The Classic Rock Addict
EP.116- Brief History of Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne
Classic rock talk by The Classic Rock Addict.
This episode was recorded on July 22, 2025- the day of Ozzy Osburne's death. I was preparing this podcast when I got the sad news. Black Sabbath with Ozzy was probably my #2 favorite band behind Led Zeppelin, so the news hit me pretty hard. I recorded the podcast with a heavy heart as, like Ozzy, I felt like the show must go on.
This is just a brief history of the band- many books will be written. All the Black Sabbath music on this podcast was recorded from my vinyl collection. Enjoy!
