Portland Me
Ozzy did very well i was disapionded rob Z. wasent there but he did very well his voice was kinda cracaly but i'll never forget his first two songs I don't wanna stop and Crazy Train. he only played 4 about an hr. and 1/2 which sucked
Thank You
Thanks for an amazing show, Ozzy. You really put everything you have into your performance and it shows! No need to apologize for being sick, that was so thoughtful!
Thanks to Twisted Roots for putting on a kick as set. You guys are naturals. Perhaps you can rock us again with a longer set soon!
Twisted Roots! Ozzy!
That show was Amazing!
Twisted Roots! Ozzy!
That show was Amazing!
Ozzy F***ing rules
the show rocked, set was perfect I needed more beer. Would've been nice to hear war pigs. Thanks to all those hot chicks showing tits, very nice.
awesome show
That was the best concert EVER!!
We love you Ozzy!!
Great show Ozzy.
Once again Ozzy puts on a great show. He was on his game tonight, Zakk was amazing, and my seats we're the best in the house. The highlight of the show for me was Zakk tossing his guitar into the crowd after it gave out at the end of this solo. I would have liked a longer set, but i have no complaints, the OzzMan delivers once again.
Back From The Show....U Rocked IT Hard Ozman.
I just got back from OZZY too and first of all I was impressed that OZZY apologized for postponing his first show not too many musicians would have even mentioned it! (no names mentioned ROB ZOMBIE). OZZY kicked F*****G Ass tonight. His stage was sweet and I challenge ANYONE to take on Zack on guitar his solo was pretty tight too, I haven't seen too many if any people that can play the guitar with their tongue and teeth. Ozzy gave us more then one encore too which is usually all u get from most. He is the true Prince of Darkness and STILL after all these years peforming, his life style he's lead on the road and his age STILL brought it to the Portland Civic Center KICK ASS. I am only sad that I may never see him preform live again he will be sadly missed but wished the best of luck in where his road takes him wether it be "The Road To Nowhere" or all aboard the, "Crazy Train" We love you OZZY, Thanks for the adrenaline rush, YOU ROCK!!!!
P.S. Whoever didn't rock to his show tonight is not a true OZZY fan.
what was that all about?
That was the lamest solo I've seen in years! And what's up with the short set? One Sabbath tune! Off the stage by 10pm??? Wow... I want my $75 back! And some f***wad security ass made me sit down during the opening set.
Lame, lame lame....
just got home from the show
oh my god it was f***ing great i can't speak i can't hear i cant really move but oh my f***ing god the god of metal was awsome f***ing awsome i am so glad that i got to see ozzy on top of the fact that we got to see zakk f***ing wylde who put on such a great solo. that man is god
tonight is the night
and thought i have mixed feelings about this tonight i still can't wait to see the ozz man so well see you all there and see what happends. eather way ott to be a good show
OZZY OZZY OZZY!!!!!
I am Just about to make to 5hour journey to see the prince of darkness, children of the grave playing in the backgroung, and my blood is pumping. Tonight is going to be FU*KING CRAZY. Ozzy is a rock god. Screw the opening act, I'm there for the OzzMan.
Just Be Happy...
While I understand all the complaining about tonight's show and the disappointment of Rob Zombie not being there and the somewhat inadequacy of Twisted Roots compared to Rob Zombie, isn't anyone at all excited that they will, in fact, be in the presence of Ozzy tonight? I know I am. I traveled a long way on the 3rd to see the show and was so relieved that it was at least rescheduled for the 31st. There have been a few concerts in Portland that don't reschedule at all. I will now travel a long way again today but I can not wait to see Ozzy again!!! I would have loved to see Rob Zombie, as I have never seen him, but so what. It will still be a killer show and more than likely the last time we will see Ozzy in Maine. Zakk Wylde will be there and that's always a bonus (as long as he doesn't kill "Crazy Train" like he has a tendency to do). Just be happy to be able to see the legend alive and well.
Come back to Halifax
Ozzy, come back to halifax where the fans are appreciative of your talents. Our opening act for the second night was a local band and they were thrilled with the support. As an attendee of the two nights and an Ozzy fan, it didn't matter who the opening act was we were there to see Ozzy and he did not disappoint. Go see the music legend and enjoy.
Ignorence is bliss
Please people get it through your skulls Ozzy, Sharon, and or Zakk did not pick Twisted Roots!!! they asked WCYY to find a local replacement! for financial reasons only!!!!! Minnie needs a new diamond collar!! and to cancel this show would have meant a loss of $$$$ for Sharon Since Rob Zombie was paid on the 3rd! enough pissing the damage is done! Enjoy Ozzy's final show in Maine!

