Buck Dharma looked back on Blue Öyster Cult’s co-headlining tour with Black Sabbath in a new interview with VRP Rocks. The guitarist shared:. “It was fun. Sabbath was managed by Sandy Pearlman at that time and I don’t think they enjoyed the experience. You know, it was the Sabbath with Ronnie Dio and Mr. Vinny Appice. They didn’t like supporting us because we would switch headlining and they considered themselves the bigger band than us. Other than that, it was great. We were always huge Sab fans.”

In a new interview with Niclas Müller-Hansen of RockSverige, former BLACK SABBATH singer Tony Martin was asked if he would be open to doing something with Tony Iommi again in the future. He responded: "I would, and I've already said that if he felt like doing something I'd be up for it. I don't think Tony is really… What's the word?… I think he's come to the end of his need to do things. He doesn't need to do this stuff. As you get older, and he had that problem with the cancer thing, he's definitely not interested in touring, really. He could do the odd appearance, but he doesn't need to, so I don't know. I'd like to, but it's one of these things… Whilst everybody's still alive, there's always a possibility. I mean, they could still get Bill Ward back in the band and start again, in theory. Once people start passing along, you can't sort of do that anymore. I've already said that I wouldn't mind doing something if they were interested. We'll see how it goes."
