Was this one of the biggest flexes in music history?
This literal retard getting major bands to drop everything to come celebrate him in his hometown?
Could any other performer have got that huge of a response?
Only one I can think is that Bob Dylan 25th or 30th Anniversary show that had a lot of big acts.
Could anyone else currently pull off such a huge tribute concert as Ozzy/Sabbath?
Paul McCartney? Who could he get?
Led Zepplin? Who could they get?

way too tryhard of bait op

>>126946380
how is it bait?
i'm actually curious, could anyone pull off that huge of a tribute concert?
was sabbath and ozzy (who i was never particularly a fan of, btw) the most influential musicians in rock history?
could the last surviving member, paul mccartney of what is generally considered most influential band get that many huge acts to show up?
who would they be?

>how is it bait?
posts more bait

>No Maiden
>No Priest
>lack of Sabbath/Ozzy contemporaries

Iron Maiden could potentially do a huge send-off event if they decided to, however it wouldn't be as mainstream, both in the acts involved and in the publicity it would get. I don't think they'd even aim for such mainstream attention in the first place.

Metallica definitelly has the pull to organize something on par with this if they decide to retire. However, given that time is ticking and many of the biggest classic names are retiring or actually dying out, I don't know if by the time Metallica retire there will be enough household name acts to match this.

>>126946294 (OP)
Metallica obviously could.

They're slowly getting older but they still play good as fuck live. I saw them a few months back and the entire arena was shaking like a motherfucker.

>>126946457
>could the last surviving member, paul mccartney of what is generally considered most influential band

its not just that Sabbath were popular, its that theyre literal heroes to everyone else on that stage. people on mu with bitch and whine but you wont find an actual rock or metal musician that doesnt fucking love Black Sabbath. who in that scene is going to get a call asking if they want to play at Sabbath's retirement gig and turn it down? nobody.

I recon it might have been. Sabbath are considered to be the pioneers of the metal genre, which has branched out into a million different things.
For how old they are, they're a "your favourite band's favourite band's favourite band". The domino effect they've had is pretty ridiculous.

As for who could do the same, I'm not too sure desu... There are a lot of genre defining musicians but none of them have the same pull or clout.
Like, Kraftwerk are similar pioneers from the same time but I doubt that Bartos or Flur would ever play with them again. I'm also unsure if they could fill a football stadium these days. Sabbath has modern appeal whereas other old bands are very dated sounding.

Aside from retiring and dying, I think another ball in the court is whether or not the musicians hate each other. Sabbath obviously buried some hatchets but a lot of similar bands have feuds that will likely die along with the members themselves. All of that, and no other band has had the same media circus surrounding it that Ozzy had.

Again, for the umpteenth time... He's not a retard, he's just a Brummie

By the time they'll retire, Metallica would only get SoD, Korn, maybe Therapy, Testament, Slayer, Tool.

>>126946639

-this bitch scams you out of the money you deserve.

-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.

ozzy and black sabbath invented metal, he is the king of metal. if he is having a final show you show the fuck up.

they were already doing a show in another country yesterday
>>No Priest
KK was there in person (did Breaking with Corgan singing) and the entire band phoned in a video

did I imagine this or does anyone else remember hearing that too?

>>126947205
>Baby killer

??

>>126946639
Agreed that there should've been Maiden and Priest. Not sure why Priest wasn't there because they get along. But Bruce and Sharon absolutely hate each other. Two giant ass egos who think they're equally the best.

Look up Ozzfest 2005. There was a show where Sharon fucked up the sound system and got people to egg Maiden while they were on stage.

>>126947542
this dude

Jon Schaffer should have been there

>>126946942
This one is particularly hilarious because, they had Halestorm and that fag Yungblood yesterday.
Glazing in some industry plant artists for their demo and keeping the execs happy is guaranteed regardless of who the artist is. If fucking Elvis had had a retirement last show, you bet your ass you would've seen rappers and fucking Donna Summer at the show and not just rockers/rock adjacents.

Why soil this with Axl Mickey Mousing his way through Sabbath Bloody Sabbath though?
I am just glad no one ruined Solitude at least.
>>126947614
What a pos.

