I saw Sabbath back in '72 or '73 in Newcastle City Hall. Even in those early days Ozzie seemed hell bent on frying his brain with any substance going. It was loud! I'm astonished he lasted so long. He was in fact only 7 years older than I am now, RIP Ozzie!

The Cardigans also did a cover of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" on their first album from '94. My college roommate loved that band and had all of their albums (which was ~3 at that point.)

and.. Scream by Ozzy Osbourne (2021) https://album.link/b02swtdbpb428 Example: Not a fav album, but some gems in there. And the sad...

The Cardigans did a version of Iron Man...

^ yup .. and Down To Earth by Ozzy Osbourne (2001) https://album.link/zbtz4hjjh3tvv catching up, in memoriam, on a few albums that I didn't know that well. I have been very rewarded.

Probably, never tried it and it always a question how long the coating would last but well worth a try.

But did you know there was a Jack Black / Dweezil Zappa version?

Reasons... Blizzard Of Ozz by Ozzy Osbourne (1981) https://album.link/mbcqtdrxwpk6f Example: Yes I know Crazy Train Exists. But I just like the Album opener so much. RIP 🤘

So long Ozzy. Rock In Peace. We sometimes don't realize how lucky we were to be in the right place at the right time, when it was just a local hometown gig. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard_of_Ozz_Tour Ozzy Osbourne Concert Setlist at Odeon Chelmsford, Chelmsford on October 22, 1980 https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/ozzy-osbourne/1980/odeon-chelmsford-chelmsford-england-73d652c9.html

Hey Spritzer, would static- guard anti static spray work?

Rock on with Randy forever ... RIP Ozzy 🤘

🤘 May he entertain the dark lord as much as he has entertained us. Time to dust off the old Sabbath albums for a listen. To @robm321‘s point that intro to the song Diary of a Madman is among my favorites in all of rock.

\m/ legend. will be missed.

This one is huge although not unexpected. What a monumental figure. I'm a fan of everything he's done, but his two albums with Rand Rhoads are my favorite. RIP Ozzy (Prince of Darkness)

Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne dies aged 76, his family announces. Fuckin' hell, mate.

I am listening to the new Gaupa EP, Fyr ... again. Really great. Two singles in the middle, bookended by two other songs, this being the epic opener:

That's easily my favourite song off that album. It is epic.

you asked how I check transistors. I showed a photo of the measurement 06. I have no complaints about the 2240, with the datasheet declaring hFE 200, the ones I have show hFE 217 and showed what I see when I measure 3675, which you also have. I am sure the difference measuring the of the 3675 transistor, hFE for you and me will not be big.

Actually it ought to be garbage. Shakespeare used the word in Hamlet. The ghost's speech: "Will sate itself in a celestial bed and prey on garbage"

That is about right for a C3675. You seem to be jumping around with what you measure. MPSA06, C2240, C3675. I've lost track of what points you are making.

Beautiful

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music (1973) https://album.link/q4k7kdbzzrrhh Example: More of an Early Genesis prog sound than I was expecting. Much enjoyed {most of it}

I can't imagine them being anything but impressed.
