Semi-OT: Ozzy Osbourne opened for the Patriots in 2005 (video)

[upstater1]

I guess I somehow missed this pre-game below, but I wanted to note how Doug Flutie turned around to watch Ozzy as he came onto the field. For people who are of a certain age (50-58) the first Ozzy album took over the airwaves in 1979-1980, and it lived on my older brother's 8-Track. Fantastic to see him opening for the Patriots, and for sure I get Flutie not quite having his mind on the game precisely.

True dat, but before Ozzy struck out on his own, there was Black Sabbath, which still lives on at Chez Gwedd. Gets played religiously here.

Still remember this night, Zakk Wylde there as well.

I remember. I also remember Randy Moss caught like a 60 yard TD right off the bat against us.

I remember Ozzfest .......

 

[Patjew]

I was there. Even from the cheap seats you could tell he was totally out of it. It sucked.

Most of the fans were 1/2 in the bag ... not sure they noticed.

Zakk is still going strong with Black Label Society.

No reason to have videos from 2005 in standard def.
My oculonervous system gives that video a “dislike.”

No wonder the Pats didnt make the Super Bowl that season.

I cant hold a tune, but I can sing better than Ozzy.

I thought Zakk Wylde had died, and there was subsequently some bad press as Ozzy continued on without him..

Guess I was wrong, must've been thinking about someone else..

This WAS the start of the 10 year ‘drought ‘ now that you mention it.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Randy Rhoads?

Yep.RR passed away in the early 80s.

ZW is still alive

Ozzy was great 30 years ago.

I was there too. Man, did Ozzy sound bad that night.

More like 40-45 years ago

Sabbath started in 1968.
