First of all, don't doubt my passion in metal (especially 80's), I breathe, bleed metal and I love Ozzy's works.
I understand his position in the metal world and he's the "godfather of heavy metal" But at times I just couldn't help but think that he got famous because 1) he's a crazy , 2) he got lucky with finding the most ridiculous guitarists on this planet: Rhoads, Lee, and then Wylde. Like without those geniuses flying on their fretboards... I don't see how Ozzy can ever get famous? Admit it, he is not the most competent vocalist... It took me awhile to get used to his singing at the beginning. Excuse me if I sound ignorant. I know I'm uneducated in Ozzy's history, hence why I am questioning. I also know he published an autobiography, but I haven't read it. If there's something from that book that would open my eyes, I'd gladly hear it! Thank you so much!!

BLACK SABBATH.
And you I wholly recommend you read his autobiography, it's the funniest auto biog ever written and it's still really interesting as well |

BLACK SABBATH and many good solo albums have made him an icon from metal.

Ozzy also owes a fair bit to good management and promotion by his wife Sharon (who is Don Arden's daughter - Don was the Black Sabbath manager). If I remember correctly it was Sharon who put together the band - and so recruited Randy Rhodes - for the first couple of Ozzy lps.

I greatly appreciate you guys' answers. It is a lesson for me. And I was told I am asking this question just to try to get attention to my cover. I'd remove it but I can't seem to find the EDIT button... No like i said i know i am uneducated in his history so i am asking. again thank you very much! no problem mate! this thread could really help to many other guys that are young and don't really know where Ozzy comes from. -------------------- My lessons
