Ozzy's Hall of Fame Induction Will Leave You SPEECHLESS feat. Wolfgang Van Halen

[@abitoffcenter383]

Yeah, pretty much.

[@JoeGator23]

When he was a young man, Ozzy could hang with the best... but he lost his voice decades ago in comparison to how good he was back in the day. Vintage Ozzy rules.

[@kevinkelly1529]

Those goofs most certainly can't sing . Ozzy songs are not even that difficult to cover.

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

I didn't hear any of this, but I know that Ozzy's way of singing is really "odd", in that it's kind of "off", and there also tends to be a lot of doubling, even live I believe. AND, nobody is gonna want to hear or believe it, but there might be live tuning as well. - But whatever it is, the way he "sings" is very unconventional and a lot of singers will sing more "properly", making it sound absolutely wrong for an Ozzy song. - It's kinda like trying to sing Jimi Hendrix songs technically sound, it will not sound right for a Hendrix song. - In fact, I just tried to sing a Dire Straits song earlier, trying to sing properly, but it almost doesn't work cause of how Mark Knopfler does it.

[@InsidiousDr9]

Ironic that the son of the guitarist who was Randy's biggest rival back in the day would play one of Randy's most well known songs at a Hall of Fame induction. Wolfgang is a class act through and through..well done indeed.

[@InsidiousDr9]

I don't think they were rivals. There was a lot of respect both ways. Randy was a very technical and classical player. When he was asked how he came up with the guitar licks that the kids would like he said basically rips off Eddie's stuff. "I have my own personality on the guitar but as of yet I don't think I have my own style. For instance, I do a solo guitar thing in concert, and I do a lot of the same licks as Eddie Van Halen. Eddie is a great player, but it kills me that I do that."

Went to Ozzfest twice with my Dad; saw the original line up of Sabbath, saw Black Label Society, and of course Ozzy's band. Met Zack at a CD signing event, had a picture taken with him, and he signed my guitar. Used to draw "OZZY" on my knuckles when I was in middle school. Same time as his TV show was airing.

He could've thanked Bob Daisley, his bass player, songwriter, lyricist and musical arranger on "Blizzard of Ozz", "Diary of a Madman" and "Bark at the Moon". They guy basically worked his arse off putting all those songs together . He was paid out a lump sum of cash and given ZERO songwriting credits. Nice one, Sharon and Ozzy!!! 😮 Ozzy thanked Sharon and his family. He also thanked Randy Rhoads, but purposefully gave zero thanks to Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, Jake E Lee,. Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge - the very guys who put him on the map as a solo performer and gave his 80's comeback the brilliant kickstart it needed in the 1980's... Without them, he would've been a washed-up has-been. At least Bob knows his work was worthy of Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame. That has to mean something for a working musician's pride
