I'm going to cry for a week the day we lose this man.
RUDI UK if we lose him.
We wont lose him
RUDI UK don’t even want to think about it love ozzy so much
RUDI UK honestly same man,it’s a blessing that he’s lasted this far,but I try not to think about it
Hopefully he'll live for a while yet, I've booked tickets for him for February, can't wait and I've heard he's releasing a new album too, he's not stopping any time soon
I've never heard Ozzy speak SO FLUENTLY IN MY LIFE.
there a interview from the 0
90 s where his speech is perfect
His speech was impaired during the filming of the MTV reality series because of prescription drug abuse.
Probably the stimulating effect of the cocaine
That's not how uppers work.
/watch?v=hDDrc36PSj0
The guy's almost 70, has been everywhere, done everything (literally) and can still stand upright. Yes his speech is a bit buggered, but I'd like to see the haters do better.
Apple_Cider I don't share. But you can clean up the floor I had her on.
Y'all can have her.
Lemming Russ Done. What a treat.
Lemming Russ yeah go do a bunch of drugs and see if you still make it. good idea.
His Speech Was Buggered in 1980 and before. I Love Ozzy and his contribution and the Firing was Bullshit BC the rest of Sabbath were drug and Boozing..My Question is...WHERE DOES IT END?? He Was Barely Understandable here.. I could go on a Raw Food Diet Rant But I Won't. That Is the Key To Illumination...Raw Foods...Pure Juicing..Total Cellular Regeneration and Finding True Inner Peace and Happiness...Leaving The Who YOU Are Now and Letting Go Of all attachments..Never Mind...Most Won't Get This..
You can't help but love him.
You have to get past Sharon Osbourne bless. We all love him he's a true gentleman...
"I don't drink anymore, I don't smoke cigarettes anymore, I don't do drugs anymore, AT ALL" tht made me super happy.
...yet
His pupils tho, definitely had a line before this interview 😂
It's not the end of Black Sabbath, their music will live on forever.
_of course_
ozzy and black sabbath will live on forever
Until he dies and they broke up
I am glad that Ozzy is still alive and clean
Ozzy is a such a cool dude. And he is STILL doing his solo shows! Wow. True artist who loves what he does.
mikedub one more album
Being a sabbath and ozzy fan. It comes to a point where you can understand the ozzy language
He's always seemed to be a very down to earth and funny dude, even humble somehow. Drugs fucked him up good, but his naive and cool soul has always been there.
his shakiness and difficulty in talking is because he has parkin disease(similar to parkinsons). its hereditry, not drug/alcohol induced.
I don't think it was drugs man. Ozzy has always been Ozzy according to the rest of Sabbath. Idk why so many people shit on Ozzy, he's smart, funny and kind. Maybe more people should do drugs.
Oh yeah he's great! You should read his autobiography
Ozzy is grateful, humble, articulate, and wiser than many of the comments here.
Eyeliner on point.
Fleur Bandito
I feel like thats just the natural color now :D
Fleur Bandito shit's been on point since the 80's
Gerard Way would be proud
Fleur Bandito hell yeah
*SYNTHESIS ABOUT OZZY'S ANSWERS:*
*"WHY ARE YOU ALIVE OZZY?"*
*"I DON'T KNOWW!!!"*
SOGNAMETAL1984 DON'T ASK ME!! I DON'T KNOW!!
Because he lost all that weight and kept it off. That's why he's still alive. And didn't get hold of any rabid bats.
What a beautiful human being. Speaks like a regular guy that you bump into in the street. After all the chaos and insanity of the Black Sabbath journey, he sits here as a humble, modest, kind, thoughtful and sensitive human being. The fame and the reckless lifestyle of drugs and booze have not hindered his mind whatsoever. I'm so happy Ozzy has achieved everything that he has been able to do - truly a role model for those stuck in the dead end job who want to escape it through creativity. Beautiful.
Really??
Check out videos of talk shows where hes being interviewed
Man this makes me feel like crying
I love Ozzy.
I think he's a really nice guy .
such a genuinely nice and sincere person, God bless ya ozzy
I'm always struck by the British stars who are always modest and humble despite their massive achievements.
