Hello Dave_72 and thanks for the info. I know that differences between studio versions and touring versions of bands exist all the time. The new "13" features the drummer from Rage against the Machine. Really would be cool if the 4 founding Godfathers of Metal could put aside whatever differences they still have as it's been over 30 years. One would think all the bullshit and drama could be over by now, huh? Bill Ward is the one holding the grudge still, I think? Still going to be an awesome tour to experience! Shoreline Amphitheater is a killer place to see big rock shows, great acoustics IMHO. I've seen RUSH, AEROSMITH, IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, OZZFEST, and countless other rock/metal acts there. In less than 2 weeks (June 30th) I'm seeing Mayhem Festival there with ROB ZOMBIE as Headliner. 'Sabbath makes it's mark in August.
Cool thread, and nice to see that other rockers and metal heads can come forth and celebrate the "heavier" stuff. We're all Audiophiles even if it's not just Classical or Jazz, or Chamber music, or Opera that gets us off. I love all the styles of music that I just mentioned. Used to work in Jazz format radio for almost 10 years. But the "heavy" stuff has always been one of my favorite kinds of music...much to the dismay of all the guys in my Audiophile society. They tell me I'm the hardest rocking Audiophile they've ever known! Ha Ha Ha! Rock on fellow headbangers...Rock on!
