[QUOTE=Artemician]There's now about a thousand or so photoshopped images of Eddie killing Sharon floating around on the internet. They're rather funny actually. Anybody else see a few of these?

By the way, could somebody upload Iron Maiden (the song) for me? It's stuck in my head right now.[/QUOTE]

not seen them....linky perhaps?

I'd send it, but I don't know if we can still use YSI...

Thats bull.

[QUOTE=cragmaiden666]so does anyone know if the whole PA switching off and Ozzy chanting was caused by Sharon or was it just just some [I]a[/I]sshole[/QUOTE]

The Ozzy chanting had been going on ever since they announced Ozzy had showed up which I think was after Mudvayne left the stage. After that the crowd chanted Ozzy after every band came on during the time between band set-ups.

Edit:

The big reason I think Bruce wasn't such a prick like Sharon claims is because he didn't seem to have anything against Ozzy. When he found one of the egg throwers in the audience he looked right at him and yelled, "You are a disgrace of an Ozzy Osbourne fan!" I think he understands all this MTV crap is Sharon's fault.

More conterversy dammit!

[QUOTE] The manager of a well-known heavy metal band (*NOT* IRON MAIDEN) who attended this past weekend's Ozzfest show at the Hyundai Pavillion in Devore, California has submitted the following first-hand account of the evening that will surely go down as one of the most shameful moments in recent rock history (NOTE: at his request, the author's identity is being protected by BLABBERMOUTH.NET):

"Saturday night's Ozzfest at the Hyundai Pavillion near Los Angeles was a debacle on so many levels, I am still in shock as I write this. As a fan of many of the bands [Saturday] night, one can only hope this was an isolated incident, but sadly, it most likely wasn't. As many of you have heard already, co-headliners and metal legends IRON MAIDEN were pelted with eggs, bottle caps, beer cups, spit on, had people from the Ozzfest camp talking over the PA during their set, had 'Eddie' delayed from his onstage entrance, had members of the [BLACK LABEL SOCIETY] entourage rush the stage with American flags, and had the PA intentionally turned off over six times, all by the OSBOURNE CAMP.

"While it's still unclear as to the exact reasons why the terrorizing started (rumors abounded as to why, with everything from Bruce calling out Ozzy in the U.K. rock magazine Kerrang! on the widely known fact that Ozzy uses a teleprompter, to various vague references said on stage about a 'reality show' at an Ozzfest stop in Detroit), one thing was very clear: The whole thing stunk, and left me, and nearly all of the 40,000+ heavy metal fans in attendance angered and disappointed. Not that behind the scenes bickering or magazine trash-talking is anything new to rock fans, but the shocking lack of professionalism at one of the largest stops in North America in front of 40,000+ spectators, at the hand of the Osbournes was nothing short of disgusting.

"It all began early in the afternoon, when many side stage bands were openly approached in clear view of everyone backstage by Sharon and Kelly Osbourne to 'join them in throwing eggs at IRON MAIDEN this evening.' All the bands were encouraged to rally the other side-stage bands to do so. Members and/or friends of the hardcore band BURY YOUR DEAD were seen actively trying to encourage other side-stage bands to 'join in the fun.' Thankfully, many side stage bands angrily declined.

"Later that evening, as IRON MAIDEN came on stage, their intro was interrupted by [BLACK LABEL SOCIETY] hanger-on and biker wannabe Big Dave, who was at the soundboard loudly chanting 'Ozzy, Ozzy' over the PA. MAIDEN opened their set and the entire band was pelted from the front row with eggs, beer, beer cups, spit, and various other objects by an Ozzfest-credentialed, bandana-wearing, Osbourne entourage. IRON MAIDEN, ever the professionals, continued through their set, and by the time they launched into their second song, 'The Trooper', Bruce changed into a civil war-era, red coat and began waving a Union Jack — British flag. Then, someone in, or associated with, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY tried to rush the stage waving and American Flag with the words 'Don't **** with Ozzy' scrawled across his bare chest. He was tackled and beaten by MAIDEN crew and promptly thrown off stage.

"As 'The Trooper' ended, frontman Bruce Dickinson, with characteristic spunk, launched into a scathing attack on the people terrorizing his band, calling them 'a sorry excuse for an Ozzy Osbourne fan,' and wondering aloud how, 'three dozen eggs could get snuck into the front row of Ozzfest by people with Ozzfest laminates?' Though he never named names, all in attendance could understand who he was referring to. Nicko McBrain ran up to the front asking Bruce to hold on while he cleaned egg off his drums. He then stated the the next song wouldn't be heard on 'Your local cocksucking corporate radio station, wouldn't be seen on MTV anymore, and sure as hell wouldn't be played on a ****ing reality TV show,' met by a huge roar from the crowd.

"During the song 'Hallowed Be Thy Name', Bruce, after only the first two lines, stopped singing and ran to the front row, firing back at his terrorizers, saying 'That asswipe right there, with the curly hair, the ****ing glasses, and Ozzfest laminate throw his ****ing *** out of here right now. It's gonna take more than eggs to stop IRON MAIDEN, and if it wasn't for a lawsuit, I'd rip your ****ing head off right now, you piece of ****!!!!' He had the various attackers ejected and continued with a blistering version of the song until right before the big sing long at the end, the PA was INTENTIONALLY cut off. When it came back, Bruce launched into another scathing attack saying that they were supposed to play a shorter set than normal today, and only play 55 minutes, but IRON MAIDEN can't drive 55, or play 55, and were going to play our whole ****ing set tonight.

