 Topic: Ozzy covers 21st Century Schizoid Man
Posted: November 12 2005 at 21:19 |

What do you think of Ozzy Osborne's version, or the fact that he is covering a King Crimson song?
It is on his new covers album, "Under Cover".
I've only heard a little blurb of it on a commercial, and it sounded fine.

It's utter crap, heard it at a hardcore club. He botches the original.

I kind of doubt Ozzy could do that song well, but if it introduces King Crimson to people who otherwise wouldnt have heard of them then yeah go for it Ozzy.

If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

This cover is a real sh*t, everything sound like sh*t, the guitar sound like a bad metal cover and is full of cliché, ozzys voice really don't fit and the backing vocal suck a lot too. This is an insult to this beautiful King Crimson song. that's it.

I'm just looking for the song right now. I agree that Ozzy missed the time to quit, but you can't deny his major role in the rock music sene. He truly deserves our respect as an artist, even if you don't like heavy metal. Ozzy rules! Sharon sucks!

Haven't heard it yet, don't want to. Hearing crappy covers on good songs usually ruins the song somewhat.

I haven't heard it... but I'm interested in hearing it. I mean, I doubt
it's going to turn out like the random emo bands covering various
classic rock songs (Boys of summer, We can work it out, etc.). I'm sure
it won't live up to the original, obviously, but it could be fairly
worthwhile. I mean, "Dragon attack" and "Working man" were pretty good.

I heard it once and didn't like it at all. Very disappointing 'cause I do like Ozzy but not in this case......
