Celebrity deaths never hit for me, but this yanked the rug out. At least he got his honors at the tribute concert. The musicians that showed out at that concert say more about Ozzy's impact than I could ever write.
The absences are hilarious.
Judas Priest had a scheduling conflict for... The Scorpions.
Mammoth had a scheduling conflict for Creed.
"Megadeth was not invited to the event despite expressing interest."
I wonder which band wanted to get paid?!
Sad loss. "Diary of a Madman" was the first cassette I ever bought in 1982, at 12 years old. Then Bark at the Moon tour in 1984 with Motley Crue. 1986 Ultimate Sin tour with Metallica, No More Tours in 1992 with Motörhead. ~~O~~zz~~Y~~ shows always rocked.
