Sosso Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I don't know if anyone else has noticed but this will actually be the first time for the Rock or Bust line up to performe live. What are you expectations for the show in regards of the performance, stage design and the setlist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I wonder who else will play on that night? Ozzy just cancelled. https://blabbermouth.net/news/ozzy-osbourne-cancels-performance-at-power-trip-festival-im-just-not-ready-yet I assume ACDC's setlist will be pretty normal, probably open with Rock Or Bust then play 90 minutes of hits. Best case scenario maybe they bring Axl out for Whole Lotta Rosie, but I'm not holding my breath... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I suspect if it's an older band replacing Ozzy it'll be Judas Priest, but it's not a certainty that it will be an older band that replaces him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Bummer for Ozz I think it’ll be Aerosmith, Rage, or Bon Jovi Foos are cool but would be kind of lame just cause they’re everywhere Either way, big blow to the festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt the Foos will be playing - they've already got a show in Phoenix on the 5th and Austin on the 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Zeppelin reunion has always been a dream for me. Not only will it not happen again, but Plant and co. would never agree to do it for an event like this. Plant anllegedly even declined a reunion at Desert Trip which was a notch above this one. These nostalgia events are exactly what he doesn’t want to do. Celebration Day was a great ending. I selfishly pine for a reunion so I can see it in person, but they are too old now. Plant and Jones could do it but I doubt Page could match his playing in 2007. Why invite that can of worms when Celebration Day was a triumphant finale? If they ever played together again, I’d love an acoustic/orchestra/world focus like the Sensational Shape Shifters, but even that is a faraway pipe dream. Too many people would want the songs how they remember them for the band to do that. I also don’t see Geddy or Alex doing this, and they definitely wouldn’t call it Rush so that is out of the question. Always good to see them, though. I agree that they can’t really replace Ozzy. He was very important for this novelty lineup. I think him bowing out due to health and age really just drives home that this event is even 6-7 years minimum too late.

Agree with pretty much everything here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTK Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Personally I think Brian will sound awful, unfortunately he's been sounding so bad on the odd appearance he's done , not bad as a myles Kennedy one tone drowning cat ,tone...but bad And I love ACDC, such a shame what happened to him went down, but we got Axl/DC and that was up there with the best gigs I've seen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) It’s Judas Priest Lame imo. They are missing both of their guitar players and they are the only act on the bill that cant pack at least an arena. Not even close to matching Ozzy Still, I get why they got the slot, it works symbolically and Firepower is an awesome modern- day album from and old band. Edit- At least it isn’t an Eddie-less Van Halen Edited July 11, 2023 by ZoSoRose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 With Priest on the line-up, it would've made a lot more sense for Friday to be Priest/Maiden and Saturday to be GnR/ACDC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradise City and For Those About To Rock are perfect "last songs" on a setlist. They should be played on two different evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I thought Aerosmith might have been added but just saw it’s Priest. It’s scary that Ozzy pulled out, he’s been using vocal tracks and vocal fillers for a few years now, so this means he cant stand for 80 minutes even to pretend sing. Tony recently said Sabbath were asked to do Powertrip and he declined as he didn’t think Ozzy was up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack destroyed his Achilles tendon. Only 8% of it remains intact. No coming back from that. He will never walk again. EDIT: Just did a quick Google search out of curiosity. Apparently RATM put out a statement just a month ago saying they promise to never play venues that require facial recognition to get in. I guess the fact that they’re even thinking about future shows is a good sign. So maybe Zack is making a miraculous recovery, somehow.

And I'm not sure if they all get along that well. As for Zack? Where did you hear that?? Highly doubt it's that severe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even that portion was severely compromised. It’s not simply a question of being able to perform again, but extends to basic functionality going forward.” And Patton said his psychological problems were triggered by being in quarantine for over a year due to the pandemic.

Even if it is sitting down. Liam Gallagher also doesn't move during his shows. As for Patton, he did some shows recently, no? Like I said, there I get the feeling, based on something I read a while ago, don't know exactly where or what it was. that there are other issues and he is not really that interested anymore.

He initially blamed his backing out of the FNM tour on agoraphobia (due to Covid quarantine) but yeah he has since toured with Bungle. Not sure if it’s him who’s mad at the rest of FNM, or the other way around, or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
