losing their voice, 'cause they're yelling a lot.

- His voice sounds deeper and slower.

It just sounds like a different person overall.

- ♪ (guitar solo) ♪

- It was crazy.

- Not my taste. Too rock and roll.

- Some of them, I really like,

but some of them, they were too crazy for me.

- They're all catchy. I was actually surprised

that I liked them a little, 'cause this isn't the genre

I usually listen to.

- I really like Black Sabbath. That was really cool.

They have Ozzy Osbourne. They have a great guitar person.

Sorry, I don't know your name. There was some really good

drum parts. Pretty awesome.

- (FBE) So, they band was actually formed in 1968.

The lead singer was Ozzy Osbourne.

- Oh, really? I'm pretty sure his daughter's

a famous singer now.

- I've heard that he bit an animal's head off.

- (FBE) So, Ozzy was known for being pretty wild.

He partied pretty hard. He started doing crazy

things on stage. At one time,

he even bit off the head of a bat.

- I hope he cooked it.

- You don't wanna be friends with a guy who bites

off heads of bats.

- There is being cool, there's being extreme,

there's being hardcore, and then there's just

being totally insane.

- (FBE) So, why do you think that rock stars end up

doing crazy things like this? - So they can get more fans.

- When people become famous, they go into crazy things.

- They're singing about dark destruction.

It might be brainwashed into their brain, craziness.

- It gives them more attention. Any publicity is good publicity.

- It grabs the attention a lot more, because you might

not like the music as much, but you just really want

to see them perform, 'cause something crazy might happen.

- (FBE) Over the years, Ozzy went on to have

a solo career, but is reunited with Black Sabbath

and they are listed as an influence to famous bands,

many of which we've featured on Kids React,

such as Metallica, Iron Maiden, Nirvana,

Guns and Roses, and more. Do you get why their sound

would impact other bands, or do you not feel

like they're a band you'd wanna be like?

- Honestly, I wouldn't really wanna be like 'em,

'cause I'm more of a solo person.

I perform at my talent show every year if it's a solo song.

- I get how they were influential. When I hear those bands,

and now I hear this one, they kind of have the same

feel to them.

- If I was a rock band, I'd totally wanna be like them,

because they went on their own track and got successful.

- People would really want to be like this band.

I love this band. I love their songs that they do.

You can just rock out, play guitar.
