Black Sabbath

The albums Black Sabbath recorded during their first go-round with Ozzy Osbourne will be collected in a new box set. Rhino will release 'Black Sabbath: The Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978' on April 15.

Co-founding Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward paid tribute to his contemporary in Led Zeppelin on his 'Rock 50' radio show (embedded above), saying, "If you want to strive toward something, just listen to John Bonham."

Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin each won an award at the Grammys' annual Pre-Telecast Ceremony this evening. Which is something that probably should have happened in 1974, but whatever we'll take it.

Ozzy Osbourne's solo sound owes a lot to the music he made with Black Sabbath, but he found it difficult to get back in the band mindset when he rejoined Sabbath for the new '13' album.

"Never say never." That's what Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler is saying about the prospect of more new music after '13' is released next Tuesday (June 11). Singer Ozzy Osbourne also says he'd like to cut more songs, but no one is making any promises.

A Chilean radio station is streaming a new song by Black Sabbath. Futuro 88.9 FM premiered 'End of the Beginning' yesterday. You can hear the song -- all eight-plus minutes of it -- here.

CBS has released a special behind-the-scenes video of the season finale of their hit show, 'CSI,' which features a special appearance by Black Sabbath. The video is embedded above.

If you're a fan of both Black Sabbath and 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,' you're about to be given both an eyegasm and eargasm all at once! The legendary heavy metal band will be appearing on the season finale performing a new song "End of the Beginning,' but here's a behind-the-scenes clip that you can check out right now.

Last year, original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward took his exit from the band's reunion plans. Ward had cited an "unsatisfactory contract" as the reason for his departure, but in a new interview, Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne says Ward was unable to meet the physical and mental demands that come with performing a full set behind the kit.

It was a contractual dispute that supposedly kept Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward from joining his mates for their upcoming tour and album, but Ozzy Osbourne says there is another side to the story. The singer questions if Ward was physically up for touring and recording.
