38 years ago I saw Ozzy Osbourne on his Bark At The Moon tour. Ozzy's voice was great and it was an amazing show. As a bonus, Motley Crue opened while on their Shout At The Devil tour. I don't think I can top shows like that anymore.
I saw him in winter of 1992, with Alice In Chains and Sepultura. Sepultura opened with about 30 minutes, that was just so good. Then, Alice In Chains, played about 45 min, with Layne in a Wheelchair for part of it. Dirt had been out for a couple months at that point, but hadn’t blown up yet. They did a killer set. Then Ozzy did an excellent show, with No More Tears songs, and hits from each album. It was perfect fuel, for a 15 year old musician. Alice was one of my favorite bands, so I was only bummed they didn’t play longer.
Me and a couple of friends ran into him in Vancouver that year. He was doing a radio interview with the guys from Crue and we chatted with them all outside the station. Almost 40 years ago and he's still going. Not too shabby at all!
@@CorbCorbin I saw that tour but Sepultara was not part of the line up in North Carolina. I did make an effort to see Sepultura the next year when they were opening for Pantera but the drummer broke his arm. Anyway, AIC absolutely killed it. Ozzy was great too, and they sounded good but there was something about the AIC energy. A little trivia from the 1992 tour as Mike Starr was the bass player for AIC and Mike Inez was the bass player for Ozzy on that tour. The following year Starr would leave AIC and be replaced by Inez. Did not know I was getting to see AIC and both there bass players that night. It is kinda funny the tour was called the "No More Tours Tour," as Ozzy was touring the No More Tears album and retiring.
I was so pleasantly surprised when this comeback collaboration came along. Ozzy is looking really great and seems to be having a bloody great time, and with none other than Jeff Beck, what a way to return!
Art is the search for humanity and what they made is art and science existing as quantum throughout in so many places in the album I really like it. My brain can hear and feel it.
I’m always amazed by how quickly you can analyse and reproduce the songs on an acoustic guitar. Even more impressive is the fact that your “unplugged” versions are usually better than the one that you’re analysing (as in this case). Jeez - you are so underrated.
Love how genuine and funny this content is. Watched about 15 videos today and that all seem so honest and you seem to really be enjoying it. Keep it up mate.
No he bit the head off of 2 doves in a business meeting March 27/81. I’ve seen the photos as well as read about it online. It’s not something he’s proud of now, but yeah, it sucks.
Hola! Just discovered your channel and I fell totally in love with your humour! Can´t believe you and the band came to Argentina AND I MISSED YOU GUYS! You are definitely not a joke, not a comedy band. I´ll keep watching your content as I love music and you TEACH A LOT! Massive hugs from Buenos Aires. xx
@@mimilini1 I think Justin is a great musician but also has a great deal of common sense to speak his mind in an open and honest way, not hurting others feelings and also entertaining his viewers. I do appreciate all these things. I would consider a podcast format or some collabs or interviews with other musicians or producers. Or analise bands popular in other countries! That would be lots of fun!
Sound reminds me of the Ozzmosis album from 95. Personally one of my favourite Ozzy albums, (old la tonight) Zakk Wylde at his glorious best 🤩 so looking forward to hearing more of this.
Agreed. Except he wasn’t doing lame stuff like crying for his mommy or trying to be Vincent Price on Ozzmosis. The sound is there but the lyrics are silly.
😂I love how you try to be humble but your musical knowledge just gives you away! I could go on listening to you for hours. I wish your videos were longer...
@@artysanmobile I didn't mean any disrespect at all! He's just so incredibly talented! It shows! That's all I meant! I love him to the moon and back ten times!!
