RONNIE JAMES DIO To Reunite With TONI IOMMI, GEEZER BUTLER And BILL WARD Under The Banner HEAVEN & HELL  
Posted on Wednesday, September 27, 2006 at 12:27:57  
Even though their respective managements have not officially released any information, Rafabasa webzine in Madrid, Spain is reporting exclusively that starting in June, 2007 there will be a reunion tour of a group going by the name HEAVEN & HELL.  
At this time, there are no dates confirmed, but the tour booking agent is offering the band to the promoters of the most important heavy metal festivals taking place next year.  
Under the name Heaven & Hell you will find TONI IOMMI, RONNIE JAMES DIO, GEEZER BUTLER and BILL WARD.  
Evidently if everything is confirmed, they will be playing a set consisting of music from every single CD that Ronnie James Dio performed with BLACK SABBATH, to include Heaven & Hell, Mob Rules, Live Evil and Dehumanizer.  
The reunion cannot tour under the name Black Sabbath, or BLACK SABBATH WITH DIO, due to the fact that the copyright of the name is the property of OZZY OSBOURNE and his wife/manager Sharon Osbourne.
fuck yeah 8)

hold on, since when couldnt they use the name black sabbath anymore.
Stupid sharon osbourne, shes a right arsehole she is.

because the name Black Sabbath is tied to the band when Ozzy is with them. he and Sharon bought the rights to the name back when he rejoined Sabbath a few years ago

Thats just sad.
Everyone treats black sabbath as if it is just another part of ozzy osbourne solo career.
yes i love ozzy and all of his music.
However , he wouldnt be here if it wasnt for those 3 dudes.
They have just as much right to use the name as he does. Lots of people like dio era, i dont, but still i think its unfair they cant use the name.

I kind of agree with that, Ozzy's voice is really boring. I've not listened to Dio much, but I do understand the influence he's had on many bands, so I'd better listen to some more Dio stuff.

Im not keen on dio era sabbath, i think its cheesy for sabbath.
However his own solo career, is cheesy but i like that cause its his own stuff, not sabbath.
Holy diver

Fucking awesome, Dio is just great. I'm defently seeing this tour, Dio singing "Black Sabbath" is something I need to see.
