Jack Osbourne Chronicling Black Sabbath’s Return

Jack Osbourne

Of course he is.

Jack Osbourne fancies himself a filmmaker. Because his dad, Ozzy Osbourne, was the subject of his ass-kissing documentary.

Jack Osbourne wouldn’t have a job if it weren’t for Ozzy. He’d have to work in a gas station or construction. He’d have to actually do something for money, rather than just…well, be.

Jack Osbourne’s famous for existing. He was born. That’s his grandest achievement in terms of things he’s done without the help of his dad.

Jack is now shooting a behind-the-scenes film about the making of Black Sabbath’s new disc, 13.

If not for my parents, I’d be homeless in all likelihood. But I have an actual job. I make money of my own. And my dad’s got nothing to do with it.

I have success in my field because I put in the time, and because I know what I am doing and have the experience to dominate.

Jack, you and I are very different.

    While his greatest achievement may have been being born, he should know that he is involved in my greatest achievement. It all went down at Ozzfest 2002 in Alpine Valley. Standing on stage left during Hatebreed and saying no to 17 year old Jack Osbourne when asked if he could stand in front of me.