>>126947263
Do you have any idea what a metric shit ton of artists both mainstream and obscure that Black Sabbath and Ozzy have influenced? Its mathematically impossible for everyone to show up.
But yeah sure. Some 30 minutes of Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus and Thergothon would have been much more kino than GNR or Disturbed. But that was never going to happen because this whole thing was just Ozzys farewell to the mainstream music industry.

>>126947135
Charity concert. Proceeds going to Birmingham hospital and childrens hospice centers and that sort of thing.

>>126948357
Actually fellow brummies Esoteric would have been even more kino. And would make the normie crowd shit themselves to smithereens with fear.

>>126946757
Unless that tribute show would happen relatively soon, even if Paul or RIng wanted too, they wouldn't have the same kinda contemporaries there.

>>126947291
true, but while Iommi was inventing the music of metal, Ozzy was inventing selling Hot Topic T-Shirts via a VH-1 reality show and putting his name on festivals full of stinky stoners trading their STD collections.

Actually the biggest flex was Ozzy outliving Jimmy Swaggart though.

metal is the only genre where young fans stay loyal for life. Every other genre the fans give zero shits about its history. Method Man often complains that he can't get booked bcuz young kids don't know who he is, and ask any CW fans to name three pioneers, and they'll say Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, then stare silently at you for an hour while their third neuron fails to spark.

Swaggart was 90. Ozzy won't see that and his condition has been very poor for years already.

They invented heavy metal so of course the later bands would want to pay tribute.
>>126946748
Metallica wouldn't get the same names. They'd get bands that were younger and were influenced but there wouldn't be that many since Metal kind of died off after the 80's.

>>126949557
>Metallica wouldn't get the same names. They'd get bands that were younger and were influenced but there wouldn't be that many since Metal kind of died off after the 80's.
There's a whole host of 90s and 2000s metal bands still kicking, but if Metallica pulled them they'd definitely be less "traditional" and more extreme metal.

In short, no.
Ozzy was famous amongst people who hadn't even listened to Sabbath or any metal whatsoever

>>126950612
>>Anthrax
>>some of of the most influential bands in metal.
kek

>>126950829
Anthrax paid, out of their own pocket, four unknown noobs with a cult following to fly to NJ with their shitty cassette demo and got them a record deal, a simple tour and the set up to record their first album. Their names were James, Dave, Cliff and Lars. A little bit later, they helped Dave set up his new band while he worked with a guitarist named Kerry who was in another band that Anthrax ALSO helped get started.

So yes, Anthrax was pretty influential. Even if you're too much of an indoor faggot to understand just how much fucking fun Anthrax was as a live band, bcuz contrary to what your retarded YouTube zoomer teaches you, Heavy Metal is meant to be listened to from inside a mosh pit, not the way YOU listen to metal, which I assume is in your mom's basement on a computer while constantly alt-tabbing between YouTube.com and r34.com/tag=furry

And there it is, hidden as "travel expenses". This could claim for every penny spent by a band, including flights/other transportation, hotels, food, etc. A free vacation at the very least, considering the vast majority of performers were coming in from the US.

>>126950976
There's no way wikipedia and large-scale showbiz acts would ever publicly lie about money, right? Especially where a charity is concerned. ESPECIALLY when that charity involves Sharon Osbourne.

Hope there will be some sucessors to that spiritual kind of hard rock but i think to make truely original stuff in that vein probably takes too much creativity that the average 6 chord guitar beard bimbos couldn't replicate. Maybe ill just do it myself kek. Looking at the slop on youtube doesn't give me much hope.

>>126947205
elvis used to demand writing credits on songs he didn't write too.
it's just kinda how intellectual property works.
they come up with a formula how to divide profits with songwriter getting such and such cut.
but the formula is rigid and doesn't take into account specific situations.
i.e., elvis was huge and whatever slop he recorded would sell, so why should songwriter get that huge cut when what''s selling the record is elvis singing it.
same goes for ozzy.
that guy's song wouldn't have sold squat if ozzy didn't sing it.

