Following the passage of noisy Justin Bieber, the Bell Centre hosted another show “special plugs. But this time, it was not the strident cries of thousands of pre-teen he had to protect the eardrums, but rather the heavy metal music of the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne.

Before we see it on stage, Ozzy appeared on the giant screen in a hilarious video of a few minutes. A little as did Billy Crystal at the Oscars, the singer slipped in several films and broadcasts. It has seen blue man in Avatar, a character insignificant in Jersey Shore, alongside Lady GaGa in their video phone and in the films The Hangover, Twilight and Iron Man. Like how to laugh at ourselves and set the tone for the evening, we could do better.

The drug is in the past

While most groups begin their performance with a song, Ozzy was presented on stage by directly addressing the crowd already very noisy. “You are wonderful people. I missed you. We will agree on one point: the harder you cry, the longer I’m going to play. Let the madness begin! ”

For a younger generation, Ozzy is the senile old who appeared for four seasons in The Osbournes reality TV. The former leader of Black Sabbath, one of the groups considered pioneers of heavy metal, lost a gallon during the last decade. The reason? A high consumption of drugs and alcohol he had most likely burned more than one cell.

But now, Ozzy claims to be sober for several years and the concert Tuesday night was promising.

Or would we witness yet another uneven performance of a sexagenarian who refuses to retire?

The answer was soon coming soon realized since Ozzy had recovered his spirits and he was here to have fun and deliver a concert worthy of its reputation of old. The singer who turns 62 on December 3 has not tried to take a young person in their twenties.

Shaped

He still showed surprisingly fit, constantly interacting with the crowd, jumping and running on stage during the instrumental portions. And true to form, he sprayed foam front rows of spectators. Really, sobriety is well suited to the prince of darkness.

Although the reason for his visit was the promotion of his tenth solo album, Scream ¸ published last June, Ozzy has almost completely avoided, only playing Let Me Hear You Scream. The singer has instead offered to music fans of his early solo albums, as well as some parts Black Sabbath (War Pigs whose intense). It would of course keep the Crazy Train, Mama I’m Coming Home and Paranoid to the very end. A show far from disappointing.

A bit of Judas Priest

In part, fans were treated to the performance of Rob Halford, former leader of Judas Priest. Known for his voice spans several octaves, the singer of 59 years has demonstrated that he still had good vocal chords, even if his performance did not lift the crowd. “Thanks to the fans of Priest and Ozzy. Thank you still have faith in heavy metal, thank you for keeping it alive. “

Maybe their name, Train, do not sound like much, despite U.S. sell out stadiums with U2 as easily as it does in Europe. But his song ‘Hey soul sister’ had been chasing all summer, part of the spring and now this fall. A nice tune, out of a television ad that Samsung, ukulele in hand, has become a revelation in 2010.

The funny thing about history is that while it may seem, the Train boys are not newcomers to this business. “Instead, we almost some old. We have 16-year career, we are not about kids,” she tells Que.es Scott Underwood, guitarist of the band. What happened then for training and follow still going under the musical radar in our country? The answer, blunt, he does Scott.
