Thanks for the link, that was a great interview with "The Cat". I've always been a huge defender of the Tony Martin era of Sabbath and consider all that era's albums (with the exception of the last one, Forbidden) to be really good albums and more than worthy to be alongside the Ozzy or Dio...

I have to admit I kind of lost track of WASP ever since The Crimson Idol many years back. That album was pretty damn good by the way.

I don't get behind on my listening of new purchases since I listen to them as soon as I buy them. What does happen is that the more CDs I have the less I come back for repeat listens. Last September I decided to listen to my entire record collection - it took me 6 months to finish.

Check out Black Label Society's Hangover Music Vol. VI and even more so Zakk Wylde's solo album Book of Shadows which is southern rock with all the way.

I recently started to listen to my old vinyl LPs after having them in storage for years and one of the first albums I heard was Accept's Metal Heart which has some great songs on it. I've also read rave reviews on their Blood of Nations album as well as the new one.

I'm going for the obvious one, Bark At The Moon. The solo at the end is just the icing on the cake to a great song.

I'd like to admire Axl for declining the induction but he's NOT declining because he thinks (as we all do) that The R&R HoF is a sham but because he just doesn't want to share the stage with his former bandmates.

The first thing I didn't like about the Sabbath reunion announcement was that they were going to tour first and then record a new album. We've already had a Sabbath reunion with the Reunion album and tour back in '98. I want new music from the Sabs first and then a tour. Now we hear of Tony's...

Great interview, thanks for the link. I really can't wait for the new Testament album.

Sounds good. But naming their record "Dump the Chump"? Ouch!

In no particular order Mastodon - The Hunter Mastodon - Live at the Aragon RUSH - Time Machine: Live in Cleveland Witch Mountain - South of Salem Uriah Heep - Into the Wild Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn of Events Deep Purple - With Orchestra Live at Montreaux 2011 Electric Wizard -...

30. You've had arguments with friends over which era of Sabbath was the best, and the Ian Gillan era never rates a mention. Not true! I ALWAYS mention the Gillan era - short though it may be - and always mention the fact that Born Again was my first Sabbath album (on vinyl of course).

Loved it! The song I mean, the video... not so much. The whole "gothic twist on a fairy tale" has been done to death. But anyway, this album goes to the top of my to-buy list.

This is yet another band I've been meaning to get into but just haven't gotten around to. So much good metal -so little time!

So true! I'm in my 40s and consider any band from the 90s onward a "new" band.

"But the results also found that some teens had their moods lifted by listening to heavy metal." The "study" totally contradicts itself!

I have a TON of compilation albums so I have nothing against them. The reissues are meant for new fans (and I was once a new fan myself) so they can discover old bands. Without compilations I never would have discovered Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep and many others.

I'm a huge Sabbath fan and even I don't want a reunion. In fact, I'm tired of hearing that they might get together again. To do what exactly? Put out another lackluster album? Tour while Ozzy reads his lyrics off a telempromter and Bill Ward calls it quits after a couple of shows and be replaced...

Thanks for the link, that was a great interview. I'm a big fan of Tony Martin and it's always good when someone recognises his contributions to Sabbath and the great music he put out with the band. Sadly, Tony never had "that one great album" with Sabbath to make his mark on the band's history...

By this point, nothing surprises me from KISS. As much we like to say "sell-out!" when seeing stuff like this, the truth is that KISS is being very true to their original vision of being a brand instead of a band, so in a way by whoring themselves they are staying true to themselves - get it?