As a Metal guitarist, Black Sabbath is tattoed on my soul like Bach. They will always be my favourite band. I love the tone on Master Of Reality! Just pure Metal, devoid of any unwanted bells and whistles..... I'm looking at you Technical Ecstasy! Great songs on that album, but I want to smash that keyboard into a million pieces! It has no business being on that album, and it's also way too loud, drowning out Iommi's drone, and Bill and Geezer too, probably the greatest rhythm section in a Metal band! I digress, Ozzy is an amazing singer. Check out The Angelic Sessions, especially the last track: Changes. Ozzy looks pretty ravaged by life, but he sung so beautifully, at his age, I got a bit choked up. Love ya Ozzy!!!!!🖤🤘
Having just listened through Sabotage as I was cooking dinner (as you do!) I was all set to disagree with you, so I went back to MoR and then BS, Paranoid and Vol 4 and realised that the best album of the first five, is the last one you listened to.
@@sd3457 also a monster album , like you said my favourite one from the first six is always the last one I listened to , apart from maybe the debut it’s amazing , but always feels slightly prototype to me compared to the rest
Me I am speechless. Even the bands / songs I wouldn’t usually like / listen to, you start playing them and immediately sound heavenly. This is the best music channel on the internet in this specific historical period. And I am not exaggerating. Bravo 👏🏻
As you are the finest, most talented gatekeeper of all things dark I am very excited about your opinion on this latest release by the prince of darkness! I heard the track yesterday. The guitar saves the production most definitely and it's a solid song imo So much love and music to you Mr. Hawkins♡
Love this guys attitude and comments. Really easy to listen to, short and quick and fun. Plus he's had enough experience and is humble enough that the comments make sense and come from an honest reflection...love it...
At one point in the solo, Jeff Beck, friggin 78 years old gets all Tom Morello. The influence is probably the other way around, but when you play a solo part in an Ozzy song that could also be in RATM and it works, that's brilliant.
Yeah Jeff Beck has always been quite inventive and ahead of his time. I like to think the influence is circular. Like Jeff influenced Tom to a degree, Tom found his own thing and then Jeff heard Tom and took some influence from him as well.
I’ll always love Ozzy, Randy and Zakk are my two favourite guitarists alongside Eddie Van Halen, John Sykes, Gary Moore and Slash. Zakk is one of the nicest guys, always treats me like gold when he really doesn’t have to, so pleased he’s on this album.
HOLY CRAP! This is the best song ever! I think he's talking about western medicine trapping patients in lifetime s of torture. Imagine struggle to get clean followed by something like Parinsons. catch 22. Rock on oz! ❤
@@xwhite2020 Rad contribution tho. I sorta assume he turns up having been supplied some rough tracks and plays and leaves. But I hope I’m wrong about this. His style is all through the riffing on this one - but that doesn’t mean he did much writing. I wonder if anyone has to write much these days? A team of folks out the back writing lyrics and riffs probably exists more often than I want to know.
Not sure I agree that Ozzy’s use of mordents, or otherwise bending and messing about with notes is a new thing. He’s pretty much always done it and I would say it’s probably one of the main features of his vocal style. Even if you go to the very first song on the first Sabbath album, he’s bending the notes. “What is this that stands befORE\ me, figure in black which points at mE/EE\”
I love this song. It's really great. But I'm a sucker for a good hook. I'm just happy to see Ozzy still producing relevant music into his waning years.
Aww, what a fabulous reaction review Justin! Really loved that 😁💜 I've been a fan of Ozzy's since The Blizzard of Oz days. Like yours, his music videos never disappoint either. I love this track too, it should be made into a movie! I think he should continue making music for as long as he can, although I did notice he seems to have had a little 'help' with his vocals. It really doesn't matter though, it's still essentially Ozzy 🤘😈💀🦇 Thank you Justin! 💜
The new song is quite a dramatic introduction for the album ahead. It's very novel and well thought out.. Great show! It's interesting seeing and hearing your reaction. Oh and that madman interlude skit you do toward the end from a separate take is Funny.
