This is a very good album. The songs are all very good musically and there are some amazing musicians on this album. All on one CD you've got guitarists like Slash, Mick Mars and Marty Friedman, you've got Ronnie James Dio and Bruce Dickinson on vocals and the list goes on.

Here's a more complete list of who is on the album and where they come from. All the songs are good versions and stick so close to Alices originals that uniformed listeners may ealily mistake them for Alice:
Joe Elliott - Def Leopard / Phil Collen - Def Leopard / Bob Kulick - Meat Loaf, Queen / Pat Torpey - David Lee Roth Band / Clarence Clemons - E Street Band
Dave Mustaine - Megadeth / Marty Friedman - Megadeth / Bob Daisley - Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Uriah Heep / Eric Singer - Kiss
Roger Daltrey - The Who / Slash - GnR / Mike Inez - Alice In Chains / Carmine Appice - Vanilla Fudge
Ronnie James Dio - Dio, Black Sabbath / Steve Lukather - Toto / Phil Soussan - Ozzy Osbourne, Vince Neil, Billy Idol / Randy Castillo - Ozzy Osbourne
Vince Neil - Motley Crue / Mick Mars - Motley Crue / Billy Sheehan - David Lee Roth Band / Simon Phillips - Toto, Mick Jagger
Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden / Adrian Smith - Iron Maiden / Tony Franklin - The Firm / Tommy Aldridge - Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake
Dee Snider - Twisted Sister / Zakk Wylde - Ozzy Osbourne / Rudy Sarzo - Quiet Riot / Frankie Banali - Quiet Riot

Glenn Hughs - Deep Purple / Don Dokken - Dokken / John Norum - Dokken / Tim Bogert - Vanilla Fudge, Beck
Steve Jones - Sex Pistols / Duff McKagen - GnR / Matt Sorum - GnR

A selection of popular Black Sabbath songs interpreted by longtime metallic favorites (Megadeth, Slayer), newer rock kids (Godsmack, Static-X) and a wild card (Busta Rhymes) makes for a fun, if surprisingly middle-of-the-road, listen. NIB 2 is the first release on Ozzy Osbourne's own record label, and one of the CD's dozen tunes features Oz doing the classic "N.I.B" with pranksters Primus; however, there's not enough of Les Claypool's bass peeking through on the otherwise stellar title.

Static-X's otherwise distinct techno take on "Behind the Wall of Sleep" loses the song's inherent groove. Megadeth's true-to-the original version of "Never Say Die" is rollicking. Pantera doing the dirge "Electric Funeral" is not as aggro as one might hope; on the other hand, Slayer turn in a raw and dynamic version of "Hand of Doom."

Truly unique renderings come from California band hed(p.e.), who do a trippy, hip-hop/funk version of "Sabbra Cadabra," and from Busta Rhymes, with his take on "Iron Man." Ultimately, though, NIB 2 proves that Sabbath did it first and best, and there's really no improving on the original.

Product Description
When metal masters Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Vinny Appice reunited for the first time in 15 years to record new bonus tracks for Rhino's 2007 compilation Black Sabbath:
The Dio Years, an otherworldly force reignited their musical connection. 'Everyone had so much fun playing together that we didn t want it to end,' the band recalls. It didn't- they reformed as Heaven & Hell- named for the classic 1980 LP that was the lineup's debut as Sabbath-and staged a triumphant, sold-out world tour throughout 2007-2008. Fueled by their chemistry on the road, the quartet returned to the studio in 2008 to record THE DEVIL YOU KNOW, their first new set of original material since 1992's Dehumanizer.

Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist Randy Rhoads was a technical genius on his instrument, but that's only half the story. Rhoads shaped the direction of Osbourne's first two post-Sabbath recordings, Diary of a Madman and Blizzard of Ozz, which still stand as his best solo studio albums. Rhoads also was capable of pulling the best out of Osbourne onstage, a notable accomplishment in itself.

