What's your take on "Back To The Beginning?"

Every band sounded great, except Alcohollica. Lard has no right to be a professional drummer.
I hope we will find out of Ozzy and Jake made amends.
A lot of bands I don't care for sounded great.
Tool was interesting.
Slash was fantastic.
Axel possibly had in ear monitoring issues?
I honestly give big credit to Guns N Metallica for covering songs from Never Say Die and technical Ecstasy.
I missed half of Sammy Hagar because i was watching poor fag editions on taco-flavored streams, so take what I say with a grain of salt.....
Bill Ward forgot some of the arrangements. Especially in the first song Sabbath did.
Ozzy sounded great for Ozzy, and considering his health. No he was not using "backing tracks"
He's always used a harmonizer.
I'm not big on Pantera, but they crushed it.
What did you cock smokers think?

Most bands were good or at least serviceable. Felt like GNR was actually the low point, Axel's voice was really fucked. Black Sabbath kind of blew everyone away at the end against people's expectations, one of the best acts of the event. Steven Tyler also fucking killed it.

>>126941466
ok i get you...i gues I was just kinda blown away because I've never seen anyone play those awesome wah wah-y/slide-y guitar leads live from Never Say Die!, so I was blown away by what Slash did. Axel had to of had monitoring issues.
I mean, even ozzy was rushing like Axel was for the first song. it's so difficult to get good mixes for big shows like this.

>>126941438 (OP)
what was with the pantera mix? all I could hear is zakk wylde playing like shit

Anywhere to see it again in good quality?

>>126941559
they were doing a good job of stomping the streams all day. no torrents yet that I've seen

>>126941537
That actually explains a lot with Axel but man, it really did detract from what Slash was doing. During the performance people were just constantly cracking Mickey Mouse jokes in both the streams and discussion threads. Damn shame if it was a technical fault.

>>126941615
Oof im just catching random fee ones on youtube getting downed too, they all pretty much sounded great

>>126941629
Well, TBF, the Mickey Mouse thing would have happened ever if Axel didn't have any in ear monitoring issues. Axel, like most singers above their 50's, can't sing as high pitched as they could when they were ages15-29. Axel has to sing in falsetto to achieve what he did, but also what Ozzy did in their respective 20's.
It was the timing of Axel's vocals that I had more of a problem with. He was like.....2 or 3 quarter notes early for most of the versus'. But, TBF, Ozzy was too, at least in the first BS song.

>>126941438 (OP)
Hand of doom cover by Tool was great

This was, by far, the biggest event in rock music in recent history.

Apparently some second-tier 90's band did a reunion show this weekend as well. Too bad they got overshadowed by this.

>>126941438 (OP)
Me and my dad absolutely lost our fucking shit like we were watching a football game when Zakk Wilde showed up on stage with Ozzy. We knew we were in for a great fucking time

>>126941797
Totally Agreed.
The closest thing that has ever happened to "back to the beginning" was maybe Taylor Hawkins tribute concert. Except "back to the beginning" had headliners I actually liked.

>>126941887
Dude....be glad that you can share moments like that with your dad. I shared many "Jazz" moments with my dad....and that was great, but I wish he could have loved Sabbath with me like you and your dad did. I really hope you count your blessings.

We're going to get so many copycats
Bands having a supposed final concert in their hometown with a mini-festival of artists before them. Some of which might retire for good, some will be back on the road in a few years
This is going to be the new farewell tour

>>126941931
My dad is your dad now and he loves you.

>>126941940
yeah but it won't matter because most band that copy this shit are NPC's

>>126941887
damn, that hit feels I didn't know I had anymore. Hope my old man is happy where ever he is now

>>126942004
you don't know where your dad is?

>>126942019
haven't seen the man in 10 years, he doesn't have social media or anything. We moved country together when I was a teen and then I moved back, he's been there by himself ever since.

>retirement show
sharon made so many shekels shes already scheming to trot this gimp out one "final" time

>>126941940
the difference is that Ozzy can't walk so people legit know this is the last show. It won't work with other bands if the members are all somewhat healthy.

>>126941438 (OP)
I give the event an overall B-, if I had to grade it. Most bands did very well and a few didn’t. It was bound to happen. Sabbath smoked everyone off the stage and Ozzy sounded a million times better than I expected, that legitimately shocked me. Here’s the link to the full Sabbath set.

https://youtu.be/7DKkHM5GtkU?si=Z8gvHILRpvnHbyrf

>>126942075
all proceeds went to charity and Sharon kicked off a band because they wanted to be paid when all acts are volunteering their time.

>>126942258
And what band would that be?

>>126942326
volbeat

>>126942326
I don't know. She said she was going to reveal who they were after the show and they were a big act apparently. Not sure if she said who yet or not.

>>126942352
it was slipknot

>>126942431
Crazy, if true.

>>126942035
Got his contact details? Give him a call, and reconnect. Good for both of you.

>>126942250
Did any of the bands play any Dio-era songs?

>>126941559
Apparently the archived version will be available in the next 48 hours, just great...

>>126942877
No, sharon would've never allowed that sadly.

>>126942960
Oh, SHE was involved? Great...

>>126941940
It won't happen on this scale. Bands like Metallica, Guns N Roses, Tool, and Slayer don't open for just anyone.

