OT: RIP Ozzy Osbourne

[Mikemarc]

Dead at 76.

RIP to a legend

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Legend is absolutely correct. And if there was every a guy who seemed like he’s been on borrowed time for the quite awhile, this is that guy.

 

[Knight Shift]

He looked and sounded great at the Back to the Beginning show.

About losing a girlfriend, but an uncharacteristically beautiful ballad about losing someone. Changes-



RIP Legend.

The Prince of Darkness has left the building.

 

[RU05]

Their first album is my fave.

 

[RutgersNJ]

One of the greats

 

[Knight Shift]

Ozzy had a giant heart. Listen to Matt Pinfield and what Ozzy did for Matt hen Matt had a stroke

 

[mdk02]

Their first album is my fave.

But to confirm "Paranoid" was their 2nd album.

War Pigs one of my favorites

I'll never forget the crazy scene when he made a personal appearance at Vintage Vinyl in Fords in 2001. The owner of VV has an amusing story here.

War Pigs one of my favorites

An example of how good Black Sabbath was in its prime and live, with Ozzy sounding great--and the drummer.

Don't know why I never noticed, but last week, War Pigs was on the radio, and I remarked to my better half about how Bill Ward was playing lead on drums for parts of that song. Just brilliant musically and lyrically timeless.

I'm not a huge fan of the Beatles or the post Beatles catalog, but MTV Classics just played this video, which I was not aware of. It's a cover of a John Lennon Song "How", and the lyrics fit the mold of a lot of Ozzy songs.

 

[RU05]

But to confirm "Paranoid" was their 2nd album.

Ya, Paranoid has their big hits, but I thought every song on that first album was great. Bad *** all the way through.

One of my first CD's.

 

[Knight Shift]

So now my YouTube feed is feeding all sorts of Ozzy content. This is a fantastic interview. There was Ozzy and John Osbourne, the guy who played Ozzy on stage. John was a mellow, kind and thoughtful guy. Alice Cooper is much the same. Alice does an evening radio show in Arizona, and he is a great listen.

 

[RU05]

I did just learn something about their first album, an album I consider one of my favorite albums of all time.

And that is Evil Woman(never heard this song before) was on the original release in Europe but was replaced by Wicked World here in the US. I obviously had the US version. Quick listen to Evil Woman and I'd say Wicked World was the (much?) better song and a better fit on the album.

 

[Knight Shift]

Ozzy's concert intros were always hilarious. He was a huge Beatles fan. This one is great.

 

[DJ Spanky]

RIP Ozzy! Battling Parkinson's for many years, sadly it was only a matter of time.

I find it almost hypocritical on how every radio station was eulogizing him this morning. Hell, they were even going on about him on WKTU, really? Of course, they'd never play a single song by him. At least other stations did that.

This was pretty funny - George Bush introducing Ozzy at the Correspondence Dinner I think.

There is a clip of Ozzy on the Jersey Shore, where he really lets the salty language fly. It is hilarious.

Legendary musical pioneer. RIP.

Little late, but just saw this:

Little late, but just saw this:

Thrash, grunge, doom metal, and stoner metal. Metallica, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains. Other than doom metal (unless Type O Negative is doom metal), all staples and great listening when lifting or mountain biking.

Rick opened with Into the Void- one of the most influential songs in the Sabbath Catalog.

Anthrax did a great version of that song at the Back to the Beginning show.



Soundgarden did a great version:



And this version by a little known band called Exhorder is solid:

Just came across this funny commercial:
