and led zeppelin.

Black Sabbath sold over

70 million records

so following on from the

black Sabbath news its only

fair that i tell you about the

band which are known as

snow blind. Didn't get to see

Sabbath at download well

then check these guys out.

They do all the classic

Sabbath songs the look the

part and no matter where

they go there always granted

to blow the roof of any venue.

hear is the biography from the

official face book page.

"Tommi Iommi had been pursuing a solo career for a few years when he met Mr Zig (who required a gig), and through their love of Black Sabbath, decided to recruit the best players to complete the line up, enter: Paul E Butler on bass and Johnny Blade on drums. As "SNOWBLIND", they morphed into the best and most hard working Black Sabbath tribute to emerge in decades, and through their blistering live performances, made believers of all who have seen them!"

snow blind are one of the

best tribute acts i have

ever seen and if u cant see

Sabbath live to close your

eyes and listen to snow-

blind i promise u wont now

the difference there just

as good as the real thing !!

Check out snow blind on
