Ozzy Osbourne: ''Iron Maiden Are Fucking Trouble'' [UPDATED]
Ozzy Osbourne and his wife/manager Sharon made an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show" on Sirius Satellite Radio on Friday, March 10. The following is a recap of their appearance on the show, as posted on Howard's official web site, HowardStern.com:"When Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne came into the studio, Howard commented that Sharon looked better than ever to him. Sharon responded that she recently spent $200,000 on plastic surgery and that part of her procedure involved doctors taking fat from her stomach and injecting it into the lines around her eyes. Sharon went on to mention that, like a getting a new car, she spaces out her time under the knife to about once every three years. This led Howard to again compliment Sharon on her looks, before admitting that, when he first met her, she was far less attractive than she is now. Howard then pointed out that he has always respected Ozzy because of his commitment to Sharon, even when she wasn't at her most attractive physically. Ozzy replied that he's been attracted to Sharon since being introduced to her, but that they rarely have sex anymore because of his inability to get an erection, a condition, he said, that has been caused by his dependence on antidepressants.
"Howard recalled that Ozzy, who was in New York to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of BLACK SABBATH, once called the supposed honor 'totally irrelevant.' Ozzy replied that his beliefs about The Hall haven't changed, but that he didn't want to spoil the occasion for his former band mates by not showing up. Ozzy added, though, that none of the members of BLACK SABBATH wants to perform at the event, so METALLICA, who will be inducting the band, will play two of their songs instead.
"When Howard found out that Sharon had her breasts reduced from an enhanced size 34D to a size 34B, he asked if he could see them. However, Sharon told Howard that her son, Jack, would disown her if she flashed him. Sharon went on to say that both Jack and his sister, Kelly, have slimmed down and are out on their own. Although Sharon wouldn't confirm that Jack is dating Kate Moss, she did mention that Kate has been given a bad rap for behavior in which all super models engage.
"Since Ozzy is about to embark on another tour this summer as a part of Ozzfest, Howard asked if he was doing it because the family needs money. Sharon insisted to Howard that she and Ozzy are doing well financially and that an autobiography she wrote brought in $10 million last year alone. Since Sharon mentioned her book, Howard wondered if one its stories — namely, the time Sharon claimed Ozzy drugged her food — actually happened. Sharon said it did and recalled that Ozzy put pot in a stew he had prepared for her while they were dating. However, Ozzy claimed that the drug in question was actually acid and that two of his friends were the ones responsible for the incident. Howard then asked Ozzy about Sharon's accusation that he once tried to kill her. Ozzy responded that, in one of his less-than-sober states, he got into an argument with Sharon before blacking out and waking up in a jail cell. Ozzy added that once he found out why he had been locked up, the reality of how bad his substance-abuse problem had become really sunk in.
"Richard Christy [ex-ICED EARTH/DEATH drummer and current 'The Howard Stern Show' employee] came into the studio and brought up the battle Sharon had with Bruce Dickinson of IRON MAIDEN. Sharon explained that she personally asked Bruce and his band to join the last Ozzfest tour and, despite the fact that IRON MAIDEN was being paid $185,000 per show, Bruce, out of what she called jealousy, badmouthed Ozzy on stage every night. Because of this, Sharon reported that she hired 200 'Hispanic kids,'' some of whom had worked at the hospital where she recovered from her bout with cancer, to throw eggs at Bruce during the final night of the tour. Sharon noted that the plan went off without a hitch and that Bruce had a difficult time looking serious onstage that show because of the 'eggshells in his mouth.'
"Following an argument about Sharon's alleged affair with Ozzy's former guitarist, Randy Rhoads, Sharon revealed that the family lost all of the $10 million it received from MTV's 'The Osbournes' on legal fees. Sharon explained that, after the show became such a hit, people started coming out of the woodwork demanding credit for coming up with its concept and that all of the family's earnings from it went into defending itself. Howard pointed out that, since he's experiencing the same problem with the money he's spending on lawyers, he understood Sharon's anger. Howard went on to say that what really bothered him about Sharon's story was that he was the one who actually came up with the idea for 'The Osbournes' after Ozzy and Sharon had been on the program years ago."

'In between disgraceful attacks on the legendary band, Sharon revealed that IRON MAIDEN were paid $185,000 a night.'
And worth every penny!
It's enough! Shut up Sharon, shut up Ozzy, just let Maiden be like Maiden let you be! It is enough!
Well said, Perun.
I think that there were lot,s of people who come to ozzfest just beacuse maiden where there .
So i think Maiden were worth evry penny , not just for maiden even for sharon and her wallet.
Up the iron,s
Okay, fine Sharon is a bitch and Ozzy a bastard. We as Maiden fans should let the matter lie and not cover what they say on at least this website. The more we ignore the wrong-doings of lesser people, the greater we become.
I went to Ozzfest last year to see Maiden only. Got to my seat as Ides of March was playing, and when Maiden finished thier set, I left. I heard Sabbath playing as I was driving away from the venue however.
oh he could just go and fuck himself... i'm getting really fucking mad now of all things "The" Osbournes are saying!!
Unbelievable people! Who on earth does talk about his sexual life in public just to earn publicity! Also Osbournes you f**ckin' suk!!!
Nobody cares about it any longer, except them. I find it very sad that Sharon is having to cash in on her husband's name and reputation, and that she is so obsessed that she cannot let the matter lie. As for all that plastic surgery she has had, it looks very vain compared to the money Maiden gave to the Katrina Red Cross fund after discovering about the anti-Sharon petition, doesn't it?
Do we really need to waste webspace with this cheap gossip?
Actually she ruined her husband reputation, Ozzy was a music legend and now he is a retard circurs freak attraction
What I don't understand is this... Why do they enjoy disgracing themselves on TV? Except for the money.
Iron Maiden Fucking Trouble?
Only reason they would be trouble for ozzy is because they are quite simply the biggest metal act on earth, would and did wipe the floor with every single band at ozzfest including sabbtah. THATS THE ONLY REASON THEY WERE AND CAN BE TRROUBLE FOR OZZY!
Now ive said my bit, i still believe us maiden fans should be the better people here and let it lie.

The article states, "Sharon responded that she recently spent $200,000 on plastic surgery and that part of her procedure involved doctors taking fat from her stomach and injecting it into the lines around her eyes."
Fat head.
The article also states, "Ozzy replied that he's been attracted to Sharon since being introduced to her, but that they rarely have sex anymore because of his inability to get an erection."
Poor Osbournes...Don’t you have something else to do ? YOU’RE THE SHAME OF ROCK. In spite of all you can do or say, Maiden was, is and will always be better than you and i think it is the real reason of all this shit ! You’re fucking jealous guys, that’s all !
Real rock doesn’t need (M)TV.
Up the Irons, fuck the bastards.
inerection, drugs and rock n roll, thats not Metal...
Ozzy and Sharon is talking about almost a year old happening. And their sex problems..
If it wasnt for Iron Maiden, Ozzfest would have sucked. My brother and My self left after Maiden performed. As for the Osbournes, they need to let it rest. The more Sharen and Ozzy talk, the more they sound like Blabbering Idiots.
we shouldn't be mad at ozzy for madmouthing maiden. I mean, if a mentally disabled kid comes to you: "your gay", we're not gonna discuss or start insulting him. You just say: "it's ok, he doesnt' know any better". We should do the same with ozzy, cause that guy's brains are totally fucked up. Everything he says is just what Sharon tells him to say.
Or, we could just get even and when sabbath plays, throw some eggs at the fuckers
