IAN GILLAN, TONY IOMMI To Release New WHOCARES Album In JunePanARMENIAN.Net - Deep Purple’s Ian Gillan and Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) took everybody by surprise in 2011 by releasing a charity single: “Out Of My Mind”, renewing the collaboration that led the pair recording an album in 1984 “Born Again” under the moniker Black Sabbath. For the occasion, the two rock legends called a few friends, asking for some “help”. None other than Jason Newsted, Jon Lord and Nicko McBrain completed the supergroup, earMusic reported.

The single was a joyful and inspired moment. The spark to bring Iommi and Gillan in a studio, together again was to finance the rebuilding of a music school in Armenia they had visited together on various occasions in past years.

Far from being a spectacular charity project, WhoCares was a nice gesture, done with class, from two musicians with nothing to prove, willing to support music, where music is considered a luxury.

“As I said once in the song Razzle Dazzle (DP album, Bananas)… ...’it’s a real fine line between an orgy of destruction and a wonderful time’…

The destruction of conformity in this case: Some of these pieces never really fitted into their contemporary program and got side-lined or forgotten, and some of the album tracks never had much exposure. As the track-listing for this album came together I noticed many of the titles had character similarities; a combination of freshness as they finally felt the sun on their backs and rebellion in a ‘yeah told you so’ kind of way.

And that adds up to a wonderful time. And that adds up to more money for the music school we are building in Armenia.

And what about WhoCares… this ad hoc benefit band put together by Tony Iommi and myself on a flight home from Yerevan, where we’d been deeply humbled by the honours and expectations bestowed upon us. Well that’s it really, in a nutshell, so to speak, what more can I say; it’s all there in the music.” (Ian Gillan 2012)

WhoCares’ tracklist is being finalized at this very moment.

Among the tracks: the 2 original WhoCares’ songs, Deep Purple’s unreleased studio jam “Dick Pimple”, a song from Repo Depo (a band Ian Gillan formed before the Deep Purple reunion which never released any song official before this CD), 2 unreleased songs from Tony Iommi featuring Glenn Hughes, obscure collaborations, B-sides lost on 7”vinyl, exclusive live versions recorded live on radio.

WhoCares will be released on June 22 on earMUSIC.

Ei Bill Wardia yhdelläkään keikalla:

Statement on Upcoming Black Sabbath Shows

Posted on May.15, 2012 under Black Sabbath

Dear Sabbath Fans and Fellow Musicians,

I sincerely regret to inform you that after a final effort to participate in the upcoming Sabbath shows a failure to agree has continued. At this time I have to inform you that I won’t be playing with Black Sabbath at the Birmingham gig dated May 19th, 2012, nor will I be playing at Download on June 10th, 2012. Further, I will not be playing at Lollapalooza on August 3, 2012.

It is with a very sad heart that I bring you this news. I am sincerely passionate in my desire to play with the band, and I’m very, very sorry that it’s fallen to this. This statement is even more painstaking to write, as I was particularly excited to play alongside Tony Iommi after the recent treatments he underwent. I wanted that to become a reality.

To express my thoughts about you, the Sabbath fans, I’m going to speak to you all through an experience my brother James had recently. My brother Jimmy lives in the U.K. When speaking with him a couple of days ago, he told me that an acquaintance had stopped him on the street and confronted him, “is your brother playing Birmingham? What’s going on? I waited in line with my son and paid x amount for the concert tickets.”

The man’s son is a young drummer. He’s going to see Sabbath, and he wants to see Bill Ward play drums. Upon hearing this news, I felt horrible. I couldn’t help feeling some resentment towards the failure to reach an agreement, the failure to remember where we came from, the failure to be as brothers, as we once were. To be clear, I’m not blaming the other guys or finding any faults with them. I would think it can’t be easy for them either, but this situation is just really sad. It’s sad that it’s come to this. “This” will surely leave a mark and be unwelcome to the memory. Hopefully “this” will heal and pass in time.

My heart sank when Jimmy told me about this young boy. I know this boy is going to be disappointed, and I don’t know how to amend it, other than to put my arms around the boy and tell him I love him. Sabbath fans have a voice and a face, to me you’re human, you have families and despair. You have ferocity and emotions and graciousness, and at this moment as far as I’m concerned you are also that young boy in England. I don’t know how to amend my part in these failings other than to put my arms around you and say I love you and let you know I’m very, very sorry.

Throughout this process, which began over a year ago, I have had to stand up for myself time and time again. I have had to stand up for myself and in doing so realize my actions indirectly, although unintentionally, are upsetting and hurting a lot of you. I know in my heart I couldn’t have done these concerts by agreeing the terms suggested. I made a solemn vow after the last European and Ozzfest concerts that I would never again enter into what was, in my opinion, a totally unsatisfactory contract. I have to stand for something, and as painful as it is, I’m doing it.

Earlier in April 2012, I’d been asked to participate “minimally” in the Download festival. I believe I’d been offered no more than three songs to play while another drummer presumably played the rest of the show with Black Sabbath. I was not willing to participate in that offer. I was not prepared to watch another drummer play a Sabbath set, while I was to play only three songs.

I found out about the Birmingham gig on Monday, April 30 through the Internet ad. I was taken aback somewhat by the date, and the fact it was Birmingham. Knowing the “signable” contract negotiations were at best in shreds, I was upset by the idea that the band was going to play Birmingham and play it assumedly without me. I had no prior knowledge of the date and location, and I felt totally excluded. We contacted the representative for Black Sabbath to see if something could be worked out. In the meantime my drum crew and I, along with our US endorsers, finished all the necessary planning for a swift departure to the UK. There wasn’t a whole lot to complete; we’d all been on standby more or less since mid-January 2012. The remaining work in the UK was confirmed done by our European and UK endorsers and we were good to go by Friday, May 4 2012. There were two stress points: firstly, getting an agreement in place, and secondly, getting to England in a timely manner. Jetlag time was taken into account as well as drum practice, a drum practice room in the heart of Birmingham, accommodation, and travel arrangements were all in place to meet with any band rehearsals that may have transpired before the Birmingham show. So far everything that had been arranged was on my dime, but we didn’t move ahead without a realistic confirmation.

Communications between the representative and my lawyer continued through the weekend of May 5 finalizing on Wednesday, May 9. The offer we received on May 9 was, “come to the UK, play for free and see how the first show goes.” I was tempted. Playing for free would not have been a problem for me, but “seeing how the first show goes” left an element of risk which could have affected Download. My ideal thought was to play in full the Birmingham show, in full Download, and in full Lollapalooza.

I had notified the representative that May 10 was my cutoff day in order to have good lead-in time for England. On the night of May 9 I asked for a brief letter to be sent to the representative asking to find out if we were at an end. On the morning of Thursday, May 10, I received a reply in the affirmative. After consulting with my advisors and crew a decision was made to let go and stop.

I can’t prioritize the Sabbath fans making one show more important than the other. I can’t do that. All of you are important. It’s all the gigs or none at all. I can’t come to Birmingham and “see what happens” knowing there is a risk of not being able to play Download or Lollapalooza. Again, for me, it’s all or nothing. I had to say “no” to Birmingham on the principle of wanting to play all the shows. Saying no to Birmingham is very difficult for me. My family grew up in Birmingham. Black Sabbath grew up in Birmingham. It’s still my hometown and I resent having to arrive at such a difficult choice.

Although the statement was made that, “the door is always open” for me, as explained above, walking through that door is not always as easy as it sounds. There are many complicated issues and unseen and unspoken agendas on hand. I can assure you, my criteria for a “signable” contract is based in mindful principles, respectability, and acknowledgement of my history within the band.

I hold no malice or resentment towards the other band members. I love them; I’m tolerant of them; I’m frustrated with them, as they may be with me. My fight has never been with them. I’ll love them forever. In my opinion, nobody wins this time; the band doesn’t win; the fans for an original lineup don’t win. Nobody wins, nobody. Even the ones who thought they did.

I didn’t want to make this decision, but I have to be honest and transparent. This is the statement I didn’t want to write; it’s the last thing I wanted to do. But, I have written it, and now it can go into the universe.

Since Spring of 2011, I’ve waited patiently and hopefully for a signable contract, you know the rest. I stand for the boy in the U.K., for the coming drum student, for all the drummers, who write their parts out and get stiffed on the publishing, I stand with the Sabbath fans chanting “Bill Ward” and asking “why?” and I stand with Tony and Geezer and Ozzy.

On a final note, even though I’m at an end with the upcoming announced concerts, I will remain with an open mind and a position of willingness to negotiate “signable” terms with Sabbath’s representatives in the future.

Stay strong.
Stay safe.

With all my heart and strength, I love you,
Bill Ward

Lukiessa näitä listoja lakimiehistä, sopimuksista, rumputreeneistä, kamasponsoreista, diileistä, palkkioista, valmistautumisajoista ja jetlageista sellainen fiilis, että tuosta touhusta on jo rokki ihan vitun kaukana.

