| | Meat Loaf VH1 Storytellers CD Meat Loaf Discography of CDs
Given his flair for drama and audience communication, VH1 STORYTELLERS was a natural choice for Meat Loaf. This CD captures all the charisma and bombast that is Mr. Loaf, all within an intimate setting that works perfectly.
If there were ever songs that deserved the Storyteller treatment, those songs are Meat Loaf's. Audience members comment on and ask questions about tunes that they grew up with and feel were written for THEM. Meat Loaf explains that "More Than You Deserve" was the first Jim Steinman-penned composition he ever sang, and that it was in a downtown production of the same name. Meat also explains that the original length for Steinman's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" was 27 minutes, before proceeding into a wonderfully theatrical version of it. Patti Russo's powerful vocals complement Meat's wonderfully. Meat explains how "Bat Out of Hell" was inspired by PSYCHO and launches a rockin' rendition of the 11-minute opus. The beautiful bonus studio track "Is Nothing Sacred" rounds out the disc. VH1 STORYTELLERS works on many levels. In particular, Meat's songs, which have always been spectacular live, are given extra depth. Highly recommended.
Recorded live at Metropolis Studios, New York, New York in October 1998. Includes liner notes by Bill Flanagan.
Personnel: Meat Loaf (vocals, guitar); Ray Anderson (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Tom Brislin (vocals, piano); Patti Russo, Pearl Aday (vocals); Damon La Scot (guitar); Kasim Sulton (acoustic guitar, bass guitar); John Miceli (drums).

| | Ozzy Osbourne Ozzmosis CD (1995) Remastered
VH1 Storytellers songs
 $7.59 
Let us all be thankful that Ozzy's retirement didn't stick. It supposedly lasted for three days, after which he got bored and started working on this project. Heavy, riff-intensive tunes, progressive song structures and a little psychedelia give OZZMOSIS a definite Sabbath flavor. Ozzy must have been in touch with whatever inspired early classics like PARANOID and MASTERS OF REALITY. Witness the extremely chunky "Thunder Underground," which can stand up next to "Sweet Leaf" and "Symptom Of The Universe" as an archetype of hard rock. The trippy guitar in "Ghost Behind My Eyes" and "Denial" are not some young Ozzy-wannabe going for a retro sound--this man was there, "Planet Caravan"ing.
Still, this heavy metal daddy in touch with his roots is also hip to the genre's latest sound. OZZMOSIS has a live, up-front feeling, thanks to producer Michael Beinhorn (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden). Zakk Wylde's huge, raw guitar also plays a major role. He provides scorching solos, lush textures and juicy fills with a muscular tone and minimal effects--the perfect complements to Osbourne's songwriting.
But more important than the raging guitars and the big sound is attitude. Ozzy's spunk has ...
| | Ozzy Osbourne The Ozzman Cometh CD (2002)
VH1 Storytellers album
$9.69 
THE OZZMAN COMETH is a single CD collection of hits, previously unavailable recordings and one new track. Previously included a limited edition second disc containing 2 of the 4 previously unavailable recordings as well as an interview with Ozzy Osbourne.
As if we needed another reason to believe that Ozzy Osbourne is God, along comes THE OZZMAN COMETH, a double CD retrospective of one of the most enduring and influential figures in heavy metal. Consisting mostly of his post-Black Sabbath solo work as well as a live version of "Paranoid," this collection's biggest asset is the so-called "basement tapes," never-before-heard rehearsal tapes of four classic Sabbath songs. Dating back to 1970, "Black Sabbath" and "War Pigs" are the songs that transformed a petty thief from Birmingham, England into the godfather of heavy metal.
But if Sabbath cemented his place in the rock 'n' roll canon, his solo work raised him to legendary status. Working with former Quiet Riot guitarist Randy Rhoads, Osbourne set the tone for the 80's metal revival with ...
