It goes with out saying that as far as monsters of metal go, that Ozzy Osbourne is one of the godfathers of the genre! I mean rather he is biting the heads off of bats, or doing that reality show that he did with his family a few years back, this guy personifies everything that is truly exceptional of not just heavy metal music, but his style like the look that the types of horror movies that this music attracts as well!

But before Ozzy went on to do his epic solo career around the 1980s, he started off in the band, 'Black Sabbath' (a kick ass band that takes it's name from the classic 60s horror movie!)

Anyway, there is a ton of great music that came out of that band during the time that Ozzy was with them, but there is one song that I wanted to single out here because it is truly awesome, and that song is, 'Iron Man' (1971), a song that was later turned in to it's own single from their second studio album, 'Paranoid' (1971)!

Now this song is truly a spectacular song that... Well if you like truly, 'Heavy' metal, then you are going to love this song... And you know what you would think that this song would go on perfectly with Iron Man the movie right? Well the truth is, is there is a misconception about this song and its tie to the movie... You'll have to see the movie to find out what I am talking about!

This song has also been used in the movie, School Of Rock (2003), as well as having been redone by Frank Zappa at a concert that they actually attended!

In the end, this song rules, and if you have a chance to check it out, well then I highly recommend doing so, it is a fun one and well worth it!
