Why Rob Zombie rocks and Ozzie....does not

I'll start with things Ozzie has in his favor. He has 10 platinum albums, between Black Sabbath and solo albums. That is indeed an amazing feat not to be taken lightly. Sabbath has also been a major influence on Rob Zombie. Then again, what metal band hasn't been influenced by them/him? The same could be said of Judas Priest as well though. 

Rob Zombie has had 8 albums both with White Zombie and solo albums (not including compilations, greatest hits, etc) and of those 8, 5 have gone platinum and 2 have gone gold, making him the artist with the most platinum/gold records on the Geffen record label (courtesy of geffen records website, i looked it up!)  

Ozzie has his lovely reality show- The Osbourne's.      .yay.

Rob Zombie has written, directed and produced 3 full length films (House of 1000 corpses, Devil's Rejects, and soon-to-be-released el Superbeasto...oh, did I mention he writes a comic book series too?) In addition, he also created a re-make of Halloween and an interlude in Tarantino's grindhouse films. 

Two words: The Zombettes

Rob Zombie got to 'take over' youtube for 4 hours on halloween this year. They called him a 'stint director.'

Like they'd let Ozzie be in charge of...well...anything?

And on something of a final note, Ozzie performed near me not long ago. Small venue, great (super expensive)seats, I was pumped. Don't get me wrong, I do like Ozzie; he just needs to retire. Yesterday. Anyways, he sang his first song and it was awesome. Except he forgot half the chorus. Second song, voice started getting very shaky and weak. Third song, he stopped singing about 2 minutes into it. Zakk Wylde took over the lyrics (he was on tour with him) Ok. Black Label Society is awesome. Love em. Wouldn't have paid $200 a seat to see them. The entire rest of the concert was performed with Zakk Wylde on lead vocals for Sabbath. No refunds available. You could say I'm slightly bitter, and you would be right. Except that Rob Zombie opened the stage for Ozzie, and I actually paid all that money to see him

For those interested, here's a link to Ozzie's official website and you can check out the few comments that reflect my sentiments as to Ozzie's poor performance.

Yes, he still puts on a killer show (thanks stage managers!) but a rock show isn't much without the rockstar. 

*now discuss* 

Ozzy totaly needs to retire and Zombie is 10x better end of story .

I've never even heard of Rob Zombie. I have heard of Ozzy though so he gets my vote lol

im not really a fan of either one of them. but there are songs that i like from both of the artists: i like a few of ozzies songs and a few from robzombie.

but if i had to pick..i would say..neither. just kidding.

they do have talent though.

Out of the two artist, i would have to go with rob zombie as my favorite.  I have all of ozzie and zombies stuff and i find myself listening to more of zombie.  I know a lot of people complain that zombies songs sound alike or have a lot of techno style to them.  I just think its a personal style choice myself, Songs like "Dragula" and "Living Dead Girl" to me are just awesome songs.  Interesting side note, on the album The Sinister Urge, Ozzy does guest vocals for the song "Iron Head"

I Never Liked Rob Zombie much. I have to pick Ozzie.

I think Rob Zombie was better with White Zombie than as a solo act. It seems to me he got a little lazy after a while, all the songs are too similar, and a lot of them are too "techno-ish". His first solo album was great. But it was kinda downhill from there. There wasn't a bad song in the 2 White Zombie albums. (I'm not counting the early limited-releases, like "Make Them Die Slowly") But I find myself only really liking half or so of the latest stuff. It's probably cause he's too busy making movies and writing comics. So there's no doubt he's got talent, and is spreading himself across the spectrum. Maybe he's just a little distracted...

Ozzy was the man, Black Sabbath is awesome only with Ozzy, but that was 30 years ago. He should stop embarrassing himself and go lie down for a nap or something. Solo Ozzy has some great songs, but even then, Black Sabbath was better. Kinda like Rob Zombie...
