"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco rock legends Metallica brought the capital city of Wales to a screeching halt over the weekend with a series of firsts.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>To start with, June 28 was the first time the band had played the small Celtic nation (total population: 3 million) in 30 years. Then — possibly as a result of the length of time between visits — the metal icons managed to sell 76,000 tickets for a single show, making it the largest single concert to ever happen in Wales. At least 13 roads around the city center closed in preparation for the event.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Excitement built for days before the Principality Stadium gig, with fans and revelers holding full-blown Metallica street parties outside a variety of pubs, occasionally \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DaGq8wqsBeg/?hl=en\">spotting band members\u003c/a> as they did so. Then, during the show, bassist Rob Trujillo and guitarist Kirk Hammett performed \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1089392840935142\">a cover of Tom Jones’ “Delilah,”\u003c/a> a song the Welsh traditionally like to sing at weddings, parties and sporting events. “Delilah” was recently banned from the Principality Stadium for having lyrics that some domestic violence charities objected to. Still, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.walesonline.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/metallica-cardiff-review-waited-30-34201483\">review from WalesOnline\u003c/a> noted that the cover got “one of the biggest cheers of the night.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFKKCM1lXuQ&list=RDgFKKCM1lXuQ&start_radio=1\n\u003c/div>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>But it was after Metallica left Cardiff that the Welsh really got a taste of Metallica’s mettle. The band donated £20,000 (roughly $26,500) to \u003ca href=\"https://cardiff.foodbank.org.uk/\">Cardiff Foodbank\u003c/a> — the largest celebrity donation the charity has ever received. (In June 2024 during her Eras tour, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/tag/taylor-swift\">Taylor Swift\u003c/a> also gave Cardiff Foodbank enough cash to provide three-day emergency food parcels to 925 people.) \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Rachel Biggs, chief executive of the organization, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DaLdI29Ax7L/\">told BBC Radio Wales\u003c/a> on Monday morning that the Metallica cash would provide 9,000 meals to a thousand people in need, in South Wales. “It’s incredible that celebrities are using their status to donate and raise awareness of causes such as ours,” Biggs noted. “It’s going to make an incredible difference.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this financial offering took Wales entirely by surprise, Metallica has been donating to charities all over the world since 2017, when the band’s members and crew started the \u003ca href=\"https://www.allwithinmyhands.org/\">All Within My Hands\u003c/a> foundation (AWMH). The organization gives back to cities that welcome Metallica on tour and helps incentivize fans to participate in blood drives by giving participants limited edition merch.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.welsh-blood.org.uk/metallica/\">Metallica’s efforts in Wales\u003c/a> also marked the first time that UK blood services had ever partnered with a band to champion blood donation. Simon Campbell-Daves, of Welsh Blood Service, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cnv9elgvz5lo\">told the BBC\u003c/a>: “We cannot be any more thankful to [the fans that donated] and to Metallica for their support in making this happen. It’s been incredible.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Before Metallica had even arrived in Cardiff, Wales’ neighbors in Ireland were on the receiving end of even larger donations.

Stacy consistently seemed to have the best sources, and sometimes from multiple camera angles, too. What’s more, he had over 5,000 shows from all over Northern California from the past 50 years, by punk, metal, modern rock, funk, thrash and indie bands — famous names and obscure footnotes alike. And, remarkably, it was evident he still went out to shows, and filmed new bands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Who was this one-man Library of Congress for West Coast Gen Xers?

When he was 15, he went by himself to see Iron Maiden and the Scorpions at the Sacramento Memorial Stadium, in 1982, and he still remembers its impact. “As soon as I felt that sound pressure hitting my chest, I’m like, ‘This is the best thing I’ve ever seen,’” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13979223\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13979223\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/250724-SACRAMENTOMUSICARCHIVE-24-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/250724-SACRAMENTOMUSICARCHIVE-24-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/250724-SACRAMENTOMUSICARCHIVE-24-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/250724-SACRAMENTOMUSICARCHIVE-24-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/07/250724-SACRAMENTOMUSICARCHIVE-24-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The boxes of VHS tapes, reel-to-reels and cassettes at the Sacramento Music Archive may seem haphazardly organized, but Shayne Stacy keeps a reliable mental inventory of each tapes’ location.

