It's all over the web at various other places too...weigh in with your various positions.
From what I've read, it seems overwhelmingly that the Maiden guys are telling the truth, although it looks like Bruce at some point said something to get it all started...still, it definitely does not warrant in any way the treatment they got. sharon osbourne has never impressed me, and i wouldn't be the least bit surprised if her and her camp are indeed behind all the crap that went down. and her comments on the ozzfest site ( http://ozzfest.com/news_2005.html ) were retarded...bringing the war in iraq into a spat between two metal singers is beyond inappropriate, and just goes to show she has no real argument. what an idiot. she's like a child.

6In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth
When the land was swamp and caves were home
In an age when prize possession was fire
To search for landscapes men would roam.
Then the tribes they came to steal their fire
And the wolves they howled into the night
As they fought a vicious angry battle
to save the power of warmth and light.
Drawn by quest for fire
They searched all through the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man.
And they thought that when the embers died away
That the flame of life had burnt and died
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire
Were made by rubbing stick and stone.
So they ploughed through the forest and swamps of danger
And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts
In the search to find another fire
To regain the power of light and heat.
Drawn by quest for fire
They searched across the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man.
Kill these people now.
