Heavy Metal Sunday goes off the rails

[gridlore]

Ozzy Osbourne wasn't always the bloated, mumbling wreck we see today. After leaving Black Sabbath in 1979, he released a series of stellar metal albums in the early and mid-80s that cemented his title as the Prince of Darkness. This success was aided by the amazing guitar work of Randy Rhodes.

Today, we go all the way back to the beginning of the trip; the first single off Ozzy's first solo album, Blizzard of Oz: Crazy Train

Ah. The classics. I always liked him and Lita Ford's 'Close My Eyes Forever'. Now that was a rock ballad!

So, what's your opinion of A Tout La Monde with Dave Mustaine and Cristina Scabbia?

I don't think I've heard that one. My education isn't nearly as good as yours!

On the monitors behind the band you can see cuts from the original music video for the song.

Upon further viewing, I think I have seen that before, (probably on Heavy Metal Sunday!!!). I watched both the duet and the 'original' Megadeath version and I gotta say, the duet is cool, but the original is better.
I dunno, there's just something about 'Close Your Eyes' (maybe nostalgia!) that I just like better.
But 'A Tout La Monde' has definitely been added to my awesome list!
Thanks!
