That new Sabbath song is pretty good.

Setlist for the tour is great though so I'm really excited.
Saw them last summer in Detroit, the set list is amazing, although I wish they would drop Fear Of The Dark. If you want to meet up for drinks before or after the show that would be cool.

I believe Ozzy is back on the bottle pretty heavy again.

Also does anyone else hear the resemblance to "phantom of the Opera"?

I'm going to have to listen again. I didn't hear that.
I assume you're talking about the Maiden song and not the piece from the musical? (which is an amazing piece of music as well)

I am referrring to the riff from the musical (a riff, BTW, that Andrew Lloyd Webber ripped of from Pink Floyd http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S3fpgrZ9ys ) . In God is Dead? I hear it in the chorus, it isn't exact but there is a resemblance.

I guess there's a very slight resemblance there, but honestly, I think Iommi has used that riff or close to it before, but I can't place it. What you are referring to reminds me of something from The Devil You Know I think. I just can't think of the song.
I never made the Echoes/Webber connection before, and I love Echoes.

Anybody like Pain of Salvation? I know they aren't METAL per se, but they started out as kind of a prog metal band that evolved into something else. I'm going to Chicago to see them in 2 weeks and I'm mucho excited. They haven't played the States in YEARS!

I have a couple of there c.d.'s i like there Disc "One Hour by the concrete lake "
Grabbed this bit from a amazon review about the concept behind this Disc.
The radioactivity in Lake Karachay in the former USSR. Most of us might have heard of Chernobyl, for example, because it was very apparent. But learning that a lake covered in concrete had such a high level of radioactivity that it could still kill someone after only an hour standing near it .

49 years young. Liver failure.
Hanneman wrote some of Slayer's best stuff including South of Heaven, Raining Blood and my personal favorite Seasons in the Abyss.
May he jam forever with Cliff, Dime and Dio.
Re: The Official Heavy Metal Thread
He died the most Metal way you can die though, a flesh eating disease followed up by liver failure.

James and Kirk from Metallica did a great version of the National Anthem before last night's Giants game:
