Best zakk Ozzy album poll

[Techdeth]

Down to Earth is probably underrated, but really suffers from having no songs written by Zakk.

Zakk pitched a few songs for it but Ozzy wanted to use the songs already written, so they ended up on 1919 Eternal instead. Bleed For Me was one of them, and I feel Ozzy dropped the ball on that one.

I do like the the Joe stump written songs on down to earth . A lot

That was me, first Ozzy album I ever listened to so picked it to be sentimental more than anything. Always loved Black Sabbath but never knew a single Ozzy song that wasn't Crazy Train before Black Rain came out, which was shortly after I started getting into metal.

Truthfully though there isn't a single Ozzy album I listen to through and through, its really more like 3 songs from each album.

That’s cool af . I like black rain a lot . It’s heavy af and weird . I like all the albums

I prefer Black Label Society to Ozzy and Black Rain was definitely when Zakk start chugging more. Pretty sure I saw an interview where he said he got kicked out of Ozzy because everything he wrote sounded like BLS lol.

I hate it when someone says something like "the hi-hats are buried" because I never noticed it before and now I'll never NOT notice it again

Sorry bro but yeah it bugs the shit out of me.

It’s so damn good . Though a is no more tears . But no rest is unique af

Yeah man No Rest was the last FULL album from Ozzy I liked. Everything else got progressively more “hit or miss” for me.

NMT for me.

Though I was 12 when Ozzmosis came out and had been playing guitar for a year, it blew my fucking mind. I never heard pick scrapes and pinch harmonics like that, I remember thinking “This sounds wild!” having no clue who Zakk Wylde was. I got that album right about then and it was my first real introduction to Ozzy in the same way Balance was my first real introduction to VH, despite hearing the older songs my entire life previously.

Once I got NMT though, that’s when Zakk went from “Perry Mason sounds cool” to “Zakk’s a big influence”. Love the riffs, tones and layers of guitar on there. Absolutely love his tone on that album so damn much. Someone needs to release the Symphonic preset of the SPX90 in pedal form.

The album I want to hear, though, is the album that was written and demo’d with Vai, before Ozzmosis came out. Vai said he was tuned to C for all of it and it’s the heaviest shit he’s ever done and had a blast with Ozzy writing it, but Epic thought he was too high profile to put next to Ozzy so it’s been sitting in a vault ever since. “My Little Man” is the only thing that made it out of those sessions.

I didnt ever know Vai did anything with Ozzy?

Is there really nothing out there from this mystery demo?

I loved all of big time . I’m too big a fan in that way . I like it for what it is . Starting with ozzmosis ( which I love ) each album after the producers were in charge . Ozzy never hired another guitarist he let run the show after zakk . The whole way shit worked changed
