[Mods, feels free to move this thread if it belongs in the DVD section or something.]
I never saw Freaks and Geeks in its all-too-brief run on TV, but became a huge fan of the show on DVD. I know that its release was delayed, like too many TV series' by music-licensing issues, until Shout Factory stepped up. I also know that when a song featured in a TV episode can't be used in the DVD release, a generic soundalike is used (WKRP in Cincinatti suffers badly, for obvious reasons).
Getting around to my question. On the episode where Seth Rogen's character finds out his girlfriend is a hermaphrodite, and then questions his own sexuality, he tests himself by listening to different music genres. He puts on a metal song that sounds an awful lot like Ozzy's "Crazy Train" but isn't. Was the song indeed "Crazy Train" originally, and they weren't able to license it for the DVD? It really stands out among the other authentic period music on the show.
