Black Sabbath w/ Ozzy VS Black Sabbath w/ Ronnie

[True Belief]

C'mon Skully...... surely this Popoff book would pique your interest?? .

 

His Collectors Guide of Heavy Metal of each decade (70s, 80s, 90s) are mandatory reading. The 2000s edition features 2,000 reviews alone. I take my hat off to him.

Plus he's the only person I know who can write a 300 word review, all in one continuous sentence - that still makes sense. Lol.

I've nearly bought this book a few times now. Skull would love it!

I own the 'Black Sabbath FAQ' and the Ozzy Osbourne day-by-day book by Popoff and they're great. The Sabbath book has heaps of info that I haven't read elsewhere.

Yeah I guess I have to, I've never come across the mag you mentioned! It must be due to the fact that the other "major" journos skipped him... or maybe to the fact the mag you talk about probably came out later on.

And yes, I was also close to buying that...

Here in Italy they have translated his bios of the Scorps and Whitesnake. I dunno... I had this bad feeling about him.

Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles launched in 1994 when you were 5, I believe? It published until 2009 and you can buy back issues here: http://bravewords.storenvy.com/. It now runs as a website: http://bravewords.com/home

Anyway, we are well off topic at the moment. Black Sabbath with both Ozzy and Dio is great, but for me Ozzy takes the prize!

I was 6! But I mostly buy records that date waaaay BEFORE 1994 and when I buy reissues with booklets filled with history, trivia and reprints of old articles, they always feature stuff like Kerrang, Sounds, Metal Forces, Rolling Stone, Creem, Hit Parader, Circus, Enfer, Rock Hard and the occasional local zine from back in the day. 

Besides, records that came out from 1994 onwards are very unlikely to be reissued of at least it is much more likely for me to have the original press, which obviously does not feature articles.

So... I still cannot consider Popoff relevant, I'm sorry. And what about the pics in his books? I believe he is constantly infringing copyright, I seriously doubt he pays royalties, let alone own rights to any.  ?

To me Popoff is like a russian bootleg greatest hits.  

Oh and DIO RULES!

Ozzy does too. Black Sabbath is the shit.