life..../zombiehell666
I agree..Thats a lot of dough to spend on going to see one band....I would spend that on Black Sabbath with Dio...or of course Sabbath with Ozzy.... I can't think of any band nowadays that i would spend that much of my hard earned dough on.I've been to A LOT,AND I MEAN A LOT of shows.Hey,you got a right to feel the way you do.BLAME IT ON OZZYS MANAGEMENT.Don't take your anger out on Twisted Roots...It's not thier fault Ozzy got sick and cancelled.I would'nt put it past Sharon to have set the whole thing up from the begining.Think about it.She IS a marketing ,money making genius.It was probably a big conspiracy to create conflict and to get people talking.You know the old saying ''Say something bad ,Say something good ...Just say something...Free publicity...It's priceless..s*** like that keeps your client popular no matter what people say.So go and do your civic duty and support [in doing that you support your local music scene] TWISTED ROOTS.You know [you can't denie it]that they deserve it...Trust me,it'll be worth it.
LIFE..........
it's "zombiehell666" not ZOMBIESHELL, but besides that, "closed minded"....... how am i closed minded? if i'm attacked, i respond, just as you did, their was nothing "closed minded" about the words written, we both took our jabs, and now it's done, i cannot see spending $75 bones on just Ozzy, to me the price is not worth the entertainment, it's not closed minded, it's just taste. be cool.

ZOMBIEHELL666/my apologies
Thanks! I WILL have a good time at the show.It's to bad you got a refund on your ticket.I would have bought you a beer [or 2] at Margaritas,Genos,.or any other local bar.You'll be missing out on Zakks killer guitar playing.It's to bad..Why are you so closed minded ...I understand you feel you got ripped off,but you know as well as i do TWISTED ROOTS are still popular.I must agree that thier best stuff was recorded years ago [Turn to Stone was thier best] and they have gotten a little soft.Being from Maine you should help to support the popular local bands.NO MATTER WHAT THE COST.I thought people from Maine were more open to different things and supporting one another..Isn't your state motto'the way life should be'?You should be ashamed of yourself for putting those guys down.If want to blame anyone ,blame Ozzy and Sharon,cause he's the one who got sick and cancelled.I guess i saw things differently when i lived there for 2 years.So i wish you luck in whatever you do in life.
LIFEOFSUFFERING............
are you impaired in someway....mentally?
Dude, I'm done with you.......f*** off, and have a nice time at the show.

OZZY and TWISTED ROOTS/GREENKX80
First i would like to thank you for saying that TWISTED ROOTS are worth listening to..They worked hard and long to get a gig like this.Again i never claimed to be a friend of Zakk's.Seen him around,hung out a couple times at his guitar teachers house..and such.but as for Pete Giordano ...I DO KNOW HIM AND AM PROUD TO CALL HIM MY FRIEND....So..theres not much more to say.I hope you have a great time at the show..TWISTED ROOTS WON'T DISSAPOINT YOU...have fun.
LIFEOFSUFFERING/ZOMBIE SHELL
When your town gets a population of more than 30,000 and you stop molesting your children someone else might pay attention to you.Piss off.Fat ass.
OZZY and TWISTED ROOTS
I think that OZZY made the right choice. No offense, but I checked out the other band and they are a heavy metal Garth Brooks cover band! No thanks, I deal with enough redneck music in this area. Twisted Roots is metal worth listening to and it has been since the first album. I just got my tickets and will scream my face off for both bands..... as for that delusional retard that thinks he knows Zakk Wylde and Pete Giordano, don't think you represent us Ozzy / Twisted Roots fans!
LIFEOFSUFFERING.............
probably a good name for you if you're from Jersey. it's funny, i'm the one insulting you, but you continue to insult my Mom, why, can you cannot come up with anything witty to say about me? and if my Mom was everything you said, you would f*** her, being from Jersey and all, i think Jersey is the Garden State.......no, the a**hole state, yeah that's right. you should quit while you're behind, ass........

WTF
I am sick of this s***. All you guys sound like a bunch of whining b****es. Give it up, if your pissed about Zombie not showing get a refund, or skip the opening act. I have to agree, if i was asked to open for Ozzy no way in hell would i turn that down. Twisted Roots cannot be faulted for that. I would have liked to see Black Label Society step up, but whatever, I'm going to see Ozzy, not the opening act. Ozzy f***ing Osbourne, give the man some respect. By that i mean stop writing bulls*** complaints. Think about it, this will be the last show of his north american tour, he will put on a great show. I saw him in Montreal with Zombie on the 16th. Zombie was great, but Ozzy was the show. i can't wait for tomorrow night, Go f***ing Crazy, be a loud as you can be, One More Song!! One More Song!!
