I like more of After All than TV Crimes, but I'd like to hear TV

Now this is one thing I don't like. I don't like too loud concerts, as
I respect my hearing. Normally I use little earplugs in concerts,
because they don't have too big effect on quality of music and they
don't cause any trouble when you're rocking. But I wouldn't like to
use them at Black Sabbath gig.

I like much more of drum solos than guitar solos... I love the solo
Vinny played when he was in Dio The Band, hopely he'll play it in
Edinburgh.

I want one too! I already have Tony's and Geezer's plectrums but I
want Vinny's stick too!

Around the time when Dehumanizer was released, there was an interview
of Geezer and Cozy on MTV Europe and I heard Cozy's voice there for
the first time...