>>126941906
The 12/12/12 Concert for Sandy Relief is the only bigger one I can think of since Live Aid

Eric Clapton
Bruce Springsteen
Roger Waters
Rolling Stones
Billy Joel
The Who
Bon Jovi
Chris Martin
Paul McCartney

>>126942258
I give Sharon a lot of shit, but I don’t blame her for that one.

>>126942258
What was the charity for this show?

>>126942590
nah, no idea of his phone number or if he has a phone. Poor bastard was always a paycheck away form being homeless.

also, he got me into sabbath as a kid, he gave me his old black sabbath tv shirt and taught me to play children of the grave on guitar. Would have loved to have watched it with him

>>126943179
Parkinsons and a few children's charities.

>>126942258
>all proceeds went to charity and Sharon kicked off a band because they wanted to be paid when all acts are volunteering their time.
Exactly what charity. Kars for KIds ?

>>126943232
Class acts, the lot of them, these metal guys.

Unlike the Gallagher brothers. Openly laughing at their fans who got raped by TM. And the only reason they can tolerate being on stage together for a few weeks is because they'll make 50mil a piece.

zoomettes in the crowd going wild

>>126943291
HOLY SHIT AMAZING

Ozzy shouted to Geezer to help him stand up but Geezer acted like he didn't hear him. He was scared of Sharon. It was sad. They wanted to do another song but the crowd didn't chant for it.

>>126943291
They said Bill ward couldn't play any more. but he stuck it up Sharon's ass didn't he.

>>126943634
Yeah geezer would have totally heard him while fire works were going off and thousands of people were cheering. I cant believe geezer would pretend not to hear him like that for fear of sharon. They totally wanted to do like 10 more songs, so true sister

>>126943179
Israel, as always

>>126942258
>>126943634
>ITT: random Anons regurgitating lies I told as a joke 15 hours ago while other retarded Anons believe it
My favorite part were the cameos from non-metal celebs.

>>126943268
you expect the gallaghers to do a full fledged tour for free? That's different than a one-off show.

>>126943642
yeah he's fucking great. He lost so much weight and seemed so locked in to making it work, dude is a real inspiration to me

>>126943642
Yes he did. Bill Ward is a GOAT. He did A LL THE Albums and tours before Sharon came on the scene

>>126943291
This show only makes me wish Ward was touring during the 13 tour when I seen them back in 2013. Great show but man did I miss Bill on those drums.

>>126943210
Not many will tell you but you are based to get away from a parent that could ruin you.

>>126941797
Scorpions' 60th anniversary show was happening at the same time as this

>>126944404
yeah seeing him and his mate smoking meth in the living room was my last straw, wasn't easy leaving and trying my own path at 17 but I hope he is ok

>>126941438 (OP)
Original line up Black Sabbath is my favourite band, but I wasn't going to bother finding live streams and was going to wait until decent quality torrents appear of Sabbath's performance just to see how they held up. Generally, I'd rather watch live shows of the rest of the old bands when they were in their prime. I ended up watching most of it live, and was impressed. I haven't become a fan of the bands I'd never heard before, and the sound wasn't great at times, probably because of the quick turnaround between performers. Sabbath, Ozzy solo, and Slayer were the best of what I saw, but I still enjoyed the rest.

>>126943634
>Ozzy shouted to Geezer
It looked like a Sharrrron! to me. Tony was still making guitar noises, so it looked like they wanted to do more, but Geezer had already taken his bass off, and the local council perhaps had a strict curfew anyway.

>>126941438 (OP)
the most kino moment was when the crowd started singing the solo on war pigs
chills

They really should have played black sabbath. I know know normies love paranoid but it was such a lame song to end on and doesn’t represent the band at all. They should have ended with black sabbath and then encored with paranoid

>>126945292
Yeah I don't get it either, all this back to where it all started mantra, they should have ended with the one song that actually started it all.

>>126941438 (OP)
did Jake E Lee play, or just attend? Did Sharon at least pay for a free ticket for him?

>>126945292
They played the church bell and thunder, but went into war pigs. Seemed odd.

>>126945369
Yeah I was hyped as fuck but I love war pigs so whatever and it was kind of cool to hear the siren with the rain

I'm not a mental head, just think it's cool this event actually gave Brummie some civic pride, considering all the bad PR. And, it was super cool to meet people from all over the world dropping by!

Question, why are you guys treating Sharon, like Beatle fans treat Yoko?
Am I missing some beef here?

>>126945360
Jake’s played on Ultimate Sin and I believe another song, but not Bark at The Moon, which is fucking absurd to me…

Ive liked watching this but I feel like some bands are out of practice and just went in with this cocky arrogance of itll be fine.

>>126941438 (OP)
For Heavy Metal, that was the greatest tribute/send off concert ever assembled. Sharon actually pulled it off, being the cunt that she is. I highly doubt we something like that ever again. Sabbath lives on forever!

