Just who is this "Ed The Road Dog?!?!" He is our ultimate stage manager, photographer & roadie from hell, bullied by an endless barrage of tasks! ...setting up the gear, making sure we hit the stage on time, remembering our intro CD, listening to our never ending BS...blah, blah, blah... ...yet he's always crouched in the wings. Fearless, he watches from afar and is ready to spring into action should his help be needed during our sets. And when the call is heard, like a bird of prey, he takes flight!       |
|
Man's, er, I mean, Micky's Best Friend! To imagine our Ozzy without the Dog - ahhhhhhh, like Ozzy without Sharon! Who else would fill the water buckets to dump on our maniacal fans or catch Micky when he's surfing a psychotic crowd of Ozzmaniacs? Or more importantly, be sure that hot toddy gets to center stage?!?!     |

 |
There's also the all-important task of helping us quench our thirst. Hell, if it weren't for Ed, how could Bryn down a cold one after a killer drum solo?!?!      |
|
But not only mere drink, but nutritious meals are needed to survive. Just look at how his motherly instinct keeps us well fed (but note, the Dog is fed in return...)

Lest we not forget, the Dog is also our creative marketing guru, who designs our shirts that fans gobble up, as well as peddles them to the masses at our shows, who descend upon the merch booth like a mighty swarm of crazed locust...uhhh, don't worry Ed, they'll be there to buy something!    |

And as sure as the moon with rise, at the end of the night, Ed is always there to affectionately bark at the crowd: "Is it time to go home yet? I didn't think so! You crazy mother f$%#ers wanna hear one more?!?! Well, c'mon then, let's hear it, Oz-zy Oz-zy, Oz-zy, Oz-zy..."
