Ozzy Suing over Black Sabbath name

Recommended Posts

I've been following this over on Blabbermouth.

Some of the posts/comments over there have been hilarious.

 

I guess I have mixed feelings on this as I see why Tony should own the name since all of the members left the band and left him as the only person left to carry on. You can argue(as Ozzy has) that if it wasn't for him and Ozzfest that the Sabbath name would be in the toilet but on the other hand they could of never carried on over the years without Tony and we wouldn't have all of the great albums with Dio and Tony Martin. Some argue that the 4 original members should have a 25% stake in the name but what about Dio since he was a huge part of bringing the band back on the Heaven and Hell album after the very poor selling Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die plus Dio also brought them back when he rejoined for Dehumanizer. Plus when you take into account what their doing as Heaven&Hell then maybe Dio should get a small stake in the name if it's getting split up.

Anyone care to wager that the sea hag (aka Sharon) was the one behind this lawsuit? Let me get this straight - the Osbournes, who screwed Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake out of millions in royalties, are claiming to be the good guys in this suit? Fuck that noise. They're a pair of addle-minded, money-grubbing, unscrupulous, greedy assholes. Oh, they're the ultimate media whores, too. Maybe they can settle it like the squabbles between Tony and Ozzy in their school days when Iommi used to punch out Ozzy on a regular basis?

Your comment about Sharon and how they screwed Daisly and Kerslake is exactly what everyone was talking about over at Blabbermouth and I agree 1000%. Ozzy or should I Sharon sees how the Dio fronted lineup is doing and as of right now how they don't need or better yet want Ozzy around to be successful so she now wants the Sabbath name. What is Ozzy gonna do if he wins? Grab Bill and a different Guitar and Bass player and call it Sabbath? What greed.

 

I think Iommi should pull what John Fogerty's old label did and sue Ozzy for having solo material that sounds to close to Sabbath and demand a % of all royalties from Ozzy solo material. Now that would be hilarious. :lol:

 

Or better yet replace Ozzy's voice on all of the old Sabbath albums with Dio's voice.

Sharon's a greedy bitch, and she can kid herself all she wants about being a smart businesswoman, she's just a fucking gold digger plain and simple. Living off Ozzy's career, but not limiting herself to just his, but also trying to live off of Iommi's, Daisley's, Kerslake's career as well... class act... not. <_<

"The new law of evolution in corporate America seems to be survival of the unfittest. Well, in my book you either do it right or you get eliminated.

 

In the last seven deals that I've been involved with, there were 2.5 million stockholders who have made a pretax profit of 12 billion dollars. Thank you.

 

I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them!

 

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed -- for lack of a better word -- is good.

 

Greed is right.

 

Greed works.

 

Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

 

Greed, in all of its forms -- greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge -- has marked the upward surge of mankind.

 

And greed -- you mark my words -- will not only save ____________________, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

 

Thank you very much."

 

 

 

 

You say greed as if it is a bad thing... :) Thanks Gordan Gekko.

 

Seriously, we know Ozzy is a frizzle fried puppet to his ever so lovely, innocent and devoted wife. (she is ruthless, no lie.)

 

But to interject logic and sense to the discussion, 4 guys recorded the Sabbath stuff, be-it Ozzy, Dio, Martin, Gillan on vox and logic and sense says that unless you were a pay for play studio/live hack than you should get you fair (see fair) share.

 

I think the whole re-recording w/o Ozzy angle would be brilliant and talk about a slap in the face. :)

 

RJD is my fave of the lot, but would it not be cool to re-record the old Sabbath stuff with a gaggle of guest singers?

Quite frankly, in my opinion, there was only one Sabbath, and the band finished when Ozzy left.

If Iommi re-recorded them with anyone else, then he would be no better than Sharon Osbourne, and I wouldnt piss on the re-recorded albums if they were on fire.

 

I dont care who is right or wrong in this, but nobody but nobody should piss on the legacy of the real Black Sabbath.

