I saw it on the news earlier. I'm sure it will be a great day, but my preference is to remember Ozzy & Sabbath as he/they were back in the day, which can simply not be recreated in 2025. In all honesty, I am more interested in listening to the new stuff. That sounds awfully miserable, I know, but Ozzy hasn't been capable of a decent show for many a year now. ------------- Enhance your life.

Oh, I definitely hear you, Steve. And I'd be way more cynical if it were a full tour. But this is kind of a neat idea I think, to do a one-off for their hometown. I don't know much about Birmingham, but I'm assuming that all these bands and fans coming will be a nice windfall for the local coffers of food workers and hoteliers, etc. They'll probably do a 30-minute set given all the support bands, and the local fans will have a thrill. But from the artistic perspective, I remember them as they were in the day too. Just like I said in the Stones thread. These bands have their "relevant artist" period, and then they have their Vegas show period for ever after. But, if I'm lucky enough to catch a stream of it over here, I'll suspend my cynicism and try to enjoy seeing the four of them one more time, as I did with Zeppelin in '07. ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

"It’s
been an incredible journey, but it’s only fitting that it ends here,
where it all began in Aston. It’s great to be honoured by your fellow
musicians and at the same time support good causes. None of this
would’ve been possible without Ozzy, Geezer, and Bill. What we created
together was bigger than any one of us, and I’ll always be grateful for
that." -Tony  ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |
