man thats insane, i cant believe it.........iron maiden treated that way, that has to be ozzys wife, bands with beef dont do that shit to each other

Bruce should have slapped that bitch silly. Ozzfest is fucking gay anyways.

Well I was going to make a thread about this, but its here already...

"This is an embarassment to the metal community of epical proportions. The entire Ozzbourne estate is nothing but a sad, money-hungry joke. I hope Bruce and the rest of Iron Maiden know enough to not be embarassed by this, and I hope they rise above it. Sharon Osbourne should have her hidden male genetalia torn from her body, and be beaten with it."

I think I made my thoughts clear.

Thats bullshit, fuck ozzfest. This is for the fans, not just for Sharron. Thats a fucked up way to take anger out on a band.

Sharon = lesbo money loving whore...

Sabotaging a band on your own bill's pretty low. It's funny that it takes having the concert's promoter invest time and money to sabotage their performance to fuck Maiden up, whereas Ozzy spent this year's Ozzfest giving a clinic on failure. The other funny thing is that part of Sharon's beef with Maiden is based on some comments Bruce made onstage about Sabbath's ongoing 'reunion' tours and total lack of new material, which are pretty much exactly in line with what every member of Sabbath except Ozzy (and Sharon) have been bitching about in interviews. The whole thing's amusing, and I like to see that Maiden still stick to their guns after all these years. Now if they'd just kick Janick out of the band.

Thank you steve. I'm damn glad I decided not to go to the 'fest this year. Waste of money (though Bury Your Dead would've kicked ass). Maiden put on the best live show I've ever seen (00', Brave New World tour. Stunned), and any asshole, hired or not, who would do that to them is a fucking cunt and should be shot. I'd throw the fucking eggs right back into her wrinkled face if she ask me to do that.

Whores. The lot of them.

I wonder how many people are going to ask for a refund for the remaining dates, a huge portion of people(mainly the non mallcore kids) are going mainly for Maiden. Now the main attraction is lost, and we don't know when they'll be coming back to the US. Way to go, Fuckfest.

IRON MAIDEN Pelted With Eggs During OZZFEST; SHARON OSBOURNE Calls BRUCE DICKINSON A 'Prick' - Aug. 21, 2005

BLABBERMOUTH.NET has received a number of e-mails regarding last night's (August 20) Ozzfest concert in Devore (near San Bernardino), California, which reportedly included an on-stage appearance following IRON MAIDEN's set by Sharon Osbourne during which she called MAIDEN vocalist Bruce Dickinson a "prick." The following report was submitted by David Priest, editor-in-chief of On Track Magazine:

"Last night's [August 20] headlining performance of IRON MAIDEN at Ozzfest in San Bernardino, CA rendered some interesting, if not disturbing, results. Although MAIDEN played one hell of a show, they were under attack from the moment they began their set. From the time they hit the stage, they suffered power loss on at least three occasions and they were continuously pelted with ice, bottle caps, and eggs, among other things. Vocalist Bruce Dickinson was even spit on by one attendee. He seemed to believe these occurrences were not by accident and insinuated that they had been planned from the beginning of the night [Download MP3 files of Bruce's on-stage rants at last night's Ozzfest: Bruce#1, Bruce#2]. He also encouraged the other audience members to break the arm of anyone that they saw throwing things their way. Upon concluding their performance, the emcee for the evening began to chant Ozzy, Ozzy while Bruce was still speaking. Bruce retaliated by chanting MAIDEN. After he left the stage, Sharon Osbourne took over the mic and informed the crowd that they absolutely loved IRON MAIDEN and their crew and stated that they were all wonderful but that their singer Bruce Dickinson was a prick and had disrespected Ozzfest since they began their stint with the touring summer festival [Download MP3 file of Sharon's anti-Bruce rant at this location]. This, of course, came as a shock to those of us in attendance and the there was ample confusion and speculation from audience members there after. As previously announced, last night's show marked the final performance of IRON MAIDEN on this year's Ozzfest. VELVET REVOLVER will be taking over their slot on the last remaining dates."

Here are a few more eyewitness accounts, as submitted by BLABBERMOUTH.NET readers:

-------------------------------------------------

"Tonight was the last show of IRON MAIDEN's leg of the Ozzfest. Unfortunately the rest of the tour will have that spot filled by VELVET REVOLVER. There has been some sniping and such going on during this tour between Ozzy's camp and Bruce Dickinson, but that had been kept for the most part away from the fans it appears. So, IRON MAIDEN is playing a 55-minute set (though they've played full shows on the nights SABBATH cancelled on this tour because Ozzy can't to back to back nights.)

