On this episode of the Rich & Turbo's Heavy Half Hour (S2E25), we are lucky enough to once again have the legend Tony Reed join the show! We always wanted to do a Sabbath record for our classic album of an episode, but we wanted to make it special, so we brought in an expert to talk about the band that started it all. Tony goes way deep into the Sabbath catalog and gives us a peak into his legendary bootleg collection as well. Tony also gives us a glimpse into what it has been like to be in Pentagram, which is a fascinating part of our chat.  We also get into his new record with Hot Spring Water that just dropped (and that is amazing) as well as Tony breaking news on what's next for Mos Generator. Tony is the absolute best and knows so much about the music we love. I wish we could have him on every week.  Please check it out!!!
