"When we got together at the beginning of this year, we knew that we had to make it better than when we left it '79. But things just haven't worked out that way. It's kind of like meeting up with your first girlfriend for a quickie and realizing that things just aren't the same."
However, with no outings scheduled for Black Sabbath in the immediate future, band guitarist Tony Iommi is said to now be working on material for his forthcoming second solo outing.
