Yeah, he lives down the road, would you like to meet him? I'm sure he could keep you warm on those up coming cold winter nights.

EWWWW!!!

True true, but he isn't wearing a bandana nor is he wearing any camo. Hairy but no gun not a guerilla.

Good info, Jimmy

Suppose Iommi and Butler sharing writing with all the members of the band is a bit like Bono and The Edge sharing songwriting of all U2 songs with the band - class gesture, if you ask me.

Agree with comments about Blizzard, Madman and No More Tears, although I thought the latter album was his most mature of his career, but the early Sabbath is in a different stratosphere, for me.

Errr, NO.....................That is a saying here. When you hear something you know is just fucking brilliant the tiny hairs on the back of your neck stand up, otherwise called, Shivers down your spine.  I'm sure you know that. So, yes ................I'm as hairy as a guerilla! Suprisingly I mask it well! HA!!!

He didn't have to, as long as he could sing like he did back then. Last album he sang great on was No more tears. About 4 songs on the whole thing worth it, but still when he gets it right, he makes the hair on your neck stand up.  WHEN he does. Sorry to say, you can never get that in concert.

They are awesome, I'm just saying that he didn't write much of them, if any.

Blizzard and Diary were two fantastic albums. That cemented Ozzy's presence in Metal more than Black Sabbath, in my mind.

All the songs were written by Butler and Iommi. As leader of the band Iommi credited the whole band on every song. Don't ask me why but that's what they did. From what I gather all the songs on Ozzys first two solo albums were written by Randy Rhoads and Bob Daisley. Ozzy doesn't contribute much in the writing stakes other than an idea or melody here and there but gets credit, I guess, because he makes the songs so good with his voice, presence and showmanship.

Just checked a few sites to double check and, well, you learn something new everyday.

Great lyrics, whoever wrote them.
[onetreehill] Friday, May 28, 2010 7:11:26 PM 
Is that right, Jimmy? I thought that writing the lyrics was why Osbourne got his name on the song credits. If I'm wrong, I'm happy to stand corrected. Still think Ozzy's voice suited what they were doing in those early years perfectly.
[jimmyjames] Friday, May 28, 2010 6:58:57 PM 
Geezer Butler wrote the lyrics to the early Black Sabbath albums with Ozzy.

When it comes to lyrical abilty Ozzy wins hands down. Look at the first six Sabbath albums, up to and including Sabotage, and you have some of the best metal lyrics ever. Ozzy's voice fits Sabbath, and so his voice has to go down as perfect for one of the greatest metal acts.

Dio had the better voice, for sure. His work on Rainbow Rising and Heaven and Hell is awesome. His writing is not as good as Ozzy's.

They are both metal legends with voices that fit the moment. Dio the better voice, but Ozzy the better wordsmith.

RIP RJD
