It Official!
น่าสนใจที่ว่า Rick Rubin จะขุนให้งานของ Black Sabbath จะะออกมาในรูปแบบไหน น่าติดตามมาก ๆ ครับ
The original lineup of the legendary heavy metal band Black Sabbath - Ozzy Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar),
Geezer Butler (bass) and Bill Ward (drums) - has reunited and will release a brand new album in 2012.
The group's first studio effort in 33 years will be produced by Rick Rubin, who has previously worked with Metallica,
Slipknot, Slayer and System Of A Down, among many others. A world tour will follow, including an appearance
at the U.K.'s Download festival on June 10, 2012.
Iommi told U.K.'s Terrorizer magazine that the four original members of Black Sabbath recently got together
in a rehearsal room for the first time in years, adding, "[We] played some of the old stuff and to be together
again was great. We're all on good terms and we're at a stage where we can play together again.
It would be good if we could and I suppose it's the closest it's been to be able to do that."
Osbourne told Billboard.com last month that a reunion of the original Black Sabbath lineup was
a "very, very strong possibility." He added, "It's in the very early stages, so we haven't recorded anything yet.
If it works out, it'll work out. If it doesn't, I'll keep doing my thing."
The Birmingham Mail reported in August that the original Sabbath lineup had begun rehearsing and
writing music in secret for a new album. The Mail based its story around remarks made by Iommi,
who later said the comments were off the record and taken out of context. Iommi's manager, however,
did not deny that a reunion was underway.
Speculation about a reunion was fueled later that month when Ozzy skipped the Hollywood premiere
of the documentary about his life, "God Bless Ozzy Osbourne". Both his son Jack and daughter Kelly
hinted at the time that their dad was "doing something that is very, very exciting."
Sabbath did try to record a new album 12 years ago, the original lineup's first since 1978,
but abandoned the attempt after just a couple of songs. The original lineup has not toured together
since summer 2005 and last appeared together when they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2006.
Osbourne and Iommi last year amicably resolved their problems over the ownership of the Black Sabbath
name and court proceedings in New York were discontinued.
Ozzy filed a lawsuit against Iommi in May 2009, claiming that Iommi illegally took sole ownership of the band's name
in a filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Osbourne sued Iommi for a 50 percent interest in the "Black Sabbath" trademark, along with a portion of Iommi's profits
from use of the name.
The Manhattan federal court suit also charged that Osbourne's "signature lead vocals" are largely
responsible for the band's "extraordinary success," noting that its popularity plummeted during his absence
from 1980 through 1996.
Lawyer Andrew DeVore argued that Osbourne signed away all his rights to the Black Sabbath trademark
after he quit the band in 1979.
Osbourne's lawyer, Howard Shire, called that agreement a "red herring" that was "repudiated" when
the singer rejoined in 1997 and took over "quality control" of the band's merchandise, tours and recordings.
