Not a fucking soul on the planet would say they're doing it for the money, And if they are Fucking take my money

[@aschule5684]

That just sounded like the lamest cop out to me when he said that. So he's more worried about what people might say than making things right for his brother and their legacy? That's just pretty sad😔

[@ACDZ123]

Shannon doing it first the money so that's an oxymoron

[@moonbeamskies3346]

The idea sucks any way you look at it.

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

OZZY would not be able to play more than one or two shows. The man is completely physically shot. His neck was basically rebuilt twice..he is in severe pain. And that is just ONE of his many physical ailments.

[@aschule5684]

Ozzy's guilt finally got to him because their ending without Bill was nothing short of criminal and it was because of HIS WIFE/ THEIR MANAGER and HE KNOWS THAT! I've been saying it since it happened. Little disappointed here that Tony doesn't seem to be too concerned or feeling it but, Bill Ward was 1/4th of the reason Black Sabbath was who they became and not only a band mate but a brother and how they ALL can't be in a place of unrest about how it ended without Bill is beyond me. As a fan since their beginning it's been very disturbing that it went down the way it did. I really hope they can make some attempt however small to make it right before someone isn't around anymore to do so. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz]

Excellent post! 👍Hope you'll consider subscribing if you haven't!!

[@ACDZ123]

No. It's probably because Shannon realises it's her last chance to make coin out of ozzy 😅

[@spaceman5996]

Sharon would be the one to screw the deal even if Tony, Bill and the rest agreed to do it.

[@robdixson196]

All women are kind of the same. They resent old friends because they are rivals of a sort for their mans attention.

[@raymondgarcia2359]

Exactly, she’s horrible and screwed everything up, IMO!

[@mikebowler4499]

Just like last time

[@richardhincemon]

Tony Iommi and Ozzy Osborne are 50/50 co-owners of the Black Sabbath name it's not Sharon Osborne 's decision not matter what people think of her. Geezer Butler is retired from touring and so is Tony Iommi and Bill Wards health problems will also be a problem but people can dream about it all they want to .

[@jimking3288]

​@@richardhincemonyou are being very naive about sharon who is definately her father's daughter !!!

[@vicprovost2561]

Bring it on, as it should be! Rock On, Black Sabbath, 1968 to Eternity. Nothing like the original lineup. Please, make it happen.

[@moonbeamskies3346]

It's a ridiculous idea.

[@michaelpatterson9119]

Bill is dead.what are you talking about?Ozzy will be too if he agrees to do this.tony looks good for his age.

[@MrPercussionPete]

Bill Ward should have been involved in their last album and tour, back in 2017. They used Rage Against The Machine's drummer for the album, and Tommy Clufetos for the tour. That was a bad mistake, thanx to Sharon Osbourne. Now it's too late. Sharon can be very proud of herself for filling her pockets and screwing up the last chance for a BS reunion.

[@aschule5684]

What makes it all even sadder is, Black Sabbath began and ended when there was "No Sharon Osbourne" Ozzy didn't get with her until after the fact. Sharon's dad Don Arden was their manager, yet she got involved after the fact and became the reason Bill was not a part of what he and his brother's created when it ended and their legacy will be forever tarnished now because of her! SHAME ON HER and SHAME ON OZZY TONY AND GEEZER for allowing it to happen!

[@raymondgarcia2359]

She’s absolutely horrible and doesn’t give a crap about Black Sabbath or the fans, greedy!

[@jaycoleman8062]

Sharon seems to be an all around unlikable person, imho.

[@moonbeamskies3346]

Sharon may have saved Bill's life by keeping out of the tour.

[@MrPercussionPete]

@@moonbeamskies3346 Are you serious ? Bill's health was the last thing on her mind. She's all about money. Hiring Brad Wilk for recording the 13 album instead of Bill was an insult to all BS fans. She made a lot of money, now she can spend all her time counting it. Good for her. Whatever makes her happy.

[@davesaenz3732]

I say please do a small tour. Come to Texas I'll be there.

