RIP Ozzie Osbourne - part 2

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Madmen, sorcerers, poets. Are you ready to taste the demon toast? [00:00:52] Speaker B: Thank you. [00:00:52] Speaker A: It's so great. It's so bright where you are. Anyway, yeah. Hey, welcome back to Demon Toast, the podcast for of Death Wish Poetry magazine where we talk about gothic and horrific literature and the incredible, awesome and definitely not problematic people behind it. This is part two of our little, you know, memorial episode about Ozzy Osbourne. And with me are my two best friends in the world again, Adrian and good old Greg. How you doing, guys? [00:01:19] Speaker B: Peachy keen. You're the only one that knows. [00:01:24] Speaker A: I know things. I know things. Me and my little PO doll, we know things. Yeah, we know. We know what's up. Yeah, just like Ozzy. He knew what was up. So you guys ever watch Ozzy's reality show? [00:01:37] Speaker B: Yes. It came out in high school and it was like a daily thing. Ozzy was always on. I used to watch it with my dragons friends and we would shout Sharon at each other. And I actually recently accidentally clicked on because it's showing on, I believe, Tubi right now. They have the whole series. And it was when he was trying to find the fucking cat. [00:02:01] Speaker A: It's one of those, like, sad parts of American culture, you know, these fucking reality shows. I know Bozzy's British, American TV networks were doing a lot of this. This dumb shit. Gene Simmons had one. Hulk Hogan. Oh, the Hulkster, The Hulk Hogan had one. You know, all these terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible shows. Yeah. And obviously Ozzy has died. Last episode we talked about, you know, our first memories of Ozzy and Sabbath, our favorite songs. This episode, we want to talk a little bit more about his pop cultural footprint. He is a celebrity, after all, and you can't talk about that without talking about the stupid reality show. So. You know, Adrian, considering my memory is garbage, you probably have something to say. Was the Osbornes better or worse than Hogan Knows Best? [00:02:48] Speaker B: It was so much better. I only watched a very few episodes of Hogan Knows Best or whatever, and it was not. It was not the same. Like, I'm serious, we watched it every day. It was on. Whether we were actually paying attention to it or not was a whole other story. But, like, the Osbournes were part of whatever Brother. My high school life. [00:03:13] Speaker A: You think you know reality TV brother. Yeah, listen, you know, that's Hulked out. A true American is going to kick your ass if you say one more bad thing about Hogano's best brother, because. [00:03:23] Speaker B: That was the one. [00:03:25] Speaker A: Well, there was Gene Simmons family jewels. [00:03:27] Speaker B: I mean, I didn't watch that either. [00:03:30] Speaker A: I didn't watch any of these dumb. So I did watch a little of the Osbornes because I liked Ozzy, you know, and gosh, I must have been 11 at the time. And I just remember he. Sharon asked her daughter. Her daughter Kelly. [00:03:43] Speaker B: Is her name Kelly? [00:03:44] Speaker A: Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, Kelly Osborne. It's like, kelly, did you walk the dog? And Kelly just screams from the other room. And, like, I saw Ozzy, like, standing by the counter going, oh, just walk the walking dog. What are you doing? And he was, like, all scrawny. You know what? It's like, I'm gonna flash it up here. There's an episode of space ghost coast to coast where space ghost's dad comes out, and it's a little shriveled up space ghost, but he's voiced by macho man, Randy Savage. And he's like, oh, yeah, space ghost. What you gonna do? You know? And that's kind of what Ozzy looked like. Like, you look terrible. [00:04:16] Speaker B: Well, it was more like he was a cartoon character instead of an actual person in the show. Like, I know a lot of it was, you know, for TV consumption. And so they made it a little over the top and ridiculous, I will say. Like, those poor kids, man. Like, everyone was mean to the kids. I mean, they were kind of jerks. But, like, Jack got treated so horribly in that show. It was crazy. [00:04:41] Speaker A: You guys ever hear. I think. You ever hear Kelly Osbourne's song? [00:04:44] Speaker C: No, I heard it was bad. I don't think I've heard it, actually. [00:04:49] Speaker A: It's called dig me out. I don't know. I liked it. I liked it. How old was I when this came out? I was 16 years old. So I was at the right age to think Kelly Osbourne was cute. [00:04:59] Speaker B: See what? She is cute. Like, Kelly Osbourne is cute, and she's kind of become like a fashion icon. As someone who works in the fashion industry, I will say, like, she has. [00:05:10] Speaker A: A picture of her right here. [00:05:11] Speaker B: Yeah, she's definitely got her. Like, she has a whole vibe. It's a thing. [00:05:17] Speaker C: I have to listen to it. I just. I was kind of joking when I heard Said. I heard it was bad. I have heard it was bad, but I. I want to listen to it, give it a try. I don't really know what it sounds like, actually. [00:05:29] Speaker A: It's just a rock. It's just a rock and roll song. [00:05:31] Speaker B: I'm gonna have to listen to it too, because I haven't heard it because I was past the point of being the right age. I think I was living in Marfa at that time. And so my media consumption was very shut off at that particular point. [00:05:47] Speaker A: Yeah, you were like, you're like 80, right? [00:05:50] Speaker B: Dude, I'm gonna be in my prime when I'm 80s. I don't know what you're talking about. [00:05:55] Speaker C: I could see it, Adrian. [00:05:58] Speaker B: I'm getting Maud from Harold Maude when I'm in my 80s, you know, it. [00:06:01] Speaker A: Might be because I'm Jewish, but, like, I think my prime was a long fucking time ago. I might be in my 30s, but I don't feel like I'm in my. [00:06:10] Speaker B: Yeah, you haven't peaked yet. I promise. [00:06:13] Speaker C: My. My prime was probably like 19 or 20 or something. [00:06:17] Speaker A: So the real question is, when was Ozzy in his prime? [00:06:22] Speaker B: Yeah, always been in his prime. Guys, I'm gonna tell you, like, this guy, like, as far as, like, the movies, like, he did a whole bunch of kid friendly movies. Like, you know, he was in Trolls, which I thought was. It was the second