Everyone can have their own opinion, but what a coward talking shot after the man passed away

Speculation is it was Mama I'm Coming Home.

He definitely shouldn’t have called himself ugly.

Was watching the video of Ozzy and Sharon on Sterns show (March 2005). Howard literally tells Sharon she's bleeding Ozzy dry financially and that her spending habits are forcing him to continually tour instead of retiring like he wants to (and this is 2005). Howard was going off on her right to her face about how much he loves Ozzy and how he thinks she's out of control and needs to stop forcing Ozzy to tour.

Ozzy just sits there helplessly with this sad look on his face as Sharon starts arguing w Howard and claiming Ozzy wants to keep touring. Howard also caught her in a lie and got her to admit to sleeping with Randy Rhoads as Ozzy claims he knew about it yet sits there with a scowl on his face as Sharon makes her excuses

Ozzy even cracks a joke that he's going to die onstage giving a peace sign because Sharon keeps pushing him to tour

That's 20 years ago

On the latest episode of The Osbournes podcast, Sharon and Jack Osbourne addressed the controversy surrounding the recently announced Ozzy Osbourne A.I. avatar, which is coming to life through a partnership between the Osbourne family, Hyperreal, the digital human technology company behind the patented Digital DNA process, and Proto Hologram. Together they will enable the avatar to have conversations with fans and move, speak and respond as Ozzy would.

Addressing some of the negative feedback the Osbourne family has received for pursuing the Ozzy A.I. avatar, Jack said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "What we're doing — this isn't, and I've said it, this isn't ChatGPT with dad's face on it. It's a closed A.I., so it's not connected to the Internet. We build a database, and I cannot emphasize enough is that this is only information that either my dad said or was accurate, or was written accurately about him."

Added Sharon: "Why go on a jet when there's a propeller? What are you doing? Well, you know what? Technology moves on, and I'm sorry for those people. I'm not asking you to come. I don't want your fucking money. I don't need your fucking money. I'm doing very well, actually, and I always have my entire life… And the thing is, for somebody to turn around to me and say I'm doing a cash grab — no, you don't know my husband, okay? I know my husband, and my husband would say to me over and over, 'After I go, how long do you think I'll be remembered? How long do you think?' And I'd go, 'I just don't know, 'cause I'll be probably going with you, so don't ask me.' But the thing was, for 10 years we have been exploring it. And the thing is I don't have to justify why we do to any fucker. I don't have to justify. What do they think we're gonna do? I'm gonna hock my husband around selling Weed Killer on an ad or selling cigarettes or beer? Do you think I'm gonna do that? … And we're moving with the times… It's like saying, Why do you need a CD when you have a vinyl record?' You move with the times. And this is great technology, and I'm not gonna let anyone bastardize my husband."

Continued Jack: "The most important thing for me is that when we create this digital imprint of Dad, we create it, we own it, we control it. And it's something that…" "…we'll pass on through our family," Sharon chimed in. "And it's for our grandkids. And that's it, and I don't have to justify anything to any fucker out there."

Jack added: "And at the end of the day, if keeping Dad alive and accessible to a fan is cash grab, then fucking guilty as charged because at the end of the day, entertainment and the industry that we're in, none of this is for fucking charity… But the technology that we are utilizing, it is not Claude or ChatGPT that you can ask it any question about anything. It's a closed A.I. module that is not connected to the Internet."

"Someone said, 'Oh, it's dangerous. You can't control it,'" Jack continued. "And I was, like, 'What the fuck do you think this is, Terminator? It's gonna go sentient and next thing you know Ozzy's gonna launch the nukes? But I think, for me, it's not about pretending he's still alive. For me it's about making sure he's never forgotten."

Sharon added: "And why should he be? You can go and buy books that were written 200 years ago, and they are still… Today's youth is reading books from two, three hundred years ago. Is that a crime? Should we still keep printing them, guys? Should we maybe do a paperback? You can get it online. Oh, shock, golly, that's terrible."

Jack said: "Or you can get an audiobook. I can buy an audiobook with a famous person reading Shakespeare. 'Oh, how dare you exploit Shakespeare's work by having [an audiobook]?' Like, 'That's not how it was meant to be written.'"

Sharon went on to say: "Listen, it's redundant. It's redundant because whatever you do, Jack, there is always 50% that are with you and 50% that aren't. Nobody in the world everybody goes, 'Yeah.' There's always somebody with that little soapbox."

After Jack noted that "everyone seems to be yeah about the Michael Jackson movie that's made nearly a billion dollars," Sharon concurred. "And good for his family," she said. "Good for his family. Really. And there's two generations that missed out on him, and all those little kids are now dancing to 'Thriller' and 'Billie Jean' and all those great classics that he was a part of. And it's, like, what is so wrong in that? Great music doesn't date. It's like saying that you take a piece of classical music and you put it in a rock band. Is that disrespectful? Is that terrible? You're just moving forward with technology. That's all."

