Ozzy To Sue Iommi Over Ownership Of Black Sabbath Name Print E-mail
Friday, 29 May 2009 15:29

ozzyAccording to The New York Post, Ozzy Osbourne has filed against former bandmate Toni Iommi over the ownership of the name 'Black Sabbath' claiming that Iommi illegally took control of it when filing a patent with the US Patent Office.

The suit also alledges that Osbourne's "signature lead vocals" are largely responsable for the popularity of Black Sabbath, quoting the lack of popularity during his absence from 1980 through to 1996 as evidence.

Toni Iommi and Geezer Butler have in the past slated Osbourne's writing ability compared to that of current Heaven & Hell frontman Ronnie James Dio, with whom they have several European and North American concert dates scheduled later this year.

A rich man and his wife went into a shop to buy a bracelet.Neither of them was very young. They looked at a lot of beautiful bracelets,and after half an hour there were two Coach Maggie Bags which they liked very much,but they had not yet been able to choose between them.One of them was very expensive,and the other was quite a lot cheaper.
Of course, the shopkeeper wanted to sell them the more expensive one,because then he would get more money from them,so he said to the lady ,'Oh,go on.Spend his money.If you don't,he will only spend
mbt shoes it on his second wife.'
For several seconds nobody said a word,and then the lady said angrily, "I am his second."
