   atman says regardless of Ozzy's drug/drinking problems, Sabbath made a monumental mistake kicking him out. Look what happened to their careers. Ozzy got his shit somewhat together and sold a zillion fucking records. Sabbath became underground. It's up to you to choose which was better. Some people dig the post-ozzy Sab because of the underground grungy vibe and dislike Oz cuz he sounded a bit more commercial. To me, it's tossup. I love Dio/Sabbath. One of my first concerts ever was Ozzy. Good post, brother.

   sedagive says I like (and have) all of the later stuff, but the "magic" was there with Ozzy. Dio helped them find themselves again for a while. Their album with Ian Gillian (Born Again) has some of the best (and most experimental) tracks Iommi ever laid down. Tony Martin did some cool vocals with them - Zero the Hero has the deepest, darkest, most grinding guitar I have ever heard anywhere. But it's all still about Ozzy with me - even though I am not all that big of an Ozzy solo fan.

   atman says I recently got "Iommi", his solo album. I can't remember who the vocalist was, which makes me feel like a shmuck, because it's a big name. Pretty sure it's not Ray Gillen. Shit, I can't remember who that was. Glen Hughes? I think that's it. But, it smokes. Great stuff. I think the rest of Sabbath carried off the heavy stuff, and Ozzy took a sort of pop-metal vibe with him. I dig both.

   sedagive says Yep. Glenn Hughes. He has several albums with Tony Iommi, actually. Fused is a good one. Iommi's first one using that name is a collection of works done with a bunch of different artists like Billy Corgan, Henry Rollins, and Billy Idol. It's the best thing he's done in the past 10 years, as far as non-Sabbath work goes. The track with Corgan, "Black Oblivion" is awesome. Turns out Corgan grew up listening to Sabbath and was heavily influenced by them.
