Ozzy Osbourne,Zakk Sabbath/CA,USA 2018

Unfortunately, Ozzy Osbourne’s visit to Japan has been cancelled. The latest and best live album is now available. It is a luxurious 3-disc set including ZAKK SABBATH of the same day. This work includes Ozzy’s last show to date, “December 31, 2018 Inglewood Performance.” It is the super best audience recording. This show was “OZZFEST 2018” which was held as a countdown event to welcome 2019. Originally, they were scheduled to go on a full-fledged European tour, Oceania, and visit Japan after this show, but they were hospitalized due to complications from influenza and bronchitis. He is currently receiving treatment and has apparently recovered to the point where he can breathe on his own, but at 70 years old, respiratory problems could end the singer’s life. Fans around the world have expressed their concerns. In order to record the circumstances, let’s organize Ozzy’s recent situation in chronological order. ●2018・April 27th – July 8th: North America #1/South America/Europe (26 performances)・August 30th – October 4th: North America #2 (17 performances)《October 6th: Hand Hospitalized for surgery》×October 6th-11th: North America (postponed)・December 31st: OZZFEST (1 performance)←★Here★ ●2019《January 29th: Tour postponed due to influenza》× January 30th – March 3rd: Europe (postponed) 《February 19th: Ozzy’s visit to Japan canceled announced》 x March 9th – 16th: Oceania (cancelled) x March 21st: DOWNLOAD JAPAN ( Cancelled) May 29th – July 29th: North America #3 (27 performances) *Note: “X” indicates canceled performances. The above is the progress since the start of “NO MORE TOURS II”. In fact, in October 2018, she suffered complications due to a cut on her hand, leading to an uproar of cancellation. I had just realized the reality of being 70 years old. The transfer performance was also in 2019, and the countdown show was realized because Ozzy, who had time for the New Year holidays, joked that he had “no place to go on New Year’s Eve.” However, as the important year of 2019 dawned, I contracted the flu. 21 shows have been canceled, and we are unable to perform even a single show until May’s North American tour, which includes rescheduled performances. [Disc 1-2: Ozzy’s full live album] Now. What is recorded in this work is the latest live performance that Ozzy was able to perform after a series of troubles. It is a show where you can experience a simulated performance in Japan that has been cancelled. What’s more, the quality is top notch! The master was released after he was hospitalized due to influenza, but it is a transcendental recording that blows away its preciousness and can be declared “Tour No. 1”. What’s most amazing is his straight-shooting core, which doesn’t make you think he’s an audience member. There is no sense of distance, it flies straight into your ear, and the details are super delicate. Even if I listened with headphones, I couldn’t feel the acoustics of the venue, and the only evidence of the audience recording was the lively applause that erupted between songs. At first, I wondered if they were actually IEMs, but the natural balance and sound are too beautiful for that. As a matter of fact, there were few recordings of “NO MORE TOURS II” that reached the “transcendence” level, but this work heals that dryness at once. It is a transcendent piece that can be called “just like a sound board” without any questions or answers. The show drawn with that quality is one of the best performances in “NO MORE TOURS II”. I haven’t had the flu yet, and the cancellation in October was just due to a hand injury, so I’m fine with my health. Rather, he is burning with desire to get rid of the frustration of having the event cancelled. In “Suicide Solution”, he did a lot of work (bitter smile), but other than that, it is a show that is unusually strong in recent years. After “Fairies Wear Boots” there is also a countdown to 2019. And above all, Zakk Wylde. He is now Ozzy’s strongest right-hand man, surpassing even Iommi, and his free-spirited guitar is a huge explosion. Far from weakening, it’s even more fierce and heavy with its incredible hitting. All songs feature the same aggressive playing style as in “LIVE & LOUD”. In particular, the power of the big medley placed right in the middle is amazing. Too amazing. “War Pigs”, which lasts over 13 minutes, is bombastic, and then a sharp instrumental medley descends into an avalanche. From “NO REST FOR THE WICKED” to “OZZMOSIS,” he constantly plays the famous riffs and solos. From there, the drum solo → “I Don’t Want To Change The World” and a large medley of about 28 minutes are like a 70’s BLACK SABBATH jam section. That long highlight feeling that was not reproduced even in the original SABBATH’s “THE END” is drawn by Zack’s hands. Even more intense is the tone that gives off even sex appeal. It’s not just brutality, but that unique tone becomes even more lustrous and glaring. The compatibility with Ozzy’s unique voice is wonderful, and Zack is truly the strongest right-hand man. It is a super recording that allows you to enjoy the tone clearly and clearly. [Disc 3: Full recording of ZAKK SABBATH on the same day] This work also includes ZAKK’s stage on the same day. It’s not BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, it’s ZAKK SABBATH. This is a trio unit that covers BLACK SABBATH. The bass player is Blasco, who is also a member of Ozzy Band, and the drummer is Joey Castillo, a power hitter known for QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, EAGLES OF DEATH METAL, ZILCH, etc. Although it was not announced, ZAKK SABBATH was also scheduled to come to Japan as a set with Ozzy, but the set was also canceled. This also has an excellent sound. In fact, there is a sense of instability as if trying the recording position in preparation for Ozzy’s main story, but the personalities are very similar. This also has a strange direct feeling and sound board class details in common, and it runs through a full stage of about 72 minutes. And the show is also amazing. “Fairies Wear Boots” and “War Pigs” are avoided, but while also using the original SABBATH’s “Supertzar,” “Embryo,” and “Orchid,” the song includes a lot of great songs from “BLACK SABBATH” to “SABBATH BLOODY SABBATH.” Play and howl. They will also perform “A National Acrobat” which cannot be expected from the original, but what is more important is the way they play without feeling like copying it completely. Rather than copying the original, he plays his own way, including his trademark picking harmonics. Normally you would think, “If it’s a cover, be respectful!”, but that’s not the case, so Zack is amazing. Although it may be selfish, I don’t feel like I attached it to that phrase at all. There is no doubt that the riffs/phrases stick to the soul level, and he is very familiar with the dynamism of the song and the pleasure points of the riff. Moreover, I don’t get the sense that they’re going out of their way to make improvements. It’s completely different, but the soul is SABBATH. “Snowblind” and “N.I.B.” are over 8 minutes long, and “Into The Void” is a super heavy jam that lasts over 13 minutes. SABBATH music flows through their veins, and the sweaty rock that comes out of them is intense. Unfortunately, the performance in Japan ended up being a phantom. If it had been realized, what a wonderful show it would have been to listen to…This is a masterpiece of a live album that will tell you with the best sound. Will Ozzy really come back to the scene in May? The situation is still unpredictable. The Forum, Inglewood, CA, USA 31st December 2018 TRULY PERFECT SOUND OZZY OSBOURNE Disc 1(51:09) 1.
