| | Ozzy Osbourne Under Cover CD Ozzy Osbourne Discography of CDs
 (4 Customer Reviews)
Ozzy Osbourne is revered as many things: a heavy-metal icon, a reality-TV star, and godhead of the longest running rock festival tour in the history of the business. The Ozzy branding is a multimedia phenomenon, leaving nothing undone - except perhaps, until now, an all-covers album paying tribute to songs near and dear to John "Ozzy" Osbourne's heart.
First served up as gravy in the PRINCE OF DARKNESS box set, UNDER COVER is now available as a stand alone release, featuring several additional tracks. Putting the Ozzy stamp on Mountain ("Mississippi Queen") and Cream ("Sunshine Of Your Love") rockers seems logical enough, although some metalheads may be surprised by the lighter fare. Ozzy expresses his admiration for his beloved Beatles with two John Lennon solo cuts, as well as a poignant version of "In My Life." Also left off the earlier release but found on UNDER COVER, are Ozzified takes on Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" and the Moody Blues' "Go Now." While shred guitar devotees may find the absence of Zakk Wylde disappointing, supporting the Ozzman are capable metal stalwarts Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains) on guitar, Chris Wyse (The Cult) on bass, and longtime Ozzy drummer Mike Bordin (Faith No More).

Ozzy Osbourne Under Cover Songs Under Cover Music Review Average Rating: (2.3 out of 5 stars)   Could be better
Agree only few of the covers are good. Thought Working class Hero was a improvement on Lennon. As a Ozzy fan I prefer hearing this covers done by him than worst versions by newer bands and wannabees. Can think of a second album with better selection to suit Ozzy.

 One Mans Trash
Is another mans treasure. I am a fan of both Ozzy and Lennon, and have enjoyed most of these tunes for years. This one is like making your jacked mp3's into a cd compilation, only with the ozman on vocals

Ozzy Owes Us A Refund
What a travesty of a record. Just two decent covers and 11 awful ones. Ozzy's version of Mountain's "Mississippi Queen" is entertaining. And somehow he adds a little Sabbathian quality to the Stones' "Sympathy For The Devil". But really...do we need to hear Oz versions of "Working Class Hero", "Woman" and "In My Life" because the Oz admires John Lennon? Please...donate money to the Yoko fund...leave John's music alone! Listening to this album is like listening to "William Shatner Sings!" You keep listening because you can't imagine how it can get worse. (It does.) I for one think Ozzy needs to write a check for $11.00 to everyone who plunked down $13 for this album. $6.50 a song is too much!

This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
As black metal's fully enthroned reigning kings, Emperor are truly an interesting, intriguing act, combining the soaring, operatic, orchestral sensibilities of classical music with the pomposity, technical skill, and brutality of various types of heavy metal. What emerges from that Norwegian cocoon is something entirely new, or if not entirely new, then a fully realized version of something that had been attempted by other acts. This live disc, which also ...
