You've all heard the news about his passing so we'd like to remember him now as best we can. Last Monday, Dave and the band stopped into our office in L.A. to approve the band's rendition of the Metallica classic "Creeping Death" for the OZZFEST 2002 LIVE album. He walked in and was drawn to the wax statue of Ozzy that has toured with the past two Ozzfests. Then he started to look around and noticed all of the artifacts Ozzy and Sharon have collected throughout the years. "Man, I could spend the day just lookin' around here," he said. The other guys in the band agreed and when they were each handed a copy of the new Sabbath live collection Dave was bowled over, reading the liner notes, inspecting the art, reveling in this newfound delight. "Man, this is why we're all here", he remarked to no one in particular. As "Creeping Death" began to play the band's manager corralled the guys to give the track a listen. When someone pointed out a minor flub on the recording Dave stood up and nonchalantly said "It's a goddamn live record, let it be." That was the last I remember of Dave "Stage" Williams, one of the coolest guys to grace the stage at Ozzfest. Rest In Peace. -OZZMINISTRATOR ___________________________________________________________ TOMMY LEE ADDED TO OZZFEST BILL Beginning in Denver Tommy Lee joins Ozzfest for the remainder of the tour. ___________________________________________________________ Advertisement Watch X GAMES VIII August 17-22 on ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC Tune into X Games action August 19 - ESPN at 4PM Moto X Step Up, Wakeboard (M), Speed Climb (F) August 19 - ESPN at 10 PM Moto X Step Up, Bike Stunt Dirt, Skateboard Best Trick Street August 20 - ESPN at 4PM Bike Stunt Dirt, Aggressive In-line Park, Bike Stunt Flatland, Wakeboard (F) August 20 - ESPN2 at 9PM Bike Stunt Dirt, Speed Climb (M), Moto X Big Air, Bike Stunt Park, Skateboard Best Trick Vert August 21 - ESPN at 9PM Bike Stunt Park, Moto X Big Air, Aggressive In-Line Vert (M), Aggressive In-Line Vert (F) August 22 - ESPN at 9PM Moto X Big Air, Skateboard Park, Aggressive In-Line vert (M) For more information, visit www.expn.com _________________________________________________________ OZZY, OZZFEST, OSBOURNE FAMILY, BLACK SABBATH MERCH AVAILABLE New stuff all the time.
