Good tune, thanks for posting that. I'm surprised that didn't make the album, I think it fits in well and I think the album definitely could have been a bit longer!!

Pretty good tune.....They could have replaced it with just about any other song on the North American release...

now knowing that there were better songs that didn't make the cut i can understand why ozzy was so hyped about this album...

I got it a few days before the show, i took fozzy's advice and and gave it a few listens, I enjoy 'Civilise the universe' and the two extra tracks. I think it was worth waiting for but he should have played more and different tunes at thw Wembley show!

If Ozzy could get anyone from past albums back for future albums (aside from Randy) he should scoop Geezer up. Geezer smokes Bob and every other bassist Ozzy's worked with.

Hi Skully,
You need to listen to the 'Living Loud' Cd which Bob daisley put out a couple of years back he had some cool musicians playing on this cd Jimmy Barnes vocals Steve Morse Guitar Lee Kerslake Drums Don Airey keyboards.This was a project that Bob had been wanting to do for a long time it even has a few Ozzy covers on it Flying High Again , I Dont Know,Crazy Train,Over the Mountain,Tonight and Mr Crowley.The other tracks are really good this is well worth a listen...

I keep meaning to check out this album, I 've heard a lot of good reports but never got round to buying it. Have they ever toured over here?

I remember listening to this a long long time ago. I think someone at another forum linked me to them. I have to respectfully say that...none of those reworks really floated my boat in anyway.

No they have not toured here, they did a few gigs in Australia and the US but i cannot see them touring to plug an album thats 3 years old.But i like the tunes the Ozzy covers go buy and after a few listens you forget that they are Ozzy/Randy tunes.They have more of a Blues Rock edge to them 'In the Name of God' and 'Pushed Me too Hard' are a couple of classic tunes.You should be able to pick this up on ebay for a few Ã‚Â£$..Check it out

Hey skully

Don't forget that you can get Boot shows with Geezer and Ozzy! Geezer has played a lot of shows with Ozzy over the years.

I got that Philadelphia show from 1989...I think Geezer's on that one.

That's a killer show with Geezer and a smoking Zakk! Love that show!

That "Bloodbath in paradise" version is great there! I first thought it was a sabbath song! Completely forgot it was from the Wicked album!

He was back in 95 as well with Joe Holmes

I know, the backing band on that 89 tour was CRUSHING. Zakk, Geezer, and Randy Castillo...probably my favorite Ozzy backing band.

Ok, I've listened to this a few times, and while a lot of the tunes are quite good, I still really can not get into it. The main reason is due to Zakk's guitar squealing. It just grates on my nerves; even worse than nails on a chalkboard. To me, it just ruins the songs. Maybe I'm getting old, but I just don't like it.
