    He and Sharon have been longtime proponents of euthanasia. It's entirely possible this was the plan all along.

    Honestly, no judgment either way. Ozzy is a legend, and he died as he lived - on his own terms. RIP.

    There's a reason he came off so doddering on The Osbournes.

    i looked more into the disease, apparently for some people the first symptoms are usually outside the brain, like loss of smell, or some GI issue, not all but some. one time i stumbled into a parkinsons forum, and some people said they began loss of smell

    There were some comments he made after the show that really made it sound like he knew his time was up.

    The emotions he had during a few of the songs, I chalked up to the finality of the performance at the time. Now I definitely feel it was something bigger he knew.

    Singing about end-times in your twenties is cool and edgy. Bringing those same lyrics to his metaphorical death bed, hit totally different and it showed.

    He wasn't an original Sabbath member. Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward were the members. Rhoads was Ozzy's guitarist when he went solo.

    I'm not sure that's how I would describe his last 25 years. He was shuffling around on the Osbournes a quarter century ago looking a little worse for ware for someone in their early fifties.

  • I remember going to an ozzy concert around the time of the Osborne’s and he shuffled to the mic like an old man, and as soon as the music hit, he was running and jumping around stage like a madman. The concert was ozzy and Rob zombie so it was a great show, i also remember Rob zombie’s wife in a cage on stage

    Dang, one of the few that I feel most people actually get sad about. He did get to live a long life though, longer than anyone else would have with all the shit he's done (don't mean that in a bad way). Rock in peace you legend.

    Yeah, it kinda feels like he doesn't count though, he's more like a demigod. Ozzy was kinda that too, but always felt like he had a human element that Iggy hasn't, also don't mean any of this in a bad way.
    Seen both live a couple of times, superb shows even though I'm not a major fan of either's music. Definitely appreciate the music and have no issues with it, just not my goto.

    He made it to the average expectancy. Considering he was anything but "average" he made it a lot longer than most I think expected.

    We lost a pioneer of culture today. Ozzy had such a vast cultural reach he became a household name. I can’t tell you how many dogs I’ve met named Ozzy because of him.

    Rest in Peace to one of the most incredible personalities in music ever.

    I saw Sabbath live when I was a teenager in the early aughts and they def still had it then, so I'm assuming the same up until that final show. RIP

    Yep, saw them at Ozzfest 20+ years ago, and even then they were "old". But they crushed!

    Those were good times. I was at the Ozzfest where Marilyn Manson humped the back of a security guards head and then got sued for it. Good times indeed.

    Which year? Manson was I think third billed at the one I went to. (2001)

    2001 sounds right. I was definitely at that one. I remember the t shirt being Satan grabbing his hairy balls and flipping you the bird. They made me turn that t shirt inside out in high school when I wore it. Buncha facists.

    I also remember Sony had a PS2 truck there and you could play Twisted Metal Black. It was awesome.

    I would've loved to see that, but no, it was Marilyn Manson. Which was still a great show

    Oh damn the Manson one I missed going to. I was supposed to see Manson around 2005, but it was an outdoor concert and the whole thing got canceled due to storms, so never did get to see him; but yeah, SOAD was absolutely fantastic.

    The Osbournes are a bunch of Trump supporters. After the (allegedly) staged assassination attempt, the whole family hopped on The Osbournes podcast to sing his praises. I grew up with this family but I was so disgusted by their comments that I immediately unsubscribed and haven't followed anything Ozzy since...

    ...

    Fuck.

    I didn't know that about him. I wish I still didn't.

    No shade on you. Thank you for bringing it up.

    EDIT: I can't find anything about Ozzy or the Osbournes supporting Donald Trump, and most of the articles I can find even regarding the two are Ozzy calling Trump an out-of-touch old fool and the Osbournes sending him a C&D over his use of Crazy Train (with a note suggesting he use music from artists that actually support him, like Kanye, Kid Rock, and Ted Nugent). That said, I did find a podcast episode where they talk about the assassination attempt, but the synopsis doesn't say what they say about it. I guess I'll have to listen to it and judge for myself, when I have the spoons to do so.

    Plus, his bitch wife is a grade-a asshole. Fired her many-year PA for not running BACK into a burning building to get her trinkets while he was in the back of an ambulance on a ventalator being treated for smoke inhalation from running in to the building to rescue her dog - which she'd left to burn. And she went on TV and gleefully recounted the story, laughing, because of what a good story it was.

    Zero surprise she's a Trumper.

    This one is tough. I wasn't an Ozzy super fan or anything, but at the time I grew up (70s - 80s), there was no avoiding him.
    I listen to some of the older Black Sabbath songs differently now as well, and have a different appreciation for them. Doesn't stop me from doing some air guitar in the car though.

    🤘RIP Ozzy🤘 You certainly didn't die as an ordinary man.
