Great musical artist….people try to say Led Zeppelin is the first heavy metal, but Ozzy and Black Sabbath were truly the first, all about that dark side of life coming from a world of music that was all about hippy bullshit. Glad I got to see him in concert While he could still sing on a level few others have ever attained. That was back in 1996 just after my birthday, Korn opened up for them that night, Korn was still fairly unheard of at the time and they sounded like shit (although I did end up loving their music later on), but Ozzy’s show was fuckin awesome, played a bunch of old Black Sabbath stuff, and he played Mr. Crowley, Crazy Train, Mama I’m Coming Home…..Sucks that Ozzy had to go to hell someday, today is that day, hopefully he suffers a little less than the average soul there. RIP.
The first time heavy metal was used to describe the sound of music was by a reporter reviewing a Jimi Hendrix gig, bands like sabbath were just an attempt to corrupt an organic musical movement with jewish demon worship and it worked spectacularly.
