I'm not a big Ozzy fan but I missed out on seeing Rob Zombie last summer when he was in Saskatoon so I'll be getting tickets for the Winnipeg show hopefully.

He was absolutely horrible when I saw him last month. My friends and I left after the second song. As much as I hate to say it, it's time for Ozzy to hang it up.

This is true. I've seen Ozzy several times over the past ~15 years and each show was a poorer performance than the previous. He lacks the energy and intensity that he used to possess. Newer material lacks the same. I wont be bothered to drive to Edmonton for this one.

On Eddie Trunk's weekly show - he had nothing good to say about Ozfest at all - basically send it was a huge cluster****. The mix of bands is horrible and the crowd really wasn't into the shows at all

It was ... well .. pretty much exactly that. I'm not sorry I went, because it was only two hours' drive and the tickets were free(plus I got to see Hatebreed again and see Static X). However, I won't go to another Ozzfest.

Ozzy's concert in Calgary 5 years ago ranks among one of the worst concerts that I've ever been to.

I will never pay to see Ozzy again. I've seen him twice, and the opening acts stole the show both times. He's good to see once, but not twice, and certainly not three times.

Winsor_Pilates · 09-07-2007, 02:24 PM

sounds like a crappy show.
on a brighter note, I'm goin to Kanye!!!

I won't bother seeing Ozzy live again as long as that poseur Zakk Wyld is playing for him.

Bring back Joe Holmes.

Ozzy was the first major concert I ever saw, and I saw him when he was here on his 'retirement sucks tour' after the release of Ozzmosis. 95 I believe, maybe 96. Was a great show, nearly three hours not including the opening band, (which was Filter). He played a lot of Sabbath. He kept leaving to go back stage during the show and I found out later he was sick as a dog and kept going back to throw up, but he still played an awesome and long show for us.

But yeah, 10-12 years later, I could see it not being as good as it was. And I thought I was catching him at the end of his carrer, then.
