ok im done now

Mai is englis aalsoo verri baad.

Oh, The osbournes is a metal band now. I didn't know that.

Which was first, Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden? Which has had a bigger influence in metal music? Sabbath. Which band is probably more overrated than Metallica? Iron Maiden. And I know that it was that asshole Dickinson started this and the other members of the band weren't involved. What can they do if they have a singer like that. You must be out of your mind if you say that Maiden is better than Ozzy. It's a matter of opinion, but still. And I hate people like you too and I'd like to kick your ass, but let's leave it there.

About Steve Harris speaking for the band (and letting down Bruce)
Don't believe anything you read. It might be half the story, or even a lie.

And it's Sharon speaking.

Sidenote: Ozzy doesn't speak too much about it, does he!?? It would probably influence the record seales

That really sucks for the drummer and bassist.....here's a follow up comment from the Iron Maiden camp...

STATEMENT FROM IRON MAIDEN:

Maiden are currently returning from America and preparing for UK festivals this weekend and don't wish to waste time giving Sharon Osbourne's statement the dignity of a reply. Considering the disgraceful nature of the events that occurred they feel it's a pretty dismal effort at self justification and they don't think Metal fans are at all gullible and that they will easily see through it. They want no more to do with this sorry incident and are very much looking forward to headlining Reading and Leeds Festivals this weekend.

I would however like to add my own comment on this.

In 30 years in this business and after attending hundreds of gigs l have never seen anything anywhere near as disgusting and unprofessional as what went on that night. I was standing on our sound desk out front as usual but ran to the stage as soon as the hail of missiles began and from then on watched from the front of the stage right next to Bruce's walkway. The scale, viciousness and concentration of the throwing made it obvious that this was a premeditated and co-ordinated attack. Assaulting musicians while performing by throwing bottle tops, lighters and eggs at them from just a few yards away is vile, dangerous, criminal and cowardly. It is incredible that Ozzfest security apparently did nothing about it - aren't they there to protect the bands too? Especially when the band is concentrating on a performance in front of 45,000 people and the missiles are coming out of the glare of the spotlights. And to spit at a band on stage is unforgivable.

Iron Maiden, like all the bands on Ozzfest, had to sign quite onerous legal documents part of which was promising not to throw anything into the audience, even wristbands!!! Ironic isn't it.

It is well documented on the web who was responsible for planning and participating in this attack and for musicians to join in this assault on other musicians is a shocking disgrace akin to treachery. You should all be thoroughly ashamed of yourselves.

We know who authorised the making of the 'ozzy - ozzy' chant tape the day before and how it was played secretly through the PA at the very beginning and end of our set.

We also know who continually turned off the power interrupting our set at crucial moments. It is a good thing that the power was turned back on before there was a riot as you could sense on stage a lot of the huge audience were getting totally pissed off at this continual onslaught on the band.

The great majority of the Ozzfest crew throughout the tour were terrific and we thank them. Those who participated or stood idly by and watched as this all went down should also be ashamed of themselves and l would certainly hope they never come near a tour with which we are involved.

There is little point in my commenting on the chap with the flag or their trying to hold up Eddie or Sharon's speech as the audience made their feelings very clear on each occasion.

And in the end what was all this about?? If l had any sort of problem or misunderstanding with a band working on a tour we were involved in l would go and talk to them or their manager - not wait until the end of a tour and assault and ambush them. Or was that really it?

I find it staggering that this ambush would take place in front of any audience, let alone in San Bernardino, the biggest audience of the tour. Didn't that audience merit any consideration? They pay an awful lot to be there in terms of prices for tickets, parking, food, beer etc. Surely if they spend this sort of money they deserve to watch the bands they paid to see be able to put in a full unhindered performance. Free of danger and intimidation. If I had paid I would ask for my money back!

And this audience really were outstanding, giving the band incredible support and many voting with their feet in disgust after the set and the speech, which to many was the final insult.

I have to say l was immensely proud of Maiden who stood up to it all and showed great courage and just got better and better through the adversity. Their heads never dropped, instead they went on the offensive. It was a truly memorable moment when Bruce went to the very front of the stage during Trooper - something which he never normally does as he is usually on the ramps - waving the flag whilst avoiding the hail of missiles and yelling 'This is a fucking British flag, and these colours don't fucking run!'. The imperturbable attitude and ability of the band shone through and in the end made this a truly remarkable rock and roll event, even if for all the wrong reasons.

We will have no more to say on this matter except that l do think the band deserve an apology from a number of people, and you know who you are.

