Ozzy rocks

[hanselthecaretaker]

I'm listening to Ozzy and reminiscing about the gym I used to lift in back home....24 hour access, could play whatever you wanted loud as hell. I used to lift with my shirt off with Ozzy blaring through the speakers...heavy shrugs, weighted dips, seated cable rows, big mirror for flexing I got into the best adn biggest shape of my young adult life using that gym's resources........come to think of it, it's actually even the same time of year now too, but many moons and much barking ago.....gotta find a place like that again, preferrably soon.

And the recent incident with Sharon, Kelly, and Iron Maiden was the nail in that coffin. Screw Ozzy and his whole entourage.

He's only got two good albums anyway, "Paranoid" and "Diary of a Madman".

You don't think Vol. 4 or the first album were any good?

Fuck it man, Ozzy was tweakin and fried, if anything that shit probably helped him recover somehow. I do hate MTV though. But for me that's not enough to dismantle my yearning to hear his stuff.

when sabbath was first poppin', what was the public reaction?? where they considered hardcore metal??

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

Oh I forgot to mention, that gym was a dungeon. Made the Gold's from Pumping Iron look sorta like the Ritz. All the better for killer workouts.

I agree, and to be honest, have you seen that dude in concert lately, I am sorry, no disrespect, but the dude cant sing anymore, period.

ummm...yes...lol

In the early, years they were the lead act for many many bands who played in the US for the first time, lets see..

Skynyrd
Mahogony Rush
ZZ Top
Kiss
Nugent
Boston
Frampton
Leslie West
Manfred Mann
Rod Stewart and Faces
Alice Cooper
James Gang
Savoy Brown
J Geils
Grand Funk

I'm choosing to remember the better....Bark at the Moon, Diary of a Madman, No More Tears, etc from long ago.

There's not a whole lot out these days that's any good anyways. It's mostly pop inspired bullshit. No raw music behind it anymore.

Well, "hardcore metal" didn't exist as such in the late 1960s, we just called it "Hard Rock". I think maybe it was easier for us to hear the obvious Blues origins of bands like Black Sab, Led Zep, and Free, but I'm not sure that they really seemed any heavier than Vanilla Fudge or Iron Butterfly.

ah...you missed the real metal...Panzers traveling at 100 mph..

Uriah Heep

I have been to every Ozzfest and seen him solo like three times.
But man, the last like 3 ozzfests, his voice has been VERY weak.
I am sorry, divorce that greedy bitch, retire, keep putting on Ozzfest with a different headliner than sabbath or yourself. You know, give some of the kings of metal today a chance. hell, some of the top acts today like Slipknot, Mudvayne, etc. could handle it.

Boston or J. Geils opening for Black Sabbath didn't seem so unusual back then, because in the '60s and early '70s, music wasn't divided into so many genres and sub-genres as it is today, and audiences actually enjoyed a bit of variety. It was all "Rock".

Yeah, now everything's so genre specific that fans of one will get pissed at hearing anything else. The way things are though it's tought to blame them.

Some of my best early shows (I grew-up near the Boston Garden)

Tull backed up by Donovan (alone with just his guitar)
ZZ Top with Blue Oyster Cult
John McGlaughlin, Al DeMeola, Paco DiLucia
Allman Brothers with BB King and Bonnie Raitt
Zep (song remains the same)

What happened with Iron Maiden? I don't pay attention to things in the news and MTV and that shit.


And to say that Ozzy only has 2 good albums is an untrue statement. Black Sabbath and Ozzy had a huge influence on a lot of music that I listened to growing up.

Sabotage is probably my favorite Sabbath album, at least all the tracks except some dudes sounding gay and Am I Going Insane. That album is pure evil. It makes me want to burn down churches and rape nuns.

I saw Ozzy in 96, and I'm glad I saw him before he got any older. The crowd was pretty tame, but it was all seats, no open floor. I was up on the first level but still had a great view.
