Today's t-shirt is from the
Heaven And Hell concert my friend A-Bomb and I attended in 2007 at Rexall Place in Edmonton. Heaven And Hell is actually the Black Sabbath line up of
Ronnie James Dio,
Geezer Butler,
Tony Iommi and
Vinny Appice. They had to use the
Heaven And Hell name because of court shit with Ozzy. The opening bands for this show were
Megadeth and
Down. Down had cancelled because of border issues, so
Megadeth played for over an hour and put on a great show. This was my fifth time seeing Megadeth and probably the best performance I have seen them put on, I was quite impressed. As for Heaven And Hell, I wasn't all that impressed with their set, I thought they were alright but not as good as I was expecting.
Ronnie died in May of 2010 of stomach cancer, so that may have had something to do with the lacking performance. The show just wasn't as good as I was hoping.
It was funny during Heaven And Hell's show, A-Bomb and I had stepped outside for a smoke, while outside, we saw several people getting kicked out of the coliseum. Everyone of them were obviously drunk, and each one of them come out of the venue yelling "I saw Dave Mustaine kick ass" it seemed not one of them cared that they missed Heaven And hell's set, they were just happy to have seen Dave Mustaine and Megadeth. I guess you could say Megadeth stole this show.
RIP Ronnie, you are missed.
