\u201cIt was a closure for the band and it was a good way to go out, I think,\u201d says Tony Iommi of the show, while Geezer Butler adds: \u201cTo me it was like pure love. It was just a wave of love. It\u2019s the only way I can describe it really. I mean I could feel it as if it is like tangible.\u201d<\/p>\n

As well as sets from Ozzy and Sabbath, the Back To The Beginning bill<\/a> also featured a Who\u2018s Who of rock and metal, including Metallica, Guns N\u2019 Roses, Tool, Slayer, Halestorm and more. Speaking to Metal Hammer recently, Sharon Osbourne<\/a> said that footage of the other bands\u2019 sets also appears in the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack To The Beginning came about because I asked Ozzy what would really make him happy,\u201d says Sharon. \u201cAnd he said the only thing that would make him happy was if he could perform again and say goodbye to his fans. That\u2019s all he wanted to do. He wanted to say goodbye and thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s never been anything like that that\u2019s happened in the history of rock and roll,\u201d adds Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello, who was musical director of the Back To The Beginning show and helped pull the bill together. \u201cThere\u2019s never been a precedent for a show like this\u2026 [Black Sabbath] gets to play their final show basically in the Ground Zero of where they created heavy metal<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
