The Black Sabbath lawsuit.

There's no way the Osbournes can win. There are several precedents against ex band members claiming ownership of their old band's names.

My Thoughts exactly

The party with the fuller pockets wins.

Then Tony should win though his pocket is full because of Sharon's hand being in there.

Sharon is pissed because the last Osbourne show was a flop and she needs another way to support her spending habit.

As of the mid-1990s, after constant and numerous changes in band members, the brand of 'BLACK SABBATH' was literally in the toilet and Tony Iommi (touring under the name BLACK SABBATH) was reduced to performing in clubs.

I do not get that point. I saw Black Sabbath live when they played in the Munich Terminal 1 hall. A few months later or earlier Ozzy (solo) played the same hall.

I would be willing to testify against this point. Of course I may be the rare person who actually really liked (and still like) Forbidden.

I think it's a shame that Sharon and Ozzy had to resort to something low like this. I hope Tony wins this silly lawsuit.

What about Gorgoroth, or even Saxon

Well, I'm sure Sharon will throw enough money and lawyers at this to spin it however she wants.

I honestly don't care about the result, because in the end, the only real losers are the fans.

If i recall well, Tony has a valid CTM registration for Black Sabbath.

I just want sharon to choke on this lawsuit. That hag is lame.

As I read the statements that Ozzy 'said' I found them laughable.... This is a guy who says he can't remember anything and there wasn't an F bomb to be found....

Agreed Sharon is a gold digger and just an all around not nice person....

true. I guess she is trying to force the issue that any BS reunion would be will Ozzy and not Dio. The press on the new H&H must have burned her begonias but good..

I am sure you right exact33, but Iommi could have used the name Black Sabbath but choose not, because he did not want fans to think, since Black Sabbath has been playing shows with Ozzy since 1997, that this was the original version of Sabbath, IMO shows class on Iommi's behalf

I agree. He did it with class - but sharon doesnt have that class and is really just after the money that another tour would bring in to her.

Weren't the sales of The last few Ozzy albums less than that of the next two Dio albums?

If thats the case, then the band would of "declined" with Ozzy as well.

Eveybody knows Tony kept Sabbath going all of these years, if he would have chosen to leave or drop the band to do a solo career or join a different band Sabbath would have ended.
