Black Sabbath Reunion, almost

Interesting news in the rock and roll world today. Black Sabbath is reuniting, with a twist - the lead singer this time will be Ronnie James Dio instead of Ozzy. RJD, of course, was once a vocalist for Sabbath in the 1980s before moving on to other projects.

At first I was a tad sorry for Ozzy, but now I've learned that this version of Black Sabbath will be a separate project called "Heaven and Hell." Apparently the original Sabbath members are all still talking and planning on working together in the future. This will effectively create two groups featuring the musicians of Black Sabbath - one with Dio singing and one with Ozzy singing. The more I think about it, the more I realize this could be very, very good.

Tell me, Sabbath fans - what do you think about this new development?

I'm a die-hard Ozzy fan but I think Black Sabbath deserves some recognition too. I think this is great and can be a good thing, a very good thing. :-D

I'm a bit confused... Two Black Sabbath's! I like Dio, and possibly more than Ozzy so personally I sort of like the idea. It's not like he's some outsider, he was in Sabbath.
