Ozzy Osbourne

[Vekkuli]

Onko kenelläkään tietoa mahdollisestä lämppäriaktista? Vai pelkkä Ozzy siel saatana?

Tiemmä Medeia. Ovelahko valinta noin tyylisuunnallisesti.

[CreepingDeath]

Medeian kosketinsoittajan naamaa ja tissejä kelpasi kyllä ihastella, mutta muutenhan tuo oli täyttä cacaa.

Ozzy veti kovan setin, eikä vaikuttanut mitenkään väsähtäneeltä (mitä nyt joutui välillä lyyrikoita lunttamaan). Kohokohtana itselleni toimi War Pigs. Yleisökin oli koko illan hyvin mukana. Plussaa myös rumpu- ja kitarasoolospottien lyhyydestä.

Into the Voidin olisivat saaneet vielä soittaa.

[Butch]

War Pigsille toinen ääni keikan kohokohtana. Hitto kun ei tullut otettua kameraan sitä.

Hyvä setti, soundit kuulosti omaan korvaan oikein hyviltä. Mama I'm coming home, War pigs ja Road to nowhere uusina biiseinä verrattuna Ruisrockin settiin. Hyvä niin, mutta pirun ruotsalaiset saivat vielä kolme biisiä näiden lisäksi

Melko outo lavanedusta oli kyllä, todella väljää siinä vitos-kutosrivissä ja kakkosriviin olis päässyt about kävelemällä. Ei sillä että valittaa pitäisi, mukavaahan se vain oli.

[Butch]

Saa nähdä miten Gus G Wyldeä paikkaa. Henk. Koht. en ole koskaan Zakkia pitänyt sopivana Ozzylle, eli parempaa luvassa toivottavasti.

Itse taas olen sitä mieltä, että Zakk W. soittaa Live and Loudilla kitaraa hienommin kuin kukaan muu koskaan ikinä missään. Eli hyvin, hyvin sopiva Ozzylle.

Gus G. paikkasi kyllä kaikesta huolimatta hyvin. Ruisrockissa jäi vähän vaisu kuva miehestä, mutta nyt oli ihan eri tasoinen veto. Toisaalta, taisi olla kuulijakin aika paljon paremmassa vireessä...

[Bruusbruus]

Ozzyhan oli energinen, nyt jäi ämpäri laittamatta päähän kuten Black Sabbathin kanssa 2005. Eka tunti oli hyvää, mutta sitten tuli nämä vaivaannuttavat kitaran vingutus ja rummun paukutus kuviot mukaan, jotta Ozzy pääsi huilaamaan. Ja jotenkin se lätisti koko loppukeikan, ei tuntunut Iron Man:kään yhtään miltään. Minustakin parasta oli War Pigs, ja kun sen perään tuli Shot In The Dark niin kyllä siinä viimeistään huomasi kuinka poppia Ozzyn soolotuotanto onkaan varsinkin kun vertaa Black Sabbathin tuotantoon. Mukavan old school -meininkiähän tuo sinänsäkin on, ettei ole screenejä ja valotkin on suunnilleen kuin 70-luvulta (en tosin käynyt keikoilla vielä silloin..). Hyvin pystyi kuvittelemaan Ozzyn lavalla jossain Birminghamin klubilla, tuohan oli tavallaan kuin iso klubikeikka.

^Itseasiassa kitarasoolo oli omaan korvaani ainakin tällä kertaa mielenkiintoisempi kuin yleensä nuo soolospotit tuppaavat olemaan. Myös rumpusoolo meni ilman suurempia tylsistymisiä läpi, pitäähän Ozzyn kuitenkin saada tarpeeksi pitkä tauko, kun ikää alkaa miehellä jo olla. Muutenkaan ei mene jakeluun, että kun hieman päästetään soittajatkin esittelemään taitojaan niin muka menee fiilis loppukeikasta. Se kyllä on ihan oma asennevamma jos tuon keikan loppupuoli ei muka toiminut täysillä.

Itse keikka oli taattua tavaraa, setti oli riittävän monipuolinen ja Ozzy jaksoi mielestäni vetää yllättävän energisesti. Ehdottomasti koko rahan arvoinen kokemus oli siis kyseessä.

