    Ozzy on the hunt for a new guitar player

    OZZY Seeks New Guitarist: I Felt Like My Stuff Was Beginning To Sound Like BLACK LABEL SOCIETY - July 10, 2009

    Ozzy Osbourne has revealed to Classic Rock magazine that he is currently searching for a new guitarist for his solo band.

    Classic Rock caught up with Osbourne last week at the Slash & Friends gig in Norway, where the whispers backstage had guitarist John 5 (ROB ZOMBIE, ex-MARILYN MANSON) lined up as a possible replacement for Zakk Wylde…

    "Well, I'm getting a new guitar player as we speak," Ozzy told Classic Rock, "and everyone has been saying to me for a long time, 'Get Johnny 5!' And I tried him at one time and I didn't really give him a chance. We'll see, I don't know. I haven't fallen out with Zakk, but Zakk's got his own band, and I felt like my stuff was beginning to sound like BLACK LABEL SOCIETY. I just felt like I wanted a change, y'know?

    "I've got a guy from Greece coming in — not the musical, the country of Greece — but I'm not going to say too much about it, 'cos I don't know myself at this point. I've got a new album, I'm working on it as we speak. I've got a studio at my house and I've got a guy called Kevin Churko, the guy that did the last album [Churko also worked on Ozzy's 'Under Cover' album, produced CHEAP TRICK's highly rated 2006 album 'Rockford', and has credits on releases by BRITNEY SPEARS, CELINE DION and SHANIA TWAIN] — he's great to work with.

    "And it's great to have your own studio. On one hand it's great and on the other it's not, 'cos when you're at the studio you can go, 'Sorry darling, I can't get home for dinner, I'm stuck at the studio…' But she can fucking come down stairs now! But I'm just enjoying my life now…"

    Classic Rock: So you're taking it easy recording this album?

    Ozzy: "Oh yeah. Zakk came down and did a bunch of stuff and I don't know if I want to use it but I've got it there if I do. And this Kevin Churko is a bit of an all-rounder so I'm getting back to basics in some respects. One thing about a guy who can't do all the finger-tapping stuff is that he plays better on the riffs cos it's not all [hums riff for 'Iron Man' followed by over-the-top widdling]."

    Classic Rock: Does HEAVEN & HELL having a new album out make you more competitive?

    Ozzy: "No. Not in the slightest. I really wish them well. I mean I've been out of that band three times longer than I was ever in them. But people say, 'What do you think about Dio?' He's great singer. I've grown up since the days when I used to get pissed and slag him off. For whatever it's worth, good luck to them. I don't want to make enemies — I made enough when I was drinking, I try to make friends with people these days!"

    Who's a bigger guitar whore... Slash or John 5?
    I guess Slash gets the edge, but it's close.

    Black Rain sounded like Black Label Society? Give me a break! Ozzy is more out if his mind than i thought he was. That must be the official Sharon press release statement about why he is getting a new guitarist -ie- lets don't tell anyone we don't want to have to pay Zak Wylde type money anymore.
    *
    Does this mean they are going to go back and wipe Zak's tracks off of No Rest For the Wicked forward and re-record them so they don't have to pay any future royalties?
    *
    Holy shit this pisses me off.

    Good move for Ozzy.

    A GRATE move would be to hunt for a new lead singer.

    Cheers! :bottle:

    Ozzy says "I don't want to make enemies — I made enough when I was drinking, I try to make friends with people these days!"
    I suppose it's in the spirit of friendliness and Goodwill that he's trying to fleece Tony Iommi. What a Cunt

    Another thing Ozzy.
    If you had some talent you could write your own albums instead of having them written for you and just slapping your name on. Then you wouldn't have to worry about them sounding like "Black Label Society"... Or "Blizzard of Ozz", or "Diary of a Madman" for that matter...

    Yeah, poor Randy is in a hell of his own. Countless hack guitarists flock to his grave to stumble their way through a hatchet job of Crazy Train while standing in front of his shrine.

    Sad to say, but any guitarist worth their salt in terms of songwriting and technical abilities with even the slightest bit of ambition would just be wasting their time hooking up with a has-been Osbourne.

    Now I realize that studio musicians will sometimes work with anybody who offers the cash, but seriously, isn't there really something wrong with OZZY FUCKING OSBOURNE using the same guitarist as Titney Spears and Celine Dion??

    Churko is a producer, not a guitarist...

    But that supposed Ozzy interview reads more like a Sesh post than anything I can imagine Ozzy saying...I doubt he's heard any Black Label Society, ever...

    I'll fuckin' fix this...

    Ozzy Osbourne and Yngwie Malmsteen.

    Ozzy and Yngwie are rehearsing shit...Sharon walks in the room...Yngwie and Sharon lay eyes on each other...and the ensuing chemical detonation caused by their clashing egos obliterates the entire recording studio, blasting it's atoms into another dimension, thus ending Ozzy Osbourne's career before he can record yet ANOTHER shitty album demonstrating how OVER it actually is.

    See? Bueno Bob can fuckin' fix anything.

    I've said that many times, but it's too late...Ozzy can't sing anymore...

    Ozzy is finished. His next album will hardly outsell DLR Band...

    I've thought the same thing about Brian Johnson for 15 years. But dang if they didn't just hit a grand slam with that last album & tour. Maybe Ozzy can pull one more out of his ass. Who knows. I'd love to see it, but wouldn't bet any money on it.

    Oz should have made an album with Sabbath around 2000...

    He could sing at that time and Tony wanted to do it. Ozzy said no...or Sharon...

    Sharon probably said, "Let them eat cake."

    Ozzy should just fade away...

    I'd love for him to sign off with a good album, but that's not possible...

    For him to consider changing his guitar player at this point would be career suicide...

    Zakk has stood by Ozzy for YEARS! He's a fine player and a big part of Ozzy Osbourne!

    They did. Well, half of one anyway. They couldn't finish it. Tony said Ozzy just let it peter out.
    Since Sharon doesn't own Sabbath, it wasn't in her interest to help Iommi by letting Ozzy do a Sabbath record. (It was OK for Iommi to help HER make a buck by Having Sabbath do Ozzfest half a dozen times though)

    If she successfully sues Iommi for half of the rights to the Black Sabbath Brand I'll bet Ozzy will suddenly be gung ho for another reunion and Album.

    Yes. But Zakk is also a big reason I will no longer pay to hear or see him. I know there are others on my side too. Which side is the larger? Therein lies the gamble.

    That is pretty shitty to find out in the press after all these years. Nothing is official yet according to the Zakk camp(official website), but we'll see shortly. Most think it was just a Sharon press release with made up Ozzy quotes.

    Also don't forget, Sharon did this a few years ago, but they couldn't find anyone. Zakk was back in the fold.

    Some also say that Zakk may need some rehab and a break might do him good.


    But, BLS is doing a 2nd tour this year so Zakk has plenty to do this summer.

    ++++

    Ozzy should just retire IMO.

    What is this some sort of cry for bucket to suck-it? Why would OZ need to TMZ his needs?

    Ozzy can't write anything,

    Zakk is a spent force, stayed in the game too long and is no longer creative or inspiring.

    Ozzy fucked up his best chance of retiring as a rock god years ago when he fucked the Sabbath album over for that stupid MTV show.

    He went from icon to idiot in a heartbeat.

    Shame.
