    Randy Owens & the boys just get too easily distracted & enamored by the sheep they used to call their groupies from their bar band days & it made them constantly late for their stage calls.

    I agree with them, especially if it's the dumb people who drag thier rat looking dogs with them EVERY WHERE they go! That is so annoying! Why do they think just because it's a small ugly dog that the 'no dogs allowed' sign isn't meant for them? Don't put your dumb dog in a shopping cart, don't carry him in the grocery store, etc. don't carry him PERIOD! THEY HAVE LEGS FOR GOD'S SAKE! THEY CAN WALK AND STAY HOME ALONE TOO! DUMB ASSES

    What a bunch of prima donnas. I'm sure the animals don't want to hear their music either.

    If someone had a service animal, the venue could not make them remove it. That would be a pickle.

    I guess it's just as well, as Ozzy bit the head off of a bat and a dove. Ozzy and animals don't mix. I can't see any red-necks getting along with animals, either. When they are in the back woods, they probably hunt dogs, cats, rabbits.. They bring them home and have their good 'ole wives cook up a Meow mix stew! omg, I can really see that happening!! lol

    Alabama pretends they do not like animals so when all the dead sodomized animals are found no one will think of them. They do not believe in cruelty to animals so when they are through with all the sick and horrid rituals they perform they sodomize and kill them so they will not suffer. How humane is that! Part of the ritual includes watching the animals have sex then they join in

    One of them could be allergic to animal dander or the like. I actually don't think is that outrageous of a demand. Seems like a request from someone who has an allergy. Also, one of them may have a fear of dogs or cats (typical animals people take with them places like this).

    Back in the late 80s or early 90s, we attended an Alabama concert at San Diego Naval Base. The opening act had performed, and it was obvious the band was about to come out--music had started, I think even a few of them had come out, when everything stopped. At least half an hour later, they began again. Seems as they were coming out on stage, one of the security dogs bit one of the members (I think the bass player) on the arm. I'm betting that's the reason for no animals!

    Come on, these asshole primadonnas are only as rich as you dumbasses are that pay to see them and buy their cd's/. Don't do it - make them live like the rest of us. They only get where they are and make these outrageous demands because you all LET them. I, for one, wouldn't waste my hard-earned money - making them richer and me poorer. NO fuckin thanks.