Trolls movie. And my kids loved that movie. And it was. [00:06:44] Speaker A: I didn't watch that. Okay. [00:06:46] Speaker B: Yeah, it was really like. That was for people, like, for the moms of the kids that were watching these movies. You know what I mean? It was like, here's something for the adults that know what's up, because you have to sit here and watch these ridiculous child movies. And then there's Ozzy, and it's like, okay, rock and roll. Like, okay, I can handle this. There's Ozzy. But like, the last movie he did was a horror movie. And, dude, he was the creepiest part. And the movie's creepy. It's actually really good. [00:07:21] Speaker A: Yeah, it was Ghostbusters 2016, right? [00:07:24] Speaker B: He was in Ghostbusters 2016. But this is after. It was. We need to do. [00:07:29] Speaker A: I mean, that was a creepy. That was a creepy horror movie. [00:07:33] Speaker B: I'm smiling at you. Do you see this? I'm just gonna smile and I'll just nod at you. [00:07:38] Speaker A: It's okay. Fave, folks. [00:07:40] Speaker B: I know. So. No, but we need to do something is actually, like, fabulous. And. And he's a demonic dog. And he starts talking at the end and he only has like two lines, but when he starts talking, it's like, actually terrifying. And the fact that it's Ozzy's voice is like, so flipping cool. And being from Texas, the guy that wrote the movie is from Austin. And it was probably like. It came out in 2021, and it was one of the coolest movies I saw that year. And partially because it had Ozzy as a demonic dog, which is, you know, Bark at the moon. [00:08:21] Speaker A: Well, thanks for asking. That's a really great point. That's a really great bit of trivia. I wanted to ask, what kind of dog is he? Is he a Doberman? Is he a German shepherd? What is he? [00:08:29] Speaker B: Shepherd? Yeah. [00:08:31] Speaker A: Okay. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah. Something mean, incidentally. My father had. Sorry, go ahead. [00:08:37] Speaker B: Oh, it's like a demon German shepherd. It's like he's not like a dog dog. Like, he's like, legit terrifying. [00:08:44] Speaker A: So, you know, my father has a German shepherd named Lucifer who lives up to that name. He's very mean. He's very terrifying. He's a huge black German shepherd that growls and snarls and will tear you to shreds if you get too close to my dad. So my dad keeps him out of sight when I'm over because, you know, he likes having me around. So, yeah, possibly. My father's dog is also Ozzy Osbourne. [00:09:08] Speaker B: You know, could be. Could be. Man. I highly suggest you watch this movie. I think it's streaming on Hulu. That's where I saw. [00:09:16] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll check it out after this episode, most likely. [00:09:18] Speaker B: Yeah, it might be on Tubi now, actually. [00:09:20] Speaker A: Good old Tubby. Yeah, my mother. My mother called it Tubby because she can't read. [00:09:26] Speaker B: You know, Lindy Tubby. Sorry. [00:09:29] Speaker A: Yeah. You know, Ozzy Osbourne is not in the movie Idle Hands, the smash hit classic, but he should have been an idle hand. [00:09:36] Speaker B: He should have been in Idle Hands. That is one of like, the literally, like, you want to talk about, like, 90s horror comedy schlock. That was the king when I was a kid. Oh, my God. I was. I was in high school when that movie came out. And Jessica Alba and Devin Sawa freaking killed that. And I will tell you that Foggy Nelson from Daredevil is in that show. [00:10:03] Speaker A: So I have a question. And this bothered me because I'm a giant edgelord, and I like things to be like, you know, a certain way. Right. You know, I gravitated towards Cradle of Filth and Marilyn Manson because they were transgressive. They were very into, like, exploring occult themes and revolutionary themes. Right. Like, kind of, like talking about, like, our culture and its shortcomings and, you know, ways to break out of that kind of mold. And, you know, like, I've always been really into stuff like that. You know, like, when it comes to classic musicians, it was always Bowie because Bowie also typified that kind of rebel rock star kind of, you know, wise man aesthetic. [00:10:45] Speaker B: Jimmy Hendrix. [00:10:47] Speaker A: Absolutely. No, Bowie's my Hero. Ozzy, though. Ozzy, I always felt like, was a little closer to. And I'm gonna get in trouble for this, and I don't care, because this is, this is, this is how I. This is what I think, and this is true. But Ozzy was a little closer to Alice Cooper, right? [00:11:06] Speaker B: I like Alice Cooper. Okay. I know it's that same horror rock kind of thing, but you know what I mean. Right, Exactly. I mean, it's an aesthetic. Did stuff with Vincent Price. Like, it was like a whole thing. [00:11:21] Speaker A: So, Greg, feel free to weigh in, but what I'm trying to say is Ozzy's like, I'm the Prince of Darkness, you know, and he's wearing the black eyeliner and, you know, he's singing about whatever. But, like, when you look at his lyrics like that, that big song on 13, the big single, God is Dead, I was so excited for it. And then I saw that the title was actually God is Dead with a question mark. [00:11:42] Speaker C: Right, Yeah, I remember that. [00:11:45] Speaker A: And, like, you know, he has on. I don't want to stop. He says, like, too many religions. There's only one God. I don't need another savior. And I'm like. And I mean, look, Ozzy's a Christian. I mean, you know, nothing wrong with that. [00:11:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I, I, I totally agree with where you're going there, Dan. It's a big misnomer, actually, with all Black Sabbath. They're not Satanists. [00:12:07] Speaker A: No, no. [00:12:08] Speaker C: And, like, you can see Tony Iommi himself. He wears a cross. I don't. I think that's more. He likes it as a necklace than he's like. [00:12:18] Speaker A: It's a great aesthetic God. [00:12:20] Speaker C: But yeah, I, I agree with what you're saying. I think Ozzy, to some form, is traditionally a Christian. Now, does he tea or what? But none of us really do. I mean, if you want to get deep into the religious aspect, we're all sinners, right? So, I mean, everybody on Earth. But yeah, I don't think he's worshiping multiple gods or a Satanist or anything like that. I think traditionally he's a Christian. [00:12:47] Speaker B: I think that Ozzy is an actor, like, on