Ozzy: Starting modeling was a happy accident, as I was scouted. At first, because I was 11, the idea sounded a bit scary… but my first job was amazing. Ozzy moves from one spectacularly insane recollection to another with little commentary. The stories are simply unbelievable but, I think, completely true. For 'normal' people, drinking four bottles of Hennessey per day is impossible to comprehend, but, I suspect, Ozzy is underestimating his intake....certainly not including the coke and beer he ingested (he even says at one point "beer doesn't count.") Hating people isn’t a productive way of living. So what’s the point in hating anyone? There’s enough hate in the world as it is, without me adding to it.” Andre’s father, who was emotionally and physically abusive, was a driving force in Andre’s early development as a gymnast. This probably is the funniest autobiography out there. I literally burst out laughing several times. Once I was at work, reading and couldn’t stop laughing, I even had tears in my eyes from so much laughter… Everyone was staring at me… but who cares, it was a hell of an experience!

I Am Ozzy Quotes by Ozzy Osbourne - Goodreads

Abgesehen von seiner eh schon wahnsinnig spannenden Dramaturgie des Lebens ist der sprachliche Stil des Buches zwar gut geschrieben aber voller Slangwörter, was ich mit einem normalen Wörterbuch in der Hand gar nicht geschafft hätte. Dank Leo-Online's Slangwörterbuch weiss ich jetzt so viele dirty words, dass meine Englischlehrerin in der Klosterschule (Schwester Marie-Agnes) wahrscheinlich der Schlag getroffen hätte. Aber ich habe viel gelernt und könnt nun schon in einem Pub in der Nähe von Birmingham diese ca. 20 Vokablen für unterschiedliche Schlägereien, bumsen, Beschimpfungen von Männern, Prostituierte.... (wohl gemerkt für jedes einzelne Wort) anbringen und somit auch vielleicht einen kleinen Eklat ala Ozzy Ozzbourne auslösen. VT: Being a model at a very young age must have its highs and lows. Therefore, who has been there guiding you? How has been the support of your family over these years?

Hats off to Chris Ayers who has taken Ozzy's recollections and turned them into a coherent narrative. The text is less detailed than in Tony Iommi's book, but perhaps that's because Tony didn't go quite as mad as Ozzy and can recall more? But saying this Ozzy has been on an amazing journey and there are laughs and moments of real sadness too. In a similar way to Tony Iommi, you get the impression that he does not posses isn't much of an ego. It seems like Ozzy has never forgotten his roots. He is also honest too. He feels remorse at the domestic violence and missing so much of his children's lives being high or drunk. There are moments of animal cruelty. He loves guns and he discusses the madness of the TV show. He gives us his thoughts on meeting the Queen and the President, being in jail, his love for Sharon, the list goes on and on. It's amazing how Ozzy is actually still alive, but he's live to tell the tale ... and what a tale it is. Three decades later, Ozzy recorded another version of the song, this time with his daughter, Kelly Osbourne as a duet. The revised lyrics for this version, released on 8 December 2003, reflect the moments of their life together. The single reached number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the second father-daughter duet to top the chart after Frank and Nancy Sinatra did so with " Somethin' Stupid" in 1967. [7] "Changes" also reached the top 20 in Germany, Ireland, and Norway. For instance, the book was provided to newlywed couples by the German government as a marriage gift during Hitler’s leadership in Germany. The author's youthfulness helps to assure the inevitable comparison with the Anne Frank diary although over and above the sphere of suffering shared, and in this case extended to the death march itself, there is no spiritual or emotional legacy here to offset any reader reluctance.

We should all take a couple of days to think about it,’ I said. ‘I dunno about you two, but I’ve got a special place where I go to get ideas for important stuff like this. It’s never failed me yet.’ Yes, he’s had quite an interesting AND CRAZY life! Yes, perhaps he’s a bit nuts at times (being kind!), but he’s also a kind and gentle soul underneath it all. The book was well worth the read and I may just read it again! So you can imagine how strange it was for me to see him years later bumbling around with his family on MTV. Who the hell was this guy? Although he did provide an excellent example of the 80’s campaign “this is what happens to your brain on drugs” (anyone remember that ad with the fried egg?) It was hard for me to comprehend that this was the same man, Ozzy was the devil not a man who lived in the English countryside with a wife and kids. I was intrigued enough that I had to read his biography, to figure out which Ozzy was the real Ozzy. The truth is though, they both are. Ozzy is the Alexander the Great of substance abuse, except that he didn't die in his early 30s despite every attempt to do so. The horror when he wakes up in jail not knowing why he is there and is told he tried to kill Sharon.The good thing is that if you do find Ozzy’s ways funny or at least tolerable, you’ll have a good time reading this bio that it’s exactly what I was expecting when I got it: a wild ride through the even wilder side of The Prince of Darkness a.k.a THE bad boy of Heavy Metal (and if not THE at least The Original one). I totally recommend it for anyone looking for a good laugh even if you’re no fan of Ozzy’s, perhaps it’s not the best written book of literature but it will give you a great time and many things to think about.

I survived a direct hit by a plane, suicidal overdoses, STDs. I've been accused of attempted murder. Then I almost died while riding over a bump on a quad bike at f**king two miles per hour.I’m happy that, through this book, I had the pleasure of UNDERSTANDING the human, Ozzy Osbourne, who also happens to be immortal (just kidding sort of!) ; be a husband, father, friend, band-mate, businessman, addict, etc. There’s a lot more to be done to improve equality across the board. We are one, regardless of color, gender, ability, and that has to be recognized; and if enough people shout about it, we will create change. Social media has the power to create change. Also ich fands witzig, gross- und einzigartig und jetzt schau ich mir auf jeden Fall auch noch die Serie an. I'll admit to not being an Ozzy fan. I can normally be found listening to indie pop. I don't dislike him, but his music just does nothing for me. It doesn't make me swoon.

Being one of the best autobiographies to read, the book explains Hitler’s political theory, including his views on the state, politics, and race. Not really knowing anything about the man, I truly can say I learned many interesting things that completely changed my view of Ozzy...all for the better. From bat-biting to the death of his guitarist in a horrible accident - every bit of his story was riveting.

Final Thoughts

If the authors are serious, this is a silly, distasteful book. If they are not, it’s a brilliant satire.
