Didn't work for AC/DC either.

That record wasn't done terribly, you can't really "strip down" AC/DC.

Rubin's methods made those early Slayer & Danzig records sound great imo. I think Sabbath is a very raw sounding, primative modern technology, no frills band (except for Ozzy's sure to be autotuned, layered vocals). I think Rubin's methods will enhance the riffs and guitar tone of Iommi and allow Geezer's bass lines to be more prevelant than on the Devil You Know (great album but I thought Iommi's tone was too slick & muddied with Geezer's bass at times). The drums will probably suffer some due to lack of reverb. Overall I think he is one of the best choices for a great sounding Black Sabbath album. I don't think he will steer them in the wrong direction. Afterall, this is the same guy who turned the trainwreck known as Metallica back in the right, heavier direction.

Is this a good thing? I'm not terribly familiar with RATM but from what I've heard, that's a fucking weird choice for Sabbath. Is he one of those drummers who won't fuck it up, though? Inform me, drummerbros.

Enough of this shit, it's been done to death.

[fonzbear2000]

I don't care who the drummer is as long as they put out an album that's on par with the first 6.

Never been a fan. I am very surprised that he is the drummer they picked. They probably could have had about anyone.

Brad Willk is a good drummer but only showcases it in a couple RATM songs and not at all on Audiosalve where he decided to be Paul Rudd on all three albums.

This is an odd choice for sure, but I am curious to see what happens.

What happened to Mike Bordin?!?!

It's not like he's busy touring the states with Faith No More.