stage. Like, he's a musician, but he's playing a role. And also with his sobriety. Part of, like, if you're doing the whole AA thing, finding a power higher than you, and, like, they usually lean towards Christianity and stuff like that. And it probably kept him from, like, really going off that crazy train, you know what I mean? [00:13:18] Speaker C: I like the play on words there. [00:13:20] Speaker B: I did that on Purpose. But seriously, like, that was, like, a thing. I mean, he almost killed his wife. Like, it was a whole thing. And then he decided to, you know, change his evil ways type thing. He was being. He was being theatrical, like, always on stage. Like, he's playing a part he's not. It's like when Bowie. If you want to. If you want to go, there was Ziggy Stardust. That wasn't David Bowie. He was making a Persona. And Ozzy Osbourne was the Prince of Darkness. And I don't begrudge him that at all. It was entirely enjoyable. But if you're looking for, like, Ruth in that, I think you have to find it for yourself in the music, instead of looking for how he felt about things. [00:14:08] Speaker C: Yes, I agree completely. I think he was an actor. A lot of this was an act. And I. I see what you mean by. By the way, I do have to ask you, was that another play on words? Were you giving a nod to Santana there? Change your evil ways. I love it. [00:14:27] Speaker B: You're making me feel smart. And that doesn't happen often, so thank you, Adrian. [00:14:32] Speaker A: Adrian, you're brilliant. Don't. Don't. Don't degrade yourself like that. No, I don't know. I think there's definitely something to that, right? It's like. Because obviously he's an actor. He's a very good actor, too. I mean, you know, he's. He had a fucking career, like, all the way. When did. When did scream come out? 2012. I mean, he was releasing music, like, consistently up until that point. And then, like, he had a Persona. We all knew who he was, like. And he did a lot of goofy shit over the years. Like, there was a. There was a World of Warcraft commercial where the Lich King is like, I am the Lich King. And then Ozzy Osbourne steps over, goes, I've been the Prince of darkness since 1983. And I'll have, you know. And the Lich King, like, takes his sword and freezes him, and he goes. [00:15:17] Speaker B: Sharon, you know the funniest. Oh, my God. That was, like, one of the best commercials I had ever seen at that point. It was. [00:15:23] Speaker A: It's cool. Yeah. No, it's funny. And it doesn't ruin Ozzy because, you know, it plays into his image. It's stupid as. Right? He's not like Marilyn Manson, where, like, he wants you to believe that he is this horrific monster. And, you know, obviously he's horrific in other ways. But, I mean, like, what I'm trying to say is that Ozzy is kind of squeaky clean like that. You know, it's. It's right. It's like gore. [00:15:47] Speaker B: There's something beautiful about an artist who is willing and can make fun of themselves and doesn't take themselves too seriously. It's like, yeah, I'm this. And yes, we can all laugh about it. Like, here you go, guys. Like, this is. This is it. [00:16:05] Speaker A: I do think Ozzy is a Christian, though. I. I know it's not a big deal. I'm famously not a Christian. An atheist. Right. Well, so, like, you know, the bridge to God is dead is, you know, do you believe a word what the good book said, or is it just a holy fairy tale and God is dead? God is dead. God is dead. Right? God is dead. Right, question mark. And then, you know, there are still voices in my head telling me God is dead. But I don't believe God is dead. Right? And I feel like 13. Ozzy's got nothing to hide. And he's referenced like, you know, religion all throughout his career. I mean, again, I don't to stop too many religions. There's only one God I don't need. You know, it just. I don't know, it's one of those things. And I guess it's not that big a deal, but it's just one of those things where Ozzy, to me, is not that transgressive. Right. Like, his songs like Bark at the Moon, it's just werewolves. You know what I mean? I'm aware, but I'm just trying to say that, like, that is a very common trope for, like, a metal artist to play into vampires, Werewolves. [00:17:07] Speaker B: It's a fantasy. He's playing to a fantasy. [00:17:11] Speaker A: Exactly. And that's my thing. It's like, you know, there's difference between, like, there's a big difference between a band like Behemoth that has this, like, extremely dark, demonic sound and aesthetic, you know, and you. When you put. Put on a Behemoth album, you're transported into a dark fucking world of, like, horrific nightmares. And, like, you know, do you listen to an Ozzy or a. An Alice Cooper album? You're having fun. It's music. And like, there is. There is. There is, like, reality to it. There is beauty to it, but it is a fantasy, right? It's a less intense fantasy than Behemoth or, you know, I don't know, whatever Sleep Token is peddling. [00:17:59] Speaker B: It's great D and D music. [00:18:01] Speaker A: It is. Yeah, absolutely. I agree. D, O and Sabbath, they go together. Like, you know, he's in Care. Yeah, I fucking agree. You know, like Batman and Robin. I mean, I know Greg really hates the Dio, and we're not here to talk about Sabbath, right? But that was Sabbath's pivot. After they lost Ozzy, they were like, well, we threw out the. Let the living legends. We're living legends. We're Sabbath, right? Let's grab Dio. He's a living legend. And it's not as good as the Rainbow music. It's not as good as the Dio. I don't know. Let's. Let's do a tiny, tiny section on the DO years of Sabbath. [00:18:38] Speaker C: Greg, I love Dio. Like I said, Ronnie Dio is the man in his own band. But, like, to me, it just didn't work as well with Dio as it did with Ozzy. And there. This isn't a slight at Dio because, like, I'll give you another example where I don't think it worked as well. Well, Guns N Roses going from Slash to Buckethead. Buckethead is a much better guitar player than Slash. There's no. No Questions Asked, but total, totally different styles of guitar. Like, Buckethead's a virtuoso. He's a highly technical player. Slash is more like play with feel. He does a lot of slow bends, uses a lot of vibrato. He can shred, too, don't get me wrong. But, like, it's just. It's a different level of shred from Buckethead to Slap. I mean, I don't really care that much for the song Night Train by Guns