The stacked invoice works like this: Dwell Help type, a rotating stage, brief units with about 5 minutes between them. Some are full bands, some are supergroups of legends. Everybody does a Sabbath or Ozzy cowl. Hunky Hollywood beefcake and metallic maniac Jason Momoa acts as compere for many of it, interspersed with humorous Ozzy clips and messages from absent mates like Judas Priest, Korn, Def Leppard and ELTON FUCKING JOHN, in addition to a really emotional, sensible message from Kathy Rhoads, sister of late, legendary Ozzy axeman Randy. Between that, Slipknot’s Sid Wilson spins the tunes, wearing a Villa shirt.
All of it occurs so quick and relentlessly that, even with no-shows from Jonathan Davis, Freddy D annd Wolfgang Van Halen, there’s no time for meals, drink, a piss, something apart from watching the best present on Earth speeding at you at lightspeed.
At simply gone 1pm, the day’s first heroes seem. After tearing by Black Tongue and Blood And Thunder – cursed by a multitude of sound coming by the PA – Mastodon’s Brann Dailor takes on the job of not simply drumming the expert-level jazzy rhythms of Sabbath’s Supernaut, however singing it as effectively. The Atlanta heavies, decked out in Sabbath shirts, had been at all times going to be a certain factor right now – however on type like this, they set the bar impossibly excessive on the first throw.
Rival Sons observe, with singer Jay Buchanan wanting like end-of-days Jim Morrison, however delivering a near-perfect model of Electrical Funeral. Ten minutes later, Anthrax – clad in Sabbath Bloody Anthrax shirts – to tear by Indians, and a note-perfect model of Into The Void. Then Halestorm seem, wanting like The Midlands’ most excited folks, with Lzzy Hale in tasseled jacket and sporting no finish of crucifixes, to do Ozzy banger Perry Mason. After that, Lamb Of God arrive, do an unimaginable model of Redneck, put their very own spin of Youngsters Of The Grave, and Randy Blythe, inan odd match of pleasure, chucks his smeggy trainers into the gang.
This all occurs with change to spare from an hour. It’s that quick. Then it’s time for the primary of the day’s a lot talked-about supergroups curated by Tom Morello. Lzzy Hale joins Religion No Extra/Ozzy drummer Mike Bordin, Excessive/Rihanna guitar whiz Nuno Bettencourt, ex-Megadeth bassist Davis Ellefson, keyboardist Adam Wakemen and one-time Ozzy axeman Jake E Lee for The Final Sin, earlier than Disturbed’s David Draiman takes on Candy Leaf and Shot In The Darkish. He’s the day’s solely weak hyperlink, unconvincing in his supply. A lot better is Ugly Child Joe’s Whitfield Crane, backed by Sleep Token drummer II. Weirdly, although, it’s YUNGBLUD who steals the phase, with a genuinely touching rendition of weepy Vol. 4 ballad Adjustments, preceded by a dedication to late Liverpool soccer hero Diogo Jota from Nuno, in Portuguese. Stunned as some could also be at YUNGBLUD turnung up, he’s fucking sensible, understanding each the project, and learn how to get a stadium full of individuals in your facet.
