Oh my friggin' god!

[Hanso]

Oh and I think Bruce can be a right twat with things he says on stage and should keep some of his opinions to himself and if the ozzy crew just threw eggs at him then fine(sharon stated the rest of the band were great blokes so why throw shit at them?),that's fair payback but feckin with maiden's sound just isn't on!

Absoloutely love what I read about Bruce's actions during the tropper. Instead of staying up on the ramps he ran to the front of the stage as the egss began to fly and yelled "This is a fucking British flag, and these colours don't fucking run!"
Classic stuff!!

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I'd kill to get a video of the show!

 

[Winmar]

Can you chuck a copy my way, Phlog?

 

[Spiff]

I'll have one as well thanks, Phloggy m'lad.

 

[Spiff]

These were Steve's original lyrics for loneliness of the long distance runner before Bruce pointed out just how silly they were.

But they kept the lyrics in "Dance of Death"?

I used to have a theory that the songs that weren't performed live over the years were left out because Bruce was too embarrassed to sing the lyrics. This theory gained momentum when I heard that Bruce would wear a mask while singing "Dance of Death". A mask hides one's shame.

 

[Crabby]

I'd love to know which bands got involved and which ones told the Osbourne entourage to go and get fucked. And fuck Bury Your Dead for getting involved, they were shitty live and now this.....

 

[Winmar]

It's a great way for Bury Your Dead to lose thousands of potential fans. Nice move, boys.

 

[Sydo]

yeah, I was gonna say something. What thread is this?
fuck

 

[Goreripper]

These were Steve's original lyrics for loneliness of the long distance runner before Bruce pointed out just how silly they were.

What do i win ???

Glory.

 

[Los4words]

Phloggy,

Did you say there is a torrent for the show.. ?

If so can you PM me the details ?

I am hanging to hear it - I hope the quality is better then the MP3's... couldnt understand what Bruce was saying a few times..

cheers.

 

[phlogiston]

Alrighty, everyone who wants a copy PM me their address, and also include what you're going to send me in return (Southy, you're exempt from this, just need your address again.) Also keep in mind that I'm pretty unreliable at the moment.

Los4, yeah the torrent link was posted earlier in this thread by Todd. It'll take you to a site where you have to log in, but there's nothing on the site where they're going to come and kick your door down. The quality isn't too bad. They're flac files, and it was obviously recorded from the crowd so sometimes things get drowned out by screaming and clapping, but you can hear everything.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

There's also now video floating around... can't comment on the quality cause I haven't seen it myself. When I get home I'll try to download it and let you all know

 

[phlogiston]

OOH! LINKS! WE WANT LINKS! At least I do.

 

[Sydo]

Now I remember.. Bury Your Dead have denied involvment. They apparently told Kelly Osbourne (who has also denied any involvment) to fuck off.

I'm beginning to think it never happened and that Ozzfest, Iron Maiden, the Osbourne family, heavy metal, music in general and The United States Or America do not even exist. It's all a big fucking lie. Everything is just fucked, even you.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I saw it on the Portnoy forum.... I'll have a looksee wherever they're still up (apparently it's slow as mollasis because everyone is downloading it)

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Here ya all go... this is the post I saw on mp.com. It seems like everyone is trying to distance themselves from this now... I see a massive clusterfuck coming up and it won't surprise me if this is splashed all across MTV about how "offensive" Maiden were and how the "fans" fought back

-----------

Anyway here are the files as they originally appeared on www.bariswheel.net before it was taken down due to large traffic flow- be warned they take a while to download and the quality is not top notch as was filmed from a long way from stage - but will have to make do for now until something better is released...

Thanks Toddles.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Now this is cool... found a pic of the band Trivium who are playing on Ozzfest. This pic was taken at the show after the egging incident (hoping the link works)

EDIT: Picture link didn't work, here's the page

 

[Spiff]

Story was on the front page of CNN.com!

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Music/08/24/music.ozzfest.reut/index.html

And Blabbermouth has a story where Zakk talks in depth about the whole thing:

"Although I'm a huge fan of the IRON MAIDEN band and their music, I have a problem with Bruce Dickinson talking shit about America and more personally, about the Godfather of my first-born son."

[TinMan666]

They made this arvos MX paper too

this is the best internet drama EVER! It's a crack up watching all these bands making a statement, copping a roasting from the fans, and then trying to cover to their arses again.

Especially that Otep chick.
