Rest In Peace – Ozzy Osbourne

  

Rest In Peace – Ozzy Osbourne

After discovering so much metal and so much heavy music, it was slowly moving back towards the roots of it all that made me discover Black Sabbath. The bigger than life character on MTV had never interested me, but hearing him sing, wail and emote over those early Sabbath riffs like in N.I.B. or Evil Woman was what made me fall in love with Sabbath and Ozzy. The awe and understanding came from those first tones of the opening Black Sabbath track though. "What is this that stands before me?" will forever be remembered as the first track that sent shivers down my spine. The ominous church bell first, the thunder that follows, the mournful guitar tones and then that voice... No escape possible...  

Farewell dear Ozzy....

Thank you for ALL the music...