^ Eiköhän nämä kaikki isommat bändit ole jo vuosia ollut yrityksiä eikä mitään rokkibändejä. Maidenit, Metallicat sunmuut kaikki mukaanlukien, aina kun tarpeeksi isot rahat rupeaa liikkumaan jonkun touhun ympärillä niin ei siinä voi jättää bisnespuolta huomioimatta. Tai kai niitäkin on, ei vaan varmaan jälkipolville jää moiset tähdenlennot mieleen.

Bisnespuoli nyt on bisnespuolta, mutta eniten huvittaa tuo yksinkertaisten asioiden monimutkaistaminen potenssiin x. Taisi olla nimeltään mammuttitauti. Aikuiset ihmiset eivät pysty edes päättämään keskenään, kuka heidän bändissään soittaa.

Voisiko noihin vanhohin kuviin vielä retusoida nuoren Cluefetosin tilalle ja esitellä hänet alkuperäisenä Sabbath rumpalina? Näemmä syntynyt 1979.

Tuossa lisäinformaatiota Geezer Butlerin virallisilta nettisivuilta Geezerin näkökulmasta.

Black Sabbathin facebook-sivulta:
Black Sabbath/Bill Ward Photo Statement

"At the request of Bill Ward, through his attorney, so as to not give the public the wrong impression about his involvement in the current Black Sabbath lineup, we have temporarily removed Bill Ward's images from the main pages of the blacksabbath.com official website. In accordance with Bill Ward's attorney's request, we are doing so for the duration of the forthcoming shows." BLACK SABBATH
Edit:

Rytmi.com:
Black Sabbath palasi lavalle!

Eilen se sitten tapahtui: Black Sabbath nousi lavalle Birminghamissa.

Melkoisen säätämisen jälkeen Sabbath soitti lopulta paljon puhutun comeback-keikkansa ilman rumpali Bill Wardia, joka jättäytyi lopullisesti pois yhtyeen paluukuvioista pari päivää sitten. Ozzy Osbournen, basisti Geezer Butlerin ja syövästä toipuvan kitaristi Tony Iommin kera lavalla soitteli Ozzyn soolokuvioista tuttu Tommy Clufetos.

Ensimmäinen keikka oli Birminghamin pienehköllä O2 Academy -klubilla, joka oli luonnollisesti loppuunmyyty. Settilista kattoi likimain kaikki klassikot ja kriitikot ovat jo ehtineet ylistää yhtyeen paluuta voitokkaaksi.

Biisilita oli kokonaisuudessaan tällainen:

1. Into The Void
2. Under The Sun
3. Snowblind
4. War Pigs
5. Wheels Of Confusion
6. Electric Funeral
7. Black Sabbath
8. The Wizard
9. Behind The Wall Of Sleep
10. N.I.B.
11. Fairies Wear Boots
12. Tomorrow’s Dream
13. Sweet Leaf
14. Symptom Of The Universe (intro)
15. Drum Solo
16. Iron Man
17. Dirty Women
18. Children Of The Grave
Encore:
19. Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (intro)
20. Paranoid

Konsertin jälkeen Geezer Butler ehti jo hehkuttaa keikkaa, fanejaan ja Iommia nettisivuillaan:

“Thank you, thank you, thank you Birmingham. Best fans ever- you brought out the best in us. It was a privilege playing for you tonight. Tony was a hero- you were the best medicine he has had. Proud to be a Brummie.”

^ ei löytyisi "Ozzy-ajan" livematskua myös, Hannu Paloniemen vetämänä?
Siltä ajalta näin muuten viimeisen keikkansa täkäläisessä 45 Specialissa, jota Halmkrona tuumasi illan päälle jutellessa myös koko bändin viimeiseksi ylipäätään. Mutta hyvä juttu oli tämä Dio-Marso aktivoituminenkin ehdottomasti. Nehän soittivat livenä myös (ikävä kyllä) huudeltua Paranoidia, jota eivät onneksi siis koskaan levyttäneet, mutta tänä Freud Marx Engels & Jung -aleksiskivi-lyriikan versiona.

Vieläkin muistan, mikä yllätys '03 keväällä oli tämä etukäteen dumaamani projekti, kun Hautuumaan Lapset soi radiossa :shock: lapset, täällä hautuumaalla voitte luottaa vanhaan setään..