and Roses, but there's like this side by side comparison, Slash is playing the solo, and I. I don't really care for it that much. The solo that. I mean, it's good, but it's not like. But when Buckethead plays it, it's. It's amazing. But at the same time, it felt like it was too much for that song, if that makes any sense at all. [00:20:00] Speaker A: Sure. [00:20:02] Speaker C: I think, okay, that I might get some eggs thrown at me. I think technically Ronnie Dio is a more talented singer than Ozzy, but it just doesn't. It, like, it's too much for Black Sabbath. It's too. It. It doesn't fit their style as well to me. So, yeah, I like. And you can see it in sports, too. Like, they build these super teams. Do they always win the super bowl or, like the championship? No, because it's all about chemistry, too. There was a lot of great chemistry with Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath, now Tony Iommi. Ozzy was convinced that Tony Iommi was, like, always out to get him and all this. And, yeah, I think there's some truth in that. But overall, they were just such a cohesive unit. Like, they were such a great four piece, similar to other great four pieces like Led Zeppelin. They fit perfectly together. And then I might get more hate here, too. Probably technically more talented musicians than Black Sabbath, technically speaking, based on the difficulty of music they played and the range of styles that they could play play. Obviously the range of notes that Robert Plant could hit compared to Ozzy Osbourne. But there was chemistry there, too. But Black Sabbath, just great chemistry. Very good musicians. But what really put them over the top was the chemistry the four of them have. And then when you swap out Ozzy and you go with Ronnie Dio, you technically might be going up more in the talent department, but you're losing a lot in terms of the chemistry there, I think. [00:21:49] Speaker A: Well, okay, that's fair. What do you think about Tony Martin and his tenure as singer of Flex Lap? [00:21:56] Speaker C: Well, that's even worse. [00:21:57] Speaker A: I asked that facetiously. Adrian, what'd you want to. What you want to say? [00:22:01] Speaker B: Well, I was just gonna tell Greg that he's absolutely right. Like, Ronnie James Dio, like, is. I'm gonna agree with you. I think he was too good for Black Sabbath. Like, it was just on a different level, and it didn't. It didn't go together well. [00:22:19] Speaker A: Yeah. Rainbow in the Dark is another depression song. I used to blast that. [00:22:22] Speaker C: Yeah, I love that song. That's one of my favorite. [00:22:25] Speaker A: Oh, great. You know Corey Taylor from Slipknot? He actually has a cover of that song. That's phenomenal. It's really. [00:22:31] Speaker B: You should put it on the playlist. [00:22:33] Speaker A: All right, I'll throw it on there. It's not Ozzy, but who cares? [00:22:35] Speaker B: No, but since we're talking about it. [00:22:38] Speaker A: Since we're talking about it, I got. [00:22:40] Speaker C: One to throw on, too, if it's cool. It's. I think Avenge Sevenfold did a great cover of Paranoid. [00:22:47] Speaker B: I think you're right, actually. It's not horrible. [00:22:50] Speaker A: See if it's on Spotify. Yeah, I love covers, too. Cradle of Filth. Did you guys listen to the COVID I sent you of Mr. Crowley? [00:22:59] Speaker B: It's fantastic. [00:23:00] Speaker A: Isn't it great? [00:23:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:02] Speaker A: Did you listen to it? [00:23:04] Speaker C: I didn't. I didn't hear any of those covers, but, yeah, I want to hear what Adrian thinks. [00:23:08] Speaker B: I think Cradle of Filth's cover was phenomenal, actually, and it was on my playlist for a very long time. Like for years. So. Yes. [00:23:19] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Rainbow in the Dark. Let's see if it's even on Spotify. [00:23:22] Speaker B: Well, there's the DL Holy Diver stuck in my head now I'm like, Holy Diver. I can't stop myself. It's terrible. [00:23:30] Speaker A: Did you know that it was written about Boba Fett? [00:23:35] Speaker B: Of course it was. I love DS so much. [00:23:37] Speaker C: I think I've heard that actually. That's insane. [00:23:40] Speaker A: I know. Crazy stuff, but no. Yeah. Kill Switch. Alright. We're not talking about deer, so. Yeah. Did you guys listen to the Puddles pity Party cover of War Pigs with the piano? [00:23:51] Speaker C: Not yet. [00:23:52] Speaker A: All right, all right, all right. [00:23:54] Speaker B: Well, but now you're gonna have to. [00:23:57] Speaker A: Huh? [00:23:58] Speaker B: Now you're gonna have to put it on the playlist. [00:24:00] Speaker A: I don't know if Puddles is on Spotify. He's kind of. He's an independent artist. He's a clown who sings beautifully. [00:24:09] Speaker B: Well, that sounds like. I mean, don't give me another obsession, because it could happen. Everyone's on Spotify. [00:24:15] Speaker A: Well, not everyone. All right. I mean. All right, anyway, we're on Spotify. Yeah. So, you know, one of my favorite. Actually, it's not. It's not a cover, but. What? So Mona Marth, they're one of my favorite Thor metal bands, right? They write songs about Vikings and Odin and Thor and Norse mythology, right? All that good stuff. So they. They did a bonus. I think it was a bonus CD on Destroyer of the Universe. It was either that or it was Deceiver of the Gods. It was one of those. But they had one song that sounded like acdc. They had one song that sounded like Slayer, I think. I can't remember. It's. It's been a while. I don't listen to it that often. But one song that sounded like Motorrad and one song that sounded like Sabbath. And like what they were doing is they were showing their actual range because people say they just. They just know how to write songs about Vikings and do the. The death metal thing, you know? So they. They're like, here's this. And Satan, right? Satan Rising. And like the singer who sounds. He prides himself on having a deep, guttural voice and sounding. Being able to roar like Thor, as he says, right? Johan Hegg, very, very good singer. He gets his voice down. It sounds like Ozzy. I don't know how the fuck he did it, but. Satan Rising. I'll put that on the playlist too. It's fucking great, you know. Greg, do you have any covers that you like of Ozzy or Sabbath songs? There's a lot of War Pigs covers. [00:25:36] Speaker C: But, you