Black Sabbath Reunion "Just A Rumor"

Metal fans will be rejoicing when the "original" members of Black Sabbath get back together to play two shows in Birmingham, England on Dec. 4 and 5.

As of today, only Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler are scheduled to perform at the England shows. However, Ana Adame, the band's publicist said there's been talk that original drummer, Bill Ward, who was left off last summer's OZZfest, will join the other members on stage. "I spoke with Ozzy's management and they said Bill's rumored to be there, but at this time, nothing's confirmed," Adame said.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
