Ozzy osbourne出生于1948年，原名John Osboume，是著名乐队black sabbath（黑色安息日）的灵魂人物，他对重金属音乐产生了不可估量的影响，1978年Ozzy osbourne离开black sabbath乐队做个人发展，并组建自己的新乐队Blizzard Of Ozz（奥兹暴风雪），他作为一位老牌的金属艺人一直活动至今。
无论称之为摇滚乐的撒旦化身或是金属界的教父，都不足以形容Ozzy Osbourne的伟大！事实上在历经三十余载的音乐生涯之后，Ozzy的成就早已超越一般摇滚巨星的地位，其影响力早已深入老、中、青三个世代，成为所有摇滚／金属乐团奉为圭臬的精神指标！
OZZY OSBOURNE的传奇肇始于阴冷的英国北部伯明罕的街上，年轻的OZZY与几位朋友组成了POLKA TULK乐团，演唱曲风偏向蓝调音乐，到了1970年代，他们的乐风走入了当时如日中天的重金属风潮之中。为了配合乐风的丕变，乐团也正式更名为 BLACK SABBATH。1980年，由于感到BLACK SABBATH 已逐渐失去他们创团之初的狂热盛气，OZZY决定要离团单飞，寻求个人事业的发展。
他的音乐走向愈趋探索生命的黑暗深处。新找来同侪乐手中之佼佼者：吉他手RANDY RHOADS。这位吉他高手为重金属乐的音质和技巧部份开发出更广袤的范畴。OSBOURNE／RHOADS的梦幻组合，为当时乐界新兴的璞玉，两人合作的作品更被视为音乐瑰宝。早期的合作作品“CRAZY TRAIN”臻至经典地位，并为后来的革命性作品“BLIZZARD OF OZ”、“DAIRY OF A MAD MAN”...等等谱下蓝图。1982年，一场空难夺走了RHOADS的生命，两人合作的作品俱成绝响。留下OZZY独闯歌坛，之后的作品，诸如：“BARK AND THE MOON”、“THE ULTIMATE SIN”、“TRIBUTE” 以及“NO REST FOR THE WICKED”等曲均持续巩固了OZZY在硬式摇滚界顶尖的地位。
Though many bands have succeeded in earning the hatred of parents and media worldwide throughout the past few decades, arguably only such acts as Alice Cooper, Judas Priest and Marilyn Manson have tied the controversial record of Ozzy Osbourne. The former Black Sabbath frontman has been ridiculed over his career, mostly due to rumors denouncing him as a psychopath and Satanist. Despite his outlandish reputation, however, one cannot deny that Osbourne has had an immeasurable effect on heavy metal.
While he doesn't possess a great voice (it's thin and doesn't have much range), he makes up for it with his good ear and dramatic flair. As a showman, his instincts are nearly as impeccable; his live shows have been overwrought spectacles of gore and glitz that have endeared him to adolescents around the world. Indeed, Osbourne has managed to establish himself as an international superstar, capable of selling millions of records with each album and packing arenas across the globe, capturing new fans with each record.
John Michael Osbourne began his professional career in the late '60s, when he teamed up with guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward to form Black Sabbath. The band, made unique by their slow, gloomy melodies and themes, released their self-titled album in 1970, and would go on to release classic platinum records such as Paranoid and Master of Reality throughout the rest of the decade. After the 1978 album Never Say Die, Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath, which led him to form his own solo project. With his new manager and wife, Sharon, Osbourne formed his own band, the Blizzard of Ozz, with guitarist Randy Rhoads, bassist Bob Daisley and drummer Lee Kerslake. The group's self-titled first album was released in 1981.
Blizzard of Ozz had some of the same ingredients of Black Sabbath -- the lyrics focused on the occult and the guitars were loud and heavy, yet the band was more technically proficient and capable of pulling off variations on standard metal formulas. Featuring the hit singles "Crazy Train" and "Goodbye to Romance," Blizzard of Ozz reached number seven on the U.K. charts; it peaked at number 21 in the U.S., continuing to sell for over two years and becoming a huge success. Kerslake and Daisley would be replaced with Tommy Aldridge and Rudy Sarzo shortly before the subsequent release, Diary of a Madman. This album, which included the drug ode "Flying High Again," charted at number 16 in the U.S. and became another huge seller.
