Neil Carter Throws Shade at Ozzy Osbourne; Says Rocker Is Not a ‘Good Singer’ at All

Neil Carter professed that he is not a fan of Ozzy Osbourne as the rocker is "not a good singer" at all.

Osbourne has millions of people who adore him since he began his career. However, the UFO's keyboardist and rhythm guitarist is not one of them.

In a new interview with Rock Interview Series, Carter opened up about his thoughts on Osbourne's voice. He claimed that the rocker's solo career would have never been successful if it was not because of the A-list musicians he worked with in the past years.

Carter freely expressed his opinion, as he and his band became the inspiration of other rock and metal artists, like Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Pearl Jam, and Iron Maiden, to name a few.

"Yeah, yeah, quite a lot, I used to chat with him. He was a very dedicated musician, he used to sit and practice and play, but he was a very nice guy. When I see pictures of Randy, he seems so young. I was probably, maybe the same age around that time, maybe slightly older. I just thought he was a fantastic guy," he said, as quoted by Ultimate Guitar.

For the guitarist, he found it a very strange thing to see how people always get captivated by the Prince of Darkness' performances.

But although he is not a fan of the rocker's vocals, he clarified that he appreciates him as a person.

Carter noted that Osbourne himself is an extremely funny guy. Unfortunately, it was not enough for him to feel impressed by the rock star's vocals.

Why is Ozzy Osbourne Famous?

Despite Carter's comment, Osbourne has since proved himself by making history and breaking records since his debut.

In a new interview with Louder's Classic Rock, Black Sabbath's drummer Bill Ward shared a glimpse of the rise and fall of the band and how it helped the birth of punk rock in several regions.

"We played like punks on stage. The band was just fucking crazy. There was this force, all this resentment, and anger that was coming out. It came from what we thought was bullshit at the time: politics and war, and upbringing and people's ways of life," he said.

Ward also knows how Osbourne played a huge part in Black Sabbath's success, as he instantly felt the band would be a hit when the rocker was tapped to become the vocalist.

When Osbourne left the band, fans believed it became the start of his new life as he earned more attention from the public.
