INTO THE VOID: A thread for discussion of Black Sabbath.

What else needs to be said?
These guys announced an unexpected Adelaide date on their upcoming (and long-announced) Australian tour today. Though I know they're ancient and Bill Ward's not going to be there, I'm still unreasonably excited at the prospect of witnessing Geezer and Tony grind out those classic, brain-smashing riffs at maximum volume in person.
So it’s Brad Wilk of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave who stepped up to fill Ward’s place on the recording of the new album.
It has however, been confirmed that Wilk will not to be joining Black Sabbath on tour. Butler had little to say of the Rage drummer’s involvement with the band, simply replying to questions surrounding his potential presence on the tour with, “I don’t get involved in that side of things.”
Oh, bummer.
I was never particularly thrilled that Wilk was playing drums, but he was better than this bozo from the first run of reunion shows:

The coolest thing about Sabbath is that Iommi lost the tips of his middle and ring fingers working in a factory. Probably has a lot to do with his unique sound, actually. To compensate for his injury Iommi attempted to learn to play right-handed,but eventually returned to left-handed playing and strung his guitars with lighter strings and made thimbles to extend his fingers.
