Ozzy died…

[Infernal_Death]

Definitely a sad day. Although as some mentioned already, its crazy to think that he actually got that old.

Was at the Pantera show last night. Planet caravan felt a little more special.

Ozzy was 5 years away from turning 27 for a third time.

He had more mileage on him than that whole club did.

First Malcolm Jamal Warner and now this?

Even Bob Daisley opted to keep it classy. Nice to see.

I think it hits hard. And this is not even my favorite hero. Times gonna be hard. No one to take over.

Bob has always said he considers Ozzy a mate and has great memories of working with him for years ... he just didn't like the business side of the osbourne operation that ripped him (and others) off

So I guess it’s starting to sink in. Lots of mixed emotions, but mostly sad to see the end of an era in music that will never be again. I don’t really know for sure how many times I’ve seen him but I think 11 times. Strangely enough I never got to see him with Randy, he left us before I got to see him and he was a huge influence. I saw him with Jake when he was just finding his feet and was out for blood, he was crushing it. Same for Zakk, the first time I saw him he was absolutely on fire. I remember seeing Brad Gillis with him and he had the most crushing Boogie tone I’d ever heard at that point in a live setup.
Hearing those songs with that tone was a real treat, and while I didn’t expect Brad to come out and stun me he absolutely did.
And then, Joe Holmes…
Holy shit!
One of the best live tones I’ve ever heard bar none. It was as near to perfect as is possible in a place that big, and he delivered it by the metric ton. He didn’t even seem to be concerned with it at the time, I guess he was used to it but I nearly pissed myself his tone was so good…
I’m gonna leave out negative business shit that happened, we all know it did and this is probably not the place for it.. it’s all been said enough times already.

In remembrance I opened up the windows of the studio and played War Pigs for the entire city where I live, 3000 watts through EAW FR253’s, hi passed at 80hz and 7500 watts low passed to a JBL SR-X twin 15 stadium sub so loud I’m pretty sure Ozzy heard it
I hope he did anyway..

I bet Zakk’s a wreck

Loyal to the end

I’m sure he’s decimated beyond all conceivable and comprehensional doubt. Ozzy helped build his entire career.

I did see him at Ozzfest 2000 with Joe Holmes; Pantera opening up for Oz. I think my eyes watered I was so happy

Just saw Jake's post.

“Still processing it. The finality of it hits me in waves. This was a text I got from him as I was sitting in an airport headed back home two weeks ago:
‘Hi jake im so sorry i couldnt spend more time with you on the weekend but it was really caotic, i would really like to see you when i eventually get back TO LA just to shoot the shit. its been so long since we saw each other , where have are you living these days , because the last thing i herd was you were living in Las Vegas . How did the gig go for you on Saturday i really hope you had fun anyway i will text you when i eventually get back to LA and we must hook up much love and respect OZZY.”

Pretty good innings if you think about it. If you plot "crazy shit" against "years lived"...

He seemed to have a good heart.
