Why wasn't Ward there? Thought he was part of this thing?

Saw them in '99 the last time they reunited and they were on point. Ozzy can't hit all the high notes anymore, but other than that, they stole the show (if it's even possible to "steal" a show you're headlining, but with Slayer and Pantera also on the bill, I was willing to just let them slide because they're fucking legends).
Saw Ozzy more recently a few years back and it was just sad. He had some cheesy foam cannon that he was spraying down the audience with, and there was actually someone whose sole job was to wipe off his TelePrompTer so he wouldn't forget the words to his own songs.
I'd probably wait to see some live footage before I plunked down the kind of cayshe that another Sabbath reunion tour would command.

I gave up on "reunion tours" after seeing The Who in 97. I just can't get with paying that kind of money to see bands that don't have anything new to offer.
The exception to that rule would be a proper Zeppelin reunion tour with Jason Bohnam on drums. Because I don't fucking care, they are awesome. Oh, and it will never happen.
