Was thinking about that time Ozzy blasted me in the face with that water gun hooked to a water hose that time I saw him in 1996. Wasn't even mad.

PS shout out to Joe Holmes, the guitarist at that show. He killed it.

Wolfgang Van Halen did a cover last night of "Mama I'm Coming Home" that was really good.

99% of these big name artists "tributes", are 100% self serving/pandering.

And you will find the same on a local level, every bar/cover band will be working up a half-ass Ozzy cover to shoehorn into their set at the VFW or Sports Bar. this weekend, followed the usual collective of asshats joining together for a "tribute show".

That was amazing!, it was exactly like what you would see from a local cover band, but it was actually Eddie Van Halen's son!

I don't care what their motivation is. If I'm at a show last night or for the foreseeable future, I want to hear an Ozzy song.

:lol:

Don't worry, normally before a band of this genre comes on they play classic rock songs over the PA. So you will probably hear War Pigs and Paranoid.

Funny thing about mispronouncing his name... when Bush called him "Osburne" that is the correct pronunciation.
For the record, Bush is from Texas, and dumber than a box of rocks. So it fits . . .

George W. Bush's estimated IQ is around 119-125, based on various academic studies, although some sources suggest it could be higher.

100 is average. Just sayin’. Don’t buy the “oh, gosh…” act. He’s no dummy. None of those fuckers is dumb.

Well below Clinton and Kennedy.

I remember when No More Tears came out and there were talks of him retirement. And he did go into semi-retirement at least. But it's pretty amazing to think that was 35 years ago and the man kept rocking all the way up until his final days. Respect for that. And I really did believe him when he said "I love you all". He was the real thing. I'm cranking up some Ozzy now as I type this. RIP!
