| @[digitalmanMKII:39128] they were too arrogant and self-absorbed, and believed Bob's line that it was just about sex-- note Ozzy's idiotic "flaps, bodge" nonsense, with which he's ruined a few other early tunes, including "Suicide Solution". | |

As noted by others, this is indeed Bob Daisley's ode to Sharon Osbourne for screwing him and all the other musicians who made Ozzy's career... Although Ozzy himself bears blame as well. Bob's genius is apparent here, managing to get a message of hate for the singer's wife onto the album by cleverly making it appear at first glance that the lyrics are all about sex. Indeed, that in itself would be clever enough, since the double entendres and metaphors he employs are themselves pretty crafty, and never sink to outright vulgarity. Bob has, in earlier interviews, simply passed it off as a song about "hiding a sausage," but has more recently admitted the real meaning and inspiration. Long live Bob Daisley! And God bless his poor back, which must ache abominably after carrying Ozzy's career for a good dozen years. |

@[King:39081] Nothing What idea? AJFA, on any of the songs that address anything related to the subject here, pointed out corruption in courts, government, etc. One of the most patriotic things one can do, in fact- provided one is doing so honestly, with the desire to see constructive changes, rather than simply offering critique with the desire to denigrate our nation and its norms, as so many seem to do. |

@[arkel:39080] Neo-cons generally aren't nationalists, but globalists who take advantage of the patriotism of the working classes to further their agendas. But yes, spot on. |

@[Naecoehtmai:39079] Your comment is a study in how we can so often project our own feelings and biases onto the words of others, especially when those others are people we admire and who we wish to believe would agree with us. |

@[Letaur:39078] None of those songs you mention are necessarily "anti-war" in the sense of being completely against fighting a war under any circumstances. They simply describe the horrors of war, and the callousness which those in power often exhibit towards those doomed to fight and die in them. AJFA (title track) and "Eye of the Beholder" rant against the corruption that has taken over systems of government, and media as well. Also, I think you need to look up the definition of "patriotism", and maybe read a bit more about Hetfield's personal beliefs. |
