Mr. Luna!!!
sadly, the only downer was missing Iron Maiden... and a few of the other acts. :Spin: Maiden would have been brilliant!
However, in light of recent events, I can't help but say I'm glad It passed us and I didn't get tickets in time. To think my money would have went to Sharon after getting people to egg, spit and throw objects at the mighty Iron Maiden makes my skin crawl and saddens me.... especially other bands on the bill joining in; which I have lost respect for.
I'd actually like to hear your thoughts on all of this mess, being that you are also a true blue Maiden-ite.
the good news is - Mr. Toast is making attempts at brining some excellent metal bands to Utah!

Well, Mr Toast is frankly one of the lynchpins of the Utah scene. His tireless dedication to it never ceases to amaze and impress.
In the light of the events of the Sharonfest show on the 20th in California, I was saddened and disappointed. First up, I will say that yes, Bruce Dickinson is a bit of a motormouth, and it's easy to see how his alleged statements can be taken out of context, but even if he did say everything he allegedly did, that does not in any way justify the unprofessional, childish and downright fucking dangerous antics that took place during Maiden's set - especially in this post-Dimebag world (the same goes for anyone making goddamn death threats against anyone, Sharon included).
I've seen some of the other bands' responses to what happened, not least by Otep and Bury Your Dead, both of whom deny any involvement (although the similarities in their statements end there, and BYD are the only ones seemingly deserving of any kudos). It will be revealed exactly who did what, I hope, and then this whole sorry affair can be laid to rest. At least it seems that Ozzy himself, and the other members of Black Sabbath, had nothing to do with it. Sharon and Kelly, on the other hand...
I've had Maiden blasting in my car all day, though. That should say a lot right there.
And anyone saying Maiden disrespected America (I'm looking at you, Zakk Wylde) needs to have a good long look at exactly what's been said. Maiden don't care for corporate America, the America that gives the best seats in the house to so-called VIPs who have little to no interest in the artists while the fans get relegated too far back to see clearly. That is the America Maiden don't care for. But everyday America, home to the fans who gave Maiden their greatest successes? Maiden have nothing but good to say about that America. Good on them, I say.
Up the Irons!

I just heard the MP3s of Bruce's two in-show rants and Sharon's little post-Maiden speech. Suffice to say, I'd like to buy Mr Dickinson a drink, and Mrs Osbourne will never see another dime from me.
Remember, Maiden's 'Death On The Road' DVD & live album is just around the corner, if anyone's interested! [/plug]

LMFAO!!!!
absolutly brilliant!!! BTW... those background posters are an added plus, true metal all the way!
on another note - suffice to say, I've been getting pleanty of flak since being in agreement about Bruce's opinions on the "typical american music consumer" that came up a few weeks ago. what he has said has been true, and I feel many americans that have taken offense to his coments, are the ones that fall into that category. it's that old saying "the truth hurts". It's funny though, with all the accusations of Bruce saying things that are anti-american, or bashing ozzy on stage; I have yet to hear/read anything concrete to support this directly. So far, it's all been heresy from Sharon, and a few people "behind the scenes".... not one fan who has attend a show has word-for-word mentioned any of this, or has there been a taped copy of it as actual evidence - and becasue of this I feel that Sharon is just bitter because she knows Iron Maiden is still relevent and strong and was steeling HER show, where Ozzy has been made into a three-ring cirus event, and can't be taken seriously anymore, not thanks to her. a shame really, she created him... and she'll also be his downfall.
IT"S TIME FOR MAIDEN FEST 2006!!!!
and I'll this about Zakk and his standpoint - He is a brilliant guitarist and a good songwritter and I'll respect that about him... but that's all he has going for him. Outside of that - he'd be digging ditches in South NJ right now if it wasn't for that lucky break. he's a typical wanna-be redneck tough-ass who 's out to flex his muscles and bully about... I'll put it in laymens terms: he's an pushy ignorant asshole. I've never liked him to much on a personal level for a very long time due to many of his uneducated, bigot-oriented viewpoints.
