RIP Ozzy Osbourne

[Dan Murphy]

I was a bit too old to 'appreciate' heavy metal. Not my cup of tea. But that genre of music was very in vogue when Vince was in his late teens, early 20's and still at home. And he played it in his bedroom. Too loud. I called his heavy metal stuff, his 'angry music'. All (most) of the songs sounded like everybody was screaming and angry. Still sounds that way to me. And I think he still listens to that kind, I'll hear it sometimes at his house.

Anyway, I never followed or listened to Ozzy, but do know of him. I never watched his 'reality' show. But may he now rest in peace. A tough life I guess.

I find it so amazing how so many musicians were so heavy into drugs, like Ozzy and Keith Richards plus many others have manage to live as long they did and have. I don't know if he had a tough life or not, but I doubt he remembered most of it. Anyway, RIP Ozzy and condolences to his family.

Heavy Metal is coming back in new ways, mostly from other countries who are re-defining the genre.

I'm a huge fan of Babymetal, Japanese J-pop mixed with Heavy Metal, Bloodywood, Indian Folk Metal with great positive messages, Electric Callboy, silly German metal...lots of others.

They're much different than the old heavy metal sound we were used to, but Ozzy and Black Sabbath started it all, much respect and RIP.

Never was a big fan of his or even his family. But may he RIP!
