Well today, I thought I would do a band I was inspired to do because of a certain person allegedly coming to Halifax this January. Also maybe cause of the number of the round. Maybe because a bat flew inside my apartment. :shifty:

Black Sabbath

Black Sabbath are an English (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England) heavy metal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_music) band from Birmingham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham%2C_England). The original band line up of Ozzy Osbourne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozzy_Osbourne) (vocals), Tony Iommi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Iommi) (guitar), Terence "Geezer" Butler (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geezer_Butler) (bass), and Bill Ward (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Ward_%28musician%29) (drums) is the same as the current line up (2007) although there have been many shifts of personnel over the years.
Black Sabbath remain a dominant influence in the heavy metal genre they helped create. VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock ranks them second, behind Led Zeppelin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin).
Currently, the early 1980s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s) line-up of the band featuring Iommi, Butler, Ronnie James Dio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_James_Dio) and Vinny Appice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinny_Appice) are touring under the moniker Heaven and Hell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_and_Hell_%28band%29), a title taken from the 1980 Black Sabbath album of the same name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven_and_Hell_%28Black_Sabbath_album%29).
The original and best known line-up are frequently credited as the inventors of the heavy metal genre. Black Sabbath have sold over 100 million albums worldwide

Like Weapon Sex, I can't go higher than a 6.

Tony Iommi is fucking awesome. In fact, I love his solo stuff more than his Sabbath stuff, but I simply cannot stand Ozzy.

So apparently, "hatin'" means "value somethingless than I do," rather than anything meaningful.
