Will include all 4 orginal members. Not sure what kind of condition Ozzy is in.

Concert will have a load of special guests to pay tribute to the original heavy metal band.

Jesus, that's a lineup. Will sell out in about 5 seconds.

 
I can see it now: Ozzy will wander on stage, squeak out a few notes, bite off the head of a bat, and stumble off.


I was on tour with Ozzfest back in the day. The one thing about Ozzy is he has no idea where he is or what he is saying. However, when dude hits the stage, he comes alive. It's pretty crazy. That stage just makes him change.
 
During the peace and love era 4 blokes blew the **** up

A ******* fantastic band with one hell of an early run. Those first 5 albums still hold up and will always hold up.

Agreed. He's incredible live. I caught them for Ozzfest 99 with all 4 original members, and it's one of the highlights of my concert going life.

The lineup had some excellent bands, System of a Down, Slipknot, Rob Zombie, Deftones, Primus Godsmack, etc, but Sabbath was far and away the best of the show.

That was actually the tour I was on with Slipknot. I actually spoke to Bill Ward for about a half hour with my friend Paul who was in Slipknot. I didn't know the whole time it was Bill Ward. I thought he was a Roadie. It was before Phones have Camera's and I am so disappointed I didn't have a camera with me. I still have all of my Crudentials signed by Sharon Ozzborne which gave me all access to everything the whole tour.

Bill Ward is truly one of the all-time greatest rock drummers

But he could've been one of the all-time jazz drummers too. Amazing talent.
 
Just a random observation, but it always felt like Ozzy/Black Sabbath were unusually popular in Iowa. Not so much that they aren't popular elsewhere, but it just seemed like they were in waaaay heavier rotation on the radio, in bars/restaurants and other such places where one hears music they don't necessarily choose. It just seemed like I heard weekly if not daily while living in Iowa (from the late-90s through the mid-00s) and pretty infrequently since moving away.
 
This happened yesterday. Respect to them for doing this in their old age, and Ozzy with his Parkinsons. Probably pretty cool for them to perform together one last time.
 
Lots of good tributes and mini-reunions/collabs were posted and most seemed to go very well.
 
Heard Jamie was wanting to get Black Sabbath to open up the new CYTOWN Amphitheater.

I wish I could have been there, but I did get to see Sabbath a few times in the past. As a huge metal nerd my whole life, this band has been and always will be special to me. They created heavy metal and influenced every metal band to come after them. HAIL SABBATH!!

Obvious Sharon was in charge. It was mostly about Ozzy. Ozzy did 5 of his solo songs with Zak Wylde and only 4 Sabbath songs. No mention of the Sabbath albums with Ronnie James Dio. Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules were solid albums. One of bands could have done a cover of at least one song
 
I don't know about anyone else, but I think if Jack Black ever became serious about music (I don't know, maybe he is and just only acts like he's always doing a comedy act) he could be one of the greatest rock singers of all time. He's got it all, right down to the rock scream.

I don't know how 'serious' they were but Tenacious D had a good run.

Tenacious D was always more of a comedy act. The clip I linked above is about as serious as I've ever seen Jack Black when he's singing. Maybe it's because he wanted to do justice to Ozzie in this tribute to him. Even in School of Rock, he camped it up for the comedic value.
