May 17 12 10:08 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I never get tired of Parents... if you make it that far, try If I Were Britannia I'd Waive The Rules... the remastered version has a great modern update to Black Velvet Stallion. (I wouldn't suggest any other of their modern reworkings of the old stuff, but Black Velvet Stallion sounds awesome and totally different!) I think my all-time favorite might be Zoom Club, though. A perfect Monster has no end...

I also always envied the people who got to see those ill fated BLACK SABBATH/RAMONES concerts in the 70's. Mind boggling pair up there.

I really like the Parents acoustic version. IN FOR THE KILL would probably be my 3rd favorite release. I had BRITANNIA out from the library but it didn't do much for me. Usually what happens is my love for a group grows and I go back discovering and liking stuff I dismissed earlier.

My dad apparently saw the infamous VAN HALEN/BLACK SABBATH tour in 78', which had to be crazy. I would love to see something like that now.

The part that blew my mind the most was that the only part of that song that was about that was pretty much the title! LOL! I loved how Geezer rationalized it by saying it was typical Ozzy how the song just went into a totally unrelated topic. My fanzine all about Rock N Roll: www.sonicruin.com

The Black Velvet Stallion I'm talking about is a bonus only on that one... otherwise, yeah, it's not the best album. The Bandolier remaster has the only B-side track they released (during the classic run of the band) for a bonus track. A perfect Monster has no end...

It was also probably in the bands best interest to tone down the blatant intent for fear of skinhead reprisal. It didn't take much then to rile up an angry young mob to violence and an internationally released song calling them "faeries" would put them over the top i am sure haha. Carl,how about that scratch vocal track for "Paranoid' where Ozzy is just spouting off a long stream of unrelated gibberish? Hilarious stuff.

May 19 12 10:35 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	It actually gave ;)me a lot of respect for the writing process of the band. I love the fact that the melody was 100% Ozzy, but then the lyrics that made sense came from Geezer. It also is consistent with how Daisley and Kerslake said the writing of the first two solo albums were written. They said Ozzy would hum the melodies or make up words, then they and Randy would come up with the words. It also helps me respect Ozzy more, showing that he does not just rely on everybody else.

May 19 12 12:36 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	...too bad Ozzy dosen't have it as together today. Any artistic credibility he had in the early 80s has long passed, including the recent records and their infantile lyrics, plus the lawsuit that was brought up by Daisley and Kerslake, who never recieved royalties and were unceremoniously replaced by other musicians on those early albums. He's become a walking shadow, nowadays. Anybody been keeping up with the drama regarding the Black Sabbath reunion? It's a real trainwreck.

What's going on? I understand that a new record should be out for Christmas...has this changed? Dude, it's so screwed up. First, Tony Iommi got lymphoma and has been undergoing cancer treatment. Next, the band did not decide to cut it up four ways and Bill Ward refused to play with them, until he recieved a signable contract. Only a few shows have been set with the band, but all will be without Bill on drums. All of the other announced shows are going to be called, "Ozzy and Friends" which sounds like a kids show. Today, Geezer Butler released a statement knocking Bill for backing out and claiming his story to be false, so who knows. It feels so messed up, right now and it's amazing that they can't get it together. Bill won't even be on the new record, which sort of defeats the purpose of calling it a "reunion." The Ozzy camp has recieved many knocks as alot place the blame on Sharon, which is understandable, when you look back at some of the shameful things that have occured within the Ozzy camp in the last decade. Meanwhile, here's some good news: Tony Iommi is teaming with Ian Gillan for another stab at the WHOCARES side project, which also includes Jason Newstead and Nicko Mcbrain, and that at least has some integrity and class. I wish I could say the same for the shenannigans in the Sabbath camp.

I wish I could say the same for the shenannigans in the Sabbath camp. I think it is more than obvious that it is Sharon to be blamed, especially if there is an idea to name the thing "Ozzy and Friends." The biggest sign of it being somebody other than Iommi, Ward, or Butler, is the simple fact that Heaven and Hell toured and recorded without an incident. Well, other than the fact that they were kept from using the name "Black Sabbath" by somebody. It is all so sad, as in all reality Ozzy is the last person of the 4 that is needed for the band to actually be Black Sabbath. IMO it is the backing band that REALLY makes them Sabbath. In Ozzy's defense, by the way, the re-releases of the first solo album and "Diary" without Kerslake and Daisley on them were condemned recently by Ozzy. He says he regrets that being done. The track have no been replaced and the albums re-released. I am sure Daisley and Kerslake still have yet to see any money, and I am sure Ozzy made his statements due 100% to the fan backlash. But he did say he regrets the choice. My fanzine all about Rock N Roll: www.sonicruin.com