>>126957047
>elvis was huge and whatever slop he recorded would sell, so why should songwriter get that huge cut when what''s selling the record is elvis singing it
Because without the writer Elvis wouldn't have anything to sing

>>126957056
there were literally 10,000 songwriters who would have stepped in to replace the guy signing over songwriting credits to elvis.
i don't know the specifics of the ozzy situation, but the guy's song wouldn't have sold shit if ozzy didn't sing it. ozzy was the one bringing an audience and commercial viability. so why should they be bound to a dumb formula that says songwriter gets such and such cut when the actual real world situation was it was ozzy singing it that sold the product?
show biz is funny. when you don't have a name (like this songwriter guy) you have no leverage and make pennies, when you do (like ozzy in early 80's) you got the leverage and can pocket almost all the profits.

Would be based if Discharge could pull off something similar but it can't happen.

>>126955408

>>126963668
no because no bands ever really retire. They say they are, go on a farewell tour, then "oops we are making a new album + tour, sorry if you fell for our grift. Thanks for the money though"

Ozzy can't walk anymore so obviously he's not gonna perform anymore.

>>126966362
it's not a grift. these band actually believe they are done. then enough time passes, the band realises they can and still want to do shit plus fan demand is still there so it happens.

I've seen Tool live once on every album tour since Undertow. Highly recommend seeing them ONCE, but the problem with seeing Tool more than once is their live show is basically a movie. A really good movie, but once you've seen it there's no reason to pay money to watch it again.

Slayer on the other hand is ALWAYS worth seeing live even if you don't care for their music.

>>126957910
they aren't as classic
way past their prime
pissed off a lot of folks during Napster times
there still are people that care about them but it won't nearly be as big a deal

>>126970760
Now that I have seen them live here if I can get a chance to see them again for a proper full show I will definitely check it out. Was very impressed and this was without all of the light show/visuals in their usual set that everyone has told me about.

Mastodon opened and their new guitarist seems to be decent.

Great job, Draiman

>Led Zepplin? Who could they get?
everyone. Sabbath would have been there.

Besides. NUNO stole the show.

>>126963483
Nice, I also went with a friend. Both of us plus about 5 others I knew tried to get tickets with no luck, but my miss managed to get 2 seating for £520 each, although it included a hotel for the Saturday.
How much were yours?

was right up here, still worth it. sound was 10/10. was painfully boring sat near quiet boomers and kids though

i've been a Tool fanatic since Opiate and been to many many shows but the show from pic related...about 2 months after the release of Fear Inoculum was my favourite. the curtain effect as the title tracks eerie intro started up along with the swirling visuals was so over the top yet a nod to Genesis etc. i didn't think they could get any better than the Lateralus 2002 shows but they proved me wrong.

>>126970939
>there still are people that care about them but it won't nearly be as big a deal
They've been the biggest rock/metal band in the world for 30+ years. Way more popular than Black Sabbath ever were.

>>126957910
I don't think they will to be honest, not officially

>>126960136
He's lucky Megadeth are supporting them, sales would have been shit otherwise

>>126963840
Fair play to them putting screens on the side like that. Is that normal for stadium shows?

>>126960136

They played in Sevilla Spain the night before

As someone who was there, I feel like just attending in itself makes it a massive flex

>>126972725
>How much were yours?
Somehow some dude I know from Canada managed to get 2 tickets for 250 quid (might have been Canadian dollars) and he seemed to do it legitimately, no reselling and no other websites, just got them off the official page. No idea how he managed but I'm grateful he did and asked me to go with him. I live about 40mins away from Birmingham so if they were fake it was a much bigger inconvenience for him than me. At one point we were in the wrong queue to get in and the tickets didn't read and I was like "I FUCKING KNEW IT" and then they just directed us to the right queue and it was fine.

>>126973733
I've seen them do it before when they let people sit at the side of the stage, they needed most of the ground to accommodate the people. For a smaller show they would have just closed off part of the stands on the side and had big screens only at the front.

Pic related was Metallica, I really don't like them but I can't lie, they sounded decent live.

