Wow, what a bitch!
Well, lets do some reading:
"At Iron Maiden's last Ozzfest performance (August 20th 2005 at the Hyundai Pavilion at Glen Helen in San Bernardino, CA), the band had their
sound turned off several times, eggs were thrown towards the stage, and chants of "Ozzy" were shouted through the PA system. This was the
work of Sharon Osbourne, who took to the stage and called Bruce Dickinson "a prick" after they performed their encore, followed by a large
portion of the crowd booing her off the stage. She officially admitted this in a scathing letter, accusing Bruce of heckling her
husband, which she signed "The Real Iron Maiden". As planned, Velvet Revolver went on to complete the final dates of the tour in place of
Iron Maiden"
"Never one to banter words, in 2000 she [ED: Sharon Osbourne] made news by severing her relationship with The Smashing Pumpkins and then announcing in a
statement: "...I must resign due to medical reasons... Billy Corgan was making me sick!""
"In 1999 the band Coal Chamber, managed by Sharon at the time, were touring with The Insane Clown Posse. The Insane Clown Posse dropped Coal
Chamber because they were not pulling in enough money and Coal Chamber's sound was not Juggalo material. In November of that year Sharon
appeared on The Howard Stern Show, and, after several minutes of brutal arguing, she bet the Insane Clown Posse $50,000 that their next
album would not sell more than 200,000 units and that they would be dropped from their label. Insane Clown Posse upped the ante to 500,000
records . In the event, the next album, which was a dual release, Bizzar and Bizaar, sold over
200,000 copies each. Sharon has so far failed to pay the money allegedly owed, which Insane Clown Posse
had planned to donate to charity."
"On August 20, 2005, the band Iron Maiden played their last Ozzfest show of 2005 in San Bernardino, California. A series of premeditated
negative events occurred during that performance, beginning with attendees in the V.I.P. area being handed eggs by festival security, in
which they then pelted the band with eggs, garbage, and other debris. Festival Crew and people who attended the event also described that
someone sabotaged the sound system and played a tape of somebody chanting 'Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!' as people at the event chanted 'Maiden!
Maiden! Maiden!' to counter the attack. It was also reported that the sound system was intentionally turned off about 5 times in the middle
of the band's performance. Sharon Osbourne admits to planning these attacks on Iron Maiden in retaliation against Bruce Dickinson's
statements about the Osbourne family's reality show on MTV.
As Iron Maiden began to play the song "The Trooper" a man believed to be Big Dave, a famous Black Label Society road crew assistant and
guest on Sharon's reality T.V. show "Battle for Ozzfest" came upon the stage and waved a disproportionate American flag, mocking Bruce
Dickinson's usual activity of waving the Union Jack during this song. Despite all of the happenings, Iron Maiden played out the entire show
with an additional encore. Despite Bruce's leading the band to finish the performance with the band, Sharon did command the stage to make a
few statements. She complimented the band, however she reportedly dubbed Dickinson as a prick and claimed that he ruined the entire
Ozzfest tour.
Most people regard Sharon Osbourne to have come off worst in this conflict, as Iron Maiden played a storming set and many people left the
show in disgust afterward, booing and bottling Sharon off the stage when she came to insult Dickinson."
Wow, what a whore!
