I've been struggling to come up with the right words, hoping to abstain from exploiting the situation. But it's because I have this cool hobby where I get to romanticize and exploit the legacies of icons, Ozzy Osbourne among the highest percentage of them. I've said it all. I say it in any video I make about him and will continue to do so, because it's a history that deserves to be carried forward.

In a countless number of ways, my life would be nothing like it is without Ozzy. It is undeniably heavy in the worst way, waking up in a world without him. I can only hope to do justice to his story going forward. All hail the Prince of Darkness

As the final chords of Paranoid rang out at Villa Park (excuse my accidental "the"), these icons would leave the stage as Black Sabbath for the final time. It was a day of heavy metal history, and easily the show of the decade. Let's talk about it.

I've been slaving away at the day job and my post back to the beginning video that will be out tomorrow. Because of that I haven't really posted much this week so to make up for it here's a video of Doc being upset that his brother chews on treats slower than he does and has decided he deserves Sarge's chewy.

Robb Flynn & THESE Guitars Have the BEST Bad Luck! (ft. Dimebag Darrell & James Hetfield)

Dimebag Darrell, James Hetfield, and some cosmic fortune give Machine Head's Robb Flynn some of my favorite guitar stories to tell. Here's the tale of the Dimebolt and how it made the unlikely journey home.

I've been working on longer form versions of my videos, that are essentially the same thing without the chains of a time limit. I guess it didn't occur to me that I could post them here for those of you that don't want to navigate off platform.

I saw Ozzy in 2007, and he seemed like this static figure. Just, always kind of what he was when I discovered him. Black hair, round glasses, and mumbling until he got to the stage, and suddenly, he was Ozzy Osbourne. Zakk and Blasko killed it, and I almost punched a kid who expressed confusion at the opening bars to Bark at the Moon for having the audacity to ask, "What song is this?". That kid was my ride to and from West Palm Beach, though, and I was grateful to be there

I was 15.
And then I was almost 35, realizing that all of these lyrics and riffs that defined my life were written by teenagers, be it Black Sabbath or Metallica. It all just kind of happens and flashes before you.

The last month has upended any stability I thought I had, but in moments like this none of it weighs on me.

A combination of adulting, content changes & worthless air conditioners has me sitting with nothing ready to release but cute videos of the dogs. At least for the next few days, posting might be light but after we stumble through it, I'm hoping to find a good balance.

I think the boys need a firmware update. They appear to be broken...

Here's a total throwback. Most, if not all, of you never got a chance to meet the dog who changed my soul and endowed me with a mission to provide the unending love and dedication I have to his little brothers.

This is Mac, the greatest gift the universe has ever given me

The universe has a really funny way of testing you. There never seems to be a break in the madness and I think it's decided that I haven't made enough life-altering decisions, dropping one right on my head this week. As capable as I am, and as confident as I might feel, as of this moment, I have no idea what my life will look like a month from now.

It's a good thing I have the boys, the music, and an awesome group of people to talk rock with in between the madness 🤘
