A few weeks ago the news had Ozzy coming out of a hospital and how he couldn't perform any longer... Now, let's rock.... Wtf

He retired from touring, but said one-off shows were still a possibility if his health improved.

Shameless money-grab by a dying man who cannot perform to expectations. His health has not improved.

Regibiel t1_jee2iev wrote

If you did this as long as him i think it is very difficult to just stop. I dont think he is just moneygrabbing. He probably just loves doing it.

My dad was the same. He could not stop working or just being on the move til the day he died. No idea how the fuck he was like that and I’m just happy if I don’t have to go outside.

Right? I thought he was done for good. Long live Ozzy.

Sharron overruled the doctors and said he is a fine cash cow.

NoesHowe2Spel t1_jed5q0c wrote

No, he said he can't tour anymore. One off performances here and there are fine. Just not 3 months at a time with only a day or two off in between.

Sharon needs to wheel him out once in a while to keep herself in the public eye.

b0ilineggsndenim1944 t1_jebenlq wrote

He clarified that the whole "ozzy can't perform anymore" thing was overblown by the media. He said that he can still sing and perform fine, he just can't travel for touring anymore.

hamsterwheel t1_jed1h07 wrote

I saw him with Sabbath in 2016, and I wouldn't say he can still sing.

They cancelled my show and I can't get my plane + hotel money back, I'm happy that Ozzy is better to perform but I'm not happy I will miss my last chance to see him live while some other people can, plus I lost money on the process of trying

Dang I thought he was done after going to the "No more Tours 2" show.

My thought as well. It would be one show relatively close to one of his houses.

I thought this was in reference to the band Power Trip who's singer unfortunately died a couple years ago. It's too bad it isn't. They were so good.

JustBoredIsAll t1_jea7q5f wrote

Yeah, I got pretty excited there for a second... Same time though, I don't think I'd want to know what Axl would sound like doing Executioners Tax. Or Ozzy. Or Hetfield. Or Maynard...

RIP Riley.

HEBushido t1_jea8dpg wrote

Oof yeah that would sound rough. I'm not into newer Metallica and Maynard is excellent, but not the right voice at all.

CELTICPRED t1_jecsym2 wrote

My first thought too. There was something about how they captured that old school thrash sound and evergy that modern thrash doesn't do for me.

Log and Kreator just did a new collab to recently to benefit a charity in his name

TwistingSerpent93 t1_jeczu7q wrote

That sucks! Fentanyl is a menace and until the government comes up with a solution to it, I can't imagine how anyone would be comfortable with any drugs not directly sourced through a pharmacy.

2

HEBushido t1_jed0t8m wrote

It really is. I think that during the development and subsequent release of any drug there should be an independent process of studying the drugs effects.

Opioids were sold as non-addictive, this could have been proven incorrect well before the drugs reached the market if we had a system which audited and verified the drug trial process.

Of course this could not happen with every drug, there's solutions to that.

303MkVII t1_jeb0avd wrote

Back in 2005 when Iron Maiden played Ozzfest, Bruce Dickinson made a joke about Ozzy having a reality show. Sharon didn't like it and cut the sound during Iron Maiden's set and had people egg them.

Beyobi t1_jeb80h7 wrote

Interesting. I hadn't heard about that. I went to Ozzfest that year in California and Bruce was talking all kinds of shit about Ozzy. Bruce came off as a complete asshole and we boo'ed him. You don't talk shit about the guy that's headlining the tour you are getting paid by. And you don't rant to the crowd instead of playing music. That's not what we were there for.

b0ilineggsndenim1944 t1_jebevss wrote

Bruce has always been a loudmouth asshole. He even talked shit about priest, despite the fact that him and rob have worked together and Rob has never had a single negative thing to say about him.

NoesHowe2Spel t1_jed629f wrote

>Rob has never had a single negative thing to say about him.

I don't think Rob has a bad word for anyone. He didn't even say anything bad about the other Priest guys while he was out of the band. He's the metal community's chill AF gay uncle.

Oh man, I remember that drama. On the Iron Maiden message board we were having discussions about crowdfunding an ad in the New York Times or something with some self-righteous defence of the band after the incident.

Seacarius t1_jeb6q1f wrote

So a metal version of Desert Trip that I attended in 2016 (Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, The Who, The Rolling Stones, and Roger Waters)...

We paid $1,500 to each ticket in 2016. I wonder what they'll be this time?

oSpid3yo t1_jebfdto wrote

$600 for GA and about the same for the pit.

hoffsta t1_jebwan3 wrote

$1600 for pit (before fees)

oSpid3yo t1_jebwr5y wrote

I wasn’t wrong I just wasn’t exact as I didn’t remember how far off it was. I just saw the number and said “heeeeeeeelllllllll no”

Then I’d have to buy an RV camping ticket which I wasn’t able to find a price for yet. Gas, food, beer, booze, drugs, hookers, and I’m looking at spending well over 10k to see some bands that probably aren’t even good live anymore.

Maybe when the full lineup drops.

hoffsta t1_jebxbfi wrote

I’m definitely NOT going at those prices. I could have so many more memorable experiences for that dough. I just saw an amazing 4-band metal show, headlined by Soulfly, for $20, and got to be front and center in the pit.

This mosh pit would be like two full European vacations, lol.

God, I got Metallica weekend tickets in November. Friday the openers are Wolfgang Van Halen and Pantera. Never really listened to WVH, never got to see Pantera. I’m stoked for Friday. Sunday is Ice Nine Kills and Five Finger Death Punch. Told my buddy that we’ll be fashionably late Sunday.

NoesHowe2Spel t1_jed68t6 wrote

I swear that Metallica picking 5 Finger Death Punch was a flex directed at Megadeth. Kind of a "See this band you're opening for? They open for US".

I was there as well. I'll be at this show for sure. Grew out of the Coachella's after like 12 straight years of them, and can't stand country so I dread StageCoach. I have a vacation home about 1 mile away from Empire Polo Grounds which I rent to some of the Goldenvoice staff.

To be fair I’m in BC and it’s probably cheaper for either of us to fly to Cali or Vegas than it is to fly to eachothers provinces lol. For me, definitely

Damn, I haven’t really flown for a few years since I did in camp. I didn’t pay but my tickets just to go up North a bit we’re 1200-1800 lol

Regina to Kelowna was over $900 around the early 2010s. I guess last time was right near the start of the pandemic Kamloops to Calgary and even that was 200-300 each way. I guess I’ll have to check swoop next time, honestly hadn’t even heard of it until now.

Kelli217 t1_jeff4by wrote

It does, and it does. But the major executives at the radio stations and recording labels and concert promoters are all the age where they'd've been teens when these artists were in their heyday.

It's the Boomer problem all over again, except it's Gen X now that has the entrenched tastes. I am Gen X, and I know that I haven't kept up with music since 15 to 20 years ago, when Adele and Lady Gaga were making their first hits. I want to be more like my mom was, who listened to Top 40 right up until she lost her faculties in the mid 2000s, and liked Matchbox Twenty as much as she liked Chuck Berry as a teenager or Glenn Miller as a small child.

They totally blew it with pairing up the bands. G 'n' R should be the same night as AC/DC. Maiden and Ozzy, and a 3 hour Metallica show. No Tool. Their music has little in common with any of these other bands, and they are horribly out of place. At least they should have their own night

I went to see Ozzy a few years back and it was absolute garbage. He was pure crap, without question the worst concert I've ever been too.