>>126945399
>Question, why are you guys treating Sharon, like Beatle fans treat Yoko?
She's Jewish

>>126945446
She has done a lot of under hand business things such as denying song writing royalties to the musicians who wrote all of ozzys solo albums for one, her feud with iron maiden for another. Not to mention her pro Zionism shit is pretty stupid, the only reason why the fucking guy from disturbed was there

>>126945399
she's a notorious cunt who has ripped off nearly ever musician Ozzy has worked with

>>126945450
Having looked she is half Jewish from her father but apprently he was a maniac and she estranged from him.
>Osbourne revealed she was surrounded by violence during her childhood and that it was a normal occurrence to see her father threatening someone, or brandishing a firearm
>Arden resented his daughter for dating Ozzy and managing his career.[15] In her memoir, Osbourne relates that he had robbed her, once tried to kill her, and once told Ozzy that she had tried to seduce him, to turn Ozzy against her.[11] She soon lost contact with her father and did not speak to him for 20 years.[16] In an interview in 2001, she commented that her father has never seen her children and that "he never will".[3] Osbourne had told her children that their grandfather was dead but they unknowingly saw him for the first time when Osbourne was shouting abuse at him on a street in Los Angeles.[17] When asked who she was shouting at, she replied Tony Curtis.[11] They were reunited in 2001 and he then had a role in their reality show, The Osbournes.[16] In August 2004, Osbourne stated her father had Alzheimer's disease and she paid for his care in the last years of his life

She cant be a total bitch helping her evil dad like that.

it was good, but the best part was fight to keep bootleg stream alive

>My feeling when K. K. was destroying that solo at the end of Snowblind

>>126945503
between him and Corgan's shitty vocals they butchered the whole song

The threads last night about it were kino. Many lels were had.
>>126943232
I hope the profits actually go to that now though.
>>126945350
THIS
The best part about any of this was that no one was allowed to slaughter Solitude though.

>>126945477
>her father
He was a notorious cunt as well, basically a gangster.
>They were reunited in 2001
>and he then had a role in their reality show
That should tell you everything you need to know. It's all about money, at anyone else's expense, even their own family.

>>126945477
Doesn’t matter how you were raised. Never underestimate the power of money, my nigga. Also, never post something that long again. Makes you look like a massive faggot.

>>126945546
The music industry has always been kind of fucked in the head.

>>126945536
Maybe, but that solo kicked ass. Sorry you’re a massive faggot.

>>126945563
Ok, that's based.

>>126945610
Agreed. For as much faggot ass bullshit movies he’s in these days, at least he gets in the pit.

Anyone got a bit of blues today after that?
Knowing Sabbath will never play again, but also the realisation of how old the rest of the bands now are

>>126945681
Cycle of life. Chin up.

>>126945681
I feel you. Gotta see these guys when we can. I realized the other day that Bobby Blitz and Chuck Billy are both 63. Where the fuck did the time go. Holy fucking shit. Get it in while you can.

I thought the Sabbath performance was mid and that with so many props most likely boosting their sound so they wouldn't look washed up.
They also put on the most bombastic special and lighting effects for them, because that was supposed to be the highlight of the show.

But in terms of performance, I think Metallica's was the best. I don't care that they missed a few notes, that autistic bullshit doesn't matter. They were energetic, they nailed 90% of the songs, with a few hiccups here and there, but they played difficult songs, unlike Sabbath's songs that are very slow and structured around simple but memorable riffs.

Axl's performance was so cringe I turned that shit down, couldn't bear hearing it.
Haven't seen Tyler's yet, but will seek it.
Slayer was also very on point, but their music is kinda soulless.
The rest were meh.

does anyone know if there were any recordings that included the stream's chat? i want to reread the time guns n roses come on stage

>>126945681
yeah dude im super depressed
i also dont mind admitting I cried during Ozzy's set.
It wouldn't be so bad if there was a whole slew of kids making great rock and metal, but there just isn't.

Even if you disregard all their output that's not hard rock/metal you still end up with
>Petrodragonic Apocalypse
>Infest the Rats Nest
>Murder of the Universe
>Nonagon Infinity
Some of the best albums of the last 10 years. And they put on a massive live show.

>>126945979

So how soon after this is Ozzy dying? I wouldn't be surprised if in like 6 months we'll get news about him passing from assisted suicide or something.

>>126946813
Depends whether Sharon will let him die

>>126946914
If he was planning on dying he would have done it on stage

>>126945450
OK, other that that.

>>126945458
>Denying royalties

Damn, isn't that illegal? There's clearly more I need to deep dive into.

I really want them to make that album now

>>126945477
Despite wearing crosses for decades, and claiming to be a member of the Church of England, she recently stated "Judaism is the only religion I have, and the only one with which I feel comfortable." This was always obvious to anyone observing her business practices.

>>126946308
>Met's cover of Johnny Blade was the highlight of their set.
Ok that's based, I didn't watch their set but will now

>>126945681
I was very emotional during Ozzy's set, then once Black Sabbath came on I was fine.

Especially during Mama I'm Comin' Home. My mom died a few years back and she loved Ozzy.

At the end of it, I just wanted more. But I understand he's old as shit and in poor health. An encore of the song Black Sabbath would've been the perfect way to end it.

-write your magnum opus
-this bitch scams you out of the money you deserve.
-complain, get fired.
-40 years later get offer to perform, hopefully get recognition for your music.
- get an out of tune guitar and your sound drowned in the mix while a baby killer interrupts your intro.

