Birmingham Show
Hello readers,
Well, rehearsals are finally finished, and now for the nervous part, playing our home town gig. Since it is a warm up show, there will probably be a few glitches , but remember it’s all in a good cause, since we’ll be donating to the “Help For Heroes” charity, a fantastic charity that helps our troops who have been wounded in recent wars. No matter what your feelings about the wars are, these men and women willingly dedicate their lives for our defence and freedom. I hope the people who are making profits by re-selling the tickets to real fans find it in their hearts to do the right thing and donate at least some of their gains to the charity.
Thanks for caring.
Geezer
You wouldn’t believe the amount my mate paid for them on evil bay . I mean e bay! Let’s some of them who were sellin em make a donation, but I wouldnt hold my breath! I’m lookin forward to it very much…..gonna be a great night……
good luck for the gig tomorow, and what a great choice of charity to donate the money too, cant wait to see you guys again, this will be the first time i will have seen you in a small venue and its gonna be great.
I feel bad for the replacement drummer. I would hate to play a show in a band’s hometown when everyone at the show wants the original drummer and not me. What a sad state of affairs. At least I still have the old records.
Like Kevin I had to buy mine on ebay for a high price. At least some of it went to HFH and I get to see Sabbath on Saturday. I can’t wait. I don’t want perfection in a gig I wanna hear some great Rock music, which I will. See you there!
I feel complelty betrayed by this sabbath reunion bill ward nonsense. As if you just couldnt play as sabbath. What is the point now? money? at lease charity is involved in that gig. Been a Sabbath fan for years flying back to England just to see sabbath at download and now just feel like it was wasted. Really is pretty shameful.
Black Sabbath should make it so there is an exclusive right to each of the original members to CHOOSE to play with the band AND the compensation should be split equally. If one member chooses not to play then the remaining band can license the right to perform without the other member(s) at some agreed rate (significantly less since they are doing nothing). As it stands it seems like Bill Ward was left off this tour due to some agreements that were less than favorable. It’s bad for the fans. The four of you really need to come together. Clearly there was an equal creative input that has stood the test of time and needs to be recognized.
Ticketmaster will be the main beneficarys of this concert. I dont hear them donating the proceeds for their GETme in rip off website to Help for Heros .
Love to know what proportion of the total proceeds banked by ticketmaster get to Charity.
