A tribute to Ozzy without Bark At The Moon!!! Imagine an AC/DC tribute without Hells Bells, a Kiss tribute without Detroit Rock City or an Iron Maiden one without The Trooper. Anyway...

Of course songs like Paranoid, Hellraiser or Over The Mountain are present and the choice of the songs is overall not so bad. It could have been a better choice, but that's ok.

As for the musicians, lots of friends here : Tim "Ripper" Owens on Mr. Crowley and Mr. Guitar (Y. Malmsteen) together on a same track : whaatttt a start! On second track here comes Mark Slaughter with Eric Singer on the drum (Over The Mountain). Forth track, Crazy Train, sees Dee Snider singing as usual (by the way I have heard that Twisted Sister is about to come bbbaaaacccckkk, god please make that happen). Lots of other good singers, like Joe Lynn Turner, Jeff Scott Soto, Vince Neil and ... and ... and Lemmy Kilmister. And also lots of good musicians with guys like Bruce Kullick, George Lynch, Tommy Aldridge or Paul Gilbert to name just a few of them.

Songs are : Mr. Crowley, Over The Mountain, Desire, Crazy Train, Goodbye To Romance, Hellraiser, Shot In The Dark, Children Of The Grave, Paranoid, Suicide Solution, I Don't Know.

Overall a very good tribute, even though you should not forget to pick up the original one ... as Ozzy is Ozzy.

Killing Songs :
Crazy Train (Dee Snider), Desire (Lemmy), Shot In The Dark (Soto)