This bitch is evil.

shouldve played the straightener its the perfect weather for it

>>126941438 (OP)
>Bill Ward forgot some of the arrangements. Especially in the first song Sabbath did.
I can't blame that on his age and health, he probably would have done that in the 70s too because he'd have been sloshed as hell onstage.

too bad Eddie Van Halen is no longer in his earthly body because i'm sure he would have enjoyed playing this thing

>>126941438 (OP)
I legitimately started crying when they played Mama I'm Coming Home
I got overwhelmed with emotion thinking about how big an influence Ozzy has actually been on my life

>>126945415
Honestly as much as I love Jake, he wasn't on his A game last night. You could say that its because his guitar went out of tune out of the gate but as a guitar player I could tell he struggled to get his arpeggio runs out, and that's an age thing not a sabotage thing. He would've shit all over bark at the moon (more than that fag Tobias did). Bringing in Nuno as the lead for most of the Supergroup ensemble was a genius decision by Cuckrello.

>>126945360
Ultimate Sin and Shot in the Dark. Ironic, cause his performance got shot in the daylight and not in the dark.

>>126941438 (OP)
>Lard has no right to be a professional drummer.
He was 10000% better than Bill

>>126945681
All my favorite bands are long gone
Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Allman Brothers Band, etc.
Rolling Stones is still alive but they're in their 80s now, it's not the same

>>126947946
well come the fuck on, Bill is 15 years older than Lars and there were many years when he was nearly inactive as a musician instead of having been touring, performing, and playing pretty much continually since the early 80s.

>>126947694>>126947847
Same, I lost my brother to Leukemia a couple of years ago and his favorite band was Sabbath/Ozzy. I know he would've cried with me when that Mama I'm Coming Home solo started melting everyone. For some reason I was just fine for Sabbath too, maybe they set it up that way, like, get it all out during Ozzy so you can pump your fist during Sabbath. Either way, great choice of songs.

>>126947950
Thanks /r/music.

>>126947824
Sammy was there, and his son was invited but he declined to open for fucking Creed of all things lmao. Wolfie, if you're reading this, this is why you'll never make it on your own, because your retard decisions hold your band back. Imagine turning down the single best show in the last like 20 years to open for fucking Creed... baka

We Sold Our Souls For Rock 'n' Roll! [Warner Bros., 1976]
By focusing on songs (ten of seventeen cuts are taken from the first three albums) and by omitting such pro-tempo-formula-virtuoso moves as "Rat Salad", this collection makes for a fitting mock-nostalgia document. Also guess what? Four cuts hail from the band's fourth lp, cleverly titled Black Sabbath Vol. 4, which I never got around to putting on back in 1972. And you know what? I've still never heard anything on it. C+

>>126945399
>why are you guys treating Sharon, like Beatle fans treat Yoko?
Because she's actually worse then yoko and much greedier

He means "none of the songs registered with me at all and may as well have been white noise."

>>126948038
These always crack me up, I've never taken these one paragraph reviews seriously since I saw Spinal Tap. Whenever I see one of these I just think of "Shit Sandwich" and chuckle like a retard

I'm surprised I can't find a torrent or anything. I guess it's kind of different crowd

>>126948091
I see. Thank you. It would have been better to just say that.

>>126947727
Jake almost got shot to death the other year or something too iirc. Like wtf was up with that?
The music industry is kinda messed up ngl.

Sabbath never paid any attention to reviews after the debut album was slammed all over the music press.

>>126945399
>why are you guys treating Sharon, like Beatle fans treat Yoko?
>Am I missing some beef here?
She's also the reason Bill Ward was not included in the last tour Sabbath did. She wouldn't pay him a fair cut of the proceeds. Just a greedy Shit is what she is.

I really hope they do. As much as I enjoyed 13, I hope they get Rick Rubin away from it.

>>126941438 (OP)
Very glad Bill Ward could join them back for one last show. I wanted to watch it livestreamed as soon as it was announced, and I found out it was already over hours after it had finished. Made me sad. Is there a complete upload anywhere yet?

>>126942258
I hate that this bitch said she'd reveal who she disinvited after the show, trying to make the whole world wait for it. Making it about the spectacle of who Sharon is feuding with on OZZY'S FINAL SHOW

>>126948634
>Is there a complete upload anywhere yet?
if you paid for the stream its available VOD for the next day or two. someone will probably figure out a way to rip it sooner or later but I haven't seen anything yet
there are vids of varying quality on yt but they've been actively taking down the ozzy/sab stuff

>>126948634
>who she disinvited
I might have imagined it but I was pretty sure I saw that the surviving members of soundgarden were going to appear but they never did

>>126945399
She's way worse than Yoko. Constantly beefing with other bands and ripping people off. One example: Back at Ozzfest 2005 she responded to the singer from Iron Maiden dissing Ozzy on-stage (which was admittedly a huge dick move, you're playing at his fucking festival bro) not by kicking them off stage or putting out a professional statement, but by cutting off their power while they were playing and also playing booing audio tracks in the background. Another example was after Bill Ward didn't want to be in the 2012 Black Sabbath reunion, she had him cropped out of old pictures of the band on their website. More recently she said Kneecap should lose their visas for being too anti-Israel.

