Bill has phoned in from England with the second of his audio diaries! Recorded today the 10th of June, this new diary touches on several topics, including..

* – Tour rehearsals, the start of tour, and Bill’s recalls of the gigs that have happened to this point.
* – Meeting Slash backstage at the warmup gig on Monday.
* – The age of concert audiences seeing Sabbath nowadays and how it seems to be getting younger and younger.
* – Plenty more backstage news items about life on tour including a walking tour of Europe Bill is doing with Tony Iommi while on tour.

The entire audio diary entry is 13 minutes and 25 seconds long. You can download the file here. It’s an m4a (aka mp4) audio file. If you were familiar with the first audio diary, the audio quality of this one is a bit lower, because of the fact that it was Bill talking into a phone in the UK to a speakerphone in Los Angeles and into the recorder. Not the best fidelity, but definitely listenable.

And you won’t want to miss this, as Bill has some great insight into life on tour with Black Sabbath.
