Awesome! One of the Godfathers of Heavy Metal! Yeah, he's a laugh riot when he speaks but he's made some incredible albums throughout his years. Gotta snag tickets to that!

Why is Donny Osbourne dressed up like that? Must be his wife. But seriously...

Altria and ProudKoreanGuy,
I think Ozzy has mellowed a bit. Instead of a bat, maybe he'll eat some natto onstage or something.

This guy should be banned from Japan and the US. He was a heavy drug taker, and alcoholic, he also constantly sears and is a bad example to youngsters.
Japan doesn`t need to be influenced by this freak show.

Afterthought
Ozzy understands, and always understood, that music cannot be sold to kids if the musicians creating it don`t shock their parents (or at least conservative parents, and boring conformist-types). Over the years I have been to many live performances, rock shows, etc., and few performers can get the crowd going like Ozzy. He is simply a very gifted performer who really loves his work (which is why he gets he still regularily tours even into his later years). He also hires to play with him some of the best current rock musicians in the world. If you have a chance to see him perform live, you should not miss it, as it is always a memorable event. Regarding his drug and alcohol abuse, I would note that Ozzy (in both his interviews and in his music) has always been forthright and honest about how drugs and alcohol have damaged and nearly destroyed his life; I believe it is profitable for young people to listen to his frank stories and hopefully learn from them. Ozzy is a fantastic entertainer, and anyone who cares to learn about him him will find he is such a great entertainer, just as he is also an imperfect father, husband, and rather sad and tragic man, who plays for listeners young and old, kings and trashcollectors alike.
