Listening to bits and pieces of The Essential Ozzy Osbourne right now and I want to ****ing vomit
I've listened to this in the past and I usually can't get through more than a couple of songs. Ozzy and Sharron should be publically be beaten up my midgets... monkey midgets, with wings... then left to sleep in pig slop for a couple of days for putting this out. Seriously, this is the worst bastardization of someone's own work that has ever been done.
Everyone made a huge deal about the reworking of Ozzy's first two albums (Blizzard and Diary), but there is NEVER any attention that is given to how he shit all over Jake E Lee's guitar work on the "remasters" of Bark At The Moon and The Ultimate Sin. It's freakin' shameful, disgusting and it hurts my ears.
The same shitty versions are on his Prince of Darkness box set, which is the reason I will NEVER own that travesty either. Ugh. UGH and more UGH!!!
