The New Year brings some new music to look forward to and 2013 is an unprecedented one. Black Sabbath is putting forth a new album with ‘The Ironman’ Ozzy Osbourne front and center for the first time since 1978’s ‘Never Say Die.’
Bassist Geezer Butler spoke about the upcoming LP with the Southern California radio station KCAL (via Blabbermouth). Butler says the new album is about getting back to the basics of the beginning Sabbath works.
“It’s sort of got the feel of the first three albums – back to the basic rawness,” Butler said.
There is a difference for the members this time around though – the recording process consisted of all members who are completely sober. “It’s been more professional in that way,” Butler said. “We stuck to a schedule every day.”
Black Sabbath’s tentatively titled ‘13’ album is expected in June.
Dr. John Cooper
Born in Latvia, Dr. John Cooper
migrated with his parents to this
country and grew up on his father's
beet farm. Poor, the only enjoyment
the family had was an old radio his
father recieved in a trade for his older
sister. Evenings were spent listening
to Amos 8- Andy, The Lone Ranger and
other old time radio shows which led
to his interest into the broadcast
industry. Alter 17 years as host of
Ohio's KHOG "Swap Shop" John hit the
big time by swaping his pet hamster,
Mason, for a degree from the College
of Musical Knowledge which he used
to land a gig in Central New York. From
there it was no where but up.
He joined PYX 106 after a short stint on Broadway in Michael Jackson's "The WIZ". His meteoric rise to the top as Program Director came as a surprise to all in the industry. When asked his most memorable moment in radio, John replied, "my interview with the guy who lived next door to the guy who was the third cousin of the guy who whittled a pair of drumsticks for Pete Best."
