Ozzy at BlizzCon confirmed!

Here's to hoping that Ozzy Osbourne's special appearance means he'll actually rock out on stage. As cool as Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain are, I'm sure Samwise and his crew will actually enjoy the show (and who says they won't join up for one big supergroup?). Azeroth has its own Prince of Darkness, but having the real deal perform should be a special treat, just as it's sure to be something all fans can look forward to. It seems like another incentive to get the DirecTV package in addition to that cute, gun-toting murloc. With BlizzCon stepping up in the show department, I wonder what other big things are in store for us this year.

It says appearance, it doesn't say performance.

Wait, why does anyone care?
Tom Aug 9th 2009 3:33PM
This. Ozzy Ozborn? Really? REALLY?
SuckItTrebek Aug 9th 2009 3:33PM
Yeah really. Fronted one of the biggest, most iconic, influential musical groups ever and then did it all again solo, constantly discovering some of the most distinct and original guitar players for the world.....millions upon millions of albums sold....yeah, why would anyone care about seeing Ozzy?

I agree. The only reason I care about Blizzcon is for Starcraft (The tournament more than SC2, but SC2 is nice too). "Then why are you on a WoW Blog?". Believe me, I'd prefer not to be here either. Unfortunately, Massively.com is shoveling these WoW.com articles down our throats.

Personally, I don't think I've ever heard anything by Ozzy. I'm also not going to Blizzcon to have my ears blown out by some has-been rock star that can barely put a sentence together anymore due to the years of drug use that has destroyed his brain.

None of you have to care, no. But rest assured that some people do. This piece of news is for them. If you're not going to BlizzCon, why does it matter to you? Why bother to comment? If you're headed to BlizzCon, you don't have to watch the show. I'm sure there are plenty of other things to do for you then.
You can choose not to care, but really, you can't deny a man his legacy. Osbourne fronted one of the most influential metal bands in history and sold millions of albums as a solo artist. Say what you will, but the man has accomplished a good lot.
What have YOU done? What was that? Nothing? Move along, then.

I was going to say that!

I wonder how much money he was paid to get him to appear at BlizzCon? This doesn't seem like the kind of thing he'd normally do, he definitely isn't a WoW player. I'd say he definitely had to be paid a bit to get him to show up.

Lets clear this up once and for all. Ozzy plays WoW, in fact he is quite addicted to it, you can read all about it in MetalEdge magazine, Febuary issue he has a level 80 Forsaken warlock on Rexxar was leveling a DK.

Can't link a printed magazine..but as Bladez says no screen shot but trust me it happend

yep wolfs right Ozzy went on about how Sharon really doesn't get it but his drinking has dropped to almost nil since he's been playing so she is ok with it..he actually wanted her in the commercial after he screamed Sharon to appear and save his ass but the producer had his own ideas. His son also plays
Volaro Aug 9th 2009 5:00PM
Huh, had no idea that Ozzy played, but if its helping him to cut down on drinking, hey. More power to him.
wolfsterne Aug 9th 2009 5:03PM
He just traded one addiction for another really..he said he played well over 90 hours a week on average.
