It\u2019s virtually impossible to divorce Ozzy Osbourne<\/a> from his signature dark persona.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sure, he might have been known to a completely different generation of kids as the bumbling kid in The Osbournes, but whenever he got onstage, there was no doubt that he was one of the almighty masters of heavy metal whenever he played tunes like \u2018Mr Crowley\u2019 and \u2018Crazy Train\u2019. But even though he had a wealth of material to draw from, \u2018The Prince of Darkness\u2019 could get pigeonholed every now and again.<\/p>\n Then again, was there ever a time when Osbourne was ever afraid of doing something outlandish? This is the same guy who took a piss on the Alamo, fell asleep in the middle of a highway intersection, and managed to bite the head off a bat in the middle of a concert. It\u2019s not like someone like that gets uncomfortable with much, but when people started to see him in a different light, there were bound to be consequences.<\/p>\n Even as far back as his days in Black Sabbath, Osbourne was already getting accusations of being a Satanist, despite capping off every one of his performances with the phrase \u2018God bless you all.\u2019 It didn\u2019t make any logical sense, but the shoe fit for most of the Christian fanatics of the world that took one look at the cover of Sabbath Bloody Sabbath and drew their own conclusions. <\/p>\n So when Osbourne saw his worst fears come true when one of his fans ended their life while listening to \u2018Suicide Solution\u2019<\/a>. Even if the song wasn\u2019t about that kind of suicide, no musician ever wants that kind of situation on their conscience, so when Osbourne finally did manage to come back into the fold, he remembered being extremely careful about what to say and what not to say.<\/p>\n But the pop charts did like to play a bit fast and loose with the rules when it came to what could be said. There were already more suggestive material going on in major videos making the rounds on MTV at the time, and while Osbourne might have been more recognised as a villainous figure in the eyes of most mainstream listeners, he felt that he would have been a dead man walking if he had tried to get away with what Pet Shop Boys did on \u2018West End Girls\u2019.<\/p>\n
