No doubt about it, Singapore is corrupting Malaysian youth! Yay for that!

Many of us have been speculating on the rumours for months, now lemme tell you what I heard from Shaiful Zerox today.

NOFX – 20 April 2007
SICK OF IT ALL – 24 May 2007
BLACK SABBATH – 25 May 2007

Now, I don’t have much zeal for NOFX, not nowadays anyway. SOIA had their great moments but Black Sabbath in Singapore? Sabbath Bloody Hell Bloody Sabbath!!

And I heard it’s gonna be the 2nd most favourite (of mine) period of Sabbath-dom. It’s that very ugly guy Ronnie James Dio on vocals, so all of you oldies, do dust up that copy of Heaven and Hell, memorise the lyrics and book the ticket lah!

One thing to remember though, the group may not be called as Black Sabbath at all. Here’s an excerpt from Dio’s wiki page:

In October 2006 it was confirmed that Dio would be reuniting with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice to tour under the moniker ‘Heaven and Hell’, which was the title of the first Dio era Black Sabbath record. They’ve used the name “Heaven and Hell” as Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler are still in the Black Sabbath band with Ozzy Osbourne and felt it was best to use a different moniker for the Dio version of the band. Original Black Sabbath Drummer Bill Ward was to be involved in this project, but he has since confirmed his withdrawal.

To those who forgot here’s a taste:

NEON KNIGHTS

Oh no, here it comes again
Can’t remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on, good things never last
Nothing’s in the past, it always seems to come again
Again and again and again

Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Captain’s at the helm, sail across the sea of lights
Circles and rings, dragons and kings
Weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell

Bloodied angels fast descending
Moving on a never-bending light
Phantom figures free forever
Out of shadows, shining ever-bright

Neon Knights!
Neon Knights! all right!

Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Captain’s at the helm, sail across the sea of lights
Again and again, again and again and again

Neon Knights!
Neon Knights!
All right!
