He should do what Badguy suggested-he should use ROY Z once the new Halford album is finished.

What ever happened with Jerry Cantrell being the new guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne? Or was that just for the 4 disc box set?

Hell, Iron Maiden would make mincemeat out of damn near any band on Earth these days.

Now THERE is a successful band, when they can still tour, draw large crowds, and all without the benefit of the lame, faggot, cocksucking Program Directed radio stations playing any of their stuff....

Ozzy needs to give it up.

The last 2 times I saw Black Sabbath (1999, 2004) I was very impressed.

He did very well vocally.

But he never had a durable voice, and most times I saw him solo in the 80s and early 90s he sounded like shit.

I think Dio should get back with Black sabbath.
Seriously, who wouldn't want to here some Heaven and Hell tracks?
As well as Ozzy's solo songs..

If Black sabbath makes new material with Oz...fine..
But otherwise, he's just limiting his set list for nostolgic values.

in an interview recently, Ozzy said that Buckethead was a very good choice, but then said 'but he's too weird'.

Buckethead too weird for Ozzy!!!

In related news, this from Zakk Wylde's management...

"Despite the "help wanted" ad posted at OZZY OSBOURNE's official website which states he's looking for a guitar player, ZAKK WYLDE's management told Billboard.com today that "Zakk will play with Ozzy until they are both in the grave." A spokesperson for Osbourne wouldn't reveal whether Ozzy's in need of a lead or rhythm guitarist.



As previously reported, those looking for a guitar gig with Ozzy can send a package showcasing their guitar skills to: Ozzy Osbourne Guitar Player, P.O. Box 5249, Beverly Hills, CA 90209."

As far as Ronnie Dio rehitting the Sabbath gig, I couldn't possibly agree more. So much material could still be done with Ronnie at the helm...I could see AT LEAST another 2 good albums worth of studio material out of Ronnie, Tony, Geezer and Vinny (probably wouldn't be Bill, if Ozzy's gone, Bill's gone too, no doubt...and I wouldn't put it past Geezer to bolt, either, but fuck the both of them for all I care).

Ronnie and Tony just work WELL together. Period. Furthermore, Ronnie's got a voice left, which is, of course, an advantage in a lead singer.

Moreover, Ronnie's expressed interest in working with Tony again, be it a Sabbath deal or some kind of side project.

Based on how crappy Glenn Hughs is on Tony's newest solo album, and yet how outstanding Tony Iommi still is as a guitarist, I think the time is right and would LOVE to see it.

I don't even give a shit anymore, I'll say it - Ronnie and Tony were BORN to work together. Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules and Dehumanizer were fucking brilliant albums, three of the best that Ronnie or Tony ever recorded with any lineup.

BLACK SABBATH frontman Ozzy Osbourne announced earlier in the week that he is searching for a guitar player to collaborate with on his next solo album.

Even though he's made records with guitar legends including Tony Iommi, the late Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, and Zakk Wylde, Osbourne told Launch Radio Networks that he doesn't go looking for the flashiest player he can find. "When I audition guitar players, I go, 'I don't want to know how fast you can play, I don't want to know if you can stand on your head and play it through your butt, or whatever $B!=(B just give me a riff that'll make a kid want to go out and buy a guitar,'" Ozzy said. "Simple, but effective $B!=(B how (much) more simple can you get than (the KINKS song) 'You Really Got Me'? Just go (sings opening guitar part)."

No time frame has been announced for Osbourne to make a new album, and there's conflicting information about when it might happen. An official statement says that Osbourne and his wife and manager Sharon are either planning a BLACK SABBATH tour of Canada for early 2006, while the British tabloid The Sun quotes Sharon as saying the couple is getting ready for a two-year break from the music business, during which they'll spend some time in New Zealand.

I don't get it, I think that Zakk owes Ozzy his career, hell BLS wasn't even a forethought back in the 80s does anyone remember Pride & Glory, wow I do and it was different. I think that Zakk and Ozzy are together until the end, and BLS' new album Skullage rocks!

The advert should read.


Ozzy Osbourne is looking for a guitar player to write his next studio album for him. Please note that if you happen to write anything good it will be stolen by Gastric Band Witch Limited.

True dat.

There was a rumour recently that Sharon was going to call Jake E. Lee to return and record a new album with Oz.

I'd say that's BS, but it would be interesting to see if anything comes out of it.

It would be a good opp for Jake to team up with Ozzy again, I would go see that live.
Ozzy needs some rejuvinating though....
