I'm glad too! I wonder if he had a feeling about his near future.

I saw Black Sabbath sometime in 1977 I think...or late 1976 maybe, at the Boston Garden. Opening act was Kiss. At the time this seemed "normal", but looking back, that was quite an event.

I'll have to put on some Black Sabbath tonight.

War Pigs on as I type. Thanks, Ozzie!

I was never much a Metal fan but I did like some Black Sabbath. My favorite Ozzy song was Crazy Train.

Sorry to hear this, he put out some great music in his time.

Paranoid, Master of Reality and Volume 4 are in my player tonight.

Personally I never cared for his work but I know many that did, not just a little bit either. Godspeed Ozzy.

Wow, this is the first I am hearing of this. Grew up listening to Ozzy and loved all his music. Gonna have to listen to some Ozzy now. RIP. Those were the days with Ozzy, Metallica, ZZTop, Iron Maiden, etc!

RIP Ozzy. 1980, I was at Coronado doing some training. We saw Steppenwolf at the Gator club, and Black Sabbath was going to play in San Diego. We made plans to go, and had gotten called out so we missed it. Never did get to see them or Ozzy solo.

Ozzy Osbourne, Randy Rhodes reunion.

The 1987 Randy Rhodes Tribute album is arguable one of my favorite albums of all time.

Classic Ozzy

Yeah, the Rock Hall of Fame is getting more populated the older we get.
Godspeed Ozzy. Loved Sabbath and your solo songs.

^^^ Thanks for that!

RazörFist did a great tribute to Ozzy last night.

^^^ Will check that out!

Henry Rollins on Ozzy and Black Sabbath back in 98.

I saw him in around 1999 I think it was at OzzFest here in ATL. Was a good show.

Yesterday, British rock star Ozzy Osbourne passed away at the age of 76.

Here in Texas, we remember him for a particular incident which is emblematic of our state. The excellent history X account Traces of Texas describes it.

In 1982, while thoroughly intoxicated, Osbourne urinated on the Cenotaph, a monument to the Alamo martyrs which stands in front of the old chapel. He was arrested and, after his performance the following night, banned from performing in San Antonio for a decade.

Osbourne returned in 1992, profusely apologized for his act of defilement, donated $10,000 to the Daughters of the Republic of Texas (which maintains the site), and performed for two nights.

David Crockett famously said, "You can all go to hell and I'll go to Texas," before leaving Tennessee on his final journey into glory. Texas is a home of second chances and starting over. Ozzy Osbourne received his second chance and redemption for an impulsive act just a few yards from where Crockett fell. The official Instagram account for the Alamo mourns his passing with respect and kindness.

I wasn't into HM music growing up during the 80s, but really grown to appreciate it when I picked up the guitar. Black Sabbath and Ozzy are the godfathers of HM. RIP ol school. You're home.
