< John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born December 3, 1948) is the lead vocalist of the pioneering English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, a popular solo artist and the star of the reality show, The Osbournes. In addition to lead vocals with Black Sabbath, Osbourne also plays the harmonica, and synthesizer. Black Rain is the title of Ozzy Osbourne's ninth studio album, released May 22, 2007 on Epic Records. Black Rain is the follow up to Osbourne's 2001 release Down to Earth. Short previews of most of the songs are available on ozzy.com, and the first single, "I Don't Wanna Stop", was released on Ozzy.com on April 13th. Osbourne has stated that this is the first album he has recorded sober. It featured a new musical style for him and was his first album to feature elements of industrial metal. Though his lyrical style remained similar to before, the album featured many elements not seen in previous albums, such as distorted vocals, heavier guitars, and the higher usage of synthesizers. The latter may be because of the fact that this is the first album to not feature a keyboardist in Osbourne's backup band, and guitarist Zakk Wylde filled the spot for the album, and sometimes chose to add a keyboard solo to a song rather than a guitar solo. The album was released in several different versions.Disc 101 - Not Going Away 02 - I Don't Wanna Stop 03 - Black Rain 04 - Lay Your World On Me 05 - Almighty Dollar 06 - 11 Silver 07 - Civilize The Universe 08 - Here For You 09 - Countdown's Begun 10 - Trap DoorDisc 201 - I Don't Wanna Stop [Live] 02 - Not Going Away [Live] 03 - Here For You [Live] 04 - Nightmare 05 - I Can't Save You 06 - Love To HateLINK <-- Posted By Fremy to Musicvault< 2/14/2008 10:31:00 AM--FremyVisit my music blog at (clone)
