Maybe they will release standalone remastered CDs at regular price also - Leppard and Motörhead did that for their box sets. New master and packaging but no extras.

Re: Tony Martin Sabbath FINALLY happening - proof
Tony said in an interview that Eddie Van Halen came in to write a song that ended up being Evil Eye from Cross Purposes. Tony says he has the recordings from the session. https://www.vhnd.com/2022/07/22/tony-martin-on-eddies-93-recorded-writing-sessions-rehearsals-with-black-sabbath-ive-got-all-of-...

I understand that Ken lives a short distance from Glenn in the midlands in England, it’s pretty sad how things have turned out and they don’t see each other or even speak.

Re: Wow, Priest played Wembley Arena yesterday
There's a Wembley Stadium too right? Where the concert for life was held? Yes. And that’s probably why Kiss always played Wembley Arena in the 80s. It sounded cooler to have played Wembley where Live Aid was and Queen and Pink Floyd played on their tours than Hammersmith with the likes of UFO, Saxo...

You're probably right. It's not only teens on there, all retired oldies seem to love tiktok and they can vote.
But it's still the right thing to do with a Chinese government owned (ok, partly) spying app with a propaganda official on the company's board.

They had to pay a symphony big bucks to do an album with Metallica. Why would they do an album with a C band? C bands on here typically have a couple of gold albums in the US. This is a D band.

When I saw a band on stage that I remember as full of energy 30 year olds in the 80s and now they were approaching 70, visibly aging and barely moving.
Not sure which was first so pick one from say Kiss, Judas Priest or Deep Purple

If it wasn't for the fact that Paris is Burning was clearly being played from Xciter as far back as 1977, I might think there was some truth to this, but given this and Greg's weird accusations about Nikki Sixx not playing bass on Crue records, I can only conclude that Greg is beyond all concept of...

Dio, Accept and Saxon. Skipped Priest and Maiden who played the same kind of shitholes because they had new vocalists and crappy new albums (Demolition and Death Row) out.

Queensryche.
Pretty Maids and Mercyful Fate also debuted with EPs that were good. Not as good as their first albums but neither was Queensryche or Ratt's.