>>126945477
I definitely felt sympathy for Sharon when I read Ozzy's book and realized just how evil her dad was. I think there was a story about him dangling the member of some band he managed off a balcony (admittedly, maybe I'm mistaking him for Phil Spector on this one). She's at least nicer than him.

>>126945706
>I realized the other day that Bobby Blitz and Chuck Billy are both 63.
What the fuck man

Steven Tyler was a great appearance.
>Back in September 2023, Aerosmith postponed and later canceled their “Peace Out” farewell tour after singer Steven Tyler fractured his larynx. Ultimately, the band ended up announcing in 2024 they were retiring from touring since Tyler was unable to fully recover from the vocal cord injury.
77 years old!

>>126948038
Ozzy please outlive Robert Christgau. He outlived Lester faggot ass Bangs by a mile but he needs to outlive Christgau.

This show brought people out of retirement. Slayer wernt even meant to play again. It was all a great surprise to me as I heard there was the Sabbath gig but didnt think of course itll be an Oz Fest thing.

>>126948781
slayer didn't reform specifically for this. but they did realiz they were dumb for leaving so much money on the table given how lucrative it is to be a nostalgia act right now.

I gotta say the rotating stage thing I noticed a few hours in was really cool. Is that a standard thing for big acts these days or was that new?

>>126948630
Tony Iommi has been shitting on Rubin in every interview these past weeks, hopefully if they do make one final album they'll just release whatever they capture at the rehearsal room and call it a day

>>126941438 (OP)
Sabbath and Ozzy themselves were better than I expected. Steven Tyler made all the other frontmen look ordinary by comparison. It was cool to see Rudy Sarzo & Jake E Lee there. As far as Sabbath covers went, I thought Tool (Hand of Doom) and Pantera (Electric Funeral), and Anthrax (Into the Void) probably had the best efforts. With the exception of Axl's voice, GnR as a backing band were surprisingly tight. Solid drummer. Axl has the same problem Joe Elliot has these days in that his upper register has become completely disconnected from his chest voice, and it sounds terrible.
Metallica were kinda boring. I'd have liked to see them do more Sabbath covers. Did anyone really need to hear MoP, Creeping, and Bells again for the 10,000th time? Should've at least busted out Sabbra Cadabra.
Phil from Pantera seems a lot more withdrawn on stage than he used to be, and the band suffers for it.
Some of the choices of "super-group" members were a bit dodgy.

>>126949107
probably just because there were so many bands with relatively short sets.
only way to change out the gear semi quickly enough so it didn't turn into a 24 hour ordeal

>>126945399
>why are you guys treating Sharon, like Beatle fans treat Yoko?
>Am I missing some beef here?

Anon, how old are you? Are you not aware that she is the daughter of Don Arden, a music mafia baron in england?

>>126949213
>Don Arden, music mafia
oy vey

>>126943210
Couldn't you somehow find him by talking to an embassy or some shit?

>>126945399
>ripped off a bunch of guys who worked with Ozzy
>ripped off the entirety of Sabbath sans Ozzy and made it the Ozzy band when Dio wanted to do a reunion
>just generally awful shit as far as music industry stuff goes

>>126945563
hey, it's the game of thrones rape guy!

>>126945934
the people replying to you are naysayers but while I personally don't know many bands other than my old faves the issue is pretty much always in outreach, nobody will know the "new good bands" as easily as the old days because nobody can assemble a concert from literalwhos and bandcamp isn't a good way to build an audience

>>126942877
Lmao as if Ozzy could ever sing those songs.

>>126949396
Would've been cool if Iommi got to do the Heaven & Hell riff at least, like here.

>>126948535
One of the highlights for sure, they all looked like they were having the time of their lives

>>126949153
>Did anyone really need to hear MoP, Creeping, and Bells again for the 10,000th time?

That's a you problem. I haven't been autistically relistening to those enough to get bored of them. I haven't heard them for at least 10 years.
And they sounded great to me.
By comparison Sabbath sounded like a bore to me and they looked very much propped by some taping wizzardry.
But then I suspect Lars is also being doubled somehow, unless the footage I see is out of sync with the sound.

>>126947993
could be he was under contract and already agreed to open for creed. Also he's been around for a long time now and playing at the Sabbath show wasn't going to magically make him a superstar.

>>126948233
Wait, why? He's core 4, so why didn't he get paid a fair shake? Does she think because the drummer is less important, because they're behind the lead singer?

>>126948682
Wow.
>Cropping pictures out

She's that mad, she's trying to un-person Ward? What a petty tit.

>>126949213
All I knew is that her father managed the group when they came to London and she fell for him. I'm not knee-deep in knowledge surrounding everything about them. I first heard of them at the dawn of the millennium with 'The Osbournes'. I didn't mind watching it, but my mum hated it.

>>126941438 (OP)
I'm just glad Dave Ghrol wasn't there. Jack Black was bad enough.

>>126949503
...for all the reasons listed here, anon. To me the worst was when she denied the rights of the name if Ozzy wasn't in the band. You just know if she could she would take the whole name just for Ozzy.
And there was a time when magazines used to make fun of Ozzy and consider it embarassing that he was engaging in "reality" tv. Not long ago.

