    I was never really into his music, but after seeing his farewell tour and how he passed the torch to youngblud it just reminds me type of man he was, and the world isn’t as good as it once was without him.

        There were some comments he made after the show that really made it sound like he knew his time was up.

          The radio show I was listening to while driving this morning said that concert felt like a tribute except he was technically alive and present.

          The emotions he had during a few of the songs, I chalked up to the finality of the performance at the time. Now I definitely feel it was something bigger he knew.

          Singing about end-times in your twenties is cool and edgy. Bringing those same lyrics to his metaphorical death bed, hit totally different and it showed.

        He and Sharon have been longtime proponents of euthanasia. It’s entirely possible this was the plan all along.

        Honestly, no judgment either way. Ozzy is a legend, and he died as he lived - on his own terms. RIP.

                i looked more into the disease, apparently for some people the first symptoms are usually outside the brain, like loss of smell, or some GI issue, not all but some. one time i stumbled into a parkinsons forum, and some people said they began loss of smell

        He wasn’t an original Sabbath member. Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward were the members. Rhoads was Ozzy’s guitarist when he went solo.

            Oh damn the Manson one I missed going to. I was supposed to see Manson around 2005, but it was an outdoor concert and the whole thing got canceled due to storms, so never did get to see him; but yeah, SOAD was absolutely fantastic.

        Those were good times. I was at the Ozzfest where Marilyn Manson humped the back of a security guards head and then got sued for it. Good times indeed.

            2001 sounds right. I was definitely at that one. I remember the t shirt being Satan grabbing his hairy balls and flipping you the bird. They made me turn that t shirt inside out in high school when I wore it. Buncha facists.

            I also remember Sony had a PS2 truck there and you could play Twisted Metal Black. It was awesome.
