Not particularly a fan of theirs, but my first thought on seeing your post was....Quote:

Budgie supported by Judas Priest at Barry Memorial Hall was my first gig a few months earlier - and for the grand sum of 50p.
I went to see the ornithological flock rather than the derivative and deviant ecclesiastical bunch supporting them (and who, I thought, would also sink below the waves).
Sharon Osbourne is a right old shockerQuote:

AIC to my ears anyway, were the only half decent band to come out of the Grunge movementQuote:

Yes, but why do you like Slayer and the perennial awful Pantera? What is there possibly to like about a band where the lead vocalist sounds like he has had a red hot poker shoved up his **** just prior to going onstage, and the band just make a god-awful racket?Quote:

Back in those days, I did like the 2 albums Dio made with Sabbath. Those two were much better than their '76 release from the band
Ozzy will be performing sitting down, I understand.Quote:

But this is just a bit of a circus really
It's about taste isn't it ?
I think DIO was a dungeons and dragons midget , albeit with a powerful voice
I liked The Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell but Sabotage basically invented metal , Sabbath 70 to 76 were unstoppable and people into metal always refer back to them
Soundgarden were not a Grunge band .....they were a heavy rock band in the Led Zep school
Pantera and Slayer was all about the power and sometimes someone with a musically great voice just doesn't fit into a heavy style ......dimebag darrel was an incredible guitarist and changed metal from all the poodle haired and make up style , started by van halen but copied by poison and other rubbish .....to heavy riffing with a groove
Slayer after their first few albums of silly fret wanking slowed things down like sabbath and that's why they were such a success
I liked the 70s rock like rainbow , purple , uriah heep , whitesnake etc but it wasn't heavy enough
That's my opinion

The power might be too much for some , that's fine but it's not screaming nonsense with guitar solos so fast it's silly ��

Now for some people you mention heavy rock or metal and they back away and think it's all screaming and fast guitar but the best stuff is slow yet powerful
Lamb of God do some amazing guitar riffs but it's spoilt by silly grunting by the lead singer ....I am with you on that , not my thing
Well we all get there in the end
I suppose that singing 'Iron Man' whilst wearing calipers would work.Quote:

See! we can have a normal thread without arguing about who killed who.
I'm pretty sure I was there. I saw them twice in the Capitol in the early 70's. The first gig was great but the second was beset by technical issues, which ruined the continuity of their performance.Quote:

Phil's voice has always been about power rather than finesse, although his vocals on some of Down's stuff is surprisingly melodic.
Each to their own though, of course.
As for Sabbath, everyone's talking about the state of Ozzy when all I could think was how good Geezer Butler still is. Looks like he could smash out a world tour with no issues.
