- 1:44And of course, I'm always happy to go into other people's live
- 1:48shows and podcasts and have discussions and debates and so
- 1:52on. Today we're going to talk about
- 1:54Ozzy Osbourne. This is kind of a tribute video
- 1:58as well as a I'm talking about the inspiration that he had on
- 2:03me as a musician musically and also opened my mind to a lot of
- 2:09ideas and thoughts and also how it affected me in real life.
- 2:15Ozzy Osbourne actually had a an extremely personal impact on my
- 2:20existence as well as my philosophy, and many of you may
- 2:25not know that whenever I was younger, I loved Ozzy Osbourne
- 2:31T-shirts. I went to a couple churches
- 2:35actually wearing a shirt called The Blizzard of Oz, and the
- 2:39album cover has Ozzy basically sitting down in the middle of
- 2:45the room with light coming through a window.
- 2:47Depending on which interpretation the cover you
- 2:50got, he's wearing like a white and red robe and he's holding up
- 2:54a cross. And I always assumed by looking
- 2:58at that that that meant that he was Christian because he held
- 3:01the cross up. And also I enjoyed the album
- 3:06with Randy Rhodes that had Crazy Train, Mother Revelation.
- 3:11And I Don't Know is one of the songs.
- 3:16That's what it's actually called.
- 3:17I don't know. I'm not saying I don't know.
- 3:20And great album. Randy Rhodes was obviously
- 3:24legendary. He's one of the greatest guitar
- 3:26players to ever exist. May he rest in peace.
- 3:32Well, how did I get into Ozzy Osbourne?
- 3:35And then we'll get into how he impacted me because of his music
- 3:40and because of his persona. I was pointing out that I
- 3:46actually went into some churches with his shirt and I remember a
- 3:51lot of Christians. This is when I was younger and I
- 3:53was silly. I wasn't into wearing suits or
- 3:57anything like that. And I was actually told that I
- 4:00need to leave the premises of a church because of the Ozzy
- 4:04Osbourne T-shirt. And I remember I came up with my
- 4:08first philosophical biblical argument and I said, you know,
- 4:13God created us and he loves us for who we are.
- 4:16He doesn't care what we're wearing.
- 4:18And to follow it up, I said Adam and Eve were born into the world
- 4:22naked. So perhaps wearing clothes is
- 4:26not actually what God intended for us.
- 4:29I mean, really, if you think about it, the only reason we
- 4:31truly wear any kind of clothes is to keep ourselves warm.
- 4:35And also for people who have disgusting, nasty bodies.
- 4:38You want to cover up your ugliness?
- 4:40I get you. But as far as Christianity goes,
- 4:43God doesn't make junk, you know? He designed us all beautiful and
- 4:47as intended. It's what we put in our mouths
- 4:50and what we've spit out and what kind of waste we put into
- 4:55ourselves that caused us to be the defiled wretches that we
- 4:59are. Well, when I was a little boy, I
- 5:05started getting interested in music because my father, before
- 5:10my mother and father divorced, he had this like dresser filled
- 5:13with cassette tapes and I remember looking through it.
- 5:19He had such albums like Journey. Pink Floyd, loved Pink Floyd.
- 5:24Right off the bat. The reason why I liked Pink
- 5:26Floyd was immediately upon turning on Dark Side of the Moon
- 5:30and the Wall, you hear all these wicked weird noises and they're
- 5:34going through your headphones or blasting on the stereo system.
- 5:38Fantastic, weird stuff. But among his collection of
- 5:43Scorpions, Journey, Led Zeppelin and all that was also Black
- 5:48Sabbath. Now, funny enough, when I
- 5:52started listening to it, and obviously right off the bat you
- 5:55hear War Pigs and you get Paranoid and Iron Man, all these
- 6:02tracks, I didn't know that, that I didn't know who the people
- 6:06were in Black Sabbath. It wasn't until years later
- 6:11whenever I started listening to Ozzy Osbourne go solo where I
- 6:14was like, and then seen some interviews where it's like,
- 6:18yeah, he used to be the lead vocalist of Black Sabbath.
- 6:22And then they replaced him with Deal, which is another
- 6:26beautiful, talented, creative vocalist who had a very
- 6:31powerful, authoritative voice. Unfortunately, he died as well.
- 6:37But I I think that people can clearly tell that there was a
- 6:40big difference between Black Sabbath with Ozzy than there was
- 6:44with Deal. Believe it or not, I believe
- 6:46Ozzy, besides his behavior, I think that he got put out of
- 6:51Black Sabbath because they were looking for a more meteor
- 6:55angrier type of singer is where Ozzy Osbourne was very octave
- 7:01oriented. But I think that, I mean, what
- 7:05was it that they got on to him for?
