Whoa...
It's 4:00 A.M. on the dot...and I am still awake, still bored. This entry is really pointless, and no one should read it...but I'm super bored and it'll save me from boredom. And I wish I could have seen this fight. I love Maiden and Sabbath for fucking life.
Me being the HUGE follower of Ozzfest and the bands, I read this article in the Ozzfest news posted by Sharon saying Bruce is a prick, disrespecting Ozzy and Ozzfest from day one...but one thing...I was THERE day one...and I heard him say those things...and...I don't think they were directed to Ozzy at all, and, of course, Maiden rocked the cock. Now, all who know me know that when people diss Ozzy, I get pissed. It's always been that way and it won't change. So yeah, I wanted a second opinion. I found PLENTY of articles and even soundclips of the fight (awesome soundclips.) It's NUTS. So Sharon is pissed off,saying Bruce is trying to "ruin" Ozzfest. But Sharon fucked up big time and handled it all wrong. Apparently Maiden's set for their last day at Ozzfest was completely fucking sabotaged. The Ozzfest camp threw Eggs at Maiden, constantly unplugged their PA's, turned off Bruce's mic and then turned on someone else's who was chanting Ozzy. Sharon constantly bitched that the British flag Bruce waved during The Trooper, a tradition since the 80's, was disrespectful for some reason, and so some guy with an American flag and a DONT FUCK WITH OZZY shirt paraded onstage during the set. Someone spit on Bruce and threw beer on him. So Bruce constantly buffeted insults to them, and even once said somethings about reality TV, probably directed to Sharon and not Ozzy. Then Bruce responded with:
We have got an abbreviated set tonight, we're gonna have a 55 minute set instead of a 1 hour show for ya. But just like [?] somebody else said... IF YOU CANT DRIVE 55, WE CANT FUCKING PLAY 55, SO FUCK THAT SHIT, WERE GONNA FUCKIN PLAY! And you may have noticed...you may have noticed... a few wise asses decided that they would go down to the supermarket, buy a few fuckin' eggs, and start throwing at us down in front. I guess [?] but my friends, this is an English fuckin' flag, AND THESE COLORS DO NOT FUCKIN' RUN FROM YOU ASSWIPES. Because we know, we know, that there's a whole bunch of Iron Maiden fans out there that came to see us. So all I will suggest, is that if you see somebody throwing some shit at this band, which incidentally, Nicko is cleaning off his drum kit at the moment so that we can continue the concert. If you see somebody throwing some shit at this band, when they raise their arm, make sure that when it goes down, it's in two fuckin' pieces for me.
As you might gather, we're not from America, we're from England. [Crowd screams and drowns out Bruce] the constitution that you have, but I do recall somewhere from all the history books and stuff, that yours starts with something like, we the people, isn't it? But the reason we're here tonight, the reason we're back onstage after some fuckin' asswipes tried to switch our PA off 3 or 4 times during the show... the reason we're back here because somebody, oh, just accidently-on-purpose happened to come up with, uh, 36 eggs before the show, what an accident. That wasn't planned at all, was it? The reason we're back here tonight, the reason we're back here now, is because YOU, THE FUCKING PEOPLE... AND THERE IS NOTHING, THERE IS FUCKING NOTHING, THAT WILL GET IN BETWEEN IRON MAIDEN AND THE FUCKING IRON MAIDEN AUDIENCE THAT IS HERE TONIGHT! FUCKING DEATH BEFORE FUCKING DISHONOUR OF OUR FANS!
And then Sharon came on, but was boo-ed constantly and had shit thrown at her:
Listen...[Boo's] Quiet for one minute...I take this opportunity to thank Iron Maiden and their crew...their crew and the band are unbelievable and we love them. But there's just one thing...the singer, Bruce Dickinson, is a PRICK. [Loud boo-ing.] Disrespected the Ozzfest from [boos] minute he got here. Let me tell you something...We have given him
[chokes up] to play towards...please...[indistinguishable]...I want to hear it for Iron Maiden, they're great...please.