"MAIDEN is about to come on and right before a voice on the PA starts chanting 'Ozzy, Ozzy.' MAIDEN comes on and starts getting pelted with eggs from one area of the pit. Some dude has three dozen eggs. Bruce calls this out quickly. Next, during 'The Trooper', where Bruce waves a large British flag, some big dude painted red walks out from backstage with an American flag and on his back painted 'Don't f(#$ with Ozzy).' Tackled, he appeared off stage again. Then after Bruce declared 'You'll never hear MAIDEN on U.S. radio, MTV and certainly never see them in a reality show,' he says they will play 60 minutes, not 55. So, during two of their most popular songs (note: they are only playing songs from the first four albums, so 40,000 metalheads and idiots are going nuts), their PA and power goes off. Unbelievable, they handled it fine as almost if they expected it. They then do an encore and Bruce says something about the 'We the People' and nobody is going to stop them, not eggs, a guy spitting on them (until Bruce had him tossed) or a PA hoax and they play two more songs. Then they finish and are bowing and saying goodnight and the Ozzy voice comes on to chant, Bruce tries to change it to MAIDEN chant and then says, 'Are you as sick of this BS 'cause we are.' And they walk off.

"THEN: Sharon [Osbourne] comes on stage and asks for everyone’s attention and half ass praises and thanks IRON MAIDEN but say the singer Bruce is a prick and has been slagging the tour. 40,000 are stunned and start to boo and throw stuff, but most were stunned by the surreal moment. SABBATH then came out and did a good set like last year's with a much improved, yet hoarse, Ozzy. They started doing medleys thought, not good. But the rest, eesh."

Good for Bruce. I still have to see Maiden, but I would be damned if it would have been at Ozzfest.

I would tell the crowd to wreck the whole fucking place!!!

I was at that one. Iron Maiden were awesome, but that stupid fuck Big Dave kept fucking around. During the Trooper, he came out waving a US flag while Maiden was using teh British one. Idiot. Then they had the fucking nerve to cut off part of Run to the Hills, and the last minute of Hallowed Be Thy Name. Stupid cunt.

I'd tell them to boycott Ozzy for the crime of faggotry. And while we are on the topic, I've done just that. Time to go pollute the Ozzy board like a troll. kidding on that. i'm hovering over an ebay item like a fucking hawk. no time for that.

and sharon wtf happened to her having cancer or sumthing..... bitch

Yes, Big Dave. And whether we like her or not, cancer is not funny. Even as fucked up as I am, I won't joke about it.

Haha, this was the one near my place, I really wanted to go too....

That's a damn shame. It's beyond unprofessional.
If Sharon and the crew felt that Bruce and Maiden were disrespecting Ozzfest, all she had to do was ask them to leave. Being the money hungry whore she is, however, she knew that this move would be financial scuicide and fucking backfire. So, she waited till their last show to do this shit.
I can't believe Ozzy let something like this happen on the festival which bears his name. The poor bastard was probably hopped up on so many different painkillers he was completely clueless as to what's going on. Ozzy needs to grow his balls back, because Sharon is ruining him.
I've yet to see Maiden live, and thanks to this incident, the chances of that ever happening are pretty damn slim.
This whole ordeal makes me

He's been clueless for the last decade or so....

Ozzfest should have been over with years ago, because each year it just goes down in quality & Iron Maiden should be kissing Sharons & Ozzys ass to be put on that tour, Would they rather be playing some small club in bumblefuck USA rather than thousands at Ozzfest! Bands with egos like that should realize its not 1985 anymore & their time has passed & should be happy they got a bone thrown to them! This is the USA! not Europe or Germany! Think about it

Yeah, most of the bands at Ozzfest are gay, and probably there's too many people; it's crowded, but they always have at least 2 bands that are great. Where else would I see Black Sabbath, Maiden, BLS, and In Flames play in the same show?

Since when are Europe and Germany two seperate continents? Idiot. What is your problem with Europe, cocksucker?

lol when egos attack

I'm sorry but Maiden deserve better treatment.
The Ozzfest has become a joke, how many shows has sick note Ozzy not performed at for one reason or another? Rob Halford's filled in for him and if I recall a few years back Sabbath pulled out at the last minute leaving the other bands on the bill to jam with each other on Sabbath tunes. Didn't he also cancel some shows so he could have tea with the Queen for her birthday party? My other objection with the Ozzfest is the fact that bands like Slayer always have a 2 o'clock mid afternoon baby set, playing 4 bands below acts such as Slipknot or who ever else is Roadrunner records new darlings!

I really think that Sharon has become a little too big for her boots, I admire someone who speaks their mind but I abhor people who do not act in a professional manner and at her level she should not be behaving in such gobby council estate scutter fashion.

As for twats throwing stuff at Maiden....in the words of Dave Mustaine when he was getting shit from a crowd..."I can't believe some idiot people spitting at us! I'd rather pay to feed myself than pay to spit on someone!"

I heard people on blabbermouth saying stuff like how Maiden should join Gigantour, it's just a thought, but that would be sweeeet.

Little late now. And the personalities of the bands on that tour... adding Maiden would not help. there would be bickering. Although yes, it would be awesome.

I can't believe people are taking the side of the fans/sharon. PST told me they were on blabbermouth.

