Ozzy Talks Iron Maiden Conflct
30th July 2010
Ozzy Osbourne’s recent bout of reflection continues apace, and this time he’s spoken about the weird spat between himself and Iron Maiden in 2005 which culminated in Sharon Osbourne hurling eggs at Maiden while they were onstage at an Ozzfest festival.
The weird dispute occurred in California at the last of Maiden’s scheduled appearances on Ozzy’s touring festival. According to reports at the time the audience pelted Maiden with eggs, bottle caps and ice throughout their 60 minute set and at one point the band had their PA turned off, while frontman Bruce Dickinson criticised Ozzy and his family for appearing in a reality TV show.
But this week Ozzy revealed a little more about the incident. "Unbeknown to me, every night he was going on stage slagging me off. And that wasn't fair. If he didn't like the f**kin' tour, he should have said 'I'm jumping the f**kin' tour', but to go on stage and f**kin' slag me off for no reason... I'd never said a f**kin' bad thing to him. The bass player [Steve Harris] came round at the last gig and said “I’m sorry about Bruce” and I’m like, “What the f**k are you talking about?” Nobody had told me, you know. I said, “You know what? I don’t understand what the f**k you’re talking about here.
"Sharon got p*ssed off... it was nothing to do with me. I suppose Sharon got p*ssed off. I'll back my wife up to the hilt, but I didn't know what was going down. "
He added: "I don't like all that s**t going down. If you don't like me, just say, 'I don't like you, I'm doing this festival but I think you're a c**t'. That's all right. But to go on my stage and start slagging me off - that ain't fair. They weren't f**king slagging me off when they got paid every f**king night."
"To this day I don't understand what the f**kin' beef was. I just don't get it. To go on the Ozzfest and slag off, that's crazy. I really think he needs a f**kin' psychiatrist if he does that, he's f**king nuts. It's an irresponsible f**kin' thing to do. Sharon must have got pissed off with this c**t, you know."

I think it Ill advised of Bruce to splarf off onstage about Maiden's hosts, no matter how justified. No more than that. As for Sharon's behaviour, nothing earns her the right to herckle other guest acts, egg people, and tamper with PAs. I suggest if Ozzy is sincere, he gives Sharon his credit card, and sends her down to Bloomingdales, and gets Bruce on the phone, and sorts it!!!!! |