[@moonbeamskies3346]

You want to watch old men die on stage?

[@Vinylfiend60]

I think what Tony is saying is yeah he’s down for it but money and other concerns could possibly make it impossible. Sharon Osbourne might get in the way if she thinks Ozzy should get more money. They should do one last gig for charity and agree to not take a penny. I think money was the main reason Bill didn’t play the final shows. He sued the band over money. Also his health isn’t good and he couldn’t do a complete tour. I hope it happens. I hope they film it and release a blu ray of the entire event.

[@Obi-WanKannabis]

Yes. Bill said his contract was unsignable, surely the split between the members wasnt fair on 13 and those tours

[@stiffrichard2816]

This might have to do with Sharon. Money and control of the Black Sabbath vs. Ozzy brands and all the legalities and such. Can't they just cut her out and do whatever they want at this age?

[@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz]

You may be right about Sharon. I know you're right about cutting out the b.s.! 👍 Appreciate your comment!

[@csphoenix9]

I'd like to see Iommi with Martin, get some musicians together and do an album. I know Geezer has retired but maybe, Bill would be nice but maybe.

[@1000poundsguitar]

Dave the Beast Sptz would do it

[@bobsguitarstudio715]

Yea but Sharon Osborne still does not want to pay Bill Ward anything.

[@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz]

People keep saying that. If it's true, that's probably a hard stop. Appreciate your comment!

[@RandyFricke]

One more for the fans would be cool. They don't need the money. Give all proceeds after expenses to charity. Unfortunately I just don't think Bill is up to it. After how they treated Bill previously if I were him I'd tell 'em all to sod off. (That's "piss off" in Cockney). You literally have to be an athlete to be a rock drummer. Especially someone who is as musical as Bill Ward is/was. One caveat: DO NOT LET SHARON OSBOURNE ANYWHERE NEAR THIS!!!

[@gregjohnson298]

We've seen reunions with Ozzy,Dio and Gillen,it should be Tony Martin next.

[@LEEFORDJAGG]

I could see a one off TV show.. Additionally would like to a Tony Iommi and friends T.V in concert show with Geezer Butler,Neil Murray,Tony Martin,Ian Gillan,Glenn Hughes,Rob Halford,Vinny Appice,Bobby Rodinelli,Kenny Aronoff and Scott Warren.

[@Ultimate_Sin-ry9iw]

For the money, I don't think anyone would say that.

[@goodwoodBD]

The last album was good but it would have been better with anyone other than Rick Rubin producing it.

[@aschule5684]

Rick Ruben ruined that album aside from the absence of Bill's would be contributions. They matured so much as a band musically before they ended with Ozzy and Rick Ruben made them go back to the very beginning before the real magic began why would he do such a thing? Had they not had that clown involved and had Bill been a part of it there might be one more special Black Sabbath album but such was not the case. I don't personally like any of it and the circumstances surrounding it all make it that much more undesirable for me, it's the only Sabbath album with Ozzy I'll never listen to but that's just my feelings.

[@goodwoodBD]

@@aschule5684 ward can’t play anymore,his health is just too bad but 13 sounds way too much like the first album,and like you said,minus the magic. I would have been ok with anybody other than Rubin or Bob Rock.

[@aschule5684]

@@goodwoodBD I can't speak for now but I saw an interview with Bill saying he couldn't tour anymore but I'm certain he could have done that album with them. But whatever it is or isn't the ending of Black Sabbath for me will forever be something wrong I'll never get over.

[@goodwoodBD]

@@aschule5684 I can see that,I would have rather them not recorded that last album.

What you said about Eddie at just past 2:00 earned you a subscription. I totally agree he likes to hear himself talk & I hate when the so called interviewer doesn't know when to shut up & let us hear the artist we came to hear. And Tony, nobody would think or care if your doing it for the money. Just do it.

[@larryoneill7432]

So give the money to charity

[@csphoenix9]

Sharon won't let that happen, if they do it, Sharon will make sure Ozzy gets the most money

[@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz]

Exactly!

