Tattooed Millionaire is the worst album from his catalog, but everything else is DAMN GOOD, if not GREAT. Even though Bruce probably didn't sell as many albums as Maiden did when he left, he certainly released quality material. I still listen to everything he's released and hope he makes time to create a few more albums outside of Maiden.
I fully endorse this endorsement of Bruce Dickinson's solo albums. They are all pretty great, and Accident Of Birth and The Chemical Wedding (both featuring Adrian Smith) are outstanding. Tyranny Of Souls is also fantastic. I'm with ya Dave! I hope he keeps up with the solo albums too! Totally worth checking out for anyone who hasn't already done so. -------------------- I am a robot... bleep blop bloop

Got this one as well. It's ok, but a bit tame. I much prefer 'The Formation Of Damnation'. Some new thingies: Ufomammut - Oro: Opus Primum (addicting!) OM - Advaitic Songs Grand Magus - The Hunt Deathspell Omega - Drought (sick!) and more... -------------------- "Appearing like Ra"

My Triumph collecting continuesTRIUMPH - Rock & Roll Machine TRIUMPH - Progressions of Power TRIUMPH - King Biscuit Flower Hour TRIUMPH - Surveillance OZZY OSBOURNE - God Bless Ozzy Osbourne (blu ray documentary) a friends of mine, who's not a metal head, saw this on tv last week and sent me an email telling me how good it was, so of course I bought it. It is damn good, especially the extras. But, like his autobiogrphy, I wish it was more complete and he discussed auditioning all the different players he's had come through the band and why he chose them. Of course maybe he just has no memory of it. There just seems to be a big chunk missing from this and his bio... but it was still damn good, and his son Jack was the one who made it. -------------------- yawn

I agree with you on both the documentary and the autobiography. But still Ozzy surprisingly seems to remember more stuff than Tony Iommi or at least he had the balls to dig a bit deeper. The Iommi biography is the epitome of superficial, at least when it comes to Sabbath. Personally, and I don't mean to be rude at all, I'm not that much interested in how many wives he had or how much time it took for him to be in good terms with his daughter. I know it is also part of his history, but I bought the book because I wanted to know more about the band, and all I learned that was not already discussed ad nauseam by the press was that the cough in the beginning of Sweet Leaf was his. Bah. -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

I own the DVD and found it very good as well. I liked the idea of "throwing stuff" at Ozzy and having him ponder and reminisce, like having all the photos laid out in from of him, the old albums, showing him videos etc. He truly abhors the whole Ultimate Sin era, which is a shame considering it was Randy Castillo's first album and Jake E. Lee's last. Ozzy never mentions Jake, I think it's some weird thing to do with Rhoads that only Ozzy will carry around with him.I would like to add I think his current band is crap, LOL, sorry, had to say it. The drummer is a showboating baffoon with all his high-sticking and whatnot (I guess to make up for his immense lack of musicianship), and he needs to get Zakk back. Knowing this fuckhead might be on the next Sabbath album has my blood boiling. PS: I like the last Ozzy album, go figure HAHA. --------------------
