I saw Sabbath live when I was a teenager in the early aughts and they def still had it then, so I'm assuming the same up until that final show. RIP

Yep, saw them at Ozzfest 20+ years ago, and even then they were "old". But they crushed!

RIP to a legend

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

I'm sure he's in hell now, having a blast.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 14 points 2 days ago

Wow. That's a pretty long life, all things considered. May he rest peacefully.

This one is tough. I wasn't an Ozzy super fan or anything, but at the time I grew up (70s - 80s), there was no avoiding him.
I listen to some of the older Black Sabbath songs differently now as well, and have a different appreciation for them. Doesn't stop me from doing some air guitar in the car though.

🤘RIP Ozzy🤘 You certainly didn't die as an ordinary man.

Just back home, to hell, and rock forever.

His voice and music will be with us forever too.

Crazy train arrived on the last station. Rock in peace

[–] AncientSoul@reddthat.com 9 points 2 days ago

Rest now you madman! Hope you got to ride the crazy train across Styx!

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wow for some reason I thought he was way older.

I was never really into his music, but after seeing his farewell tour and how he passed the torch to youngblud it just reminds me type of man he was, and the world isn't as good as it once was without him.
