What is there to say about Ozzy Osbourne that hasn’t been said already? Dude’s the Prince of Darkness, the Ozzman, and the granddaddy of stoner rock/heavy metal/Satan music. Never mind that he hasn’t made a good record in more than 25 years. He recorded at least a half dozen great ones when he was in Black Sabbath. And so what if that damn TV show exposed him as a drooling, shuffling, and thisclose-to-comatose veg? He’s Ozzy Fucking Osbourne. He’s now on the road supporting Black Rain, his first CD of new material in six years, with Rob Zombie opening. It doesn’t get more wicked than this.

Not very impressed with your comments. Are you just trying to fill space with words of garbage? Hasnt released a good album in 25 years? Are you nuts? I have to admit the old guy isnt what he used to be but in your short article you didnt give him much praise. Heavy Metal has never needed praise from the masses to do well but I grow tired of non fans writing articles about something they know nothing about. Give the guy a break!
