The first time I saw Ozzy was with Sabbath, then I saw him with Randy Rhodes TWICE ... and been to see him on every tour since
I have seen ozzy 11 times i think .... I might have missed once or twice ...
I have MET the man twice, and have nothing but respect for him.
The coolest meeting was during the filming of TRICK OR TREAT, on the set ...
My friend played bass for "Fastway", the band that was featured in the movie as somebody else, and also supplied the soundtrack.
Ozzy had a cameo in the film as a reverend who was opposed to rock music ... calling it the music of the devil .... the Irony was priceless ...
I walked up to Mr Osbourne and Sharon, and I told him how much of a fan I was, and that I had seen him in concert I think it was like 6 times by then ... Sharon looked at me with bemused puzzlement and asked "Why the fuck would you waste that much money on him ?!?" I almost PISSED myself !!
They are great people. Sharon made Ozzy what he is today... She is like a mentor for me as far as marketing goes ... I can guarantee you that THE OSBOURNES is gonna kick some serious ass !
I think I heard Ozzy will be playing in Hamilton in June or July ... You can bet your ass I will be there ... whether Rollin approves or not !!!
