These Does Ozzy Osbourne Write His Own Songs? In this engaging video, we dive into the songwriting process of the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, a monumental figure in the heavy metal scene. While Ozzy is According to Bob Daisley, Ozzy Osbourne is many things, but he's not a lyricist. And just as Geezer Butler supplied his words in Black Sabbath, Daisley wrote the lyrics for "Crazy Train," "Flying High Again," "Mr. Crowley" and the rest of the songs on the albums Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. As Bob explains, the post-Sabbath band that Ozzy formed with Randy Rhoads on guitar, Lee Ozzy Osbourne covered Symptom of the Universe, Sweetleaf, Snow Blind, Fairies Wear Boots and other songs.

Ozzy Osbourne did not write all of his songs by himself. Collaborators such as Geezer Butler, Bob Daisley, and Lemmy Kilmister played important roles in his songwriting process.

What does Ozzy says nowadays about the writing of his songs? Among many things he says that he has co-written the songs, when asked to comment that he has produced 173 songs.

He said his producer, Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta, did an amazing job writing lyrics from Snider's point of view. There's no question Ozzy is a heavy metal icon and a legendary frontman. But Snider says Ozzy has benefitted from a long line of amazing bassists who also wrote great lyrics. Been following his music for a long time, but I'm not sure what kind of a role he has had when writing his songs. Like, is he sitting down with a guitar or a piano and making songs that way, OR is it mainly just enabling the other talents in the band etc to bring their music in to the band. It seems at least that every Ozzy song pretty much sounds like the band around him. Any idea? Did Ozzy write any of his own music at all? I'd be surprised if he did, although there are so many similarities between his first batch of albums one would think it is the same writer. Bob Daisley allegedly did a lot of ghost writing for Ozzy in his early solo career.