[@mickblack3291]

What part of THE END don't people understand?

[@mark_beastpriest5539]

I would say no! He would make it about himself, and his health is not up to par. I'm sick of Ozzy thinking he's Sabbath. He's not. Tony is. To hell with what Sharon thinks. I would much rather see a reunion with Tony Martin.

[@FrostyBob99]

Ozzy wasn't as good a fit as Dio, in my opinion anyway. Sabbath is Iommi/Butler/Ward.

[@PatrickC-oh1wy]

What made Sabbath was Bill Ward's jazzy style under those heavy, massive riffs. Tommy Clufeto's bashing took all the subtlety away from their unique sound. That farewell show was a huge letdown.

[@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz]

Very well said. I think most hardcore Sabbath fans feel the same way.

[@c0uchsl0uch]

Well this is their career so getting paid is logical. It is Black Sabbath so pay 'em, we get to see it so that's fine

[@rishisingh6157]

I do hope that Bill Ward will play drums from Black Sabbath’s 13 album when this happens and definitely make a live album

[@gl3605]

If Ozzy wants to do something Sharon will not get in his way. Especially at this time in his life. Original Sabbath rules.. play a small bar/club in Birmingham then officially call it the The End.. for real this time. The way it should be.

[@GerryIII]

If they’re worried about the “doing it for the money” thing just do it for free. Or donate 100% of the money charity? Record it, audio and video, sell it and feed some hungry people, clothe some kids, cure cancer, whatever.

[@supernautacus]

If they listen to this, it will be BLESSED by someone REALLY wanting to see THIS happen!

[@tameronwheeldon4686]

Hail ssabbath

[@justsomedude5727]

Iommi kinda seems over the reunions and wants to focus on highlighting the rest of Sabbath's career, the Osbornes have been trying to supress half of his musical legacy for years and he's probably kinda sick of it, I mean Ozzy puts this out like right after the Martin boxset? Way to take the spotlight lol.

[@mikekeeler6362]

I would rather have a new album with the group that a show which I will never be able to see so it's just a waste of time at least for me

[@willemsterk5992]

With the technical possibilities these days they could make a last album just staying in their own studio at home. No need for a tour, the Beatles stopped touring but did record, so.......

[@moonbeamskies3346]

Not a good idea. Let it rest for God's sake. Maybe we should get the 1985 Chicago Bears back together to play one last full tackle football game against the reigning Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs? That's how ridiculous this is.

[@josejones7025]

Sharon (if there’s a way ) Will derail the whole idea

[@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz]

I really hope not...

Funny how this is all of a sudden a topic with Ozzy now that Tony's box set is gaining attention and about to be released. What a jerk.

Nobody is mentioning Geezer's retirement. His wife Gloria hates Sharon Osbourne, and he & Ozzy no longer speak to each other.

[@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz]

Most excellent point. 👍

[@supernautacus]

Is that the way to leave things - the first one to go has less than 4 years left. Is it not best to end as mates? Go FULL CIRCLE? That's what the last Black Sabbath TRUE line up work SHOULD be called.

[@holomatrix]

Seeing that I was in the crowd for The End in Birmingham in Genting Arena, as you can imagine, I was sort of hoping they wouldn't, only because, I'd already seen what they did do. However, whilst the drummer WAS awesome (he did a 10 minute drumsolo next to fire FFS), I will admit, it would be incredible to have had Bill jump on stage as well, as at the time, it was a bit like "well where the fuck is he?", it did feel weird without him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/en65fKWJaaxjmdE

[@thefonzkiss]

Ozzy can’t even stand up for an hour let alone do a show.

[@Karl_Burton]

Bill won't do it unless he gets a fair share of the money. Whether that's £50,000 each or £5 each

[@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz]

True. Maybe they should just do it for free! Or charity. Appreciate your comment!