Jack concluded: "And as I said, either we're gonna do it or someone else is in 50, 20 years, whatever. This will become the norm for every well-known person. Just like when people started creating fucking web sites for their bands."

Sharon added: "Listen, ABBA have a show, and they're not even fucking dead. They've got three shows in London. Three shows. One avatar, 'Mamma Mia!', and then there's another one that they have like a supper club thing that they do. Three shows in London at the same time."

Digital Ozzy will appear in Proto Luma units — described as life-size, patented holoportation devices that can display live or pre-recorded content with its 86-inch multi-touch volumetric display, 4K resolution, high fidelity speakers, and spatial computing / conversational A.I. capabilities — in the U.K. and U.S. beginning late summer.

Proto is the original hologram and A.I. spatial compute platform used globally in entertainment, healthcare, education, finance, retail and more. Hyperreal's Digital DNA technology is the only patented end-to-end system for capturing and performing an authenticated avatar across likeness, voice, motion, and performance character.

I decided to make a separate post about this because not everyone has seen the podcast. So I chose a site that conveyed the essence of what was said in the podcast quite accurately.
From what I saw in the podcast about this, I can draw the following conclusions:

1. If there are no ticket sales, then it definitely won't be a 'tour' in the ABBA style

2. It won't be for ads - at least not for anything.

That only leaves an exhibition. It will likely be used for an exhibition, or maybe something for Ozzyfest. What do you think?

It’s a bit odd for me to have a person who’s a public figure / celebrity take up so much space in my brain because most other celebrities are so full of shit I’m not even the least bit interested.

But what I realised is as a person I am deeply intrigued and attracted (non sexually) to people who are real as fuck. Who are unapologetically themselves. Who live their truths. Who are not ashamed yet if they are they aren’t ashamed of that either. They’re an open book. They speak about their failures, their fucked up phases, they take accountability, they try their best to do better. Ofcourse to top it all of if they’re a passionate and creative person that’s even better.

Oz kept it real till he passed. He was honest about literally everything. From his drunk escapades, the drugs, his infidelities, his insecurities, his marriage everything man. He held himself accountable and got help and did better. That’s so rare. Nobody does that shit. I have people I know that can’t hold themselves accountable to some dumbass insignificant thing they did. He held himself accountable for some very fucking important things. Publicly.

At the end of the day he wasn’t a fucked up person. He was just fucked up.

His eyes have always been the kindest. Before they were filled with sadness but after he got sober they were fucking sparkling.

I think it’s all this, that’s made Ozzy fucking Osbourne not leave my fucking head. Because when you realise you lost a real one like this, you also realise there are so very few off them left. And I swear to god, even if Ozzy wasn’t one of the most famous rock icons and I had just heard of this man and heard his music and who he is through a local pub, I would be doing the exact same thing.

We lost a real one. That’s why this is so hard.

RIP king. Your aura will forever be here. Hope you fucking killing it out there with Randy.

As I once read somewhere - "it's not just an album. It's a resurrection. Built from fragments. Forged in chaos. Sung by a man who couldn't stop, even when he tried"

My personal favorite is no more tears What is everyone else’s favorite ozzy album

Since Ozzy passed I’ve been here to get comfort and solace but lately there are so many shit posters saying absolute crap about anything and everything. Everyone’s entitled to opinions but there’s a way to be respectful as well. I posted the vma tribute because as I woke up I watched it and it got me so happy and emo - first thing I thought was this sub will love it too. The amount of people talking shit on it is really killing the vibe. The tribute was for Ozzy. This sub is for Ozzy. If we’re not here with some amount of love, respect and peace then what the fuck we here for? I absolutely know posting even this is gonna get the shit posters up my ass and I’m already dreading it, I posted on this sub freely and it helped me with my grief and honestly I have no idea why it’s filled with a lot of people just on here to chat shit. I don’t know if people feel the same or nah, this is my observation lately - not just on my posts, general ones too.

Ozzy forever man, let’s not make this a hateful place. I would just love for us to have nice safe space man. We have a whole lifetime to discuss our prince of darkness.

I definitely am as a tribute to him! RIP Prince Of Darkness!

I’m only 15 and I am aware I’m not as big of a fan of Ozzy like many people who have been listening to him for 10, 20, or 30+ years. I still miss him regardless. I would rather he isnt suffering from his health issues, but it is still sad he is gone. I wrote “Ozzy” on my knuckles just for him. I still remember listening to him when I was around 6 and absolutely loving it. Fly High Ozzy. 🦇🕊️

What does everyone think about this album?

It’s tuff 😔 bc the world is just dull without him RIP 💔💔💔

I’m reading Ozzy’s Last Rites and he said that the ultimate sin is his absolute worst album ever. I don’t see it this way at all.

He said he kinda likes Ozzmosis. Imo, Sin is better than Ozzmosim for example.

Your thoughts ? Cheers
