driventotheedge Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Ozzy is a great heavy metal and hard rock showman. He's not a great vocalist, but he's a great rock singer. When you think about it, a hell of a lot of rock singers are not very good.You summed up my feeling perfectly. I might add one other thing, Ozzy has something that all truly great rock frontmen have, charisma.And btw, he's not a horrible vocalist either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I really liked the first few BS albums, but I couldn't take his singing and just stopped listening to them. Wondering what everyone else here thinks. it's great when i'm in the mood. maybe technically not a great voice. it was AWESOME for what that band was doing. Mick I agree with Mick. When I'm in the mood I'm a OZZY ADDICT! As you all know we have Treeduck on here. But I am a strange duck. I love all Black Sabbath but man I LOVE OZZY'S SOLO STUFF MORE!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!! OZZY FUCKKING RULES! He's gonna outlive us all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Feels like time for an Ozzy classic... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGgECvDBDCU Only one of the greatest songs ever made. Every Ozzy record including "No More Tears" is a masterpiece. I do love "OZZMOSIS" but it was the beginning of the end. As some of you know Steve Vai recorded the guitar tracks for that record. OZZY Fukkin hated it. So he called Zakk to come in and lay it down. Still, as I have mentioned this on here for over a decade. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE to have CBS release these Vai Ozzy recordings from the vault! OZZY RULES! "Black Rain" wasn't bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read about Elton John doing a Farewell Tour. "Rocket Man" is on my stereo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note give me "Technical Ecstasy" instead. Hell I will take "DIGITAL BITCH" too. Hell I married one. How about "Computer God" by Black Sabbath with DIO!! BOOM!

ozzy85 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I compare Ozzy to Mick Jagger and Willie Nelson in a way. Not great in a technical way, but loaded with charisma. Either you like these singers, or not. Not many people are in the middle about it. If you ask my wife, she'll forego Ozzy for Dio any day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can throw David Lee Roth and Steven Tyler in there for good measure. And Brian Johnson and Bon Scott. Most rock singers, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That man has a one-in-a-million voice, and those screams are pure, unfiltered rock and roll. Range he's got covered, and as far as technical ability you can't ignore his versatility (Big Ten Inch Record to Dream On to Cryin' to Last Child to much more) and his control (all the a cappella stuff in Love In An Elevator). Tyler is top 3 for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate2112 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I liked him in Sabbath and his earlier stuff. For someone who can barely enunciate a single word, he's actually a really good singer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be a great singer in some contexts and not others...but I suppose I overplayed his technique a bit. I still think he's about perfect though.
