permis de confirmer qu’il n’était pas atteint du virus. Il explique:
«Il s’avère que, parce que je buvais et consommais autant de drogues, mon système immunitaire s’est tellement affaibli que j’ai eu un résultat limite. Quand j’y suis retourné pour subir un autre test, le résultat a été négatif.»

BLACK SABBATH DELUXE EDITION....UNE SUITE?
Il semble bien difficile de dénicher des infos fiables sur la suite des pressages 'Deluxe' proposés par Sanctuary Records. En effet, une sortie qui était à l'origine annonçée le 21 septembre pour les albums suivants: Vol 4, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Sabotage, Technical Ecstasy et Never Say Die....mais au résultat... rien, enfin en regardant sur le site de la Fnac, je vois poindre une série correspondante à cette liste d'albums. Mais le seul hic, ils sont présentés sur le site en version 1 cd (remasterisé!), si j'ai bien compris. C'est très louche comme affaire. Fini la version 2cds 'Deluxe' ??? Les LP sont mentionnés également, mais, visiblement en simple. Le tout pour une sortie française éventuelle le 16 octobre! Alors...nouvelle arnaque???

| BLACK SABBATH Drummer Previews This Month's 'Rock 50' Show - Sep. 11, 2009 | |
BLACK SABBATH drummer Bill Ward has issued the following update on this month's edition of his "Rock 50" monthly radio show, which airs between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. PST on WPMD, a college radio station at Cerritos College in California: "The radio show airs on Saturday, September 19. Because it’s September, we will be playing songs as a tribute to those who perished and suffered during and after the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01. "Besides our hardcore songs, we'll also be playing some opera, folk, rock and pop songs. "Our show has always been quick to support what we consider to be honorable gestures, and to divert slightly from our normal hardcore show is the least we can do to bring a wider selection of music to this sad anniversary. To not preserve the memories of that fatal day would be to render us amiss and without respect "Rock 50", featuring its regular host Mike Stark, is broadcast over the Internet every Saturday. You can listen to the show live online at this location. For more information about Bill Ward's monthly "Rock 50" radio show, click here.

All of the Iranian records were released in extremely limited numbers. Those releases are from end 50s until begin70s when the last King of Persia (Shah) ruled the country. After change of regime in Iran the government closed all record companies and destroyed all available records on the market.
Une belle pièce, du jamais vu, d'autant que l'on connais bien la madness qui régne dans ce pays depuis 30 ans! Bref, ce n'est pas demain que vous allez revoir cette pièce sur le marché! Comme quoi un pays peut vraiment sombrer dans la connerie la plus totale.

CROSS PURPOSES GREEK LP!
Je connaissais le pressage d'origine, celui de Russie (qui présente l'ange plus grand) et maintenant une édition rare grecque! Le montage de la pochette semble différent pour l'avant, un carré plus sombre entoure l'ange. La mention 'greece' figure sur le cercle central. En photo n°3 vous avez une partie du dos de la pochette.

