Am I A Loser? Going To Black Sabbath Alone! 6th row in front of Tony!!!!!!!

[RUSHHEAD666]

Hey dudes and gals!

 

Just got back from a lovely holiday in San Diego California! Some day I will retire there. Coronado California actually. It's where the Seals train. Also the greatest hotel is there as well. It's where we stayed! The Hotel Del!! Check it out!

Anyway I have a 6th row ticket tonight to see Black Sabbath! I'm going solo since my wife hates this genre of music.

Not sure if Wendy will go to anymore rock shows with me. No more RUSH either perhaps!

 

My wife is six years younger than me and she loves our daughters music now. Country, pop and hip hop.

 

Depressing but life goes on!!

 

I'm going to see Black Sabbath by myself but do you blame me?

 

I used to go to concerts alone all the time! Do people on this forum think that it's lame or totally uncool to go to shows alone?

 

Not sure if we have ever talked or typed about it. Personally I don't give a fuukk.

 

When I go to a show alone I don't have to worry about what my buddy or my wife is doing.

I can just stand and fuckking ROCK!

 

What do you think?

 

Can't wait to see Sabbath! Gonna miss Ward though. LAME!

[Drumnut]

I'm in the hospital in Las Vegas, NV, if not for that, though, I'd come out and go with you!!!

[treeduck]

Trapped in a lonely arena, I'm losin' control

Iommi is watching and it's burning my soul

I'm totally obsessed with metal, Wendy says it's a disease

I'm hooked on buying reissues and Japanese CDs

I get a cramp in my belly and shiver and sneeze

If I don't get my fix of 80's hair metal cheese

 

Yeah loser, I'm a public loser

Loser, Earl was secret loser

 

Fighting a losing battle threw my beer in the bin

Ozzy is a fat f**k drunk who can't even sing

All he does is suck in his fat belly right where his wife puts her heel

Ozzy used to be f***ing awesome till Sharon taught him to kneel

his voice is killing my ear drums, they're beginning to peel

Can't wait to get home and listen to the debut album of Keel

 

Yeah loser, I was a secret loser

Loser, I'm a public loser now

 

Though I'm the loser, later I'll be shagging the wife

unlike these nerds all around me, who need to get a life

Sabbath are shit these days, I wouldn't feed that drummer to my cat

When I get out of here I need to put on some Ratt

 

 

So heed my warning, Sabbath have gone boring

and they sound like a butt being fisted

Sitting here now I wish I never existed

I'm two seconds away from crashing and snoring

I wish ticketbastard's number was unlisted

coming here on my own I must be retarded and twisted

 

Loser, Earl was secret loser

Loser, but I'm an outed loser now

 

the 13 album is awesome and everything, but it don't mean a thing

Ozzy sounds like a porno actor jerking off his fat ding

I've sat through enough of his wailing, I'm out of this place

It's time for some Y&T, Crue and Kiss but when they had Ace

 

Yeah loser, I'm a secret loser

Lose, Ozzy's a piece of shit loser

 

Lose, Styx are shitbag losers

Lose, Brian Johnson's a loser

 

Lose, I'm a secret loser

Lose, I'm a secret loser

[The Analog Grownup]

I think a lot of parents adapt their children's taste in music to strengthen their connection. Is your daughter that age where you're almost a taxi ride and a ATM machine? But no, going alone to see a band you like is not lame at all. Lame is not going because someone else won't

[ALifeson85]

ENJOY IT!! My friend and I went to the Bristow, VA show, 3rd row...also in front of Tony, and it was amazing. :haz:

[Rick N. Backer]

No way Earl. Geezer has said this is going to be the last tour, and with Tony's health, I think that's probably true. Make sure you post a review. Ozzy's voice has been up and down on the tour, although by all accounts its been better lately than it was in Houston.

 

I don't see you having much trouble talking to people Earl. Enjoy yourself man.

[bathory]

never been to a show alone but there's nothing wrong with it. sometimes it's hard finding someone who likes the same shit as you

[Rod in Toronto]

I´ve been to tons of concerts by myself, and I´m not bothered AT ALL when it happens. Enjoy Black Sabbath, Earl!

[J2112YYZ]

No, you're not a loser for going to the show by yourself. The only losers at a Black Sabbath show are the people in attendance who bought a ticket and only know War Pigs, Iron Man and Paranoid. Oh yeah, and for this tour Andrew WK as well.

 

I've been to a number of shows by myself before. Sometimes you just can't find anyone who likes the band to go with or people who were supposed to go with you bail out at the last minute. Like you said Earl, going by yourself isn't a bad thing because you don't have to worry about anybody else and you can just do your own thing and enjoy the show.

 

I don't mind going to shows on my own because i'm not that chatty of a person at concerts. Weather a band is playing or it's music coming from the PA between bands, it's not exactly the environment to carry on conversations in.

