By Brad Lee /

1. Ozzy Osbourne - Stayin Alive

Original Artist - The Bee Gees (1977)Released - 2005 (Prince of Darkness 4CD Boxset) Now when a majority of people think of Disco, the last thing that would pop into their head would be the Godfather of Heavy Metal and the self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne. In fact, at one time if someone first mentioned to you that he did a cover of this iconic 70's disco track made famous by The Bee Gees, you'd think them a tad insane and may call the men in the white coats as you€™d be convinced whoever passed on this information was indeed, riding the crazy train. But yet, here it is. Along with musical cohort Dweezil Zappa, Ozzy released this tune back in 2005 on the Prince of Darkness four CD compilation box set and it quickly became an underground favourite amongst his loyal fans. Showcasing not only his diversity as a musician but his sense of humour as well that resonates with even his most ardent critics; Ozzy proclaims his love for this Bee Gee€™s classic with this true homage to this 70's disco classic. There is only so much room to mention the accolades of one John Michael Osbourne, and unfortunately there is not enough space to even contemplate listing them all. But suffice to say, he is the face and father of all genres of heavy metal and has influenced not only generations of musicians but music as a whole forever. ALL ABOARD THE DISCO TRAIN, HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
