I don't know if you guys have been following the news,
but man, there is a very public breakup that happened
and the details are fascinating and we will get into
all of those coming up in the next segment.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
But right now, it's time for this juicy news hot
gods every.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Stay on top in the woods shovel.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
So, guys, we are about less than a month away
now from a giant reunion show happening Black Sabbath. Hey ay,
And not only is it just a big reunion, it's
gonna be their last and final show. And it's not
just Black Sabbath coming together for this, it's called back
to the Beginning.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
By the way, you.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Got Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Tool Slayer, Panteraico's year Like,
it's gonna be freaking huge.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's gonna be an all day event.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
July fifth is do you know are the bands mixing
up in different stuff? Because isn't uh Tomorrell? Yeah, Tomarell
is the music director, right.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
So Tom Morello has gotten a bunch of other like
just huge metal people, metal icon icons.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
He's got them together and they're gonna be performing throughout
this thing too. So those are like the actual bands playing,
then you got all these other people playing. It's gonna
be a big deal, very cool, so so big that
it's happening in England. But tickets sold out in like
fifteen minutes. And so I was like, man, there's no
way they don't stream this thing right because it's just.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's just huge.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
And it turns out they are those tickets. I need
to check for see if they're I mean, you can't
sell out streaming tickets.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Right, No, so they think so they.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Just went on seal last Friday, I believe, and they
are twenty nine at ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Okay, So let's think about this too. If you're gonna
be watching it over in the UK, what's out of
seven hour difference? Probably so even if it's an old
day thing that started at noon, you're gonna be getting
up at like five in the morning watch it.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well, it does say it's going to be delayed two
hours from when they actually.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Still okay, gotcha, I want a live event, I know, right,
So that's six hour difference, six hours okay, Texas.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Yeah, but you'll be able to watch it up to
forty eight hours after as well.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You have to.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Wake up and watch it, but it's kind of a
cool thing, like you are living in the moment as
it's happening two hours after.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But still, you know what, to your point, they should
give you the option. They should just stream it live
and then let you have forty eight hours so you
can watch it at your life.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
But you know, it's all these old people are going
to be on stage. They're probably like, what if someone croaks?
Do you think That's why I think there's a cushion
because there's some old going to be there, including Aussie speaking.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Of cushion for some push and we got another story
to get to in a second. But so is Aussie's
having some serious health issues? Right?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah? Does he have Parkinson's? Do we know? He's just
so old that he shakes a lot? He does shake
a lot. I think that's what it is.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
But I keep seeing all these reports like he's in
the gym constantly, like just trying to work up the
strength for this show good because he doesn't want to
let the fans down. And in my mind, I'm like, dude, Ozzie,
true fans just appreciate you showing up for one song. Yeah,
because he's thinking they'll do maybe five at most, right,
But seriously, I'm like, dude, Assie, don't kill yourself Parkinson
since twenty nineteen, twenty nineteen, okay, yea, it really like
(03:21):
makes me sad.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yes, I watched the Ronnie James Doo documentary. I that's
the soft spot in my heart. I love Doo and
I think it is probably gonna piss a out of
our listeners off. I prefer Ronnie James Doo Black Sabbath
to Ozzie Black Sabbath because I think Mob Rules is
their best album. That's crazy, but I mean I just
think if Ronnie James Dio is still with us, he
(03:44):
would be over there doing.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
This too, and it would be really cool.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Anyways, started championing Deo. I was a Doo fan.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I saw Dio in concert on the uh that would
have been the last in line tour, and you know,
eighth grader, seventh grade or whatever I was, He's up there,
there's a castle, there's a giant dragon.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You know. I mean, badass.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I'm in already too.
Speaker 2 (04:06):

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I was just so in on it, and I loved
his music. Vivian Campbell's a badass guitar player and it
was just a badass heavy metal concert. And if you
want to get super nerdy, I don't really care for
his records. But ingvay Malmstein opened up, so you had like, yeah,
all that stuff going on the entire time.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Whoops, if you want these live stream tickets, by the way,
back to the beginning dot com.