This live set was released five years after Rhoads's death in a bizarre plane accident, and it's still a striking reminder of what was lost. Osbourne and company run through the Blizzard album in its entirety, adding a few tunes from Diary, and the Sabbath classics "Iron Man," "Children of the Grave," and "Paranoid." The highlights are Rhoads's guitar freakout on "Suicide Solution" and studio outtakes of his solo acoustic showcase, "Dee."

Here was a classically trained guitarist that was interested in incorporating brilliant and complex guitar arraingments with popular music. You know, a lot of players sound great in the studio, when they can triple track their recordings, but here, Rhoads shreds in fluid beauty, live and in person. Just incredible playing.

"Generals gathered in their masses, Just like witches at black masses, Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths construction, In the fields the bodies burning, As the war machine keeps turning, Death and hatred to mankind, Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah! Politicians hide themselves away, They only started the war, Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor, Time will tell on their power minds, Making war just for fun. Treating people just like pawns in chess, Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah! Now in darkness, world stops turning, As the war machine keeps burning, No more war pigs of the power, Hand of God has sturck the hour, Day of judgement, God is calling, On their knees, the war pigs crawling, Begging mercy for their sins, Satan laughing, spreads his wings."
All right now!...Come on! Yeaahh!!

Watch Ozzy when he was young, crazy and wild. Live, Paris, 1970

"Finished with my woman, 'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind, People think I'm insane, Because I am frowning all the time, All day long I think of things, But nothing seems to satisfy, Think I'll lose my mind, If I don't find something to pacify, Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah! I need someone to show me, The things in life that I can't find, I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind, Make a joke and I will sigh, And you will laugh and I will cry, Happiness I cannot feel, And love to me is so unreal, And so as you hear these words, Telling you now of my state. I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but it's too late "

Ozzmosis is an album by Ozzy Osbourne. It was originally released on October 23, 1995, through Epic Records.

After Osbourne's supposed retirement for four years, he regrouped with guitarist Zakk Wylde, bassist Mike Inez, drummer Randy Castillo, and producer Michael Wagener to record a comeback album. Epic Records told Wagener that they want "exactly the same record as No More Tears." After seven songs were recorded from start to finish, the record company executives, after listening to the tracks (which included future b-sides "Aimee," "Living With The Enemy," and the Prince of Darkness box set version of "See You On The Other Side"), said, "Now we want it to sound like Soundgarden." The project was then scrapped and later handed off to Soundgarden producer Michael Beinhorn to finish.

Sometime after the sessions with Wagener, Inez and Castillo were replaced with Geezer Butler (who had recently left Black Sabbath after a major falling out with Tony Iommi) and Deen Castronovo (currently with Journey).

One song from the album, "My Little Man," was co-written with guitarist STEVE VAI for a project Osbourne planned to do with Vai, Bob Daisley, and Castronovo titled "X-Ray." Another song from this collaboration, "Dyin' Day", can be found in instrumental form on Vai's 1996 album FIRE GARDEN.

The Essential Ozzy Osbourne is a compilation album by Ozzy Osbourne, released in 2003. It reached #81 on US charts and #21 in the UK. Tracks featured here from the first two albums are the re-recorded versions from recent reissues (see Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman) as well as the remixed Bark At The Moon tracks.

Iron Maiden are Steve Harris' brainchild, from 1976 and on they are the absolute heavy metal machine that destroys everything on its path.

They made heavy metal massive, and they are familiar even to those that don’t know their music.

With this record Iron Maide broke into the world receiving recognition and appreciation. They managed to attract huge crowds, with people flooding stadiums (the top of the iceberg was Monsters Of Rock in Donnington with over 100,000 people attendance in 1988), their record sales reached unbelievable numbers (they’ve sold more than 70 million records worldwide), big tours, great material and we haven’t talked about influence…let’s not. They have a distinguish position in our music’s pantheon.

“Number Of The Beast” overflows with power, passion, outstanding arrangements that feed the listener’s attention, galloping metallic riffs, and melodies that break to guitar parades.

The record arrived exactly when they needed it. After the two records with Paul Di’Anno and his punk pitch, Bruce Dickinson (ex-Samson) with his metalic voice, took over like a bull in a china shop. His majestic voice of great potential was what the band was in need of to rejuvenate and conquer the world.

