DR DOOM Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Well since it's so lolworthy I'll clarify Post 70's Sabbath/Iommi has been basically a one trick pony, very linear in terms of what you're going to get. 70's Sabbath was never like that. Ozzy has had his moments along the way, some of the 80's stuff branched out a bit and most notably Ozzmosis was something different. Geezer's solo stuff is very much modern metal, growly vocals and the whole bit. Radically different from what you might expect, but still pretty one dimensional. Bill's music isn't formulaic, it's not about SATAN and it isn't all about slow, plodding heavy riffs and dooms, tombs and glooms. When I said "musically creative" obviously I wasn't referring to volume of output (Cardi: Bill has put out 3 solo albums, last one finally came out last year) but what he does release is honest as shit and real art, not some product made for naughty teenagers rebelling against their parents. Bill's music carries the trippy, spun out element of Sabbath in the 70's that none of the others bother with anymore. So yeah, Bill's the most musically creative of them these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 I will say, while the agin shortened set list is a bit disappointing, from the videos I've been watching of the last few shows Ozzy sounds pretty good so I'm happy about that. I like the song but I can live without God Is Dead?, though it would nice if Under The Sun or Tomorrow's Dream were added back. Either way, totally stoked for this weekend!

DieselDaisy Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 From the bits and bobs I've heard from 13, admittedly few in number, as well as those two new studio songs they put on the live album, I summarised at the time that they sound nothing like Sabbath in the '70s. Sabbath were more weird and stoner, like a heavier Cream; the only reason they are called a 'metal band' is because subsequent metal bands cited them as an influence. The new songs sounded like modern metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Finally got my ticket for Hamilton. Seems like production holds went up, I got a 2nd row lower bowl ticket in the section right next to the stage on Tony's side. Not bad at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerage5 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Had a good time at the Hamilton show, even if Ozzy was still under the weather. Was great to spend the weekend with @Black Sabbath too I'll give some more thoughts tomorrow, right now I need to crash because I need to be to the airport in 7 hours...

Powerage5 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 So last night was a lot of fun. I ended up having a great seat considering I didn't get it until the production holds went up on Wednesday - I was the second row of the lower bowl, right next to the stage, in line with the second row on the floor. The band was excellent. Ozzy was really good for the first half, but really struggled the second half. N.I.B. was particularly rough. But all in all, really glad I went Here's one of my pics from Instagram: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is so much Bill Ward that apparently Iommi and Butler hate him judging by their expressions - and Ozzy is trying to strangle him! Ward has been youthed.

Powerage5 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I listened to The End CD on my flight down to FL today. I actually really dug it, I liked every new song better than anything on 13. Cry All Night was my favorite, closely followed by Season Of The Dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 No surprises in the set tonight unfortunately, but maybe for the second MSG show on Saturday? Ozzy sounds significantly better though! Hope he sounds this good on Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Great show at MSG last night. No set surprises unfortunately but Ozzy sound really good for the most part. He was noticeably a little shakey on Snowblind but I think he always is. Everything else was great though. And the seat I had was really great - especially for free!

Strange Broue Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) here's After Forever from the first MSG night (multicam) Ozzy sounded legitimately awesome I'm so pumped for my show date! Great pics, BS! You should make that neck grabbing picture as your avatar To bacardi and other cocky posers: if you not see them at this tour, then you're not a fan period Feel free to hate 13 all you want, i couldn't care less about your snobbish opinion Edited March 3, 2016 by Strange Broue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The show in Vancouver last night was pretty good - Ozzy even sounded decent! Tony and Geezer were incredible, of course. I'm just a casual Sabbath fan but even I noticed the songs lacked Bill. It didn't bother me really but it was just, noticeable. Highlights were probably War Pigs, Children of the Grave and Hand of Doom. Also, I was kinda pissed that they'd run out of 'regular' The End CD's, but had a shitload of 'signed copies' that were $100 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Quote Instead of making a new record, the band is selling a limited-edition tour-only CD, titled The End, on the road. It contains four outtakes from the 13 sessions, which range in tone from the trudging, tumultuous "Season of the Dead" to the murky, bluesy "Isolated Man", as well as four live recordings. After the End tour, they'll decide whether Black Sabbath will ever hit the studio again. "Time ain't on our side," says Osbourne, 67. "To be honest with you, if the new record wasn't another Number One, we would have been pissed off, so we just left it on a high note with 13. I'm not saying I'll never record with Tony or Geezer again. I just don't want to tour with Black Sabbath after this." http://rollingstoneaus.com/music/post/black-sabbaths-last-ride/3334-page-2#sthash.7FMXYjhu.dpuf In true rock n' roll fashion, before the farewell tour is even over, the band is walking back just how "farewell" this tour will be.

The way the band is treating Ward right now is downright shameful and makes Axl look like he was downright gentlemanly toward the original band back in the day. Just fucking pathetic, and it's why I never even thought about going to see this tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
