Slipknot & Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor stated about the prospect of sharing the stage with Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne:

“We’re so stoked. ‘Cause we’ve been kind of sitting on that for a little bit. I knew that we were in the running for it, and when we got the word that we got the gig, we flipped out. Without Ozzy, there’d be no me — period,” he said. “Not only have I been a fan, but I’ve known that family for going on almost 20 years now, and the support that they’ve shown me over the years is incredible. So to be able to have that happen again with STONE SOUR, man, I’m beyond blown away.”

Taylor also expressed his doubt that Ozzy will completely call it quits, saying: “Well, let’s remember the [tour] is called; it’s ‘No More Tours 2’. I remember 20 years ago when this happened the first time. And let’s not forget that KISS has been on their own farewell tour for, like, 20 years now… It seems like everybody’s just, like, ‘Okay, we’re gonna split. Nah, we’re just kidding.’ It’s like that really long, uncomfortable goodbye at a family reunion. You say you’re leaving an hour before you actually get to the car. It’s just ridiculous.”
