Sweet Leaf

Why Hello there, as this is my first post I thought what better a way to start than by celebrating one of my all time favourite bands.. I've grown up drooling over my dad's vinyl collection of about 500 12"records and thankfully the Black Sabbath records were in there and here began my obsession with the Prince of Darkness himself Ozzy Osbourne, his love for leather & that world famous foul mouth... Fast Forward 12 years to 2012 and the incredible Download festival announce Black Sabbath are headlining on the Sunday and I could not of been more excited at the prospect of finally being able to see them. However, it was not meant to be as my bank account had other plans and regretabbly I could not go. So when in January 2013, the band confirmed they will be releasing their new album "13" this summer, I could not of been more ecstatic. But wait, it gets better... Shortly after announcing a new album release Sabbath announced they would be doing a European tour at the end of the year and tickets would be released to the general public on Friday 12th April. As you can imagine I was jumping with joy when I heard and immediately I, once again, became that crazed fangirl I was when I was 8. However to my utter dismay, it turned out there was to be only one gig in the South East (the whole South region as a matterof fact) which was to be at The o2 London, situated in the Greenwich Peninsula. Luckily, this is only a 20 minute drive from were I live so I was very happy to hear where it would be, but if any of you have been to The o2 Arena you will probably agree with me when I say it is massive and not always the best venue to see your beloved bands at. I'm not one for sitting when I'm at gig so I was adamant I would try to buy standing tickets and waking up half an hour before general public release (9AM) was definitely worth it as my metal loving boyfriend and I are very happy to say we WILL be at The o2 on Tuesday 10th December and I will probably cry.. Tears of sweet joy ofcourse.

Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, Geezer Butler & Ozzy Osbourne