Soon, Stacy was bringing cheap tape recorders to shows, and sharing the results with other fans who traded tapes through the classifieds in the backs of fan magazines. In 1987, after witnessing the El Sobrante punk band Isocracy, who routinely threw heaps of garbage all over the crowd, Stacy had an epiphany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s paper all over the floor, and it’s just a chaotic environment, and I said to myself, ‘I have to buy a video camera to document this stuff,’” Stacy remembers. “I stopped all of my excess expenditures, making five bucks an hour, and saved for four months to buy my own video camera.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1988 and 1992, Stacy estimates, he filmed 240 shows, driving to venues in Sacramento or the Bay Area every weekend. Trading with others through the mail, he amassed even more tapes. But there was a downside: he began seeing his own footage, of shows by \u003ca href=\"https://sacramentomusicarchive.com/1989/08/26/primus-cattle-club-sacramento-ca-8-26-89-xfer-from-8mm-master-live-enhanced/\">Primus\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVvJQfgRl7o\">Nirvana\u003c/a> playing at the Cattle Club in Sacramento, bootlegged and sold by others for profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was like, no fun anymore,” Stacy says. “This was supposed to be a hobby I enjoyed, and it turned into this point of frustration.

Stacy says it “liberated” everything: the fans didn’t have to pay $30 for a grainy VHS tape anymore, the copyright holders got paid — not enough, but something — and he got to enjoy his hobby again. He rushed out and bought the best cassette decks and VCRs he could find, and got to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One person who noticed the quality of Stacy’s work early on is Wayne Vanderkuil. “I work at Stanford in visual preservation, reformatting, and he had similar equipment to what we have here,” Vanderkuil says. “I was incredibly impressed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the tape-trading days, Vanderkuil amassed his own collection of metal bands playing at Ruthie’s Inn, Wolfgang’s or the On Broadway. They sat in storage for 25 years, untouched, he says. “I thought, ‘No one’s ever gonna hear these. I’ll drop dead tomorrow, and there goes history.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, he donated his tapes to Stacy. Vanderkuil is now president of the board of the Sacramento Music Archive, newly incorporated as a nonprofit, which will allow Stacy — who worked at Intel for 27 years and recently accepted an “incredibly generous” buyout offer — to \u003ca href=\"https://www.patreon.com/c/sacramentomusicarchive/membership\">take donations\u003c/a> and apply for grants. Most importantly, it’ll set up his life’s work to continue into the future.

He really is the go-to archive for Northern California, and has captured a significant part of the music scene.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another donor, Rick Sylvain, who in his 12 years working at Berkeley radio station KALX helped start the long-running \u003cem>KALX Live!\u003c/em> show, with bands playing in the cramped studio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was kind of stinky sometimes — they spilled a lot of beer in there — but it was fun, and I taped everything,” he says. “Some of these little bands, it was their one big moment in the sun, and I wanted them to feel like they were stars.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One little band that fulfilled that promise of stardom was AFI, who would go on to headline arenas.

Soon, Stacy was bringing cheap tape recorders to shows, and sharing the results with other fans who traded tapes through the classifieds in the backs of fan magazines. In 1987, after witnessing the El Sobrante punk band Isocracy, who routinely threw heaps of garbage all over the crowd, Stacy had an epiphany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s paper all over the floor, and it’s just a chaotic environment, and I said to myself, ‘I have to buy a video camera to document this stuff,’” Stacy remembers. “I stopped all of my excess expenditures, making five bucks an hour, and saved for four months to buy my own video camera.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1988 and 1992, Stacy estimates, he filmed 240 shows, driving to venues in Sacramento or the Bay Area every weekend. Trading with others through the mail, he amassed even more tapes. But there was a downside: he began seeing his own footage, of shows by \u003ca href=\"https://sacramentomusicarchive.com/1989/08/26/primus-cattle-club-sacramento-ca-8-26-89-xfer-from-8mm-master-live-enhanced/\">Primus\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVvJQfgRl7o\">Nirvana\u003c/a> playing at the Cattle Club in Sacramento, bootlegged and sold by others for profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was like, no fun anymore,” Stacy says. “This was supposed to be a hobby I enjoyed, and it turned into this point of frustration.

