I can't believe I missed Ozzfest :-/

I went to Ozzfest in 2002 at Donington :)

[QUOTE=rippa32]Its not the shipping that bothers me, I just dont want it getting lost in the mail or something. And my avatar is Uriah Heeps first album cover. Its even better seeing it on the record cover.[/QUOTE]

I always liked their "Abominog" album cover. One of my all time faves, in fact.

I was going to go see them at download this year but due to money problems and other reasons i didnt go.

I think i have a live sabbath video of heaven and hell on my comp somewhere if i can find it i will post it.

[QUOTE=starappletheory]I like 'War Pigs' a lot. The more I've listened to Black Sabbath lately, I've noticed that they sound a lot like Led Zeppelin. Has anyone ever noticed that or am I crazy?[/QUOTE]

The soloish part of electric funeral sounds like Zeppelin

The Wizard
 

Can Anyone play The Wizard on harmonica because it seems impossible to me

you could probably find tabs for it somewhere on the internet.

i really need to look into getting a harmonica

That would be quite an interesting instrument to learn.

No offence but is that even a real song?

No, haha. I was just improvising on the first day I got the harmonica.

Oh ok well in that case it wasnt that bad. :thumb:

So I just saw that thread about Ozzy pulling Sabbath out of performing at Ozzfest last night due to a cold.

Its a shame Judas Priest weren't with them, I'm sure Halford would've filled in again.

I seriously think that Ozz should consider retiring.

As much as i love ozzy he is f[B][I][/I][/B]ucking up sabbath, they should go drag martin out of whatever rock he is sitting under.

I journied to carlisle yesturday and returned with the following cds:

Black Sabbath - Sabotage
Thin Lizzy - Greatest hits
Iron Maiden - Fear of the dark
Iron Maiden - Seventh son of a seventh son
Testament - Days of darkness
Iced Earth - Alive in athens

True about the ozzy thing, bring back Dio I say, if only hed do it. I would loveto see Halford with them.

Like Richard said, I love Ozzy but he needs to go. Halford would be cool with them but I doubt it will happen.

NP: Megadeth - Tears In A Vial

I think i must be one of the only people in the world that doesnt like Rob Halford's voice :confused:

I used to not like it but now I love it.

When I said halford I meant just one of those one-off things he did. It would have been awesome to see two Dehuminizer tour shows, one Dio one Halford.

I'm going to see Dio in October, he's playing all of Holy Diver then a greatest hits set :)

I'm pretty sure he still does a version of Heaven and Hell which should be good.

my fav black sabbath albums with out ozzy is tyr and cross purposes. i forgot who the singer is on those two but it is probaly some of iommi's best riffs with out ozzy imo.

Tony Martin sung on those albums.

Cheers for that list - Norwich is less than an hour's drive (actually it's less than 40 miles but the road there is shocking). I will se if any tickets are still available - I would love to see him before his Zimmer days arrive!

Check out his website, on the homepage the picture of the band makes him look really short.

I remember in an interview he did for Classic Rock magazine they did an A-Z of Dio, for Z he mentioned Zimmer Frame.