Thanks to you and this channel, I've re joined a band playing bass guitar. I'd given up during lock down, but I love music, especially rock, blues and metal, but anything that's well written, or has good musicianship to it. Thanks Justin 👌
I’ve been really enjoying your shows! I have recently been listening to “This Is For You” by Classless Act, and your solo on that recording is brilliant! I’d love to see a breakdown of how you approached it.
Guitarist/producer Andrew Watt's album with Glenn Hughes and Jason Bonham 'American Breed' is awesome. Didn't realize he'd transitioned to production. Thanks for another bangin' "old man tries to sing" reaction video.
Love the guitar riffs in this song together with Ozzy's singing. Very catchy. And I always enjoy listening to your acoustic interpretations very much as well. 🙂 Question: What is your answer when someone asks you: When/Are you ever going to/can you tune your guitar? Actually, I would like to see you doing it. Just the process of it, done by you.
You truly are the bomb diggety! I laughed until I cried at your shirt! Lemon on a pear!!!!! 😂😂😂 I actually met a boyfriend at a concert who let me sit on his shoulders so I could see! 😂😂😂 Ah youth! Thank you so much for doing these! You make my day. I learn, I laugh - what more can one ask for?
I believe the significance of patient # 9 refers to on the Personal Health Questionnaire they make you fill out . Question #9 is do u think about suicide. If u answer yes, your automatically committed and they sometimes call u “9” cause u answered yes to being suicidal
What Jeff plays, sounds akin to something that he conjured in the several minutes it took him to consume his cup of tea during the first listen. Brilliant as always!
Ok subscribed I've really been enjoying these videos its very refreshing to hear you talk honestly about your peers and also add in knowledge you have gained from your own career along with your fantastic sense of humor. Long may this series continue. Great stuff dude
I saw you guys in South Africa... due to my girlfriend's Lady Gaga infatuation. obviously i was automatically so "amped". You guys are the best rock band i've seen live, besides myself in the mirror. I have and always will be a fan. Somewhat similar to Silverchair, later in your songwriting years. I love that people get to see your talent .... bring up the steel panther situation!!
Justin hawkins my good mate thank you for your videos you cheer me up always a pleasure too see you and what voice wow i seen the darkness in 2004 18 years ago it was brilliant
Thanks for the vid, love the song, and most of all I love seeing how well Ozzy's doing since he got sober. He looks and carries himself fantastically well these days as a result, and I hope he's around, and producing more music for us all till the end of time itself.
This is really strong single, I’d say as well the engineers really helped the vocal sit so well (perhaps even created the third harmonies.. or one of his life support vocalists.) He is the Ozzy… * oops, LIVE support vocalists. In the studio… / edit
I loved Ozzy circa 1983-6 The Bark at the Moon/ Ultimate SIn era with Jake was him at his performance peak in my opinion both on record and live-wise, before his voice deteriorated. Now, this may be heresy to some, I know, but I never really liked his Sabbath year , but I always felt the Talk of The Devil versions of those songs sound fantastic (SIde 1 is amazing, just how heavy does Symptom of the Universe sound?) Kind of lost me when Zakk and the multiple pinch harmonics and then that reality show entered the equation. Much respect to him still having a go here, but his voice sounds heavily 'Melodyned' in parts and he seems to be going through a series of Ozzy vocal tropes rather than actually singing. Shame. I do wonder if he should have called it a day over 10 years ago, but then I guess it's what he loves to do, and can you imagine having to stay at home and listen to Sharon day in day out as she orders another gold plated toilet whilst numerous rat-dogs crap on the carpet? Great stuff as always Justin - love this channel.
I've seen him with Randy, Brad Gillis and Jake. I think under the circumstances Brad did a great job. Talk of the Devil is still a favourite of mine. His latest efforts are so far removed from his usual style I just can't get into them at all. . This new track is catchy and although I'm amazed he's still going at this point it really sounds like the Ozzy tropes you mentioned were all fed into an AI and this is what came out. There's nothing natural sounding in it at all.
Hi mr orkins .you are one of my favorite guitarists.used to live In the hell hole called great yarmouth.we ave seen you quite a few times..loved your 10 minute solos.. You are a hero to a lot of people..stay safe dude .gary.
Okay so this is the only time in my RUclips history that the algorithm recommendation actually got it right! I am in love with your channel now and the skull! 😍
Yeah, it's an easy camp fire, pop riff, but it has a modern twist on an iconic voice, from a man coming to grips with mortality. The out of left field solo from Jeff Beck was extremely fitting compared to a standard Zack Wylde solo. I say that with respect. Zack is still a beast, but I think this was a good fit for where Ozzy is right now.
If I’m correct, I believe the music video does not contain the full song. You should check out the full song, since there are some good parts missing like the rest of Jeff Beck’s solo and a dark Ozzy bit after the solo. Also, I absolutely love this song!
I’m so dumb. Just realized after months of watching your YT that you are nailing the vocals in The Darkness. I dig your band. My wife hates it. She doesn’t get it. Thanks for the content. I front a STP tribute. Dig your falsetto and vocal approach. Brilliant.
Had no idea Ozz-Man had new music out, thought he might be done, will have a listen! 🎶 Bat was great, demon was great, the bit at the end knocked it out of the park😂 You are a joy Justin!
Justin your channel for me has become a quality staple, thank you. Justin Hawkins rides again, again, Great channel, great content, great guy! 👍👍👍👊✌️. Ps, Life's good, my daughter has just given me a lovely hot double cheese burger from Mc D, lovely guilty pleasure, ( other burger brands are available.). The Ozzy track reviewed sounds great, thanks again. 😁👍👍👍👊✌️.
Love watching you break the song down into it's component parts and working them out in double quick time (I realise there are occasional edits) All of Ozzy's recent albums have been heavily producer orientated but the songs and musicianship never falter. The man is amazing when you consider what he has put himself through in the earlier years. Quick audition for Strictly at the end there Justin!! Which brings me to the question, Would you do Strictly if you were asked? LOL Great stuff as always, from my favourite musician from my favourite band.
Great videos love watching your analysis. Blows my mind how easy you can just hear it and instantly know what they are playing. Have you done one of these videos on Tool? Do you listen or like them at all? Be cool to hear your thoughts.
I’m glad he’s still making music and is able to sing well and it’s definitely a well put together piece. With that said, I wouldn’t listen to this song more than a couple times. It’s just not my favorite style of rock music and some of his melodic decisions, especially, “and I’m not getting out”, sound a little to modern pop for my taste’s.
First time listening I was like "hmm", then I really liked it, it has a melancholic vibe that gets you through. Ozzy needs to be eternal, gotta love him. Greetings from Argentina Justin! Hope you come again but not with Gaga, cant afford those tickets, lol.
Does anyone know the significance of the white bird image in the corner? Is it a hawk, as a play on Hawkins? I’m a new fan, please enlighten me here… Thanks!
Ozzy is such an icon! Man! That was good! I'm surprised cuz...ya know he is getting old but it don't matter! Must be the bat blood! So- what do you mean-posh? Idk if I spelled that right...POSH? POCH?
Ozz did bite the head off of a bat and a dove. He thought the bat was fake as it was thrown on stage while he was performing. He's told the story about the incident and the rabies shots he had to get over the years.

RUclips gold..courtesy Professor Justin🙏Thank you for efforts sir!
Thanks J.H. for another notable commentary - you are a very talented and beautiful man. Love from Florida USA.
Really loved the song. Amazing to see you pick up you guitar and nail the acoustic version lol
Thanks for the vid, love the song, and most of all I love seeing how well Ozzy's doing since he got sober. He looks and carries himself fantastically well these days as a result, and I hope he's around, and producing more music for us all till the end of time itself.
