Music as it will be the format of Black Sabbath’s farewell, according to Zakk Wylde

That the farewell event of the Black Sabbath, Back to the beginningit will be a great and deserved party in honor of the parents of Heavy Metal, there is no doubt. But how will the format and dynamics of the festival go?

It is possible that all the details are only known to two people, Sharon Osbourne and the artistic director Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine). However, the guitarist Zakk Wylde offered some previous information.

According to the musician, founder of Black Label Society and also a member of the Solo Band Ozzy Osbourneit is likely that each artist combines a little of his material with a song from the Black Sabbath. THE Rolling Stone USAhe commented:

“I think all the bands will do … Let’s say, if they play three or four songs, they’ll play two or three of their songs and then one of Sabbath. I think that’s what everyone is doing. Everyone will pay tribute to Sabbath, and then let’s sit down and watch Sabbath at the end of the night, watch them rock.”

The function of Tom Morello

Wylde said the division of the Sabbath repertoire was in charge of Morello. The concern was not to repeat songs and prevent some band from playing what the heads of Heavy Metal will play in their performance, the festival’s grand finale.

“I think the tone is trying to make sure everyone has their own music to play. And then you have to choose. Sabbath has a lot of amazing songs to choose from. It would be great if everyone just sang ‘Iron Man ‘. (Laughter). But then it would be 12 hours just ‘Iron Man’. “

Finally, Black Sabbath

And when Sabbath takes the stage at the end of the night, Zakk assured that he will be there to watch closely:

“Basically, only the four. I think everyone will be up there on the stage watching. I mean, how not to watch? I think it will be a really amazing moment.”

Back to the beginning format

In February, when Back to the beginning It was announced, Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife and businesswoman, had also provided some information. And hits what was said by Zakk Wylde.

She told NME (via Igor Miranda website):

“It starts in the middle of the day, so you’ll see an icon playing with another icon, playing a Sabbath song and one or two of them, and people playing with others that you never thought would see. Tom Morello will play with the drummer Tool (Danny Carey) And they will have Billy Corgan (Frontman do SMASHING PUMPKINS) With them – they are all ChicagoThen they will understand each other. “

At the time, Tony Iommi It also manifested itself. The Sabbath guitarist, even because of his age (77), said he will not be at the event all day, but fans will enjoy all the shows a lot:

“It will be a big event to be with everyone. I won’t be there all day, this is sure. It will be great that they will all be there for us.”