- 7:07They were just looking for something a little stronger I
- 7:10guess. And plus, the band was having
- 7:12some kind of issues. I don't know the whole deal.
- 7:15I don't really give a damn about musician drama.
- 7:18There's not one band that I love that doesn't hate each other
- 7:22behind the scenes or have some kind of issue.
- 7:26So I'm listening to Black Sabbath, I grow up, I have the
- 7:31church experience. It caused me to do some
- 7:34questioning. And then there were people out
- 7:37there who said that Ozzy Osbourne was of the devil, that
- 7:40he bites the heads off bats and birds.
- 7:42And I ended up looking into that and doing some research.
- 7:45I found out that he was being silly, probably high off of his
- 7:50ass and not thinking too well about it, and did actually bite
- 7:54into a creature. But according to Ozzy, he
- 7:57thought that the bat was fake, that somebody had thrown up like
- 8:01some kind of fake like rubber thing, and he was just showing
- 8:06off. He's a performance artist, so he
- 8:11likes to, you know, do controversial, crazy stuff in
- 8:14order to get attention and add to his his music and what he's
- 8:19doing in concerts. So I get it.
- 8:22He said that was a horrible experience because he ended up,
- 8:25I think, getting rabies and having to have several shots put
- 8:28into his stomach back then. I don't know if they ever, to be
- 8:32honest, but they never really looked this up.
- 8:34I probably should, but I don't know if they ever came up with a
- 8:38a more pleasant way of curing rabies or if they can't even
- 8:43cure it. But that was pretty horrible for
- 8:46him. Yeah.
- 8:50People were making accusations about Ozzie, that he was of the
- 8:54devil, that he was a Satan worshipper.
- 8:57They said that if you played his records backwards, they would
- 9:01talk to you and all that, and the Devil demons would speak
- 9:04through his music. And that was actually, the
- 9:08churches would tell me this whenever I was a kid.
- 9:11They said don't listen to this guy or Alice Cooper or bands
- 9:16like Megadeth and so Warren and so Warren, because they're all
- 9:20of the devil. Megadeth was just starting out,
- 9:24though, during this time, whenever I was a kid, well, when
- 9:29I heard this, I was blown away. I was like, really?
- 9:34You're telling me that Ozzy Osbourne talks to the dead and
- 9:39music voices come out of his his records and shit?
- 9:43Well, for me, I was a very curious little bastard.
- 9:46I wanted to be able to see the supernatural.
- 9:48I was into EVP scary stories, campsite scary stories and
- 9:55everything else. So I went out to the store and I
- 9:59looked through his C DS and I remember the first album a solo
- 10:07wise besides the Randy Rhodes and all that Crazy Train.
- 10:11The first album that was really artistic that I noticed by him
- 10:16because if you go back to Black Sabbath all the covers were
- 10:19black and dark and all that and there was definitely some
- 10:22religious undertones. But this specific album was
- 10:26called The Ultimate Sin, and it had Ozzy looking like a big ass
- 10:30dragon with flames around him like he was in hell.
- 10:34And I'm like, wow, you know, this is going to be extremely
- 10:37evil. Obviously, I wasn't going to be
- 10:40able to get the same kind of groove that the Christians were
- 10:44accusing him of, though, because they weren't selling records at
- 10:47this point. They made their way over into
- 10:51cassette tapes and well, they were just starting to transition
- 10:55from cassette tapes over into Compact Desk.
- 10:59So I went ahead and I bought it. I realized there was no way I
- 11:03was going to be able to turn the CD backwards or anything like
- 11:06that, but I wanted to hear. I figured if there were demons
- 11:11in it, I'd hear it no matter what direction I play the CD.
- 11:15And I got home and I played That Son of a Bitch and my goodness,
- 11:19that song, The Ultimate Sin breaks out.
- 11:22Boom, it's the ultimate sin. And then the song Secret Loser,
- 11:28which I later found that was in a movie called the Wraith with
- 11:32Charlie seen where he plays an undead coming back in this like
- 11:37really bad ass futuristic car and basically killing the people
- 11:41that killed him. It was a lot like a weak version
- 11:45of the Crow. It was AB rate movie that had
- 11:48the same kind of formula as the Crow.
- 11:50You know, a terrible thing happens.
- 11:52Man comes back because he loves a woman and he haunts the people
- 11:57who who took his life. So yeah, there's actually a film
- 12:01out there that is exactly like The Crow, but without the makeup
- 12:05and the long droopy hair. And he can drive.
