Ozzy down
- Thread starter Colonel Angus.sixpack
- Start date
He apparently ended his last concert with 'Mama, I'm Coming Home'...
Legendary Musician that refused to conform to accepted norms. He lived most of his life on his terms. RIP Ozzy
Yep, he knew it was coming.
For all the drugs, snorting ants, 'Prince of Darkness' and satan stuff he was showing as he came up, he seemed to turn out to be a good family man for most of his life. He said "God Bless you All" to the fans in his concerts. Everyone who talked to him said he was the nicest guy in person. For the last couple of decades at least, he seemed like a good guy at heart who put on a great show for the people when he had to. He was a wild one in the 70's and 80's. A true and original legend of rock.
RIP John
Final concert was July 5, passed away on July 22... just 17 days later.
Saw him in '87 in Memphis at the old midsouth coliseum on the "Shot in the dark" tour. Best metal voice and singer of all time......LEGEND......

Hard to understate how huge he was to a bunch of Jr. High boys. Shoot. Even a middle aged one. RIP.
Give Randy Rhoads a hug. Maybe the best vocalist/guitarist pairing ever in rock n roll.
He pissed on the Alamo. Imagine what balls it took to piss on the Alamo with all the Texas is Great crazies.
Can’t pick a favorite but this one’s up there.
Also, worth noting that his farewell concert raised over $190m for charity.
I haven't found a bad version of that song. Love all the covers.
For black sabbath, I like war pigs. For solo, no more tears.
Agreed. The Pantera cover in particular is phenomenal.
I saw some clips of that a couple of weeks ago. People in tears as he’s singing it.
Mama was second to last. Closed with Crazy Train. Still awesome though.
They played that song on the radio while I was driving to Huntsville. And I thought the same thing.
He and Keith Richards are proof that chemicals preserve.
As rough as he looked at that farewell concert I imagine it was natural causes.
you know, I guess I just never realized how intertwined my life and memories are/were to music, and growing up when I did, and the absolute hey day of heavy metal. The concerts......highschool football and crazy train, and 2 a days camp and listening to mama I'm coming home...... I am amazed that my parents let me have some of the albums I had, but at the same time, we had the best music in the 70's and 80's and we 17'n rocked, and I guess my folks just knew that heavy metal was our ELVIS.
OZZY is an absolute LEGEND, and took to the next level to get on that stage in full blown Parkinson's and find the strength and bravery to get it done. Mad respect for that strength, and mad respect for being a family fella, and loving his people and fans the way he did.
RIP OZZY
