"... When it comes to the release of the new DVD Ozzy Osbourne: Double O Unauthorized, reasons behind it matter little to those who are looking for a cool an interesting biography on the granddad of Metal. All that matters is that you know this is one of the worst ... that I have ever seen on DVD in my entire life. The back of the DVD informs us that it was "Produced without the authority of Ozzy Osbourne, his management or his record company". Well thank God for that! Though this kind of approach could have produced something interesting, it is instead probably the only good thing about this cheap excuse for a documentary. Well, it only lasts about 42 minutes long, so that's another good thing I guess. If Ozzy, his management, or his record company ever put out something this poor, they would do best to look for another line of work.Don't look for live performances here by Ozzy. Don't even look for ANY of his music to even appear on the disc! What we have instead are a few interviews with Ozzy that shed little to no insight, and rehash the same stuff that even the least dedicated fan of Ozzy probably already knows. On top of this, is a bunch of behind the scene footage (fans talking, crowd shots, etc.) mixed together and REPEATED OVER AND OVER for your viewing torment. There are other things about this ... production that also stick out ..., but the disc already took up more time out of my life then I'm happy about so I'll just let dead things like this DVD rot where they are. With the various law suites going on against the world of Ozzy these days, it might be good if Ozzy and his people consider one of their own when it comes to this DVD's release. Even the most diehard fan has little to nothing of gain here. ...There is almost certain to be more things to come out on Ozzy in light of his recent furthered success. Buyer Beware! ...I also write for an online rock magazine. Trust me on this one and save your cash."

This ...!!!!!!!

"If you are an Ozzy fan or a music fan of any type then DO NOT buy this trash!!!!! This is one of the poorest quality videos that I have ever seen. The information is wrong half of the time and most of the footage is not even of Ozzy. The portion of the tape that is actually an interview with the Ozzman is over 10 years old and badly edited."

TOTAL GARBAGE!

"I am the biggest Ozzy fan in the world. I have 5 autographs, I have collectibles, every cd, rare stuff... you get the point. I know the facts and I have seen every Ozzy piece there is. This is the worst piece ... I have ever seen. This looks like someone made it in their basement with a cam-corder. It has no concert footage, no ozzy music and no new information to offer. I am not joking. This stinks. Knowing Ozzy, don't be surprised if he speaks out against this unauthorized piece of junk and tells you not to buy it. He always deals with quality. He will be very angry to see this- so was I and you will be too. Words cannot express how angry I was at this "thing". ..."

Truly Horrid

"Possibly the worst DVD or rockumentary I have ever seen. And in Bangkok it cost me 25$! Basically a bunch of teens claimiing they planned the bat things and trying to capitalize on it. 75% is footage that has nothing to do with Ozzy: beer cans on a table, some garage band playing, some girls showing their breasts (not at an Ozzy concert...). It's ridiculous.Do not buy this!"
