RIP OZZY

[ZJohnson]

Crazy this happened two week after his last concert. He was clearly holding out for one last hurrah with the boys. RIP legend.

This is maybe my favorite:

Damn. He just did the Sabbath reunion concert; goes out on top I suppose

Only time I heard him in person was his uh, “creative” rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” at Wrigley. RIP

All eras of his music were actually pretty great. Nobody stays that consistent for that amount of time.

When you buy the best guitar players around and have song writers it's not quite as impressive but he was certainly an icon.

It was in Des Moines in 1982 when he bit the head off of a bat.

Legendary.

And yet Kieth Richards lives on.

Kelly looks like a completely different person since the days of the reality show and as a contributor on Joan Rivers red carpet shows. Whoa

My mom bought me Blizzard of Oz way back then as Crazy Train was the hottest song on Rock radio back in the day. All dudes my age loved that song.

First Theo, now Ozzy. Who is going to be #3?

Gilmour will be the one that gets me.

I'm actually amazed he's made it this long. He's been in rough shape for a while.

Yeah I was shocked when I read 76. He seemed 76 when that reality show aired 25 years ago.

I had a feeling he was gonna go soon. Makes me really happy that he got to do that last show. I loved Ozzy's solo stuff, but Sabbath was always one of my biggest influences. Even as a toddler I would run around the house in my diaper headbanging to Iron Man.

See You on the Other Side was my class song the year I graduated. That was probably his last good album. Everyone was listening to that album for a while and then suddenly forgot about it. My neighbor was jamming it the other day and I said "wow, I haven't listened to that album since the late 90s. Completely forgot it existed."

RIP OZZY!

I fully believe that many people know when they're about to go and I think he was one of them.

Its fun to watch a very young Ozzy and Sabbath perform at what appears to be a hippie festival

 

[Althetuna]

One of the founding fathers of heavy metal. Well done Ozzy.

Any chance that Neal kid that threw the bat was related to the Neal that played for the Clones in the 80s?

I enjoyed a lot of Ozzy music.
