Black Sabbath Announce Pay-Per-View Stream

Black Sabbath's final show will be on July 5 in Birmingham, UK - and tickets sold-out in just minutes. Dubbed Back to the Beginning, the show is a celebration of Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath and their combined metal legacies. I kept assuming there would be a pay-per-view option and I was right. You can now order your stream ($30) or stream + shirt bundle ($65) and watch the historic event live. (No way was a livestream going to be free).

My guess is this will be Ozzy Osbourne's final live performance ever. We will see how many songs he does with Sabbath, but I can't imagine it will be more than three. Parkinson's disease is awful and his condition is progressing. I am amazed Ozzy is planning his own set before the Sabbath show, but he's been training for this, so bless him.

So many artists are taking part in this big celebration including Metallica, Halestorm, Slash, Steven Tyler, Jake E. Lee, Tom Morello, Slayer, Gojira, Alice in Chains and on and on and on.

Gojira Wins 'Best Metal Performance' Grammy

Remember when I said Gojira gave the best performance of the entire Olympics Opening Ceremony? Well, other folks agreed too, because the French band won the Grammy for "Best Metal Performance." So well deserved and I am excited for them.

Don't remember one of the best live metal performances of all time? I've got you. The official video for "Mea Culpa" is below.

Gojira At The Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony Was Badass

It's a busy time for my team at work and nearly all of us were in the office yesterday. This is very rare. So I turned on our massive television to the Olympics opening ceremonies at 1 pm ET and we let in the play in the background.

I'm working away when I hear heavy metal guitars. Believe me when I say I whipped my chair around so fast. I was astounded at just how perfectly bloody METAL Gojira's performance was! I mean, it was truly a wonderful spectacle and fit the theme so well. Did you miss it? Watch below and if the video is removed, you can watch from the NBC Sports YouTube (which has lamely disabled embed sharing).
