Black Sabbath are BACK for the final time, the last tour, EVER. You know the legends in the band, Ozzy, Tony, Geezer, and not Bill Ward, some fill in dude from Ozzy’s band. Yep, remember, Ozzy had words with Bill over his inability to play well, therefore, he was jettisoned from the reunion tour. Bill was also pissed off about money, as Sharon Osbourne made sure that Ozzy was more than taken care on this final trek. Well, the first show is in the books, and……well, Ozzy sang like poo.
Yep, the videos on YouTube don’t lie. Ozzy sounded out of key, with low energy, and not loud enough during their first show in Omaha, Nebraska (“Omaha!”, where’s Peyton Manning?) Fans were reportedly respectful, but it’s pretty obvious that Ozzy is either just out of tune, high, or father time has just caught up with our master of darkness. Oh’ well. The band sounded great, especially Iommi, who blazed on guitar. The ironic part of this is that Ozzy was so critical of Ward, and his inability to play. Perhaps Ozz should check himself at the door, and not be so critical! Anyway, Sabbath is off and running!