Being British myself, I can maybe lay out some general traits. The following does not of course apply to ALL British people (no statement does), but most people here are like this:
We don't like prima donnas, we want to stay true to our roots of being humble, respectful and pleasant. We generally don't like the idea of having a group of yesmen follow us around and tell us how great we are. It makes us uncomfortable. We always want to remain approachable, and don't really wish to instill awe to the point where people treat us differently. We just are who we are, we keep it straight and don't pretend to be something we are not.
There will be exceptions of course, I am making sweeping, generalised statements. My experience of the vast majority of my countrymen fit this description though, including Ozzy.
@@goose300183 Accurate, Midlands lad myself.
@@goose300183 Self-deprication is what is about, self-effacing humility.
I still cannot believe Ozzy outlasted Lemmy..hopefully the Ozzman doesn't leave us any time soon.
themonsteraddict MMXVI Me neither. Lemmy looked far better than Ozzy in my opinion... until a couple of years ago, when he started to get really thin and having health problems. Cancer is such a nasty illness...
themonsteraddict MMXVI Oz was married Lemmy was single and touring relentlessly till the end. much harder life
Ozzy quit smoking many years ago and had substantial periods of clean time. Lemmy did not. If that makes any difference
themonsteraddict MMXVI I'll give him ten more years.
I give Ozzy Osbourne 20 more years.
If you can look at a man pushing 70 wearing eye liner and not think anything of it....that's 1 special man...
Ozzy seems so healthy and fresh here. Great to seem him so talkative and concise. He's older, and the drugs have had an impact, but as a fellow Brummie, I could understand him perfectly.
@Richard Starkey bruh
Mark Richardson Uh yeah
Ozzy, You are a legend and immortalized in the history books.
Archaeologists from 5000 years into the future will probably call this the Ozzy era :)
I mean, 5000 years? they could probably just sit down and talk with him.
He will be the Bach of classical music at that point.
@@QaRajhCreations Yeah, he'll be around then, he is immortal.
@@shikarifox4337 yep they'll dig him out of his rock hehe
@@TheRuddster95 And he'll tell them to fuck off.
He's such a humble dude in all honesty
Black Sabbath are the most important band EVER
Jake B TRUTH
I like Sabbath more but I’d say the most important band is the Beatles
Every incarnation of Sabbath is great - Ozzy, Dio, Ian Gillan, Jeff Fenholt, Glenn Hughes, Ray Gillen, Tony Martin - all phenomenal front men.
Well, beatles
Led zeppelin
Ozzy one hell of a guy, thank god he was in our lifetime
Hes honest we give him that.. black Sabbath are in the top 10 Best band's in the world ever.with pink Floyd... Trully should be aswell..
Lovely interview. I understood him. He's seriously one of those people I want to hug and just talk to. I think that's why I've listened to him/supported him for so long. I'd love to thank him some day, seriously a legend who doesn't even believe it.
"If that audience ain't there, you don't got a gig" = wisdom!
I loved Ozzy and Sabbath since i was about 9, and my Dad loved them since he was a teenager, he was growing up in a soviet union, where the records where illegal, and could have gotten him in jail, he still found ways to get them, and listen in secret... never expected to ever see them live. And then his kid (me) falls in love with the same band, and we listen to it together, and gift each other records, until we have a full vinyl collection at home, etc. and then one day, we finally get to see them. It was incredible moment to See Sabbath Live Together with my father... I remember thinking how surreal it was for me, the band has been split up when i started listening to them, and i never in my wildest dreams expected to see them in concert. But i can only imagine how much more surreal it was for my Dad, how much the world changed, from 16 year old, and locked in a room, listening to a bootleg copy of a record, that could get you arrested, to a 50 year old rocking his heart out with his daughter at a Front rows of the same band he grew up with..