- 12:09Charlie Sheen can drive a really cool car.
- 12:15So I listened to Ozzy Osbourne and then I went out and after
- 12:19listening to the the CDI, couldn't get enough of them.
- 12:23He ends up releasing No Rest for the Wicked.
- 12:26Then I Found a Bark at the Moon. Then he releases later on a
- 12:34album called What was it, No More Tears?
- 12:38I'm I don't know if the album was actually called No More
- 12:41Tears. There was a song on there called
- 12:43No More Tears, but what was it? It had Mama, I'm Coming Home and
- 12:49Time After Time and Mr. Tinker Train.
- 12:54Great. The Road to Nowhere leads to me.
- 12:57What a great fucking album. Fantastic in every way
- 13:02imaginable. Loved it.
- 13:05And then he came out with Osmosis, which was really, it
- 13:09was an unusual sounding album, very different than the other
- 13:15material that he did. But I really got into that Perry
- 13:18Mason, it was heavy as fuck. And it was like Perry Mason, you
- 13:25know? And Perry Mason was a lawyer, a
- 13:28sitcom or show that I used to watch all the time when I was a
- 13:30kid. Although I was into heavy metal
- 13:33and all kinds of different genres of music, I also like to
- 13:36watch TV shows that were CSI oriented, FBI type of stuff.
- 13:42And I also like to watch lawyer stuff and attorneys.
- 13:47I'm the type of guy that likes law and order.
- 13:50I like the just I like seeing the justice system where lawyers
- 13:55are really intelligent and the judges are somewhat fair and,
- 13:59and how the system works. I find that absolutely
- 14:02fascinating. I also love the attorney shows
- 14:05where you see a detective go out, start building the case
- 14:09together and bring it back to either the prosecution or the
- 14:14defense. So, yeah.
- 14:18All right. So back to us, that's important.
- 14:23Ozzy Osbourne and the band KISS are a lot like me in many ways,
- 14:28at least whenever it comes to our mentality.
- 14:31And I'll explain why on many, many occasions on YouTube.
- 14:36I've had it where I I felt like I've done enough.
- 14:40I gave all that I got and I have said I OK, I'm done with all
- 14:46this. It's time to retire, It's time
- 14:48to quit. Ozzy Osbourne and KISS has done
- 14:50that 100 times where they said, OK, it's time to retire.
- 14:55It's that final tour, it's that final thing that we're going to
- 14:59do. And then they come back like
- 15:01absolutely five months later to a year.
- 15:04And I understand how that is where you're fed up with
- 15:08bullshit and then you get you a couple weeks of sleep and you
- 15:11get some peace and quiet, or you vacation a little bit, or you
- 15:16get into some games or do something else with your life.
- 15:19And you start feeling that urge that my goodness, I want to get
- 15:23back in. I want to perform.
- 15:24I want to be able to, I want to be able to touch the masses.
- 15:29I want to be able to have that conversation again.
- 15:31I want to rock'n'roll. So I understood, I never held it
- 15:36against Kess or Ozzy Osbourne, but unfortunately Ozzy Osbourne
- 15:42is doing a final tour. This will be like his 101 deal.
- 15:47But there's a difference this time.
- 15:50This isn't some young man who's claiming he's ready to settle
- 15:54down. This is a man who's very old now
- 15:57and has serious health issues and probably won't be in the
- 16:01world too much longer. I'm sure that if Ozzy Osbourne
- 16:04was immortal, he would probably do this shit for the rest of
- 16:08eternity because he loves it. You can tell when you're looking
- 16:11at his face when he's performing that he absolutely loves it.
- 16:15It's his life, it's like his extension and it's probably
- 16:20going to be sickening for him to walk away from doing live stuff
- 16:25now. It is possible he may have an in
- 16:27home studio where every once in a while, whenever he feels up to
- 16:32it as an older man, he could sit down and record some music, just
- 16:36have some musicians come in. And you know, he's dealt with a
- 16:40lot of great guitarists, so it wouldn't be hard for him to
- 16:44throw out something online every once in a while.
- 16:47Or he could even get involved with helping other bands or or
- 16:52being someone who's good at advisory.
- 16:55He's done well at that in the past.
- 16:59Unfortunately, Ozzy's gotten to a point too.
- 17:02It's been in this way for a long time, but it's much worse now
- 17:05where he doesn't speak very good English, especially whenever the
- 17:10days of his drinking, he was absolutely incoherent, couldn't
- 17:15understand a word he said. So one last thing.
