God damn! Now I know why =VH= was kicking sabbath's ass during the 1978 tour.

I've been studying the first two Ozzy albums for nearly thirty years...

good that you stopped the booze...

btw...there already were studio tricks back in these days...for example the "back up" singer...you add another voice to the lead vocals and mix it in a frequenzy range that you can''t acutally "hear" but it's there, so the vocals sound more powerful. they still do this, if a singer has an extreme thin voice.

pitching was there, too...but of course there were no digital tricks...

Delays, compressors, chourus, flangers, phasers, harmonizers octave dividers and delays are normal, everyday effects used on any instrument...hardly "studio wizardry."

Everything you hear on Blizzard and Diary vocal wise, is Ozzy singing. In fact, Max Norman has commented many times that most of the studio time was spent "trying to pull vocals out of Ozzy."

I don't say that they did it on Blizzard or Diary, I just said that there was already some "studio wizardry" back then...limited...but you could "do" some things...

Bullshit. You are a fucking idiot if you think they didn't use any of those effects on Ozzy's voice.

That's what "studio wizardry" is, dope. What? You think I was suggesting that Ozzy was doing a Milli Vanilli???? Just drop it. We're past it.

You're an idiot...

Whatever you say....

Hey- did you know that Peter Frampton at the beginning of Do you Feel Like We Do?...his REAL VOICE. No effect. True story.

Fucking dope.

[ELVIS]

It's a talk box, idiot...

None of the effects listed above were capable of making Ozzy sound better than he was capable of singing...

The only thing that give's Ozzy's voice the distinctive sound heard on the first two albums are the doubling of the vocals, and each doubled track is clearly Ozzy singing along with himself, no tricks...

Elvis thinks this is Eddie.

A voice box? No shit, Sherlock.

You're being naive and a dumb douche. It's Ozzy's voice. NO ONE EVER SAID IT WASN'T!!!!! The point the whole time has been that there are effects on his voice, whether it be echo, multi-tracking, harmonizers, etc....

Have you heard DLR's vocal tracks from the debut album? Without the music? He sounds good, but it's not AS GOOD as the actual album, once it was cleaned up. THAT'S been the point all along, but for some reason you have a hardon about people suggesting Ozzy had any enhancement in the studio. Get over it. They're still great albums and performances.

Stop arguing that your boyfriend Ozzy's voice was untouched on those early albums.

Next Elvis is going to tell us that Ozzy has no effects on his voice at the beginning of Crazy Train. Aye Aye Ayyyyyye.......

[ELVIS]

"Effects" are not the same thing as the "studio wizardry" you're dreaming up in your weak little mind...
