Ozzy Osbourne - Perry Mason (Demo) [Unreleased "Ozzmosis" session]

[@WhiskeyBrewer]

Hopefully if they do an Ozzmosis 30th anniversary release, it has all the Wagener demos on there. Cause this is amazing

[@alexeilindes7507]

Who is playing on this? Who is in studio? And where ?

[@62SG]

@@alexeilindes7507 Band is Zakk, Mike Inez and Randy Castillo.

[@richardwalther6229]

I recall in college reading Ozzy’s journal entries following each day of the Ozzmosis recording sessions. This was on some website circa 1997-98. Anyone else see those ever? Would be a great addition to an autobiography by Ozzy someday, or a boxed set.

[@GobotGogo]

Really wish ozzy would release an official version of these demos. Thank you very much for sharing this gem with the rest of the world !..!

[@davidsevern4765]

Michael Wagener's ear and engineering was the soundtrack to the best years of my life. This sounds great!!!

[@Dick_Dynamite]

You're insane....

[@moongloomable]

Much better than the crappy album version

[@sirkayda7205]

@@moongloomable - Crappy? How?

[@MetalSStar196]

​@moongloomable Nothing crappy about that album's production, hahahaha! It's all thanks to Sharon Osbourne's music connections he was able to land Michael Wagener as his producer for that album, especially.

[@seenbelow]

​@@sirkayda7205 The guitars sound like chainsaws and the drums are hollow and the kick drum especially thumping rather than kicking, while the bass is more buried. It sounds like an industrial album rather than heavy metal. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't fit the genre as much IMO.

[@MARCOSYYZ]

Feels like it was recorded on No rest for the wicked or No more tears! Nice version!

[@seenbelow]

Michael Wagener (the sound engineer of this version) said in forums that he was asked to produce this record exactly as No More Tears was, and they got a bit more than halfway into recording when it was shutdown by record label execs as they wanted to change direction in sound to make it similar to Soundgarden (due to the success of Superunknown). Mr Wagener disagreed heavily and ultimately he was replaced with another engineer.

[@TSUNGFX]

The guitar goes so hard its insane.

[@JasonGardner-k2l]

Am loving all this unreleased stuff man. At the end of the day I think the official album sounds great

[@dehumanizer6358]

It's a very beautiful version this song. I like this.

[@glide789]

I like this version even better. Sounds like power metal!

[@cullinaaronkress]

I still prefer the intro on the album version but this version kicks ass.

[@damienthomas4058]

I agree...low key I think if you could take the intro and bass from the album version into this one it would be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

@Damien Thomas Well it's because Geezer Butler is on the Bass.

[@Jason-iv6go]

Are you from the hood listening to ozzy ... cool 😎

[@dderudito]

In deep agreement!

[@ryanphooper]

Very rare for a demo to be that close in arrangement to the master studio tape. Listen to Geezer go! Bass line makes that song as dope as it is.

[@thewelshbeersnob2783]

Not Geezer on this demo, it’s Mike Inez.

[@Robinson12]

Engineered by Michael Wagener. It's a damn shame he didn't get to finish this album. The execs wanted it to sound like "Soundgarden".

[@Burkhimself]

Love the guitar “licks” on the studio album, but love the guitar tone and overall mix/effects of this one. Reminds me a little of the No More Tears album mix. Dang, why fix something that isn’t broke ? NMT was the bomb. 😢

[@mattovtn]

Yeah Michael said that he wanted to do an exact copy of No More Tears

[@heavymetalheretic5386]

@@mattovtn Record Labels said they wanted a fresh sound and booted Michel from the project. A huge mistake as the Ozzmosis production was heavily criticized. Even Ozzy wasn't fond of the album.

I was thinking total No More Tears era vibes than the alternative rock type vibe they eventually went with. I much prefer the reverb type tone of the 80s earily 90s.

Final cut was way better but I dont understand why they changed the lyrics from "And it happens my friend" to "And I'll see you my friend". I mean, Lyrically, this song makes no sense as it is but that change makes me scratch my head.

Yes, this was a London session with Michael Waganer producing. 1992.

@@somethinburnin who does that put on lead and bass? zakk wylde and mike inez?

[@somethinburnin]

@@lukesgameplay9121 yes still Zakk. Assuming it is Inez, I am not sure the status of Bob Daisley at this point. I do not believe he had and Ozzmosis session involvement even tho he was part of the No More Tears sessions along with Lemmy of Motorhead. I think Lemmy was more for Lyrical purposes on NMT. Geezer Butler would be with Sabbath for Dehumanizer Album/Tour.

[@SDMFdeeger]

@@somethinburnin It's James Lomenzo on bass. You can tell during the guitar solo, he's doing all kinds of small runs just like he did under Zakk in Pride & Glory. Mike never really played stuff like that before, and it's before Geezer game (back) into the picture.

[@NicholasColvard-pm9hb]

When the demo audio is better than the album version.

[@thefonzkiss]

Not a demo, it’s a proper version for an album. They fully recorded and finished a bunch of songs before scrapping them and re-recording everything with a new producer.

[@AliceInPantera]

Oh man this is so good. However I do miss the See You On The Other Side demo being on KZbin also. That version destroys the one on the album imo

[@ctcards2636]

I dont think this is Zakk on guitar. This is Steve. Theres no pinch harmonics. There were demos with Steve online a few months ago and now since it got in the news recently the videos are all down. But i think some of these demos on here are Steve on guitar. Id listened to a few of the videos a few months back and you could tell when it was Zakk and when it was Steve on the guitar.

[@nickclark1695]

I think you may be right, because there are no pinch harmonics, and during the solo, no wide vibrato

[@Paul-ji4hg]

This is Zakk, Mike Inez, and Randy Castillo. Material from the earlier sessions that was Steve Vai, Bob Daisly, and Deen Castronovo has never been leaked.

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]
