Ozzy RIP

[Bürggermeister]

RTE are Team Sabbath all of a sudden. Nice article, from the same time I was going through the same thing, and the mention of the Blue Garden gets a doff of the cap from me.

"GUYS WE NEED SITE TRAFFIC WITH THE OSBOURNES GUY,WE NEED AD REVENUE TO BUY MORE FLIP FLOPS"

I think the guy that wrote that is the same fella that won the Sepultura competition on the Headbangers Ball.

[The Great Cull]

Harry Gueran has been the only person at RTE who knows his stuff on anything metal related. They normally just don't let him near that stuff most of the time.

[Snare]

What Sepultura competition was that?

Saw the RTÉ article earlier, nice tribute all the same.

There was a "win a trip to Sweden and hang out with the band" comp on the Ball when they did the first euro tour for Roots.

Six weeks after Ozzy Osbourne's death, Roger Waters has criticized the heavy metal legend for bringing "hundreds of years" of "idiocy and nonsense" into the culture

Waters has no filter.
Very disrespectful.

Jack Osbourne: "... My father always thought you were a cunt - thanks for proving him right."

[Bürggermeister]

As often happens, Waters has a valid point to make but does so rather clumsily.

It's ironic that Jack, (who has achieved what of note as his own man, exactly?) accuses Waters of generating attention through the media "hit back with the Instagram Stories message"... beautifully illustrates the point Waters was trying to make... I mean... just fuck this world we live in. Fuck it to death.

[Emphyrio]

I don't see much of a valid point tbh. Waters has turned into a smug prick. Probably always was and I say that as a huge admirer of his music. They way he's so dismissive of Ozzy and Sabbath.. he's just so up his own hole. He reminds me of Piers Morgan, who funnily enough made shit of Waters on his podcast a while back.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Yeah, an absolute embittered smug mook. I wouldn't pay attention to him on anything, not even the quite a few political topics we happen to face the same direction on, let alone heavy metal.

[Anvil]

Stuck up 81 year old man says he doesn't like Black Sabbath... Oh no, what ever shall we ever do! 

What I can agree on is that Jack Osbourne should have been aborted.

[Bürggermeister]

No doubt he's a cunt but it still doesn't stop him being on the money (pun intended) every now and then, regardless of how crassly he puts the point across. The point of fascination with celebrity culture as a means to distract, carefully snipped out of context into a clickbait article designed to outrage, and here we are discussing the social media response of a lad whose greatest achievement was getting shot at speed out of Ozzy Osbourne's cock, it's fucking beautiful.

Let's not forget, up until recently Ozzy's presence in the mainstream was as a bumbling, mumbling oaf, carefully curated by his own fucking wife most likely to create media careers for her and the kids. The Ozzy-as-legend thing is only a recent spin, to those outside the Metal Circle.

[Pentagrimes]

Yeah, an absolute embittered smug mook. I wouldn't pay attention to him on anything, not even the quite a few political topics we happen to face the same direction on, let alone heavy metal.

All of this.

Also fuck Pink Floyd forever

I ain't in that "we" 

[Bürggermeister]

Is that a typo, "we" or "wee"?
