As for precise setlists, it will seem that every band can be holding it transient, enjoying just a few originals and a canopy of Sabbath.

Wylde himself laid out the essential overview of what the gameplan appears like:
“I feel all of the bands are going to do… let’s say, in the event that they do three or 4 songs, do two of their songs after which do one Sabbath tune. I feel that’s what everyone’s doing. All people’s going to pay tribute to Sabbath, after which we’ll sit and watch Sabbath on the finish of the evening, watch them crush it.”

“[Bassist] Mike Inez goes to be there. [Drummer] Michael Bordin goes to be there. [Drummer] Tommy Clufetos can be there. [Bassist] Robert Trujillo can be there, [keyboardist] Adam Wakeman…It’ll be everybody that’s performed with Ozzy over time. We’re going to determine it out once we get there.”
Nonetheless, whereas Osbourne and Sabbath proceed to point that this this present will effectively and actually be the tip, Wylde himself is hopeful that isn’t the case. He had the next to say about that:
“I’m positive the promoters are going to go, ‘Wow, that was fairly superb. Let’s do one other world tour proper now.’ I feel not solely will all the opposite bands be on the facet of the stage to observe the amazingness, I feel all of the promoters are going to be up there going, ‘Are you pondering what I’m pondering?’
He went on to say:
“If Oz sounds nice and every little thing like that, if he needs to proceed carrying on singing on a throne, we’ll simply make the throne so it goes out over the viewers. It shoots hearth and water and dragons come out of it. You already know what I imply? And we’ll make the throne a part of the present. It’d be superb.”
When the topic of the varied well being issues of Osbourne and returning Sabbath drummer Invoice Ward (neuropathy in his ft and extra) have been introduced up as a possible hurdle , Wylde joked, “We’ll see. Let’s simply pump Viagra and Cialis into each of them and let’s get this factor going. [Laughs].” Wylde then went on to specific his hope that this present is definitely simply the *ahem* starting of extra to come back, including:
“Why not? I actually suppose it will be nice. In the event that they do that Sabbath factor and it sounds superb, and Ozzy sings nice, and the band sounds superb, and the one distinction is Oz is simply sitting down, such as you stated, like Phil Collins. Why not, proper? You already know each promoter’s simply obtained their fingers crossed on this one.”
