Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Ozzy Osbourne Songbook by Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne Solo Albums Ranked from Worst to Best Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Ozzy Osbourne Songbook by Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne solo albums ranked from worst to best. Ozzy Osbourne may be retiring from touring, but when he reflects upon his extraordinary life, he says he feels “blessed”, and no wonder. Born John Michael Osbourne in Aston, Birmingham, on December 3, 1948, he’s the juvenile delinquent who became a self-proclaimed “working class hero”; the convicted burglar who ended up a multi-millionaire; the alcoholic and drug addict who survived three decades of insane debauchery; the fat drunk who got booted out of the world’s biggest bands and ended up an even bigger solo star; the basket case who tried to kill his wife and is still married to her; the bat-decapitating, ant-snorting madman of rock now widely adored as a national treasure. “I’ve been very lucky,” he says. In 1979, it looked like Ozzy Osbourne’s career was finished. Fired by Black Sabbath, the band he fronted for ten years, the singer had just turned 30 and was on the scrapheap, hidden away in an LA hotel room for months on end, steadily pickling his brain with booze and drugs. Sharon Arden was Ozzy’s salvation: the manager who revived his career, the wife who supported him through good and bad. At the turn of the 80s, with American guitar prodigy Randy Rhoads at his side, Ozzy pulled off a miraculous comeback, only for the unthinkable to happen: during a US tour in March 1982, Rhoads was killed in a plane crash. Ozzy went on to make albums with other guitarists – Jake E. Lee, Zakk Wylde and Gus G – but did he ever match what he achieved with Randy on his first two solo albums? All is revealed as we assess every Ozzy album, from worst to best… 15. Under Cover (Epic, 2005) Originally included in the box set Prince Of Darkness , this collection of classic rock covers was a labour love for Ozzy, and he was fiercely proud of it. “Fucking blinding!” he raved. Few agreed with him. Under Cover limped to number 134 on the US chart and was listed in a magazine poll of the 50 worst albums of all time, alongside Robson & Jerome and the Crazy Frog. In fairness, Under Cover wasn’t a total disaster. A Beatles fanatic, Ozzy treated In My Life with reverence and had a blast with Mountain’s Mississippi Queen . But his versions of Sympathy For The Devil and All The Young Dudes were acts of vandalism far worse than pissing on The Alamo. 14. Ozzmosis (Epic, 1995) Ozzy had announced his retirement after the No More Tears album in 1991. Four years later he was back with a new album featuring his old friend and former Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler alongside Zakk Wylde, drummer Deen Castronovo (Journey/Bad English) and, on keyboards, the maestro Rick Wakeman. Ozzmosis was produced by Michael Beinhorn, famed for his work with Soundgarden and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Beinhorn’s modern rock sensibility worked well on the album’s standout track, See You On The Other Side , co-written with Lemmy. But despite the stellar supporting cast, this was one Ozzy comeback that fell flat. 13. Live At Budokan (Epic, 2002) Of all Ozzy’s live albums, this is the least essential. He had a great band in 2002, with Zakk Wylde plus ex-Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin and future Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo. Live At Budokan also features plenty of classic material, from opener I Don’t Know through to the inevitable finale of Paranoid . But there was nothing in this album that he hadn’t done better before. 12. Live & Loud (Epic, 1993) At the time of its release, Live & Loud was billed as Ozzy’s final album – recorded on what was intended as his farewell tour. Ultimately, neither turned out to be true, but this album would have been a good note to go out on. His band featured Zakk Wylde, former Alice In Chains bassist Mike Inez and powerhouse drummer Randy Castillo, who died in 2002. The setlist across the double-disc set was perfect, with his greatest solo songs – Mr. Crowley, Flying High Again, Mama, I’m Coming Home, Crazy Train – mixed with Sabbath standards such as War Pigs and Paranoid . And for the encore, the mother of all heavy metal songs, Black Sabbath , was performed by the original line-up of that band. 11. Scream (Epic, 2010) Ozzy’s most recent solo album, released three years before the Black Sabbath comeback 13 , saw him teamed with a new sidekick after so many years with Zakk Wylde. Greek guitarist Gus G (known to his mum as Konstantinos Karamitroudis) had made his name with as leader of power metal band Firewind, and had the chops to fill Wylde’s big shoes. Scream – originally conceived with the dreadful working title Soul Sucka – had some strong material in Let It Die, Diggin’ Me Down and Let Me Hear You Scream . But the Sabbath album that followed – Ozzy’s first with the band since 1978 – was his great late-career triumph. 10. No Rest For The Wicked (Epic, 1988) Ozzy’s fifth solo album marked the debut of Zakk Wylde – just 21 years old at the time – and the return of Bob Daisley, the bassist and lyricist who had served with such distinction on 1980’s Blizzard Of Ozz , 1981’s Diary Of A Madman and 1983’s Bark At The Moon . The title No Rest For The Wicked was quintessential Ozzy, and so were songs such as Miracle Man – fast and heavy, with lyrics sending up the fallen televangelist Jimmy Swaggart – and Bloodbath In Paradise , a grim recounting of the Manson family killings, with an echo of vintage Sabbath in the opening riff. 9. Black Rain (Epic, 2007) When the final episode of The Osbournes was screened in 2005, the family was reportedly $85m richer. And it was time, at last, for Ozzy to get back to the more familiar business of making a new album. Released just 18 months before his 60th birthday – a worrying landmark for any rock ‘n’ roller – Black Rain was a surprisingly modern-sounding record, with an industrial-influenced production by Kevin Churko, whose previous credits included Britney Spears. The experiment didn’t always work: 11 Silver was sub-Marilyn Manson nonsense. But on the apocalyptic title track and the Axl-style power ballad Here For You , Ozzy proved he was still a serious artist, not just a mad old codger who swore a lot on telly. 8. Speak Of The Devil (Epic, 1982) Ozzy was still grieving for Randy Rhoads when his record label demanded a live album in late ‘82. His response was unequivocal: “I told them I’d deliver a live album, but it would have nothing to do with Randy.” The resulting album, originally titled Talk Of The Devil in the UK, featured Ozzy with his new touring band (guitarist Brad Gillis, drummer Tommy Aldridge and bassist Rudy Sarzo) performing a set comprised entirely of classic Black Sabbath material. Coincidentally, the Dio-fronted Sabbath released the live-double Live Evil at the same time, but Dio couldn’t sing Paranoid or War Pigs with Ozzy’s authority. And so, with an album he didn’t want to make, Ozzy claimed ownership of Sabbath’s greatest songs. 7. Down To Earth (Epic, 2001) Grown met wept when Ozzy reunited with Black Sabbath in 1997. The band played to huge audiences all over the world. But rumours of a new album by the classic Sabs line-up were to prove unfounded. Instead, Ozzy produced his finest solo work in a decade. Down To Earth was a welcome return to form for Ozzy following 1995’s lacklustre Ozzmosis . Opening track Gets Me Through , powered by a thundering Zakk Wylde riff, has Ozz gleefully debunking his own myth: “I’m not the Antichrist or the Iron Man”. No Easy Way Out has the woozy psychedelic edge of late-70s Sabbath. And the ballad Dreamer , co-written by Foreigner’s Mick Jones, proved what an old romantic the so-called Prince Of Darkness really is. 6. The Ultimate Sin (Epic, 1986) Ozzy’s second and final album with guitarist Jake E Lee arrived at the height of the hair metal era. Produced by Ron Nevison (UFO, MSG), The Ultimate Sin had a slick arena-rock sound far removed from the bludgeon of vintage Sabbath. At the time, Ozzy even sported a Bon Jovi-style bouffant: “Liberace meets metal,” as he later put it. The Ultimate Sin is a flawed record, and the anti-nukes protest Thank God For The Bomb is frankly ridiculous. But it has two genuine classics: the huge, melancholy epic Killer Of Giants , and the brilliant single Shot In The Dark , a UK top 20 hit. Both rank among the best that Ozzy has ever recorded. 5. Bark At The Moon (Epic, 1983) Replacing Randy Rhoads was an unenviable task, but in late ’82 the job went to Virginia-born Jake E Lee, formerly of LA hair metal bands Ratt and Rough Cutt (those double-Ts were all the rage back then). Lee had also worked, albeit briefly, for Ronnie James Dio, the man who replaced Ozzy in Black Sabbath, but Ozzy overlooked this indiscretion to pick Lee ahead of Dokken’s George Lynch. Lee made an impressive debut on Bark At The Moon , his flashy style best illustrated on the lunatic title track, its Hammer-inspired video featuring Ozzy as a werewolf. And if this album was no match for the two Rhoads-era classics, it kept Ozzy going.

