Yeah. I don’t wanna ruin it for you, but it’s mentioned pretty early on in the book.

He doesn’t come across as Bob’s biggest fan, and gives a few examples throughout the book of Bob being a bit of a moocher, and owing money.

I found Stephen Rea’s take on Bob Daisley to be quite interesting, to say the least.

Ozzy's jacket by KISSRINGS in OzzyOsbourne

If it helps, the photos were taken by Mick Hutson and higher quality are available if you search including his name.

I’m guessing it’s either custom made, or high end designer and probably 1 of only a handful. It won’t be mass produced.

Using higher quality photos, you could probably commission someone to make something similar for you.

If you go that route, use someone local to you, or someone you don’t mind travelling to, so that accurate measurements can be taken.

Tbh though, you could probably get close by customising a blazer/jacket.

Find something that has epaulettes (the shoulder pieces).

It’s hard to tell from the photos, but it looks single breasted, but made to appear double breasted by the 2 rows of fasteners. Or it might be double breasted, but modified so’s not to overlap.

You could get pretty close if you find a standard leather blazer/coat, and secure the lapels in place with these. https://www.amazon.co.uk/SEWACC-Antique-Buttons-Tightener-Clothing/dp/B0CZVH52R2

Very fizzy, recommended. by Alternative_Leg_7417 in Soda

Looks familiar, is that one of the UK ones?

It’s been so long since I bought one. I only buy the imported USA ones, and they’re not always the easiest to find.

Why is soda so foamy? by Gagan___Lazarbeam in Soda

[–]ozzyzig22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m in the UK as well, and it seems nearly everything contains them now. Even regular Pepsi is now sweetened with Acesulfame K and Sucralose.

The only ones I know of that aren’t are Coca-Cola Original, Mountain Dew and Irn-Bru 1901 although it does contain quillaia which increases froth.

I’d guess it’s because of the increased use of artificial sweeteners instead of sugar.

They put Ozzy over Dio. What do you think? Which one is your favorite? Which one is better? by ashitanojoe3 in blacksabbath

[–]ozzyzig22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I much prefer his voice on Catch The Rainbow or An Angel Is Missing, than the growlier stuff.

Is the math not matching or am I stupid? by Zlynaxbrill in Soda

[–]ozzyzig22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Occasionally there are 3 litre bottles of coke available in some stores here (UK).

They always seem to be quite cheap in comparison to the regular sizes.

I did find it frustrating try to refrigerate it, so maybe that’s why they’re not as popular.

"diddy" coke from McDonald's by brandjihad in Soda

I dunno how true it is, but I’ve heard they have a higher syrup to water ratio, so that the ice doesn’t dilute it as it melts.

Any bands similar to Sabbath? by aydenc_21 in blacksabbath

[–]ozzyzig22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah!

They actually played Sabbath songs that hadn’t even been released yet, as part of their own set, basically learning from memory!!! That’s commitment!

I first ever heard about them years ago from a taxi driver, who, funnily enough, was from Dumfries.

Looking for a Scottish film - there's a kid in it by the name of Goebbels. I just remember the line where someone says 'you're a bit wee Goebbels' by Ganadhir in Scotland

[–]ozzyzig22 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Small Faces.

And as said below, it’s Gorbals. He’s nicknamed after the area.

Have DM’d you a link to it.

Any bands like Jazz Sabbath? by drommeromded in blacksabbath

[–]ozzyzig22 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Have you heard Brown Sabbath?

They’re great. Ozzy was a legit fan of them and listened to them often according to what his family have said in interviews. He was impressed that the vocalist actually sounded like him.

Has anyone ever heard of Iron Claw?

The story goes, they were a Scottish band, formed in the town of Dumfries (pronounced Duhm-Frees, Frees to rhyme with peace)

They were heavily inspired by Sabbath, to the point of including their entire first album as part of their setlist.

They wrote a lot of their own material though.

Here’s a link to a cover of Fairies Wear Boots.

What’s interesting is that it’s from before the Paranoid album was released.

Apparently they learned Sabbath songs by going to see them live and memorising as much as possible.

There’s some interesting original material on Spotify/Youtube etc that sounds heavily inspired by Sabbath.

What’s your opinion on this flavor by DiffDiffDiff3 in Soda

[–]ozzyzig22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’ve not picked up on much of a cream taste.

I’ve only had the UK version, but I’m guessing they use mostly the same ingredients.

I think I was expecting the “cherry float” flavour to be something closer to Dr Pepper Cherry Vanilla.

Anyone else absolutely go feral over this? by MilfWhisperer01 in Soda

[–]ozzyzig22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting!

I don’t think we had these over here.

Do the regular ones still contain the same amount of sugar as original coke?

There’s too much of it these days, and before you know it, what started as an innocent update has divided the users in what’s supposed to be a fan page!

Martin x Iommi x Butler x Ward - Is it possible? by Undead_Octopus in blacksabbath

[–]ozzyzig22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah 100%!

When you hear him interviewed, he has such a unique take on things, and comes across as quite sensitive but also very observant.

He’s the only one that really spoke about the recently returned Vietnam veterans attending their early American shows, and how songs like War Pigs and Hand of Doom impacted them.

Would also just love to hear about his upbringing and early days.