know, I mentioned the Paranoid song. [00:25:39] Speaker A: I know, yeah, yeah. [00:25:41] Speaker C: I. I sadly don't know. Let me. Yeah, I'll take a look. But just the Paranoid song really comes to mind. [00:25:49] Speaker A: That's fine. [00:25:49] Speaker C: There. There actually is a band. It's. It's an indie band. I'll look it up and let you know. But, yeah. [00:25:56] Speaker A: Paranoid of. Interesting. [00:25:57] Speaker B: Do any of you guys remember, like, the 80s movie trick or Treat? [00:26:02] Speaker A: I saw a Trick or Treat with, you know, the guy from. [00:26:06] Speaker B: No, this is from the. This is, like, 1986, and it has Ozzy, and I think Lemmy's in it. [00:26:13] Speaker A: Wait, wait, you're talking about the one with the werewolf girls, right? [00:26:17] Speaker B: Wait, no, that's the one from the 90s, and that was Anna Paquin. [00:26:24] Speaker A: It was like the 2000s. [00:26:25] Speaker B: Was it 2000? [00:26:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I was older than 10. [00:26:29] Speaker B: No. [00:26:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Ozzy plays the little guy, the little Sam Hain guy. That's Ozzy, right? [00:26:35] Speaker B: No, it's not. I mean, that would be really cute, especially if he did the. [00:26:40] Speaker A: Ha ha. [00:26:42] Speaker B: That would be awesome. But it was not him. No, wait, wait, wait. [00:26:46] Speaker A: Lemmy's in this movie? That's cool. [00:26:48] Speaker B: Yeah, it's 1986. It's called trick or Treat, Not Trick. Our Treat. Because there's a. Brian. [00:26:57] Speaker A: What you're saying is Brian. Brian Singer directed it, right? [00:26:59] Speaker B: No. I hate you so much sometimes. Like, I love you so much, but, oh, my God, you drive me crazy. [00:27:05] Speaker A: All right, well, now we should watch that. So what. So what does Ozzy do in the movie? Is it like Cradle of Fear where he's just, like, a spooky booky or. [00:27:14] Speaker B: You know, I'm not even gonna tell you. Like, I'm literally. It's free streaming on Tubi. I'm not even gonna tell you. It is worth everything. [00:27:25] Speaker C: To the world. [00:27:26] Speaker B: Like, it's. Honestly, I bet right now on Tubi, it's probably the most highly streamed movie right now since Ozzy just passed away. So if you guys don't know about it, I highly suggest watching trick or treat, 1986. It's the kind of schlock that's, like, once again, you can make a comparison to, like, Alice Cooper in, like, I don't know, suck or whatever. It's phenomenal. And it's the. Is magic. [00:27:59] Speaker A: You know, Alice Cooper had, like, really. [00:28:00] Speaker B: Great golfing skills here in Amarillo, playing golf, like, a year ago. [00:28:05] Speaker A: Didn't Ozzy, like, Get banned from Texas for peeing on the Alamo. [00:28:08] Speaker B: Can I please tell you this story? Because, yes, he did. And they, like, he got banned for 10 years for peeing on the. On the Alamo and also for public intoxication. Tom Waits also on the list of being banned from, like, Austin, I think, actually. But. So he didn't pee on the Alamo, but he peed on the ALAMO. Banned for 10 years. And after he died, they lifted the band. And now in San Antonio, they are painting murals of Ozzy on, like, buildings like, they just. Like, they just revealed today. It is the most hilarious, ridiculous thing. But honestly, I can almost. I can see Azie up there just being like, yeah, got you. Like, it's really funny. [00:28:58] Speaker A: Conceived in the eye all the secrets and they scatter day after birth. [00:29:10] Speaker B: That's it. [00:29:16] Speaker A: Yeah. I can't believe. Yeah, that's beautiful. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, we. We're. We're great singers on this podcast. That's what I've been telling you. [00:29:25] Speaker B: We need Greg to record himself doing an Aussie, like, Black Sabbath song on his guitar and put a Spotify. We need this in our lives. [00:29:39] Speaker A: You guys ever feel like Crazy Train kind of loses its teeth after that amazing intro? [00:29:44] Speaker C: Yes, dude. [00:29:45] Speaker B: You get that crazy intro and you're just in it and you're just on for the ride, which is what the crazy train is, right? [00:29:50] Speaker A: It's like Ozzy screaming all aboard. And laughing and then the guitar riff and the drums and that. That. That instrument that's like, oh, hey. And then it just becomes this song about peace and love and. [00:30:06] Speaker B: Yeah. Is anyone gonna mention him biting the head off the bat and all the jokes, that pursuit. [00:30:11] Speaker C: Like, I was gonna mention that, actually. I completely forgot to mention it. But, yeah, that is crazy how he. [00:30:17] Speaker B: The best Aussie mythology ever. Like, it is my favorite thing. And he makes jokes about it instead of being like, no. Well, and he will be like, it was an accident. And I thought it was this. And it wasn't supposed to be like this and, like, a fed through this. You know what I mean? [00:30:32] Speaker A: It was a rubber bat. [00:30:33] Speaker B: Yes, he did think it was a rubber, but it was a prop and it wasn't. And then it was a total accident, and now it's, like, iconic. It is iconic. Ozzy. That is like, someone says Ozzy Osbourne, and the first thought in my head is, fucking bat eater. Hell, yeah. [00:30:51] Speaker A: I like the joke on Family Guy where Ozzy's taking it easy and he's like, hey, guys, I'm gonna eat this whole Sandwich now. Yay. And everyone's screaming for him. [00:31:02] Speaker B: You know, that was really him. [00:31:04] Speaker A: Oh, that's funny. [00:31:06] Speaker B: Yeah, if you look at his IMDb page, bro. Like, he did so much crazy, fun stuff, and he made fun of himself all of the time. And I think that's part of the beauty that is Ozzy. Like, he didn't take himself too seriously. He was willing to be like, I'm hilarious, sugar. Like, it's amazing. [00:31:30] Speaker A: Do we think that Sharon was kind of a villain in his life? [00:31:34] Speaker B: I don't think Ozzy would have lived as long as he did without Sharon. Whether she's a villain or not, it's not my time to judge. I mean, she did. He did almost kill her. [00:31:45] Speaker A: He voiced her. He voiced someone in Gnomeo and Juliet. That's fun. Oh, he's in Little Nicky, the classic. You know. [00:31:50] Speaker B: Yes. There's a whole scene. [00:31:52] Speaker A: Great. I'm so happy that exists. [00:31:55] Speaker