Veteran British rock band Black Sabbath said on Friday they are reuniting in their original four man line-up for a new album and a world tour.

The band, which recorded its last studio album of all original material in 1978, told a Los Angeles news conference they would perform at the Download Festival in England in June 2012, and then embark on a world tour.

Guitarist Tommy Iommi, singer Ozzy Osbourne, bass player Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward first got together in 1969. After a revolving line-up for a number of years they got back together for the 1998 album "Reunion" but split again afterward.

Rumors of a possible reunion of the English metal band, which has sold over 70 million albums, have been swirling for months.


One of my favorite concerts of all time was the Black and Blue tour. Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult together. Is 51 to old to go to a metal concert?

To see the original Sabbath live?
Absolutly not, even if you were 100 you would not be too old.

I remember when the "Paranoid" album came out. I promptly wore the grooves off a 33 RPM vinyl copy.

I also remember when the "Master of Reality" album came out. It came with a poster. My mother saw it and asked, "What's this?"

"That's a Black Sabbath poster," I replied.

She promptly became highly disgruntled. "What kind of name for a group is 'Black Sabbath'? Look at them! They look evil! What kind of music are you listening to?"

"Uh, the kind that makes Dad yell down the basement steps, 'Turn that sh*t down!' actually."

"You're not on drugs are you?"

"No Mom. Not as far as you know."

Ah, my teenage years! Seven blessèd years of driving everyone in the family into therapy! Those were the days!

Cheers!

Rick... hahaha
