That's flat out ridiculous.

I think this whole back and forth thing is insane. I don't care who's at fault. Work it out and stop acting like spoiled children. Oh well, I guess it's too late for that.

Yeah, pretty much. I mean, YOU ARE GROWN MEN.

Anyway, so it continues:

Quote:
Dear Sabbath Fans and Musicians,

I have read Geezer’s statement of May 19, 2012 titled “Heavy Heart.” Out of respect for the Birmingham gig, I wanted to wait 24 hours before releasing this statement. There are some points he brought up which I want to respond to.

1) I had indeed notified Ozzy, Tony and Geezer, well before my first public statement, that I was having contractual difficulties.

2) I came out into a public forum to be accountable to the fans primarily, and to say at a public level there’s a problem. The band members stopped talking and corresponding with me some time ago, with the exception of a nice letter from Tony on my birthday. Prior to that, Geezer and I were corresponding, but that stopped abruptly in late February after I emailed a specific question to him.

3) In my statement of May 15, I clearly stated I would play Birmingham for free. That was not a problem – charity or otherwise.

4) My Download fee was not an extravagant amount. Originally, when Download was part of a full tour, I had asked for a decent fee. More recently, as we were negotiating just Download/Birmingham and Lollapalooza, I told my attorney that I would accept the proposed small Download fee, but there were other parts of the offer that were unsatisfactory.

I will continue to be honest and respectful towards the band and our fans. I will also confront any untruths about me, and any fault finding missions aimed at me that come to my attention.

I hope the band and the fans had a good gig in Brum.

Stay safe/stay strong.
Bill Ward

So glad I saw them in 97. Too bad Dio died and we aren't listening to a new Black Sabbat...I mean Heaven & Hell album and tour.

Slash has pretty much taken the high road and does anybody understand what Axl put out.

No. But still, it's very disappointing.

the 1998 live record "reunion" is really good.

I miss those days were Ozzy wasnt on tv yet.