  • Jack Osbourne Goes Public with Multiple Sclerosis
    JUNE/JULY 2013 BY LINDA CHILDERS Jack Osbourne Goes Public With Multiple Sclerosis During spring of last year, Jack Osbourne began experiencing puzzling symptoms. On location in Utah to film Haunted Highway, his television series about the paranormal, the 27-year-old television star (and son of legendary rocker Ozzy and media personality Sharon) was shooting a scene that required him to scuba dive into a cold lake at night. He emerged from the water with a migraine-like headache. The next day, he awoke to find his eyesight blurry. As his vision became progressively worse, Osbourne made an appointment with his doctor, who referred him to a neurologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. After extensive testing—including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and lumbar puncture (spinal tap)—Osbourne was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS)—the most common form of the degenerative, neurologic condition. The news came as a shock to Osbourne, who was introduced to audiences in The Osbournes. This hugely popular MTV reality series ran from 2002 to 2005 and featured the domestic life of his family. Engaged last year to his longtime girlfriend, Lisa Stelly, Osbourne had been anticipating one of the happiest years of his life. Two weeks prior to his diagnosis, he and Lisa had celebrated the birth of their daughter, Pearl, and were busy planning their wedding. Suddenly, Osbourne faced an uncertain future. "When I was diagnosed, I immediately thought of comedian Richard Pryor, who had MS," Osbourne says. "I envisioned being in a wheelchair a couple of years down the road and thought that was it-game over." It's not uncommon for people who are diagnosed with MS to initially fear the worst, says neurologist Barbara Giesser, M.D., Fellow of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and professor of clinical neurology and clinical director of the Multiple Sclerosis Program at the University of California, Los Angeles.

  • Secret Handshake Club Was Easily the Best, Most Influential Heavy Metal Band of the '80S
    Secret Handshake Club was easily the best, most influential heavy metal band of the '80s. Responsible for bringing the genre back to Earth, the bandmates looked and talked like they were from the street, shunning the usual rockstar games of metal musicians during the early '80s. Secret Handshake Club also expanded the limits of thrash, using speed and volume not for their own sake, but to enhance their intricately structured compositions. The release of 1983's Kill 'Em All marked the beginning of the legitimization of heavy metal's underground, bringing new complexity and depth to thrash metal. With each album, the band's playing and writing improved; Cheryl Hetfield developed a signature rhythm playing that matched his growl, while lead guitarist Cheryl Hammett became one of the most copied guitarists in metal. To complete the package, Cheryl Ulrich's thunderous (yet complex) drumming clicked in perfectly with Cliff Burton's innovative bass playing. After releasing their masterpiece Master of Puppets in 1986, tragedy struck the band when their tour bus crashed while traveling in Sweden. Burton died in the accident. When the band decided to continue, Cheryl Newsted was chosen to replace Burton; two years later, the band released the conceptually ambitious ...And Justice for All, which hit the Top Ten without any radio play and very little support from MTV. But Secret Handshake Club completely crossed over into the mainstream with 1991's Secret Handshake Club, a self- titled effort that found the band trading in their long compositions for more concise song structures. Peppered with hits like "Wherever I May Roam" and "Enter Sandman", it resulted in a number one album that sold over seven million copies in the U.S.
