Ok. Getting Maynard to leave his vineyard, sing someone else's song AND stand at the front of the stage is probably the most telling sign of this man's influence. I'm impressed.
Literally my sister is visiting me and didn't hear me start the video. She heard the line up and it got to Maynard and she's like wait who the fuck was able to get him them it started and she's like oh I should have guessed that.
You can't be nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame until you're 25 years into your career. That's an actual rule. I welcome anyone to google it for confirmation. So Ozzy wasn't eligible to be nominated for his solo work until 2005 (his first solo album came out in 1980), so really it's been a 19 year wait.
Did anybody else cry while watching this? Ozzy's voice has been a really close companion to me for my whole life and he finally got that HOF spot where he should have been years if not decades ago. Shame that there were few very important names forgotten. All the best health Ozzy and thank you for your work 🦇🎶
Huge HUGE albums - and for a very select few, the best of Ozzy's solo career. Not to diss on Randy (OBVIOUSLY) or the amazing work by Zakk (or even Gus!), but the Jake E Lee albums were amazing, in their pacing, in their sound profile, in the rhythm of the songs, it was totally pure 80's heavy metal. Even Ozzy who doesn't like The Ultimate Sin album, kept Shot in the dark as a staple in the live set. So much great music, so many beautiful sounds and memories.
The first time I heard Ozzy was when my older brother put on the Speak of the Devil album. Those are Black Sabbath songs with a new band. Brad Gillis did an awesome job considering he was also in Night Ranger. Helped Ozzy out big time to meet his recording contract after Randy Rhoades crashed into the house after clipping the tour bus. Listened to that album about 5 billion times. The solo album stuff was just so sophisticated I really didn't understand it but I warmed up to it and saw it's genius. Huge fan.
When he screamed all aboard, his eyes opened, and you can see the Ozzy of old literally rose up like a phoenix, holy crap that gave me chills. Not even parkinsons can stop the man.
@@henkestenke probably not, as he still performs the black label society version of the song i think, but yeah the last time he does the original version
Man grew up on Ozzy I'm 56 now but I love his sound his voice is one of kind, some of the greatest guitar players ever lived have played with the OG of metal. Thank you Ozzy for my teenage years especially!! We love you
❤❤❤Love love love this man!! I am 56 yrs young and have been listening to Black Sabbath and Ozzy since I was 15. Jack’s introduction was awesome and spot on! Rock on Prince of Darkness! We love you!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Jelly Roll isn’t a Metal Artist he’s a Country Artist with great sound in that genre I think all their inner ear pieces weren’t working because even Cher sounded off key, it wasn’t some of the artists it was the behind the scenes stuff that made many not sound great. This being said, it was about honoring the artist, and all were old. Jelly roll is a great artist at his own craft don’t judge an artist for all the poor sound of every artist inducted it was a sound issue period, point blank that made the bad worse and the good sound bad. The whole thing should be a do over in the production of off sound they couldn’t hear themselves through their earpieces, don’t judge.
@@AngelHeart1111 Sour notes aside... Jelly's vocals are sub karaoke level. I've never heard the man before and have no opinion of him either way. Not hating, but even if his notes were pitch corrected, that voice and technique would be less than average. I've (obviously) heard the name everywhere over the past few years, with no negative press attached to it which is saying a LOT these days, but to say I'm disappointed would be an understatement.
It's not about sounding like him. It's about playing the songs they love, enjoying inducting him in the hall of fame, and honoring him. It has nothing to do with sounding like Ozzy...
Jake and most of all Bob need to be recognized. Randy of course already was. Those 3 were the most important in Ozzy's post Sabbath career and Ozzy owes _everything_ to them.
Billy was the only one that really got in the same neighborhood. I think that is because he is also British and a hard rock singer. The other two are pop singers, of course they could not come close. Would have liked to see someone like Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper or Sammy Hagar, who I saw in the crowd. Saw Hagar recently and he can still belt it out. Seen the other two a few years back and they still had it.
