Remembering a time when people were scared shitless of OZZY

Posted on November 11th, 2008

Yesterday we posted a new commercial featuring the Prince of Darkness, OZZY OSBOURNE acting like a bumbling idiot who nobody can understand. That is not the Ozzy that I remember! The Ozzy I remember is coherent, hilarious and scares older folks. Thus, I went on a journey to prove this and found this amazing video clip, of an interview Ozzy did a few months after Randy Rhodes died. The interview is really compelling, as Ozzy really opens up and talks about how people were treating him. Keep in mind, in 1982 people thought Ozzy Osbourne was the devil, not in a cute Hot Topic way, but in a literal "Oh My God, my children will kill themselves if they listen to his music" kind of way. And, that's way we like him!

Great interview, he comes across as an intelligent guy. Pity he's become something of a self parody in recent years, despite never taking himself too seriously.

Heres the thing i always wondered. How the fuck did someone manage to bring a live bat into a show?