He rushed out and bought the best cassette decks and VCRs he could find, and got to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One person who noticed the quality of Stacy’s work early on is Wayne Vanderkuil. “I work at Stanford in visual preservation, reformatting, and he had similar equipment to what we have here,” Vanderkuil says. “I was incredibly impressed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the tape-trading days, Vanderkuil amassed his own collection of metal bands playing at Ruthie’s Inn, Wolfgang’s or the On Broadway. They sat in storage for 25 years, untouched, he says. “I thought, ‘No one’s ever gonna hear these. I’ll drop dead tomorrow, and there goes history.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, he donated his tapes to Stacy. Vanderkuil is now president of the board of the Sacramento Music Archive, newly incorporated as a nonprofit, which will allow Stacy — who worked at Intel for 27 years and recently accepted an “incredibly generous” buyout offer — to \u003ca href=\"https://www.patreon.com/c/sacramentomusicarchive/membership\">take donations\u003c/a> and apply for grants.

He was 76.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,” a family statement from Birmingham, England, said. In 2020, he revealed he had Parkinson’s disease after suffering a fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Either clad in black or bare-chested, the singer was often the target of parents’ groups for his imagery and once caused an uproar for biting the head off a bat.

It came during the height of the Vietnam War and crashed the hippie party, dripping menace and foreboding. The cover of the record was of a spooky figure against a stark landscape. The music was loud, dense and angry, and marked a shift in rock ’n’ roll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The band’s second album, \u003cem>Paranoid\u003c/em>, included such classic metal tunes as “War Pigs,” “Iron Man” and “Fairies Wear Boots.” The song “Paranoid” only reached No. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100 but became in many ways the band’s signature song. Both albums were voted among the top 10 greatest heavy metal albums of all time by readers of Rolling Stone magazine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Black Sabbath are the Beatles of heavy metal.