[Bruusbruus]

Muutenkaan ei mene jakeluun, että kun hieman päästetään soittajatkin esittelemään taitojaan niin muka menee fiilis loppukeikasta. Se kyllä on ihan oma asennevamma jos tuon keikan loppupuoli ei muka toiminut täysillä.

Ai se on heti asennevamma jos ei toimi. Ja v---t, jos ei toimi niin sitten ei toimi. Ja tuo kitaran vingutus ja rumpujen paukutus oli ihan sitä samaa kuin kaikilla, helvetin tylsiä olivat eikä ihme, että jengi heti kaikkosi kaljalle. Välillä keikat toimii alusta loppuun, välillä ei. Eilen ei toiminut ja sillä selvä, jos sulla toimi niin hyvä, mielipiteitähän on monia.

[maidenpoker]

^Jaa no enpä nyt menisi sanomaan, että on ihan samaa kaikilla. Vai vertaatko tosissasi esimerkiksi Neil Peartin rumpusooloja jonkun kasaribändin puukätisen kannuttajan paukutukseen(tällä ei siis viitata keneenkään rumpaliin erityisesti).

[Hunks Ossi]

Huh huh!

Olipahan kova keikka ozzylta. Itse herra oli jopa yllättävän hyvässä äänenvireessä. Vaikka ei kai kukaan Ozzyn keikalla täydellistä laulua odotakkaan. Myös orkestin näytti ja kuullosti hyvältä. Varsinkin tämä rumpali Tommy (sukunimeä en muista) oli yhden keikan perusteella aika kova kannuttaja. Ja soittikos Wakeman kitara Sabbathin biiseissä vai näinkö harhoja?

Ehdottomia kohokohtia olivat I Don't Know, War Pigs, Shot in the Dark ja hieman yllättäen myös pakollinen Mama i'm Coming Home.

Rahanarvoinen kokonaisuus.

Tämän How?:n video tuolla, sympaattista köpöttelyä

[Osiris]

Tuli nyt laitettua juutubeen muutama video konkarin viime Suomen keikasta Hartwall Areenalla. Linkki videoihin löytyy tästä ja aikaa säästääkseni en laittanut näitä tuonne nyt 720 HD:nä vaan ihan 480. Kuva ja ääni yhä OK.

[Jyyd]

On tullut viime aikoina fiilisteltyä Ozzyn livevetoja vuodelta 1995 eteenpäin, etenkin nuo Ozzmosis tourin vedot nappaa, koska kitaran varressa oli nuori Joe Holmes: vitun kovaa settiä vetää!

Jeps, näio. Hyvä juttu, niin mie viime keikankin täpärästi missanneena näen sedän vielä livenä. Toivotaan hyvää settiä tälle ensimmäiselle (ja viimeiselle?) Ozzy-kerralle.

Tällaista ennakkotietoa löytyi netin syövereistä, boksi ja uudet laajennetut CD-versiot klassikkoalbumeista julkaistaan keväällä. Daisley & Kerslake pääsevät yhdeksän vuoden tauon jälkeen taas ääneen.

This live CD showcases the power and intensity of an Ozzy Osbourne performance from 1981, with legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads at his side and the solid rhythm section of Tommy Aldridge (drums) and Rudy Sarzo (bass). Thirty years ago this line up stormed across the U.S. like a Blizzard, leaving audiences in complete awe. Mixed by Kevin Churko, who produced Ozzy's latest release "Scream" as well as 2007's "Black Rain". These never before released performances sound fresh and exciting, it's hard to believe they're 30 years old."

When i seen them it didnt say anything about live 81 cd, just said along the lines of 'double sided poster, 100 page coffee table book, free cross, original diary 180gram lp(no bonus stuff), original blizzard 180gram lp(no bonus), blizzard expanded cd (live in southampton) as in one the photos,diary expanded with dvd doc , 30 years after the blizzard.

CD-versioissa bonareita, 180 g vinyylit sisältävät vain alkuperäiset biisit mutta aukeavat kannethan noissa näyttäisi olevan toisin kuin alkuperäisissä painoksissa. DVD:n sisällöstä ei ole vielä tarkkaa tietoa mutta kyseessä ilmeisesti dokari, joka kantaa työnimeä "30 Years After the Blizzard".

Sanomattakin selvää, ovat jo hankintalistan kärjessä.

Yksi arvostelu boxista:

Ozzy Osbourne
30th anniversary deluxe box set
(Epic Records/Sony Music)

Pinnacle moments in metal history; you know the one that that make you stand back and say "mother fuck yeah" are what releases like these are about! Now for some of you that are younger and newer to music from this era in time this may not be as ground breaking as it is to us crazy ass old metal farts, but for us this is like going from the invention of the wheel to fucking 12 Playboy Bunnies on the hood of a lamborghini! I remember being 5 years old and hearing Crazy Train for the first time on the radio while being told that he was the crazy singer formerly of Black Sabbath that now bites the heads off of bats, and thinking "wow, this is the fucking best thing ever!" Hell, some of us have heard these on every format available from Vinyl, 8 track, cassette tape, first generation cd, crappy re-masters, those shit fuck rerecorded bass/ drum versions, and now finally a totaly bad ass re-master of the original master tapes of 'Blizzard of Ozz' and Diary of a Madman.'

Ok, lets jump straight in to these luscious releases of metal orgasmic thunder. Now i'm gonna compare both Blizzard and Diary to the sound quality of the last re-masters of these releases just to be fair on how fair of a evolution of sound quality it has undergone. The First and biggest noticeable difference is the volume. In the previous re-masters, yes it was cleaner and clearer than the orginals without a doubt, minus the handicap of course of a cd's sample rate but that's a whole other issue by itself, but anyway the points is the volume was just piss fucking poor. Volume is more than acceptable on both Blizzard and Diary; since like i said it was a huge problem on the last releases if you tried to put them on a portable device such as a ipod you just could not get it to a comfortable jamming mode. Well ok, so we can now jam it loud but what about the sound quality? HA HA I'm glad you asked, let me just say -

"It's the devil screaming..."
"It's an angel singing!"
"It is the pounding of creations hammer, on the anvil of time!"
"It's fucking awesome!"

Yes it is 99% fucking perfect and maybe 100% ; "WAIT WTF DO YOU MEAN MAYBE?" ok let me explain what I mean here, all the sound quality in the re-mastering including the mixing volume leveing are flawess but I found a possible flaw in the first track of Blizzard ("I Dont Know") at 17 seconds in that sounds like a popping sound but im not sure what is, since I can't hear in the last remasters, and I dont have onther copy of the disk to compare it too, I can't tell if it is a imperfection in the disk that Sony sent us or a problem in the pressing. Hopefully, if i can get my hands on another copy I will add to this review later to update you on this, but for most of you without dog ears like me you wont even notice!

Now moving forward, now we now know its loud and it is clean and crystal fucking clear but what effect does it have on us now? Well let me tell you, ever since the incident of those fucking rerecorded atrocities of the bass and drum tracks on blizzard/diary I was exteamly turnned off of any Ozzy of any kind, not to mention the whole Sharon Osbourne/ Iron Maiden soap opera which just drove the nail into the coffin which in turn iced the preverbal cake into me totally not listening to any Ozzy since about 2005.

Until I started playing Brutal Legend, which i would like to thank King Diamond for suggesting to me, because with out him telling me about the games developing being under way at the time I had interviewed him, I would have probably never had cared enough to take the time look at the game let alone the Xbox 360. If it were not for playing Brutal legend and hearing "Believer" again for the first time in a long time, I would not have had the urge to get back into listening to Metal again let alone want to hear Ozzy; thus me asking to check out this release. So thank you to all of those in those chain of events from editor Dave Necro to King Diamond, the developers of Brutal Legend, Ozzy/Randy for making such beautiful music to begin with, and those all who worked on the re-mastering process of this box set for renewing my faith in the Ozz-man!

Ok, lets see if we can get back on track here LOL! The point here is this hearing these Cd's in such a brilliant yet crisp aspersion of pure nostalgic bliss in the presentation of sound that almost makes it sound like it was recorded yesterday thus giving the feeling of a 1,000 year classic born yesterday, and in turn giving you the feeling of need to change your pants because you just made stains of complete joy in them. Also in this release, is the release of both Blizzard/Diary on re-mastered vinyl but unfortunately we were not able to obtain a copy of these from the recorded company. So, I cant say for sure what those sound like, but if it is at least 1% of the quality went into these that went into the cd's, all i can say from that guess is that you would be in for a treat of epic proportions!