As the Diary tour went underway, sales for the album continued to improve as those of Black Sabbath waned. Osbourne had no trouble in attaining mass audiences, and his career seemed to have peaked. However, controversy soon erupted when he was accused of animal cruelty -- during one performance, a bat was thrown onstage by a fan, and Osbourne bit its head off while supposedly thinking that it was fake; the show was canceled when he had to be rushed to the hospital for rabies vaccination. Not long afterwards, Rhoads was killed in a bizarre plane accident, bringing the band's success to a screeching halt. Osbourne fell into a massive depression shortly after losing his best friend, and plans for his upcoming live album were soon changed.
Instead of material recorded with Rhoads, 1983's Speak of the Devil featured live recordings of classic Black Sabbath material, recorded with guitarist Brad Gillis and released to combat sales of Sabbath's Live Evil. Osbourne was freed from his contract with Jet Records, and showed up drunk at an Epic Records meeting with two doves, one of which he freed and the other of which he killed in the same manner as the bat; Osbourne was signed to the label.
Jake E. Lee became Osbourne's new guitarist for the 1984 studio effort Bark at the Moon. While it didn't match the consistency of Blizzard of Ozz or Diary of a Madman, the record was equally successful, pushing the singer to embark on a tour with glam-metal stalwarts Motley Crue. Although Bark at the Moon opened up to rave reviews, 1986's Ultimate Sin received rather harsh criticism. The album, although containing the hit single "Shot in the Dark," would be regarded as Osbourne's worst studio effort by numerous critics, who claimed it was redundant and uninteresting; nontheless, the album was another smash hit. Also in 1986, Osbourne was accused of encouraging suicide among listeners via use of subliminal messages in his Blizzard of Ozz song "Suicide Solution," a song that he claimed was written in relation to the effects of alcohol abuse.
Although the case was eventually dismissed, Osbourne once again earned a feared reputation. He pulled up his profile in 1987 with Tribute, a live album recorded in 1981 that was dedicated to the memory of Randy Rhoads. Lee soon left the band, and was replaced with Zakk Wylde for No Rest for the Wicked, which would be released in 1988. The record proved to be one of his strongest yet, highlighted by "Miracle Man," in which Osbourne ridiculed evangelist (and longtime foe) Jimmy Swaggart. Just Say Ozzy, a live EP taken from the subsequent tour, was released in 1990.
After recording a new studio album in 1991, Osbourne found himself without the usual enthusiasm to perform, due to his increasing age and his desire to spend more time with his family. When No More Tears was released in the fall, it was confirmed that the following tour would be Osbourne's last before retirement. No More Tears was greeted with fine response, and the leading single, "I Don't Wanna Change the World," would eventually win a Grammy award for Best Metal Song. Following the tour, a live double album, Live and Loud, was released in 1993 to commemorate Osbourne's career, and it was now assumed that the singer's glory days were over. However, the retirement was not to be -- Osbourne resurfaced in 1995 with Ozzmosis, which, despite mixed reviews, would sell three million copies within a year after its release.
After the subsequent tour proved to be one of the best-selling of the summer, Osbourne created the Ozz-Fest, a tour package that would feature himself along with many other metal bands. While there were only two performances in 1996, a live album was nonetheless released, simply titled The Ozzfest. 1997's tour package included such metal acts as Pantera, Marilyn Manson, and a Black Sabbath reunion from which only Bill Ward was absent. With the exception of Sarah McLachlan's Lilith Fair, Ozzfest '97 was the most successful tour of the year, and Osbourne released a compilation album, The Ozzman Cometh, in November. Shortly afterwards, Osbourne united the entire original lineup of Black Sabbath to record a live album, which was released in 1998. ~ Barry Weber, All-Music Guide
