nafnikufesin said:Possible scenarios why the band denies it:
1) It isn't true. Best of all possible worlds. Let's keep hoping.
2) Some sort of muzzle-clause in the contract. If so, it's a bad move, as the silence and/or denials aggravates the fans, and causes us to fight with each other (see the three dozen threads) or mistrust the band, and it leaves no surprise when it finally does get announced because it's already been spread all over the net.
3) It's not true AND there's some sort of muzzle-clause in the contract offered by Sharon Osbourne in order to mislead Joey fans into buying tickets for Ozzfest before they realize what's going on, after Sharon started the rumors to Blabbermouth in the first place to get hype started. Convoluted, manipulative, and stupid, but hey, that's Sharon.
4) The band, and its management and label doesn't care to keep us in the loop.
