Eh... Sabbath music, up to and including Sabotage is pretty excellent... not in the same world as eagles/boston. I'll check it out for sure, even if he's hanging on to a guard rail.

 

The crap "music" they are putting out nowadays sucks, it's just horrible.

Years ago, Ozzie was on a TV commercial where he says "What's a Bieber?"  Today's music pure garbage

Do they stop selling beer at half time for night games? If so:  No More Beers!

Like what you did there! 😏

I don’t understand the need for any halftime music show ever, that’s piss-break time.

I agree There’s a lot of crap today, but lots of good music too. You just have to dig a little deeper than what’s on mainstream airwaves. Plenty of great indie acts in every genre. 
My beef with ‘classic rock’ radio is the nonstop playing of the same tired songs for over 40 years. The Stones (for example) have released multiple studio LPs in 50 years, but you’ll never hear anything beyond 5 or 6 of those tracks. 
It’s the same with Sabbath, Floyd, The Who, Zep, Skynyrd, etc. They get about 5-6 songs each. 
But yeah, pump Ozzy up with whatever they give to you know who, push him towards center stage and let him belt out a $hittier version of Crazy Train or Paranoid.  I’ll be in the loo taking a piss.

Yeah, the classic rock stations just play the same ***** over and over. Finding a station with deep cuts is better or a college station. We have 88.5 here and they are pretty diverse. 

 

The last Great Sabbath Lp... with no hits lol.

Sabotage's front cover art has garnered mixed reactions over the years and is regarded by some as one of the worst album covers in rock history.[15] The inverted mirror concept was conceived by Graham Wright, Bill Ward's drum tech, who was also a graphic artist.[16] The band attended what they believed was a test photo shoot for the album cover, thus explaining their choice of clothing. Said Ward, "The only thing we didn't discuss was what we'd all wear on the day of the shot. Since that shoot day, the band has survived through a tirade of clothing comments and jokes that continue to this day". Ward, in fact, was wearing his wife's red tights in the photo.[6] Wright recalls in the book How Black Was Our Sabbath that the plan was for each band member to appear on the cover dressed in black and had been instructed to bring some stage clothes for preliminary photos, but when they arrived no black costumes had been laid out by the designers and "the original concept had been overruled." The designers "carried on with the shoot, explaining they would superimpose the images at a later stage and that it would look great, honest. The session was unbelievably rushed, and the outcome was far from what had been originally envisaged ... Ironically, the sleeve design that was intended to illustrate the idea of sabotage had instead become a victim of sabotage itself. By the time they saw it, it was too late to change."

So true.  They just pound the same songs into the ground.  The Stones have over 400 original songs.  In DC, you hear about 20 of them.  It's really the radio stations and their programming that's the issue.

I’ll give it a listen. Just for perspective, when I saw Sabbath in ‘78, the opening act had some guitar slinger…Eddie Van something.  When I saw Johnny Winter in ‘74, the opening act did a killer version of The Beatles’ Helter Skelter.  The singer was some dude who looked like a lady and their only hit to date was called Dream On. 
Great memories, but still need to explore the current scene occasionally.  I have the same feeling about the red-helmeted 90s Bills. Far more excited about the current and future Bills than re-living Jimbo, Thurman, and Bruce as if they’re anything more than a ‘long time ago’  and another life away. Time to put those dusty bobble heads in a garage sale. I don’t need to be reminded of wide right and ‘almost’ anymore. Same with the endless loop of 70s classic rock.

I’m a musician and grew up in the era of ‘classic rock’, but can we please just move on? Enough already with these 70-something relic rock acts and this worn out 70’s music. If I never hear Hotel California or More Than a Feeling again I’m fine with it.  
 

 

OK I get ya on more than a feeling.....be seriously a classic like Hotel Cali???  Sheesh.....you millennial rockers leave a bit to be desired.....what about about Highway to Hell.....this will answer many questions for me......

Agree. I’m on the younger side, but I’d rather watch these guys play in a wheelchair than listen to fake computerized “music”. I’m open to all styles of music, and love to hear new stuff, but these guys will always have an audience when the mainstream pumps out trash. 

[US Egg]

Just show this video at halftime and end it.

Really though, most of the best music I've ever heard comes from the 60's- 70's that had little to no airplay. I don't know if half of these new groups/acts can even play an instrument proficiently other than a tambourine.

Have you ever listened to Sabotage? Probably Ozzy's finest vocals ever... it's on youtube.

I thought that was the Beastie Boys.