But we were all very down about the situation,” wrote bassist Terry “Geezer” Butler in his memoir, \u003cem>Into the Void\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osbourne reemerged the next year as a solo artist with \u003cem>Blizzard of Ozz\u003c/em> and the following year’s \u003cem>Diary of a Madman\u003c/em>, both hard rock classics that went multiplatinum and spawned enduring favorites such as “Crazy Train,” “Goodbye to Romance,” “Flying High Again” and “You Can’t Kill Rock and Roll.” Osbourne was twice inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — once with Sabbath in 2006 and again in 2024 as a solo artist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original Sabbath lineup reunited for the first time in 20 years in July for what Osbourne said would be his final concert. “Let the madness begin!” he told 42,000 fans in Birmingham.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Metallica, Guns N Roses, Slayer, Tool, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Halestorm, Anthrax, Rival Sons and Mastodon all did sets. Tom Morello, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Billy Corgan, Ronnie Wood, Travis Barker, Sammy Hagar and more made appearances. Actor Jason Momoa was the host for the festivities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Black Sabbath: we’d all be different people without them, that’s the truth,” said Pantera singer Phil Anselmo. “I know I wouldn’t be up here with a microphone in my hand without Black Sabbath.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Outlandish exploits and a classic look\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Osbourne embodied the excesses of metal. His outlandish exploits included relieving himself on the Alamo, snorting a line of ants off a sidewalk and, most memorably, biting the head off the live bat that a fan threw onstage during a 1981 concert. (He said he thought it was rubber.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osbourne was sued in 1987 by parents of a 19-year-old teen who died by suicide while listening to his song “Suicide Solution.” The lawsuit was dismissed. Osbourne said the song was really about the dangers of alcohol, which caused the death of his friend Bon Scott, lead singer of AC/DC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then-Cardinal John J. O’Connor of New York claimed in 1990 that Osbourne’s songs led to demonic possession and even suicide. “You are ignorant about the true meaning of my songs,” the singer wrote back. “You have also insulted the intelligence of rock fans all over the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lD5bfqzr6E\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Audiences at Osbourne shows could be mooned or spit on by the singer. They would often be hectored to scream along with the song, but the Satan-invoking Osbourne would usually send the crowds home with their ears ringing and a hearty “God bless!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He started an annual tour — Ozzfest — in 1996 after he was rejected from the lineup of what was then the top touring music festival, Lollapalooza. Ozzfest has gone on to host such bands as Slipknot, Tool, Megadeth, Rob Zombie, System of a Down, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osbourne’s look changed little over his life. He wore his long hair flat, heavy black eye makeup and round glasses, often wearing a cross around his neck. In 2013, he reunited with Black Sabbath for the dour, raw \u003cem>13\u003c/em>, which reached No. 1 on the U.K. Albums Chart and peaked at No. 86 on the U.S. Billboard 200. In 2019, he had a Top 10 hit when featured on Post Malone’s “Take What You Want,” Osbourne’s first song in the Top 10 since 1989.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2020, he released the album \u003cem>Ordinary Man\u003c/em>, which had as its title song a duet with Elton John. “I’ve been a bad guy, been higher than the blue sky/And the truth is I don’t wanna die an ordinary man,” he sang. In 2022, he landed his first career back-to-back No. 1 rock radio singles from his album \u003cem>Patient Number 9\u003c/em>, which featured collaborations with Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Mike McCready, Chad Smith, Robert Trujillo and Duff McKagan. It earned four Grammy nominations, winning two. (Osbourne won five Grammys over his lifetime.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2024, Jack Black called him the “greatest frontman in the history of rock ‘n’ roll” and “the Jack Nicholson of rock.” Osbourne thanked his fans, his guitarist Randy Rhoads and his longtime wife, Sharon.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The beginnings of Black Sabbath\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>John Michael Osbourne was raised in the gritty city of Birmingham. Kids in school nicknamed him Ozzy, short for his surname. As a boy, he loved the Four Seasons, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. The Beatles made a huge impression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They came from Liverpool, which was approximately 60 miles north of where I come from,” he told \u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em>. “So all of a sudden it was in my grasp, but I never thought it would be as successful as it became.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late 1960s, Osbourne had teamed up with Butler, guitarist Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward as the Polka Tulk Blues Band. They decided to rename the band Earth, but found to their dismay there was another band with that name. So they changed the name to the American title of the classic Italian horror movie \u003cem>I Tre Volti Della Paura\u003c/em>, starring Boris Karloff: Black Sabbath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once they found their sludgy, ominous groove, the band was productive, putting out their self-titled debut and \u003cem>Paranoid\u003c/em> in 1970, \u003cem>Master of Reality\u003c/em> in 1971, \u003cem>Vol. 4\u003c/em> in 1972 and \u003cem>Sabbath Bloody Sabbath\u003c/em> in 1973.