It's a miracle he made it to 76, but still very sad, nonetheless.

for fucks sake

Another legend gone. And it will only get worse.

But what a send off he had. Well deserved. Never forgotten.

I heard Roger Daltrey was performing with The Who a couple days ago on his knees because his leg cramps wouldn't let him sit down or stand up. He's also going blind.

I gotta imagine Ozzy was taped up, drugged up, and propped up.... Weekend at Ozzy's style.

Amazing he pulled it off. But man... zero time to enjoy his retirement.

RIP Ozzy, sad to think he didn't make it to see his daughter getting married.

I think he was spared Dat family...

they picked the perfect song.

But why do all his girlie groupies in the stadium look like Laura Loomer?

Or is that just Birmingham?

I don't think even 10% of people at that concert were from Birmingham.

Good point.

But after all, Ozzy did marry a Sharon.

Honestly I dont know any other person in the world that has a weird jaw line and chin like Laura Loomer

At least it wasn't a Karen I guess.

First tears of the evening have been shed.

Then stay out of the 'what are you currently listening to' thread. I posted a doozy of a favorite Black Sabbath cover that made Ozzy wish he did it that well. Seemed a fitting tribute.

This night the only thing I will be blasting is Sabbath and Ozzy.

Even though I'm 38 musically I'm a 70's guy. Sabbath, Priest, Queen, Purple, Scorpions. This is my music. Any of these guys leaving is a blow to my heart.

First real concert I ever saw was Black Sabbath at the Chicago Amphitheater:

Eight months later the band would fire Ozzy

 

[MAXCAP]

Still can’t believe it, just lost some serious royalty.

But the dude did live to 76 even after biting the head off a bat. Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain couldn’t make it past 27.

I didn’t think he’d make it this long! Especially after his 1970s.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

When you account to the insane drug-led live he had nobody expected him to live this long.

I'm just glad he got to put on a hell of a farewell performance given his condition. Early Black Sabbath will always be one of most influential music in history.

RIP Prince of darkness

Even if their best album didn't even feature ozzy

Blasphemer!

I like all Sabbath but 70's Ozzy era is unbeatable.

 

[Stevie]

Won't ever be rock stars like Ozzy again.

Glad he got an amazing send off before he left.

 

[Mark]

I think my first av here was of Ozzy.

 

[s4tch]

i'm terribly sorry, i'll see myself out

Hey, I also saw them at the Chicago Ampitheater for the Mob Rules tour with Ronnie James Dio in '82

So what album would you say was their best?

But the core band at the good times... I love this cut from Don Kirschner's Rock Concert in 1975. It was a late night TV concert show every couple of weeks in the 70s. This one is Black Sabbath on their Sabotage tour.

For instance, there are kids who preoccupy a cameraman throughout the show wearing custom T-shirts that say how Black Sabbath and Ozzy are back and saving rock and roll, and they scream like Hannah Montana fans

See:

But one of the best parts is when they play "Snowblind". By 1973's Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath, the band knew they were being ripped off by their manager and a lot of the music press wanted to move on from them after their first four albums. They were pissed: both angry and doped out of their minds. So the Sabotage tour was something of a comeback as their next album.

And then from perhaps my favorite Sabbath album, Vol. 4, is "Snowblind", documenting their times where they moved to California and did tons of cocaine and don't remember much. Mid-way through the song, talcum powder starts reigning down from the rafters on the band. It's so ridiculously over-the-top and funny they even get Tony Iommi to start laughing:


You also have to remember that while this was on late night television, it was still open airwaves TV from a big broadcaster. People were uptight about being perceived to promote drugs back then. And here Sabbath is celebrating a cocaine party on television.
