Anyone see the commercial yet?
Everytime it comes on I think its my cell ringtone
,I keep reaching for my phone then I feel like a fool Sharon must need money again if she has him in a vid game now

Yeah I saw it. I wonder if he actually plays though. Yeah it's probably just Sharon wanting more $$$

She is evil! She took away Black Sabbath's name and made it Heaven and Hell.
She remastered the original tracks on every Randy CD and made it with Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge. Not The original players, Bob Daisley, and Lee Kerslake. She is a mean person, doesn't give a ratt's ass except for herself. I thought she was awesome but all she cares about is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!

Man wtf is your problem? I just answered a question. I mean how could you screw Sabbath over like that after all they did for Ozzy's image and career!

I know wonder wtf Alex's problem is.

... back to topic. Ozzy never dissapoints, he appears in fields of pop culture where other ˝metal prophets˝ don't dare. I guess his (or managers) fame and money needs are huge. Imagine Rob Halford in a big-brother show...

I wasn't trying to bash Sharon sorry if it seems that way.But have you seen Ozzy over that past year the guy can hardly stand up anymore.The poor guy looks like a marionette on stage makes you think someone is standing in the rigging moving him around on stage .It Looks to me like he would like to stop but Hey as The Ozz man himself would say "I Don't Know"

If I have offended anyone I do apologize.

Tony owns the Black Sabbath name, and it was his decision to change the name to Heaven and Hell. Believe it or not, not everything happens because of Sharon Osbourne. While she is responsible for redoing the BOO and DOAM albums does that make her evil? The KKK is evil. Hitler is evil. Sharon Osbourne? Not really the same.
Sure, she can be terribly unpleasant, but she is responsible for good things, like keeping Ozzy alive all these years.

Back on topic: I personally like the Samsung commercial much better.

And the last time I saw Ozzy, he was probably more animated than ever. I don't really think his stage movements have changed much since the 80s. They've always been a bit bumbly and awkward.

I'm not 100% sure on that as far as him owning the name (since Geezer came up with using the name from the old movie) but I do know there were several reasons why they used "Heaven And Hell'. One was with Sabbath's Hall of Fame thing (which included Ozzy & Bill) they didn't want to confuse anybody with the "other Black Sabbath" coments.

Another thing was with the name change they cut out any interference from Sharon as all their Dio-era material written and performed have no links to Sharon or Ozzy so there could be no lawsuits/bickering about money owed for songs, names, trademarks, etc from the Ozzy days. Smart move.

In the end I could care less as I know they are the second successful era of a legendary band and it's just Sabbath Mach II to me. Heaven & Hell works for me.

Here's a little article adressing it from 2007.

Rockin' Reunions: Sabbath name dispute stretches from Heaven to Hell

How do you promote a Black Sabbath tour when you're only allowed to mention the legendary Black Sabbath name in the fine print?

Don't ask Ronnie James Dio, the singer for the current Sabbath tour. He's a bit foggy about the politics of the name game.

When the latest incarnation of the pioneering heavy metal band touches down in Calgary next Wednesday, it does so under the banner Heaven & Hell, which is actually the title of Sabbath's 10th album, released in 1980. That was the first Sabbath record in which Dio appeared as the lead singer, in place of the band's original vocalist, one Ozzy Osbourne.

So why is the recently reunited Dio-led lineup touring now under the Heaven & Hell moniker?

Many fans have speculated that Ozzy's wife, manager and reputed control freak, Sharon Osbourne, is to blame. Ozzy's version of Black Sabbath has headlined his summer Ozzfest tours since 1997, and because of that the Osbournes may be laying claim to the name.

"As far as Sharon being the perpetrator of that, I would certainly not like to think so," says Dio. "I don't like to think that my life is predicated on somebody else's whims who has nothing to do with me."

Who, then, might control the Sabbath name?

"I have no idea," says the five-foot-four singer with the colossal voice. "That seems to have been a point of contention for a long time. Who owns the name? Is it Sharon? Is it Ozzy?"

"Is it Tony Iommi (guitarist for both Black Sabbath and Heaven & Hell)? I would think if Tony owned the name we would be calling ourselves Black Sabbath, so maybe he doesn't."

Given the recent Ozzfest tours, and the fact Sabbath with Ozzy was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, Iommi and the band's bassist, Geezer Butler, felt like they wanted to make the new tour distinct from the other incarnation of Sabbath. "They wanted to carry on with something fresh and new," Dio says. "When they proposed (the band name Heaven & Hell), my initial reaction was, and still is, 'Well, they're gonna call us f.....' Black Sabbath anyway, aren't they? You can call us the Boys in The Shed if you want to. It doesn't matter to me.' "

I thought Tony Iommi has always had control of the Sabbath name since the day Ozzy got the boot and the recording contract at the time was satisfied. I could be wrong but I thought I heard that in a Westwood 1 radio interview.

I also heard it was out of respect for the original line up of Black Sabbath being inducted around the same time as the Dio/Sabbath reunion getting started that Tony decided it would be better to change the name to Heaven & Hell.

Hmm, I heard in another thread Jeep was giving hugs with a little manlove

no worries there pinky, Scratch me behind my ears and this dog will give you all the love you want

yup

I'm kinda liking the Samsung commercial better.

would you two get a room already.......geez

The Samsung one is great.

Alex owned you. I dont think Ozzy had much of an image after he left BS. Wasnt he living in a hotel getting drunk and doing coke (among other things probably)? Sharon may like money, but shes a good business woman regardless of what you or anyone thinks about her. As for the WoW, there are using famous people for there commercials (my fav is the Mr. T one). Quit pissing and moaning about Sharon did this and did that and move on and like Alex said 'grow up'

/Alex, you're the man
