But goes to show what a great person he is. He understands that music is just music, and that he shouldn't let it affect his beliefs, (his words), unlike other religious people.

[–]RochelleH 1 point2 points ago

I read "very alcoholic". The human mind makes some pretty quick judgements...

[–]psychjoe 19 points20 points ago

Is this true? Blew my mind.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points ago

I thought he slowed it down or gave up his beliefs because of his alcoholism and such, but I read recently that he still goes to church every Sunday

Ok, so you don't like Alice Cooper.

[–]Nothingtotalkabout 3 points4 points ago

It's all in the image, he's basically a one man version of KISS who are equally shitty. I saw him in concert once, I can honestly say that it was the worst I've ever seen.

[–]EyeOfAugra[S] 6 points7 points ago

Point taken.

[–]eggsssssssss 16 points17 points ago

Oh yeah... take that point...

[–]El_Nopal 10 points11 points ago

Actually it would have been about "Speak Of The Devil" to "Bark At The Moon" time frame, because that's around the time that Ozzy shaved his head and this would have been after it grew back for a while. I saw him on "Diary of A Madman", and he did not look like that, he still had long hair.

[–]Pol_troop 4 points5 points ago

Gey! Get your dichotomy!

[–]TheAmbiguityBuster 1 point2 points ago

I think this is also right after he married/met Sharon, which was a time of major rehabilitation for him, hence the haircut and the extra weight. He has stated without any hint of hyperbole that Sharon saved his life, that he would certainly be dead from drug abuse if he hadn't met her.

[–]conspiracy_thug 77 points78 points ago

we need a subreddit like /r/normalmetal full of pictures of metal band members looking normal.

[–]Khiva 16 points17 points ago

Looks like they're out shopping with their wives.

Come on, if you were a millionaire, would you tell your wife she had to shop at thrift stores just so the internet wouldn't make fun of you?

[–]ImAWhaleBiologist 3 points4 points ago

He doesn't look too excited to be there either.

[–]ZeekySantos 1 point2 points ago

All of a sudden buying expensive stuff with your piles of money is evil. Huh.

[–]straighttothemoon 12 points13 points ago

There was a bag of coke holding it up, previously.

[–]RochelleH 5 points6 points ago

Upvoted for using the word "settee"... made me miss my Nanna; the only person I've ever met that uses this word.

[–]TheReverendBill 22 points23 points ago

Sharon is kind of a big girl in this pic...

[–]AlannaRenae 31 points32 points ago

Sharon was a large woman. She's since had gastric bypass surgery.

Edit: along with tonnes of other plastic surgeries and shiit.

[–]Junkstar 10 points11 points ago

Watched the Ozzy documentary on Showtime tonight and this photo is from around the time that he was all torn up about leaving his first family and realizing he was not fit to have kids. Two minutes later in the film, Sharon is talking about how she and Ozzy couldn't wait to start a family when they hooked up. Either this was bad editing or the filmmaker wanted me to see her as an opportunist.

[–]penteyrn 3 points4 points ago

I've never seen that word before. Easy enough to look up, but out of curiosity where do you live?

[–]yasisterstwat 29 points30 points ago

Hah, a completely normal pic in r/wtf

[–]KVKT 12 points13 points ago

Yet it's the first in a long time to actually shock me

He looks like a in-patient and she looks like his nurse. That probably accurately describes their IRL relationship.

What the fuck did I just see? They looked like something from Full House.

[–]Aaronmcom 4 points5 points ago

This is what happend when Ozzy transferred the band to Dio. Like highlander, his metal energy left him weak and lame... but made Dio a metal god!

[–]causeiwanna 8 points9 points ago

Sharon looks younger and healthier now, 20 (or more) years later..!

[–]rock-paper-scissors 8 points9 points ago

50 shades of denim.

[–]Moppy6686 5 points6 points ago

Honestly, he's a pretty normal guy as alcoholic rock stars go. Sharon was really the one kept their shit together though and she was bulimic the entire time! My dad was a drinking buddy of his in the 1980s London.

[–]fauxnom 2 points3 points ago

Proof.

[–]Moppy6686 1 point2 points ago

No way to prove it. My dad is dead and I've never met Ozzy

[–]sidmaster 4 points5 points ago

Here's a good one. Black Sabbath live in concert in Paris during the 1970s. Ozzy looks pretty normal (and young) there.

[–]mttwldngr 4 points5 points ago

[–]icypops 7 points8 points ago

That's so weird, they look like really fat versions of my mum and dad.

[–]I_pollute 12 points13 points ago

A couple days ago in the same picture in r/wtf!

[–]SpiderDan35 4 points5 points ago

He looks like a mental patient.

[–]jesseatshit 2 points3 points ago

Probably taken after he shaved his head to get out of doing a gig. Just finished reading I Am Ozzy. Best. Book. Ever.

[–]AcousticWalrus 2 points3 points ago

Apparently when he and his wife were fat as shit.

[–]shortcord 2 points3 points ago

Samwise?

[–]whosnext1972 2 points3 points ago

Actual Reason: During a particularly fucked up time in Ozzy's life (briefly after he married Sharon), he actually shaved his head in order to get out of going on stage during one of his shows. Sharon (his manager) gave him a wig, threw a mic at him, and pushed him out on stage anyway. I'm guessing this was taken a few months after that.

[–]Tetezu 1 point2 points ago

he shaved his head in new Orleans.

[–]kaewstihs 6 points7 points ago

kinda looks like sean austin...

[–]smileymalaise 1 point2 points ago

Normal? God I hope not.

[–]Whybanme 1 point2 points ago

I don't like this at all.

[–]brimley 1 point2 points ago

what are you talking about? he looks like he is a patient in a mental hospital.

[–]jambispot 1 point2 points ago

[–]secretchimp 1 point2 points ago

Ozzy has such tiny little feet

[–]kpatrickp21 1 point2 points ago

Was all furniture that small in the 80's?

[–]railmaniac 1 point2 points ago

Sam, no! You have to help Frodo!

[–]S2Hedgehog 1 point2 points ago

I find it ironic that the wtf part about this image is how not wtf it is.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Looks more like Adele and Simon Cowell to me.

[–]BloodyNobody 1 point2 points ago

Is it possible that his post-Black Sabbath persona is all an act?

[–]ejweller 1 point2 points ago

To that I say "duh". All performers have a public and private persona. Do you really think he spends his entire life swigging a bottle of Jack and biting the heads off bats! You have to show up at parent-teacher conferences once in a while.

[–]JammaLammy 1 point2 points ago

By far the most disturbing thing I've ever seen on r/WTF

[–]nikkomorocco 1 point2 points ago

Look at those fucking shoes.

[–]BakulaSelleck92 1 point2 points ago

Why is everyone ignoring the fact that Sharon looks way older? Maybe it's just the hair...

[–]Escobar9300 1 point2 points ago

Wtf when did Ozzy look like Uncle Joey from Full House

[–]scagman 1 point2 points ago

Welcome to show biz OP. Just because someone portrays a persona on stage to sell tickets doesn't means they carry it home with them.

[–]zerothepants 1 point2 points ago

He was on drugs, shaved his head to try to get out of playing a show. Didn't work, Sharon still made him play. Had normal hair for awhile.

I love Ozzy.

probably when sharon made him take a fucking shower and take a nice picture for her family.

[–]sdavid1726 1 point2 points ago

How about this one?

[–]Ontopourmama 3 points4 points ago

In the 80's. This was after he had shaved his head and was letting it grow back (obviously).

Must of been Halloween.

he was so baked on pills and booze all the time. even in this picture.

Around the same time he fell for that magnetic health bracelet gimmick.
