Ozzie who?

[braalian]

How did I miss this?

apparently because you’ve been living as a hermit in a cave?

Elderly people die because humans have an expiration date. Ozzie Osborne was an elderly person, and he died. That is about the only thing I can make sense of about Ozzie Osborne. I have no idea who Ozzie Osborne was and what he did to gain notoriety. Apparently he was some sort of entertainer. Someone said he bit the heads off from animals. He must have been famous because the news cycle is reporting his departure. I guess I wasn’t paying attention. This is a weird world we live in, and people will focus on weird things while they live in this weird world. Wow! That guy just bit the head off a bat or something! That is wild! He dresses in black and imitates Devil worshipers in front of banks of Marshal amplifiers blasting out loud music!

How did I miss this?

How old are you?

On January 20, 1982, during Ozzy Osbourne’s Diary of a Madman tour in Des Moines, Iowa, a fan named Mark Neal (17 at the time) smuggled a dead bat—preserved in a freezer—into the arena and tossed it onstage . Thinking it was a rubber prop bat, Ozzy picked it up and bit off its head, only to realize, mid-chomp, that it was real. He later said he felt it “twitch” in his mouth .

Ozzy then had to be rushed to the hospital for rabies shots, receiving multiple painful injections nightly for weeks . He later confirmed the event across many interviews and in his autobiography .

This show was a great message about WHY it is very unwise to use recreational drugs and alcohol. Neither Ozzy or Sharon could parent their children effectively or handle even minor "life" challenges in a mature fashion. But they of course had some Major challenges only a drug fueled life with great notoriety could bring.

The Osbournes" follows the day-to-day lives of Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne, manager-wife Sharon and two of their children - volatile Jack and pink-tressed Kelly. During the show's run, the family "adopted" Rob, a friend of Jack and Kelly's. Needless to say, the Osbournes aren't your average family

Then again, many people who don't do drugs can't parent their kids properly.

A work colleague of mine who did drugs is about to have a baby. He struggles to remember basic stuff, he sleeps in meetings, he's bad at his job (officially not the worst now, we have this girl who's angry and useless and stupid.)

I wonder how he felt it twitch if it was dead and frozen?

First time I heard “Black Sabbath” the first song on the first album I got freaked out when he started singing



Epic!!

I wonder how much less he’d have been known to the general public if it hadn’t been for that show

No disrespect to Ozzy but I must credit Dio when he sang this song for the Live Evil album.

I have to look that up.

I saw Dio on Rainbows first US tour at the Beacon Theater. What a show!

Listened to “Kill the King” just yesterday

It makes a better story.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Wow, sad life you have never knowing who Black Sabbath was.

More of a blessing. I listened to BS about 55 years ago. Grew out of it.
I don’t be understand the acclaim that ensued. Just another shock rock act.

Do you live under a rock? Ozzy is the godfather of metal. He is one of the most famous musicians of all time. Lead singer of Black Sabbath and an even bigger solo career after that band. He even had a smash hit reality show long after he became ultra famous, which kept him in the public eye for decades.

 

[Godboy]

One is one too many when discussing bat head biting.

Technically speaking, it was a mistake. People were throwing all kinds of shit on the stage (including 1 dead bat) and he thought it was a fake bat, so he figured it would be funny to pick it up and bite its head off. He was likely high as shit at the time, so i can see this mistake happening.

Unless you are a youngin (even then) by living under a rock?

Black Sabbaths guitar riffs were the formation for all metall riffs that came after that band. They literally created the genre of metal. Its super catchy music too.

That’s your opinion and I’ll respect it.
But if it’s truly good music, it will find you and not the other way around. I can think of only two BS songs I know. Same for KISS. Only one song I can recognize.
OTOH, though I’m not a Billy Joel fan, per se, I can recognize many of his songs. Same for the Beatles.

I don’t know many famous people but I knew of Ozzy, 90% of the people in bands, tv or sports I don’t know of. There was some ruckus last year about Beyoncé, she is a famous singer that is really popular. I know none of her music, the only thing I know is Harris paid her $10 million to endorse her and it was a big deal.

 

[d0gbreath]

I only saw Ozzy live once. It was in 2010, so I guess he was 61 y/o at the time. I decided back then that he was the greatest front man that ever lived.

It's a highly pumped up version of the song. I was like holy shit when I first listen to it while stoned.
