Bringing them into metal community? I seriously fucking doubt it.

I have mixed views on the Oz... I think he is a metal icon for his music with Black Sabbath and his solo music, however at the same time, he's actually a very weak singer and you could say his classic Sabbath/solo albums are only considered to be classic because of the amazing guitar players he has worked with...

Without Tony Iommi he would still be back in England working in some boring job. He's a poor singer, though his vocals do fit old Sabbath, and not much of a songwriter.

I really don't care; saying Ozzy is a corporate whore is like saying that the Backstreet Boys are a bunch of no talent ass clowns...it's a given. He's been a whore for so long that it doesn't matter anymore, kinda like KISS. How I detest KISS, not for the lunchboxes and bedsheets, but just because they fucking suck.

well, you're full of shit, and maybe just a little jealous.

just because we hate backstreetboys doesn't mean they have no talent. ozzy's a millionaire. and you?

whinnin' about kiss lunchboxes

i say why not, more money in the bank

This is what is wrong about our world. Success is measured in financial possessions. There are more important things than that.

OZZY IS NO BRAIN FUCKING WHORE. HE'D GET CONFUSED ABOUT TIEING HIS FUCKING SHOE LACES FOR FUCKS SAKE

So that makes him a whore? If anything, he's metal's Keith Richards... jesus, the man has done more high grade acid than of us could imagine... it's a miracle his body fuckin functions... much less performs on tours. I say he's holding it down...

His wife is the corporate whore, and she learned that from daddy.

And now daughter is learning it from mommy..

Seems Jack has his head on in the sense that he wants to take on a record label. He doesn't pretend he can sing in stupid videos with stupid songs.
 
Ozzy hasn't mattered to anyone but the really fucking "old schoolers" in years... WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK?
 
Maybe he thought it would be fun. Why else do it? it is not like he is buying highgrade drugs or going big pimping. We've seen the show. Other than that huge stupid house I have no idea where the money is going. And if he isn't using it, why whore his image out? Maybe he is just having fun.
 
To all of the people that slag Ozzy, FUCK OFF. The guy IS a metal icon who has gotten overexposed...I can't believe some people don't realize what an influence he has been on ALL metal music. Black Sabbath were the first true heavy metal band and influenced 99% of the bands you listen to. If you want to rip on someone, rip on some of these fucking no talent, one hit wonder nu-metal bands or something. The guy has had a successful 30+ year career and should be respected for that.

I see..however, does he deserve respect for allowing his spoiled ass, annoying as fuck, kids on tv to rant and rave about trivial bullshit, penly coming off as a burnout, brainless fuckwit, and releasing an album such as Down to Earth? I'm sorry bro, as great as Sabbath was and as memorable as some of Ozzy's solo work songs are..the guys time is fucking UP...

Then don't buy his music. But to deny him what he's done, that's pretty sad, really.

I don't deny that Black Sabbath were an iconoclistic group that have influenced a whole genre. But I do deny Ozzy taking all the credit for it. Geezer and Tony were Sabbath in my opinion. You could take Ozzy out of the picture and add whoever in there and they wouldn't be any less the gods that they are. Papa said it best. His wife is the one mostly responsable for all his new found hype that he has accumulated. And if it wasn't for her, he wouldn't be half way as successful as he is now.

But deep down. I could really give a fuck what he does. If it makes him happy, so be it.
