BLACK SABBATH: Controversial BUSH/HITLER Video Pulled?

July 21, 2004

According to Joe Siegler of the BLACK SABBATH fan site Black-Sabbath.com, the controversial video portrait comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler that was being used as part of the band's stage act during the first few dates of the Ozzfest 2004 trek appears to have been pulled. "From concert reports I've read, and an email I got from someone associated with the tour who wants to remain anonymous (I have no idea who it is, they're using a free mail account),it would appear that the Bush/Hitler image from the 'War Pigs' video has been removed," Siegler writes. "The other day [SABBATH drummer] Bill Ward came out on his website saying he wanted to distance himself from it, and there were a couple of reviews that mentioned said video. Today I noticed that there was a USA Todayarticle that says '..was removed after complaints.' While I've not heard anything official from SABBATH's camp about this, I'll go with what was said here and say it was removed due to complaints."