>>126946294 (OP)
Unironically Foo Fighters but only in ten years maybe once Grohl is like 65 or so. When it feels like a farewell concert. All the remaining of Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, QOTSA, a lot of millennial bands that look up to them like Deftones, Bullet For My Valentine, The Strokes, The Killers and Avril Lavigne, Blink 182.

>>126975291
Foo Fighters in 10 years will be completely irrelevant on the streets and only pushed through farmed playlists. unless Dave dies this year or next.
remember the audience is just drunk divorced Dads most of which are dying through self infliction or from the fake virus 'cure' injections..

>>126975697
this sounds about right. Foo's have no generational iconic image to marry their few great tunes with like Kurt did.

>war pig

Nobody seemed to comment on the obvious hypocrisy of closing the show - and the career of Black Sabbath - with "War Pigs," while profits from that very performance would be going to slaughter innocent children in Gaza.

Sabbath, via their master Sharon Osbourne, became in their final moments exactly what they had originally so decried.

"The fans online looked from war pig to band, and from band to war pig, and from war pig to band again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

>>126970939
Maybe critically they are past-prime with new music (72S needed heavy editing - where's Bob & Randy?) but they seem to be getting bigger every year live with new generations. Its really weird.

>>126972725
>2 seating for £520 each
Fucking hell.
Ticket prices have been normalised.
For Baal, sorry, Sharon.

>>126977352
They closed with Paranoid.

>>126975697
Foos is an interesting one. Those first couple albums were great then it became all cookie cutter. Also, he sacrifices band members to level-up in power. Saw em in 03 in a dingy ampitheatre out in the sticks. Now they play stadiums, and he has a WEF vibe about him. There is nothing interesting musically they have to offer. Clear channel rock.

>>126977392
Metal as a musical form is actually self-destructive. The metal artist self-immolates with their frustration and anger - which is why it's so compelling but also why so few bands of the genre survive.

Alcoholica was always about wanting parental attention (James especially) for being oh-so-rebellious, making them more accurately a metal cover band than truly metal. Cliff died for his music; Lars and James merely profited from his sacrifice.

Thus "Metallica" can continue to play forever for fans who can no longer feel testosterone-driven anger and the music it creates, and for those "hipster metalheads" who think "metal" means "wearing a t-shirt from a band with a catchy name and a recognizeable logo."

>>126947614
If you are against on taking action, you want basically monkeys(muslims or whatever) in control of fucking nukes?

>>126960528
>Steven Tyler ... gives hope Aerosmith will be back
Singing for less than an hour on a single day is easy compared to the grueling effort of singing 2+ hours for 40-50 shows.

Tyler was in good form but Aerosmith isn't coming back.

Civilian *children*.

LMAO, imagine thinking "monkeys" (Or "muslims or whatever", as you put it, which gives us a glimpse of your <79 IQ ) have any nukes. Remember when the Iraqi "monkeys" supposedly had WMD?

>sleep token instead of sleep
Where is the doom and stoner in general? These genres are called sabbath-worship for a reason

Billy Corgan's Snowblind and Breaking The Law covers were terrible.

Yeah, people who didnt read the news shouldnt be posting. Iran already had the planes, and as I said, they are monkeys, its hard to them to complete a nuke but they are close to it.

>>126982342
>people who didnt read the news shouldnt be posting
Yep, 6,000,000 shlomos gettin' killed every day - at least that's what the (((news))) says.

Someone think of slaughtering all the non-jew children! (Call it "Passover 2" and celebrate!)

A country full of Don and Sharon Ardens, no wonder it's hell.

>>126981221
Correct, he was awful

>>126982342
if Pissreal can have nukes (they do) then so can Persia, simple as.

>>126974523
Smart to stay far away from that raging bitch Sharon.

It's no compliment to Ozzy he's stayed with her for decades when everyone else can see she's a total cunt.

>>126946294 (OP)
>This literal retard getting major bands to drop everything to come celebrate him in his hometown
Ozzy's barely able to speak. You can be sure it wasn't Ozzy who made this happen.

Does Dramian read out responses to fans? If he does I came up with a brilliant way to troll him.
