Review about Ozzy Osbourne Who was Mr. Crowley | Reviewer: Nick
------ About the song Mr. Crowley performed by Ozzy Osbourne
Alistair Crowley, (October 12, 1875 – December 1, 1947), born Edward Alexander Crowley, was an English occultist, writer, mountaineer, poet, yogi, and possible spy. He was an influential member of occult organisations, including the Golden Dawn, the A∴A∴, and Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), and is known today for his magical writings, especially The Book of the Law, the central sacred text of Thelema. He gained notoriety during his lifetime, and was denounced in the popular press of the day as "The wickedest man in the world."

Just get big lift weights and train heavy or go home and when jesus returns in the eastern sky we can say we told you so, since you not going to listen now, you eventually will every head and knee shall bow and every tongue confess, and if just for some small reason there is a hell and non believers go there wouldnt that suck to burn for enternity. But as far as ozzy if anyone has watched his reality show he is a christian and believes in god and if you guys are such satanist you surely would believe ozzy confessing to god the higher power, get real people, evolution or big bang theory come on you are more intelligent than that.

Crowley was a sick demented man who was adicted on drugs . And he desecrated and infantilized the magic world claiming to have control over it, but in fact he was the one in control.Osbourne was not far away from him because he lived the same lifestyle its the poor talking about the miserable.

You mentioned Ozzy made a first stop in Alaska in 2002...not true . I saw hin perform only weeks after RAndy died, it was Brad Gillis performing . I was living in Alaska at the time and the concert in Anchorage was my very first . Even still got the t shirt. No stage show at all of course.... just Ozzy and the band in an auditorium .

Is it just me or are some of these people misunderstanding this song? It's about Aleister Crowley, yes, he was a satanist. But Ozzy is condemning him in this song. Not admiring him or claiming to be a satanist as well. He is simply stating that Mr. Crowley (Aleister Crowley) was a waste of an intelligent mind. He worships satan and even refers to himself as "The Beast" He has a large group of followers, comparible to Hitler, he fooled people into following his beliefs of the devil. In this song, Ozzy is basically asking him "what the fuck is wrong with you?" and why would you live your life this way?!

------ About the song Mr. Crowley performed by Ozzy Osbourne
Wow you really are all a pathetic bunch of losers. Its a kick ass song, who honestly cares about the "hidden" meaning. Mr. Crowely? Who cares if he was a satanist or not, he was still a genious. And to all you religious nuts out there, get over it. If your so against all this sort of stuff, dont look it up and criticise it. Just get over the whole "holyier than tho" bullshit, pull your thumbs out your asses and look up the meaning of democracy and diversity. Thank you and good luck with it.
Ozzy rocks and this has to be one of the greatest songs ever!!
Ozzy....I have loved you since Black Sabbath, and love you more now for your resilience. You hung in there and fought for what you believed regardless of what people thought or said. You should be commended for that, and in response to a previous review I would be proud to be one of your children. I also have children and grandchildren that listen to your music with me. You are a gentleman among men and I congradulate you on your long and continuous fight with drugs and alcohol. I too strugle with the disease and look to you and your music at times for strength and always find it. Because if you can do it in all that limelight then so can I and I have. So don't listen to the narrow minded and keep up the awesome work and music. Your children should be proud!! :) My mother had a sign on our front door all my life that says it all to everyone across this planet, it read "Grant that I may not critisize my neighbor until I have walked a mile in his moccosins". I whole heartedly believe this.
Thank you Ozzy you are the greatest, I commend you and love you!!! :)

------ About the song Mama, I'm Coming Home performed by Ozzy Osbourne
I love this song so much, it's impossible to explain. A lot of slow songs now are not only bad but bland and emotionless. You can just hear the emotions in ozzy's voice.I don't know why, but sometimes this song makes me think of randy rhoads which makes me cry. I love ozzy! He is the best and always will be! R.I.P.

well. i've found some facts about crowley's life, and he was a satanist. well, i really don't care, the song is amazing!!!! i can't understand why don't you say your opinion about the song, and try to see if Aleister was with the devil's side. well if he was, i'm sure he was right, if i had to decide i would be a satanist than christian.... by the way, this is one of my favorite songs, and here Randy's solos are amazing, Randy is my favourite guitarist and i really love him. and Ozzy is one of my best singers!!! so stop losing your time with these things....

You know, all this speculation can be cleared up very easily.... Look for a book by Carol Clerk entitled "Diary of a Madman-Ozzy Osbourne-The stories behind the songs".
Interviews of Ozzy and other band members/producers, etc about what the lyrics mean and how they came to be.
It covers from his Sabbath days to Down to Earth.

nope | Reviewer: Ghorak
------ About the song Mr. Crowley performed by Ozzy Osbourne
Nope, he isn't a satanist he just insisted that he saw demons which one of them called "Aiwaz" refers to his higher self who made him write the book "Liber al vel vegis" and also those demons he told about were not in Christianity, those were in his theology of Thelema.
Does it matter? | Reviewer: Trent
------ About the song Mr. Crowley performed by Ozzy Osbourne
How would any of you know if Crowley was Satanic or not? Were any of you there? And why should it matter if he is when you review the song? Yes you could argue wither he is arguing a point or something but it's still a kick ass song and that's all that should matter.
As an Atheist, I say you're all wasting your time with religion but that's just me.

This song is a reckoning among men for those of you who are non-believers you shall be drenched in the blood of your loved ones and left alone with no one there to prevent you from crawling like maggots at the feet of your so called "GOD". But do not fear children for Satan lightly spreads his wings and his essence shall surround you in an all to familiar warm and extasy...

------ About the song See You On The Other Side performed by Ozzy Osbourne
Can there be a better song written about death than this? Like most of his slower tracks, the music arrangement is simple (yet, very haunting and compelling). And the emphasis is mainly on the vocals (lyrics included). Zack does a neat job yet again. Zack and Ozzy do compliment each other very well. This is my favourite song of Ozzy's after Mr Crowley. One get's the feeling of sinking into a bottomless abyss listening to this song. Drifting and fading away into oblivion but, not before assuring that you part only to meet again.

------ About the song Mr. Crowley performed by Ozzy Osbourne
This song kicks it to the next level. Edward Alexander Crowley is NOT a satanist, for all you Neo-Nazi Bible Bashing Freaks, Edward Alexander Crowley was a student of the most ancient arts, pre-dating all known religious belief. Calling him the wickedest man on earth is a mis-quote, Crowley had enemies within the occult because he didn't see the need to keep his practices secret. The song is cool and Ozzy is great. The book Ozzy refers to is "The keys of solomon" an ancient tome that details the rites and rituals of the line of kings, this includes King David. Wicked lyrics though. Serious rifts and a killer tune. The song actually came about because Ozzy had read the biography of Crowley and was using a Tarot deck.
I like this song but some of the lyrics are wrong like in the first verse its "Standing at the crossroads". Not on the crossroads. And also its "while spinning round and round". Not world spinning round and round. I MEAN DID YOU READ THE LYRICS BOOK THAT CAME WITH THE ALBUM?!

------ About the song Mr. Crowley performed by Ozzy Osbourne
Brilliant song, really love it - one of Ozzy's best.
Remember, as Satanic as all you god-lovers out there think this song to be - Ozzy Osbourne is a performer, and by singing about Aleister Crowley he is not saying that he agrees with him. (Even though it is debatable to even consider Aleister Crowley 'satanic'.)
