Great band. That’s a huge gig they’ve landed. Waiting for September 7th to get here is going to drive me crazier than I already am! As a life-long Black Sabbath disciple, that concert is going to be special.
yep very good band. Big step up from the last Sabbath tour when Andrew W.K. opened up, that sucked canal water.
