I’d forgotten this combination of Ozzy’s ‘Diary of a Madman’ (verses) and The Cure’s ‘Lovesong’ (chorus) even existed until I found it on an old CD full of mp3′s. As you’ll recall from my 2003 Xmas mix, I’m a sucker for songs that are melded together. This is a live version – I’m pretty sure they never recorded this, but I could be wrong. See if you can pick out the tasteful improvisation that replaces the line ‘Diary of a Madman.’

heh, I’m not a perfect circle fan… but I love this sort of cross genre-bending songs (especially mixing a heavy song with a crispy clean quasi-ballad)

I always wanted to do a country version of “green hell” but never got around to it… but I digress.

Thanks for posting the mp3, made my mornin.
