Tony Iommi comments on reunion rumors
According to the official Black Sabbath Facebook page (Ozzy knows how to use a computer? bands from the 60’s have Facebook?), the legendary guitarist, Tony Iommi, has commented on the rumors that have spread around the internet today in regards to a Birmingham newspaper claiming the band had reformed (click for more).
Tony has said the following:
“I’m saddened that a Birmingham journalist whom I trusted has chosen this point in time to take a conversation we had back in June and make it sound like we spoke yesterday about a Sabbath reunion.
Thanks to the internet it’s now gone round the world as some sort of “official” statement on my part, absolute nonsense. I hope he’s enjoyed his moment of glory, he won’t have another”
Wait… So the band are or aren’t reuniting?
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath – a reunion in the works?
Could this be the comeback of the decade? Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and the walking dead (Ozzy duh) have reportedly reunited Black Sabbath, with a new album to follow next year.
*fap* *fap* *fap*
Ok, so Ozzy has the vocal range of Steven Hawking, and as many brain cells left as I have pubes, but you just know that musically this should be fairly awesome. Well it’s got to be better than Black Veil Brides and the rest of the shit that’s currently clogging up Metal magazines’ space.
One thing I will put out there… Take this with a grain of salt. Allegedly Tony Iommi has confirmed to Birmingham Mail that the band have reunited, but Metal Hammer are claiming that nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
Get even more news over at Blabbermouth. I’d say this news is probably worth straying away from your porn for.

Friday Top 26: Heavy Metal Alphabet
We’ve done so many Top 10’s already, but this time we’ve decided to top it all with a Top 26. 26? There was something with 26, right? You got it! The Latin alphabet, that is used in most countries on this planet, has 26 letters.
So what are we going to do with these 26 letters? Well, every band has a bandname, and every bandname consists of letters. Can you follow me so far? We’re going to list the best band for each letter of the Latin alphabet (including their best song and album).
Ain’t that cool, now? It sure is. Make the jump for 26 letters and 26 ear-shattering Metal bands!
‘Home of Metal’ 40 years of Heavy Metal
‘I Am Birmingham’ has uploaded a video of the ‘Home of Metal’ the exhibit that’s currently taking place in Birmingham (England) in celebration of the Heavy Metal roots that were born in the Black Country region.
Watch the video above for some cheesy music that doesn’t really resemble Heavy Metal at all and some equally cheesy visual effects.
Tony Iommi has been involved in the project and recently admitted that he actually regards Black Sabbath as ‘heavy Rock’ but is proud to be regarded as a creator of Metal. The exhibition runs until September 25 at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery in Birmingham, England.