KISS - Sonic Boom - Classic Rock Review
(Loud & Proud/Roadrunner)
Voici le retour gagnant de Eric Singer, un des plus prestigieux batteurs du Hard Rock, avec une carrière sans faute, de Lita Ford, en passant par deux albums avec Black Sabbath (Seventh Star & Eternal Idol) puis Badlands avec son ami Ray Gillen, sans oublier par la suite Alice Cooper. Je me souviens de ce show du maitre de l'horreur au Schwung Fest en Belgique avec Eric, quelle claque, quel line-up, énorme prestation. Enfin, Eric passera aussi chez Queen, Gary Moore et une multitude de projets.
Aujourd'hui dans la peau de 'Peter Criss', il est le batteur du nouvel album studio de Kiss. Kiss qui joue un coup marketing important. Le visuel des membres originaux, mais sans Ace Frehley, ni même Peter Criss! Superbe invention que ce maquillage qui permet à Paul & Gene de jouer sur la nostalgie à fond les manettes! Yeah! Voir le visuel également du dernier studio, dans le trip ''Love Gun'. Bref, le maquillage était l'invention majeure de Kiss. Black Sabbath pour sa part, devait toujours s'adjoindre au minimum de Tony, Ozzy, Geezer pour faire jouer la carte du line-up originel. Sharon pensait que Bill Ward pouvait rester chez lui, sans doute que ce dernier était jugé trop 'risqué', erreur, les fans ont fait céder $haron en 2004. Pas moyen de maquiller un autre chanteur en Ozzy ou en Bill ou en Geezer... alors, forcément c'est plus chiant! Même si le rôle actuel de Singer est un peu discutable, dans cette copie conforme de Peter Criss, ce dernier joue le jeu que doivent lui dicter Paul & Gene deux redoutables managers. Bonne chance à ce mec sympathique qu'est Eric Singer, et que nous aimons particulièrement ici!
Kiss and hyperbole go hand in hand. Always have done, always will. Gene Simmons is talking about this album like it’s his second coming – which will doubtless please the insatiable ladies in the, er, Ladies Room.
Paul Stanley has got in the act too, calling Sonic Boom the best record Kiss have made in 30 years – putting it on a par with 1979’s illustrious Dynasty.
Of course, you can trust us at Classic Rock to boldly cut through the bluster and reveal the brutal, honest truth. And our verdict is… we agree.
Sonic Boom is bloody brilliant.
Kiss’s first new studio album in 11 years delivers the goods in spectacular fashion. It’s like waiting for a Tesco van to turn up outside your home and instead a Chieftain tank arrives, packed full of fillet steaks. If you read our preview on the CR website, you’ll doubtless remember the comment: ‘Kiss seem to have combined the best of all their eras into a single winning package.
So you get echoes of Rock And Roll Over – where the Flash Four added a neat commercial sheen to their hard rockin’ sensibilities – in the music as well as the album cover. Hints of the sprawling grandeur of Creatures Of The Night. Tinges of the chest-thumping teaze of Crazy Nights. So it goes on.
Yet Sonic Boom is no determinedly retro package. It’s purely the sound of Kiss playing to their strengths.
Kicking off in scintillating style with Modern Day Delilah, what’s evident immediately is the level of commitment from rhythm guitarist/vocalist Stanley. Sonic Boom probably wouldn’t have happened if the Starchild hadn’t
pulled the strings (leaving Gene dangling underneath the lighting rig)
and on …Delilah Stanley sings his platform soles off. Simmons sounds refreshed too, carving out his personaility on Russian Roulette and I´m An Animal with the sensitivity of a tattooist wielding a rusty steak-knife. Put simply, the Demon is back to his lascivious best.
There’s no Ace or Peter, of course. We never thought we’d write the following, but… we don’t miss ’em. Guitarist Tommy Thayer puts in a remarkable performance – akin to Eddie Van Halen replicating Frehley licks – and Thayer’s showcase song, When Lightning Strikes, isn’t half bad either. Ditto drummer Eric Singer, whose playing is impeccable, and whose singing on the chundering All For The Glory is every bit as good as Criss’s onBlack Diamond.
Standouts? Well, Stand is a 21st century God Gave Rock And Roll To You, no doubt about it; Danger Us is the sort of throwaway classic you thought Kiss had forgotten how to write; and Say Yeah is perhaps the most triumphal album closer of all time.
In a world without heroes, thank God Kiss are alive and licking once again.
9/10
ERIC SINGER: Bands he played with: ESP, Lita Ford, Badlands, Black Sabbath, Paul Stanley, Brian May, Kiss, Glamnation, Alice Cooper, Gilby Clarke, Queen, Gary Moore and many more!!

HEAVEN AND HELL
| HEAVEN & HELL: 'Equipment Tour' Video Posted Online - Sep. 10, 2009 | |
Damian of the unofficial BLACK SABBATH web site Black-Sabbath.com shot some behind-the-scenes footage of HEAVEN & HELL's equipment set-up at the final date of the band's North American tour on August 29 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Watch the clip below. The management for HEAVEN & HELL vocalist Ronnie James Dio released a statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET on August 27 in an attempt to "quash any rumors that [the group] have broken up." The statement read in part, "[ HEAVEN & HELL guitarist] Tony Iommi has to have surgery on his hand and [needs] some down time for recovery. Therefore DIO [the band] will be performing some dates in the U.K. and Europe in November/December during this time off. HEAVEN & HELL are already making plans for dates next year." In a recent interview with The Aquarian Weekly, Iommi stated about his upcoming surgery, "I've got to have an operation on my hand, and that's sort of a major thing I need to get done and I've been putting it off now. So we're going to have some time off while I get that done. That'll be a bit of a break, I think. Not for everybody, but it'll be some time off from touring for me for sure." When asked what happened to his hand, Iommi replied, "The cartilage is gone from the thumb in my fingering hand. It's been like that now, to be honest, for a year and I've been taking anti-inflammatories and all sorts of stuff to try and calm it down, but it's inevitable I've got to have the operation because the bone is rubbing on the bone. Funny enough, I talked to Eddie Van Halen this morning, because he's had the same sort of problem, so I'm seeing him to have a chat about what happened to him. He thinks it's very successful, so we'll see."
