I was having a mooch through Limewire the other day looking for some unusual King Crimson titbits and I came across Ozzy's fairly recent cover tribute to "21st Century Schizoid Man". As I haven't followed the great man's fortunes since the Mighty Sabs and a few solo live shows in the early '80s I did a bit of research and as it happens it comes from an Ozzy retrospective whereby he salutes his influences and contemporaries (mostly John Lennon and Paul McCartney).
I always thought KC 'borrowed' from The Sab Four. Maybe I was mistaken.
Your thoughts Ladies and Gents ?

I understand Robert Fripp once expressed a liking for death metal.....

I think his cover is god awful. No more Jazz fusion, just a god-awful nu-metal breakdown. Ozzy should quit before he further ruins his legacy as a rock god.

As much as I like Sabbath and Ozzy, he really butchered "Schizoid Man".
Voivod did a much better version.

April Wine's cover of that song isn't bad, I haven't heard the Ozzy one

His next two albums, 'No more tears' and 'Ozzmosis', are among his best IMO.

I second that thought! Love both bands, but I've never thought of one while listening to the other.

Ozzy produced great disks in the 80's
even his last one is fairly good...
but with things like the Osbournes...
musically though he has his merit in heavy metal history

Ah, he confused me by mentioning it straight after Lennon & McCartney. I thought it might be a typo.
