Why Ozzfest 2010 had so few bands

[IbanezJS]

Oh give me a fucking break. Iron Maiden went like 5 minutes later than what they were supposed to, I'm sure they weren't making Sharon go broke. You wanna talk about disrespectful, how about giving a legendary band like Iron Maiden barely an hour to play? Seriously having eggs thrown at him and calling him a prick on stage? Grow the fuck up.

Again every extra minute your on stage takes away from another band. And that was SABBATH's set time. A band WAY bigger then Maiden. Hell they started metal in the first place. I call that disrespectful. Plus they were given a 55 minute set time. That's just under an hour. If a shows stays longer then schedualed then venue can get pissed off with you and she has to deal with all the BS. Which means it can lead to them being banned from that venue. And frankly, HE IS A PRICK! Bashing her husband, her family, her tour. And despite what you may think. She is a wife and mother first and a manager second. My Mom would have done the same thing. Your telling me to grow up? I think you need to realize whats right and wrong. What Bruce did was wrong. If he wanted a longer set time. He should have talked to her instead of doing what he did. Again if they want to do that on their own tour and live with the consequences that's. But this wasn't their tour.

As we stood on the hill at Alpine, weeks before the egging episode happened, we stood and listened while Bruce took time from their own set to complain about:  the sponsors; especially the one that sells horrible beer, the promoter; who insisted that their set only included songs from the first four albums, the crowd response;  which we thought was pretty good but apparently he thought was lacking . . . all I could think was

what an asshole!  what a way to piss off the sponsors and the promoter and the crowd.
I would have loved to witness the arguments backstage every night after that happened
and I'm sure it happened over and over again, long before the egging was even an idea

and if it was me running the show, they would get paid and mysteriously drop off the tour.
whatever excuse they wanted to give for why is up to them.

YES AND HERE WE ARE 7 OR 8 YEARS LATER, STILL BITCHING ABOUT THE DEFINING MOMENT OF OZZFEST: WHEN SHARON CUT THE POWER ON IRON MAIDEN.

GROW UP IS RIGHT. GET OVER IT.

Hey as long as people still bitch about. I will still be here defending what I believe. And what is right and wrong.

EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION, BUT ITS ANCIENT HISTORY. JUST SOME CRYBABY BULLSHIT DRAMA OVER SPILLED MILK FROM YEARS AGO.

REMEMBER WHEN GREAT WHITE SET THAT NIGHTCLUB ON FIRE AND 300 PEOPLE DIED? IT BROUGHT THE LOLZ!!

[IbanezJS]

Its my method of protest. I will stand toe to toe to anyone who thinks Bruce is right. Fuck Bruce.

[slayeraddict666]

The reason Bruce said/did all that is because he was fed up about disrespected by the tour from day 1 in the first place, not just in terms of only getting a 55 minute set, which I'll still maintain is ridiculous as Iron Maiden have been around for quite sometime despite not being bigger than Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath. He wasn't pissed off over nothing, he was pissed off because he was being disrespected by the tour. What was Sharon's response? Act like a petulant child, throw a hissy fit and have eggs thrown at them.

[antimiddlefingertrol]

Every one of the bands on 2nd stage had to come-up w/ $75,000 to get on the fest.  Heard it from Norma Jean, Unearth, In This Moment, and Gizmachi.  So he's probably just the first person to say it.

or he's just butthurt and knows there is dumb faggots like you who will believe anything

How about calling the person that's paying your salary a 'whore'.  Bruce Dickensen did a lot more to Sabbath and the rest of the bands than Sharon and the rest of the bands did to them.

[IbanezJS]

How was the tour disrespecting him? Did he want more money? I know he was upset about the seating arrangements in the venue....What do you want Sharon to do about that? You really expect her to ask the venue. Hey can you remove 10 rows of seats so that Bruce's ego is satisfied? She let anybody who was wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt down in front. Nobody was spitting on Iron Maiden. Nobody was saying hey Bruce fuck you and your band. Everybody was excited to see them. Including me. He was complaining for not getting his way. And a 55 minute set sounds good to me. Bands on the second stage only got like what 20 minutes? Plus you gotta give the roadies time to take all that shit down and put up the next band's equipment. I hope 1 day we will see them on OZZFEST again but Bruce owes Sharon an apology.

And for the record. Lets say if OZZY were to do the same to them on their tour...I would be bitching at OZZY. This isn't some huge Sharon Osbourne vs Bruce Dickenson battle. This is about what's right and wrong. What he did was just wrong. Im a bigger Godsmack fan then a Motly Crue fan but I was disappointed what Sully did on Motly Crue's own festival tour.

[antimiddlefingertrol]

what bruce did was kinda a dick move, how ever, bruce maybe an asshole, but I prefer him over ozzy any day.

They're Iron fucking Maiden, they deserve a longer set than 55 minutes. Without Iron Maiden on the bill, I guarantee that Ozzfest would have sold a lot less tickets. When he gets that little time and get treated like shit by people associated with the festival (based on what Bruce has said about the incident), he has a right to be angry. Sharon on the other hand does not have the right to cut them off and have eggs thrown at them. That's just immature and childish. If she's got a problem with Bruce, take it up professionally, don't throw a little temper tantrum and have thrown eggs thrown at him. That just makes her look like an arrogant little bitch.

RIGHT THERE MAN! When you say "Its Iron FUCKING Maiden". That shows you don't care about whats right or wrong. All you care about is the name. They didn't have to do OZZFEST no one forced them to. They chose to do it on their own free will. If they were given a 55 minute set and they didn't like then they didn't have to do the tour. Giving them a 55 minute set isn't disrespectful. Its what they could let them do in the 14 hours (Or so) that festival was there for the day. Every band has a right to play their set and they weren't going to cut every band's set time just so that this guy will feel better about himself. And you still haven't told me how the tour was disrespectful to him. Maybe if they wanted to do more songs they could have done what I call a slash. Like do Half of The Trooper then cut into Run To The Hills. Bands to that all the time. People admire this guy as if he's some hero. If he was the one who had the problem with the tour in the first place he should have said something to Sharon. He should have said "Hey Sharon I have been meaning to talk to you about something" instead he went out on stage and said fuck these bands, fuck the Osbournes, fuck these sponsors (And yet he took the sponsors money any way). Face it, it was a Dick move on his part.

Slayeraddict, Dickensen was the first and ONLY person to bitch about Ozzfest since it began.  You aren't going to win this arguement so you might as well give-up.  He chose to go on Ozzfest and chose to bitch about it and got his ass handed to him because of it.  Sure, Sharon probably should've confronted him about it before that, but he had NO right to do that shit.
