OZZY OSBOURNE HAS PASSED

[Rudi]

Ozzy passed today. He was 76.

 

[IAM Rand]

Long ling the Prince of Darkness. I am sure that I did a beer bong or 2 back in high school to Ozzy.

 

[Rustyt1953]

I saw Black Sabbath at the old Cincinnati Gardens.

Festival seating and the exhaust fans labored mightily.

I am a long time fan.

The Rock and Roll heaven All-stars just got an amazing front man. Rest in peace, Madman. Thanks for the music.

Off the rails for the last time.

Sad news. At least he went out with a bang and got one last performance in. I saw Black Sabbath twice at the Black and Blue (Oyster Cult) shows that were yearly events in Honolulu for a few years. But it was with Ronnie James Dio, not Ozzy. Wish that I’d seen him live. Their eponymous first album is my favorite and is a true classic. You will truly be missed, Mr. Osbourne…R.I.P.

Actually got to meet him at a gun show here,he was doing a concert at Rupp Arena here in lex ky and was doing a pass through on setup day,my late friend was a huge Ozzie fan swore up and down it wasn’t him (ozzy was 5 ft nuttin)Ashe was to short,should have seen his face when ozzy got to our table and talked,

 

[LEGION12]

First album I ever bought .

 

[jeffrefrig]

I just walked in and that’s the first thing I heard on the radio @3:00P. Not a surprise but it still hurts a lot. Between The Doors, Alice Cooper, and Black Sabbath it’s no wonder my grades went down! When Ozzie & Co. came out it just blew me away. At least the original 4 had one last go together.
R I P Ozzie, your music will live on. Plus all the stories…

 

[mikerjf]

Will never forget putting that 1st LP on and hearing the church bells…

And later, when Iron Man hit the airwaves!

RIP Oz…

What a loss. See you on the Crazy Train one day, sir.

I am so glad he got to go back to England and have that farewell concert in his hometown. I never got to see Ozzie live. He was supposed to play Reading Festival in 1980 with Blizzard of Oz, but the band wasn't ready so we got Slade instead, another story I'm sure I;ve told here before.

I've been bracing myself for the loss of many of my rock heroes since Neil Peart and my bass hero Peter Cowling passed. I hope this isn't the start of rush.

 

[pharmer]

Even with a largely "fuzzy recollection" I remember the all-night show at the Fillmore East back in Winter of 1971. Riding the "Crazy Train" is better remembered, don't know I could survive at my "advanced age." RIP. Joe

 

[JohnRippert]

I hope Randy was waiting for him when he passed over. RIP Ozzy.

Another immense talent has moved on to whatever comes next. Catch you later dude.

I am a long time fan.

I was there that night too!

 

[Rustyt1953]

At the time I lived 6 blocks from the Gardens. I shuffled my way back home and decimated mom's fridge and pantry.

Always liked OzzY

Gonna dig out a couple CDs for the ride to work tomorrow.

 

[snubbyfan]

I cranked up an Ozzy CD while I was running errands in Winchester VA this morning.
When my peripheral motor nerve condition started it was, "I don't wanna top" and "Crazy Train."
After Lisa passed, I couldn't and still can't listen to "See you on the other side" without my vision getting blurry.
