The almighty ZAKK SABBATH, led by none other than Zakk Wylde himself, has announced “King Of The Monstours” U.S. tour in December 2024/January 2025 , a 30-city trek across the country together with the release of “Greatest Riffs” BLACK SABBATH trubute. But folks, that’s just the beginning. After all, why stop at one tribute band when you can milk this cash cow for a full herd of SABBATH spin-offs?
In what industry insiders are calling “a genius way to never actually let BLACK SABBATH rest,” ZAKK SABBATH’s upcoming “King of the Monstours” isn’t just a tour—it’s a movement. And it looks like they’re just getting started.
The first wave of copycats are already lined up:
- ROBERT SABBATH – Bass solos so slow, even Ozzy might have forgotten where he is.
- JAMES SABBATH – Just a guy named James. But he plays air guitar really well.
- FRED SABBATH – He’s not related, but he’s from Alabama, and he owns a BLACK SABBATH shirt.
- KAREN SABBATH – Complaining to the venue manager that Master of Reality wasn’t loud enough.
- BILLIE SABBATH – Guaranteed to play a song and then immediately stop to check their TikTok stats.
- RANDY SABBATH – Not to be confused with RANDY SAVAGE, but will elbow drop you during War Pigs.
- GARY SABBATH – He just brings a bong and listens to Iron Man in the parking lot. No ticket required.
- KEVIN SABBATH – A guy who thinks Paranoid is by Judas Priest but really tries hard.
Sources say there are at least ten more iterations planned—somewhere between “Sabbath Original Recipe” and “Sabbath Extra Crispy”. The good news? These tribute acts will continue until audiences stop throwing money at them, which means… they’ll never stop. After all, people still line up for second-hand tributes like it’s 1971.
When asked why these endless tributes keep happening, Wylde simply shrugged and said, “Because people will literally pay for anything with the word ‘Sabbath’ in it, man. Rock on!”