Where your father is from
Music is a very powerful thing and your story shows that! Black Sabbath spoke to a lot of people, their music resonates and spans time and cultures, people from any background can feel the music in their hearts and souls, your dad was willing to go to a soviet prison just to here this music!! I have heard stories about what soviet prisons were like back then and the stories themselves were terrifying and there was no chance of me going into one so to have the genuine threat of that and risk that so he could listen to Black Sabbath is very powerful, your dad is an amazing man, I have a lot of respect for him, then for his daughter to also fall in love with them and for it to become something that bonded you together and something you could do together is amazing but for your dad I bet he never even dreamt at that young age when he was secretly playing the music that one day he would be in a packed arena with his daughter watching them live and with no threat of jail, that must have blown his mind and been very emotional for him and it sums up exactly what music is all about, especially good music, music that bands like Black Sabbath created it unites the world, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from or even where you have been, music does not discriminate, it just brings joy and hope and freedom and love to us all, for me music is my religion, I don’t belong to any ideology or church, as long as I have my music, I don’t need anything else, music makes me happy, music makes me feel free, I am autistic and I have had me difficulties, like most people have in their lives one way or another. I struggle to concentrate, my mind never stops, school was a nightmare for me, learning was a nightmare, not being able to concentrate held me back in so many ways, it frustrated me, I felt trapped and like a prisoner in my own head, it was tiring having my mind work all the time and it constantly flitting from one thought to another thought before I had time to even process the thought I was having, it was like my mind was having it’s own battle, it was like a battle scene from lord of the rings. But as soon as I listened to music, it went all calm, my mind was quiet, I felt free, I could concentrate, for me it was too late when I discovered this, sure I had listened to music before but only if it was on tv or if I found one of my parents tapes, we didn’t have money and I grew up with not very much, birthday and Christmas presents were only time I got anything and music was never anything I got, it wasn’t a part of my life growing up it was only when I got older and was able to be more self sufficient and free to do my own thing and explore my own interests that I truly discovered music, could explore it, but like I said in terms of my education, it was too late at that point. If anybody knows or has children with autism or ADHD or anything like that, I strongly recommend using music to help them, it will change their lives for the better, it will free them. I know in this day and age music is a lot more accessible than in my day thanks to the likes of Apple and iTunes and the range of hardware available to access music than in my day, it’s a lot more affordable. If they haven’t got access to an iPod or an equivalent music player, get them one and allow them to discover music and a genre of music that speaks to them, even if it’s music you hate yourself, don’t restrict it either, allow them to listen to it when they are doing homework for example, it will change their life and you will see a positive change in their behaviour and how well they do at school and how much more relaxed they become, I just wish I had it available to me growing up.
Music = Freedom!!
the most important band is the Beatles
@@patriksweden9203 No doubt about that, buy why bring that up?
Ozzy is awesome. Just funny, caring and overall a good person. May Sabbath live on.
When I was a kid I had this image of him as some freaky guy. Turns out, he's like the nicest guy ever. Love him.
Saw the last concert they did in my capital, in Brazil. It was my 21st birthday, best party ever. I made an playbill with "It's my B-Day Take Me To Stage" painted on it, and I was very close to them, Ozzy saw that and makes a sign... like he's reading, so he points at me and just gave me a thumbs up LOL yeah, I do not get to the stage but it was Ozzy's thumbs, so... a very memorable birthday gift and a hell of a goodbye.
I saw an interview with him awhile back while he was sober before he relapsed and he spoke even clearer than he does here. It was amazing. I was happy for him. I hope he can stay clean this time around. It will be a very sad day when he is gone.
never will there be such a legend
When my dad worked in Egypt and I was at school in England and visiting my dad for the summer holidays , People asked me if Ozzy had any new Albums as the Wizard was a big success there !
THE REAL OG!
You mean the real OO
The real O Z!
Cant be, He's not Dio
@Shallex rainbow
@Shallex "By 1979, Dio had left Rainbow, and replaced the malfunctioning Ozzy Osbourne as lead singer of Black Sabbath."
like I said, he was in RAINBOW BEFORE black sabbath, that was your question. You wouldn't be asking if you had already known
Ozzy = Legend for eternity
A living legend
Of course you are IMMORTAL Ozzy, as Black Sabbath (Tony, Bill and Gezzer) you an your music will live 4 ever in our hearts and souls. We love U!!!
he is a rock icon the best there ever will be!!!!!!! I saw him in concert twice once just ozzy once with black sabbath amazing :-D
I have always loved Ozzy and Black Sabbath. I was lucky enough to see them 1st May 2013 in Melbourne, Australia. I was in awe to see Ozzy on stage. It will be a very sad day when he passes. I was introduced to their music when I was 16 and have loved heavy metal ever since. Long live Ozzy Osbourne.
