Ciao a tutti i DeBaseriani! Questa è la mia prima recensione e come non posso partire con il madman e mio cantante preferito Ozzy Osbourne? Ascolto praticamente solo Ozzy perchè secondo me la sua è vera musica, orecchiabile e allo stesso tempo dura e romantica. Ma passiamo all'album. . . Live At Budokan è l'ultimo live pubblicato da Ozzy ed è sicuramente uno dei migliori della sua carriera (e anche di quella di Zakk).
Ozzy dopo un suo classico "Let's Go Fucking Crazy" parte con la tipica I Don't Know in cui Zakk fa capire subito di che pasta è fatto e ci fa dimenticare, anche se per poco), la nostalgia di Randy Rhoads. Seguono canzoni come la nuova di Down To Earth That I Never Had (secondo me la migliore di Down To Earth), la datata Diary of a Madman Believer e Junkey. Dopo quattro ottime canzoni di assaggio si arriva alla splendida Mr. Crowley in cui l'inizio di tastiera di John Sinclair viene seguito da una pausa prima del fatidico "Mister Crowley" in cui Ozzy concede al pubblico una serie di cori davvero molto emozionanti. Dopo il capolavoro segue la "novellina" Gets Me Through e No More Tears, che però secondo me rende un po' meno live ma è sempre una delle migliori canzoni di Ozzy. Poi troviamo I Don't Want To Change The World, forse la canzoni riuscita meno in questo live perchè non è la stessa cosa della versione studio in No More Tears. Andando avanti l'emozione dell'ascoltatore sale sempre di più con le due ballads, stupende, Road To Nowhere e Mama, I'm Coming Home, davvero toccanti e profonde.
Tra le due "soft" però non tralasciamo Crazy Train degli assoli di Zakk Wylde alla Randy Rhoads e forse anche meglio che ci fanno tornare in mente il capolavoro Tribute. Chiudono infine lo spettacolo Bark At The Moon e la classica Paranoid. Posso concludere sottolineando la buona prestazione di Ozzy, considerando la sua età, ma soprattutto dicendo che Zakk Wylde ha tirato fuori proprio tutto il suo grande talento, riuscendo in alcuni passi a suonar meglio di Rhoads. Bravi anche il bassista, ora Metallica, Robert Trujillo e il batterista Mike Bordin. Live At Budokan risale al 2002 ed è sicuramente un ottimo live ed è il mio preferito soprattutto per la prestazione di Wylde.
Spero che la mia recensione vi sia piaciuta ma se non vi è piaciuta perdonatemi perchè è la prima. . . Un saluto a tutti i fans di Ozzy e dei Black Sabbath!!
Elenco tracce e testi
01 I Don't Know (05:51)
People look to me and say
Is the end near, when is the final day
What's the future of mankind
How do I know, I got left behind
Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look at me for answers
Don't ask me---I don't know
How am I supposed to know
Hidden meanings that will never show
Fools and prophets from the past
Life's a stage and we're all in the cast
Ya gotta believe in someone asking me who is right
Asking me who to follow, don't ask me, I don't know
I don't know---I don't know---I don't know
Nobody ever told me I found out for myself
Ya gotta believe in foolish miracles
It's not how you play the game
It's if you win or lose you can choose
Don't confuse, win or lose, it's up to you
It's up to you---It's up to you---It's up to you
SOLO
Repeat
03 Believer (04:56)
Watching time go and feeling belief grow
Rise above the obstacles
People beseech me
But they will never teach me
Things that I already know
I know
Dreams that I have shattered
May not have mattered
Take another point of view
Doubts will arise though
Like chasing a rainbow
I can tell a thing or two
That's true
You've got to believe in yourself
Or no one will believe in you
Imagination like a bird on the wing
Flying, free for you to use
OK baby
I can't believe they stop and stare
And point their fingers doubting me
Their disbelief suppresses them
But they're not blind
It's just that they won't see
I'm a believer, I ain't no deceiver
Mountains move before my eyes
Destiny planned out I don't need no handout
Speculation of the wise
04 Junkie (04:16)
You're coming down badly
You're crippled inside
A rat in your sewer
You've no place to hide
A gut wrenching fever
Addicted to death
You don't give a fuck
If it meaans your last breath
You try so hard to quit
But you'll never admit
You're the junkie
There's no reasoning why
Cause the mirror don't lie
Your the junkie
You crave for the needle to stick in your vein
Can't wait for the poison to kill all the pain
You buy your cheap ticket to take a short ride
That beautiful flower is eating your mind
You try so hard to quit
But you'll never admit
You're the junkie
There's no reasoning why
Cause the mirror don't lie
Your the junkie
Your name means nothing
You don't know the score
Body is aching you still crave for more
Sometimes you wish that you'd never been born
Tormenting came with a crown full of thorns
You're chasing the dragon
You're chasing the high
A bird with one wing
Who's still trying to fly
You're all out of spirit
A dead man alive
A born again junkie
You'll never survive
You try so hard to quit
But you'll never admit
You're the junkie
There's no reasoning why
Cause the mirror don't lie
Your the junkie
Junkie
Junkie
Junkie
Junkie
05 Mr. Crowley (06:44)
Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Ohhhh...Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
Yeah you waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear that maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
l wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant
yeahhhh....
