It was almost a year ago now that the original line-up of Black Sabbath announced they were back and were going to record their first album of new material in over thirty years.
It was on 11-11-11 that the news finally became official, although considering the members of Black Sabbath were getting together to make an announcement, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
When Phil Lynott, the legendary frontman of Thin Lizzy, passed away on January 4, 1986, it was a rock n' roll tragedy similar to when we lost Randy Rhoads in the sense that he never lived to see Lizzy get their due.
