Ozzy Osbourne Rants Against Bruce Dickinson

I think he's a pathetic wash up who should have retired about 15 years ago.

And his wife is a bitch.

That's what I think.
 
I've never, ever, ever spoken to the guy

So i guess that Bruce lied, when he told that story of them (him and Ozzy) plotting to nick a cab one drunken night. That was on Clarkson in 1996, i believe.
But this is really funny :

I really think he needs a fuckin' psychiatrist if he does that, he's fucking nuts.

Ahahaha, was Ozzy looking at the mirror?  :D

In any case, Bruce was right in his rants, about one of metal's biggest icons having a reality show on television that was the main propaganda wheel in '90s metal de-popularization. But he wasn't right about place and time. Honestly, he should have ranted about that in mid '90s when it was happening. Not in 2005, and certainly not while playing on festival that honors his rant subject.
 
To be fair, Bruce was taking cheap shots at Ozzy on stage.  I can't say I disagree with him.  It's not like Bruce was going behind his back, he was doing it on stage in front of thousands.  I agree with Bruce's stance on things, but Ozzy has a right to be upset about it.  That being said, they should have pulled Bruce aside and had it out with him, not ruin their gig at the last date.  Also, talking about how much money Maiden's getting is a non-issue....they're fucking rich.  They don't need money.  Bruce had no right to make fun of Ozzy on his own tour, though I agree with his points, but Sharon had MUCH less of a right to trash the gig for the band and the fans of the show.  No one's a winner here, except for perhaps Steve and Ozzy themselves.
 
I mostly agree with you. I think Ozzy had a right to be pissed off, but that doesn't really mean Sharon had to get involved. There's a certain irony in complaining about someone rubbishing you behind your back, and not batting an eyelid when your wife starts pelting them with eggs on your behalf...

On the other hand, how did Ozzy NOT know wtf was going on with Bruce's rants?  How do you NOT tune in to your own festival?  Again, it's not like things were said behind closed doors.
 
He seems fairly articulate when reading what he has to say, but hearing it....my lord that man makes no sense at all.  Ozzy plainly lives in his own world.  And he lives alone.
 
First of all, I want to know what Bruce said on stage 'cos I don't remember seeing or listening him bashing Ozzy. What I find weird is that on the Ozzfest T-Shirt, long before the tour started, Iron Maiden name was on the bottom of the back of the T-Shirt with its name written in fucking japanese and with a sign of forbidden (like transit post sings) in it. If the problem was onstage, why Maiden was already being dissed long before they landed for the Ozzfest? And another thing, after the eggfest happened, more than half of the public left 'cos Maiden was blowing everyone off stage. I think Bruce said that reality shows were pathetic to watch, and really are. In my opinion, it was pure envy they have about Maiden.

I agree 100% with what this guy called hallowed be my name, posted on Blabbermoth:

"In NJ for Maiden. Was planning to leave after Maiden, no desire to see washed up Ozzy. News broke that Ozzy was ill and the crowd started chanting Maiden. I'de venture to say 75% of the people there, in 105 degree heat wave, were there for Maiden.

2nd, Bruce had comments about Reality TV and how it's destroying kids brains with useless junk. he still does to this day. How is he wrong? You guys call Bruce a dick, a diva whatever, why? Cause he is blunt, to the point and factual? grow up haters.

Bruce is an author, a world class fencer, a pilot, a move director a former radio host, and sings for 1 of the, if not, the greatest Metal band in the world. Hate all you want Bitches, I don't think he cares.

Anyone who sides with Ozzy & his biotch of a wife on this are morons. I have 12 bootlegs from that Maiden tour & never once did Bruce call out Ozzy. he was speaking in genarlities. The GREAT MUSICIANS in this case are the sensitive bitches with a guilty conscious who took offense. You Sharon. The ONLY time Bruce mentioned Ozzy by name was as a get well wish for every show he cancelled like he did in NJ.

You should be thankful Maiden saved your ass that summer.
 
If I remember correctly, Bruce made alot of off hand comments about reality TV that people took as indirect stabs at the Osbournes...which they were.  Again, I completely agree with Bruce, but also understand Ozzy being upset.  Of course, Ozzy should have paid attention to his own tour, and not left it to the devices of a shrew of a wife who ruined the show for the band and fans alike.
 
You can both agree with Bruce's ideas and also think he's a fucking dipshit for saying it indirectly to the guy whose tour he's on and who is directly or indirectly responsible for him getting paid on said tour.

Of course this is metal so either Ozzy has to fucking suck or Bruce has to fucking suck.

Keep in mind that by all accounts the rest of Iron Maiden get aggravated with Bruce's bullshit from time to time so it's not as if calling him out is somehow disparaging the band.
Also "Ozzy Rants Against Bruce" is a pretty misleading headline.
 
As I said, why long before the tour Iron Maiden's name is under a forbidden sign, written in japanese? I think they knew they were going to be blown off stage by Maiden and Bruce always says what it has to be said, specially in usa. I think people are really afraid of the truth. Living in a bubble is easier. Pathetic.
 
-IF- Bruce was taking stabs at Ozzy I think that Ozzy has a valid point.
BUT I agree with Bruce, and from what I see I think he didn't really say anything about Ozzy.

Sharon's still a bitch though.
 
I agree with some of the points Bruce made, but I don't think he chose the right time to make those remarks. If you are on a tour run by one of rock/metal's most famous singers, the least you could do is respect him while on stage. However, Sharon was a complete bitch for her retaliation.

Also, Blabbermouth has the most misleading titles ever. They covered this story today and the title was:

"Ozzy: 'Bruce Dickinson is a c**t'" or something along those lines.
 
To be fair, people are more likely to stop and read that interview with that title, than opposed to if the title was true to it's source and something like "Ozzy...not that remarkable."  :bigsmile:
 
Well it took some balls for Bruce to take shots at Ozzy on the Ozzfest tour. And stupidity to some extent. But it shows how many people went for Maiden that eh wasn't booed offstage.

And it only added insult to injury when it took Ozzy forever to figure it out, showing that he doesn't even pay attention to his own festival.
 
People must get their facts together - Bruce never mentioned Ozzy's name when criticising media and reality shows. He always criticizes the crap around the world, always did. Only time he mentioned Ozzy's name was to wish a good recovery when Ozzy had some sickness mid-tour.
 
Oh man the amount of retrofitting the story is fun here.  Sure Bruce was talking about how shitty reality TV is, right at the time when the top reality show was Ozzy's, but nothing to see here, Bruce was just innocently talking about the genre in general!  He definitely was in no way insulting the man who was paying him to perform!