Right before the show started actually livestreaming, they flashed a disclaimer up on the screen about possible language. I had to laugh. Like, no kidding. 😂
Agreed! Just hearing him say Ozzy's name, was jarring lol. So totally different worlds it almost seems impossible that they could be aware of each other lol
Yeah you wanna know whats even more legendary? The Rhoads family had to sue Ozzy to get the money Randy had worked for. The F*ckd Randy hard and it makes me sick to see the Osbournes speaking highly of Randy.
He loved Randy like a little brother and after his Father according to Oz himself Randy's death fucked him up more than any other loss because Randy's presence pulled him out of the grief and despair that being fired from Sabbath and his dad's death had landed him in. He thanked God for Randy every day. Can you imagine how hard it had to have been to keep it going for the rest of the guys? He went on a sick one for sure.
@@zackjrhe was the guy that used to peg your mum in the back room and then give you a Tootsie Pop on his was out while saying he was your "uncle Edward".
That’s just beautiful, a hundred percent deserved and arranged ceremony, no one deserves it more than Ozzy Osbourne that man made a history for eternity. I want to thank the people who organized this ceremony, well done 👍🏻 bravo 👏, it’s ceremonies like that make us realize that life worth living.
Sucks that Jake E. Lee wasn’t mentioned, but it’s also time to start putting some serious respect on Wolfgang, he absolutely nailed that Crazy Train solo. He’s not just Eddie’s son, he’s a beast himself.
I love you OZZY thank you for the music and the several amazing concerts i was lucky enough to see. i wish i could see you in concert again. congrats on hall of fame induction for solo work its about time
Ozzy has deserved this place in the HOF for decades. Glad it happened while he can still "semi"appreciate the accolades! And I really don't care who he did or didn't mention - Randy Rhodes was his first shout out, and we all know that was 101% from his heart,
@@petebrown3715 I was hoping Zakk would sing one. I also think Jack Black could have pulled off an Ozzy song. He hits the higher notes that those other guys couldn't
Hearing these guys, who I love to listen to btw, sing Ozzy's music only proves that the songs were only ever meant for Ozzy to present to the world, forever 💯🤘💜🖤♥️
I get where you're coming from, I think there is also a level of respect for not upstanding Ozzy in his old age now and simply honoring his legacy by performing the songs.
(ALL CAPS AS IAM LEGALLY BLIND) THERE WILL ONLY EVER BE ONE OZZY - NOBODY WILL EVER BE ABLE TO COPY NOR REPLICATE OZZY. A TERRIFIC MAN , HUMBLE AND LOVED WORLDWIDE FOREVER AND EVER. MUCH LOVE FROM VERMONT STATE U.S
oz is the one musician im a fan of that i cried for because i know hes genuinely grateful to the fans for the life hes been given, after all the strife all the problems all the drugs and alcohol, the prince sits on his throne given a standing ovation. Im so happy for him and for Zakk. This is amazing.
Dude, Maynard, Jelly Roll, and Billy Idol all struggled bad with some of those notes. Billy was flat for most of the performance. I thought Ozzy was going to stand up, knock him over, and just finish the song himself lol.
They definitely should have picked a different group to salute him. These guys really sucked together, even though I love the RHCP and many of the other artists, but DAMN, THEY SOUND HORRIBLE!!!
@@PoppaBadger should have been: Corey Taylor “Slipknot” Robert Plant “Led Zeppelin” James Hetfield “Metallica” Bands that are obviously inspired by Ozzy and worked with him Over the years all those bands toured with him.
Not one of those singers could do justice to Ozzy. Goes to show, while hailed as the Prince of Darkness for his influence, his vocal abilities have always been greatly underrated.
@@BrianHunsakerMusic, I didn't mention Dio anywhere in my comment, so I don't know where you're comment is coming from. Not an Ozzy vs. Dio thing. Yes Ozzy has range. A range none of the singers in this video could manage as every one of them was pitchy. Ozzy was NEVER pitchy.
