Can't stand Ozzy anymore, not even his (overplayed) Rhandy Roads material. He's just a clown getting by on his insipid "crazy" act. A cartoon. He may have serious mental health issues, but the way he cashes in on them in such a lame way makes him intolerable.

"I'm going off the rails on a crazy train"?

**** off, *******.

Dio era Sabbath on the other hand is quality, quality music. Not as good as old school Sabbath, but certainly amazing in it's own right. "Neon Knights" is still one of my all time favorite Sabbath songs after almost ten years.

The issue i have with criticising Ozzy is that we never really know who's pulling the strings behind his image. The reason why he fell out with Iommi & co was due to his drug addiction and the person it made him. But more importantly in my view is the effect Sharon has on the singer. She's often been called the "yoko of sabbath" and let's face it. She's made a pretty penny for herself on the back of exploiting her husband

Some anger issues huh, buddy? When did crazy train come out? The early 80's? That was 30 years ago. I don't think he was contemplating cashing in on any potential mental disability 30 years ago.

Sabbath all the way. Ozzy's stuff solo is very polished and Rhoads is a fret master but Sabbath stuff is way heavier.

The Batlord

What can I say, his work with Sabbath is sort of sacred to me, so for him to be such a tool these days pisses me off.

What are you talking about? He's been cashing in on his whole crazy gimmick since his solo career started.

then you must be proud that "these days" Ozzy is sober and looks back on his manic career with an equal mixture of nostalgia and deep regret.

Nah, since these days he's just a pathetic old hack desperately trying to get attention through putting his family on display on MTV, continually releasing ****ty albums, and anything else he can do to whore himself out. **** Ozzy. He's a legend for his work with Black Sabbath, but he makes me sick these days.

I liked a few singles from Ozzys album Scream, released a year or so ago. I like both artist, Ozzy and DIo. No reason for me to compare one to the other.

There's one very good reason. I asked you to. Now step to it.

Just kidding. I know what you mean it's like asking if you like your wife's left tit or right tit better. I like these kind of either or questions though. Some of the replies have been good. I like the guy who said early Sabbath is sacred so it pisses him off that Ozzy acts like a tool. I was living overseas when The Osbournes came on tv and people told me I was going to love it when I finally got to see it. I watched about five minutes before I couldn't stand it. Mostly because it just kept jumping around.

Scream and Black Rain are pretty good. They got a lot of flack because Ozzy "sounds different", but I still find them both very enjoyable.
