Original Black Sabbath lineup to reform

"The original line-up of Black Sabbath have reformed and have begun rehearsing for a forthcoming tour and possible new album.

While the MetalTalk.net troops converged on Bloodstock Festival, the spies went further afield to find Bill Ward and Geezer Butler lurking around in another part of the Midlands and today, we bring you our best ever exclusive and can tell you first that the original Black Sabbath line-up have reunited.

A decision was made fourteen days ago and this morning (Monday 15th August), Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer ('it will never happen') Butler, and Bill Ward gathered in their secret rehearsal studio and began the process of putting the show back on the road.

Much, much more to follow on this story. For now, the original line-up of Black Sabbath have reformed and will be back in action very soon..."

I'll believe it when all four of them confirm this.

I believe it when they actually have the album out.

I guess Ozzy finally realized he has sucked too much for far too long?

Great news. Ozzy hasn't sucked. He's just old. This should rejuvinate him a bit - and I'm sure the tour will be awesome. (Put into perspective that it's 2011.)

If anyone can get something out of Ozzy, it is Iommi. Scream had some moments that proved Ozzy can still get it done, but with Iommi behind him I think there is serious potential.

Scream was basically MTV alternative shit. Not a promise for potential whatsoever.

It must have been a long time since you had to endure the real MTV shit.
Scream is under-average for sure but when compared to all the crap that plays on TV, it's divine!

Agreed. I am not saying Scream is a high quality album, but I enjoyed it for what it was, and there is far worse out there.