"Fuck you, don't bash Ozzy. Ozzy is a legend. Iron Maiden and Bruce Dickinson are just lame retards. Done the same shit for ages. If you go to OZZfest and talk shit about Ozzy and the Osbournes, you deserve to be kicked out. Bruce Dickinson sucks."

yea who is the retard one now look at ozzy. he is a fried fucked up finger puppet of sharon. bruce dickinson is way better than ozzy could've ever been. Iron maiden can blow ozzy away. the only good thing ozzy had going was rhoads but he wasnt even that great.anyway ozzfest sux it is full of lame metalcore bands and their reatrded fans. You gotta be retarded to throw eggs at a band. if you dont like a band then go away. dont be a jackass and ruin it for everyone else. throwing stuff at people is for 3 year olds.

metalcore= shitty american rip off of what bands from northern Europe have been doing since like 10 years ago. everything metalcore sux and is just a shitty version of black/death metal. the only good things americans are good at is thrash. everything else sux the donkey dick.

Well, I just got back from Ozzfest and all I can say is that other than the Swedish bands (AE, IF, SWork), BLS, Shadows Fall, and Rob Zombie, it pretty much sucked ass! A lot of people were chanting "Maiden" and "Sharon sucks"!Even Black Sabbath wasn't at their best! They usually throw down and kick some ass but Ozzy himself had a throat infection and couldn't finish an entire song! He kept asking for audience paticipation to help him finish the songs!! The only highlights for me was meeting and having my merch signed by Arch Enemy, Soilwork, In Flames and Shadows Fall, and I got to shake Zakk Wyldes hand! It really didn't help that it was a blistering 105 degrees Farenheit and that I burned to a bloody crisp! Overall it was mediocre!

 

[Noble Viking]

^ That's why you should've went to Gigantour Did you hear that Dream Theater covered the Pantera song "Cemetary Gates" as a special tribute to Dimebag in Dallas? DT had the singer from Fear Factory, and Russel Allen from Symphony X sing different parts of the song, and then Dave Mustaine busts out of no where and plays the solo!!!!

Anyway, sorry bout' the off topic...take a look at this..

Ozzy is trying to find someone who will write another record for him so he can milk the Ca$h Cow and take all the credit!

 

[Enemy242]

^ That's why you should've went to Gigantour

imo, gigantour really wasn't as good as it should've been. sure megadeth, dream theater, fear factory, nevermore and symphony x are good, but the dillenger escape plan, bobaflex, life of agony etc really sucked more than a lot of the other ozzfest bands. also at gigantour no one really got a long set except for megadeth and dreamtheater. and the merch was just as expensive as ozzfest and that whole platinum package thing is fucking bullshit. talk about milking the cash cow, you pay 250 dollars

She admits the orchestrated egging of Iron Maiden in the next issue of Krang!
Here's a preview of the interview w/Sharon concerning the incident...

SHARON OSBOURNE Says She Orchestrated Egg-Throwing: My Daughter And I 'Had A Blast' - Aug. 30, 2005

Sharon Osbourne spoke exclusively to Kerrang! magazine (web site) last week regading IRON MAIDEN's final performance on this year's Ozzfest tour, during which she cut MAIDEN's power and arranged to have the band pelted with eggs and debris from the crowd. A couple of excerpts from the interview follow:

Kerrang!: Reading between the lines of [IRON MAIDEN manager] Rod Smallwood's statement, the unspoken suggestion is that you orchestrated this whole thing...

Sharon Osbourne: "Of course I did. I had the PA turned on and off. And look it's not hard for someone to walk into a diehard Ozzfest crowd and say, 'Who wants to throw an egg at a rock star?' Who wouldn't wanna do that? I went out and bought 50 eggs and me and my daughter had a fucking blast. C'mon, it's rock 'n' roll. No-one died. They'll be waiting a long fucking time for an apology from me."

Kerrang!: The most astonishing thing about all this is that the metal world has always had such camaraderie, such a "one for all, all for one" attitude...

Sharon Osbourne: "It has, right? But for some reason Bruce Dickinson [IRON MAIDEN singer] seemed to view it as a battle of the bands. He'd stand up on that stage and say that this wasn't the Ozzfest anymore, it was MAIDEN-fest. How fucking disrespectful is that? He's got such an '80s mentality. He's up there saying, 'Fuck MTV and fuck radio and you wouldn't catch IRON MAIDEN doing a reality show' and it's like, 'Hang on, you're a shareholder in Sanctuary, which is one of the biggest corporations in the music business.' He's never said a word about SABBATH either, only Ozzy, so it's personal. We've had 220 bands play this tour over the last 10 years and I've never felt the need to egg anyone."

Kerrang!: Up to this point you’re being painted as the "Wicked Witch" here, Sharon...

Sharon Osbourne: "I'm as nice as can be to people until they fuck with me and my family. I've always said that. I'm surprised that after everything that's been reported about how protective I am of my husband that anyone would even be shocked by this."

Kerrang!: Saying things like this could make this run and run...

Sharon Osbourne: "Not for me. We have Ozzfest shows to do so I'm not thinking about this anymore. Bruce Dickhead doesn't exist to me anymore."

Sharon Osbourne's entire interview with Kerrang! can be found in the magazine's latest issue, out on the stands tomorrow (August 31).

(Thanks: Kerrang!)
