black sabbath concert

[xr6fa]

Hi guys,just wondering if anybody here are going to the black sabbath concert.

[anto]

yes indeed. If there ever were a gig to see this would be it !

[Jeeepers]

Would be fantastic to see them again. I last saw them in 1974, hahahaha Got Dad to take me. His ears were ringing for days.

[MRJUCY]

Ozzy era Sabbath is my favourite band & wouldn't miss it for the world Heaven & Hell tho I couldn't care less.

[muppet]

I would love to as I am a big Dio era Sabbath fan , but for $125 they can kiss my hairy butt . Maybe $60 or $70 but $125 come on thats just a bit too much of a joke . I know 5 other people that would go if it was cheaper and I bet they dont sell out the Newcastle entertainment centre (thats where I would be going ) . Their heads are a bit too big for their boots if you ask me .

[FlipXW]

My mate and i are going. On the 8th, just over a week now : . massive fan of the dio years, its ganna be mad.

[muppet]

I was thinking of going to this, but i liked the Ozzy era better too. Although, it would be great to see Tony Iommi and Co together again. I cant see why they charge so much for tickets to these gigs now

[ratman]

Yep, I'm going - definately a worthy Bday present from my brothers.

Must be a lot of people in Newcastle with more money than sense lol .

I must admit i did think it was very steep but its once in a life time. And anyway this is coming from a guy whose going to england next year just to see iron maiden and megadeth.

[torry]

It is a little steep in pricing but hey it's going to be maybe the last time we get to see these guys perform live here in OZ.I remember the Sacred Heart Tour (Dio) and it was awesome.Dio defanately has what it takes to give us a top night out. :

Yes i to much prefer dio, however i think most of the ozzy songs are better if you get me lol. Dio is a much better singer.

well that shoud be a good trip . I saw Iron Maiden in the 80,s at the civic in newcastle so I have ticked that box lol . How much are the tickets to get in though . I bet they arent as dear as australian tickets , we get ripped by everyone .
Yeah I know it's a once in a life time thing , but I just refuse to pay that sort of cash to see a band .

Very true, yes they are cheaper.
We get ripped here in aust, and we rarely get many tours of top bands :(. so when the opportunity comes along you gotta take it, IMO anyways.

Yeah you are right there , if you can justify the money for the ticket . I just know a lot of big Sabbath fans that cant , and they are pi$$ed about it I can tell you .

Can't really blame them ay.

[anto]

The reason they charge alot of money is logisticly its costs alot to come out to Australia for these bands. I mean in Adelaide theyre only playing to 2500 people, how much money are they going to make out of that ? Its probably the last opportunity to see them in Australia.
personaly I would have paid anything, in fact I almost flew over to the US to see the original line up last time they toured there..wish I did.

For any of you Sabbath fans check out Iommi's solo albums if you havent already, its some of his/Sabbaths best work since Dehumanizer..

[SHIFTN]

What are the details and where do i buy tickets?

[Mark351]

Ticketek!

I'm there, got pre-sale tics. Neon Knights!

[Mark351]

Ozzy doesn't own any copyright, since Tony writes the music and Bill Ward, not Ozzy, wrote a lot of the lyrics. Black Sabbath, including Ozzy and Bill are technically still a band, which is why this tour is under the Heaven and Hell name, promoting the Dio years compilation. Ozzy, Bill are reuniting with Geezer and Tony for a Black Sabbath tour later this year, or next.

[FlipXW]

Saw the concert last night and it was outstanding defintly worth the the money. It was twice as good as i expected. Dio's still got a great voice and Iommi is just a pure god. I was very impressed, and glad i didnt miss it.
heres a pic,

[phildee]

Just saw this in Melbourne tonight, absolutely amazing!

We had great tickets at the front row of 1st level seats but some older guy handed me and my mate FRONT ROW CENTER on the floor as his wife had to go home and he was happier to be able to sit down (thanks whoever you were)

Dio may be old but his stage presence and voice are still better than most out there and although I prefer his solo work the song selection was great. Tommy was amazing, Geezer was amazing and I couldn't believe how hard Vinny kept hitting the drums all night, all in all one of my favorite concerts. I also got one of Geezer's pick's at the end, was a great night.

[Mark351]

Yeah, killer show. I was on the other side to PhilXR8, and the only bad thing was Tony disappearing behind the foldback speakers every now and again, but otherwise it was one of the best shows I've been to in a long time (and I go to a lot of metal gigs.)
