Ritchie Blackmore will be playing the encore w/ Deep Purple at Jones Beach tonight

We’ve been losing a lot of heroes of late. Ozzy comes to mind. Just 15 days before his death, it was like a carnival spectacle where he was seated in a chair and all these bands (including one which earned a Grammy for a song that Ozzy was never recognised for with an award) played tribute.

It was sad seeing him like that. He looked feeble and old and probably was wondering if he could just go home and chill with a few brews.

Lemmy was the same way, touring until he was put in the grave.

Wouldn’t want that for Blackmore. I recognise him as an immense talent, as everybody should. But when the stage light has gone off, he should just do his bows and make his exit.

I agree. It feels morbid, like the fans, labels, expectations just keeping taking from these guys until they literally have nothing left to give.

A historic reunion, after 30 years apart, and your takeaway is a microscopic clip-on tuner.

That doesn’t say much for you, pal. And in my book that constitutes you as an asshole. And it’s my job to point out the assholes here, so take your bow

Relax its a joke ahole

Ozzy looked like Weekend at Bernie’s up there. I’d have been embarrassed for him If him an $haron weren’t such corporate, cutthroat douchebags.
And to the degree that they cleaned up his vocals for the broadcast was insulting to the listener.
It may as well been Milli Vanilli up there lip syncing.
