RIP. An absolute icon.
I was always a fan of the quintessential classic rock bands, The Stones, Zeppelin, The Who, etc. And I still love them, but I remember the first time I heard War Pigs so vividly. I was probably 17, and had picked up the Paranoid album on a whim at a used CD store. I started playing it in my car on the drive home. Just like most people, I was already familiar with the title track and Iron Man, but I kid you not, the instant the guitar plays its first note, I was hooked. One of the best opening tracks of an album in history.
Job well done, Mr. Osbourne. You leave as one of the all time greats.