God bless Ozzy
I dunno, dude... Ozzy might catch fire or something if that happens.
I love how is accent is unchanged, proper brummy man
.... His voice... I never heard it in my life.. I just love listening to his music... And I didn't know he and I had the same birthdays. Dec. 3
20thCenturyMusic IsNice Ah...He will be turning 70 this year!
Spec is Special? I have the same birthday as David Bowie and Elvis Presley
He's still so full of joy and life.
This man is a living legend. He'll go down in the history books
He has more hair then i do. I'm 23.
Klaüs Smooth exactly. Hes hair is especially cared, or something... Cause its an impressive hair.
Klaüs Smooth that sounds sad. My hair is longer than his.
And never turns grey
b hahaha haha. same bruv. 23 ozzy
Good genetics, that's all it is. Hair loss has nothing to do with lifestyle, it's to do with how many DHT receptors you have on your follicles. Ozzy obviously has very few, and that's why he's kept virtually all his hair. He does dye it for sure though.
Just bought a ticket for 2 days to Ozzfest-Knotfest in LA, by the stage, so excited to see Ozzy.
He’s so wholesome and amazed at his life. What a guy. 🖤
life is good ozzy we're still here.living.
you can see a 110% difference from the way he spoke on the reality tv show to now, I read his book and it was phenomenal, he says in it during the osbournes show days, he was on the completely wrong medication and that it fucked him up mentally really badly to the point where he looked and sounded like he had parkinsons or something related to that, here he sounds great, sure he stammers here and there, but i mean wouldn't you after doing literally decades of rockstar style coke and acid and drinking lol.
he does have a condition which shows similar conditions to parkinsons,its amazing to see him speaking clearly here.
He was on painkillers and uppers
I didn’t think it was possible to love Ozzy anymore than I already do. This interview proves me wrong.
Fantastic! ❤️🎤🔥
"You can become a prisoner of your own success"-Ozzy Osbourne, 2017. TRUTH. Ozzy has always been way smarter than people give him credit for.
inspirational man, amazing band !!! OZZY FOREVER
His enthusiasm, gratitude and passion for life is infectious.
A truly down to earth fella.
Never sick, did every drug on the planet, healthy and still alive. Still kicking. Has a FULL HEAD OF HAIR.
GUYS, CAN WE ISOLATE THIS GUY'S GENES ALREADY?!
What do you mean never sick? He has Parkinson's and was an severe alcoholic and drug addict. Those are all illnesses.
fine , but atleast the hair, damn look at his hair, flowing like a river
The Ozzman helped create one of the largest and most diverse genres yet and was the singer of 2 of the biggest metal bands ever. and he hasn't let it get to his head (maybe the drugs beat that to it XD) he seems like a great man. he seems funny too.
whenever I realise that there will be no Sabbath makes me want to cry . my favourite band of all .
Am I the only one here liking all the comments coz literally it's amazing to see anyone writing good words about this great man!!! All respect sir Ozzy!! I don't want to see a world without Ozzy... He will forever be immortal... 🤘
This is an emotional interview tbh!
He’s an absolute legend. Every time I’ve seen him be it when he was on tv or online he’s been real and very genuine. Fair play to him for sobering up too.
It looked like he was tearing up💜💜💜
Isn't it amazing how humble is this gentleman?
I'm from Birmingham to love you ozzie
thank you for creating the best genre i've ever heard. Ozzy Osbourne is the real king of metal and rock.
Love this guy. Was a pleasure going to one of Sabbaths final gigs.
Ozzy's "drink a few beers" translates to / = / aka : drop some acid tablets, have a bit a mescalin, enjoy a pull of ketamine, top it off with some mushrooms.
I wonder what "drinking out the entirety of alcohol at oktoberfest" translates to ozzy then
Lmao best comment yet
Humble and honest . Mad as a hatter and a big heart . Funny character and amazingly still with us and still rocking . Guys a fkn living legend. Much respect to you Ozzy . Bless your heart
he looks young for his age
He's wearing makeup.
Emil Johansson he's had 5000 bottox injections..!