I agree. King's a fucking jag-off, at least to me he was.

If you could even begin to understand what point i was trying to make about bands being bigger overseas than here JERKOFF! For instance Maiden would be treated like gods over there & treated like the old fucks that they are over here. So suck a huge load out of my cock & swallow that shit bitch!

Your point is false. You are stupid.

I know im dumb for looking at the music business for what it is. But its cool im not gonna get into ridiculous discussions any longer. And sorry if i offended any mullet wearing Maiden fans.

Where is the "I think your a fucking retard" smilie?

One of your favorite bands is "Fear Factory".

I wasn't going to say anything in this thread, either about Sharon Osbourne being as mad as a wounded rhino (and about as pleasant) or your continually fuckwitted postings. But I have to say this: you're a smegmated facial polyp and your opinions are fecal drivel. Shut up.

All I shall say is that I think the festivals in Germany and other mainland European countries have far better line ups on the bill than the average Ozzfest.

Hail Wacken and Graspop!!

I'm sure you all know about my feelings towards Maiden's music, but that just sucks. That should never happen to any band who has done so much for metal. I wouldn't go to Ozzfest to see Maiden but I'd never do it to a band I didn't care for, I'd just sit back and try to enjoy the show.

At least when it happens at a Type O Negative show it has hilarious results.

Of course they do, because they are one weekend shows, whereas Ozzfest is a TOUR that lasts the entire summer.

Hahahaha

I hope Sharon dies a slow, painful death.
Amen,

this whole thing sucks intensely for us Americans. Brucke Dickinson was already not a fan of the states, Plus for most of their tours they only play in like NY and California which is lame enough. now theres virtually no chance of another US Maiden tour involving the midwest. I think all the Americans on Metaltabs should send Iron Maiden an E-card saying were sorry.

I am a MASSIVE Maiden fan and without a mullet.
Does your gayass apology extend to me too?

yeah i was there when that shit happened. it was weird, i didnt know what was going on. sharon osbourne reminds me of my mom, it fucking scares me.

No my hugeass cock extends down your throat

thats impossible. you're over the internet with her, theres no physical way possible that your "hugeass cock" extends down her throat.




Shut up.

No its cool i just wont get into arguements with people in metal forums anymore because its pointless, everybody has their own opinion no matter how blockheaded it may be. Its like trying to force metal onto someone who listens to country, Everybody is set in their own way & its blasphemy if you say something against somebodys favorite band or opinion so from now ill just sit back & watch the nonsense. Except for when Bia posts something about music, its just funny to read something that some dumbass chick that knows nothing posts in a thread. It would suprise me if you could tune your guitar Bia

Fucking bloody hell, I hate teenagers sometimes...

Yes. Without even mentioning Wacken or any of the others, Ozzfest in the UK has a bill usually 10x better. Tool, Slayer, etc. Its fucking SHIT.



I agree, but if you are going to post stupid shit, do it in the RTT like I did. Don't fuck up another thread. Screw off in one that is already fucked enough. And with that said, back on topic, and less about your extremely small phallus.

sharon's a silly bitch

they didnt deserve all of that.

It has more to do with my own preferences in metal bands rather than whether they are tours or weekend events. I'd much rather sit in a field and watch an underground death metal band than sit in a field and watch a band featuring ex members of Coal Chamber if you get my drift.

To imply that the line ups on the Ozzfest are weak becuase it's a tour rather than one show is not 100% true. Ozzfest is about making money so the bands that appear are either Sharon's latest pet or their record company has paid big wads to get their names on there. It's more to do with 'are they hot at the moment and will they get hundreds through the gates, kerching $$$$$$$' not whether they are any good. And no band in their right mind is going to turn down the Ozzfest!

That realy depends on where your prioritys are.

You know, I was kinda shocked to find out the BANDS have to pay to appear on Ozzfest...

__________________

I think Bruce should get a motherfucking medal. He is completely right to call Ozzy a sellout, cause if you look at plain fact, he is. Sharon is a fucking stuck-up bitch that thinks that she owns all, well i am pretty sure that Bruce infact owns all. If he asked me to suck his cock, i would. It would be understandable if lets say they pelted a Metalcore band or Nu-Metal band, cause they would have no right to say anything about Ozzy, but we are talking about Iron Maiden. Its just discusting that this could happen, I mean, if it was like jokingly or something, but at this calibur its rediculous. They are that much of arrogant assholes that they would disrespect Iron Maiden. Maiden were doing Ozzy a favor on that tour, and now i hope Ozzfest goes to hell... Ozzfest Boycott, anyone?

That's an excellent signal of impartiality on your part.

Yep it's a sad fact. With a lot of big tours the support often have to pay to get on the bill. Don't seem right some how does it!

I'm not 100% sure about this, but doesn't some of the money made from ozzfest, payed by tickets and bands and otherwise go towards Sharon Osbournes Bowel Cancer charity? So she got the money, then screwed over Iron Maiden. But whatever, She is downright stupid.
