"For Fact's Sakes". I like it. Hopefully we get a release date soon. I'm really looking forward to this and will probably be even better than Rudy's book just for the fact that he's detailing more than just the year and a half that Rudy did.

well, the bottom line is that there are a couple indisputable facts that make all this seem suspicious on the Osbourne's part. 1. They've been caught in numerous lies (Sharon herself should win some kind of Guiness award for lying...) 2. Those aren't the only band members they've treated like garbag...

Ozzy was the reason there was a band. He is let off the hook in that regard. No Ozzy, no record deal. No Blizzard. ....and w/out Bob writing all those important songs, lyrics, and music (Ozzy sure the hell couldn't do it...), then no big arena's, no riches, no big bank accounts, and on and on and on.

Where did you hear that Randy wanted the original band to stay together? From Bob? Sharon claims in Guitar World (March 2006) that Randy was embarrassed by Bob and Lee's appearance. I sense a nugget of truth there, as Randy was, undeniably image conscious. You can't deny that. Her claim, I know, wh...

Perhaps Bob and Lee are feeling the blow back of their own whining. Familiarity often breeds contempt. They are singing to the choir taking their dissent to the public. This is a point of contention with me. Lee & Bob had as much 'music biz' experience as Ozzy did. So how did they get fleeced s...

all the hoopla surrounding these shows (orchestrated perfectly by those surrounding the band) is funny now looking back.....seeing Ozzy mope around the stage from one side to another back and forth in either clothes akin to baggy pajamas or ridiculous halloween type outfits. The reviews were mostly ...

Don.

great stage setup. I think Ozzy has made a mistake in that most subsequent tours starting with 1988's "no rest for the wicked" tour and through today, he's went with pretty much "no"stage set up. Mostly just video screens and amplifiers. Those early elaborate stage shows really a...

I haven't really heard the whole album, but even parts of the song No More Tears seem a little stupid to me. You may think they're pure gold, I don't. We all have our own opinions. Wooot? Seems odd to judge an album based on something that you seem to have only heard in passing. Personally I'll tak...

i don't see any reason why Bob shouldn't give himself more credit. He wrote alot of those tunes and lyrics too, not to mention subsequent tunes in following years. If anything, Bob doesn't get nearly enought credit. The Osbournes should send him a big, fat check every month. Without Bob's writing, n...

Jake seems like a nice guy....but even though i hate Sharon's guts with a passion, she had a right to be pissed at him. He's the tour manager and he didn't do his job by letting them on that plane. He should have never let that happen.

I have never seen a photo of Randy on Rudy's side of the stage or vice versa. No pix of the two players side by side, interacting, or even acknowledging the others presence onstage. Except for the final bow. And that goes for all of the players.... Jake and Bob or Phil, Brad and Rudy, Zakk and Geez...

I think the Osbourne's either misspoke or were exaggerating when they labeled these tapes as "amazing". Far from amazing, its barely above bootleg quality.
I would say "its great to have some new video" or something, but i definitely wouldn't call it amazing.

sued??? lol

There's a GODzillion video's that have copyrights on there. No one's getting sued. It will also almost surely not even get taken down either.

thats right. After Hours is still....by far.....the best video available. Still. Good thing there's now a nice cleaned up copy. That Albuquerque footage is dreadfully frustrating to try and watch. I'll agree with you. I'm glad i didn't purchase it either.