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The music was all about industrial guitar riffs and disorienting changes in time signatures, along with lyrics that spoke of alienation and doom. “People think I’m insane because I am frowning all the time,” Osbourne sang in one song. “All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy/Think I’ll lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Guardian\u003c/em> newspaper in 2009 said the band “introduced working-class anger, stoner sludge grooves and witchy horror-rock to flower power. Black Sabbath confronted the empty platitudes of the 1960s and, along with Altamont and Charles Manson, almost certainly helped kill off the hippy counterculture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Sabbath, Osbourne had an uncanny knack for calling some of the most creative young guitarists to his side. When he went solo, he hired the brilliant innovator Rhoads, who played on two of Osbourne’s finest solo albums, \u003cem>Blizzard of Ozz\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Diary of a Madman\u003c/em>. Rhoads was killed in a freak plane accident in 1982; Osbourne released the live album \u003cem>Tribute\u003c/em> in 1987 in his memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osbourne then signed Jake E. Lee, who lent his talents to the platinum albums \u003cem>Bark at the Moon\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Ultimate Sin\u003c/em>. Hotshot Zakk Wylde joined Osbourne’s band for “No Rest for the Wicked” and the multiplatinum “No More Tears.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They come along, they sprout wings, they blossom, and they fly off,” Osbourne said of his players in 1995 to The Associated Press. “But I have to move on. To get a new player now and again boosts me on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Courting controversy — and wholesomeness\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Whomever he was playing with, Osbourne wasn’t likely to back down from controversy. He had the last laugh when the TV evangelist the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart in 1986 lambasted various rock groups and rock magazines as “the new pornography,” prompting some retailers to pull Osbourne’s album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Swaggart later was caught with a sex worker in 1988, Osbourne put out the song “Miracle Man” about his foe: “Miracle man got busted/miracle man got busted,” he sang. “Today I saw a Miracle Man, on TV cryin’/Such a hypocritical man, born again, dying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much later, a whole new Osbourne would be revealed when \u003cem>The Osbournes\u003c/em>, which ran on MTV from 2002-2005, showed this one-time self-proclaimed madman drinking Diet Cokes as he struggled to find the History Channel on his new satellite television or warning his kids not to smoke or drink before they embarked on a night on the town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, he and his son Jack toured America on the travel show \u003cem>Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour\u003c/em>, where the pair visited such places as Mount Rushmore and the Space Center Houston. Osbourne was honored in 2014 with the naming of a bat frog found in the Amazon that makes high-pitched, batlike calls. It was dubbed Dendropsophus ozzyi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also met Queen Elizabeth II during her Golden Jubilee weekend. He was standing next to singer-actor Cliff Richard. “She took one look at the two of us, said ‘Oh, so this is what they call variety, is it?’ then cracked up laughing. I honestly thought that Sharon had slipped some acid into my cornflakes that morning,” he wrote in \u003cem>I Am Ozzy\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thelma Riley and Osbourne married in 1971; Osbourne adopted her son Elliot Kingsley, and they had two more children, Jessica and Louis. Osbourne later met Sharon, who became her own celebrity persona, when she was running her father’s Los Angeles office. Her father was Don Arden, a top concert promoter and artist manager. She went to Osbourne’s hotel in Los Angeles to collect money, which Osbourne had spent on drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She says she’ll come back in three days and I’d better have it. I’d always fancied her and I thought, ‘Ah, she’s coming back! Maybe I have a chance.’ I had pizza hanging from my hair, cigarette ashes on my shirt,” he told the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> in 2000. They married in 1982, had three children — Kelly, Aimee and Jack — and endured periodic separations and reconciliations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is survived by Sharon, and his children.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Kids in school nicknamed him Ozzy, short for his surname. As a boy, he loved the Four Seasons, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. The Beatles made a huge impression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They came from Liverpool, which was approximately 60 miles north of where I come from,” he told \u003cem>Billboard\u003c/em>. “So all of a sudden it was in my grasp, but I never thought it would be as successful as it became.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late 1960s, Osbourne had teamed up with Butler, guitarist Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward as the Polka Tulk Blues Band. They decided to rename the band Earth, but found to their dismay there was another band with that name. So they changed the name to the American title of the classic Italian horror movie \u003cem>I Tre Volti Della Paura\u003c/em>, starring Boris Karloff: Black Sabbath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once they found their sludgy, ominous groove, the band was productive, putting out their self-titled debut and \u003cem>Paranoid\u003c/em> in 1970, \u003cem>Master of Reality\u003c/em> in 1971, \u003cem>Vol. 4\u003c/em> in 1972 and \u003cem>Sabbath Bloody Sabbath\u003c/em> in 1973.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The music was all about industrial guitar riffs and disorienting changes in time signatures, along with lyrics that spoke of alienation and doom. “People think I’m insane because I am frowning all the time,” Osbourne sang in one song. “All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy/Think I’ll lose my mind if I don’t find something to pacify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Guardian\u003c/em> newspaper in 2009 said the band “introduced working-class anger, stoner sludge grooves and witchy horror-rock to flower power. Black Sabbath confronted the empty platitudes of the 1960s and, along with Altamont and Charles Manson, almost certainly helped kill off the hippy counterculture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Sabbath, Osbourne had an uncanny knack for calling some of the most creative young guitarists to his side. When he went solo, he hired the brilliant innovator Rhoads, who played on two of Osbourne’s finest solo albums, \u003cem>Blizzard of Ozz\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Diary of a Madman\u003c/em>. Rhoads was killed in a freak plane accident in 1982; Osbourne released the live album \u003cem>Tribute\u003c/em> in 1987 in his memory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osbourne then signed Jake E. Lee, who lent his talents to the platinum albums \u003cem>Bark at the Moon\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Ultimate Sin\u003c/em>. Hotshot Zakk Wylde joined Osbourne’s band for “No Rest for the Wicked” and the multiplatinum “No More Tears.