OZZY OSBOURNE Wrote His Autobiography With A Pencil, Says SHARON
- Oct. 7, 2009
|
|
According to Metro.co.uk, Sharon Osbourne has revealed that her husband Ozzy wrote his autobiography with a pencil. The former BLACK SABBATH singer released his book, "I Am Ozzy", in the U.K. on October 1. Asked whether she had a hand in its creation, Sharon said, "No. It's his autobiography. He did it all by himself — with a pencil." An exclusive extract from the autobiography — in which Ozzy recalls the booze, the bedlam and the bat — can be found at Times Online. Ozzy signed copies of his memoir on Friday, October 2 at HMV in London, England. The book was originally slated to arrive almost two years ago but was delayed twice. A short video report on the signing session from ITN can be viewed below. "I Am Ozzy" chronicles the star's humble beginnings in the U.K. to his current position as international music and TV celebrity. Publisher Antonia Hodgson called the book "fantastic," adding that it was "very much in the tone of his voice, very funny and a very full story." A U.S. publication date has yet to be announced. Ozzy's wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, published her own best-selling memoir in 2005, called "Extreme: My Autobiography". A second volume was rushed out in 2008 after Ozzy's book was delayed. A documentary about Ozzy's life and career, called "Wreckage Of My Past", is due out in early 2010. Ozzy is working on a new album that he expects to release next year.

Sometimes I think Sharon makes quotes like these to watch us make counter-comments such as the following...
Ozzy's so fucked, he probably wrote in crayon, on a collection of kids placemats at the local McDonald's.

... this jerk can't even write his own songs, much less a book. no one writes a book themselves anyway. all they do is scribble the basic ideas, then it goes through a writer, an editor, a proofreader, etc etc etc. in other words, ozzy can write "i was hungry" and by the time it gets to the printing press it'll be 8 pages of useless junk. the sad part is, someone will actually buy this garbage ...

"the booze, the bedlam and the bat" or "the booze, the bedlam and the bitch"
no matter, Ozzy can only remember as far back as a couple days so he probably had no problem writing it by himself in a couple of hours.

Ozzy had to write with a pencil cause you can't erase with a pen.

On UK TV (Graham Norton show), Ozzy admitted he didn't write it. It's another case of the ghost writer stringing the words together into an interesting story. Just about all celebrities use ghost writers.

Ozzy is still the godfather of heavy metal, it dosent matter what anybody says. Sure his wife is a bitch but she takes care of him and has for along time and thats what marriage is about. Ozzy should always be respected regardless of the crap that goes on around him. Do you think it was Ozzy who wanted Zakk out? No it was Sharon and I know the facts surrounding the situation..he hasn't spoken to Zakk cause Sharon wont let him...plan and simple

He shakes to damn bad to hold a pencil. If it is anything like the microphone--he picks it up, puts it down. Repeat for an hour an a half.

Do you do what your boss whants you to do? If you don't what happens? Do you listen to your wife/husban? If you don't wahat could happen? Doyou listen to friends/family?
Sharon is wife and manager to Ozzy. She has made him a lot of money over the years.
What would have happened to Oz if he was in charge of his own career? He was managed in Sabbath, when he left he was nothing, another manager picked him up (short version) and gave him a second career.
Problem? Not that I can see.

Ozzy isn't the godfather of jack shit. Tony Iommi was, is, and always will be Black Sabbath, Ozzy's voice just happened to fit the music they were writing at the time. Ozzy didn't write any of the material of Black Sabbath, he just sung along with the guitar part 90% of the time. When he got his own solo band, he still didn't write the majority of the material, he put his name on Randy Rhoads' music to sell records.

KILLINSEASON - Correction: Ronnie James Dio is the godfather of Heavy Metal.
Some may say Lemmy but you cant be god and the godfather at the same time so he's out.
and... he used pencil because Sharon decided pens are too expensive.

Then the First Lady walked into the room, with George W. Bush following her. And the first thing he said when he reached the podium was: “Laura and I are honoured to be here tonight. What a fantastic audience we have tonight: Washington power-brokers, celebrities, Hollywood stars . . . and Ossie Ozz-Burn!”
By that time I was well and truly blasted, so as soon as I heard my name, I jumped up on the table like a drunken arsehole and screamed: “Yeeeeeehhaaaaaa!!” It brought the house down. But I was f***ed, so I didn’t know when to stop.
I just stayed up there, going, ‘Yeeeeeeeehhaaaaaa!!’ until the whole room of 1,800 people went silent.
Bush looked at me.
“Yeeeeeeehhaaaaaa!!” I screamed again.
Silence.
“OK, Ozzy,” snapped Bush. On the tape, you can even hear him say: “This might have been a mistake.”
HAHAHA THIS IS WORTH THE BUY ALONE!!!!

First and formost - I love all the early shit that this fucker has done, up to and including No More Tears, anything else after that you can just throw in the toilet.
Secondly, I can't stand the fact that this fucking guy went on to meet up with that stand up guy "W", and stoop as low as recording a gay-ass tune with fucking Jessica Simpson...and then he had to work with Kevin fucking Churko - who's a "famous metal producer"...
Ozzy gets a lifetime achievement award - for passing a driving test.
Then, he's due for another award, presented by Steve Vai, from the Make a Noise foundation for kids - for finally writing a song all on his own - w/out the help of Iommi, Butler, Rhoads, Jake E Lee, Zakk Wylde, Joe Holmes, Steve Vai, Dave Grohl and the others - it contains at least one chord and a mumble.
Mumble on Ozzy, mumble on. Too bad you had come to this.
Let's hear him dig out the rare shit from the vualts - like the demos with Steve Vai, and one more solid live album from the Rhoads years
