Black Sabbath announce final show

Oooo I would have loved to be there…
Also with …More big names will be in action during the benefit concert in Birmingham, such as

Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Gojira and Anthrax. Guitarist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine is also present. He promises it will be the ā€œbiggest heavy metal show everā€.

I wonder if things will work out oke with Ozzy himself…but it will certainly be a special day…

Have fun if you could be there :sunglasses:

Wouldn’t step in that ā€˜football’ ground if you paid me.

I would go in a heart beat. That would be incredible to see.

I admit, I would be chilling in the seats with the rest of the Gen Xers but yeah i would go for sure if it was in the USA.

Was a bit gutted to hear this yesterday, as I was at their (supposedly) final ever gig at Birmingham on ā€˜The End’ tour - 4th Feb 2017.

Inevitable really that they would be performing again at some point, and obviously having Bill Ward involved this time around is the ā€˜sweetener’ for the fans. I also expect this latest ā€œFINAL EVERā€ date also won’t end up being their last either…

I won’t be looking to go to this one. It was ā€˜ok’ last time but there’s far better bands out there these day for a lot less money.

Hi Pete,
Ha ha, have you been paying attention for the last 60 years when going then (?)… even if the only really important person from a band (who is theband) is dead, that doesn’t say anything about if they played the last time :roll_eyes:

But what I often see as raking in money for themselves, I always think is something different when it is a benefit concert, and in this case you will get a lot more bands and Artists then only Ozzy and his band :sunglasses:…

A kind of Monsters Of Rock + … maybe I see them too in the past (blank Sabbath) (it must be) I have been to many in the past, I just can’t find those tickets that I have seen (and my memory was apparently a bit foggy at the time :roll_eyes:)

Greetings

I fully understand how these things work unfortunately! :wink:
I think that with Sharon being involved there’ll be plenty more opportunities to make future dollar for the Sabbath name, no matter what condition Ozzy is in (alive or not :face_with_peeking_eye:)

I’m not a massive fan of festival/benefit concerts, even though I used to be able to hear the speakers from Monsters of Rock / Download from my parents house!

I saw Sabbath maybe about 10 years ago. I was quite concerned before the show that Ozzy would be well beyond his best and that I’d be seeing a second rate performance from a has-been. As it was, the show was excellent and none of my fears were realised. I decided though that I was quitting while I was ahead with regards to seeing Sabbath live.

I so wish I could be there, but with airfare from the states being well over $1000 it simply isn’t possible. It would be amazing to see the four of them together for the last show, even if Ozzy is sitting and not able to stand. This is something he needs to do for himself and his fans ! It’ll be an awesome show !!!
