I sounds great on the ultimate sin
Yeah, but even my voice could be made to sound good in the proper studioseide wrote:I sounds great on the ultimate sin
I gotta agree. Well, maybe not "best" but favorite is more like it. I have the bootleg from the Cal Jam. Man oh man was Ozzy on FIRE that day. He sounded friggin' awesome. I don't like how he did his vocals on either of the Randy albums. I liked how he sounded live in 80 and 81 and then 88 and 89. I didn't care at all for his pop vocals in the studio or live in the mid 80s. I think his voice changed drastically in the 90s. It went deeper, but still good. I think Ozzy as of right now is pretty sketchy. He has good nights, mediocre nights, and crappy nights. I've seen him 8 times and he's only sounded absolutely horrific on two occasions.skezza wrote:still gotta say the sabbath years were the best in my books though
I have seen Ozzy about 30 times in total but I think you will agree, going to see Ozzy is nothing to do with Ozzy's voice, at the show you get a great vibe going around. I have never liked amazing singers they always seem caught up in themselves, but Ozzy is raw and working class and we can relate to it. He is like one of us, the only difference was he got lucky!Skully wrote: I've seen him 8 times and he's only sounded absolutely horrific on two occasions.
First time I heard Ozzy was the Mr Crowley EP then I got 'Diary of a madman' and I was hooked!, since then I have kept my oppinion, Ozzy is worth listening too because his bands are always so great. The band always brings the best out in his limitations and when he is live something else is thrown into the mix as wellSkully wrote:Uh, I don't know if I CAN agree. I for one have always thought Ozzy had at least a good voice. I think for at least a few years (namely 71-76) Ozzy had an AMAZING voice. Not so much anymore, but I heard Ozzy before I ever saw him and that was the primary reason I got into him.
I heard 'Diary of a madman' first then about 3 months later 'Blizzard of Ozz', it took a while for 'Blizzard' to grow on me! I still enjoy 'Diary more though.Skully wrote:Yeah, for me it was the other way around. I loved Sabbath way before I liked Ozzy's solo stuff at all. I remember hearing Crazy Train for the first time and not liking it.
I love 'The writ' I enjoy it more knowing the story behind it, I also have a liking for 'Technical Ecstasy' I think that has some beautiful vocals on it.whoopiecat wrote:I've gotta go with Sabotage from Sabbath, (Megalomania and The Writ are standouts from what I feel is an underrated album.)
Diary is always gonna be my favorite of the two from Blizzard of Oz. I always wonder what this album would have sounded like, had they had the time.
I still chuckle at the fact that this album was rushed. An onslaught of true beauty.

You stole what I was gonna say. That concert I believe was July 4th 1974 and is without question the best Ozzy ever sounded live.NicDots wrote: I have the bootleg from the Cal Jam. Man oh man was Ozzy on FIRE that day. He sounded friggin' awesome.
