ozzy osbourne feat frank zappa stayn' alive

[TheEXpothead]

people who don't do drugs cant expand their minds XD

[The4thGuy]

@TheEXpothead Does that include Frank Zappa himself?

[fridun007]

@TheEXpothead --- yeah a prime example is Ozzy. He seems quite an intellectual.

[cherryorchards]

Oh ok, it was DWEEZIL!. The dimwit side of zappa.....I knew something was terribly wrong about this ozzy thing, Frank beeing associated with a semi retard junkie and all

[thekwaze]

@cherryorchards Frank was actually a friend of Ozzy - I know as they were together at the next table to me in a restaurant.

[Gregorypeckory]

@cherryorchards A "dimwit" could not have put together such a dauntingly ambitious project as ZPZ. Ozzy isn't stupid either. You on the other hand....

[cherryorchards]

@Gregorypeckory You didn`t just called me stupid, did you? because it looks like you did! Boy i hope i`m wrong, because that would make me really really mad!

but seriously, it breaks my spirit to know that a fan of Frank Zappa considers Zappa Plays Zappa an "ambitious project".

[demonicpriest]

@cherryorchards Obvious troll is obvious, responds only to the person who takes the bait but not the person that actually said something  that makes you look stupid.

[cherryorchards]

@demonicpriest hummm yeah... that`s totally the issue here. kudos!

[zappasgal2005]

It's just cool that two greats were put together. I love it when musicians cover each other and do it their style with respect for the original artist-like Sting and Zappa doing Murder by Numbers. Too cool.

[geoscott]

The story I heard was that it was Sharon who didn't want Ozzy to 'dilute his brand', as they say.

I'm playing bass, Josh Freese is on drums. The version on Ozzy's Prince of Darkness has new bass and drum tracks. I was THAT FREAKIN' CLOSE (holds thumb and forefinger an inch apart) to being on an Ozzy album. :-(

At least I met Donny as he was coming out of the control room. Nice chap!

[geoscott]

Guitar solos:

[1st Solo] – Dweezil Zappa

[2nd Solo] – Zakk Wylde

[3rd Solo] – Steve Lukather

[4th Solo] – Warren De Martini

[5th Solo] – Nuno Bettencourt

[6th Solo] – Tim Pierce

[7th Solo (triple-tracked at end of song] – Mike Keneally

[nickcresswell]

The story about this - as I remember it from 1991 - is that Dweezil wanted Ozzy to appear on his cover of Stayin' Alive for his Confessions of a Dprived Youth album. After they recorded it, Ozzy's record company would not permit him to appear on Dweezil's album, so Donny Osmond re-cut the volcals and thus Donny's version is the one most people know.

Obviously the tapes of Ozzy's vocals always existed so with the power of the internet it was only a matter of time before they leaked out.

[PlayLikeRodman91]

how stoned is zappa??? Gotta love it!

[guitarsehole]

@PlayLikeRodman91 Zappa didn't do drugs!! He hated drugs.

[perritoktt]

Las caga este guatón qliao. grande papi Ozzyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Foorehtnossip]

this has to be very loud ! - it took me awhile to realize i like OZZY -- but it might be his good wife that finally did it for him - and he has great kids - พิซออนเดอรูฟ

[kandauelliot]

Thanks for sharing especially the truth.

[CommBreakDown]

My question is Were the heck did he find the ozzy vocals? ive never heard him sing this.

[sedonamudsquid]

The poster must think we're all idiots like him. Putting images of Frank on this video when he had nothing to do with it is pathetic. Dweezil plays one of the solos but isn't in the video. Best to just listen and not watch.

[andrewsenger7105]

this sucks i think but what do i know

[MusicFromPeru]

@andrewsenger7105 sucks big time

[theboots17]

maybe Ahmet also played..

[Mitrazz]

I F*CKING LOVE IT!

[oripessach]

Yes, that's Nuno Battencourt. I forget who else plays there, but it's an impressive array of guitarists.

[LokiWyrd]

AWSOME!!!

FZ & OZZY ROCK!!!

[bucky468]

What happened to the "life goin' nowhere..." verse? Did Ozzy forget the lyrics when he was recording this?

[DimensionsofChange]

Very rock in roll, yet very disco

[DrFlaxWebFLOO]

Regardless of who it is, it's way better than the Bee Gees shit.

[HayTomHay]

Some People who don't know this ...but This is NOT FRANK I repeat this is not Frank but it is his talented son Dweezil...Hey if you want to know the most of Frank and the rest of his family then may I suggest that you sign up to Tom Hay Productions on Facebook and then you will be informed and get this in February 2011 The Tom Hay Show will be LIVe on the Internet ...So Join today and keep updated. Tom Hay Productions.

[comptonazzdonny]

is that nuno? i swear i heard a nuno solo in there some where

[QtommyQ]

This is Dweezil Zappa .......Frank had nothing to do with this. This was originally recorded with Donny Osmond, for Dweezil's Confessions.

[Wanderlustus]

@QtommyQ Thanks man, thought I was having a moment.

[FZmustacheFZ]

@chapter24 uh, frank absolutely did NOT write a lot of disco songs. he wrote a FEW parodies of disco songs. also (not to you, just dont really wanna post another comment), does anyone else notice how these are the same solos from dweezil's version. congrats ozzy, lotta hard work there -.-

[cadet58j]

This is Ozzy and Dweezil, not Frank

[kytkinlevy]

@cadet58j LOL

[LuneyTune72]

This isn't rare it's on the Prince of Darkness box set.

[Flingpingz]

@LuneyTune72

not this version ,its an edited version of this.

[murcuryvapor]

If memory serves, this was supposed to be on a Dweezil record. Not Frank playing.

[beethovenzappa]

Zappa did disco parody sometimes, like Dancin' Fool, which has a disco vamp in the outro. Also, in the eighties Zappa made little references to Stayin' Alive within other songs, like Approximate and Inca Roads. Dweezil doing the full song on his Confessions always seemed like a continuation of that Zappa joke to me.

[egipcio111]

I can hear the Frank`s voice...

[reldditmot]

Frank Zappa is not on this recording!

[microdot]

Disco boy-hoy run to the toilet and comb yer hair-air...

Relax kiddies, it' a great goof and it's Dweezil fryin yer kidneys here....Jr. really skanks up a platter!

[hotratz6]

This song is a one time collaboration project between Dweezil Zappa & Ozzy Osbourne and has nothing to do with Frank! Somebody paid for that project......

but who gives a shit ? Bitch!

[governorgilf]

What is this and where did it come from? It's like a bad dream! I can't believe Zappa had anything to do with this, but it sure sounds like Ozzy.

[DuncanMeece]

Are you fucking kidding me? Frank Zappa would NEVER play disco.

[psichomiko]

@DuncanMeece as a joke you know he would

[chapter24]

@DuncanMeece ?? Zappa wrote alot disco songs. What are you talking about?

[DuncanMeece]

@chapter24 Parodies.

[Beatnikzombie]

@chapter24 What? I don't think so.