This is really strong single, I’d say as well the engineers really helped the vocal sit so well (perhaps even created the third harmonies.. or one of his life support vocalists.) He is the Ozzy…
* oops, LIVE support vocalists. In the studio… / edit
Probably tuned the F out of him as well. His vocals are on life support, you got that right.
Hahaha
@@bennymountain1 spot on!
Bravo 🙌
I loved Ozzy circa 1983-6 The Bark at the Moon/ Ultimate SIn era with Jake was him at his performance peak in my opinion both on record and live-wise, before his voice deteriorated. Now, this may be heresy to some, I know, but I never really liked his Sabbath year , but I always felt the Talk of The Devil versions of those songs sound fantastic (SIde 1 is amazing, just how heavy does Symptom of the Universe sound?) Kind of lost me when Zakk and the multiple pinch harmonics and then that reality show entered the equation.
Much respect to him still having a go here, but his voice sounds heavily 'Melodyned' in parts and he seems to be going through a series of Ozzy vocal tropes rather than actually singing. Shame. I do wonder if he should have called it a day over 10 years ago, but then I guess it's what he loves to do, and can you imagine having to stay at home and listen to Sharon day in day out as she orders another gold plated toilet whilst numerous rat-dogs crap on the carpet?
Great stuff as always Justin - love this channel.
I've seen him with Randy, Brad Gillis and Jake. I think under the circumstances Brad did a great job. Talk of the Devil is still a favourite of mine. His latest efforts are so far removed from his usual style I just can't get into them at all. . This new track is catchy and although I'm amazed he's still going at this point it really sounds like the Ozzy tropes you mentioned were all fed into an AI and this is what came out. There's nothing natural sounding in it at all.
Ultimate sin is a sick album, fucking greatness! I aldo like "no more tears".
You do the best song breakdowns and literally teach people how to play the song at the same time haha
Hi mr orkins .you are one of my favorite guitarists.used to live
In the hell hole called great yarmouth.we ave seen you quite a few times..loved your 10 minute solos..
You are a hero to a lot of people..stay safe dude .gary.
Okay so this is the only time in my RUclips history that the algorithm recommendation actually got it right! I am in love with your channel now and the skull! 😍
Appreciate your expertise & hearing your thoughts, I listened to it yesterday & enjoyed it!
Whoa, we’re half way there…lemon on a pare 😂
Bon Juicy
Ozzy rules...always has, and always will.
Just found this. It's great and got me back playing the guitar (I'm awful) but i'm loving it.❤️👍
Clicked for the T-shirt, was not disappointed.
This sounds like it's gonna be damn cool! Can't wait to see you guys in Australia 🇦🇺
Yeah, it's an easy camp fire, pop riff, but it has a modern twist on an iconic voice, from a man coming to grips with mortality. The out of left field solo from Jeff Beck was extremely fitting compared to a standard Zack Wylde solo. I say that with respect. Zack is still a beast, but I think this was a good fit for where Ozzy is right now.
It's not that this album "sounds good, for his age"...it's just GOOD.
Cannot explain my excitement when i see a 17 minute justin hawkins video
That acoustic of yours sounds fantastic,, i need one of those!
I know you can't hear me but every time one of your videos starts, I say "hello my lovely" Sooo enjoy your musings
If I’m correct, I believe the music video does not contain the full song. You should check out the full song, since there are some good parts missing like the rest of Jeff Beck’s solo and a dark Ozzy bit after the solo. Also, I absolutely love this song!
Love so much all your videos!!!!
Oh your voice is beautiful and that gibson sounds wow. Wow.
♡
😂😂🤣😆😄😃 You at the first!😂 You are truly brilliant!! I was disappointed there were no vampires.🤷🏻♀
2:16 "oooooh, I'm so mental" , I laughted too hard with this!
I’m so dumb. Just realized after months of watching your YT that you are nailing the vocals in The Darkness. I dig your band. My wife hates it. She doesn’t get it. Thanks for the content. I front a STP tribute. Dig your falsetto and vocal approach. Brilliant.
