This is the tale of two madmen. Neither Ozzy Osbourne nor Rob Zombie have put a new record out recently, but the farewell night of their tour together Monday at Toronto's Air Canada Centre proved that no matter what, people still love a freak show. Most had come to witness the grandmaster freak himself, The Ozzman, while they still had the...

Ozzy Osbourne — Black Rain

in
By Andre Mihsin (CHARTattack) June 12, 2007 8:26 pm
It's a shame that most people will probably remember Ozzy as the bumbling old man from that reality show instead of one of the greatest performers in heavy metal history. But it seems clear that the Prince Of Darkness is less at home on TV than onstage, where he speaks clearly and can jump around for hours at a time, or in the studio, where he can...

Flying High Again: The World's Greatest Tribute To Ozzy Osbourne Compilation

in
By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) March 14, 2006 11:52 am
It's always a little confusing when tribute albums are released for artists who aren't dead yet. Then again, the old-school, bat-biting Ozzy has since been supplanted by "TV reality dad" Ozzy, so why the hell not? A few stars got roped into this one, including Lemmy howling "Desire" and Yngwie Malmsteen shredding on "Mr....

Ozzy Osbourne — Under Cover

By Michael Stittle (CHARTattack) November 8, 2005 2:52 pm
Question: what do you do with an aging metal icon, someone who is responsible for transforming the industrial landscape of his youth into some of the heaviest rock music ever conceived? Well, letting him release an album of ill-conceived covers is a bad idea. Singing John Lennon's "Woman," Ozzy seems to be doing a bad impression of...

Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" Declared Most Controversial Song Of All Time

It seems people find domestic violence and misogyny more offensive than gay sex, anti-monarchism, drug use, murder, abortion, copious use of the word "fuck," suicide, atheism and the medical experiments at Auschwitz. The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" has been voted the most controversial song of all time in a new poll by Britain's Performing...

20 Outlandish Rock Star Deaths

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) September 10, 2010 10:51 am
Deaths from overdosing are commonplace in the world of rock 'n' roll. But being hit in the head by a speedboat, choking on a ham sandwich or being shot to death on stage are far less commonplace. Former Electric Light Orchestra member Michael Edwards getting smushed last week was certainly a peculiar way to go out. So it got us thinking, "What...

You've gotta love Ozzy Osbourne: against all odds, he just keeps going. By all common sense, he — much like his fellow "I've probably pickled my insides" cohort Keith Richards — should have been dead a long time ago. Folks will always remember Ozzy, both for his musical legacy as well as his insanity. But it's quite likely no one is...
