There are a few bands you read rumors of a reunion about all the time; Led Zeppelin (surviving members obviously), Guns N' Roses, Pink Floyd, and last but not least Black Sabbath. Ozzy spoke about his old mates recently and seemed surprisingly hopeful about making another Sabbath record.

The Ozzman sat down with QMI and when asked about why their reunion talks always seem to fall apart:

"I haven't got a clue. If they want to call me, they can call me. I never say never. If it works, fine. If it don't, I'll move on. It ain't the end of the world. I ain't gonna get a box of Kleenex and cry my eyes out for the rest of my life...we're not kids anymore. I don't wanna bullshit them and I don't want them to bullshit me. Why should I go back to that and be unhappy when I'm happy right now? I mean, I would love to do a great album with Black Sabbath. I would love to get the credit we so roundly deserve. At the same time, the pressure would be really intense. I could go tomorrow and make an album with them, but it wouldn't necessarily be something I would be proud of."

Don't hold your breath but it's a definite step in the right direction for a Sabbath reunion.
