Ozzy not to sing ever again
 

Apparently Ozzy may not sing again after his quad bike accident, good or bad?

Re: Ozzy not to sing ever again
 

Is what he does now actually considered singing?

Shows how much you know. I bet you've never even heard him sing.

For me he's always been about the image and the presence (charisma) more so than being someone with great vocal talent. Personally I think he is a terrible singer, but his voice perfectly fits his music and personality...

I prefer DIO, Ian gillan or Ray Gillian (that right?), Glenn Hughes as Black Sabbath singers although I'm aware that their contributions to BS were not as well valued as the classic lineup. That said "Heaven and Hell" is a really good album!

Aloha !

That's what I thought too.

first person iv heard say that in a while lol, was his voice any good? (you went to a show didnt you?! :? ) heard he was in terrible voice recently

Ozzy and Kellys singles out soon people will prob buy it cos of whats happened to oz, even though its awful.

I am a huge Sabbath and Ozzy fan. I still wonder how you think he is "terrible". I don't like any of the guys you mentioned.Dio was crap....oh my God. He did the best job on DEHUMANIZER with Computer God being one of my fave songs but the rest of them...hell no! Whn Bon SCott died AC/DC replaced him with a very similar voice.I don't know wht Iommi had in mind when putting tha Ronnie James Dio in the Sabbath line up. I really can't listen to him. He sounds like a dying crow.

Ian Gillan is a huge vocalist...but i can't get him in the Sabbath image. he just doesn't fit.He is deep Purple's man. At least he wasn't very long around.
Glenn Hughes same story as Gillan only that he is vocally waaay under Gillan. And i never really liked him, not in Purple, not in Sabbath not even as a person.



If Ozzy won't be abl;e to sing again, it's as the Elvis had died. He is in my opinion the GREATEST ROCKSTAR of all time. The best FRONTMAN i have evr seen...and one of the most original voices ever.

He's been suffering lately from the AEROSMITH syndrom but he definetly is the one who DEFINED HEAVY METAL, vocally,emotionally and charismatically.

THANK GOD FOR THE OZZMAN!

oh, and it's Ray Gillen and i wonder how you prefer him as BLACK SABBATH singer when he was around for only 5 or 6 months and he didn't record anything.If you have some bootlegs,I'd like to hear them aswell.....

Actually he did record whole bunch of demos with Sabbath, I should have something somewhere if u need 'em. Also some live stuff. and demos done with sad case named Jeff Fenholt. Also, world famous 92-11-14 Costa Mesa show, where Rob Halford filled in after Dio left.

85-xx-xx Star Of India - Seventh Star Demos (Jeff Fenholt on vocals)
86-04-28 Ray Gillen Years - San Antonio, Texas + Demos
86-05-25 - Birmingham (Ray Gillen)

I haven't heard anything about that he stops singing again.

Yesterday they said on the radio that he will become healthy again. So if he stops singing it's because he wants to and not because of he can't anymore. That may be of course.

I watched Bruce Springssteen's DVD today and thought that it is unbelievable that Ozzy and Bruce are the same age. Ozzy is like a 90 year old man compared to Bruce.

no ozzy just abused hos body in a much bigger way, bruce is suprisingly fit and managed his HUGE world tour over the last two years and ozzy says himself he struggles each night...he is in hospital 15 mins from my house in slough lol how cool

I think its a shame if he never sings again,never mind if you dont like to hear him sing thats what he loves the best and it looks like he has lost it :?

He is like a living ad of why not to do drugs. :(

while not wanting to get all moralistic n all here the guy has lived a privilidged life and still managed to destroy a big part of it ie his health and mental state through no ones fault but his own, there's not much difference between hima dn the guys who come into my work stinking of pish trying to buy cans of super lager except ozzy's famous and got money.

and he's never been a great singer, fair enough he can sing the notes but there's abig difference and there's a reason for his voice being drenched in chorus in every single song.

ozzy was lucky not to be paralysed for life
 

anyone who gets a broken neck always risks the chance of being physically disabled- Ozzy was lucky not to sever the nerves in his spine yet get a broken vertabrae.
Ozzy in the 70's with Sabbath and early 80's with Diary of a Madman and Blizzard of Oz had two great albums.
However after the death of Rhandy Rhodes (In my opinion one of the best young guitarists of his generation- I saw the Madman tour 81-82 at glasgow Apollo- one of my best concerts ever)
Afterwards the drugs and booze condemned this once great singer to mediocricy.
The odds on the man going out and singing live again are pretty poor, he is in his late 50's with very poor health.
I remember years ago I was in a army lorry crash (my mate was driving, I was stuck in the middle and my best mate was on the pax side. The truck- a ten tonner went off the road at around 40 miles per hour, hit some trees and overturned. My best mate died as the truck door burst opened and he fell out underneath only to be crushed.
I got a broken arm , smashed ribs and heavily bruised body.
My other mate the driver suffered massive internal and external injuries and broke his neck.
Today, he can only speak in a whisper although his nerves connected to his spine were not severed, otherwise he would be in a wheelchair like Chris Reeves actor.
The british army was always pish poor on training soldiers to drive Heavy Goods vehicles (especially as we never got arctic or desert courses.
Three weeks after enlisting, they stuck me on a coach carrying over 30 pax and told me to drive without any L plates and an experianced driver to supervise.
but that is the British army for you.
You learn to drive heavy vehicles (otherwise you get the shit thrown at you by your superiors)
but Ozzy
here is what Simon cowell said about him

Accident 'nearly killed' Osbourne


Sharon Osbourne flew from Los Angeles to be with her husband
Rock star Ozzy Osbourne stopped breathing and his heart stopped beating after his quad bike accident on Monday, his wife Sharon has told a newspaper.
"He had stopped breathing for a minute and a half and there was no pulse," she told the Daily Mirror.

"But thank God, the security guard was there to revive him," she said.

Doctors at the Berkshire hospital where Osbourne is being treated say he is being weaned off a ventilator and is "progressing well, but slowly".

"With each day he becomes less dependent on the ventilator," the hospital's medical director, Dr Dick Jack, said.

But "it is still too early to take him off entirely," he said.


I apologise unreservedly and wish Ozzy a speedy recovery

Simon Cowell
Pop Idol judge
Meanwhile, Pop Idol judge Simon Cowell has apologised for joking on BBC Radio Five Live that Osbourne's accident may have been a stunt to boost record sales.

"Some people may even say he fell off on purpose," Cowell told DJ Simon Mayo on Tuesday. "It is going to help his record sales."

His comments provoked a furious response from Sharon Osbourne.

"If I could tar and feather him and handcuff him to lamppost in Piccadilly, I would do it this instant," she told the Mirror.

Cowell later recanted his remarks. "I had no idea that Ozzy was seriously ill. I apologise unreservedly and wish Ozzy a speedy recovery," he told the tabloid's reporter.

Emergency surgery

The singer and TV star fractured eight ribs and a vertebra in his neck in the accident.

Sharon Osbourne told the newspaper her husband "stopped breathing and the guard spotted it immediately".

"He resuscitated him and got him breathing and his pulse going again. We are so, so grateful to him," she said.

Ozzy Osbourne had emergency surgery after the crash to restore the flow to a damaged blood vessel.

His wife said the crash happened as he drove over uneven ground, and the bike landed on top of him.

Thumbs-up

"The doctors are hoping there hasn't been any lasting damage, but until Ozzy can actually come round and get off the ventilator and then they will know," she said.

On Thursday, the couple's daughter, Kelly, said her father was awake and feeling better because he had moaned about the nurses.

"He gave me the thumbs-up and stuck his tongue out at me," she said.

Osbourne, singer with heavy metal band Black Sabbath, has enjoyed renewed success in recent years because of the MTV reality show based around his family life in Los Angeles.

Re: Ozzy not to sing ever again
 

Actually I have heard Ozzy sing. And I do know something about singing since I have taken vocal training before. My original comment was meant as a joke. I'm sorry if it came across as some insult towards Ozzy. That wasn't my intention

Stephanie

yeah...wow.i have absolutely no bootleg with Ray Gillen....I'll PM you....

Ozzy is great at wot he does and itd be a shame if he doesnt sing again

How can u say he cant sing??

Ozzy rocks..

I'm sure he will sing again.

Hope ur right marky!

Damn it's just hrs since I called u annoying, don't go spoiling your image by posting things that I just have to agree with!

Ozzy is absolutely great, not the best singer there is, but, he sure can take his audience. With him it's more about charisma. Besides, doing the rock'n'roll life for YEEARS might mess up everyone. Just think abour how things were when he started, based on that, he's doing ok, at least way better than Morrison, Cobain and so on.......
