No Picture jordan Porreca Lead Player	#1 by jordan Porreca porreca at Sep 29, 2007 at 4:49 AM EST
	uhhh... are you people serious? not about suicide? are you really that dumb? of course it's about suicide. with lines like "The reaper is you", "suicide is the only way out", "Suicide is slow with liquor", plus the title, how could anyone be so dense as to believe it isn`t about suicide? it doesn`t condone suicide, Ozzy isn`t telling anyone to kill themselves, in fact it is very much against suicide, Bon Scott's specifically. It's definitly about suicide, and is definitly against it.

	Wine is fine but wiskey's quicker ahha thats the best sentence...

No Picture Rodney Wanna Be	#3 by Rodney at Oct 1, 2007 at 3:26 AM EST
	time for a #1 ozzy fan to write well yes its about suicide and yes its a great song as they all r but the ozzman got sued and everyone was saying he shouldn't sing about this because it will convince teens to commit suicide and what ozzy says about this song is "well.... whatelse is there to say for this song... too many ppl thought i was a bad influence and wanted to sue me for it" and i got that out of the 4CD ozzy set and btw ozzy's favorite song is 'I Don't Know' at least off of the CD blizzard of ozz..... yea

No Picture Derek Average	#4 by Derek Mayfield at Oct 1, 2007 at 12:43 PM EST
	stillnotblackenough...RANDY DID NOT KILL HIMSELF!!! HE DIED IN A PLANE CRASH, THAT WAS NOT HIS FAULT!! omg...im gonna go insane here...is anybody else perturbed by the fact that people thought randy killed himself?!?!? randy is god , and he would not do that, man i miss him.

No Picture David Average	#5 by David Tims at Oct 2, 2007 at 11:24 AM EST
	You all got it wrong. First of all, Ozzy didn't write this song at all. Bob Daisley, the bassist did. It's about Ozzy drinking, doing drugs, and basically killing himself. It's not about Bon Scott, that's just a lie that Ozzy have been telling for the past 20 years because he's so embarrassed not having written ANYTHING on the first 2 albums. And, for the guy who couldn't even spell Rhoads, and thought that Randy killed himself - WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? Randy died in a planecrasch, and didn't even do drugs or alcohol!! Fuck sake...

No Picture Your account ha Average	#6 by Your account has been hacked into by Bkid23 Stupid.... at Oct 2, 2007 at 2:35 PM EST
	"Solution" in this song is sometimes thought as meaning the answer to a problem, but actually it's about a soultion or drink. Ozzy claims he wrote it about Bon Scott, but bassist Bob Daisley says he wrote it about ozzy and ozzy's drinking problems.

No Picture nick Wanna Be	#7 by nick at Oct 3, 2007 at 2:48 AM EST
	To all who rekon this song is about suicide, YOUR WRONG!! this song is dedicated to that AC/DC guy who fell asleep drunk in his car and died of hyperthurmia (however you spell it) Its people who think the song is about suicide who go and use it as a scapegoat. Save Ozzy from those poeples bullshit! Learn the facts

No Picture phil Average	#8 by phil gdfgr at Oct 3, 2007 at 9:40 AM EST
	a very depressing song but deeply meaningful and its a fuckin amazing song

No Picture james Rhythm Player	#9 by james dobson at Oct 4, 2007 at 3:39 AM EST
	" thought the song was written about Randy Rhodes and how he killed himself because he couldn't kick his drinking habit" what in the fuck? randy was straight laced he didnt even drink or do drugs at all. and how the hell would this song be about Randy commiting suicide(which he didnt) if hes playing the guitar ON the song?

No Picture Crystal Average	#10 by Crystal at Oct 4, 2007 at 11:17 AM EST
	i agree with misty, and this is an awesome song

No Picture Bryant Wanna Be	#11 by Bryant Matthews at Oct 4, 2007 at 3:50 PM EST
	...isn't there room for interpretation? at all? can't a song mean something different to the listener than it did to the writer? =/

No Picture JustiN Professional	#12 by JustiN at Oct 6, 2007 at 7:50 AM EST
	I agree that 'jerk-offs' shouldn't blame Ozzy for the song Suicide Solution and their kid's deaths, but the song does carry an extremely subliminal message besides the death of that AC/DC dude having to do with the promotion of suicide. At approximately 2:09 in the song Ozzy says "get a gun", even though it sounds like "you got it", and then "what?... what?... take the gun and aim" and then another persons voice says "shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot" which is easily mistaken for "choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo" (like the singing of the song's beat). Its not Ozzy's fault that those dumb-ass kids killed themselves, but this song does contain a subliminal message to kill one's self.

No Picture Andrea Average	#13 by Andrea Lauria at Oct 7, 2007 at 3:32 AM EST
	this song isnt about suicide. its about ozzys frien that died of alcohol abuse. apparently teenagers killed themselves because of this song and ozzy got sued. it was all on vh1s behind the music ozzy osbourne ....yeah you can tell im obsessed. oh well its a great song!

No Picture †§ean† Average	#14 by †§ean† at Oct 7, 2007 at 9:52 AM EST
	Another great song of Ozzys.... This song is about suicide (duh) Don't you know what it's really about? I am the reaper;)

No Picture micheal Lead Player	#15 by micheal mceachern at Oct 7, 2007 at 1:45 PM EST
	The song is about suicide - simply a slower, more degrading form. 'Suicide Solution' is about alcoholism, which is, unarguably, a slow death, by choice. Also, if you pay attention to the lyrics, they don't condone such a choice, but rather spit upon it, suggesting that people avoid an end like that.

No Picture Braxton Lead Player	#16 by Braxton Overby at Oct 8, 2007 at 2:26 PM EST
	This song isn't about suicide, but the dangers of alcohol, like the song "Alcohol Demon." Also, THERE ARE NO SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES. As for the teenagers that killed themselves, Ozzy was accused because the teenagers were listening to "Suicide Solution" when they were found dead. Like what Ozzy said: "I swear on mu kid's life I never said get the fucking gun." A great song though.

No Picture I BAKE YOU MUFF Average	#17 by I BAKE YOU MUFFIN at Oct 9, 2007 at 2:15 PM EST
	ozzy wrote this song about Bon Scott from AC/DC who drank himself to death and the fuckin homos who sued him were just looking for a scapegoat for their kids death while they probably the cause.

No Picture Jeremy Rhythm Player	#18 by Jeremy Dosser at Oct 11, 2007 at 4:37 PM EST
	first of all BON SCOTT DIDNT COMITT SUICIDE, he did die after very heavy nights drinking, but if he had committed suicide he would have purposefully choked on his own vomit while passed put, which would be pretty hard to do seein as he was FUCKIN PASSED OUT this song's drinking references would fit bons lifestyle completely as he was a heavy drinker, jowever i dont know the actual meaning is

No Picture taris Average	#19 by taris leoncho at Oct 13, 2007 at 1:06 AM EST
	Who gives a fuck if songs have subliminal messages? It's not like planting hidden messages in print, TV and songs does anything. SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES DO NOT WORK. Ok? From what I heard in England(where Ozzys from for any 12 year olds who didn't know), the idea of blaming a song for someones death is laughable. Sometime I think the English have more sanity than Americans but not always.

No Picture jimmy Lead Player	#20 by jimmy matthews at Oct 14, 2007 at 8:11 AM EST
	I thought the song was written about Randy Rhodes and how he killed himself because he couldn't kick his drinking habit. If i'm wrong, oh well. All I know is that the song does not condone suicide but rather was describing what happened to a friend of his. I too thought it was stupid that those jerk-offs sued ozzy.

No Picture ` niki * Average	#21 by ` niki * at Oct 14, 2007 at 11:55 AM EST
	It's about Bon Scott. Ozzy said it himself in Behind the Music
