Ozzy greift den Iron Maiden-Sänger an

Eigentlich kennt man Ozzy Osbourne als friedlichen Zeitgenossen, der selten ein schlechtes Wort über andere Musiker verliert. Angesprochen auf den Vorfall vor fünf Jahren fährt er allerdings die ganz großen Verbal-Geschosse auf. Hier der Original-Wortlaut aus einem aktuellen Interview:



“Unbeknown to me, every night he was going on stage slagging me off. And that wasn't fair. If he didn't like the fuckin' tour, he should have said "I'm jumping [off] the fuckin' tour," but to go on stage and fuckin' slag me off for no reason… I'd never said a fuckin' bad thing to him. The bass player came round at the last gig and said "I'm sorry about Bruce," and I'm like, "What the fuck are you talking about?" Nobody had told me, you know. I said, "You know what? I don't understand what the fuck you're talking about here."



[…]



To this day I don't understand what the fuckin' beef was. I just don't get it. To go on the Ozzfest and slag [people] off, that's crazy. I really think he needs a fuckin' psychiatrist if he does that, he's fucking nuts. It's an irresponsible fuckin' thing to do. Sharon must have got pissed off with this cunt, you know.“



Ob diese Version der alten Geschichte auch von Iron Maiden so bestätigt würde, ist momentan noch unbekannt.
