I am Ozzy

[Harvester]

His autobiography is out. It's an awesome read so far with a lot of laughs.


And you can relax as the emphasis is on his music career, not the television show.

 

[Jasonic]

Interesting. I didn't even know a book was coming out.

Is it about his solo era, or the Sabbath years too?

 

[Harvester]

His entire career. The Sabbath era covers 1/3 of the book.

 

[booB]

Is the font blurry in the book?

 

[edgeofthorns]

I love Ozzy! I'll have to pick this up.

[OrbWeaver]

I might just have to get this, given that I was obsessed with Ozzy for a period in my late teens/early 20s.

 

[NobleKnight]

Just ordered it, thanks for the post. Another good metal read is slayers little reign in blood book.

 

[modernwizardry]

I'll check this out. The last autobiography I read was for Wayne Gretzky.

 

[drmetal8]

That's weird. I just saw this in Barnes & Noble. Didn't know it just came out. I did read some of Lemmy's autobiography "White Line Fever" while I was there and it was pretty interesting.

For the chicago folks here...Ozzy will be signing copies of this book next Saturday, 1/30, @ Barnes and Noble in Skokie.

I assume this is the one in Old Orchard??? Not sure if there is another B&N in Skokie.

I am suprised he was able to remember those days

I'm not. In my experiences with my grandfather before he died in 1998, he could tell stories about growing up in southern Missouri 60 years earlier, but couldn't remember what he ate for breakfast that morning.

Sweet! Any idea Jason where you heard this and time?

 

[7thSaviour]

I definitely wanna read this book!

I think he should have named his book, "Let's See Your Fucking Hands!" since that's about all I ever heard him say at concerts, and it also appears quite frequently on live albums

How much is real though, and how much is the way Sharon "remembers" it (even when she was not there)?

 

[speedy1383]

I will probably pick this up in a few weeks. It will be interesting to see if he states that he "wrote" many of the songs for Sabbath and his solo career.

Well, he's stated before that he hardly wrote anything for Sabbath, so I doubt he put that in the book. I think he's wrote a lot of his solo stuff, but a lot of it was with a lot of help of other musicians.

Holy Crap...February 3rd signing in Huntington Beach! That's about a 10 minute drive for me....I just may have to go and meet the Ozz man.......
