The eagles were playing and he said they were all instructed to never look any of the members in the eye if they were walking past them. That is pretty dickish. Kind of taking it to the limit, ain't it?... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 14 hours ago, KDIGGZ said: First they said because of the high taxes but their PR team quickly changed it to "too many guns." More politically acceptable reason to flee California apparently (even though that state has the strictest gun laws in the country) and I could probably think of a million other reasons to leave but that's the one they landed on. But glad to see he's sticking around long enough to get another pay day. I'll be utilizing the facilities at halftime UK is hardly a tax haven...

Gugny Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, SoMAn said: yeah, like that. My wife (Luther Vandross nut) absolutely hates that song for some reason. I’ve performed it in the past, but since Covid, it’s getting harder to hit those notes at ‘don’t your feet get cold on the wintertime’ section. Part of my distain for The Eagles is that I think Henley is a total dick. He’s got guitarist Don Felder to thank for putting million$ in his bank account. It was Felder who created the iconic chord sequence and guitar solos for their biggest hit, Hotel California. Eventually, Felder and co-dick Glenn Frey fired him. Hotel California is one of dozens of hits that made the Eagles rich. Most were written by Frey and/or Henley. If there was most-expendable original member, it was Felder. I will agree that they (original lineup) all seem(ed) like d!cks. Edited September 3, 2022 by Gugny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll perform well, much like Mick does after all these years. He'll perform well, he'll be surrounded by uber talented musicians, he'll play the melody of his classics, it'll be worth a watch. 🤘 I saw Ozzy and Crew @ the Aud around 87' or 88', so it's been a while. nostalgia at what was, and is Now Mr Ozzy Osbourne. Rock icon and we are losing them yearly. If you were a fan and prefer to keep those memories pure from the 80's I totally get that. I would want to see him perform now because he will give it his all. And in his situation I think that is brave too. Noone wants to see a broken parody of who he was. I predict he will hella bring it the best he can. Edited September 3, 2022 by muppy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's at least one under 20 year old that thinks Ozzy playing halftime next week is cool. Told me so about 15 minutes ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet a large chunk of Ozzie's income is capital gains so taxed far less than personal income from other sources. UK with 45% personal income tax, plus local tax (say, London--1.5%), plus council tax plus 20% VAT on purchases. Cali is expensive though. Same for NY, NJ....gotta get that SALT deduction back on the books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna say, I have seen Ozzy and/or Sabbath 15+ times, love him....but at a certain point these old ass grandpas doing metal/rock and roll becomes near parody. He's about as edgy as a butter knife at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough already with these 70-something relic rock acts and this worn out 70’s music. If I never hear Hotel California or More Than a Feeling again I’m fine with it. Quite a diverse set of opinions. That’s what makes this forum great…especially if you agree with me 😜 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Fans in the stadium will probably miss some or all of the performance in line at the bathroom. Those at home are going to be treated to maybe one song. To those who can't bear to watch one song from Old Ozzy, turn the channel for 15 minutes.

Freak-O Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Since they play his song Crazy Train at pretty much every sports event in the US it might be fun for the audience to hear him live. I sure prefer this choice to pretty much every other previous half time spectacle. And by the way, Boston was an awesome band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he just did a live performance with Tony Iommi ... Ozzy needed a guard rail around him to stand straight. I hope he does play, he is awesome. I just read something that said he has parkinsons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