B: Me neither. I hate Adam Sandler movies. [00:31:57] Speaker C: My goodness. [00:31:58] Speaker A: Yeah, he sucks. Yeah. [00:32:00] Speaker B: Happy Gilmore, too. Guys never watch. [00:32:03] Speaker A: We did. Sadly, we watched it. [00:32:05] Speaker C: Pandora's box here. [00:32:07] Speaker B: I am so disappointed, Daniel. I'm so disappointed I didn't put it on. It was Chris, of course. [00:32:14] Speaker A: Did you guys know that Ozzy Osbourne played a character called Sid Fishy in Bubble Guppies? [00:32:19] Speaker B: Yes. My kids were the right age, and we watched the. This is what I was telling you. He did a whole bunch of, like, really awesome, like, kid, like, kids show cameos and kid movie cameos for the parents who are stuck there watching Bubble Bubble, Bubble Guppy, Guppy Guppies. Like, it gets stuck in your brain, and it's horrible and horrifying, and you're like, I don't know, 30 something. And you're watching this horrible show about these, like, mermaids that are like, it makes no sense. And you're like, why the does this exist? And all of a sudden, poof, there's this glimmer of hope that is Ozzy Osbourne. And he's hilarious because he's. [00:32:58] Speaker A: Because he's. He's collecting a paycheck. [00:33:01] Speaker B: Well, either that or he's giving hope to adults that actually know what good music is. And it's like, okay, I can stand this for five more seconds because Ozzy was there. As a parent, I'm gonna tell you, it's a thing. You get stuck watching some of the most amazing stuff sometimes and horrible stuff other times, and you feel like you're literally losing your ent. And then the Ozzy in, like, Trolls. [00:33:26] Speaker A: Green Fairy in Moulin Rouge. That's kind of cool. [00:33:29] Speaker B: Yeah, he's the voice of the green fairy. I think Kylie Minoge is the body of the green fairy. Kylie Minogue, she's the green fairy. She's, like, in it for, like, two seconds. Have you never seen Moulin Rouge? [00:33:39] Speaker A: I don't watch musical. [00:33:40] Speaker B: David Bowie's in it and he does. He does a song in it and. [00:33:45] Speaker A: All right, all right, I'll watch it. I'll buy your candy. I'll watch your movie. He's on my favorite show. Parker Lewis Can't Lose. [00:33:52] Speaker B: Yes. Wait, what? You watched Parker Lewis Can't Lose? How old are you? [00:33:57] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, it's up there with alf. It's one of my favorites. [00:34:00] Speaker B: You know, I hate you so much. I did love Parker. [00:34:03] Speaker A: Idiot. Yeah, I never watched it. What do I look like, I'm wearing a crown? Yeah. Greg, are you a big fan of Parker Lewis Can't Lose? [00:34:15] Speaker B: He's never. [00:34:17] Speaker A: No. All right, what else is he in? Let's see, what else? Oh, he's in Trick or Treat, the Bryan Singer movie. That's cool. [00:34:25] Speaker B: And Singer. But I told you he was in that movie. [00:34:28] Speaker A: Yeah, with the werewolf girls. Yeah. All right. [00:34:31] Speaker B: Wrong movie. If you think you're getting the hot. And a Paquin is a werewolf, that's not the one. You're getting freaking Ozzy insane in a car with Lemmy. It's awesome. [00:34:42] Speaker A: I mean, that does sound pretty awesome, I'm not gonna lie. So it's the last bit of trivia. My dad does love Ozzy. He thinks he's cool. But my dad thinks that Dio sucks. He says his music is stupid. He sings about stupid fucking things, and I'm like, dad, this is like classic metal. Like, how can you hate Dio? He's like, fucking stupid, man. [00:35:02] Speaker B: He says it just like that, too, with the accent, doesn't he? [00:35:05] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, but what accent? That's how I talk. [00:35:09] Speaker B: I guess. You do. [00:35:11] Speaker A: No, he. [00:35:12] Speaker B: He. [00:35:13] Speaker A: He filmed his neighbor because he was rocking out to Dio. He's playing Rambo in the dark. He's like, sucks music. Look at him rocking out to the stupid. And I'm just like, yeah, what a loser. He likes Dio. [00:35:27] Speaker B: It was a bad. [00:35:29] Speaker A: Yeah, Dio's great, man. Oh, my God. When he died, I was pretty upset. So I think as we speed, as we reach the conclusion of this episode, we should probably talk about how we're feeling. For my part, as much as I love Ozzy as much as a part he of. As much as he was a part of me growing up as an artist and a poet and a general giant edgelord. Like, I can't say that I'm devastated that he's dead. You know, I feel like Ozzy. It's kind of a miracle that he lived this long. And I feel very lucky. I don't say blessed. Right. I go out of my way not say that. But I feel very lucky that we got three albums after Scream, because I thought Scream was it. I like Scream. I like Latimer's Mercy. I like Soul Sucker. I think it's a good album, you know, but we got 13. That was him and Sabbath getting back together to put out probably, like, one of their easily top five albums. I mean, I know that might be blasphemy, because it's not. [00:36:28] Speaker B: You're right. [00:36:30] Speaker A: Top five, top ten at worst. You know, it's a phenomenal fucking album. And then we got Ordinary man, which is. Every song is great. And then, of course, Patient Number Nine, which, you know, it's a. It's a wonderful album to go out on. It's not as good as Bowie's Black Star or Leonard Cohen's. You want it darker. Right? [00:36:49] Speaker B: That's exactly what I was gonna say. [00:36:52] Speaker A: Mm. Right, of course, because we have the same opinion on that. But, like, you know. Yeah, for my part, I'm not crying. You know, I feel very. I actually wrote a poem. It's. It needs to be workshopped a bit, and maybe I'll read it as we close, you know, but, you know, I'm feeling a certain way. I can't say I'm devastated. It's more so that, like, Ozzy's dead, you know, and, like, as Greg said in the last episode, the world that Ozzy Osbourne was part of is dead now. Now we live in a world where Ozzy Osbourne is no longer with us. And, like, you know, I'm in my 30s. You know, I'm in my mid-30s. And, like, I've come around to the fact 2016 was a bad year. I think the year before 2015 to 2017, a lot of people died. We lost Christopher Lee, we watched. We lost Princess Leia, Leonard Nimoy, David Bowie. The list goes on and on and on and on. And, like, my thing is that I had to accept that, you know, I'm in my mid-30s and people are gonna