>>126948682
she's a psychopath with npd

>>126949503
When Black Sabbath arrived in the US for the first time, they were shocked at the support and sales they already had, because the band members still had no money. After investigating, it was discovered that Sharon's father, Don Arden, had been keeping almost all their earnings.
Unbeknownst to them, Black Sabbath were just goyim working to make Arden rich.

>>126949608
It's so unbelievably petty too because back then was the time for Ronnie's reunion with Sabbath and they were unironically having a great time. They made three new songs, then a studio album, more than one live album as far as I know, before Ronnie died of cancer. But they absolutely couldn't use the Sabbath name going forward, why? Sharon somehow forcing them to not do it or get bent by the law. My dad didn't even know that they had a second reunion after Dehumanizer until I told him a few years ago.

>>126949708
I saw H&H in 2007 and it remains one of the best shows I've ever witnessed.

>>126949708
In one of the most difficult times of my life, I watched Sabbath in 2007 with Dio and it was one of the best concerts of my life. Live eviL was my introduction to heavy metal, but I don't have Heaven and Hell or Mob Rules. So I was introduced to Die Young at that concert and was fucking stoked when I saw them playing motherfucking Children Of The Sea in front of me. Mind you I had seen Sabbath with Ozzy two years earlier with 5 times the size of the crowd and didn't enjoy it as much. As another rocker who was older than me explained in the Dio concert "it's better this way, only those who can appreciate it came, the few and good" and he was right.

>>126949107
they did it for Live Aid back in the 80s

>>126949162
>>126949939
Huh, the japs invented it in the 1600s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolving_stage

>>126947946
completely false. He changed the feel of Bill's drum pattern and ruined that sabbath song. So fucking boring too. he ruined that Rainbow song like five years ago too. He can't do covers because his style is so limited...now a days. Maybe in the 80's it would have been ok.

>>126947950
me too man
RIP John Sykes

>>126947962
bill was still better than Lard, even with bill's confusion about the arrangements in the first song. Lard straight up ruined sabbath's song and his own songs too.

>>126947993
wow, wolfie really fucked up on that one sheesh

>>126948105
you tube has some good quality uploads just in less than 30 minute sets

>>126948341
yeah today's "rock" "bands" are so average i even feel weird saying any of it is listenable. Wolfmother had one good album and then lost it. I like tame impala, but it's almost psychedelic pop with hip hop drums. Not really rock

>>126948670
>surviving members of soundgarden
That's what wikipedia said.

>>126949854
Where are you from broski?

>>126948723
I really hope this performance gave him that itch to finish the Peace Out tour, if his voice allows it.

>>126948806
They also still sound great, so why not give it a few more year of touring. Although their next "retirement" tour will very much be mocked.

>>126949153
Axl sounded extra bad tonight. I heard them last year and while I would say he was far from sounding good, it was at least passable and an enjoyable experience as a GnR fan. This show though? Awful

>>126950714
It's funny to think how bad he was, considering his range was five full octaves when he was at his best.

Even people like Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson can still sometimes hit the highs right. But for some reason, Axl just can't.

>>126947388
Specifically with Jake E Lee, he pro bono'd a lot of writing/playing for Bark at the Moon on the assumption Sharon gave him they'll finalize contracts and stuff before the world tour. At the last second she left it at "either sign on for the band on the pretense that Ozzy keeps ALL your credits, or we get someone to rerecord all your parts." At that pretty much rode out through that tour cycle and Ultimate sin. While this was all Sharon's doing, Ozzy's only opinion on the matter was "it's business, mate"

>>126948189
Some prospective astronauts shot him while he was walking his dog. I think last week he actually posted an update on that specifically that they were caught and the gun in question had ties to a separate murder

>>126951009
is it true jake was buying drugs at the time?

>>126951009
Never forget: Sharon had the original bass and drum tracks by Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake removed and rerecorded by Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin, for the 2002 reissues of Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman.

If Butler and Iommi got a new drummer and singer they could go on tour tomorrow. Both guys were still in great shape.

>>126949562
>Dave Ghrol
>>126949562
>Jack Black
both redtit tier

>>126951270
Both admittedly still play and write music daily, no wonder they carried the whole thing

>>126948105
Some are showing up on search sites now.

>>126951183
oh dont worry anon i wont forget that everr

>>126951270
so why dont they then?

>>126951270
I saw Deadland Ritual at their only US show a few yr ago, which was a supergroup (Geezer, Steve Stevens, Matt Sorum, and a hired gun singer) that did some original stuff, but mostly covers of their respective material. Geezer admitted the reason it fell through was cause they were effectively starting over as a band, and that entry-level of touring was something none of them were willing to do anymore. He's probably still got an album or two in him, but I can't imagine ever seeing touring from him again

https://youtu.be/_5B5r8A9dOw

>>126950757
Oh yeah, I've seen both Judas Priest and Maiden a few times the past decade and they both (especially Rob Halford) still sound great.

>>126951412
Iommi released new music last year.
Ward released new music 3 years ago.
Butler hasn't written/recorded since Black Sabbath - 13, twelve years ago.

>>126951519
tfw no geezer solo material in 20 years

>>126941438 (OP)
It's nice for them and everything but I just don't idolise any of these people anymore.

