Well it's better than I thought it was gonna be. Luckily it has Zakk all over it so it's quite good... but Ozzy's singing is pretty bad. I mean he's never been the greatest singer but this is just like droning and I found it irritating on the first listen... I'll give it a few more listens and see if it gets any better.

Shocking isn't it. Maybe it was the quality of the mp3 - but if not, Ozzy has lost it. For crying out loud, the guy can hardly talk anymore (just watch 'The Last Supper').

They would be better of simply using a little studio magic and mixing the vocals from old Ozzy and Sabbath albums, by taking a few words from various songs to make a verse. Even then it would sound less 'forced'.

bla blaa bla bla blaa bla.. blaaaa In a moderatley high pitched whine.

Otherwise, it was a pretty cool song.

Aside from the masterpiece that is Tribute, I don't care much for solo Ozzy. After listening to the great live version of Crazy Train, I compared it to the flat, two-dimensional sounding studio take on Blizzard of Ozz and proceeded to sell my copy of said album. To Duellist as it happens .

Just out of curiosity, do the remasters sound any better? Not that I'd buy them unless I won a lottery or something

The Ozzman isn't a living legend, y'understand, but a large part of his reputation comes from his "evil bastard" persona rather than his questionable musical ability. Compare his work with Sabbath to that of Tony Martin, and I don't think there can be any question as to who is the better vocalist.

(Wrathy realises the implications of what he's just typed and runs away to hide under the bed...)
