Crazy week for the Black Sabbath reunion -- fighting with their original drummer. Then on Saturday, bassist Geezer Butler announced that Ozzy Osbourne's drummer, Tommy Clufetos, would be taking over for Bill Ward, who says he wouldn't join the reunion and that he was asked to play Saturday's show in Birmingham for free.
Butler posted a long note on his website that said Sabbath don't expect to make much money on their appearance at next month's Download Festival because it "costs an absolute fortune to stage" and that "it was a one-off Sabbath show for the fans, before we go into recording the new album. Apparently, this wasn't acceptable to Bill's representatives -- they wanted an amount that was so unrealistic that it seemed to have been a joke."
Here's a clip from their charity show in England last weekend...what do you think? (Here's hoping they decide to tour)