>>126951593
I think the only way Butler would still be fully committed to the craft is if Dio had've survived, but he'd be 83 in four days.

>>126951412
String players tend to age a lot better then vocalists and percussion, but your spot on about the practice and wirting. I heard somewhere it was at least an hour of practice a day, not including writing and doing this and that. Goes a long way in keeping them sharp. They still played slower in this set, a lot slower, then they usually play these songs. You can hear them try to drag Butler, with Ozzy adjusting as he went; so I suspect Butler really couldn't give anymore on drums they he played that night. But hey, dude's aint gonna live forever you know.

>>126941438 (OP)
watching videos from the event and the official stream makes it very clear they turned Ward's drum mics WAY down.

>>126952524
>Butler really couldn't give anymore on drums
Hard to know, considering he's the bass player.

>>126952524
>Butler really couldn't give anymore on drums
Butler is the bassist, Bill Ward was on drums. But I noticed Tony (guitarist) deliberately standing near Ward so he could keep in time. They're all old, as old as my dad, and I'm old, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to perform at any level at that age. They did good,

>>126941695
I remember back when the GN'R reunion first happened back in 2016, he couldn't sing fully like it was 1988 but he could get pretty damn close. And then when he did the AC/DC gigs and surprised everyone with how good he was. He was like 54 then too. But nothing lasts forever, especially a voice like his. It's sad to see honestly, but at least he's in good shape i guess.

>>126952719
>It's sad to see
It is, but they had one hell of a good time in their prime.

>>126952634
>>126952673
I apologize, been a long day.

>>126952767
never apologize to chuds here. They don't deserve the satisfaction no matter how wrong you are.

>>126952767
There's no need. You were right, a vocalist's voice will naturally go with age, and drumming must be more tiring than moving your fingers.

>>126942326
Hoobastank

>>126952833
aw I didn't think they were all that bad

>>126943634
Brit crowds are so fucking shit lately. Same every gig, everyone piles for the exit the instant there's a hint of the end. Seen two acts recently with zero encores because everyone just fled to get back to Love Island on tv.

>>126946105
Then why did Maynard mock Ozzy's parkinsons?

>>126952874
how so?

>Junior's Eyes gets covered live in front of millions

Junior's Eyes bros...

Would've been better if held in America.

The roads are packed and in a state of disrepair, and the local council will send out death squad goons if they dare go past the curfew.

>>126952890

>>126945563

>>126953002
t. has never seen Tool live before

:)

>>126951009
Some teenagers shot him?

>>126946813
Him dying on Halloween would be kino

>>126951467
Halford has much younger guitarists and a drummer and Ian Hill doesn't have to do much but spam root notes. Glenn had to retire because he's a dying old man who can't play anymore.

>>126952673
>>126952524
it's not just being old but all of them did a shitton of booze and drugs back in the day. you can cut 10 years off your biological age simply by not doing booze and drugs.

>>126953642
in that spirit it's impressive that Halford has held up as well as he did given that he's gay which in of itself is a high risk lifestyle and he also did a lot of substance abuse in the 80s

>>126953677
He's been clean since 1986. Fortunate for him he stopped drinking and using drugs while he was still young enough that his body could recover from it. If you stop at 40+ it's too late and can actually kill you from withdrawal symptoms.

>>126953642
too bad about Glenn but he also drank like a fish for decades and the effects finally caught up to him as he aged

they once estimate the average LE of a rock star as about 63 compared to 76 for the general male population

>>126953002
Maynards Parkinsonian splendor puts even OGP Michael J Fox to shame.

>>126953677
>high risk lifestyle
like when halford drugged and raped jani lane in the 80s? the guy is a stone cold monster.

>>126951009
>>126951183
>Sharon
Calling Sharon Osbourne a cunt is an insult to cunts.

I think the fact that Jake E Lee was shot 3 times in 2024 and was still able to play at this was one of the most impressive things. Would've loved to seen him on more of that era of Ozzy's stuff, but it's a miracle he was as good as he was.

>>126945955
I remember listening to their thrash metal album and having my interest piqued. But they are too hipsters to focus on playing heavy metal.

Also what was up with the singer of Disturbed wearing the star of David??

>>126953379
did Ozzy eat the whole thing sitting there with the crowd watching? that could have been kino

>>126956917
It’s a demon “control” symbol. Seal of Solomon

Patiently waiting for a torrent. I couldn't catch the entire stream cause I was working

People throw shit at Guns N Roses but Ghost and Gojira's covers were subpar at best.

>>126958034
Apart from Axl's voice, GnG were great. I'm not a fan of them generally, but they impressed me. I remember seeing videos of their early 90s performances and thinking they were pretty sloppy live.

>>126956917
he looked like a restaurant owner in Florida. seemed weirdly out of place

>>126950714
I saw a comment somewhere that they'd done a 3 hour show the night before, so that might be a factor

Was the stream's chat the same worldwide? did anyone else see that person who thirsted over kirk hammett in chat?

>>126957166
LMAO

>>126957629
Are you sure?

