During Tuesday 22, Netizens accused a place of Iron Maiden, who, unlike several other rock icons and Heavy Metal, had not published anything in homage to Osbourne. It was hypothesized that silence would be related to the disagreement between Sharon, widow and entrepreneur of the artist and the group, in particular his singer, Bruce Dickinson. Remember below.
The bullshit
In 2005, Maiden was one of the main attractions of OzzfestThe travel festival promoted by Ozzy and Sharon between 1996 and 2018. Sabbath Black, Black Label Society, Slipknot, Velvet revolver, In flames, Mudvayne, Rob Zombie, Killswitch is committed to, Mastodon, Arch enemyAmong others, they also made part of the formation.
Those who gave reason to confusion at the beginning was Dickinson. His band performed 24 shows in the shared tour – and according to reports, on several occasions, the singer has made controversial comments to the public, in particular at the reality show “The Osbournes”recited by the family who organized the event. It is worth remembering that the final episode had been shown MTV Shortly before.
Sharon said to Billboard On what happened:
“It was just the singer. The other guys from the band are fantastic people. No problem. But when you have such an envious singer of the main attraction, it never goes well.”
In the final show to present the iron, in the American city of San Bernardino, on August 20, the Matriarch of Osbournes simply organized a shower of eggs towards Bruce. He said what he did:
“I had been a treatment against California and all the nurse that I met during my year of chemotherapy came to the show and I said:” Can we do something for you? “And I said:” Yes, you can “I filled them with cans of beans, vegetables, eggs and I said:” Shoot in the singer “. And that’s what they did.
Bruce Dickinson’s sabotage and reaction
Even before the “bombing”, the Iron Maiden Show was the target of sabotage. The lights and the sound were damaged on various occasions and the band had to retire. Sharon even went on stage shortly after to try to explain what had just happened.
When eggs and other things began to be launched during the execution of “The soldier”Bruce Dickinson’s reaction was the following:
“You may have noticed some stupid essays that decided that they would go to the supermarket and bought some damned eggs to play in us. I think they would be fun. But this is a p*rra of an English flag and we will not run, your idiots! If you see someone who plays a little M*RDA in this band and raise your arm, make sure that when you go down, you are in two pieces?”
The public vision
Shawn “Clown” CrahanPercussionist Slipknot who looked at the show and soon realized that something strange was happening. It didn’t spend much time before it was a struggle between the characters already mentioned.
“Slipknot played in that show. I was very close to the front of the stage and I saw everything start to happen. I saw the people go out and I felt that something was happening. And I heard:” There are many English things that happen here ” [em referência à nacionalidade de Ozzy, Sharon e Bruce]. It seemed very personal and very serious. I thought: “I probably shouldn’t be here …” and left. “
Two decades later
The situation is still commented today by Sharon Osbourne every time there is the opportunity, referring to Bruce Dickinson as “that man” or “Mascalzone”. Ozzy speaks less on the subject, but continues to support his wife. He says:
“Him [Bruce] He jumped on stage, went to public every night and said bad things. It was disrespectful. “I can’t take these lights from the c*reoro” and everything else. If you don’t want to take the show, you just say: “I don’t want to do the show”. But it’s very stupid if you accept and everything you do is complain. “
Even the original Black Sabbath singer commented on what happened The quietus (Via Blaro) in 2010:
“Unfortunately, the rest of the band had to suffer: I think they were angry with him. But it’s wrong: I never talked to the boy … No, one, one night they were about to get on stage, I didn’t know what was going on, then I told them:” I don’t like everything. He is an asshole. “
In turn, Bruce Dickinson prefers to put warm clothes. In 2017, a Nme (Via Blaro), Iron Maiden’s singer stressed that his problem is only with reality shows.
“It is a complete storm in a glass of water. I grew up listening to the beginning of Sabbath with Ozzy. Ozzy and Sabbath are icons, so it’s all, the end of the story. The fact that I don’t like reality shows … well, I don’t also give the Kardashian a damned.”
Ozzy Osbourne even said the bassist Steve Harris Sorry for Bruce Dickinson’s behavior at that moment. However, Maiden’s leader denied. Subsequently, the parties directly involved in the conflict did not meet, nor did they portray.
