Supposedly it's his farewell tour. I'd love to go see the show in Camden this summer. Anyone else going to see Ozzy before he retires? I rate Ozzy guitarist as followed:

Jake E. Lee
Randy Rhodes
Tony Iommi
Zakk Wylde

Why jake? Because I just love his style. Randy might had been clasically trained, but IMO Jake had charisma on the stage and was a good song writer to boot. It's a shame that Sharon screwed him over on the Bark at the Moon album. Both BatM and Ultimate Sin are two of my favorite albums. Zakk is good, but he overuses harmonics waaaaay too much.

I saw his "Retirement Sucks" tour and enjoyed it. Ozzmosis is one of my favorite albums.

Hmmm, how much are tickets? I wanted to see the Guns N' Roses concert, and holy shit they wanted something like $200 a pop for SHIT seats. I laughed and said fat axl, you aren't worth that much. Slash... maybe.

used to idolize him, but he's fallen out of my favours. musically, i liked him up to No Rest For The Wicked, but everything he's done since has been really mediocre. As a person, i can't forgive him for getting with Sharon, cutting bandmates out of their royalties, lying his ass off, and in general being a shithead. The guy has (had) stage charisma, but he's not a role model. And god save us from his family.
Ozzmosis is one of my favorite albums.
ugh...

The coldest I've ever been in my life was sleeping out at the New Haven Coliseum for Ozzy tickets in the 80s. Worth it though, got 4th row center floor seats.

I just realized I've seen Ozzy more than I've seen any one else...and I'm not even a huge Ozzy fan, he just shows up wherever I am and is like "I'm going to sing!". Who am I to argue.

I fucking LOVE OZZY! You are talking about one of two people in the world that I would pass out if I actually met!

I love early Black Sabbath. One of my favorite videos and tune.


Think I wore out my copy of paranoid.
4 of us started out on an unauthorized ill fated road trip adventure from Springfield to Virginia Beach in a 62 Ford Falcon and "Paranoid" was the sole 8 track we had. I still love that album.

I saw black sabbath last year or something. It was a great show. Ozzy was on point and sounded great.

Saw him on tour back in 2011. I think he had Slash/Miles Kennedy (Alter Bridge) with him. Pretty damn solid -- Ozzy played for well over 2 hours. Kept screwing with security staff by spraying them with his foam cannon.

Big fan. Haven't seen him since I went to Ozzfest in 2000 and 2001 though. Man those were good days: Ozzy, Pantera, Godsmack, Black Label, Marylin Manson, Linkin Park, Drowning Pool, Disturbed.

Cheap too
