The 2017 documentary Black Sabbath: The End Of The End provided a look into the final tour of one of the biggest heavy metal bands of all time. Specifically, the concert doc followed the reunited Black Sabbath during their final farewell concert tour in 2017 after a whopping 49 years together. The doc immortalized the band’s last performance in their hometown of Birmingham, England at Genting Arena. The concert as a whole was an incredible production. But one song in particular really struck the hearts of fans: Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid”.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

“Best Of” lists are subjective no matter the topic, but nothing gets rock and metal fans quite as riled up as when a magazine, website or other media outlet publishes one with some glaring omissions.  A list done by The Mirror last year has begun making the rounds again on social media drawing plenty of negative reaction. Social media posts show the publication’s Top 10 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time, shortened from their original list of 20.

The current Pantera reunion is not a real Pantera reunion. We know this. There was never any love lost between singer Phil Anselmo and the late brothers Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul, and it’s not a coincidence that Anselmo didn’t get any version of Pantera together until those guys were no longer around to stop it. Also, Anselmo has a long history of saying sketchy shit onstage, which caused some European festivals to drop Pantera from their lineups a couple of years ago. On the other hand, our own Chris DeVille went to see the current version of Pantera, and he had a great time. Despite everything, this version of Pantera remains your best remaining option to hear these almighty hammerhead riffs played real loud in a big crowd.
