Ozzy always looks and sounds horrible - UNTIL you
put him in front of an audience. Then he comes alive'
again.
We get glimpses of him, mostly on shows done by
son Jack. The Parkinsons has taken a toll, and
all the megatons of cocaine and such too. BUT,
there's still a sharp deviant wit hidden in there.
I remember when Sabbath was new - and it WAS a
distinctly different sound and tone from the
usual shit. The critics pissed all over them,
yet they created a whole new massive genre almost
overnight. Echoes of their riffs still show up
in new music.
