chicagocoma13 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 It's been no secret that Dio has been recording a couple of new songs with Toni Iommi for the upcoming box set---Black Sabbath, the Dio years. Here is some better news---- They will tour next year !!!! For legal reasons they can't tour under the name Black Sabbath so Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward will play a number of festivals under the band name Heaven and Hell. This is gonna be killer !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Could be cool, but can't compare to the Ozzy-era, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Could be cool, but can't compare to the Ozzy-era, imo.Doesn't have to. Heaven And Hell and Mob Rules kick ass regardless of the Ozzy Era.Besides, Ozzy-era had some crap music... Technical Ecstasy anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binge_And_Slash Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 hope they play holy diverErm, I wouldn't bank on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Those legal reasons are that back in 97 when Sabbath did their first reunion tour on Ozzfest, the only way Ozzy would agree to do it was if he got some control over the Sabbath name. Tony Iommi , who owned the name wasn't in much position to negotiate since Sabbath wasn't really doing so well without Ozzy at that time. Now he won't let them use the name Black Sabbath for anything he isn't involved in. That's the story i hear anyways.I know Ozzy hates Dio, so i wonder if he'll remain on good terms with the other guys from Sabbath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an early 90's Sabbath album, which was the short-lived return of Dio to Sabbath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Personally, I would've picked the name Mob Rules for the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