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They come along, they sprout wings, they blossom, and they fly off,” Osbourne said of his players in 1995 to The Associated Press. “But I have to move on. To get a new player now and again boosts me on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Courting controversy — and wholesomeness\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Whomever he was playing with, Osbourne wasn’t likely to back down from controversy. He had the last laugh when the TV evangelist the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart in 1986 lambasted various rock groups and rock magazines as “the new pornography,” prompting some retailers to pull Osbourne’s album.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Swaggart later was caught with a sex worker in 1988, Osbourne put out the song “Miracle Man” about his foe: “Miracle man got busted/miracle man got busted,” he sang. “Today I saw a Miracle Man, on TV cryin’/Such a hypocritical man, born again, dying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much later, a whole new Osbourne would be revealed when \u003cem>The Osbournes\u003c/em>, which ran on MTV from 2002-2005, showed this one-time self-proclaimed madman drinking Diet Cokes as he struggled to find the History Channel on his new satellite television or warning his kids not to smoke or drink before they embarked on a night on the town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, he and his son Jack toured America on the travel show \u003cem>Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour\u003c/em>, where the pair visited such places as Mount Rushmore and the Space Center Houston. Osbourne was honored in 2014 with the naming of a bat frog found in the Amazon that makes high-pitched, batlike calls. It was dubbed Dendropsophus ozzyi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also met Queen Elizabeth II during her Golden Jubilee weekend. He was standing next to singer-actor Cliff Richard. “She took one look at the two of us, said ‘Oh, so this is what they call variety, is it?’ then cracked up laughing. I honestly thought that Sharon had slipped some acid into my cornflakes that morning,” he wrote in \u003cem>I Am Ozzy\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thelma Riley and Osbourne married in 1971; Osbourne adopted her son Elliot Kingsley, and they had two more children, Jessica and Louis. Osbourne later met Sharon, who became her own celebrity persona, when she was running her father’s Los Angeles office. Her father was Don Arden, a top concert promoter and artist manager. She went to Osbourne’s hotel in Los Angeles to collect money, which Osbourne had spent on drugs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She says she’ll come back in three days and I’d better have it. I’d always fancied her and I thought, ‘Ah, she’s coming back! Maybe I have a chance.’ I had pizza hanging from my hair, cigarette ashes on my shirt,” he told the \u003cem>Los Angeles Times\u003c/em> in 2000. They married in 1982, had three children — Kelly, Aimee and Jack — and endured periodic separations and reconciliations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I have a fear that all the songs kind of end up sounding the same. So I like giving them a little more character with different things,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13875915']Another change is that on \u003cem>72 Seasons\u003c/em>, Hammett and Trujillo were given writing credits on more than half the album, a return to the way previous albums came together, like “Death Magnetic” and “St. Anger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All four guys were on the floor when we were writing, which is new for us. Usually it’s just Lars and I sitting out there hashing it out. It felt really great to have the energy of all four,” says Hetfield. “There’s a lot more democracy on this album. Lars and I gave up the steering wheel a little more than usual.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hammett agrees: “It was much more collaborative. The attitude was just more open. There is less limitations on everyone’s creativity and I think that shows.” His favorite song and riff on the album were supplied by Trujillo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The band has lately gotten a popular bounce from TV show \u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em>. In the season four finale, fan-favorite character Eddie Munson heroically rocks out to Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” in the Upside Down, a sequence Hammett calls “the Metallica music video that was never made.” The song even reached No. 40 the Billboard Hot 100.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“\u003cem>Stranger Things\u003c/em> definitely took ‘Master of Puppets’ to another level and it feels like fans of ours that maybe grew up with this are now in positions of power,” says Hetfield. “You know, it’s like, ‘Hey, I’m a fan of Metallica. Why can’t we put this in there?’ So I’m super-grateful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13927739\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13927739\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/GettyImages-1449774458-scaled-e1681408100103-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A white man sits at a large drum kit, his mouth open in a scream, his drumsticks raised at his sides.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/GettyImages-1449774458-scaled-e1681408100103-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/GettyImages-1449774458-scaled-e1681408100103-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/GettyImages-1449774458-scaled-e1681408100103-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/GettyImages-1449774458-scaled-e1681408100103-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/GettyImages-1449774458-scaled-e1681408100103-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/04/GettyImages-1449774458-scaled-e1681408100103.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lars Ulrich performing with Metallica in Los Angeles, December 2022. \u003ccite>(Jeff Kravitz/Getty Images for P+ and MTV)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The album closes with “Inamorata,” a sprawling song that uncoils with snarling riffs as Hetfield sings, “Misery, she needs me/ Oh, but I need her more.” It clocks in at 11:10, making it one of Metallica’s longest songs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hate long songs.

