I’m going to the show because it’s BLACK FUCKING SABBATH! I listened to some of the footage from the earlier concerts this year and I agree, Ozzy doesn’t sound that good, but considering what he’s been thru and his age, I think he’s doing pretty fucking good when others that old can’t even remember the songs. I wouldn’t miss the show for any reason. Reading some of the other comments, how can you not like Dirty Women. If you’ve been a fan of Sabbath thru the years then you should know that Technical Ecstasy is one of their great albums as they all were in the Ozzy years. Every Sabbath album is kick ass! They all sound different but they all sound like Sabbath. I don’t know about you but Dirty Women was/were a big part of my younger life hanging out in the 70’s and 80’s, in more ways than one if you know what I mean. I’ve seen Sabbath and Heaven and Hell in concert over the years when they were at their best, sometimes note for note and other times when they didn’t sound that good but I always want to see and hear them play again. If I’m lucky enough to get the opportunity to go to a Black Sabbath concert, I’m there! Do your self a favor, pull out an older Sabbath album you haven’t listened to in a while, get your mind right, and take a ride down the road with your good friends BLACK SABBATH! It always works for me. Don’t be afraid to Listen Loud. I may not know them individually but Sabbath helped me thru a lot of rough times in my life and made the good times better. That’s a friend in my book. Anyway, I’ll be there rocking out on August 2nd and if they come back around I’ll pay to see them again. The new album “13” is another masterpiece. Every song is kicks ass! Jim F. said that every day he has a different favorite song on that album. I agree. I don’t know how they did it at this stage of their lives but someone or something was in their corner for this one. For me there’s no way to say which album is better than another. Each one has been my favorite at different times in my life. Every time I listen to one of the many Sabbath albums from the past or even the present there’s a good chance that it’s going to be my new favorite Sabbath album, at least until the next one I hear. Black Sabbath is clearly my favorite band of all time. If I had the $1000 I would of paid for the meet and greet just to get a chance to meet and take a picture with Tony Iomi. That would be priceless. Ozzy and Geezer are right up there as well. Hopefully they’re coming to a town near you. If you have the chance to see them, you should go. WAKE THE FUCK UP! IT’S BLACK SABBATH. They won’t be around forever. Or will they? DON’T MISS OUT! See you at the show. MIKEY
Well said Mikey, or Wolf, or Gof. I’ve never understood the fans that slag Ozzy. We all know its not 1976 anymore. He’s been through it all, more than anyone else. He’s still fucking Ozzy. Before his success with MTV, people revered him as God. When Dio took over the reigns, fans rebelled and freaked out. Now people talk more highly about Dio than Ozzy. I don’t care which one you liked better, he’s still fucking Ozzy Osbourne. He’s not the guy he once was, but hardly any of these guys are. The fact that he is still alive is unbelievable, not to mention going on stage and singing. If you don’t like the guy, I get it. If you don’t want to see the guy, I get that too. But don’t slag him. He is a fucking legend along with Tony and Geezer. He is one of the reasons all those years ago that many of us got into Metal in the first place.
Hard to imagine a song from TECHNICAL and none from SABOTAGE or SBS but whatever. I think SABOTAGE is the Sabs MACHINE HEAD or ZEPPLIN 4. The most underrated rock album in history.
Go to THIS tour, pay for a ticket, then sit and watch on an Ipod screen. LMAO
To the “tech kiddies” : Sharon smart enough to film all, compile best clips, make a DVD I’ll get next year.
Will be far better on my 50 in screen and through my home system, an actual stereo not an Ipod, rather than some junky U-tube video, LOL. Having seen Ozzy a few earlier times from Gillis on, but far more Sabbath with Martin, Dio, and Gillan must admit I go where Iommi goes. I saw the set list and Dirty Women my pick of best for Tony’s riffs. Cut to the chase: Iommi invented Metal as we know it.
Kiddies aren’t grasping, so missing, what they can SEE. Can’t believe I got the Heaven and Hell CDs and DVDs added to catalog, now “13.” Before that I though the catalog was long done. Pumped for the 2 shows I’ll see, as always CLOSE, and won’t be looking at it through a stupid Ipod screen !!
You are ***SO*** right, Mark!
Your right Richman, It would be cool to hear songs from Sabotage and SBS. My set list would have them playing some of their more obscure stuff. Unfortunately, there’s just not enough time to play it all. Maybe they will change it up in the upcoming shows. Whatever they play I’m there!
Yikes! Ozzy still has to read every word off the teleprompter for Iron Man. You’d think of all tunes he’d know that one. Sounds horrible. Waited too long for that reunion fellas.
scrape and they say bill ward couldn’t remember how to play some songs.i think is bull shit. this is 3/4 Sabbath.