Got to love morons/zombie shell
Unoriginal huh?What could be better than climbing off your crusty fat ass,herpes infested,rotten fish smelling,scab covered mom?.....and 666 that's original..I've never seen that before..
CAN'T RESIST
So i dont know where you read that i said that Zakk was a friend of mine.Just because i gave him the cds doesn'nt mean i claim to be his buddy,and pal.Just because we went to high school together doesnt mean we were friends.I'm not saying i never hung out with him [when he was in ZYRUS,or HATTER FOX]and [a couple times when he came home to visit] after he was famous.Zakk is a SMOKING guitar player [if you think he's good you should see his guitar teacher play] He's the best thing about Ozzy these days.I've seen Ozzy 6 times,BLS 3 or 4 times.I saw Zakk play at a local bar while touring for Book of Shadows.I gave him the cd's around the release of that cd....Maybe they were'nt impressed then but they seem to be taking notice now.Anyway ...THANKS FOR NOT HAVING ANYTHING AGAINST TWISTED ROOTS.If you had a chance to open for the godfather of metal and even play in the same arena as Zakk you would take it to.I'm glad your not returning your ticket...for whatever reason.....enjoy the show.I'll see you there...
Homedog70..........Thanks.
Thanks.........From the BLS Maine Chapter.
A Zombie in Maine
I cant resist, this ones for you Zombieshell666
LIFEOFSUFFERING you have got to be the biggest loser to ever post on anyboard I've seen! so you personally gave Zakk Twisted roots cd's in 96'? and Now Ozzy and Zakk are so amazed with them that 12 years later they said "Damn lets get that Amazing grunge band to open for us in Maine!!!!" they are so Amazing those stupid Mainers wont even notice or care!
WRONG!!!! we noticed and care! you say your from Jersey? sounds more like Jerky to me! are all the people you know as full of s*** as you? There is no f***ING WAY Zakk Wylde is a friend of yours! He's way above your idiotic bulls***! The only reason I havent returned my tickets is to see Zakk's amazing guitar playing!
the only thing you had right was Sharon has already spent the money thats why they couldnt cancel and that is why we get twisted roots! becouse Rob got paid on the 3rd when his stage was set and ready to go! and for Lovely Sharon to pay a real band would have meant no profit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!f*** the fans I need more Money!!!! I like how these people are spending $1000.00 to meet Ozzy! Zakk would never sink so low! I have met Zakk and he bought me a friggin beer! not charged me $1000.00 for a picure with him!!!!
As I have stated before I have nothing against Twisted roots, they are what they are! A local grunge band who's best days were 10 years ago!
So LIFEOFSUFFERING you used a roots song for your wedding, Still Married?.........................................

TWISTED ROOTS! THAT'S WHO!
Hey Zombie from Maine....f***FACE HUH?I'LL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THE NEXT TIME I'M CLIMBING OFF YOUR MOM!
Twisted who................?
yeah, you're right douchebag, Rob does suck now, with all of his albums, and movies, and all the other various projects he's involoved in.............i'm sorry how many albums has Twisted Roots sold? yeah you're right Zombie just sucks, i guess that's why on every show that Ozzy and Zombie did, Zombie got rave reviews and Ozzy didn't. as far as Twisted Roots, i'm not going to pay $75 bucks a pop to see Ozzy and some local band no one has heard of..........have you seen how many people are returning tickets, it's a s***load........so if you're going, have a nice time f***face. and again, f*** YOU TWISTED ROOTS!!!!!!!!!!

A Zombie in Maine
WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?LOSERS!!!!!
So you want to complain about TWISTED ROOTS do ya?Can't see your boy Rob Zombie?This isn't the show you paid for?Who gives a s***!Get a refund or scalp the tix..You child molesting [we all know thats one of the things Maine is famous for] [incest is best]Motherf***ers.
TWISTED ROOTS deserve every bit of RESPECT for getting the gig.Your just jealous.Remember PETE GIORDANO [of TWISTED ROOTS isnt from Maine.He's from away,as you HICKS might put it]. He's from NJ.Actually, he's from THE SAME TOWN AS ZAKK WYLDE[JACKSON NJ,DON'T BELIEVE ME?LOOK IT UP c**kSUCKERS]..They went to the same high school together.I personally gave Zakk copies of TWISTED ROOTS cds in 1996...So Ozzy and Zakk knew about these guys a LONG TIME AGO.