Tbh he doesn't. He is 68 here but looks 72.
He’s got a wife to keep in healthy
Not too much sun; English rose.
Really is such a sweet and funny guy. I love him a lot. The Osbournes is probably the only Reality TV show that I find watchable because I know that Ozzy didn’t come from a very wealthy background, and yet he keeps his humbleness and morals. God bless you Ozzy Osbourne
My thoughts exactly. He is a very talented singer but he is great as a person too, sweet and funny as you said. That's the biggest reason why people love him, apart from the talent, that's how I see it. Plus his passion for music is so great that make almost everyone love him, even non rock and metal fans.
I am watching this on my 61st birthday. 25.11.2023. And it's been Sabbath and Ozzy all the way so far. Thanks for getting me this far. I won't last forever, but the music will.
Will miss you Sabbath... Thank you for everything
Dio was the front man of Black Sabbath at one time, he was great. I think BBC should do a video on his journey before his passing.
One of the reasons to love Ozzy Osbourne. 🖤
What a beautiful man
thanks for all the memories. It's an honor to be your fan ... your fans will always be here. until the end of time
Thanks Ozzy and the boys for so much entertainment. Thanks Black Sabbath for your music. Fortunetely i was able to see them. I saw Just twice, but i saw
Ozzy ..May God's Love Bless You
Ozzy Osborne is brilliant and Black Sabbath is Amazing
ozzy was and still is a huge part of my life.
I have always, and always will love him as much as I could love a man. He was blessed with the opportunity to do all be has done and we are blessed to have had him.
I didn't know that there could be a chance that Ozzie would still be awake at this time of day,much less doing a concert!😎😍
He was the most pertyest man I'd ever seen (n that accent ♡).....I've always loved his music n always will. ......he's gettn older now n I have such a heart for him. .....I can understand every word he says. ......he's got such a strong accent. .....God bless you beautiful OZZY n your family. .....I still hope to meet you. ...... Kimmy. ....
I'm tired of people bitching about his speaking he's from England what do u expect I understand everything he's saying
I understand him fairly well too. He does tend to run some words and phrases together at times, but I understand his accent just fine.
In all honesty, it seems as if his brain is working very fast, so as he speaks he wants to say as much as he can but ends up stuttering and doesnt even finish a sentence sometimes.
I understand like 95% of his speech, he can be funny and profound at times
I understand everything he says every word.. he's one of a kind.. & be unreplaceable....
@Silvia C.same here and im Mexican 😄
Absolute legend! him and lemmy could never be bettered
I love him. Always will.
No one else sang “A national acrobat” but him. No one else...
Witnessing him on stage in 1981 - 20 ft away. His frequency was so positive and electrifying. Not to mention he had the best rock rhythm section of the 80s burning hot behind him, Randy Rhoads shining...
Lifelong everlasting impression ❤️
Ozzy I love you so much I was born and raised on everyone single song..and then we got Black Sabbath with Tony Iommi..remember War Pigs...that's when it was nice.
nicky lup "999"
What a career.. amazing! God bless Ozzy!!!
Good to hear Ozzy is going to keep going on with his solo work. Been waiting for the new album for quite a while......
God Bless Ozzy Osbourne
This man got me into rock, he is my idol, and what a great guy
Ozzy has appreciation for the success he had. What he had going for him was the ability to come up melodic and cool vocal melodies and the looks to go along with it, and a social personality. And good heath. All these things have to line up for a life like that.
Very nice interview..I love Ozzy forever..
What a legend.
Im so glad that Ozzy is going to be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. Such a great man. Love his music whether its with black sabbath or solo. 😊
I've had Paranoid, Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die on repeat all day. All original vinyl pressings and the greatest eargasm ever.
Such an amazing person and really genuine person people like him a very rare to come by Viva la Metal God bless Ozzy and the boys what an inspirational group of souls much love.
Great work true legendary man never forgot ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
absolutel legend, black Sabbath the best ever band in the world, no one else comes close, live forever ozzy.
Incredible. Incredible. Incredible. Long live The Prince Of Darkness.
He's amazing♥
I just love you so so much Ozzy & I'll be a fan of yours forever & always! #Namaste everyone
I really appreciate his candor.
