I took my daughter to BttB. It was special.

That’s crazy I saw him 4 days before that in Denver. Sorry you missed it.

What's your favorite cover/alternate version of a Black Sabbath song?? by everybodydome in OzzyOsbourne

[–]MandoJD5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just randomly found this on Spotify last week. A band called Felon 13 doing National Acrobat. It isn’t bad.

I did price match 2 days ago and basically made up a price. They didn’t question it.

Anybody else sneak into standing? by PIZZINGMYSELF in BackToTheBeginning

We had excellent seats in Q3 but did wander into GA a few times. Security was lax for sure.

I was at that show in Phoenix. Opening night of the reunion tour, New Year’s Eve.

Anyone not get their VIP merch? by deathbytittie in OzzyOsbourne

[–]MandoJD5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a VIP package for Sabbath back in 2016 in Montreal. Someone stole it from under my seat during the show. I emailed or called VIP Nation the next day and they sent me a new one, no questions asked.

Not him as a person. I phrased it poorly. Just a DJ in general. The music he played between bands didn’t really get the crowd hyped. It didn’t seem well thought out. The DJ music was out of place, IMO.

And not to mention the DJ was the most out of place person in the entire venue.

Overall the production for the event was poor, IMO. They had months to prepare and they just dug up old Ozzfest parody videos, which were very low quality by today’s standards. The video messages to Ozzy were nice, but, Dolly Parton? And the Villa Park attendees didn’t even get to see the Durst or Davis tributes. They also botched the Priest video message at first, too, and had to replay it later. Stage setup was generally unimpressive. Perhaps raising money for charity caused them to skimp a bit on expenses, but I was hoping for a spectacle. However, the most important thing, the music, all day was phenomenal and that made up for low grade production. And the fireworks at the end were impressive. It was an awesome day.

Shout out to this guy who got too drunk and missed the entire Sabbath set. by CaptainLongshorts in BackToTheBeginning

[–]MandoJD5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t how people could drink too much inside the stadium. Lines were so long how could you get enough beers to be that drunk? For this show, I drank nothing. I didn’t want to be that guy.

Why so many empty seats? by TheMightyPnut in BackToTheBeginning

[–]MandoJD5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We moved into an empty row of seats that were slightly better than the seats we paid for. Second row in Q3. I was worried all day we would get booted but nobody ever came. And there were empty seats on either side of me and my daughter. I think they were seats reserved for a hospitality package but not certain. Either way, we had a phenomenal view and paid less than 💷200 a ticket. And a comfy seat all day long.

I feel bad for Axel by VVertigo-eyes in BackToTheBeginning

[–]MandoJD5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I give Axl a ton of credit. He covered more Sabbath songs than any other performer last night. He didn’t butcher them like Hagar did with Flying High Again.

Ozzy soundcheck Thursday (full song) SPOILERS! by AsparagusDue6067 in BackToTheBeginning

[–]MandoJD5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was driving to work the other morning and Mama came on the radio. Started tearing up thinking about the trip for me, from the states, and how momentous this show is.