Laitetaan vielä Vol 2:ltakin esimerkki, vaikkei musiikkivideo olekaan ylläolevan tapaan, ja Electric Funeral -siis Sähköhauta! On tuo vain MAHTAVA riffi, jos jokin on doomia (josta en siis yleensä pidä), niin tämä.

isä sulaa säteilyyn... perhe, koti, isänmaa, leikkimökki hiljaa palaa


Olisiko vielä Sabbathin kaikkien aikojen parhaimman biisin paikka bonuksena, aivan yhtälailla (alkuperäisiin verraten) loistavin lyriikoin. Sä tuhlaat elämäsi tehtäviin ja liityt elävinä kuolleisiin.

"Helsingissä vastikään vieraillut Ozzy Osbourne antoi NME-musiikkilehdelle haastattelun, jonka yhteydessä laulaja paljasti hieman odotetun Black Sabbath -pitkäsoiton tilannetta.

Miehen mukaan yhtye on kirjoittanut jo 15 uutta kappaletta, mutta solisti ei vielä osannut sanoa kuinka moni kyseisistä kappaleista päätyy levylle. Ozzyn mukaan fanit voivat odottaa uuden albumin ilmestymistä ensi vuoden aikana. Samaan syssyyn mies paljasti myös, että levy on nimeltään 2013."

IAN GILLAN & TONY IOMMI: WhoCares Album Details Revealed

kyllä se näyttää että vars. albumi, "13", olisi tulossa kesällä:
Legendary heavy metal band BLACK SABBATH has set "13" as the title of its much-anticipated new album. The group's first LP with Ozzy Osbourne since 1978 will be released in June via Vertigo/Universal Republic in the U.S. and Vertigo in all other territories. The drum tracks on the CD were laid down by RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE sticksman Brad Wilk following original drummer Bill Ward's decision to bow out of the reunion.

Osbourne, Tony Iommi (guitar) and Geezer Butler (bass) recorded the album primarily in Los Angeles with producer Rick Rubin.

In advance of the CD's release, BLACK SABBATH will head to New Zealand, Australia and Japan for live performances. Additional tour plans will be revealed in the coming months.

Iommi, Osbourne and Butler discussed their new album in a video interview posted at NME.com. Asked how Rubin influenced the band's approach to writing together again, Butler explained, "He sat us down, put the first album on and said 'listen to this', imagine it's 1969, you've just done that, what would you do next?"

Iommi added, "It's taken on the flavor of the old stuff in the way we put things together, but with a different look on it."

Back in August, Butler said SABBATH had recorded 15 tracks, with 12 making the final cut, including a song entitled "God Is Dead".

Ward in May 2012 announced again that he was declining to join his former bandmates for its scheduled 2012 dates, as well as the recording of a new album, due to a contractual dispute.

He also allegedly had his lawyers direct SABBATH to remove him from photos of the band posted at the official BLACK SABBATH web site "so as to not give the public the wrong impression about his involvement in the current BLACK SABBATH lineup," according to a statement issued by the band's publicist.

Butler issued a lengthy retort at his own web site, writing that Ward "hadn't told any one of us he was having contractual problems, and frankly those things are worked out between our representatives, and never between the four of us, let alone in public."

Until now, Iommi told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that the members of SABBATH stayed friendly even when there were legal or other issues going on. "We've always been talking. We've always been in touch with each other," he said. "There might be a lawsuit in the thing between us, but we still talk to each other like nothing's happened, you know."

Asked if there is any chance of Ward rejoining the band, Iommi said last October, "We'll always have a heart for Bill, but I think it's gone past that now, because it's gone on so long that I don't see that happening at the moment. Maybe at some point we might [play together again]."

Iommi, Osbourne and Butler performed live together for the first time in seven years on May 19, 2012, playing an intimate show at the 3,800-person O2 Academy in SABBATH's hometown of Birmingham, England. The concert, which served as a warm-up for the group's appearance at the following month's Download festival, was laced with emotion and drama: it was the first live appearance for Iommi since being diagnosed with cancer, and it was the first with stand-in drummer Tommy Clufetos, making the split official between Ward and the rest of SABBATH.
ja ei kai tuo RATM-rumpali ole sen kummempi valinta kuin Mike Bordinkaan.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... wUz2E7UYC0
Hevipehmoilu ja euroviisut ne yhteen soppii. Kohua herättävää paluutaan tekevän legendan, Black Sabbath-yhtyeen kitaristin, heviriffien ylipapin Tony Iommin Gor Sujyan and Dorians-yhtyeelle säveltämä kitarapop-balladimainen kappale Lonely Planet on valittu Armenian euroviisuedustajaksi.

