Despite not being re-released, there are still many, many used copies of this album at the used shops around here.

I have yet to disagree with the numbskull when it comes to music.
The Ultimate Sin is one of Ozzy`s finest, and one of my most played albums of all times.

Shot in the Dark is a top 3 Ozzy song to me. Great album as well.

Best Buy carries the C.D, with an import sticker affixed to it. I need to pick this up, since I have everything besides "Speak of the Devil" and "Just Say Ozzy" for the remastered 1995 disks.

Deleting an album just because Sharon couldn't have all the royalties is beyond lame and an insult to the fans. She probably loves that Ozzy is next to brain dead so she can do what she wants without petition.

I've always liked this album too. But I like all of Ozzy's stuff. Thought he was boring to watch live but I have always really liked his music and bands. He has been surrounded by top top notch players since the beginning and that always helps.

Didn't Dweezle Zappa do some guitar work on the Ultimate Sin album or was it just a part in the video?

This was long one of my favorite albums, period! It is a sentimental favorite, and one of the first full-lenght albums I owned. I played it to death, playing my old Atari games. To this day I still see Tetrix boxes everytime I hear any song from this album! I used to wake up to "Killer of Giants" every moring after I got a little tired of WASP's "F**k Like A Beast".

Killer of Giants is such a great tune. Too bad it doesn't make the set lists live or greatest hits cd's.

I love THE ULTIMATE SIN. Its a magic album with those special sounds and efects. Realy cool and mystical heavy metal album.

"Shot in the dah-ee-aak. One step away from you." This album really takes a brother back to dem school daze. Mackin' on a few sweet shorties with my flannel shirt and ripped jeans. I don't know how they ever resisted that 10th grade bulge which I had up on the auctioning block every day. Saw this tour at the local arena, with Queensryche opening up for the Oz-man. I definitely remember details of this night. Went with one of the older, tougher kids who was already a seasoned concert veteran. This was the time when concerts were at their complete height of lawlessness. Anything went during this time.

Before we entered the arena, there was some kinda altercation with the Mounted Police outside the main gates. Me and my buddy were watching the whole thing transpire, when some whacked-out kid actually PUNCHES one of the cop's horses smack dab in the snout! Holy shnitt! I had never seen something so crazy before. After that cooled down, we went in and down to our seats. Ready to watch the show when my bud alerts me that we are now moving down to Floor Level. Back then, it wasn't too difficult at all to hop dividers and get yourself down to the floor, which never had any seats to hinder your progress towards the stage.

There weren't any seats, and this environment woulda been optimal for moshing/slamming, but this dance form hadn't quite made it over from the small clubs of the Hardcore Punk scene. So, it was a bunch of sweaty kids pushing they way forth to the front. I wasn't a brute like my older friend was, so I stayed back a bit and watched from there. Here I am seeing Queensryche on the Rage For Order tour, and I really didn't enjoy it at all. I had no idea who they were yet. Wouldn't know them until the following year when my buddy turned me onto the record, months before Mindcrime hit.

So, I'm sitting there, about a third of the way back, when some hot little Metal girl approaches and says, "My friend over there thinks you're cute and she wants to be with you." Who remembers these days and these situations? lol. Well, I'm in the middle of an arena, what the heck does this girl mean by wanting to be with me? Where? In the toilet? I'm only 16 at the time and deathly afraid of aggresive Metal girls. I had only done the deed twice prior to this night and didn't want to fess up to my inexperience with some seasoned Oz skank in some toilet stall.

I finally see who it is that's taking an interest in me and she turns out to be the cutie from the local game room. Oh, man! Nice! I wanted this girl for months now. I still remember what she would wear all the time, and that feathered-back hair that was all the rage back then. So, that night was obviously a wash because of the show, but I wind up catching up with her at the game room and that little Oz convo turns into a nice little fling with the girl one town over. Thank you, Ozzy and 'Ryche. Thank you for that sweet teenage poon.