[ColdFireYYZ]

I go to a lot of shows alone and it never bothers me. I usually talk to the person next to me or whatever during the downtime.

[bathory]

yeah at rock shows it's not hard to make buddies

[x1yyz]

My wife is six years younger than me and she loves our daughters music now. Country, pop and hip hop.

 

I am so very sorry. As a middle-aged female person, I hate seeing other women fall into the stereotype of listening to/liking "soft" music. Blah.

 

I used to go to concerts alone all the time! Do people on this forum think that it's lame or totally uncool to go to shows alone?

 

I think it's totally fine. I've gone to Rush shows by myself and have had more fun than when I go with someone who just sits/stands there without getting into it. Go, have fun, and don't care about what anyone else may or may not think.

[treeduck]

In truth I've been to quite a few shows alone and it's all good!

 

Back in the old days, like 1986, I went seeing Accept and Dokken on my own at Manchester Apollo. And it was great! Once the concert starts you don't care who you're with anyway! I met some people I knew while I was there too, that's how it was back then, metalheads all over! :haz:

[Babycat]

Enjoy yourself, Earl, my sweet!

[Hatchetaxe&saw]

I love going to gigs solo. Rock fans, especially in the UK, are in general a friendly bunch. Crack up a conversation in a pub in Hammersmith and 3 hours later you and your new best friend, Rooster, are singing way too loudly and trying not to get arrested.

[Ancient Ways]

Last couple of times I saw rush alone. Wife doesn't like concerts and I find casual fans to be annoying to attend rush shows with. So no, not a loser. Edited August 26, 2013 by Ancient Ways

[nappy2112]

Saw sabbath a week ago and they freakin' rocked , Ozzy was outta key less often than Geddy these days to be honest.

[nobodys hero]

Shit Earl, I'd go with you if I was there. I'm hoping they do a show in Denver in 2014 so I can see them. No big deal going to a concert alone, and WTF is Wendy thinking???

[Cygnus 2112]

I've got no problem seeing RUSH alone so no you aren't weird.

[RUSHHEAD666]

Hey! You guys are great! I have a fuckking great time going to the show alone! As a matter of fact I like it better than taking a friend or a wife.

 

A. If I take a buddy I fukking talk too much during a show and miss stuff.

B. If I take the wife to a rock concert I have to take her out to a nice dinner first, so I stress out and always show up late a a venue and get stuff in traffic and parking chaos.

 

Last night I left my office at 4:30 pm. Showed up at the venue 2 hours early. No traffic, easy VIP parking for 20 bucks. Relaxed in the parking lot listening to the A's game and during commercials I put on the "13" album which by the way is absolutely terrific!

 

That lame ass Andrew WK or Andrew WeaK never showed up! WTF? It was some lame ass hard rock DJ.

 

The show was out of this world. Ozzy was simply wonderful. People who rip on Ozzy for is age just don't get it. I will love him forever.

 

Geezer is one of the most underrated bassists in the world.

 

 

I've seen Geezer with Heaven And Hell twice. I thought he was better with Ozzy. JMO

 

Tony is so beyond beyond. I honestly have never ranked him top 5 in my life but he is. Tony is a class act. I was 8th row right in front of him. He was smiling and having a great time.

 

Ozzy and Tony seemed like kids out there on the stage again. Laughing and having a ball.

 

The RATM drummer was awesome. He put a fukiking lightning strike back into that band. No disrespect to Bill Ward. He is a Legend, but they did a good job picking this dude up. He was like Jesus on the drums!

 

As a drummer I do have one complaint. He had octobans on both sides of his drum kit. It was awesome. He played them often on a few key Sabbath tunes but when he did his long drawn out boring fast drum solo hit didn't hit one octoban!! LAME!

 

At least Simon Phillips, and Tim Alexander play them during a solo!! Even Alex Van Halen never plays his octobans during a solo!

 

Oh well, at least I'm not starting some lame octoban thread. Hmmmmmmmm............

 

BLACK SABBATH RULES!

 

"Dirty Women" is one of the most underrated Black Sabbath songs of all time!!!!!!!

PAT!

 

You are absolutely amazing!! We were separated at birth!!!

 

While driving home from my San Diego vacation I cranked up "The Ultimate Sin." One of the greatest albums ever made on the earth.

 

"Secret Loser" is one of my favorite songs!! Of course you would use it in your Epic Poem.

 

I think "Never" is another perfect gem!!

 

"NEVER SAY DIE" dude!!!

 

The 2013 Black Sabbath t shirt in black and gray uses the "Never Say Die" mask on the front!

 

They also were selling "Never Say Die" t-shirts. They only had medium left but I had to buy one anyway! 40 USD! I don't care about money when it comes to metal!

 

By the way I think "Technical Ecstasy" is one of the most underrated albums in the world!! 1976 PROG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RUSHHEAD666]

Enjoy yourself, Earl, my sweet!

 

I don't know you baby but I love you!!!

 

YOU ROCK!