Iommin säveltämä ja Vardan Zadoyan sanoittama kappale lähtee edustamaan Armeniaa 14.5. Ruotsin Malmössa järjestettäviin Eurovision laulukilpailuihin. Kaikessa mystisyydessään laulu kertoo surullisen tarinan planeetasta ja sen pelastajasta, mitä se ikinä sitten tarkoittaakaan.

Vaikka ensikuulemalta Lonely Planet vaikuttaa Iommin tekeleeksi euroviisuhengen mukaisesti jokseenkin pliisulta ja hengettömältä, voisi sen silti hyvällä tahdolla kuvitella istuvan Black Sabbathin 80-luvun teosten, Eternal Idol- tai TYR- albumien tunnelmiin. Toivottavasti kesäkuussa ilmestyvällä Black Sabbathin paluualbumilta löytyy sentään reilusti euroviisubiisiä enemmän purevuutta, muuten ei hevikansalta hyvä heilu.

^ Onkohan tuon kirjoittaja ikinä kuunnellut Tyriä tai Eternal Idolia? ei tuo biisi muistuttanut mitään kyseisiltä teoksilta löytvää edes etäisesti. Aikamoinen b-luokan esitys, niinkuin euroviisuissa vissiin vaatimus on.

Sensijaan Sabotage on kyllä kovaa kamaa kaikin puolin. Mielenkiintoisia levytyksiä kyllä nuo Ozzyn aikakauden kunnianhimoisimmat lätyt, löytyy aika laidasta laitaan tavaraa, ei pelkästään sitä junttaa mitä esimerkiksi Heaven & Hell-nimikkeen alla julkaistiin. Kyllä tämä ja Sabbath Bloody Sabbath on mulle Paranoidin ohella ehkä parhaiten iskenyt näistä Osbournen kanssa tehdyistä.
Hmmm.... tää taitaa olla nyt sit mun pualest täss...

^Ei nyt kyllä mikään mestariteos ole tämä kansi todellakaan, kun vertaa vaikkapa BS debyytin kanteen.

METALLILEGENDA BLACK SABBATH SUOMEEN MARRASKUUSSA

Heavy-metal jättiläinen BLACK SABBATH saapuu Suomeen marraskuussa. Rivistömuutosten sekä terveystaistelujen jälkeen bändi on kerännyt rivinsä yhteen ja julkaisee uuden odotetun ”13” –albuminsa kesäkuussa. Uuden albumin myötä Black Sabbath lähtee kiertueelle Ozzy Osbournen (laulu), Tony Iommin (kitara), Geezer Butlerin (basso) voimin. Pitkään odotettu konsertti koetaan viimeinkin Helsingin Hartwall Areenalla keskiviikkona 20. marraskuuta. Konsertin lipunmyynti käynnistyy maanantaina 15. huhtikuuta klo 9.00.

Raskaan rockin kantaisän uuden albumin ja maailmankiertueen piti toteutua jo viime vuonna, mutta se muuttui Ozzy Osbourne & Friends –kiertueeksi kun bändin kitaristi Tony Iommi sairastui syöpään. Uuden levyn valmistumista ja kiertueen toteutumista varjosti myös bändissä koetut rivistömuutokset, kun rumpali Bill Ward jäi sisäisten riitojen vuoksi pois kattauksesta. Miehet päättivät kuitenkin toteuttaa haaveensa uudesta albumista 35-vuotta kestäneen levytystaukonsa jälkeen. Kesäkuussa Black Sabbath julkaisee odotetun yhdeksännen studioalbuminsa ”13”, jonka teossa on ollut mukana Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi ja Geezer Butler, Rage Against The Machinesta tuttu rumpali Brad Wilk sekä huipputuottaja Rick Rubin. Itse kiertueella nähtävän rumpalin nimi vahvistuu myöhemmin.

Black Sabbath on myynyt maailmanlaajuisesti yli 70 miljoonaa levyä ja voittanut lukuisia Grammy-palkintoja. Vuonna 1969 perustetun Black Sabbathin soundilla ja musiikilla on ollut merkittävä vaikutus raskaan rockin ja heavy metallin kehittymisessä, lukuisat tämän päivän artistit pitävätkin yhtyettä metallimusiikin peruspilarina. Bändin vuonna 1970 julkaistua ”Paranoid” –albumia pidetään yhtenä merkittävimmistä ja vaikuttavimmista heavy metal -albumeista kautta aikojen. Bändin tunnettuja hittejä ovat mm. ”Black Sabbath”, ”Paranoid”, ”Iron Man”, ”Children of The Grave” sekä ” Sabbra Cadabra”.

Black Sabbath on viimeksi vieraillut Suomessa vuonna 2005 Hartwall Areenalla Helsingissä.