>>126953379
that's really cute i love it

>>126957166
When no one was looking, Geezer returned with FORTY cakes. Ozzy was forced to eat 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

>>126957907
there's at least one up now. full show is ~25gb. I grabbed it and its legit. limetorrents has it under TV

>>126958204
yep

>>126959238
oh, that will do it then. i feel kinda bad now. at his age you need minimum 2 days rest for your voice.

>>126958034
Gojira's sounded fine to me

>>126948670
https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/music/pearl-jam-drummer-matt-cameron-steps-down/
"Back in May, Soundgarden was announced as a late addition to Black Sabbath’s star-laden farewell concert, which took place Saturday in Birmingham, England. Surviving members Cameron, Thayil and Ben Shepherd were expected to join a lineup of rock giants, including Seattle brethren Alice in Chains and Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses, but reportedly did not appear at the all-star fete marking Black Sabbath’s final live performance."

>>126949708
Ahhh, so there's was another lead singer in Sabbath. That's the Dio era keep referring to?

I can understand why people think Sharon is a Cow, now.

>>126949931
>Live Evil
Me too! I wanted Sabbath songs--mostly Iron Man--but could only afford 1 album and since I was already a Dio fan, I bought L.E. to maximize the main Sabbath songs on 1 tape.
>saw them live
Never saw H&H, but Dehumanizer was hands-down the best time I ever had at a metal concert.

>>126953379
Not Bill, tho.

Fair play.

>>126953379
jfc, the founding father of hm can't do a 15-minute, sitting-down set without a tray of his sundry medicaments close to hand.

>>126963200
But for me it was my introduction to not only Sabbath but heavy metal in general. I grew up with that record.
Did you see the actual Dehumaniser tour?

>>126964627
Yes. Though I sat all the way in the back, on bleachers (it was an outdoor amphitheatre), it was the best metal show I'd been to. At the time the only other large acts would have been:
Maiden : No Prayer then Fear of Dark
Clash of the Titans : megadeth, slayer, anthrax, testament (spring of 91)
Metallica : black album
I saw them all and none compared to Sabbath att.

>>126964747
I remember Iommi once stating in the 00s that there is a huge discography of Sabbath without Ozzy and it isn't fair to disregard it.

Wasn't Alice In Chains in the Clash of the Titans?

Must have been a great concert, seeing Sabbath for Dehumaniser. Such a great album. It is disbeartening to see Sharon turning everything into a clown show, taking the blood out of it.

>>126964476
I'm sure you'll do much better when you're in your late-70's as a stadium full of metal fans scream your name and all the bands you've inspired play your songs.

Oh wait no, you're going to die alone unmourned and unloved in a puddle of your own piss in a welfare hospice.

>>126964829
On the special features for the H&H DVD, there's an interview where Iommi says the Dio ear music was always more musically interesting to him.

I think AiC was on CoT, but I had no idea who they were, only that they weren't metal and so didn't care.

Was a great show. Danzig opened but fml I got there late and pretty missed his set, but because it was an outdoor venue, I could hear him crooning while I was sitting in traffic 20 minutes to get to the venue.

>>126964876
were i to do a 15 minute set at that age i would not have made a point of bringing my medicines on the stage with me.

>>126964909
>a 15 minute set
ozzy solo + ozzy w/ sabbath was about an hour give or take

>>126964925
did he partake of any of his medicaments during either of his sets, 15 minutes or otherwise?

>>126964961
go watch it yourself if you care that much

>>126965015
i tried, it was too painful to watch, rather, listen to.

>>126965029
why are you in this thread?

>>126965047
i was trying to find out if jake & ozzy ever made amends.

>>126964476
>the founding father of hm
That's Tony Iommi.

>>126948105
It's out there. People don't share links on 4Chan bcuz 4Chan is monitored MSM now so sharing the link here means it gets nuked. This was obvious during the actual stream when Sharon's CyberPolice where playing whack-a-mole with /mu/ links.

Learn to intarwebs if you want it that bad, or just wait a few days.

>>126964909
fair, but remember how legendary Ozzy's drug abuse was, i mean, his body is like 70% cocaine and acid residue by now. His mind and body were fucked beyond belief when he made that reality show in 2002.

Here's a video from 1999, it's Ozzy's nurse describing how hard it was to take care of him:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqEsVO1vnvg

>>126965077
all we know so far is they took at least one picture together ass hat, tourist, fag. Please fuck off back to your shota site.

>>126965311
By all logic the guy had no right to still be alive in 2025 and be able to perform at all yet somehow he did considering as others said EVH, Lemmy, and Malcolm Young didn't live to see 70 and not even Lemmy quite got to Ozzy's level of substance abuse.

>>126965609
if you want any chance of surviving substance abuse without permanent damage you have to stop before the age of 40 when your body is still able to heal itself. after that it's too late and stopping could even kill you from withdrawal symptoms.

>>126965636
Whitney Houston unfortunately...did not stop.

>>126965077
Jake was at the show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAohz-nCK6I

>>126965657
nor did John Entwistle

>>126965636
I've seen Ace Frehley live, and Eddie Money a few months before he died, and they're both examples of while they indeed got sober, they did so fairly late in life, so they perpetually operate at like 70% forever

>>126965688
In fairness being found in a mountain of cocaine and hookers at 57 is probably a cool way to go
