When are they going to stop talking about this whole thing? If you don't know, Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden and Sharon Osbourne have been at each others throats for a few months now. He said something nasty to her and then she threw some eggs at him while he was onstage...it's been a real sideshow.
In a recent interview Bruce is still talking about it. Granted, they asked him the questions, but just say "no comment." I'm not saying who is right or wrong, because they're both acting like assholes, but geez.
What Bruce had to say about Ozzfest:
"It was my usual love/hate relationship with corporate America," says Dickinson. "Ozzfest is a corporate rock event at which they sell the front 10-12 rows to corporate seats and not to kids. Most of the bands pay a lot of money to be on the Ozzfest, they get paid next to nothing. The whole way it's being portrayed as being some kind of altruistic holiday for all the bands is absolute nonsense, it's complete bullshit...We went out and we were like, 'Okay, why aren't there any people down the front?' Well, because it's restricted seating and because they don't have tickets...Some fat cunt with greasy hair sat eating his hamburger with 50 seats empty all around him. Where are all the kids? They're held behind the barrier and they can't get any closer..."
He compares his world to Sharons':
"What we do is we are a heavy metal band and what we care about is our fans. That's it. So our strength comes from that simplicity. You know, what do I care if I never appear on reality TV? 'Fucking great, thank you! Can I have it in writing?' But in her world, that's really important. In her world, it's really important what you look like. In her world, facelifts are really important. In my world, I don't give a fuck. I get old and I get wrinkly. Who gives a shit?"
Drama, drama, drama