- 17:20There's a lot of people out there say, oh, Ozzy, Ozzy's a
- 17:24Satanist, Ozzy's a Ozzy's that even still today, there's people
- 17:28who spread rumors about them. So I went ahead and gathered a
- 17:32compilation of some of his quotes.
- 17:35He told the story a while back where him and his family were
- 17:38interested in trying church and going to church and trying out
- 17:42the whole Christian thing. According to Ozzy Osbourne and
- 17:46Sharon Osbourne, he was kicked out of the churches.
- 17:49They didn't even want to listen to him or get an idea of what he
- 17:53was up for. They didn't even try to bring
- 17:57salvation to him or sow any seeds.
- 17:59They just kicked his ass out the door.
- 18:01They said we don't want this kind of publicity, we don't want
- 18:04this kind of stuff. So the church basically turned
- 18:07away from him without even giving him 5 minutes of a
- 18:10chance. And it's one of the most
- 18:12ignorance has things that bothers me about religion.
- 18:16Not even to give a person a chance to fail somebody over
- 18:21imagery or a persona. They did the same thing Alice
- 18:25Cooper as well. And what's sad about it is Alice
- 18:28Cooper's father was a preacher and he's always been very open
- 18:32about his God beliefs. Alice Cooper has Oh, by the way,
- 18:37if you want to hear Alas, Cooper and Ozzy Osbourne do music
- 18:40together, listen to the Hey Stupid album.
- 18:44They do a a duet with each other.
- 18:48All right, so Ozzy has said Jesus Christ was the original
- 18:53rock star, rock'n'roll star. Just believe in the spirit that
- 18:57is within you. He also has said my idea of what
- 19:03God is should God should be a good guy.
- 19:06I don't think there's any good in killing people in the name of
- 19:09your God, he says. I'm getting older now, and at
- 19:14some point we all have to think about what happens next.
- 19:18I do believe in God, and I do believe there's something bigger
- 19:21than us. That was said in a 2020
- 19:23interview, he says. The funny thing is, I'm actually
- 19:29quite interested in the Bible and I've tried to read it
- 19:32several times, but I've only ever got as far as the bit about
- 19:36Moses being 720 years old and I'm like, what were these people
- 19:41smoking back then? From his lyrics?
- 19:45Miracle man, tell me I'm a Sinner.
- 19:48I got news for you. I spoke to God this morning and
- 19:51he don't like you. Don't you try and teach me no
- 19:55original sin? I don't need your pity for the
- 19:58shape I'm in. And this is what he thinks about
- 20:04religious critics. And remember they were pretty
- 20:08rough on him back in the day. I don't know how Christians
- 20:12treat him nowadays, but I know back then they called him
- 20:15everything in the book. And Ozzy Osbourne's response to
- 20:20them was the Jesus freaks were the worst.
- 20:24While the suicide solution case was going to the courts, they
- 20:27followed me around everywhere. They would pick up my shows with
- 20:32signs that read The Antichrist is here.
- 20:36And they'd always be chanting put Satan behind you.
- 20:40Put Jesus in front of you. One time I made my own sign a :)
- 20:45with the words have a nice day, and went out and joined them.
- 20:49They didn't even notice he says he went out into the crowd of
- 20:56Christians holding up a sign saying have a nice day and they
- 21:00didn't recognize him or no. I mean he did it right along
- 21:03with him. Oh goodness that's that's
- 21:06fucking great. I didn't even know that shit.
- 21:09That's amazing. In case you guys are wondering,
- 21:14I'm using an AI to give me all of this quotes and where the
- 21:18sources are and all that, and it's always been really good.
- 21:22I prefer AI grok 3.0 or 3.1 over that of Google.
- 21:29It gets right to the point and finds you exactly what you need
- 21:33specifically. So Ozzy Osbourne affected me
- 21:38because obviously he's one of the grandfathers of metal and
- 21:42I've always been a big fan of metal and rock'n'roll.
- 21:47I've also been fans of other genres of music.
- 21:50I attached myself to Pink Floyd, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath,
- 21:55Journey, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Skid Row, Faith No More.
- 22:02I even like some of the only some of Marilyn Manson's
- 22:06material. I like a lot of industrial, I
- 22:09like techno, I like some forms of rap out there, country music,
- 22:18I mean, you name it, I'm into everything.
- 22:20When it comes to opera, I'll listen to it, providing that
- 22:23Nightwish is playing it. Anything else?
- 22:25Nope, not interested. So that's where I'm at.
- 22:31I never got to go to an Ozzy Osbourne concert though, and the
- 22:36reason behind that is for the same reason why I wasn't able to
- 22:40do a lot of live performances in concert myself with my own band.