I totally agree Pete. Ozzy is simply a puppet with Sharon pulling the strings. She's a road whore that has nothing to do with Sabbath and should stay the fuck out it. But she won't do that because $ is involved. As if tampering with the classic Ozzy albums was not enough. :2up:

I hated that fuckin' whore ever since she pulled that shit with IRON MAIDEN. :doh:

I hope sharon gets a rectal disease from a cow. :eek:

 

Backed and I'll also say that after that fiasco and what Zakk Wylde said about Bruce Dickinson saying "Act like a Cunt get treated like a Cunt", I've hardly played any of my BLS or Zakk solo discs.

Yeah Sharon got Daisley and kerslake off the original Blizzard album. The only one you can get new is the remixed one now. It's a disgrace.

    • Another Robert Mason post, but this time I really do feel a connection with it. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but my name is Dustin.  Everybody calls me Dusty, so when I saw the new Warrant album (Rockaholic) featured not only one of my favourite vocalists, but also included a track called Dusty's Revenge, I couldn't believe it. I then find out that it's a concept album about a "Rockaholic" called Dusty. For obvious reasons, I love this album. Here's a couple of tracks.      
    • Harpsichord.    I thought of it and it was random, so there you go.
    • From their FB page: Alcatrazz wish to make the following announcement: Back in late 2020 the brilliant Doogie White came in to help us out with our then already booked live dates after the departure of the previous vocalist (those dates were ultimately postponed to late 2021 due to the Covid lockdowns). We all had a GREAT time...and thus, one thing led to another and before we knew it we had made two fantastic albums and toured considerably in a nearly 4 year period. Now our schedule is getting busier and busier, as is Doogie's with his very fine solo work... and with that, the inevitable clashing of dates in our respective diaries, and needless to say, the impossibility of him being able to be in two places at one time. We remain on very very good terms with Doogie and cannot thank him enough for his contributions to the band, he is very welcome on our stage anytime, as are all past Alcatrazz alumni. Current Warlord vocalist and someone already known to many Alcatrazz fans (as co-producer and also contributing songwriter for Alcatrazz's past 3 albums) Giles Lavery will be stepping up for the 2024 live dates - and with that we will be reintroducing many songs from the Alcatrazz past, including some not played in many years. Giles's first show is 22nd of March in New Orleans, lets all make him feel welcome and please lets also give a massive thank you to our dear friend Doogie White for everything he gave to this band since 2020, he is a true pro and a great person! Doogie has a video message to the fans that we will share later today as well. Jimmy, Gary, Joe, Larry.
    • Maybe it's because I've heard GnR a couple thousand times by now, but I much prefer "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver over "Sweet Child o Mine" at this point in my life.   
    • I'll have to investigate that Durbin. I'd count Striker and Mick Mars among the best metal releases as well now that I think about it. 
    • Haven't picked up Saxon yet, but as far as metal goes, I love the new Durbin album as well.
    • I wasn’t thrilled with the singles as they came out, other than “The Serpent and the King”, but I’ll be damned if they haven’t grown on me while listening to them as part of the cohesive package that is “Invincible Shield”. I broke down and picked up the Target exclusive to get the three bonus tracks, and I enjoy them too. Overall, a damn fine addition to the JP discography. Is it better than “Firepower“? I’m not there yet, but time will tell. 🤔 This one and Saxon have set the bar pretty high for metal this year. 👍
    • Agree with this. Though I think you should check out Firepower. You can get it real cheap new everywhere. It is molten. I'm also enjoying Invincible very much and 2024 new music as a whole.
    • I remember my early days on the internet joining a group on Yahoo (yeah thats how long ago it was) and the woman who created the group was trying to persaude me how great Creed was, so much so that she sent me the first two albums on CD. I had no idea what they sounded like. When I played them all I could think is that they sounded like Pearl Jam, and I fucking hate Pearl Jam. I ended up trading them for something better. I can't remember the ins and outs of it, but I somehow shared my CD collection online and she noticed straight away that the Creed CDs were not listed. She asked me why and I said I sold them as really did not like them, and got something I did like. She never spoke to me again after that
