OZZY OSBOURNE


Establishing himself as heavy metal's Prince of Darkness early on as vocalist for the genre-defining Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne has shown an un-killable perseverance as he remained one of metal's most powerful voices for over 50 years and became an international multimedia superstar along the way. After parting ways with Sabbath in 1979, Osbourne quickly launched a solo career, burning through the '80s in a storm of controversy and substance abuse while making some landmark albums like 1980's Blizzard of Ozz and 1981's Diary of a Madman. Ozzy's impeccable showmanship and knack for surrounding himself with star-powered guitarists like Randy Rhoads and Zakk Wylde kept him in the charts and playing stadiums throughout the '90s, and the antics of his family were captured on the MTV series The Osbournes, making him part of the reality TV wave of the 2000s.

Things start to improve for Ozzy on No Rest for the Wicked, as Zakk Wylde replaces Jake E. Lee on guitar and Osbourne comes up with his best set since 1983. Again, it's not quite up to the level of excellence his Blizzard of Ozz band achieved, but Osbourne sounds somewhat rejuvenated, and Wylde is a more consistently interesting guitarist than Lee. Highlights include "Miracle Man" (in which Ozzy gloats about the downfall of the TV preachers who had long attacked him as an agent of Satan) and the MTV hits "Crazy Babies" and "Breaking All the Rules"...(AllMusic)
