Iron Maiden 1, Osbournes 0

There is something rotten in the state of Ozzfest, or so it is reported ... and according to the reports, it's Ozzy.  This account describes one of the most shameful examples of public behavior I've ever heard of on behalf of any musical artist.

The Osbournes picked the wrong band to try to fuck with, though .... they picked on Iron Maiden.

Yeah. By this account, the harder the Ozzy clique pushed them, the harder Iron Maiden bounced back. The Osbournes sold out, plain and simple. It turns out Sharon Osbourne subsequently copped to pulling the plug on Iron Maiden's amps (http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=1851802005); on a pathetically lame excuse.

That said, Ozzy used to be a serious rocker, and back then, a lot of his on-stage lunacy was play-acting to maintain the persona his fans expected of him.