die. People I grew up watching on tv, which includes the Hulkster and Ozzy Osbourne, these staples of pop culture, you know. So that's how I'm feeling about Ozzy Osbourne. Moved enough to write a poem, but not moved enough to have a mental breakdown and call out of work for two weeks. [00:38:09] Speaker B: You know, I. I lost David lynch this year. [00:38:14] Speaker A: That's true. Mr. Lynch did pass. [00:38:16] Speaker B: That was when Christopher Lee died. It was like the end of the whole hammer. Like, it was like the end of an era for me and, like, a whole part of my life. David Bowie died on my birthday. And I will never forget that as long. I mean, but at least now we're forever intertwined. Because every time my birthday happens, it's David Bowie day, too, kind of, in a way, you know, like, he's everywhere and it's beautiful. But I will. Like, that one hurt me so bad that I couldn't even acknowledge the fact that Alan Rickman died, like, a couple weeks later, and then Prince was gone. And then David lynch died this year. And then it just. Like, that's the thing, guys, like, people die. But here's the other thing that I've noticed. Like, even with Ozzy, like, people die. But when you make something that affects so many people and has, like, I don't know, such an emotional attachment, like, it's never really gone. Like, the music is so still there. Like, the freaking Osbourne show is still streaming on Tubi. Like, they're never really gone. Like, nobody. Nobody who creates ever really disappears. Is kind of what I've come to with all of this. Being older than everyone else in the room, that's my takeaway with art and creativity in any way, shape, form or fashion. Like, music never dies. Like, literature, it never dies. Even though people are trying to burn it now, it's great. Trick or treat with Ozzy on fucking Tubi right now. Like, no one's ever really gone. Like, we leave an imprint. [00:40:02] Speaker A: Greg. Greg. Did you come over when Christopher Lee died and I put on that Dracula movie? [00:40:07] Speaker C: No, I don't think I did. [00:40:09] Speaker A: You weren't there. I wish I could remember who was there. We watched Dracula Has Risen from the Grave and the Howling Tears. Sister is a Werewolf. [00:40:16] Speaker B: I met Sybil. Kidding. [00:40:18] Speaker A: I know. I know. Adrian, that was very beautifully said. And I. I echo your sentiments. The art that we leave behind is our legacy. Yeah. Ozzy's an immortal. I mean, you know, no other way to, you know. I mean, like, fuck, man. I mean, the guy changed the world, right? [00:40:33] Speaker B: You know, he did. He even changed little moments for crazy parents with kids like me, you know, like, he made it a little bit better, a little bit easier. [00:40:43] Speaker A: He was Sid Fishy. He was Sid Fishy. They probably would have taken Any rock star for that role. [00:40:49] Speaker B: I mean, I would have taken Gary Oldman because he played Sid Vicious and Sin and Nancy, but whatever is totally Ozzy Osbourne all the way, guys. [00:40:58] Speaker A: It's not even the right genre, though. Like, Sid Vicious was a punk rocker. [00:41:01] Speaker B: Like, I know, but named him after Sid Vicious. [00:41:06] Speaker A: I know. Well, Sid Fishy, right? Greg, how are you feeling about Mr. Osborne? [00:41:11] Speaker C: Uh, I mean, yeah, I think he's immortal. He's definitely was inspirational to me. It's funny looking back on it, because when I was 12, like, it was shocking to see him on TV as this crazy guy. Like, I'm like, wait, the guy that wrote Iron man is like all drugged out and weird. Like, it didn't really connect. And then it's like he wrote all these other songs too. What? The crazy guy did all this? And then it's like, it just was so wild for me. But no, without Ozzy, I don't think we. Music would have evolved to be that next step. I mean, can you imagine if the original Black Sabbath was instead of Tony Iommi getting with Ozzy and, you know, Geezer and Bill. Like, it was like Dio. Or it was Martin first. [00:42:07] Speaker A: Tony Martin. [00:42:08] Speaker C: What would have that been like it like Dio. It wouldn't. We wouldn't have probably had heavy metal, in my opinion. Or at least not as soon. I'm sure we would have gotten some kind of flavor of it eventually. But really, Ozzy was such a pioneer of heavy metal and you don't really. Well, you do kind of hear him branch out too. I mean, like, Mama, I'm Coming Home, Dreamer, Goodbye to Romance. Like, they're not like the heaviest song. So you do see him branch out, but his staple is heavy metal. Like, when I think of great heavy metal frontmen or singers, I think of Ozzy. Like, he might be the first guy I think of. And then I guess you gotta say, like, James Hetfield's also up there in terms of front men for heavy metal. But, yeah, I'm doing okay. It was so shocking to hear. That was. Believe it or not, that was more of a gut punch to me probably than like David Bowie or Prince or any of those folks passing. Because Black Sabbath was such a staple. And like, playing guitar and hearing it, I mean, the real gut punch for me still hasn't come and I'm always like, I'm probably gonna jinx it. But it's always like, oh, boy, what if Robert Plant or Jamie Page passed away? That would really get me bad. And then maybe even JPJ John Paul Jones, their bass player. But, yeah, I mean, it was like 1980. I was, like, negative 10 years old. So I didn't get to witness the whole thing that happened with John Bonham passing. And I can only imagine, like, how that would have impacted me. Like, if John Bonham was still going today and he passed, that would be. That would be tragic because, like, you could argue, like, he's the staple of Led Zeppelin. But, I mean, you know, it's funny. I was talking to my dad about Black Sabbath. He couldn't name any member of Black Sabbath other than Ozzy. And I feel like, sadly, that's probably a lot of people. They can only name Ozzy. He was like, the true. [00:44:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:21] Speaker C: Frontman. Face of the band, really. And we can all, like. I feel like you could probably meet a lot of people that couldn't name anybody, even including Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin. But pretty much, if you say Black Sabbath, everybody's gonna say Ozzy. Now, sadly, there are gonna be some people that only know Ozzy for the Osbournes, and they'll probably have that