Paul Harries – you’ve probably heard the name, and you’ve definitely seen the pictures he’s taken over the last 34 years. They’re stunning shots of famous music artists – everyone from Dua Lipa to Slash, Ozzy Osbourne to Tinie Tempah, Craig David to Kurt Cobain – that perfectly encapsulate their personalities. Paul gets hired by record companies for album shoots and publicity Kurt Cobain grew up listening to Black Sabbath, but when the opportunity arose to support Ozzy Osbourne in what would have been a blockbuster line-up, Nirvana decided against accepting the generous offer. Playing second fiddle to another band wasn’t of interest to the Seattle three-piece at that Kurt Cobain was a huge Ozzy Osbourne fan. The late Nirvana frontman, who died aged 27 in 1994, pioneered the grunge music movement, in the same way Ozzy's group Black Sabbath brought metal to the Kurt Cobain was the driving force behind Nirvana, his songwriting propelling the band to great heights. The most unlikely former professions of famous musicians: Ozzy Osbourne – Abattoir Worker Black Sabbath ‘s Ozzy Osbourne took a job as a young man in an abattoir. He was responsible for slaughtering cattle and removing their hooves, making Ozzy’s dark, evil lyrics even more sense. “It wasn’t because I was killing animals,” Ozzy said. Interesting how he said Ozzy's "last shows". I was a kid in the 90's and didn't know that the public opinion was always kinda like "yeah, any day now" and yet he was playing for decades after. I wonder what his opinion on the Obsournes show would have been. Nirvana not wanting to open for Ozzy was a good move. They would not have got a good reaction from the crowds. A small percent would like them sure but not the majority. It kinda would have been like the reception AIC got on the Clash of the Titans tour but even worse. Boomer metalheads still bitch and complain about Nirvana to this day. Though early reports hinted at possible jail time, no charges were filed in the end. Rob Zombie and Ozzy Osbourne Rob Zombie and Ozzy Osbourne have shared a long friendship—and some truly unforgettable moments. Their first meeting? Pure Ozzy. Zombie showed up at Osbourne’s house expecting a group hang, only to find it was just the two of them. Ozzy Osbourne might be the face of all things hard rock, but Kurt Cobain felt that only certain parts of his solo career was worth listening to. These are some of the huge artists Cobain and company refused to perform alongside. First up, Ozzy Osbourne. Speaking about Nirvana’s decision to turn down the offer of supporting the Black Sabbath frontman, Cobain told Gilbert Blecken “He also asked us to go on tour with him, but we turned it down. Black Sabbath singer, Ozzy Osbourne revealed in an interview with Lauch Radio Networks back in 2007 his favorite Hard Rock bands and one of them were Nirvana. “Apparently, I met (late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain), ’cause I was talking to Dave Grohl and he said, ‘You probably don’t remember this, but when you were in Devonshire Studios in the (San Fernando) Valley, me and Kurt were in Transcript Gilbert Blecken: I recently read that even Ozzy Osbourne is now into "Nevermind." What do you think of having him as a fan? Kurt Cobain: I can understand Ozzy liking us, because we have some similarities with his former band. Ozzy was also in the same mixing studio that we were in for our last record. There were a few times when we were coming towards each other and I had to move Kurt Cobain isn't some untouchable golden God to him. He was just his friend. Buzz saw how fame fucked up Cobain's life. People give every excuse to famous people. People put famous people on a pedestal, and accept things about them that they wouldn't if that same person was their friend or family member. Reply reply lilpumpgroupie • Apparently, being a fan of Ozzy Osbourne wasn’t enough to say yes to the Black Sabbath icon when he offered Nirvana to be his opening act. During an interview, Kurt Cobain opened up about Osbourne and recalled the time he asked Nirvana to go on tour with him. Ozzy Was Very EXCITED To Meet His Musical Hero Paul McCartneyBut McCartney Is SNOBBISH Towards Him and Treats Him Like a Fan! What is the opinion of the legendary Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne on the influential Grunge Rock band Nirvana and Kurt Cobain. Yea, Kurt was always referencing Black Sabbath as an influence in his interviews. One particular quote I remember “I think we sound like The Knack and The Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath.” But unlike Ozzy Osbourne's infamous bat-biting incident, in which Osbourne seemingly did (accidentally) bite into a dead bat onstage, Alice Cooper didn't mess around with no chicken. Kurt talked about the band that made him cry and the bands that helped him, but the one band he grew up listening to was Black Sabbath. Over the years, many bands and artists complimented including, Kurt’s favorite artist, Ozzy Osbourne. Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love’s daughter Frances Bean Cobain has shared bizarre photos of Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne on The Osbournes, where he looks bewildered.