"The band endured six more 'PA cuts,' including having the power to their amps turned off at one point. When the PA would come back on, they would simply launch into the next IRON MAIDEN classic, never missing a beat. Frankly, with every PA cut, the band just got meaner and meaner, playing each new song with an anger and a fire that was at times, simply astonishing to watch. Bruce began the introduction to IRON MAIDEN with a speech about 'Your constitution has something about 'We The People.' Well let me tell you, the only reason we are up here tolerating this bull****, is because of you people. You have been amazing Glen Helen, and there are A LOT of IRON MAIDEN fans here tonight,' eliciting a huge roar from the crowd. He continued, 'It's gonna take more than eggs to stop IRON MAIDEN, NOTHING is going to come between us and our fans, and it will be death before dishonor, this is 'Iron ****ing Maiden',' which was greeted by a thunderous applause. During 'Iron Maiden', longtime MAIDEN mascot Eddie was purposely delayed from making his entrance, making a brief appearance at the end, and one could only wonder as to how. As the band closed there set with a furious version of 'Sanctuary', the PA was again cut only to have Big Dave repeatedly chant 'Ozzy' over the PA, while the band tried to say goodbye to their fans. The now-furious crowd angrily drowned him out with chants of 'MAIDEN, MAIDEN.'

"Then, not 10 seconds after MAIDEN left the stage, Sharon Osbourne walked on stage and predictably, tried to give MAIDEN some fake, half-hearted praise about how they'd like to 'thank IRON MAIDEN,' and what a wonderful band IRON MAIDEN are, and how their crew were 'fantastic,' then sneering, 'But Bruce Dickinson is a prick.' The entire crowd, now fed up with the entire affair, began loudly booing her, pelting her with beer cups, and yelling 'bitch.' She tried to carry on, adding that 'Bruce had disrespected Ozzfest,' only to be drowned out by an ocean of boos, and soaked with beer. She slammed the microphone down and stormed off stage. Many in the crowd, fed up with what they had just witnessed, especially considering that many had come solely for MAIDEN, and paid upwards of $150 to do so, left in droves. SABBATH played to maybe half the audience that was there prior, and seemed stagnate compared to the band preceding them. As a huge fan of SABBATH, I honestly couldn't stand to watch them.

"I've seen IRON MAIDEN probably 10 times in my life, and frankly this was the very best IRON MAIDEN show I've had the pleasure of witnessing. You DON'T want to **** with IRON MAIDEN. The more the Osbournes tried to **** with them, the better they got! IRON MAIDEN was on ****ing overdrive! Considering the amount of terrorizing and intimidation that IRON MAIDEN had to deal with at the hands of the Osbournes and the other side stage and main stage bands participating, they were the consummate professionals. They had the crowd in the palms of their hands, and IRON MAIDEN and Bruce Dickinson proved beyond a shadow of a doubt why they are the greatest metal band on earth right now, and quite possibly, the classiest, too.

"The Osbournes are drunk with power. Shame on them, and shame on ANY of the bands that participated in the terrorizing and intimidation. It was disgusting display, that NO BAND should have had to endure, but especially a legend like IRON MAIDEN. That fact that it happened in front of 40,000+ people, at a Clear Channel-sponsored event, while Hyundai Pavilion Security turned a blind eye and let the Osbourne camp pelt one of the main headlining bands with eggs, beer, and spit, was simply inexcusable.

"I will proudly be attending next year's MAIDEN fest, and as much as I hate to say it, I can't bring myself to spend another dime on the Osbournes.

"Ozzfest, hang your head in shame."[/QUOTE]

Wow. That messes with things a bit.

Can someone expain me why Sharon called Bruce a prick?

She's Sharon, she doesn't need a reason.

Is is true that sharon also arranged the shi[I]t[/I] with the PA system and the egg throwers too? If so, she's probably just trying to fuc[I]k[/I] up Maiden a bit and make Sabbath look better since Ozzy's voice hasn't been great lately.
Still, she's a filthy cun[I]t[/I] clamlicking whore and has no business fuc[I]k[/I]ing with Maiden at all

Sorry I'm a little out of it, but does anyone know why Iron Maiden was in Hollywood by the musicians walk of fame? They might have been in CA for Ozzfest, but what was the event?

[QUOTE=daven]Can someone expain me why Sharon called Bruce a prick?[/QUOTE]

Bruce said on stage that you wouldn't see Iron Maiden on MTV or Reality shows etc...I'm pretty sure that was meant to be a blow to Sharon disgracing the Osbourne name all over MTV. That doesn't justify ruining there show however, and Bruce had every right to say it.

Wow, it sucks that Maiden was continually being sabotaged. But at least the crowd knew better than to blame them for it, and all the anger over this crappy turn of events was aimed exactly where it should be: at Sharon :evil:

To answer your question, I think that YSI has been giving everyone a problem. There's so many people uploading music, that they must have suspected something. The only files that will upload for me are 20 MB to 30 MB.

Hi guys.

So, I'm seeing Maiden in FIVE FUGGIN DAYS! I'm gonna make a sign and hold up it with pride!

It WAS going to say "I want Nicko's feet", but now I'm thinking about writing something anti-Osbourne. What do ya'll reckon?

"I want Nicko's feet, I will remove them with a bone ripped from sharon osbourne's mutilated carcass!"

3 days til maiden...yey!!! i need to listen to the S/T, Killers, PoM and NOTB when i get home tomorrow...although i could listen to PoM while driving home from Cambridge, its a 5 hour drive...

ugh i've been away for a few days i just read all this bs. and all i can say is f*ck sharon and all the other mutherf*ckers who did that,i hope they all die a very long painful death.but at least maiden got the last laugh.i hope next year they will spend more time touring in canada because of this:thumb:.on a happier note while i was away in the city i bought a copy of iron maiden to replace my burned copy,completing my collection of all their 80's albums.up the irons :D

to be honest...I would be surprised if they play America again after this...
