Saw this interview, basically got this:

>be some brit with no college or fancy education
>hop around low level jobs
>"hey do you wanna be in our band?"
>join bc fuck it, factory work sucks
>hang out with friends and make cool shit
>your friends are actually talented
>get carried through life by talented people
>hang out with friends, do all kinds of drugs, and travel around for a living
>all you have to do is jump around and sing after you've had vodka bottles before shows
>get married to someone who changes your diapers and takes care of you for everything

Life was really that easy, huh

>>127153478 (OP)
>easy
can you sing?

you don't hear about the millions who tried to do the same and failed

>>127153494
Ozzy isn't even a great technical singer though, he just has a distinctive style.

>>127153478 (OP)
He had a successful solo career that matched that of his band. Literally nobody accomplishes that.

Yeah, basically he got the job only because he had a microphone.

Why did he have such a distinctive voice?

>>127153500
Technical singers suck. Its about the power and the soul and the feeling behind it

>>127153601
Reddit is so fucking gay. Worse than twitter

>>127153494
come on, man; Ozzy wasn't a great singer

>>127153601
pro-pallies demonstrating as usual that they're genuinely deranged psycho/sociopaths

>>127153601
isn't his wife Palestinian?

>>127153659
>Technical singers suck
you don't know what technical means in the context of singing, so just stop bro

>>127153478 (OP)
At least he sang. not like the maracas muppet from Happy mondays.

>>127153683
Nope.
Her mother was Irish, and her father was Jewish

>>127153601
doubt ozzy even cared about wars, with him being as loopy as he was. it must be sharon osbourne, who´s jewish.

>>127153601
This is why I left the pro-Palestine movement.

>>127153478 (OP)
Many iconic singers did not write music or play an instrument. Being a front man is about inspiring your audience to let loose and lose their inhibitions and sing what you're singing, and move their bodies having fun. It's harder than it looks.

>>127153601
Nice of reddit to become more anti jew, but I doubt ozzy had any thoughts on anything at all

>>127153860
I still think Israel are fucking maniacs but some of the pro Palestine people's brains have been kinda broken. I saw one guy say that the AIPAC tracker is a "liberal zionist genocidal" project

>>127153478 (OP)
It helps having an incredibly unique voice and knowing how to use it. No substitute for it. pic related

>>127153601
>a staunch pro-Israel Zionist
How many times did he ever say shit about politics ever outside of vague anti-establishment song lyrics? He has performed in Israel. He also performed in America many times during the Iraq war when we were killing civilians and further de-stabilizing the region.
>who publicly supported the IOF
I doubt the letters "IDF" have left his mouth ever in his entire life
>and backed censorship of Palestinian voices
That letter about the BBC being too pro-Palestine? Isn't that from this year, the same year he died of Parkinson's and couldn't even stand up on stage? No way Sharon didn't sign that for him.
Tel Aviv can be flattened for all I care but come the fuck on

>>127153601
Ozzy never even commented on the conflict, where did they take this from? Knowing him he's always been 100% anti war

>>127153478 (OP)
>Life was really that easy
yeah for him it was. i dont know about him but sharon obviously had ambition and drive she molded him and cultivated his image and gimmick for the last 45 years. she hired his band for him and forced them to sign over rights to ozzy even though they wrote all the songs. she created ozzfest. the list goes on and on. ozzy was basically a puppet.

>>127153601
You know, short of being a pedo or something, I couldn't give a fuck what politics a person has if their music is good. Oh no, Thom Yorke has a belief I might disagree with. Oh no, my favorite musician might not give a fuck about politics, they're not an outspoken activist, they just make good music and that's it. Rest in Peace Ozzy boy.

>>127154330
>they're not an outspoken activist
You can say that about Ozzy but Thom Yorke definitely made himself political.

>>127153506
Its kind of misleading to call it a "solo career" when he was carried by Randy Rhoads and Bob Daisley who wrote the majority of the music for him

>>127154156
His wife signed some retarded letter with other celebrities urging the BBC to be even more pro-Israel, and signed his name on it too. And these Redditors are infuriated that he spent his last years more worried about treating his Parkinson's than daring to publicly go against his notorious bitch wife on Israel

>>127154398
This.
>I can't believe people expect Thom Yorke to say something about Palestine!

>>127153478 (OP)
Life was one big party until about 2012. There were no problems. Look at all the icons dropping dead now. That wasn't happening back then.

>>127154398
Do artists not have a right to an opinion? Sure, if Taylor Swift or Drake decide to embrace nazism then it would make sense if it alienated their fanbase, they lost deals and brand sponsorships, and if people were to say "fuck taylor, fuck drake, I can't listen to their music anymore", disagree with them and their opinion, but I don't see how you can expect your favorite artist, who you don't personally know btw, to agree with everything you agree with. "NOOOO, THEY HAVE TO BELIEVE EVERYTHING I BELIEVE IN. ONLY MY OPINIONS ARE RIGHT AND EVERYONE ELSE'S ARE WRONG. YOU'RE LITERALLY THE WORST PERSON ON DA PLANET FOR DISAGREEING WITH ME".
A grown adult who pays taxes, has kids, has responsibilities might have a few political opinions? This is news?
An old geezer might have a few ideas and opinions I don't personally agree with? Idgaf if he supports israel or palestine, the music is good

>>127153601
only redditors still can't figure out it's sharon behind every single pr stunt, Jesus Christ what a bunch of idiots

>>127153659
I don't disagree with you. My point still remains however.

>>127153601
doubt it's him

>>127154940

>>127154978
based

>>127153478 (OP)
>be Ozzy
>be talentless hack, carried by talented bandmates
>leave Black Sabbath and go solo
>have similar resounding success solo
>meanwhile Black Sabbath becomes unremarkable and never makes another record anyone gives a shit about
man he was just so lucky

>>127153478 (OP)
didnt he get to join Sabbath cause he happened to have a PA system or something?

>>127154978
No winners in that fight

Geezer meeting Ozzy is a classic
https://youtu.be/rJ_0Jw0i_kA?t=30

>>127154978
But its ok to bite the heads off doves?

it's funny seeing plebs still getting filtered by ozzy and why he was so successful. there's a reason he spawned so many imitators.

>>127153737
>doubt ozzy even cared about wars
you can't be serious bro

>>127155034
>meanwhile Black Sabbath becomes unremarkable and never makes another record anyone gives a shit about
Um Heaven & Hell?? Mob Rules???

>>127153500
he is a very good singer, his voice sounds weird which makes it sound he's not a professional singer but he's great

>>127153478 (OP)
he had charisma and gave his all to every performance.

>>127153500
He sings very well on The Writ.

>>127153478 (OP)
Ozzy had an amazing unique singing voice though, he made Black Sabbath

>>127153478 (OP)
He wrote the vocal melodies. That's incredibly important.

>>127153478 (OP)
This is true for almost every british lead singer ever. Band do all the grunt work while the giant ham flails around upfront screeching 'look at meeeeeee! I'm an attention whore!!!!!'

>>127153601
based, we love Israel here
