hey is the Sting of Darkness. Becasue both him and Sting were in cool bands that most people really like, but everything the have done since pretty much sucks. has anyone heard worse covers then shit off teh new osbourne under cover album? what a fucking joke. Prince on the other hand is cool. therefore from now on Ozzy is teh Sting of Darkness

    Actually I find the early solo career of both, Ozzy and Sting, pretty charming... but yeah, they went downhill and today both of them bore and annoy me to death. I've been to concerts of both many years ago -well, like 8 or something- and they were pretty cool experiences, but now I wouldn't go for anything, even if it was for free I'd have to think it twice.

    Ever since The Osbournes made it's debut, I haven't looked at Ozzy the same way.

    Matthew fucking Heafy will be the "new Prince of Darkness" in the near future..and he is only 19..

    but Ozzy will always be the original.

    Ozzy is the prince of darkness because without Black Sabbath there would be no metal/altnerative rock/anything as we know it.

    just as punk rock wouldn't exist without the Who.

    long live prince Ozzy as far as i'm concerned..

    sure his solo career has been lacking... but attribute that to people like Zach Wylde who overdo every guitar track they've ever done more than ozzy..
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..

    I'm not saying he's not influential but thanks for missing out on my point. What I said is they shouldn't call him the "prince" of darkness rather the "sting" becasue of his wretched solo career. if he was teh "Prince" of Darkness then you know he could bring the funk AND wail on guitar

    I love Sabbath's first eight albums...and I love The Police's first four records. These are some of my favorites indeed. But Jesus H., dude, have you ever listened to Diary of A Madman???!!! Over the Mountain alone pretty much tops anything he did on Technical Ecstacy and Never Say Die with Black Sabbath. He needed a change after the latter. Nothing Like the Sun, Soul Cages or Bring on the Night, IMO, are soooooooo much better than Syncroniciity? I think Sting needed out of Police after their last original one too (Stewart Copeland is my all-time fave drummer).

    I don't care for Ozzy's solo stuff these days (since Bark at the Moon) -- although I did see Sabbath in Detroit this past summer and it was a real treat considering...

    Oh, and I never really think of Oz as a Prince of Darkness...Maybe Sharon and the chit-rens do, but I don't.

    No More Tears being somewhat of an exception, and also maybe his EARLY solo work, Ozzy just isn't that good stand alone. Black Sabbath kinda went downhill after he was fired, as well. They didn't hit bottom, however, until Ronnie James Dio left in '83.

    I know some of you are gonna want to kick my ass, but with the exception of "Every Breath You Take," and "Message In A Bottle," I didn't really like the police. And Sting has always sucked solo. He had his moments, however.

    Ozzy's early solo stuff is spectacular... He is and always will be the Prince of Darkness...although I agree his new stuff is a bit soft. You can't say anything bad about his days with Randy Rhodes or Jake E Lee however!

    i don't like what ozzy has done after his departure from Black Sabbath...The Osbournes is just one example...