Blue Murder was the brainchild of guitar virtuoso John Sykes. It was a melodic heavy metal band from England, founded by ex-Whitesnake guitarist Sykes. Upon Sykes' firing from the most successful version of Whitesnake, the former Tygers Of Pan Tang and Thin Lizzy axe-man set out to create a similar sounding bluesy hard rock band. They released two studio albums and one live album before breaking up in 1994.

The late Ray Gillen, most famous for singing for Black Sabbath and Badlands, sang for an early version of Blue Murder, and reportedly the band recorded demos with him, but no albums. Another interesting thing to note is that John Sykes was himself once in a different band also called Badlands.

Another masterpiece by Sykes. Listen to the awesome guitars, vocals, and songwriting of John Sykes. He is one of the greatest of all time. Lock yourself into the monster groove of "Cry for love"!! Listen to another huge Sykes signature riff on "I'm on fire"!! You will never stop listening to this stuff.

The second Blue Murder album is a bit of a catch-all in that it features tracks with the original trio, with the Marco Mendoza version of the group, and even one with (temporary) lead singer Kelly Keeling. For metal fans, there's a bunch of excellent material here, but I can't help but feel that it all suffers in comparison to the fantastic first album. The album is 1-2 songs too long, and it was released too late to catch any of the heat from the semi-success of the first CD. Nonetheless, the playing is great, and the 2nd version of the group is at least a good stand-in for the first, with Mendoza proving himself especially able. Sykes has some better lyrics on this album and shows himself maturing as a songwriter.

John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born December 3, 1948) is the lead vocalist of the pioneering English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, a multi-platinum, award-winning successful solo artist and the star of the reality show, The Osbournes. Considered by many to be the "Godfather of Heavy Metal, he has enjoyed a career that has now spanned four decades. He was born in Aston, Birmingham, England and spent most of his early life there. Osbourne reportedly suffered from learning difficulties (claiming to be dyslexic ), however he did like music and took part in school plays. He left school at 15 and was then employed as a construction site labourer, He also spent a few weeks in Winson Green Prison, when he was unable to pay a fine after being found guilty of Breaking and Entering a clothes shop.

Osbourne would later form a band with classmate Tony Iommi after he auditioned for a lead singer.To distinguish themselves from the norm, Iommi and his partners decided to play a heavy blues-inspired style of music laced with gloomy lyrics. One day during rehearsals, the band noticed people queuing up outside a cinema where a horror film was being shown, and bassist Geezer Butler observed how curious it is that people like to be frightened. The film these fellows were waiting to see was the Mario Bava-directed Black Sabbath. After reading an occult book that Osbourne had let Butler borrow, Butler had a dream of a dark figure at the end of his bed. Afterwards, Butler wrote the lyrics to "Black Sabbath", one of their first songs, in a darker vein. It was the prototype of the songs that became their main style later in their career

Pride and Glory was Zakk Wylde's first self-fronted album. It has more of a Southern rock sound than Zakk Wylde's other albums incorporating the likes of banjo, harmonica and mandolin.

Upon its release, their one and only album was seen as an almost complete departure from the music Zakk was known for with Ozzy, but the album's dominant Southern Rock sound proved to remain a prevailant influence on Zakk's own music up to and including the debut Black Label Society album Sonic Brew. Zakk's songwriting skills come to the forefront on the album; there is a great deal of variety and the songs themselves are very dynamic, with a very loose jam-band feel to a number them, namely "Shine On" and "Toe'n The Line."

The original album was released in 1994 and reissued in 1999 on Spitfire Records with a bonus songs of rare and unreleased material (tracks "The Wizard","Torn and Tattered" "In My Time of Dying","Found A Friend" ,"The Hammer and The Nail" ,"Come Together")

While the album title may be more than just a little ambitious, the content certainly packs a punch! If I was to assemble a group of songs for an album titled like this one, I would have most assuredly included some of the music you'll find here. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Montrose, Ted Nugent, all bring to the party the qualities any real fan of heavy metal lives for. From beginning to end, this collection will keep your walls shakin' and your neighbors quakin'!
