Dickinson has since denied making comments against Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, but admitted that he criticised Ozzfest throughout the tour, attacking their "corporate" seating layout and saying, "Most of the bands are there because they paid to be there."
Dickinson je otad negirao da je išta zamjerio Ozzyju Osbourneu i Black Sabbathu, ali je priznao da je tijekom turneje kritizirao Ozzfest zbog njegovog "korporativnog" rasporeda te je izjavio: "Većina skupina nalaze se na njemu jer su platile da budu ondje."
