Guess what (and other stupidities)

They could have easily recorded a Christmas single with Walker..

I bet Iommi is sitting on the master tapes for it. Maybe there were one or two acetates made, but no known pressings of a Walker-fronted Black Sabbath performing "Little Drummer Boy". Or was it "Santa Baby"?

For one track, it was actually the tune for "Blues for Christmas" . Lyrics were still formative, but mostly dealt with losing a loved one around that time of year, feelings of loss, etc. Of course, Ozzy refused to sing it, opining that he didn't want to have Sabbath be "... another [expletive deleted] Slade, singing 'Merry Christmas Everyone' every [expletive deleted] December to the end of [expletive deleted] time..." (Ozzy, it should be noted, was cited by Gordon Ramsay as one of his biggest influences growing up.)

Another track took a down-tuned version of Greensleeves, with the question "What child is this?" answered not in a religious fashion, but in a sort of "look at all the kids suffering" fashion. Ozzy's rant included the following barb: "Oh great, [expletive deleted] "Child in Time" for [expletive deleted] Christmas, just what we [expletive deleted] needed. I'm NOT [expletive deleted] screaming, if that's what you're [expletive deleted] thinking."

The third track was a cover of John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)", done pretty straightforward. The version with Walker sounds great - I got to hear it at a ***VERY SPECIAL*** Black Sabbath listening party - but Ozzy never got around to recording it. He was actually in favor of that one: "Now John [expletive deleted] Lennon, he can [expletive deleted] write a [expletive deleted] song!" There were, however, litigation concerns about dealing with material still under Apple's copyright control, so that one got shelved.

Z, are you in the Black Sabbath inner circle? Man that is some rare stuff, I never heard of these, please elaborate I’d love to hear the story.

Damn, I’ll fell for it again, I’m a sucker. I can’t tell sarcasm or jokes sometimes, thanks for telling me Vyn.

Well, I prefer the term "elaborate fiction", but yeah, it's a joke.

I'll post another fiction of mine in another thread... there's a story that will go with that story...

You've been posting a lot of that on the politics thread already!

A lot? I only mentioned Kim Jong Il instead of Kim Jong Un a handful of times.

Why wouldn't everyone be?

Naming a Black Hole after him...bit of a different league really...honestly no black hole should ever be named after a person...unless it would be the person who discovered it then yes.
There is enough trivialization of science going on in the world we don't really need any more.
Black Holes are the most impressive things in the whole Universe...Chris Cornell was just a dude who sang crappy music and killed himself.
No. This is a big fat NO on the account of it being absolutely stupid.

I liked Soundgarden's music, myself.  Not that that has any relevance.  But the main reason the name was suggested was because of the song Black Hole Sun he sang.  If that song did not exist, then it would never have been suggested.

[Zzzptm]

I say Cornell should get in line. There was that Disney movie about The Black Hole back in the day, they should have first crack at naming rights.

[Vyn]

Good point Zzz...we should name it B.O.B

[Zzzptm]

Precisely. Until then, Soundgarden can wait.