- 22:45I have my old agoraphobia. I can't go out on an in an arena
- 22:50or in some kind of big old stage where it's out looking
- 22:54overlooking a like a huge ceiling or sky type of thing,
- 22:58because it'll make my equilibrium go off.
- 23:03I'm sometimes it doesn't happen. It, it's not like it's automatic
- 23:08where it's just the moment you step into a, you know, a
- 23:13scenario like that doesn't start, it's just anxiety and
- 23:19panic attacks. They don't have like some kind
- 23:21of set up deal. You just know where you're
- 23:24persistently or consistently have them.
- 23:28So that always seems to be the case for me.
- 23:31So yeah, OK, so that's one of the major reasons why I don't go
- 23:37out on stage, but I am more than happy to do things at parties or
- 23:42more closed in dives or clubs or things like that.
- 23:47Well, honestly, not so much nowadays.
- 23:50I rather do things like live streaming.
- 23:54Too old to go out and do crazy shit.
- 23:56And I know what people are saying.
- 23:57Yeah, but Ozzy's like a century old and he's still doing it.
- 24:01Well, Ozzy's a different type of animal.
- 24:04That guy has done so many damn drugs in his life that he's like
- 24:07his own walking drug store and said.
- 24:10I think that some of that stuff's actually keeping his,
- 24:13his flesh attached to his bones. It's crazy.
- 24:19So Ozzy Osbourne's going to be doing his final Black Sabbath
- 24:22tour. It's basically the end of Ozzy
- 24:26Osbourne, and he's him and Sharon Osbourne have already
- 24:29invited a lot of great bands. Metallica is going to be there,
- 24:33Megadeth, tons and tons of musicians are going to be
- 24:37showing up and they're doing tributes, and that's great.
- 24:42And they should. Laura's Allred.
- 24:45She was one of the most arrogant, pompous, narcissistic
- 24:49assholes on the planet. Even shows absolute respect to
- 24:53Ozzy, as he should. Because if it wasn't for Ozzy,
- 24:57Metallica wouldn't have got a lot of the viewership they did.
- 25:00Many of you don't know this, but they're in the Ultimate Centaur,
- 25:04Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy Osbourne accepted Metallica and
- 25:08took them on the road with them. Metallica, when they first
- 25:11started out, they were very poor.
- 25:13They didn't have a lot of shit going for them, so they needed
- 25:16to basically ride on the backs of other musicians.
- 25:19Not to say that their music was less quality, it's just that
- 25:23they were fucking poor and they needed to work with people who
- 25:28were experienced in the business.
- 25:30He knew what they were doing and Ozzy Osbourne and his wife had
- 25:33been doing this shit for as long as I can remember.
- 25:37In fact, Sharon Osbourne is one of the big reasons why fucking
- 25:40Ozzy was able to become the the big icon that he is today.
- 25:46So his his wife was phenomenal. I don't know if they remarried
- 25:50or not. I know they were happy for a
- 25:52long time but then had some falling out.
- 25:56Who knows? A big old thing with the family
- 25:59and the kids. When that TV show came along.
- 26:06Well, we spent almost 30 minutes talking about Ozzy Osbourne, and
- 26:12I would recommend, ladies and gentlemen, if you enjoy music
- 26:16besides checking out my own music.
- 26:18If you've never listened to Ozzy Osbourne, don't let the imagery
- 26:23fool you. Don't let the the rumors and the
- 26:26gossip and the stupid stories that people told hold you back
- 26:30from listening. Ozzy Osbourne has quite the
- 26:33compilation of legendary, epic music.
- 26:37His lyrics are deep, They're intense, and he always tells a
- 26:42story within his music, and he's got no hatred towards God or
- 26:48religion. He has a problem with
- 26:50fundamentalists and fanatics and radicals just like any normal
- 26:54person out there. And this is his job.
- 26:57This is what he did. Ozzy Osbourne.
- 27:00Be the first one to tell you. If it wasn't for rock'n'roll and
- 27:04heavy metal, he would have probably ended up a fucking
- 27:07plumber or something, or something shitty.
- 27:10He was lucky enough to find the opportunity in a band like Black
- 27:13Sabbath to be able to get out there and and fulfill his
- 27:17dreams. He's an inspirational story,
- 27:20ladies and gentlemen. He went from nothing to being
- 27:23the great badass king of metal that he is today.
- 27:28He's phenomenal, period. And that's all I got to say.
- 27:32Ladies and gentlemen, you've been listening to Brett Keene
