Ozzy Osbourne Playing the PlayStation VR2 is Happiness Goals
Ozzy Osbourne is many things: Rock icon, doting grandfather and…avid gamer? That certainly seems to be the case in the latest ad for Horizon Call of the Mountain for the PlayStation…
Ozzy Osbourne is many things: Rock icon, doting grandfather and...avid gamer? That certainly seems to be the case in the latest ad for Horizon Call of the Mountain for the PlayStation VR2.
The 60-second spot opens with Osbourne unboxing the gaming system. Wife/manager Sharon Osbourne enters and says, "Ozzy, are you going to help me pack these boxes or what? We've got a flight to England!" Ozzy responds, "Hang on, Sharon! I wanna play with my PlayStation VR2. I'm very technical these days."
The ad then cuts to gameplay play and shows The Prince of Darkness wearing the VR headset and holding the controls. He's thoroughly enjoying the game and the system and screams many expletives, as one would expect.
Ozzy then yells for Sharon who re-enters the room clearly annoyed.
"Ozzy, what's wrong?!" yells Sharon.
"I think that Stormbird was trying to bite my head off," says Ozzy.
"That f-cking Stormbird needs to get at the back of the line!" replies Sharon.
Anyway, I long to one day be as happy as Ozzy while he was playing with the PlayStation VR2. Then again, the check he likely received to appear in the ad would probably make any of us pretty damn happy.
After you get thrown out of one of the most influential bands of all time, what do you do for an encore? Ozzy Osbourne was a misfit, an unusual vocalist, he didn’t play instruments or write songs in the conventional sense… so his former Black Sabbath bandmates probably didn’t see him as someone who would rival them for popularity. Surprise, surprise: Ozzy Osbourne’s long second act has been one of the most surprising and tumultuous in the history of rock and roll.
Sure, the bottom-feeding celebrity news machine loves him as a headline-generating lunatic, but the reason why we still care after all these years is the amazing discography Ozzy has amassed over the decades. Here are our 40 favorite Ozzy jams from 1980 on. As Ozzy prepares to wrap up an incredible career, we listened to everything, from the classic ‘Blizzard Of Ozz’ (every song made the list, except for Randy Rhoads’ solo guitar piece “Dee”) to the advance tracks released from ‘Ordinary Man.’