I am a close fiend of Pete's.He was the best man at my wedding.I even used thier song SEVEN DAYS as my wedding song....These guys have been slugging around for a long time.They deserve this gig.Sure,there might be another band that would fit better..but...THIER NOT PLAYING...SO GET OVER IT.....GO GET YOUR REFUND.Sharon has already collected intrest on your dough and spent it on something else.[ROB ZOMBIE'S MUSIC SUCKS NOWADAYS ANYWAY].Is it a coincidence thats these guys are from the same town?Maybe,just maybe....but i don't think so...And remember NJ boys stick together.YOU GOT A PROBLEM WIT DAT?CAUSE IF YOU DO,ME AND VITO CAN ALWAYS TAKE YOU OVAH TO DAH BUTCHER SHOP TO MEET MR BAND SAW.
Ehhhhh
I really paid to see Ozzy from day one....would have been nice to see Rob, but im still happy and im still going
...this is what DEAD SEASON has to say...quote...
"We are very disappointed that we didn't get asked to open for Ozzy in our home state of Maine. We feel we deserve an opportunity like this but unfortunately it's not going to happen. We get just as frustrated as you guys when things like this don't turn out the way we would like. However, we feel the need to come on here and encourage people not to focus their frustrations on Twisted Roots. We have gotten wind of some of the things being said, and we want to state for the record that we support all local bands, especially one with the history those guys have in Maine. Good for them! We have nothing against Twisted Roots and you shouldn't either. Be frustrated if you want to be, but don't point your criticism at a hard working, respected local band who is simply making the most out of a great opportunity. We encourage you all to constantly request us on WCYY because Portland and the rest of southern Maine needs some DEAD SEASON!"
unquote.I really hope the rest of us can pull it together,support ANY local opener,and help people like Roots and Dead Season further OUR music scene,because radio is not going to,and neither are touring acts.
This is going to be a GREAT show,and it's bands that want to be there.Sorry Rob.Kudos Dead Season.You are real men.
starting to think im the only true fan....
i like rob zombie and would love to see his show but big phuckin deal. OzzY and the guys are still playing...
isn't that really the point?
im in moncton and caught the moncton show and if i could, i'd pay anything to see em again (only this time with the wife) but there were a lot of people that just didn't offer up the respect they should have. kinda sounds like here a bit.
i guess what im saying is, if y'all wanna b**** about zombie not going you should do that on the zombie site.
this is the OzzY fan site if im not mistaken. i totally respect and endorse their choices in opening acts.
"In this Moment" opened here in moncton and, even tho they were not my genre of choice, they put on a great show. they kept the crowd going til ozzy showed even tho there were a lot disrespectful prixx in attendance. still no-one went so far as to boo or anything of the sort and our tickets were $90 and up.
this is how new talent gets recognized. they gotta start somewheres and i think that its a beautiful thing that OzzY is willing to help out in the new music scene by doing this.
incidentally i have taken a listen to Twisted Roots and they're pretty decent to an open mind.
also to the jack-offs in attendance that monitor the spelling and such "i'll have a blomee sandwich please".
rock on Ozzy.
peace. .
Amused at the least!!
So after reading these reviews. I am completely amused!! Everyone on here can't spell worth sh*t. I'm thinking if people actually want to see Ozzy perform, they might not want to threaten to boo Twisted Roots off the stage. Deadseason this Deadseason that.. They aren't playing get over it. Twisted Roots may not be the best choice, but I bet they are going to attempt to give us a good show. People who don't want to see Twisted Roots can get a refund simple as that. People that drove 3-6 hours to hear that the first show was postponed. Sucks to be you!! Rob Zombie is a prick. He was a prick to alot of his fans that saw him at the mall, and he is a prick for not returning to play with Ozzy. Now as for In this moment, she definitely rocks my socks! It's a bummer that they won't be returning as well. Now for all the people b*tching about paying $75+ for tickets, Are you really that hard up for money that $75 broke you? Get a f*cking job! If your just POMPUS enough maybe CCY will hire you! Ha..
Nothing against Twusted Roots
Its not about Twisted Roots, I am sure they have worked hard to get where they are at.. I bought tickets for my two children for there birthdays, I don't get to see them very often as they live out of state and they are both teenagers with lives of their own. We expected to see an awesome show with two awesome headliners and now it is just one and a Band that I am sure is good but they are not Rob Zombie. Now both of my kids are thinking about not going, I will still go I am sure Ozzy will put on a Great show but it still sucks. Its not often you can find an event that will span generations and all be able to have a great time. I am sorry but a local band just doesn't have the same pull or enjoyment as seeing a headliner. I wont put down Twisted Roots but I really think it has been unfair, but then thats life.