How great!’ You know, there’s no mission there whatsoever. The song wrote itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans may hope to hear many of the new songs on the band’s upcoming European and North American stadium tour but not everyone will have the same experience. Metallica plans to hit cities with two concerts per stop and promise two completely different setlists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We kind of need to be challenged because we’ve been playing these songs for so long and we need to change them around to still make them interesting and fun for us,” says Hammett.

And if they want to come to both shows, that would be fantastic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2023 AP.

"content": "\u003cp>Lightning-fast guitar solos, a laser light show, a 75-member orchestra and a packed arena of 18,000 Metallica fans in black band T-shirts. That was the scene at Friday’s inaugural concert at \u003ca href=\"https://www.chasecenter.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chase Center\u003c/a>, the state-of-the-art new Warriors stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A meeting of the minds as powerful as Metallica and San Francisco Symphony was only right to christen such an impressive building, which felt epic simply by virtue of its enormous size and spotless, glass-paneled facade. With LED screens everywhere, Chase Center takes every opportunity to remind you it’s of the 21st century. Unlike the comparatively dusty yet charming Oracle Arena, built in 1966, everything about it exudes wealth—a monument to new-money San Francisco complete with $11 pizza slices and $15 tall cans of Budweiser (which were peanuts for show-goers who paid up to $9,000 a ticket for Friday’s concert).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a new arena, a world-class f-cking arena in our own backyard,” announced Metallica’s Lars Ulrich. “F-ck yeah!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13865922\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13865922\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Metallica fans line up outside of Chase Center for the new arena's debut concert featuring the rock legends and San Francisco Symphony.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Metallica fans line up outside of Chase Center for the new arena’s debut concert featuring the rock legends and San Francisco Symphony. \u003ccite>(Nastia Voynovskaya)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ulrich’s drum kit was perched in the center of a circular, revolving stage, which made for a dynamic presentation. Singer-guitarist James Hetfield, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo orbited him, moving freely about. Surrounding them were the stationary orchestra musicians, with Edwin Outwater conducting the first half of the concert and San Francisco Symphony music director Michael Tilson Thomas (who is set to retire this year after 25 years) conducting the second half.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After opening with a cover of Spaghetti Western classic “Ecstasy of Gold,” Metallica’s players got to shredding, wasting no time before launching into solos on “The Call of Ktulu,” another instrumental, and the sludgy “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although thrilling in its virtuosity, the first half of the show sounded more like a Metallica concert than a collaboration with the symphony—at least from my vantage point in the nosebleeds. The orchestra players were often inaudible over Ulrich’s thunderous drum kit, by far the loudest thing in the arena, and it was difficult to pick up on the nuance of the instrumentation the late Michael Kamen arranged for the two musical powerhouses when they first collaborated on the live album \u003cem>S&M\u003c/em> in 1999.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13864717,arts_13865435,news_11771940' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stripped-down woodwind and string section at the end of “Memory Remains” was a turning point in the show, when Metallica’s players allowed their fingers to rest for a moment and let the orchestral arrangement breathe. From that point, the concert became more of an interplay between the two ensembles rather than a Metallica set with an extra boost of strings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After intermission, Michael Tilson Thomas arrived and addressed the audience directly, unlike Outwater, who had been silent throughout the first half (though jumping up and down and rocking out as he conducted). Judging by the attire of the mostly male, Gen X and Baby Boomer audience, the majority of the crowd was there for Metallica and not the orchestra, so MTT assumed the role of an accessible and entertaining educator, like a Bill Nye for classical music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13866000\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13866000\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Tilson Thomas conducts the San Francisco Symphony and Metallica at the Chase Center's inaugural concert on Sept. 9.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Tilson Thomas conducts the San Francisco Symphony and Metallica at the Chase Center’s inaugural concert on Sept. 9. \u003ccite>(Dan Nykolayko)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He also revealed tidbits about his cute and unlikely friendship with Ulrich. “Lars and I sometimes talk music late at night,” said MTT, describing the similarities between different classical music movements and heavy metal. Metallica then joined the symphony for Sergei Prokofiev’s 1915 \u003cem>Scythian Suite\u003c/em>. MTT described the anxious piece as “a mighty dance of ecstatic vengeance”—also an apt characterization of Hetfield and Hammett’s ferocious guitar playing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Closing the show with their hits “Master of Puppets” and “Enter Sandman,” Metallica and the SF Symphony unleashed 18,000 fans into the wild. Fortunately, the traffic leaving the new Mission Bay venue wasn’t quite as apocalyptic as feared. People dispersed into MUNI trams, pedicabs, bikes, scooters and ride shares, slightly deafened and giddy, diffusing the evening’s energy into the night.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That was the scene at Friday’s inaugural concert at \u003ca href=\"https://www.chasecenter.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chase Center\u003c/a>, the state-of-the-art new Warriors stadium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A meeting of the minds as powerful as Metallica and San Francisco Symphony was only right to christen such an impressive building, which felt epic simply by virtue of its enormous size and spotless, glass-paneled facade. With LED screens everywhere, Chase Center takes every opportunity to remind you it’s of the 21st century. Unlike the comparatively dusty yet charming Oracle Arena, built in 1966, everything about it exudes wealth—a monument to new-money San Francisco complete with $11 pizza slices and $15 tall cans of Budweiser (which were peanuts for show-goers who paid up to $9,000 a ticket for Friday’s concert).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a new arena, a world-class f-cking arena in our own backyard,” announced Metallica’s Lars Ulrich. “F-ck yeah!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13865922\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13865922\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Metallica fans line up outside of Chase Center for the new arena's debut concert featuring the rock legends and San Francisco Symphony.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_7050.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Metallica fans line up outside of Chase Center for the new arena’s debut concert featuring the rock legends and San Francisco Symphony. \u003ccite>(Nastia Voynovskaya)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ulrich’s drum kit was perched in the center of a circular, revolving stage, which made for a dynamic presentation.

