Ozzmosis

Post by siro_angel »

My friends who are Ozzy fans (not all of em just a few) claim this is Ozzy's worse album ever! All because its his EMO record!

What the fuck???

I love that album, its very well put and I love Old LA Tonight, See You On The Other Side (my funeral song) My Little Man and Perry Mason!

I don't think it's his worst album,that title to me goes to "Down to earth", I think Ozzy's records with Zakk have all got worse than the previous...."No more tears" to me wasn't as good as "No rest for the wicked", "Ozzmosis" isn't as good as "No more tears" and "Down to earth" isn't as good as "Ozzmosis" :? .

i personally cannot stand No Rest For The Wicked. It was ozzys first album since jake left and i just felt, there was nothing there. No More Tears had a bit more substance and some better tunes. Ozzmosis i didnt actually mind, there were a few nice tunes on there. Down to Earth was laughable. Zakk has never been close to my favourite one even one of them, but i am hoping he will impress me on the new album :)

To be honest, this may sound narrow, but I stopped listening to ozzy when jake left. I then was given No More Tears and i thought there were a few nice tunes. I then heard ozzmosis and said "how the hell were they allowed to release that?" still to this day i think that.

Personally I don't mind Ozzmosis, a lot of ballads but Perry Mason is my favourite Ozzy track since 1981. Saw Ozzy on that tour in Sheffield and he never played anything from it. Saw him at Donington the following summer and he played Perry Mason and I Just want you.

There is not a single Ozzy album I like after Blizzard and Diary. Even Tribute gets old rather fast. There are some songs from each era that I like, but not an entire album.

Personally I think Ozzy should've retired ages ago.

But Ozzy still brings a great deal of pleasure to thousands of fans around the world, me included. I know his voice isn't as good as it once was and his stage prescence is sometimes a bit dodgy but he is a one off, an original, a living legend, a true survivor and there will never be any one like him again.(Thank God some of you might say) I still love going to see him in concert, he always plays his classic material and always gives it his best shot. I'm really looking forward to the release of his new album and tour. The world of rock music will be sadly the poorer once Ozzy pops his clogs.

I understand that a lot of folks still like Ozzy. To me, though, it's a case of letting the younger generation find their own heroes and musical identity rather than living on what is now their parent's music.

Today's teens should have their own favorite music that is theirs alone. They should also be creating their own new music instead of still rehashing stuff that is 30+ years old. When I was a teen, I listened to some '60's stuff like the Doors, Stones and Beatles, but focused on contemporary music like Maiden, Priest and the local music scene stuff like Soundgarden.

I truely think the old guard should bow out and give the stage over to the younger generation. Let us old folks be relegated to our CDs and let the kids do their thing now.

Yeah I understand what your saying, sort of, but there's no reason why the older bands can't keep playing to there loyal following as well as bringing in a few new younger ones along the way. Also there's no reason why these newer younger bands can't be apreciated by us older generation. I'm a regular at The Download Festival at Donington Park and each year there's a cross section of old and new bands, along with a very varied age group, and its a fantastic atmosphere. I'm very much a classic metal lover myself but I do have time for some of these newer bands. Last Sunday I went to see Stone Sour in Birmingham, what a fantasic gig that was, really enjoyed it, the concert was mainly full of younger fans but there was still a fair few of us oldies having a good time. All I'm trying to say is there is still plenty of room for old and new bands to keep making great music so long as people enjoy it.

i agree completely although hes no where near as good as he once was ozzy still brings a ton of energy and gives it his all which is pretty much what you want in a rock frontman
