Search - Ozzy Osbourne :: Live at Budokan (Clean) [CLEAN] [LIVE]

The mind-bending success of the reality TV series The Osbournes has made Ozzy Osbourne more famous for his shaky hands and swearing tantrums than infernal heavy-metal racket. Time for a quick fix, then. Recorded at the Tokyo arena first made famous by Cheap Trick's 1979 disc Live at Budokan, Live at the Budokan (note subtle difference) is a rudimentary primer on Osbourne's musical activities over the last 30-odd years. There are serviceable renditions of monster solo hits like "No More Tears" and "Bark at the Moon," an encore of Black Sabbath's warhorse "Paranoid," and an impressive amount of cursing between songs. Astoundingly, Osbourne sounds no worse for wear than he did on 1993's similarly primordial--if slightly more generous--Live & Loud. --Aidin Vaziri
