I was always amazed by his father's ability to sign over the guitar riff, note-for-note on every Sabbath song

What's the British slang term for trailer trash?

I seem to recall one of his daughters refusing to take part in it. She's perhaps the only one with class among them.

He forgot the subtitle for the movie: "but he raised a couple".

to be fair, he was on a giant amount of pills and the man loved to drink. But then again, I'm sure he was having fun

it's like Ozzie wrote that headline, too

Yes, Jack, but he was acting that way for the camera. No one to blame but Ozzy himself.

Ozzy is not an idiot, but he admitted that he was hammered for most of the shows run.

Agreed.

He did have two very stupid and ugly kids.

Who's his dad then?

Never saw the show but Ozzy has penned some good songs and always employed good backing players. This song still seems relevant.

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah!

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgment day comes, yeah!

Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!

While Jack Osbourne is an tool on the level of Carson Daly, he does have a point. Sharon has paraded Ozzy around as a burned out buffoon so long that any credibility or good will he may have had is long gone. He could release Blizzard of Ozz Part II and no on would care at this point.

I guess some people find degradation funny (Howard Stern has built a large part of his career on it), but Ozzy has a legitimate place in rock history, and that's been permanently tarnished.

I always assumed Ozzy was completely smashed through out most of the show. He did exhibit some signs of ALOT of past drug use ( his response time in conversations had alot of lag ). So I don't think my view of him has changed. He is a totally different person on stage. Now, I just know he is a terrible father. Except for that one kid who refused to be on the show. But I take that more of embarrassment, than personal smarts.

I figured the way Ozzy came across on the show was simply a character - he wasn't letting the camera see anything real, since reality shows aren't about reality. Tack on the fact that the damn things are edited to show the worst and you get what appears to be rock star trailer trash.

As for the kids, they were born to "late life" parents and dad spent a good portion of their childhoods on tour. This leads to over-indulged children. My parents were late-life parents (36 and 34 when I was born) and I was allowed to get away with murder as far as dad was concerned (my older sister was mom's little princess). Keys to daddy's new truck, souped up 69 Camaro, house to myself on weekends. Only rule: Don't do anything he couldn't throw bail on. Yeah, this can make for farked up teenager.

Sorry Jack..he IS an idiot. I've literally seen your father yell at the sea trying to talking it into stopping the waves from quenching his fire. THAT is idiocy. You will just have to console yourself with the fact that you are the son of a very rich idiot.

...because MTV completely edited out the parts where they sat around and discussed literature and current events, did volunteer work, pursued an education....right....

It's probably not as exagerrated as you make it, but think about it. It IS MTV. They edit all of their shows to fit a mold. Out of countless hours of footage, they're going to go with what's controversial. Not saying that Ozzy is a Rhodes scholar, but if his son thinks enough of him to film a movie about him, then perhaps there's something we've all missed behind his drug-induced rantings.

You're joking, right?

At least he had two different uses of the word, and was using it as a homophone, as opposed to "lyricists" who can't be bothered to find another word that rhymes with man.

It's an irrelevant arguement, as it was Black Sabbath bass player Geezer Butler who wrote those words. Ozzy only sang them.

I love Ozzy as a member of Black Sabbath but his solo music career I could care less about...(even though I've seen his solo band in concert seven times!)

Ha! I didn't even see that. My apologies. You beat me to it by a mile.

That headline is missing the word 'was' between "The Osbournes" and 'discredited'. Nah, screw that. The whole headline needs an overhaul (including the subject).

/My brain
//It hurts

Watch the Osbournes, then watch Gene Simmons: Family Jewels. The difference in the caliber of children is staggering.

According to his son, Ozzy is severely dyslexic. Then how does he read the teleprompter lyrics he uses at live shows?

From watching Snatch, I'd guess "Goddamn Pikeys!"

dougfm: According to his son, Ozzy is severely dyslexic. Then how does he read the teleprompter lyrics he uses at live shows?

Maybe they pre-scramble the words for him so when he reads them, they come out right.

Ozzy has always been pretty far out there. A little while ago, someone posted a link to War Pigs from the infamous Paris 1970 show. Ozzy was pretty much making up the lyrics as he went along.

Ozzy was past his prime more than a decade ago. The entire family is a waste of oxygen, especially Sharon, who pimped the show as hard as she could. When you're slapped down by Paris Hilton, you know you've hit rock bottom.

Slow your role there, Johnny... They got paid millions. ALL of them are stars now, because of the show, and Ozzie himself was brought back out of obscurity.

Jack Osbourne is getting the best of both worlds... THe money and fame from MTV, and now he'll paint his own picture...

bmr68: Ozzy is not an idiot, but he admitted that he was hammered for most of the shows run.

Then he IS an idiot.

Watching blood stained windows
He must just love the pane (pain)

Ouch. I just watched it. I wonder if he was still iffy on the lyrics. Wouldn't be the first one where he was in the middle of a lyric shuffle. He sounded great, but confused at times. And that live sound...Iomi just doesn't sound the same on new equipment. Everything today is made to handle high volumes in a controlled manner. Back then, you were punishing your amp to get that sound.
