i heard that name before... is ozzy os-something isn't it?

Yeah...Ozzy Osbourne.

Ozzy Osbourne was the singer for Black Sabbath in their most relevant period, from about 1969 to 1979. After that he had a solo career under his own name, and then he started (in 1997) the longest-running summer-huge-package-tour, the Ozzfest.

He is probably currently most famous, though, as the star of MTV's The Osbournes, where he plays himself, an aging rock star permanently addled by several cubic meters of drugs and a supertanker's worth of booze.

And Blue Man Group is definitely nifty. I didn't ever really get into them, though, because they started out at the Charles River Playhouse while I was in high school, and if they're around your area all the time, the "experience" of it is lessened. Just jaded probably.

And you can ask the mods to change your username directly rather than making a new account...unless you want to discard your old videos as well as your old shenanigans from your current identity.

i'll give you clues
1.it's instrumental only no vocals at all
2.they use instruments but i'll tell u of just one 'cause you'll know for sure if i tell you the second
they use piano and another instument
3.it's from the end of the 70's
4.it was sampled in a new stupid mainstream rap song(how do they dare?)
but in the song it's pretty hard to notice it was sampled from 'cause i ruin it so much
btw,today i heard a metal song in a lopp for 3 times!

Yeah, RATM are pretty well known for both their music and their activism. They had a long string of really successful albums in the '90s before breaking up a couple years ago. Between de la Rocha's vocal style and the political bent of the lyrics, it's easy to see why you thought of N.W.A. For better or worse they were the major influence bringing rap vocals into heavy music...whether because they were whiter and less heavy than Body Count or because Ice-T had several band members die on him at a bad time, I don't know enough to say.

I was always a fan of Tom Morello's experimentation on the guitar and the band's sound in general, but I'm not a big fan of Audioslave, which is basically the instrumentalists from RATM with Chris Cornell from Soundgarden on vocals. "Cochise" is just uninsipred yawping, I thought I was going to put my fist through the radio when I heard it the other day. Stick with Rage; Evil Empire was a good disc, and it was successful enough that you should be able to "preview" it easy enough.

Hmm... hmm... not sure, really.

Funny thing is, I already did a video to a song that almost fits that description though - a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" by Bond (that's for the instrumental project). It was used as backing by Puff Daddy on the godzilla soundtrack (albeit the original guitarist, Jimmy Page, was in on the whole thing...)

And yea, RATM is pretty good. I thought you'd probably like them, I mean they're aggressive, reality-oriented and rap-influenced enough. I do like Morello's guitar work, like Kai. My brother's definitely a fan of theirs, too..

lol
for real?
but it's just annoying what they did to such an awsome song
i bet puffy(or as i prefer calling him : "poofy"...lol)
made the song shit

and i really don't care if they're aggressive or rap-influenced
i just like songs with messages

oh and here's another clue :
it's nothing even close to rap/hip-hop/metal/reggae/pop or something like that
it's rare...really rare
yet i'm sure everyone heard it...
lol
you don't have any idea which song is it?