[@Karl_Burton]

@@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz I think it's the principle with Bill, not the money

[@frankorobinson1540]

Its a wonderful idea and we no dam well they dont care about the money its absolutely about goin out with the boyz and revisiting there younger days and actually enjoying life together one more time ,now then theres the sharon roadblock 😮money 💰 😊 its really a shame we might have to pay 4000 for anything around first row.i remember late 79 through the early 90s only paying between 25 and 200 for front row seats 😂😂😂and everyone was actually watching the artists perform not paying big money for tickets and coddling there phones the whole event. Black sabbath 1978 cape code collasium tickets 6.50 each t shirt 8 dollars 😮💵 i was 13 and my stoner uncle took us 🇺🇸 thank god for party hardy uncles that loved rock n roll cause my parents were anti metal its the devils music ❤🎶 yes my parents as much as i loved them were not supportive of my ventures as a teenager 😂😂😂then at 17 in 1981 it was randy and ozzy 😊. From 1966 to early 1990s there was some heavy metal rock n roll being made that still stands the test of time.now we have 500 million guitarists and bands yet only 200 can actually produce music that captures my souls again and in reality its only around 50 bands that can capture that analog rock n roll i really enjoy we definitely are not short on amazing guitarists, it getting the right people together that can lock together as one thats tuff ,that 66 to 95 era really put out some of the most amazing rock n roll in history 💙 lets continue the analog tradition ❤i cant get over sometimes actually how many above over the top guitarists there are with online videos these day ,but getting them together with over the top musicians sometimes is a difficult task 💙 lot of musicians have been locked down for the covid years and are ready to explode the music seen with something awsome i am hopeful 💙 😊

Who cares about the money. NOBODY. True fans WANT THIS. True fans NEED THIS. Haters will hate, screw them. One Show to rule them all. LETS HEAR IT!!!!

[@MrRugbyloosehead]

SORRY! But that ship has sailed, and Tony forgetting about why Bill wasn't invited? Seriously! It was because of money, Sharon and Ozzy taking the lions share and leaving the rest to fight for the scraps! Bill even offered to play the final show in Birmingham but was told his services weren't needed or welcomed! Even so? Ozzy's ongoing health issues are well known and he can't even sing as seen in the Commonwealth games.

[@MarkTurner-vs7uc]

They were a great band, but not great people. Bill should have been on the last tour no matter what. They should have paid him whatever it took. Too late now. Most,if not all, the people who made great music are really bad people. Most are really ,really bad people.

Does anyone else think Ozzy Osbourne is biting off a head of a bat bigger than he can chew?

[@THE_JACKAL666]

Black Sabbath ALWAYS existed without Ozzy, period ! So much so that it was highly successful with Dio, Ian Gillan, Tony Martin, and Glen Hughes ! Now, Black Sabbath CAN'T HAPPEN without Iommi. Iommi can't be replaced whatsoever. Mr. Ozzy was pretty quiet when his crooked wife, Sharon, STOLE the name Black Sabbath from Iommi, in a US court. Now, Iommi cannot use the name Black Sabbath with any other singer other than Ozzy. That is tyranny, greed, clownish, and now Ozzy wanna bagg Iommi for another album ? Well, ask your beloved wife to come up with some "good" riffs ! ... Lol... If Iommi has DIGNITY, he shouldn't accept it. Better do another explosive album with Tony Martin under another name.

[@richardhincemon]

The agreement between Tony Iommi and Ozzy Osborne was settled out of court in 2010 where they are 50/50 co-owners of the Black Sabbath name and it takes 3 original members to participate in the process to be called Black Sabbath for any new material to be released. So technically Tony Iommi,Geezer Butler and Bill Ward could hire any singer they want to be considered Black Sabbath. That's what happened for the 13 album when Ozzy,Tony and Geezer got together to record the 13 album and tour.

[@richardhincemon]

IOMMI is Sabbath no matter what the name is of the band and yes it would be great if he did a show with Tony Martin in Birmingham England instead of Ozzy Osborne 😊
