Doc, interesting reads. Ozzy was clearly in his angry drunk phase. This edge may have given him the motivation to create two classic albums with Randy.

Did everyone get into Joe's contest for a copy of "Going Through Changes" book? Supposedly (according to Twitter) he's picked the winners and is waiting for confirmation from the book company. Good luck to all who entered.
Hi Turch, I didn’t even know Joe had this contest going, my copy will be arriving in the mail, there is a delay for about five to seven days.
There is now a book of rather the same detail as the Sabbath coffee table book for Ronnie James Dio, by the same publishing company.
"Without Black Sabbath there never would have been an Ozzy, and without Ozzy there never would have been a Black Sabbath"
"If there ever was a band whose voice is so significant and distinct, that band is Black Sabbath and the voice is Ozzy Osbourne"

It is his career spanning from 1975 in Rainbow to 2009 Heaven and Hell, which of course is Black Sabbath.

Hope this helps.

Good to see everyone getting along .... it's so easy for people to "dish" people , but it's so beautiful when people "embrace" each other .... Kudos to those who can , and pray for those who don't.
GREAT NEWS .... AND IOMMI is never solo , he is always SABBATH ...

Doctor John my good friend and beloved brother for always and eternity I can only embrace and express Sweetness and love to those who have turned away and spread ill gossip, as I had done towards you, when I was in my darkest of depths, for they need embracing and saving more than anyone, as I did till the light shone upon me, as Jesus Christ embraced and loved Judas till the day he was crucified on the cross, so will I to those who seek us harm, for they need love and embracing more than anyone, for the blackness they keep in their hearts.
With these words I speak to you here on the listen, I will touch no more upon the subject and pray for those who wish us harm and ask forgiveness for them, for they know not what they do.
AMEN to you my brother and praise be to you Doctor John who have forgiven and embraced us all and continue to do so despite the harm and hatred that keeps being thrown at us.

Your amongst friends my brother ... people who love n share , not spread hate , keep your head high , shoulders BACK and ENJOY the Sabbath experience with us!
MY brother , thank you for such unexpected kind words .... what sparked such beautiful thoughts ,, forgiveness is always key now and "After Forever" - speaking of The Sab's , once again I must tell you and thank you for keeping this place on fire! Today I log in to 33 people reading The Listen and 152 online!
Could not agree more my Sabbath brother!! ... only problem was his counterpart was creating 2 masterpieces that still sound ahead of their times and fresh as ever today.
Sabman , love when you chime in , your one of the best members these boards have ever seen ... I always said - you , Sweet , Turch and Vynlsol were special ,, 3 left (tho pop in) , yet you remain strong , loyal and true! Respect my brother!
God Bless Sabbath maniacs
Those words are meant from my heart Doc, and also to brother Turch and Sweet to whom I’ve never done anything to but be respectful and courteous, I guess he feels the need to join the others who are no longer here with us in trying to provoke in some of my posts, but it’s all good Doc, I’m past all the that now and my main focus on here is to keep things going, not to give into people’s pettiness or whatever chip they may have on their shoulders.
I meant what I told Turch over on my Ozzy Blizzard, Diary Thread, if he doesn’t want to accept what I said there, that’s good too, I have no quarrels with him or anyone else.
I’m here to enjoy Sabbath.
As always it was great talking to you this morning Doc, have a great rest of your weekend.

I haven't gone anywhere. I'm juggling a full schedule of work and study, while trying to keep some health issues at bay. Posting on forums is something I unfortunately can't devote as much time to at present, but my love for Black Sabbath is as it always was.
OID, thanks for your well wishes. My health issues are rather at the moment, but I'm still exploring options for treatment, lest they get worse.

Your health is most important Sweet. I hope those options for treatment make themselves known soon. All the best my friend.
Doc, I appreciate the compliment. Problem? Not at all, two excellent albums from both Ozzy and Black Sabbath, with Dio. Back in the day, I bought Diary when it was released and then Mob Rules.
It is great to hear that Tony continues to work on new material.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rol...ur-736449/amp/ .... Wish Ozzy well!
God Bless you my good man .... a true gentleman while being true to yourself and remaining a Sabbath maniac!
Fantastic ... totally classic post my brother!!! .... all of you's
MY BROTHER ..... Roseland n Verona clubs are open house at all times .... you would love!
MY good man , I meant jumping ship for "the closet" ,, too much respect for you otherwise , always in the highest regards .... "The Listen" you used to call home and run the show , so anytime you drop BACK in , I smile!
PM me , what and how can I help with what you are going through .... Jesus carries you always , but especially now my brother.
ABSOLUTELY deservingly so when it comes to who you are my man!! .... As for "problem" , not for us - but for their feud - and in this case the Sabbath Album's run ahead and away by a large margin ...... ( tho Diary is one of the greatest NON Sab releases of all time).
God Bless

Of the 16 songs recorded for "13", do we know which 4 Ozzy wrote the lyrics to? Methademic is one, right?
Can anyone name a Sabbath track AS GOOD AS or BETTER THAN .... SINS OF THE FATHER ,, be honest with yourself before answering....
You got it brother!!
BOOOOOOOOM! Awesome my Sabbath maniac!!
Some believe he had a hand in , and may even get credit for it somewhere - but it is not the case with - "Dear Father" and "Moon Winnebago" ....
..... BUT YES TO - "Fountain Pen" , "Live Forever" , "Methademic" , "Isolated Man" ,,,, but even these 4 were NOT a solo effort.
GREAT QUESTION!
SABBAAAAAAAAAATH!!
I'm aware of the NIB reference, so maybe it refers to NIB2?
Good job T!!
Great job!! .... "Epic" = what track ??
"Letters From Earth" .... is the game called "The End" , is that it's name OR is the game just over , "the end" ??
"Come on it's another game
But you gotta play on
Cause they say it's just pretend
Ask them why they say you'll never, never die
Come on the game is called the end ...."
.... the clue is found on the alternate version of "Letters From Earth" ,,, any takers ??
Side Note - Kansas ,, wow - extreme talent!
