MAJOR TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT:

RONNIE JAMES DIO, TONY IOMMI , GEEZER BUTLER AND VINNY APPICE HAVE REUNITED FOR THE HEAVEN AND HELL TOUR 2007. JOINING THEM WILL BE MEGADETH AND DOWN.

LOS ANGELES, CA, January 22, 2007 - Putting to bed the longstanding rumors of a reunion tour, Heaven and Hell have announced their first tour dates for 2007. The tour will feature 11 Canadian shows, along with an exciting one-night-only performance at one of the most prestigious venues in the world, New York's Radio City Music Hall. Heaven and Hell reunites Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice for the first time in 15 years.

Currently there are 12 scheduled stops, starting on March 11 in Vancouver and ending on March 30 in New York City. The ‘Heaven And Hell’ world tour will continue until the end of the year with shows in the US, Asia and Europe. Additional dates will be announced shortly.

Multi-platinum recording artist Megadeth will be joining the tour and previewing never before heard material from their new CD United Abominations, due out May 8th on Roadrunner Records. The tour also brings the return of Down, featuring Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown from Pantera, as well as Pepper Keenan of COC. This will undisputedly be the most anticipated rock tour of 2007.

The heavy metal icons are also scheduled to release a new anthology entitled Black Sabbath: The Dio Years. Anticipated release date is 4/3/07 on Rhino/Warner Bros. Records.

Hmm... sound interesting...

[VitaminG]

I thought they'd announced this a while ago. Heaven and Hell are supposed to be playing down here too. Definitely one to check out.

[quakana]

YYYEEEEEEAAHHHHH!!!!!! I had tickets to that show waaayy back I think it was 1981??when....never went....I will this time

[St.James]

Maybe RJD will refuse to go on because Ozzy will sit in on a few old Sabbath songs and they'll call Rob Halford in at the last minute... Again.

[tanpsi]

Yeah I would like to see that, Heaven and Hell was one of my favorite albums although I've never heard any of the others except Mob rules a couple times,

Any one think they will play some DIO songs?

[VoiceX3]

Any one think they will play some DIO songs?

Not a chance.

[Newc]

Well, considering they won't play any Sabbath songs.......


BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH :ROTF:

Seriously, though, did RJD memorize the words this time or will he need his old notebook? :ROTF:

Maybe Ian Gillan will jump in for a couple of songs, if he can remember them? :ROTF:

Oh wait, I know, that one guy that was in the band for like a week and never recorded one track yet goes on that Christian TV network and brags about how he personally witnessed the others performing Satanic rituals :ROTF:

On the other hand, can't wait for the Dio Years DVD. I've got the Ozzy years VHS, so maybe they'll do both in one DVD set?

ANd a Black Box II would be nice - all the post-Ozzy discs :HeadBang:

Those are the only two RJD Sabbath albums, unless you count Live Evil (Live album). Oh, I guess you could count the one they released in like '92 or so...Dehumanizer. Took me a few seconds to recall the name.

[Joe_Steeler]

Sounds cool, count me in.

[Nuclear Vampire]

I got me floor seats. Fuck yeah.

[Sinistas]

Keep in mind that this lineup (H&H, Megadeth, Down) seems to be only for Canada.