reaction. Like, when I was younger, like, oh, that crazy guy wrote all this great music. Like, what? So, I mean, but that's just reality. I'll close on this. We can remember him with tributes, and I hope that more tributes come out. But one album that we all should check out is Nativity in Black. It's just a general tribute to Black Sabbath in general. [00:45:09] Speaker A: Primus Nib is so good. [00:45:12] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That tribute to Uncle Howdy. [00:45:16] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:45:19] Speaker B: And it's not even funny. [00:45:23] Speaker C: Yeah. But I would say some favorites for that would probably be Paranoid by Megadeth also. And Children of the Grave, White Zombie are ones to check out from that one, I'd say. But. Yeah. That I'll miss him. He's immortal. He'll live on. [00:45:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:45:45] Speaker C: I'd say of all the artists that passed, this one means the most to me so far. I feel like a lot of people can't say that, but given that, like. And he. His music. Goodbye to Romance helped me get through some tough times. And Dreamer over the Mountain. Yeah, just some songs, so I can relate. I. I miss him for sure. But, yeah, he's up there. He's the. He's been the hardest pill to swallow of music artists so far for me. [00:46:13] Speaker B: Greg, that's beautiful. [00:46:16] Speaker C: Thank you, Adrian. I appreciate that. [00:46:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I feel that, Greg, and I appreciate that. That's. It's very heartfelt. And, yeah, obviously we've all lost Some celebrities. I mean, Adrian had David Lynch. David Bowie. David Bowie, Chester Bennington. It's hard to lose celebrities. They're not your friends, but they're people you build a parasocial relationship with nonetheless. So. [00:46:35] Speaker C: I miss Chris Cornell. I gotta throw out there, too. That was a really tough one. When he died him. [00:46:42] Speaker B: Three months before he died, I was five months pregnant with my son and he opened for Nine Inch Nails. And when Chris Cornell died, like, three months later, it was so. Because that was like my era, like, that was like. He's like. It was hard. [00:47:00] Speaker C: I know. That's awesome. You got to meet him and it's so sad that he died just three months after, though. [00:47:07] Speaker B: Yeah, it was. It was really shocking because he was fine. He looked and sounded and talked like he was fine. And then he killed himself. And it was. That went like. Suicide is, like, the hardest, but that's like a whole other story that shall be told another time. [00:47:24] Speaker C: It is. I'll just throw this out here, like. And I think we've alluded to it earlier in the last episode, but we do have to give Ozzy a lot of credit. He went through a lot of stuff and never succumbed to suicide. And, yeah, there's the song Suicide Solution with everything he was going through, but it's amazing that he didn't succumb to that. And it says a lot about the industry that so many of these musicians are going that way, like, by way of suicide or overdose or whatever. It's a. It's a very, like, challenging industry. I mean, physically, mentally challenging. And just hearing, like, what, like, Black Sabbath did, like, I read things where they were basically, like vegetables, like, all day, and then it was time to play and they just got it together. They were energized. And then they just, like, collapsed and did drugs after it. And I think that was actually the problem with Ozzy that the rest of the band had wasn't so much his ability to go on the stage and perform. It's just. Yeah, he wasn't productive. He wasn't able to continue to produce in the studio and write new material around, like, the late 70s. Like, 79 is when he got fired, unfortunately. Well, maybe that was needed, though, you know, maybe because we wouldn't have gotten solo azie, and we might have gotten, like, a dead azie if he continued down that path. [00:48:59] Speaker A: Imagine a world. Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg. Can you imagine a world where Mr. Crowley doesn't exist? [00:49:04] Speaker C: Like the song I can't imagine it. Mr. Crowley. Yeah, that's. That's a Top Aussie song. I know. We couldn't use that on our list. [00:49:12] Speaker B: It was on my list, too, bro. It was on my list, too. [00:49:16] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's. It's phenomenal. It's not on our list because it's on all of our lists anyway, like. [00:49:22] Speaker C: Right? Yeah. [00:49:24] Speaker A: Yeah. So. Yeah. So with that in mind, I. I think I'll read my. My Ed. My. My little poem here. And just to close us out, Mr. Osborne, you stuck around for so long, Swept up in the thrill of it all, Immortal in death now a giant on the other side. You've gone into the void to laugh at the war pigs while we're still riding the crazy train so tired knowing we're all running out of time. Oh, Mr. Osborn, were you really a dreamer or just a 21st century schizoid man, did you bark at the moon Rather than say goodbye to romance? Was Mama, I'm coming home a promise or a threat? Mr. Darkness and Mr. Crowley are your drinking buddies now, but we here on Planet Earth will always have Iron Man. Sweetleaf, lord of this world. Children of the grave, Fairies wear boots. The wizard, Sabra, Kadabra, and walk on water. You were there for every ride over the mountain, every nativity in black, every shot in the dark. Or at least your music was. Sleep tight. Sleep the sleep of the peaceful dead. Prince of Darkness. [00:50:32] Speaker B: It's beautiful, Dan. [00:50:34] Speaker A: It's something. It's gimmicky, but. [00:50:36] Speaker C: Yeah. That was a beautiful poem. [00:50:37] Speaker A: No, it needs a little work, but. Yeah, it's hard to put into words how I feel. You know, I wrote something similar for Bowie when he died, and. Yeah, Ozzy again, is like the archetypal. He's like the platonic idea of a rock star. You know, I never read his book because I was like, I know what's in that book. It's Ozzy Osbourne. For a future episode where we talk about Ozzy and Sabbath and we do a true deep dive, perhaps I will read that book. But, you know, I'm glad we did this. We got together to talk about Ozzy and what he meant to us. And it's always hard to say goodbye to a friend, even if it's not a real friend. Right? You know, it's a. It's a celebrity.
