I agree man ozzy's wife is a money grabber or whatever,that woman will do anything for money.I still kinda respect ozzy for what he and sabbath did musically but he has turned in to a bit of an arse also.

.......some more thoughts.
I'm still really excited about these 'reformed' shows.
It'll be interesting whatever the shows are like. The original Dino Jr line up was legendary. The 3 x J, Lou, Murph era albums are benchmark records. Their shows 15+ years ago were amazing. However I think it's wrong to, not so much dismiss, but gloss over the work that J as Dinosaur Jr and the Fog has done since. I'm not saying there is some conspiracy and I understand the emphasis on this period for the forthcoming dates.
But here's a random top 10 of tracks that J could/should play live - electric!! With ANYONE!
Thumb
Start Choppin'
Out There
What Else Is New
Feel The Pain
Get Me
Where'd You Go (his best song in 15 years? - I think so!!)
I'm Insane
Everybody Lets Me Down
Say The Word
What frustrated me with the later Fog live shows (with George Berz and Mike Watt) were all the Stooges songs they played. Great songs but I want to hear Dino J or Fog stuff when I'm seeing J play.
So in my confused state and to recap......... I'm looking forward to them playing all the first 3 albums, but I would love J to do a full electric tour with him playing tracks from his entire career!
thankyou and goodnight!!!

No, they won't play a set of J songs spanning the ages - I know that. I know what set the reformation tour will be and it is 100% tracks from the 1st 3 albums - as it should be. My point is at some point, after this tour, as The Fog (or just as j Mascis - whatever), J should delve into all his back catalogue a bit more. That is what as a fan I would like to see:)
I mean my point is whether it's Dino Jr in whatever form (Mike and George, Murph, the Rummager, Van Connor, Donna Dresch - wow how many bassists!!!) or J Mascis and the Fog it's all essentially the GENIUS of J. I don't use that term lightly. In my opinion he is the greatest mos influential guitarist of the last 20 years........so him PLAYING his tunes is just like heaven (sorry for the pun) to me.
I think he has a new version of The Fog ready to go and as far as I know a new album of material ready as well - so probably later in the year or next year we'll see a new CD and a tour I hope!
