Actually I figured that the most likely reason for Maiden's non-inclusion would have been that they were playing in Madrid that day?

Was there any Megadeth representation? Or had Dave M fallen out with them? (I assume both parties must be acquainted).

Dave Ellefson was in Morello’s all-star troupe, but no current members were there AFAIK.
Maybe Megadeth was the mystery band that tried to insist on being paid to participate…? You never know.

But Bruce is the only Maiden member you ever see do appearances like this. If anyone, I actually think it could be Steve who has a Maiden vs the world attitude in his bubble. I can't recall seeing him perform anything that isn't Maiden (or British Lion). Not since the 80s at least.
Bruce has done several tribute concerts and concerts for charity
I don't understand this obsession with Iron Maiden not being there. They were busy, they were on tour, and Sharon hates them. What's the mystery here?

The closest Maiden has been in a similar setting was during their performance in L.A. in Flight 666. Ronnie James Dio, Kerry King, Chris Jericho, Tom Morello, Lars Ulrich, Scott Ian among others can be seen.
I like how during one scene, when Dave is talking to someone, Steve can be seen prompting "let's go" or something like that. LOL!

He did join Blaze on stage in december 2000 for Man on the edge, but it’s still kind of Maiden thought

Good, bad, ugly.
The Good: hearing bands like Slayer, Tool, Metallica, Anthrax, and others cover Black Sabbath songs.
Spirit of celebration for the contributions Sabbath made to music.
The 3 founding instrumental players sounded great. Bill Ward and Geezer Butler in particular.
The Bad: It was sad to see Ozzy so frail and, knowing Tony is also in poor health, although not as visibly, the show being their last underscored the realities of mortality.
The Ugly:
During the 2016 tour and Ward’s contract scuffle, his health and ability were brought up as a reason for not including him. 9 years later, Bill sounded awesome, albeit for a short set at one show. I call shenanigans on the band’s attempt to cast doubt on Bill’s ability. IMO, Sabbath’s best early work was that when Bill jazzed up the drum kit. He’s owed more credit than he’s often given.
I applaud GNR’s selection of tracks from Never Say Die and Technical Ecstasy, but they sounded crap, IMO. Between Axl’s voice being gone and Slash’s guitar turned up to drown him out, it was a risible performance.
Overall, while I approve of any tribute or accolades given to the founding Sabbath members, as a show, their performance was sad rather than entertaining.
The tribute covers were good, however, and it was great to hear Geezer, Tony, and Bill in such good form. I like to remember Ozzy as he was. Such an unlikely rock legend, with a completely different vocal style than others of his era, and yet he helped define an entire genre of music.
