"Suicide Solution" is a song by Ozzy Osbourne. It is track five on the album "Blizzard of Ozz" released in 1980. Guitarist Randy Rhoads wrote the riff to the song (he had previously used the riff on the Quiet Riot track "Force of Habit"), and Ozzy Osbourne wrote the lyrics. Ozzy Osbourne supposedly released this track as a tribute to Bon Scott of AC/DC who died of alcohol abuse. . [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005285/bio Ozzy Osbourne - Biography ] ]

The song was very controversial following its release, and on January 13th, 1986, Ozzy Osbourne was taken to court by parents of John McCollum, a teenager who shot himself in the head while listening to this song. What is mostly overlooked is that John was reported to have a depression illness. Although the court cleared the case, many listeners continue to wonder what Ozzy is saying part way through the song. Ozzy had a habit of talking or yelling things while recording the song (for example yelling "COCAINE" during the Sabbath song "Snowblind." He would often repeat these things live, but such interjections were usually taken out by sound engineers for the records. IBAR, The Institute for Bio-Acoustics Research, analyzed the song and found that subliminal message-like noises were recorded in the song. Ozzy, however, denies anything of the sort. Bob Daisley and Ozzy Osbourne both claim that Ozzy says "Get the flaps out" referring to a part of the female anatomy. However, some claim that Ozzy says "Get the glass shoot", "Let yourself go" or "Get the gun shoot", both of which support the court case. "Get the flask out" or "Get the shot glass" is a more logical translation since the song is dealing with alcohol abuse.

Another tragic case is when a rock music obsessed 14 year old (Eric A.), shot himself with a .22 caliber rifle. His parents blamed the following bands/artists: Ozzy Osbourne; AC/DC; Judas Priest; Black Sabbath; and Mötley Crüe. Ozzy, however, was the prime target, due to his song, "Suicide Solution".

The song is also famous for Randy Rhoads' solo at the end of the song on the live album "Tribute"; this solo originated from Rhoads' Quiet Riot days in which he performed this song part way through "Laughing Gas", the original solo was over 6 minutes and contained references to "Goodbye to Romance", "Mr. Crowley", and "William Tell Overture", although the solo he performed with Ozzy was just over two minutes. The live solo features arguably Rhoads' fastest recorded playing.
