Eh bleh duh wha ... Ozzy is June's Artist of Month

Self proclaimed "Prince of Darkness" Ozzy Osbourne is June's Xbox 360 Artist of the Month. His new album BLACK RAIN has been a long time coming, but has finally hit retailers with a helpless scream. And as with any Artist of the Month you can download the "I Don't Wanna Stop" music video for free off the Marketplace. It's also entirely possible that you can't understand a word that Ozzy sings, so you may have to take in the video's visuals more than the actual singing. Never less, Ozzy is this month's featured artist, so try your darnedest and give him a listen.

1. Actually, Ozzy actually speaks better English when he sings, than when he tries to speak...

Perhaps you should check it out first before commenting on it.

3. He scares me

4. Ozzy Ftw =)

5. The only thing that matters, Zakk Wylde is in this one...

6. Maybe you guys could lighten up and understand the joke behind it. That he can't speak normally. Its a joke.

Stop taking it seriously.

7. When in the fuck are they gonna have some hip-hop (not rap) instead of this emo shit (Ozzy not included he is awesome) and corny rock? Seriously MS wtf?? Give me some Roots, Talib Kweli, Mos Def or MF DOOM...something other then this mainstream rock garbage, just don't make it mainstream rap garbage.

8. Quick factoid: Ozzy sings better than you write, Burg.

Ozzy was the first concert I ever went to back in 1984. The marketplace could use a dose of more Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Slayer and some Anthrax.

9. I've always felt that Ozzy was only as good as the guitarist backing him up...

10. Wow, let's get Metal and Hip Hop there? How about you just let Microsoft decide who's there. Microsoft probably suits the vast majority of their players with their musical choices. I personally forgot there was an Artist of the Month anyway.

11. Spitkicker, they aren't mainstream enough. Sadly, if we ever do see hip-hop or rap it'll probably be shit like 50 Cent or MIMS. No Lupe Fiasco. :(

Posted at 9:45PM on Jun 3rd 2007 by YoRone22

12. Kwali and Fiasco are underrated, especially moreso the latter.

Posted at 9:51PM on Jun 3rd 2007 by Justin U

13. Normally I agree with you guys, but get your facts stright. You can understand him really good. And the album, and the single is really great. so as someone else said, do some research first.

Posted at 10:56PM on Jun 3rd 2007 by Matthew

14. DIO FTW!!!

Posted at 9:02AM on Jun 4th 2007 by nerrrrd

15. The new song is pretty decent, but that video sucks hard. And where's the HD?

Posted at 10:14AM on Jun 4th 2007 by Mordeux

16. Yeah lupe is nice too. I know you're right Yorone, mainstream is horrible.
@ Zac - I have been a loyal 360 owner since day one amd now I own an elite as well, so don't give me that crap comment. If anybody has the right to request and complain about the content it would be people such as myself who regularly spend $100 or more a month on the marketplace not to mention games and other accessories. So as consumers microsoft should listen to us, not record labels. Thank you very much.

17.
Ozzy rocks and Burg you are a Jerk
About time we had some decent rock on marketplace

Posted at 1:22PM on Jun 4th 2007 by IanB

18. Quick factoid: Ozzy sucks balls, especially nowadays.

Posted at 11:58PM on Jun 4th 2007 by Roy Warner

19. nerrrrd, I would totally be up for some Dio! Ozzy's new song sucks pretty bad; there's more vocal synth than a Cher song. The beginning is pretty rocking with Zakk Wylde though.

Posted at 11:59PM on Jun 4th 2007 by Pink Chiefette

20. Roy, you suck nowadays. Ozzy is one of the masterminds behind metal/hard rock. Without Ozzy, you would not be able to listen to your Yellowcard or My Chemical Romance.

This is probably the best month they have had for "Artist Of The Month." Other times, it is bland emo/pop/rock. They should definitely bring in more metal like Dio, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, etc. They never will though as metal is not mainstream enough. I guess Microsoft is trying to fill everyone's music tastes. That is sad though as the modern day music trend is filled with emo, crap rock, hip-hop, and sprinkled with some pop.
