So, does Ozzy use a backing track?

Let's hear your opinion. I know it's a hotly debated thing as of now, and I want to know what everyone thinks. Now I'm not talking about for TV shows, as it's incredibly obvious. But I think for his tours, it's a different matter.
What say you?
I vote for a Part or two.

I saw a clip where he was performing at a Patriots game or something, and I'm pretty sure they used "Crazy Train" from live at the Budokan for the entire thing.

Now if Ozzy uses a backing track, does that mean he records a version in the studio where the lyrics are all messed up so he can use it live?

+1
he obviously wasnt using a backing track cos he had some trouble with the mic at the start, and he nearly blew his voice out when he started shouting at the audience

When I saw him a few weeks ago, he just had it on for Not Going Away for that really corn ball part at the 3:15 mark or so, the Marilyn Manson esque type part.
Other peopel SWEAR that he uses a backing track at their shows when they see him. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, but I've never seen him do it for a concert.
I also saw him on Jimmy Kimmel's live taping (both times) and it was pretty obvious that the whole thing was at the very least back tracked.

He hardly uses them...only for a few songs if his voice is cracking and Zakks back up vocals can't help it...

He's uses a few autotuners.....They're on most of the time....

Wouldn't an autotuner mean that he would sing more...tuned?

I for one would wish he'd stop using that annoying echo thing! Really ruins War Pigs imo.
