Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd – Honoured at UK Music Hall of Fame – Ozzy Moons Crowd
Rock heroes PINK FLOYD, THE WHO and NEW ORDER have been saluted by the music industry at a ceremony to induct them into the UK Music Hall of Fame. Posthumous places went to John Peel and JIMI HENDRIX while Prime Minister Tony Blair led praise for the Eurythmics.
But OZZY OSBOURNE, whose band BLACK SABBATH were also honoured, stole the show with a bottom-baring performance. “That was a lot of fun,” he said after mooning at the crowd which gave him a standing ovation at the London event. “Considering the amount of talent that comes out of this country, it should have been done 20 years ago,” Osbourne said.
BLACK SABBATH were presented with their award by QUEEN guitarist Brian May, then Osbourne went on to moon at the Alexandra Palace crowd.
PINK FLOYD were honoured after reforming at Live 8 in July. “It’s nice to be loved and for one’s contribution to be recognised in some way,” singer and guitarist Dave Gilmour said. “I suppose I agree that we have had an influence on modern popular music.”
Gilmour accepted the award with drummer Nick Mason. Roger Waters was live on screen from Rome, where his opera Ca Ira is being staged.
The tensions between Gilmour and Waters rose to the surface when Gilmour thanked “all the passengers on this fabulous ride we’ve been on”.
Waters responded: “I confess I’ve never felt like a passenger.”
Gilmour played down suggestions of a further reunion, saying: “The Live 8 moment was a wonderful moment.
“But we’ve all moved on and there are lots of other things to be thrilled about these days.”

I would sell my soul to satan, to see a 3 hour set by a reunited pink floyd….. :crying:
Why can't Pink Floyd just get along…
..at least for our sake….this reuninion tour alone would make them more powerful than god
Why dont they just fight or make out or something, get over it, and do a tour! even if it's too hard to get tickets I'd be at the fricken venue anyway. t would be something not to miss, no excuses! I'm surprised that he would bring that to the surface for this event. Maybe it was just to let everone know what's up and/or what isn't up.
God Black Sabbath is great. Pink Floyd is for faggot stoners and Sabbath is for nonfaggot stoners which are you?
I love Black Sabbath, but speaking ill of pink floyd is blasphemy. IF you are required to be a faggot stoner to like on of the best bands ever, then sign me up. You take stupidity to a whole new level my friend.
Pink Floyd is almost as overrated as Led Zeppelin
Tjand72, very true statement
Revenant27, They did nothinbut make average stoner music nothing more nothing less
Those last two comments are idiocy. No one can ever be as innovatice/creative/progressive as pink floyd, no one. They are godly, as are led zeppelin, and black sabbath. This whole led zeppelin is overrated thing is just a bunch of idiots on the internet who know nothing. Their music is more diverse and expansive than 99.9% of all metal bands.