The orchestra players were often inaudible over Ulrich’s thunderous drum kit, by far the loudest thing in the arena, and it was difficult to pick up on the nuance of the instrumentation the late Michael Kamen arranged for the two musical powerhouses when they first collaborated on the live album \u003cem>S&M\u003c/em> in 1999.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

From that point, the concert became more of an interplay between the two ensembles rather than a Metallica set with an extra boost of strings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After intermission, Michael Tilson Thomas arrived and addressed the audience directly, unlike Outwater, who had been silent throughout the first half (though jumping up and down and rocking out as he conducted). Judging by the attire of the mostly male, Gen X and Baby Boomer audience, the majority of the crowd was there for Metallica and not the orchestra, so MTT assumed the role of an accessible and entertaining educator, like a Bill Nye for classical music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13866000\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13866000\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Tilson Thomas conducts the San Francisco Symphony and Metallica at the Chase Center's inaugural concert on Sept. 9.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-768x432.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/09/IMG_4254.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Tilson Thomas conducts the San Francisco Symphony and Metallica at the Chase Center’s inaugural concert on Sept. 9. \u003ccite>(Dan Nykolayko)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He also revealed tidbits about his cute and unlikely friendship with Ulrich. “Lars and I sometimes talk music late at night,” said MTT, describing the similarities between different classical music movements and heavy metal. Metallica then joined the symphony for Sergei Prokofiev’s 1915 \u003cem>Scythian Suite\u003c/em>.

Fortunately, the traffic leaving the new Mission Bay venue wasn’t quite as apocalyptic as feared. People dispersed into MUNI trams, pedicabs, bikes, scooters and ride shares, slightly deafened and giddy, diffusing the evening’s energy into the night.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
