Tony doubts: "I don't know if that would be an anticlimax if we wrote another album"

Tony and his bandmates Geezer Butler and Ozzy Osbourne spoke to Revolver magazine about whether there will be another studio album from the band following the chart-topping success of Sabbath's comeback effort, "13".

Iommi, who claims to have "hundreds" of unused riffs, refused to give a definitive answer. "I don't know if that would be an anticlimax if we wrote another album," he explained. "I'd like to, but we haven't actually spoken about it, you know? I don't know if that would be a good idea after this one, because this one's done so well. I'm sure we'd all like to do one. But I don't know. Maybe I should talk to the others about it."

"I really haven't thought about it," Butler concurred. 'I'm just glad that we made this one. It can't be something where you go in and go, 'Well, that one was No. 1, so let's do another No. 1 album.' I think we'll know if we can do it or if we can't. If we have to force it, then we won't be doing it."

"I don't want to say there's going to be another album, because I don't want you to ask me in another year, 'What happened when you said you were going to do another record?'" Ozzy said. "I'll leave it open. I'm open for anything. I have three albums to deliver of my own solo thing to my record label.

"We'll all still be doing music," Ozzy continued. "It's been a lot of fun doing it with Black Sabbath, and I'm not sorry at all for getting back together.

The guys have released another video sample from the upcoming Live... Gathered In Their Masses release. Watch a clip of 'End Of The Beginning', as well as 'Loner', below:
