im glad people agree with me that he could be 6ft.
RisingForceYJM says on 1/Jun/08
Yeah I can see him possibly being as low as 6 foot flat considering I've heard that often for Zakk but nothing under that. I couldn't imagine any 5-11 guy claiming to look 6-2 and at times looking over that. He didn't look much shorter than 6-3 Yngwie at the Randy Rhoads Rock Walk Of Fame induction.

When comparing Zakk and Dimebag you gotta remember that Zakk wears boots almost all the time and Dimebag wore converse. Boots give about 1.5 inch advantage. Zakk has always looked 6ft.
glenn says on 22/May/08
6-2 it is,with the possiblity of 6ft.cause of what i remembered.he was so young,maybe he wasnt fully grown when i first met him.
RisingForceYJM says on 20/May/08
On the remastered cd of No Rest For The Wicked Zakk actually looks 6'4 next to Ozzy. It's shocking but check it out. I also remember a picture of Zakk when he was really young with ozzy in a magazine the caption was something like "this picture was taken when Zakk used to shower". Strangely enough Zakk look 6'4 in that picture too. I don't think his 6'2 claim is impossible because he looked taller than that in his heeled boots when I met him.
Hooch says on 28/Apr/08
I saw them live last summer and Zakk was doubt the tallest of them. 5'9.5 seems correct for Ozzy, Zakk 6', Blasko about 5'8 and Mike Bordin 5'7-5'8.
RisingForceYJM says on 26/Apr/08
I don't rule out Zakk being 6 foot flat but he did appear the same height as Jerry Cantrell who is supposed to be around 6'1" and he's said he is 6'2" and 220 pounds I believe. I also saw one picture where he had 5-6 inches on Dime who was 5'8" or 5'9". I met Zakk once and he seemed atleast 6'2" but I don't remember what his footwear was.
Lmeister says on 20/Apr/08
Randy Rhodes was a short guy around 5ft5 I think. I agree with you Glenn about Castillos height. He seemed somewhat shortish, if you look at his body portions.
glenn says on 19/Apr/08
thats what ive been saying about zakk all along.thanks for backing me.
Bleemo says on 19/Apr/08
Zakk Wylde is billed as 6' everywhere and there's clips on the Pantera homevideo with him and 5'8' Dime and he doesn't dwarf him at all.
glenn says on 25/Mar/08
i never met randy.saw him on stage.he looks 5-8 to 5-10 range.more on the 5-8.
afterlife says on 24/Mar/08
does anybody know how tall was randy castillo????? (R.I.P) the great late ozzy osbourne drummer
MK says on 27/Feb/08
Im pretty sure hes shorter than you Sonya. Met him 2 years back 5'9'' at very most(huge heels too)
Sonya Mills says on 27/Dec/07
5'9.5" , cool, that makes two of us

I agree Old London, Ozzy is gotta be at least around 5'11. Maybe he might be wearing lifts.
Alexi says on 18/Jun/07
what the f*ck is McKellen technique???
Old London says on 30/Apr/07
Ozzy, the prince of darkness, has gotta be at least 5ft10, dosn't he?? I remember meeting him around 3 years ago at Ozzfest, he was taller than me and I'm 5ft9, And by taller I mean I was looking up to him
Anonymous says on 13/Mar/07
I am sure Zakk is over 6 foot after meeting him in person..heels or not. I'm 5'7 1/2 maybe a full 5'8 and he towered over me. Ronnie is 5'4...he has said so and he looks 5'4 in the picture Glenn posted.
glenn says on 11/Mar/07
i think vinny is one of the best.zakk shockingly looked short in a recent photo i saw with him and ozzy.massive heels and he didnt tower ozzy.i always thought he was tall too.now im not so sure.i always thought 6ft.maybe he is.maybe a little less.randy looked from 5-4 to 5-7.depending.yeah,jake was 5-7.i thought 5-8,but forgot the heels.
Brad says on 11/Mar/07
Randy was impossible to judge. I saw him twice onstage and he wore 70's type of footwear with huge heels. I met Jake E. Lee, he's a f-up and 5' 7". Zakk is tall but gawd has he lost his looks...he was lean & mean with Ozzy the first year. Mike Inez is a very cool guy. 5' 7" on him. Ozzy's lost his height since the Sabbath days. I wonder what he thinks of the Dio led Sabbath '07 tour. Vinny Appice is a bore, but a weak Bill Ward isn't a cuppa tea. Dio gives 110% on every tour, every band, and is one of the nicest people to meet. He's really short.
Anonymous says on 18/Feb/07
With Ozzy's posture and Randy wearing 2-3 inch heels he could look only 2-3 inches shorter than Ozzy at 5'5.
glenn says on 17/Feb/07
good point abou the 105 pounds.i was 117 and skinny 19 years ago at 5-7.so 105 sounds shorter.
Anonymous says on 15/Feb/07
Randy didn't look that short. I'd say 5'6 atleast but maybe he was shorter especially if he was really 105 pounds because I look atleast as skinny as him and I'm 5'7 1/2 and 118. I still say 5'6-5'7 he looked close enough to Ozzy who I believe was 5'10 in the 80's. Ozzy usually looks about 5'8 next to Zakk wylde now.
Glenn says on 13/Feb/07
Rhodes Im thinking was more 5-3 to 5-5.5-3 might be too low.but he wore super heels with Sarzo and Ozzy to appear around their height.
Anonymous says on 13/Feb/07
So I guess a lot of Ozzy's bandmates were 5'8!

Ozzy 5'10
Randy Rhoads 5'7
Tommy Aldridge 5'8
Rudy Sarzo 5'8
Don Airey 5'8
Bob Daisley 5'8
Jake E. Lee 5'8
Zakk Wylde 6'2
Mike Inez 5'8
Rob Trujillo 5'8
Glenn says on 5/Sep/06
Inez is 5-8.
Anonymous says on 4/Sep/06
Does any body know how tall Mike Inez is? He seems to be shorter than Ozzy back in the day.
MHouillon says on 19/Jul/06
After seeing him beside Billy Idol, it's time to downgrade him at at least 176cm (5'9.25), if not 175cm (5'9") !!!
Glenn says on 21/Jun/06
His posture in the last 10 years makes him look 5-8.
josh says on 19/Jun/06
according to how to measure a celeb's height on this page, i measure him to be the exact same height as leno, with flat shoes on. so i'd say ozzy's about 5'11, give or take half an inch.
Glenn says on 6/Jun/06
Whats fishy is that you cant tell my knees are bent and he is pushing me down.in his prime,he was 5-10.
Anonymous says on 5/Jun/06
somethings fishy, ozzy was at equal height to apollo ono in a picture i saw, apollo is 5'8 and ozzy was equal, so glenn might not be the 5'8 he says he is, or ozzys wearing really big boots.
Tone Lok says on 16/May/06
Saw Ozzy at the Four Seasons on Maui last week. He was wearing very flat shoes (I think Tod's or something similar)with absolutely no lift and when I stood next to him he appeared to be at least 5'10. He was pretty thin and seemed reasonably fit. Incidentally, he and his wife were absolutely sweet and loving to each other.

Randy Rhoads was 5-7
Ozzman says on 15/Apr/06
Does any one know how tall Randy Rhoads was?
Glenn says on 7/Apr/06
Trujillio is 5-8.thanks!
D. Ray Morton says on 6/Apr/06
Glenn, have you met ex-Ozzy/current Metallica bassist Rob Trujillo? If so, how tall?
Glenn says on 20/Jan/06
iommi looks 6 feet to me.
Danimal says on 20/Jan/06
I read some old articles on Black Sabbath (I'm a HUGE fan) and it stated that Tony Iommi was 6'2" (doesn't look it at all today) and that Ozzy was 5'11". This is going back 30-35 years ago of course. He's been listed at 5'10" for years now. I suspect he is in the 5'9" and change range today...He was short next to Conan O'brien, but not THAT short.
Glenn says on 19/Jan/06
he use too look a little over 5-9 back in the day.now he is looking 5-8.ive read 5-11.so he probably was 5-10 in his prime.
TheMan says on 19/Jan/06
Yeah 5,9 now
elio says on 19/Jan/06
Sneaky S.O.B!... doing the McKellen technique.

I'd guess 5'9"

Perhaps Glenn can tell us what his impression of Ozzy's height was?
CelebHeights Editor says on 19/Jan/06
Ozzy and Glenn added...
Glenn says on 18/Jan/06
group photo with maiden coming!
Mr. Awesome says on 18/Jan/06
glenn, you have photos with bruce dickinson?...please send them...i'd like to see them since i'm a huge iron maiden fan and i collect their memorabelia, such as a wrist-band and drum sticks both used by Nicko McBrain, signed posters, guitar picks, etc...and Rob, would you please add a page for Bruce Dickinson...he's either 5'5'' or 5'6''...let the debate begin!
Glenn says on 10/Jan/06
Chris is right.5-5.I have 10 photos with bruce.ozzy's been looking 5-8 for a few years.
Danimal says on 10/Jan/06
Bruce Dickinson is 5'6", not 5'5".
Chris says on 27/Dec/05
Bruce Willis is one inch shorter than Matthew Perry. I guess Bruce is around 5'11''. Not taller...maybe 5'10'½''.
Mr. Awesome says on 22/Jul/05
A good height to compare Ozzy to is that of Iron Maiden frontman, Bruce Dickinson, who is around 5'5''. He performed with his band directly before Ozzy did on Tuesday, and hunched over as Ozzy was, he looked no bigger than Bruce Dickinson. On the few rare occassions during the evening when he stood erect, he looked to be in the 5'8''-5'9'' range. He's definitely lost height since his younger days, there's no question about it. One thing is for certain though...Dickinson is an excellent performer, one of the best rock frontmen of all time...he's so full of energy and talent and he has the commanding stage presence of someone much larger.
Mr. Awesome says on 21/Jul/05
I saw him in concert on Tuesday, and I was very close to the stage. These days he's REALLY hunched over, which gave him the appearance of someone 5'6'' or shorter...he's also extremely frail...he did put on a great show though...I would bet that he was a solid 5'10'' in his youth, but now it is plain to see that it is a real labor for him to stand upright... gotta give the guy credit thought...st his age he can still flat out rock! he still was kicking arse...his stooping made him significantly shorter than anyone in Sabbath that night.
