This tour is not getting a dime from me.
I was lucky enough to get GREAT seats at their 1999 reunion tour (with Bill Ward). PANTERA opened up for them. FUCKING PANTERA! I met Dimebag and Sharon that night (before Sharon got her stomach stapled!).
I consider myself lucky and am quitting while I’m ahead.
He even sounds horrible on the new songs, how is that possible?? I get that he can’t reach the high notes of 30 years ago, but very flat and off key on new stuff!
Pro-Tools is used to keep Ozzy’s voice fired up…..and yes, he reads the teleprompter.
People keep talking about giving Ozzy a break, he’s been thru alot, he’s in his 60’s, blah, blah, blah.
People, Tony and Geezer and Halford, and Dickinson and, on and on and on, have all been thru alot and are older but are they half as bad as Ozzy is at their skill ? NO. I guess it’s better than nothing but for me, Ozzy was a great vocalist with a unique voice but a terriable performer and dosent act like someone thats been labeled ” the prince of darkness” should . Especially with a mystique that Sabbath has/ should have . Dio even commented on it once….. Tony should have pulled him aside in the early days and said ” Dude , you need to have a better stage presence . Not run around with a bucket of confetti and jump up and down and clap in a dork kind of way.
And mosty of all, this isnt a Sabbath reunion without Bill PERIOD !
Slagging a guy for having a really long career is a little silly to me. Yes he’s not Halford or Dickenson, but he was there before Halford and Dickenson. Halford even lists him as an influence back to the Birmingham days. He’s not everyone’s cup of tea – especially now. But the guy has been around forever singing heavy music. I understand that he’s a shell of his former self. But he’s still Ozzy Fucking Osbourne to a lot of Sabbath fans.
And oh yeah, get over the Ward thing…its a little tired now.
AS LONG AS IT’S TONY IOMMI IT’S BLACK SABBATH! IT WAS SABBATH WITH DIO. IT WAS SABBATH WITH GILLAN, IT WAS SABBATH WITH MARTIN. IT’S SABBATH WITH OZZY. THEY’RE NOT AS GOOD AS THEY WERE IN THE OLD DAYS BUT IF YOU’VE LISTENED TO THEM AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU’RE PROBABLY NOT AS GOOD AS YOU WERE IN THE OLD DAYS EITHER. WHEN IT COMES TO SABBATH I’LL TAKE WHAT I CAN GET AT THIS STAGE OF THE GAME. *****METAL FOREVER*****
Trust me, the last tour with Ward was brutal….he’d be out like a light 4 songs in.
