Here is an open discussion thread for one of the true legends of metal....Ozzy Osbourne. If you don't know who he is, something is wrong. Especially since he is currently enjoying great fame due to the success of his MTV shows "The Osbournes" and "Battle for Ozzfest". Some may say he has sold out, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy his contributions to metal.

Over the years, Ozzy has had some great guitar players under his belt. Players such as Randy Rhoads, who died tragically in a plane crash on March 19, 1982. He also had Jake E. Lee and his current player, Zakk Wylde...also of Black Label Society fame.

Feel free to share your thoughts on Ozzy, good or bad, just be sure to stay on topic and no spamming.

Haven't heard the new stuff, but in my opinion his best years were with Black Sabbath. Saw their concert at the Roskilde festival in '05 and it was absoulutely astonishing to see the old man in action! Still, I do have a couple of his solo albums, and there are some legendary stuff on them, no doubt.

When you grow up with albums like No Rest For The Wicked,No More Tears etc. you'll find the new album along with the previous-a bunch of crap.
Last worth album for me was Ozzmozis,everything from then till now is just a pale shadow of what Ozzy was. He's totaly under Sharon's control now and you can see what he become. The madman is not so mad these days
Vocals on almoust whole album are made trough processor,songs are sleazy and the only bright spot for me is Zakk. He's gone mad completly He's out of his mind when he grabs guitar in his hands.
Anyway,the album is worth of having for the respect of what great man Ozzy once was.

I've been an Ozzy fan for a long time, although he ain't such a great singer, but the way he makes his music & the band he has always had around him sure do compensate for that (he is quite unique i'll give you that). Now about the new album I ordered it some days ago so I took the chance & listened to it in mp3 format. My first opinion is that it fuckin' rules! Some of you might agree, some might not, but I see this as one of the best albums this year (along side with WASP, Machine Head, Candlemass, Eldritch still waiting for some albums like Agent Steel for example). Ok the album has 2 ballads, the tempo is a little slow & i must agree the voice goes along with the instru"mental" part, but it does a good job, catchy riffs, great solos and in my oppinion on the stoner side, but hell it's a great, inspired album.

Although I said I am fan of Ozzy, I ain't that keen on his works, but this one blew me all the way.

I also own the album and while it is not a ground breaking piece of material, I think it is a solid piece of work. Even though it is a little bit Zakk heavy I still think it displays everyone's talent very well, and even though it might be altered, Ozzy's voice is still pretty solid. Anyway, I've only listened to it about three or four times but I enjoy what I have heard so far.

BLS...I think they were quite good. really, i don't listen to their music a lot but they could play song "In this river" at concert.
And Zakk...like my friend said...he was like a whale. he always spitted to letf, to right, to top... it wasn't very nice to watch.

The first time you hear "Black Rain", you notice a few subtleties that may disappoint you, but nothing that truly grabs your intention until two or three more listens. Black Rain is a new sound, a newborn, a new monster that owns what the previous album lack. If you are prowling around the heavy metal territory, I recommend you "Black Rain". Otherwise, if you are an extreme metalhead don't waste your time and money, because it won't please you, unless you are a die-hard fan of Ozzy or an open-minded one.

Black rains pretty good as it goes, yes Ozzys voice seems over produced(Pro tools does that) but it still rocks and is a better album due to the guitar heroics of Zakk

I dont think much of Ozzys stuff is actually written by Ozzy, I know Lemmy wrote/co-wrote alot of Ozzys material, hes said hes made more money off the royalties for 'Mama Im Comin Home' than he has with his entire career with Motorhead.