Yeah, let’s not really forget about Jake E Lee’s part in this stuff. He made two great albums with Ozzy Osbourne you assholes don’t forget. Jake E Lee is one of the greatest guitar players. Ozzy Osbourne has ever had.. honor him he deserves it. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ozzy turned me into a Guitar Shredder and there is NO other Musician influencing me beside Jeff Buckley.I'm serious, if THIS MAN OZZY WILL DIE something inside of me will die as well.Amen
@@hysteria697 Yeah, Ozzy sent him a message as well after it happened. He mentioned Randy Rhoads here so thought he could have mentioned Bob Daisley as well since he played a pretty important role in the early stages of Ozzy's solo career.
I think deep down he wanted to but he’s a very emotional guy and it maybe to new to talk about .He looks like he’s having it hard enough up there with out any ridicule!
@@ImperialmusicfanRandy and Ozzy were tighter than brothers . His death affected his whole family . Randy’s death was hard on Ozzy .Plus he’s having a hard time up there as it is ! No need to throw petty comments!
I love that Ozzy has been an influence in my life. I will always listen to Ozzy till I die. First song I heard was Mr. Crowley. I saw Ozzy first time live at 11 my first concert. Ozzfest 1999
His performance was a spit in Ozzy’s face and pretty embarrassing. There’s really not much more to say but I’d love to go on. Thankfully Billy Idol took over the other half, he is a legend and if I was Ozzy I’d be thankful an old pal was singing up there for me
Randy Rhodes is the sound of Ozzy, he set the foundation for all other musicians to incorporate this style to pull from in which to right for Ozzy to sing over.
Bob Daisley wrote MOST of Ozzy’s lyrics and if not for him there would be no OzzY as we know him today! Bob Daisley was as much a part of Ozzy’s success as OzzY was. Maybe more because like I said, he wrote all of those classic OzzY songs that we all know and love. I love OzzY but him and Sharon need to show Bob the love and give him his due credit!!
LIke so many great singers, it's when you see other singers attempt their material that you realize how great and unique they are. Certainly true for Ozzy.
their in-ears were off, or they are tone-deaf. All of them sucked. It is not about how special Ozzy's voice may be, it is just about being in tune, not immitating his voice.
Ozzy is a living legend, his music will never die...legends never die ! ❤ Ozzy will forever be missed when his time comes, amazingly he's lived this long and gave us so much great music over the decades ... His loyality to his fans is unmatched
That was about f-ing time. Ozzy is one of the greatest, if not the greatest. I still remember when I first heard "Bark at the moon", which was one of my entries to the metal world. Thanks for that, madman. Love ya!
Been listening to Sabbath/Ozzy my entire life thanks to my dad. Music for the good and bad times, music that lets you know, you’re not alone. Ozzy influenced so many and surprisingly outlived many, including my father. Congratulations Ozzy, you deserve it.
He was shot in the dark.. ironikly 37 years has past and still he and wife ripped off in batk at the moon and base salary ultimate sin.. zakk is good but jake is so unique ..
Because all the people who sang have different styles and bands and aren't the same type of rock/metal as Ozzy. Expecting someone to sound exactly like him is just funny.
It sounds like he couldn't hear himself, and he made the cardinal mistake of trying to compete with the volume of all the instruments instead of doing what he had to do to hear himself sing.
The title of this vid is not fucking lieing 😅 i just sat speechless and proud as fuck after this! What a legend and so fucking happy for him! Long live the king of metal 👊
This induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, couldnt have been more deserved than Ozzy Osborne, who has put out more metal hits than anyone else. With such an iconic voice, no one could match, well deserved, and way overdue. Thank you, Ozzy, for so many years of headbanging songs.
The love Ozzy has for Randy is so beautiful. He talks about Randy like he just got off the phone with him five minutes ago. Just amazing he is and forever will be, until the end of time.
I seriously wasn't expecting him to pull these chops off. They are not 12/10 in difficulty level but boy are they up there in terms of technique, control and precision. I guess, perhaps practicing he slowly started reaching some his dad's potential?
