Someone asked me why I watch so many different people reacting to the same songs over and over. My answer has several parts: validation that I enjoy good music, enjoying music for the "first time" vicariously through other people, and knowledge and insight of what that music means to others.
Same bro i just love the reaction of others first time listening to it like i did some even are even more hype which just makes me love the song more because how it reaches so many people of different cultures and all
Zakk is a monster, but Randy was.. special. Please dont take that as an insult to Zakk, hes a fantastic guitarist but Randy was probably the best metal guitarist ever, hell he's my favorite overall. Dee is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, and to me, Over the Mountain is the STANDARD for metal guitar.
Zakk Wylde is on guitar. He's an amazing guitar player and a real down-to-earth dude. His down-tuned tone is dark, thick and bad to the bone...perfect for Ozzy!
Cool reaction, good analysis. In a sea of moronic reactors barely boppin' their heads to whatever song will get them most views you stand out... keep it up.
I've always felt this is an introspective look into the mind of a serial killer (his internal conversation with a recent female victim). "No More Tears" appears to be a reference to an end to suffering via death (to me anyway).
Zakk Wylde... Holy. shit. Dude just MURDERED that guitar solo (of course). Still gives me goosebumps- Wylde's an absolute madman. One of the 10 best rock guitar solos ever in my opinion.
Ozzy had the ability to be referred to as the "Prince of Darkness" while having some of the catchiest pop riffs in metal songs. Another band that could be both brooding yet catchy was Type O Negative. Their songs "Love You to Death" and "Christian Woman" have that kinda simultaneously dark yet very melodic songs.
Early 90s Ozzy gem with Zakk Wylde on guitar. Great album, great song. Remember seeing this live in concert in a hall far too small for an act like Ozzy. The Paradiso in Amsterdam. Ozzy soaking everyone upfront in the audience after throwing like 8 buckets of water. Try Bark At The Moon if you wanna listen to Ozzy's 2nd guitarist in his solo career, Jake E. Lee, also a wizzard. Randy Rhoads was his 1st guitarist, Zakk Wylde became his 3rd in 1987 at the age of 20. Zakk is a monster on stage.
Zakk was Randy's student. That is how they connected. To this day Zakk is his choice for lead guitar. When not avaible he plays with his friend and fellow Sabbath member Toni Iomme. "Death on the 6 strings" his nickname. This No more tears album was Ozxy's first retirement in 1990. His carrer started about 1966 with the bans Earth. They became Sabbath later. The tour hosted a live video shot over 3 nights. Live and loud. A double album. The tour was nicknamed the no more tours tour. I saw him in Winnipeg Canada in 92. 1st time for me. Saw him again on the tour for Ozzmosis ( next album 1995) on his retirement sucks tour. 😅😁 Classic Ozzy. Could not stop. Seen him here in 98. Last time was about 06/7. My 3rd time. Believe me I am grateful to have had that experience. You know he was getting older and no idea how much longer he'd be around, let alone touring. Take your chance when you can to see these legends live before its too late.
The song is about a fictional modern-day Jack the Ripper. Ozzy's music is almost always melancholy, and dark. Red Miner is right the first albums with Randy Rhoads are amazing ---Revelation Mother Earth, Mr. Crowley, Suicide Solution, S.A.T.O, You Ca't Kill Rock n Roll, and Diary of a Madman are very juicy. His entire discography is amazing. cheers
This is my favourite Ozzy track of all time. It's also my favourite album. Hard to believe that this is over 30 years old. Such an epic anthemic track. Thanks for your video.
Featuring The Late Great Randy Castillo on Drum's His Last Album With Ozzy Osbourne !!! Watch The Documentary( The Life Rhythm and Blood of Randy Castillo ) Excellent Doc !!! R.I.P. Randy Castillo !!!
This man is good live even. His ability to sing is effortless. Watching him sing and his band play is just amazing. Back in the day when real music with real instruments was the only way to entertain and AMAZING to see
Sometimes "reaction videos" seem a little too setup. It's got the vibe of "Hey old timers-your music really rocks! Why isn't it on the radio?" It's kind of like the pretty young waitress flirting up the old geezers to get better tips. Nothing is going to happen...it's just a boost for an old mans ego. But I have to say you seem very sincere...some of the your commentary is spot on and provides a keen musical observation. I really enjoyed going on this journey with you. You are a very intelligent and observant young man. I look forward to hearing more of your videos.
It’s about a stalker in the red light district who kills the girl. Hence the “your lips are so cold, I don’t know what else to say” It’s dark but it’s genius
Zakk Wylde is that monster on guitar. Check out Black Label Society: Phoney Smiles and Fake Hello's, 13 Years Of Grief, Peddlers Of Death, Battering Ram, Lord's Of Destruction, Suffering Overdue. Zakk also has a southern rock band called Pride And Glory that's amazing and his solo albums are chill always has a ripping solo!!
"S.I.N." would be a killer track by Ozzy to react to. It's off this album, but honestly this entire album is practically perfection from start to finish.
And Mike Inez who is now in Alice in Chains, since the mid 90s, when AIC wanted Mike Inez to be in their band Mike had to ask Ozzy what he thought.. Ozzy really liked Alice in Chains and told Mike he'd be an idiot if he didn't go to AIC, and he's been there ever since!! Damn I love Ozzy!!
This album was made at a time in Ozzy's career where he was at a low point. He had to get sober after almost killing Sharon in a drunken rage. His record label was losing interest and didn't want to fund the album. The bass part you hear throughout the song was written by Mike Inez, who appears in the music videos for some of the songs from this album and who would later go on to be in Alice in Chains.
That bass run, was just a practice run Mike would play for warm-ups. Ozzy heard it and it was added to begin the song, unique song, utilizing synth/ piano almost ethereal elements leading into the pre-solo ...honestly still once of the most intense solos I ever heard.
Ozzy's worked with so many legend status guitarists with different sounds. Tony Iommi, Randy Rhoads, Jake E Lee, Zakk Wilde, Jeff Beck, Slash, Billy Morrison, list goes on...
Zakk Wylde is an absolute pentatonic beast....I love his harmonic vibrato which is his signature.....I became an instant fan from grade 5, more than 25 years ago ..
you should ,,totally,,,check out the kids coverring this song,,okeefe music foundation,,, please show all of your followers how kids can rock and keep rock alive,,,, another young band that rocks is ,,, motion device,,, they do a terriffic cover of black sabath,,war pigs,,,,
One of my favorite all time Ozzy songs, it’s a great tune with many layers and twists and turns. Love this song. Zakk Wylde is the guitarist, he’s a great guitarist. He was Ozzy’s third guitarist after Randy Rhodes and Jake E Lee. The lyrics are very cryptic, I’ve never been able to really lock down what they mean, but they lend to the overall creepiness of the song. I consider this to be in the all time top ten of Ozzy’s songs. Remember, stay cool and..... \m/ Stay Metal \m/
Zakk Wilde is great in Road to Nowhere, another track off of No More Tears album. You'd be amazed at the countless hits Ozzy has throughout his incredible career. So many to catch up on. Enjoy friend. And by the way, screw the haters. Do what you love, and how you love to do it.
Deep, down and dirty, mean and nasty, Zakk's sound...all I can say is Damn! Then that melodic breakdown into that build up that leads into that monster guitar solo? Gives me chills every time.
