Surprises me that these are covers. Ozzy is a pro at selling his ass by now... you'd think they'd have gotten the originals.
Actually, does Ozzy have the rights to the Sabbath tunes?

Ozzy is also a recovering Ozzy Osborne... Rumor is he used master copies of these for his privy...

Ignorance ftl.
Of the few cover songs in Rock Band most can be attributed to either lost master recordings or the facts that the individual drum sections have been mixed into a single layer. This was commonplace before the early 80s and the reason that most pre80s songs in RB are covers.

so couldn't they take the rest of the song, but just have someone record the drumming on their own in a harmonix studio?

gonk,
Read the link I posted below. There is a nightmarish list of resprictions that come with using master recordings. You cannot simply have a new artist replace the work of the original artist and pass it off as a "master track".

Couldn't you use the master tracks for everything but the drums then? And lay down a new drum track?

War Pigs was definitely one of my favorite songs on GHII. Looking forward to grabbing it once I actually get Rock Band.

What the hell happened to all the master tracks? I couldn't give a shit either way, as I'm not an audiophile, but wasn't that the big thing with Rock Band?

I've been following RB's development since it was first announced. It took some work but I tracked down a good discussion of covers.

Above is a good discussion on the topic. Be sure to read Bakkster and tbradshaw's posts. A Harmonix employee also states this in the topic on page 3:
"Any covers we do have, which are very few, are due to masters being unavailable or unusable for some reason."

Who gives a crap if the song is done well? That Aerosmith song in Rock Band sounded like Steven Tyler to me!

Yeah Rock Band keeps chugging right along. Taking a pass on GH3 for rockband is starting to look like the best shopping decision ive made all year! If only rockbands rocking power could get my money back for Two Worlds...

I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove Black Sabbath but come one add other songs other than these, Into the Void, Fairies Wear Boots, Children of the Grave, Supernaut, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Killing Yourself to Live would all be great
actually they need to release a Black Sabbath version of Rock Band with every Sabbath song (except that Heaven and Hell bullshit)

just wanna say thanks to the Stiq for providing the vids (i.e. letting us listen) conveniently along with the post. Saves me time when deciding what to piddle my precious few points on without wasting them since i don't always remember a tune just from a name and I'm a lazy schmuck and can't be bothered to poke youtube on my own most of the time.
Plz make it a regular part of the posts?
