It's a question that has plagued man since the shredding gods first emerged: Who is the greatest metal guitarist? And now the question can finally be answered.

Eddie "The Rocker" Norton, a well-known former roadie with Black Sabbath and friend of guitarist Tony Iommi, has died after crashing his motorcycle into a sign post in Thailand.

MTV's 'The Osbournes' set ratings records for the network during its 2002-05 run, kicked off showbiz careers for various members of the clan, and kept Ozzy Osbourne in the spotlight during a relatively barren creative period. Looking back, though, he sounds like he probably wouldn't do it again.

As the drummer for Rage Against the Machine, Brad Wilk faced plenty of tough crowds -- but none of that helped take care of his nerves the first time he sat behind the kit for Black Sabbath.

Ozzy Osbourne's solo sound owes a lot to the music he made with Black Sabbath, but he found it difficult to get back in the band mindset when he rejoined Sabbath for the new '13' album.

The images used to create the nearly nine-minute-long Black Sabbath video for 'God Is Dead?' come from a wide range of places. Little new footage was shot for the just-released clip. Instead director Peter Joseph borrowed from his previous works and archival Sabbath footage.

"Never say never." That's what Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler is saying about the prospect of more new music after '13' is released next Tuesday (June 11). Singer Ozzy Osbourne also says he'd like to cut more songs, but no one is making any promises.

"Live", 'Live', 'Live' , it appears a major portion of June is 'live album' month with the new goods being released whether it's by design or by accident, I'm not really sure.

Are you ready for some new Black Sabbath (?) I know I am. 'Black Sabbath 13' is on it's way.

A Chilean radio station is streaming a new song by Black Sabbath. Futuro 88.9 FM premiered 'End of the Beginning' yesterday. You can hear the song -- all eight-plus minutes of it -- here.

Black Sabbath fans jonesing for an early taste of the band's upcoming '13' album got a treat last night (May 15), when Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler showed up to debut some new material on the season finale of 'CSI.'

In the latest inside peek at the studio sessions, Geezer, Ozzy and Tony join producer Rick Rubin to reveal the creative arcs that took place while putting together their highly-anticipated release: 13.
