Black Sabbath 13 Tour


Everyone has that dream list of bands they'd love to see. Mine is as follows: AC/DC Black Sabbath Iron Maiden Megadeth Slayer These are the bands I want to see, there are many others, but these are all the legends. To see them would be completing life achievements. Back in 2012 at Download two of the bands from the above list were performing at the Festival, I missed Megadeth because I was backstage and so excited to be there drinking beer and meeting artists I just listened to Dave from behind the stage. The other band was the mighty Black Sabbath. I left back stage, bottle of whisky in hand to see a band I never even thought I would get the chance to see, especially not the lineup of: Ozzy, Geezer and Tony. I had the best time, sharing out nips, meeting people in the crowd, dancing to Fairies Wear Boots with a bald headed chap who was out of his mind. I even got ridiculously close to the stage only to move back to dance again. It was amazing, but it was so heavily alcohol fueled that I was having to make conscious efforts to remember certain songs; or the way Ozzy swung his arms around like a willow in the wind; even Tony's solos played be the hands that have invented the sound we know and love today are all super flakey in my memory.