06 Gets Me Through (04:15)
I`m not the kind of person
You think I am
I'm not the antichrist or
The iron man
I have a vision that I
Just can't control
I feel I've lost my spirit
And sold my soul
Got no control
I try to entertain you
The best I can
I wished I started walking
Before I ran
But I still love the feeling
I get from you
I hope you'll never stop cause
It gets me through yeah (2x)
The feelings that I hide behind
Sometime reality's unkind
The nightmares start for me at night
I dread the long and lonely nights
I'm not the kind of person
You think I am
I'm not the antichrist or
The iron man
But I still love the feeling
I get from you
I hope you'll never stop cause
It gets me through yeah
I'm just trying to live yeah
I'm just trying to live yeah
I'm just trying to live yeah
07 No More Tears (07:13)
The light in the window is a crack in the sky
A stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye
A levee of tears to learn she'll never be coming back
The man in the dark will bring another attack
Your momma told you that you're not supposed to talk to strangers
Look in the mirror and tell me do you think your life's in danger yeah
CHORUS
No more tears (echo) (x4)
Another day passes as the night closes in
The red light goes on to say it's time to begin
I see the man around the corner waiting, can he see me?
I close my eyes and wait to hear the sound of someone screaming here
CHORUS
It's just a sign of the times
Going forward in reverse
Still
He who laughs last
Is just a hand in the bush
So now that it's over can we just say goodbye?
(I'd like)
(I'd like)
I'd like to move on and make the most of the night
Maybe a kiss before I leave you this way
Your lips are so cold I don't know what else to say
I never wanted it to end this way my love my darling
Believe me when I say to you in love I think I'm falling here
CHORUS
Is just a hand in the bush (echo w/ fadeout)
08 I Don't Want to Change the World (04:14)
Standing at the crossroads,
World spinning round and round
Know which way I'm going,
You can't bring me down
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want to world to change me
Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
For telling all the people the original sin
He says he knows you better than you'll ever know him
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want to world to change me
You know it ain't easy
You know it ain't fair
So don't try and please me
Because I really don't care
Don't tell me stories
'Cause yesterday's glories
Have gone away, so far away
I've heard it said there's light up ahead
Lord I hope and pray
I'm here to stay
Tell me I'm a sinner I got news for you
I spoke to God this morning and he don't like you
Don't you try and teach me no original sin
I don't need your pity for the shape I'm in
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want to world to change me
I don't wanna change the world
I don't want the world to change me
I don't want to change the world
I don't want to world to change me
09 Road to Nowhere (05:51)
I was looking back on my life
And all the things I've done to me
I'm still looking for the answers
I'm still searching for the key
The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me
Through all the happiness and sorrow
I guess I'd do it all again
Live for today and not tomorrow
It's still the road that never ends
The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me
Ah, ah
The road to nowhere's gonna pass me by
Ah, ah
I hope we never have to say goodbye
I never want to live without you
The wreckage of my past keeps haunting me
It just won't leave me alone
I still find it all a mystery
Could it be a dream?
The road to nowhere leads to me
Repeat x6
10 Crazy Train (06:00)
All aboard, hah hah
Aye, aye, aye
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love and forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I've listened to preachers, I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah
Heirs of a cold war, that's what we've become
Inheriting troubles, I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
11 Mama, I'm Coming Home (04:37)
Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm coming home
Times gone by seem to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm coming home
You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama, I'm coming home
I could be right, I could be wrong
Hurts so bad, it's been so long
Mama, I'm coming home
Selfish love yeah we're both alone
The ride before the fall
But I'm gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all
CHORUS
I've seen your face a hundred times
everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause Mama, Mama, I'm coming home
I'm coming home
You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes
Repeat Chorus *2
12 Bark at the Moon (04:29)
Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
He's Returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon!
Ha ha ha!
Years spent in torment
Buried in a nameless grave
Now he has risen
Miracles would have to save
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon!
Hey, yeah, bark at the moon!
They cursed and buried him
Along with shame
And thought his timeless soul had gone
In empty burning hell - Unholy One
But he's returned to prove them wrong, so wrong
Yeah baby!
Howling in shadows
Living in a lunar spell
He finds his Heaven
Spewing from the mouth of Hell
Those that the beast is looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon!
Hey, yeah, bark at the moon!
Hey, yeah, bark at the moon!
Oh, oh, yeah, bark at the moon!
Howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwl!
13 Paranoid (03:49)
Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think that 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 like love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to end your life, I wish I could but it's too late
