Don't remember any of the press releases saying he would... where did you see that?

I didn't realize Ozzy only had 2 friends.

But seriously, that is a pretty awesome setlist.

Also, hell yes.

I wonder if Zakk is replacing Gus on the songs he plays on, or they're playing together. Not that it would make much difference seeing as Gus just copies Zakk's playing note for note.

There are only three scheduled to be on the whole tour. The third is Slash, and he'll only appear when he's playing a festival on the same day as Ozz.

Now that I think about it, Graspop was the only news source to talk about a special Sabbath set... if I end up going to Lamb of God only to find out he did end up doing a special Sabbath set...

Ay men

Looking forward to this, hopefully with Slash in the ranks he tosses up the setlist a little bit more.

I wouldn't be skipping him either... I just wouldn't make the effort to come early to get a good spot.

Ozzy is nowhere even close to being shitty 80s radio metal. Trust me, there was a lot worse stuff played on the radio back then that was considered metal that harmed the genre a lot more than anything Ozzy did. Yeah, Ozzy had a lot of hits but he how many of those songs back then can you really consider commercial radio metal?