Last, not embellishing here…your guitar chops are very impressive. I’m hooked. My buddies are going to dig this channel.
Post some of your STP tribute please.
Had no idea Ozz-Man had new music out, thought he might be done, will have a listen! 🎶 Bat was great, demon was great, the bit at the end knocked it out of the park😂 You are a joy Justin!
I can’t wait for February! Ozzy in Zurich! Gig was originaly planned for 2019! Cool Clip and breakdown as always!
Never thought I would hear ozzie’s music being called “posh” haha … love your honesty and knowledge ❤️🥳❤️
"There's a fucking werewolf in there" That made me howl...(no pun intended) Quality stuff Justin....Loved it...
Hahaha, loving the tshirt! A customer and i were singing similar alternative lyrics to that in my taxi, the other week 🤣😂
They've been playing this song on Kerrang radio a lot this week.
Also, top points for the t-shirt, I want one.
Couldn't see the bottom of your T-shirt, but I'm guessing that it says 'Whoa-oh Living on a Pear', which is excellent.
Justin your channel for me has become a quality staple, thank you. Justin Hawkins rides again, again, Great channel, great content, great guy! 👍👍👍👊✌️. Ps, Life's good, my daughter has just given me a lovely hot double cheese burger from Mc D, lovely guilty pleasure, ( other burger brands are available.). The Ozzy track reviewed sounds great, thanks again. 😁👍👍👍👊✌️.
Love watching you break the song down into it's component parts and working them out in double quick time (I realise there are occasional edits) All of Ozzy's recent albums have been heavily producer orientated but the songs and musicianship never falter. The man is amazing when you consider what he has put himself through in the earlier years. Quick audition for Strictly at the end there Justin!! Which brings me to the question, Would you do Strictly if you were asked? LOL Great stuff as always, from my favourite musician from my favourite band.
I love your voice Justin Hawkins!
I can't be the only one who would love to see Justin react to a King Diamond video.
best youtube channel ever, you are just naturaly funny its amazing, you kick ass justin.
Great videos love watching your analysis. Blows my mind how easy you can just hear it and instantly know what they are playing. Have you done one of these videos on Tool? Do you listen or like them at all? Be cool to hear your thoughts.
I love the gilded wallpaper. Elegance rules.
thanks for the videos Justin, they take my mind off of "things" when "things get too much as they often do in life. You're very much appreciated
I’m glad he’s still making music and is able to sing well and it’s definitely a well put together piece. With that said, I wouldn’t listen to this song more than a couple times. It’s just not my favorite style of rock music and some of his melodic decisions, especially, “and I’m not getting out”, sound a little to modern pop for my taste’s.
It’s a decent song but it starts with him crying for his mommy. Ozzy trying to be scary or creepy comes off as sophomoric. The video is horrible.
First time listening I was like "hmm", then I really liked it, it has a melancholic vibe that gets you through. Ozzy needs to be eternal, gotta love him.
Greetings from Argentina Justin! Hope you come again but not with Gaga, cant afford those tickets, lol.
Great ear on the vocal melody's presentation, the song was (indeed) co-written by producer Andrew Watt.
Does anyone know the significance of the white bird image in the corner? Is it a hawk, as a play on Hawkins? I’m a new fan,
please enlighten me here… Thanks!
Ozzy is such an icon! Man! That was good! I'm surprised cuz...ya know he is getting old but it don't matter! Must be the bat blood! So- what do you mean-posh? Idk if I spelled that right...POSH? POCH?
Ozz did bite the head off of a bat and a dove. He thought the bat was fake as it was thrown on stage while he was performing. He's told the story about the incident and the rabies shots he had to get over the years.
All Ozzy things related aside, that performance of the opening theme tune was Justin's best yet. Proper solid first note - glorious.
Your intro is like the Simpsons when they jump on the sofa at the end of the opening credits
