Black Sabbath are set to make a special announcement next week.

I had to sit thru the longest and most repetitive guitar solo ever, courtesy of Zakk. It felt like it took up a third of the set. Added to the fact that the Concord Pavillion (now Sleep Train) has shitty sound now. It was excrutiating. I even had to move to the middle of the lawn for Priest. But back on topic, Zakk is highly overrated. He has his moments but he doesn’t have shit on Gus G, who’s playing for Ozzy now. Gus is actually a Metal guitarist as opposed to Zakk who makes that one fucking sound with his guitar in every song.

Gus G is great. I’ve always loved Dream Evil. And yes, he’s a true metal guitarist.

But yeah, so many dudes are gay for BLS and Zach. I just don’t understand it. He’s a one trick pony as far as I’m concerned. I think BLS, like KISS, did some very clever marketing. Making sporting fan merchandise on the level with being in some fictional biker gang was just pure genius on their part. But I personally find Zach’s crap to be 95% unlistenable.

I think I’d like Zakk a lot if he’d stop playing the guitar.

This song is awesome. A great cover of one of my favorite Sabbath songs.

Zakk is a blowhard and a yawn. An overrated guitar tech who got lucky.

So true. Yet both pale compared to ICP’s army of merch guppies.

Not bad but it doesn’t redeem Zakk at all.

87

In case anyone didn’t find him annoying and unfunny enough . . .

What a steaming pile of gay.

Seriously, how fucking important is money in comparison to just keeping their shit together and getting on with the fucking job? How much more do any of them need and is it necessary to let it descend into a pissing contest of who is and isn’t the most important, and (presumably) therefore most entitled, member of Sabbath.

Fuck all of them.

The Osbornes need to get the fuck over themselves.

Bill needs to suck it up and just be happy it’s Sabbath playing together and know at least one of them’s gonna be dead within the next decade.

Anyway, you can all have Sabbath.

I’m more stoked about the way Pentagram’s been going.

A statement on their official website explained that Tony Iommi’s battle with lymphoma is responsible for the cancellations, though their appearance at Download Festival will continue as planned.

Yeah! Fuck Iommi for not wanting to tour while undergoing cancer treatment! Fucking pussy!

93

Figured his cancer was the reason for Ozzy n Pals. At least they didn’t cancel the dates altogether.

Piko: you still wanna see this faggapalooza?

Hells naw! To be completely fair, though, I’m not much of a sabbath fan nor ozzy’s. I like some sabbath, and not so much of Ozzy. I was only saying that it makes sense for them to cancel the sabbath shows because of the health issues. I’ll NEVER, and I mean NEVER in a million years, buy a ticket to watch that trainwreck. I’d go to a ministry show before I ever go to a show with Ozzy. Just doesn’t make sense nor do I see that happening.

96

I’m a big fan of Sabbath and Ozzy, but I will be the first to admit that Ozzy is indeed a complete train wreck on stage nowadays and I’ve no interest in ever seeing him perform live either. It’s just embarassing that Sharon keeps propping up his mummified ass to shake a few more dollars out of him.

Admit it, soldier, you were as hot to trot for this “reunion” as ol’ Grmpy is for the new Slash album.

You’ve just been outed, sucker.

Yes.
The guy’s got cancer. That shit happens. It killed Dio.
Don’t be an asshole.
