Re: Black Sabbath

Sabbath were my favourite rock group but I don't listen to much heavy music these days. I got into them shortly before Ozzy left and only saw them with Dio. Had tickets for the Blizzard of Oz tour but the Newcastle leg got cancelled and Randy Rhodes plane crash happened before it could be reschedule...
