I know this is somewhat petty and far removed from the struggle in Palestine… But I always disliked this person and now it all makes sense.
Kneecaps response was succinct and to the point:
In an email to Rolling Stone, band member Mo Chara wrote, “Her rant has so many holes in it that it hardly warrants a reply but she should listen to ‘War Pigs’ that was written by Black Sabbath.”
I remember seeing Iron Maiden open for Ozzy back in like 2002. They blew Ozzy off the stage with their set so Sharon literally unplugged them. She is so petty.
At a time when the world is experiencing significant unrest, music should serve as an escape, not a stage for political discourse.
Go eat shit and die
Says the person who got rich of her husband making music for political discourse.
The “don’t make everything political” people consistently have the worst takes on anything political.
i haven’t heard their music before, but gotta respect artists who take a stand.
fuck all of those other artists who have a huge platform and reach but shut up about this and the other very urgent issues we have rn. speaking up is probably the best tool at the disposal of a big artist with millions of eyeballs on them.
So she’s a war pig? I need to get off this crazy train
Oh, snap. Well done. I’m a bit paranoid that she’ll shed no more tears for Palestinians.
What a cunt.
Yo fuck Sharon Osbourne.
Metalheads turn out to be as disappointing as peoples parents taught them.
I hardly think Sharon Osbourne represents metalheads. I’ve been to plenty of shows over the last couple of years where acts have made pro-Palestinian statements, and the only time I witnessed any pushback from the crowd was one guy at a hardcore show, who was promptly shouted down by the crowd when he called the singer of No Time a Nazi for saying he supported the Palestinians and calling Israel’s actions a genocide.
The metal scene has plenty of real issues to answer for (hello, NSBM), but Sharon Osbourne being an out of touch bitch is not one of them, in my opinion.
Edit: Also, before someone searches No Time and assumes skinheads in an Oi band must be Nazis, have the lyrics for their song “Everything You Hate” in the spoiler.

FEEBLE MIND, ARCHAIC THOUGHT FEAR AND HATE, ALL YOU’VE GOT A SHINING EXAMPLE OF THE MASTER RACE I’M PROUD TO BE EVERYTHING YOU HATE
PROUD TO BE EVERYTHING THAT YOU HATE
THE REICH IS DEAD SO TAKE A HINT GO GOOSE STEP OFF A FUCKING CLIFF
FUCKING DISGRACE
Ozzy Osbourne is a top Zionist himself and he put his name out there multiple times to defend genocide.
Ozzy Osbourne among 200 public figures calling for investigation into BBC Israel bias
The letter, released by the Creative Community For Peace (CCFP), came in response to the airing of Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone and the resulting row when it emerged that the film’s narrator had family ties to Hamas.
Calling for a “full commission of inquiry” into the actions taken by the BBC surrounding the documentary, the letter said it is time for the broadcaster “to acknowledge that it has a systematic problem of bias against Israel”.
Many other big metal names have done similar things. Mostly from Germany.
@geneva_convenience @shikitohno He needs the publicity. People are forgetting all about him and without attention he’ll shrivel up and die.
And? That some people within a certain group have supported them hardly means you can say that it’s a problem with the group as a whole. I also saw a dozen metal bands who are explicitly pro-Palestinian, and have expressed that in their shows and online.
Metalheads as a whole haven’t done something to be a disappointment, some prominent figures within the community have.
Transposh Brit tit dislikes Irishmen in balaclavas, in other news Ozzy swore again today
Who gives a crap what that harpy thinks or says. Go spend your husband’s money and shut the fuck up.
Shes the daughter of one of the biggest rock managers and her own company had a roster of significant artists so shes definitely independently wealthy.
Shes from a privileged background (despite her dad being abusive and her mum trying to kill her a few times) and thinks that entitles her to tell other people how to behave. Maybe she should have focused on her own kids a bit more seeing how problematic they were.
I wonder what Ja rule thinks.
WHERE IS JA?
Whatever it is it is probably not as stupid as this.
Why the actual fuck should anyone give a single shit about what she says? The wife of a celebrity? With the political acumen of an uneducated fuckwit?
Why would this nightmare-faced freak even feel the need to comment? And to target not just one act, but two? Is her husband about to go on tour or something? You know what these hypercelebs are like, no publicity is bad publicity. Maybe they’re relaunching The Osbournes?
Maybe we could relaunch them into space.
I have lost all respect for this person.
How did you have any for her in the first place? She showed on that reality show that shes a deranged nutter.