More; Wait More? Yes much more LOL!

A live cd frome the 'Blizzard of Ozz' tour is also included in this box which just sounds so raw but rich in a powerfully nostalgic way that just wisps you away from the fuck of the world we live in but instead get the feeling of being transported back in time to a Ozzy concert you wanted to go to when you were a kid and for some reason missed, but now you are given a ticket to that concert any time you want so just close your eyes and enjoy your special seat in the arena of the past. So far it seems like a totally justified rerelease box set that is worth it no matter the price as far as im concerned, minus the possible flaw in Blizzard, but even if that is a fuck up it is still by far the best release of the first 2 albums that has ever been assembled.

Now besides the bonus of the live cd and the 2 vinyl's, there are other jewels in here such as the 100-page Coffee table and the full-sized detailed replica of ozzy's iconic cross. Which I would love to tell you about, but like the vinyls we didn't receive it. so i can't tell you anything about them but I'm sure it is got to be at the least a nice addition to your ozzy collection.

Here is something I found to be a little considerably out of place in this re-master themed box set, and that is the dvd special that is included. I know what you're thinking, "what's wrong with getting a a bonus dvd special in a re-mastered box set?" Well let me tell you, everything I have heard has been cleaned to the point in quality that it matches the whole brought to you in hd feel until this point and here is what i mean - if they had just taken a little more time and effort they could have cleaned some of this old footage just a little bit more, and the same for the newly shot footage just for this vid; they could have at least pressed a standard 720p BD. Now that would be a little more acceptable considering that everything else is so in the now sound, that I think if I would play any thing else from this box for my 12 year old son he would be like, "wow dad this ozzy cover band sounds flawless but even the footage of the recent interviews in this dvd just wont hold on a passable mark on a standard hd tv."

Though the video is a dvd insted of a BD dont let that disstract you to much from what is contained in the contents of this 41 minute special about the begings of on how these first 2 ozzy cd's came to be and here what people like Steve Vai, Lemmy, Rob Halford, Bill Ward, and others have to say about Ozzy and Randy's influence was on them, not to mention on the world itself. Ok, the fact that Sharon Osbourne pisses me off in multitude of ways is no secret, but even I will say that she was very good in these dvd but just for the fact that she was very informative and yes if it wasnt for her Ozzy probably would have never come back after Sabbath. So yes, I understand that, though I still cant fucking stand for a lot of the shit she has pulled over the years. But, that is just me, I give her credit where credit is due. One of the things I liked the most on the dvd was watching Ozzy sitting down and listening to the old raw takes from albums. Especially when it came down to them listening to "Suicide Solution" during the part where Ozzy was blamed for using the oh so infamous technique of Hemi-Sync where they claimed Ozzy said "you got to get the gun, shoot shoot shoot" and actually hear what was said! LMAO WOW!

Now I am going to wrap this up with the best part of this entire box set, and that is the bonus track included on the 'Blizzard of Ozz' cd. Ok out of the 3 bonus tracks one of them is the whole reason to buy this box; wait - what's that? you want to know which one? well sit down and shut the hell up and i might be nice enough to tell you, but first we are going to start with track #10 which is entitled (You looking at me, looking at you) which was previously unreleased in the U.S until now. But either way I had never heard this track before and to be honest it's not bad at all but it's not going to make love stains in you pants though. Next Skipping track 11 (becuase i am saving the best for last) is Track #12 a little Randy Rhoads solo outtake which is fucking great to hear something from randy you haven't heard before! Now for best part, and that is unless you have forgotten how to count, is track #11 (Goodbye to Romance - 2010 guitar & vocal mix). From the moment this track starts, it feels and sounds like dream come true; a ascension to a magical land where Ozzy and Randy have reunited to jam this song one last time just for you. Let me tell you, I have played the shit out of this song, and everytime I hear it the more it feels like I am sitting in the studio right now hearing it as it's being recorded! And with that said, all thats left is to say is buy it! It is so worth it! -DW

Vinkkinä voin viskaista myös itse, että kannattaa ostaa nuo uudet versiot kahdesta ekasta. Eivät ole ikinä kuulostaneet CD:llä niin hyvälle kuin nyt.
Diary of a Madmanin mukana tullut live kuulostaa raa'alta, eikä niin korjatulta kuin tribute.
