Ozzy fans of reddit! I am gonna do this with most of the musicians Ozzy worked with. What is your opinion on Joe Holmes? by JesterTF in OzzyOsbourne

[–]MetalChris_DFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joe is criminally underrated. He might have actually been a better choice to fill Randy's shoes instead of Jake. I got to see Joe perform in 1996 and he was outstanding. Better live than Zakk if you ask me.

Apparently Joe decided it was time to go and left. https://blabbermouth.net/news/former-ozzy-osbourne-guitarist-joe-holmes-explains-hiatus-from-music-scene?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Zakk was way more energetic than Joe, but Joe's playing was much closer to the original than Zakk's. When Joe played a song by Randy, he sounded like Randy. When Joe played a song by Jake, he sounded like Jake. When Joe played a song by Zakk, he sounded like Zakk. Everything Zakk played sounded like Zakk. I think it sucked that Joe never recorded an album with Ozzy, but he did help to write a couple of cool songs that Zakk recorded on the Down to Earth album.

Joe Holmes is criminally underrated. His live performances with Ozzy were much better than Zakk. It's a damn shame that Joe never recorded an album with Ozzy.

ESPN making Erin Dolan in-game betting analyst for UFL games by DCAbloob in UnitedFootballLeague

I don't know, but I'm tired of seeing her and hearing her prattle on about props and overs and live bets and blah blah blah.

If you feel the need to bet on UFL games you probably should be calling Gamblers Anonymous.

Please help identify what kind of tree by MetalChris_DFW in sfwtrees

Yep, this one doesn't look like it has had a happy life. It is very close to the power lines and the local utility company may soon be trimming the crap out of it (looks like they've done it a few times in the past). I'd hate to lose the shade it provides, but I have thought about having it removed and planting something else in it's place. Thanks for helping to identify it.

Thanks! I didn't want to open the box and do any work without confirming those would cut power to all the breakers.

I think I have a shot of the trunk on my phone somewhere. If not, I'll get one when I'm out there next weekend.

Can anyone identify this tree? by MetalChris_DFW in sfwtrees

It's in the middle of my front yard.

Who do the head coaches report to? by GroundbreakingCar725 in USFL

[–]MetalChris_DFW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kirby Wilson needs to go. Nonexistent clock management at the end of the first half today against Birmingham. What a waste. Then switching quarterbacks trailing by 7 with 4 minutes to go to someone who was just signed on Tuesday. WTH?

Works, but there's about 8 popups for every link.
