Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Twenty-five years have passed since Scottish post-rock band Mogwai first introduced their famous “Blur: Are Shite” t-shirts at Glasgow’s T In The Park Festival in 1999, directly targeting the well-known Brit-poppers. Since those golden days, cases of artists dissing other artists via their goods have been thin on the ground, as reported by loudersound. So we’re here to report that the Osbourne Family appear to have revived the notion and are selling an official Ozzy t-shirt that mocks former Pink Floyd leader Roger Waters. The two-sided tee has two images. The first depicts an album that has an uncanny resemblance to Waters‘ 1990 collection “The Wall – Live in Berlin,” shrouded by “OZZY RULES” in large letters.
The second image portrays Osbourne urinating on a copy of the album, with the stream of pee modified to reflect the colours of the visible spectrum, apparently in tribute to the cover art of Pink Floyd‘s legendary album “The Dark Side Of The Moon”. This feast for the eyes is complemented with typography in the style of Gerald Scarfe – who drew Pink Floyd‘s “The Wall” in 1979 – that bears the statement “Another Prick In The Wall.” The t-shirt – which is available on the Ozzy Osbourne webstore for just 48 hours – arrives three months after Waters lambasted the media for their coverage of Ozzy Osbourne‘s death.
Talking on the paucity of mainstream news coverage granted to former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s political activity, Waters argued that the media would prefer to distract people by covering the likes of Taylor Swift or “Kim Kardashian’s bum“.
Or Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him. In whatever state he was in his whole life. We’ll never know, although he was all over the TV for hundreds of years with his idiocy and nonsense. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a fuck. I don’t care about Black Sabbath. I never did. I have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.
