this is a tribute to the ozzman himself. i know he's not dead yet but he ****in rocks
... that's random. Want to comment?
I have Blizzard of Ozz and a couple of other random songs (Dreamer and Mama, I'm Coming Home), and I quite like them. It's pretty classic heavy metal. It's just a bit repetitive at times though; I find both Black Sabbath and Dio more interesting.
If you want a laugh, check out the Pat Boone cover of Crazy Train. :)
But....Ozzy has nothing to do with his own music except mumble cheesy lyrics?
Yeah, Ozzy isnt much of a metal idol for me anymore. He even canceld his Ozzfest Apperance here in Indy. I was mad, but i rocked out to Black Lable lol.
The riffs that Randy Rhodes and Zakk Wylde lay out are pretty cool, and i guess when ozzy sh*ts his pants on stage it is kinda hardcore, but still I dont realy like him anymore. I like Sabbath becuase of Tony Iommi(SP?), and g*d yes i love DIO.
You people have no respect for metal or music in general if you don't respect Ozzy.
All of those pills went to his head.
Thus began his solo career. :)
No.. come on holy diver, holy diver guys.
rainbow in the dark > holy diver
The only reason his solo career was any good was because of his guitarists and drummer. He doesn't/didn't have the talent that some other great solo men did, such as Jimmy Page, Phil Collins, or Eric Clapton. Simply put: Ozzy is not a good musician.
*edit* I must say, though, I feel bad comparing Phil Collins to Ozzy, because I can only think of one Phil Collins song (back when he was with Genesis) that I actually like.:(
*edit2* HOLY CRAP! I forgot Lennon in that list. I'm sorry.
OMG BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE GENESIS/COLLINS
BJ, they're good, they're very good, and I know that. I just know very little songs because I don't listen to them.
weeheeellllll then *kracks knuckles*
I'd reccommend, by Genesis "I can't Dance, Jesus he knows me, No Son of Mine, That's All, Hold on to My Heart, Invisible Touch, and Land of Confusion" for STARTERS for Genesis.
Phil himself has a less awesome track record, but it's decent. I know In the Air Tonight, Take me Home, Easy Lover, and Another Day in Paradise come to mind. I dunno, I really like Genesis. Another Prog Rock band I'd recommend is Yes. Yes did some really amazing stuff (aside from the 80s hit, Closer to the Heart, which isn't their best song, by far). I'd recommend some Close to the Edge, and Yours is no disgrace. They do several tempo changes and kinda go off on tangents with the guitars, but it all has a really good, I dunno, grassroots, feel to it. The problem though, is that huge prog bands like the above mentioned as well as Rush and King Crimson overshadowed some other good bands, too. I think styx is horribly underrated, as well as bands like supertramp and colosseum. Give em all a shot, some boner-inspiring stuff in there
Or ignore all the 80s Genesis and get Watcher Of The Skies, Fountain of Salmacis, The Return Of The Giant Hogweed, and all other Gabriel era songs. Supertramp is too poppy but Colosseum are good.
I like Peter Gabriel well enough, but ignoring 80s Genesis doesn't seem logical, captain
Phil Collins sold his soul to the Disney Corparation. I admit he has some pretty good stuff though, and there's a band that did a cover of In the Air Tonight, that I realy liked.
The only thing Ozzy has every done that I've appreciated was that song he did with the Infectious Grooves.
The general reaction when I mention him to people now is "he's a musician?"
*** I hate mtv.
Well, at least Ozzy's actually in his own songwriting credits.
As opposed to virtually every other person with a mainstream-appealing solo career in the entire music industry.
MTV is teh bad. :(
Mainstream artists like britney spears, or jessica simpson?
