Maybe it has been mentioned already but Ozzy should snatch up

I think I could dig it.

Ozzy and Slash? ...maybe.
Admittedly, I'm kinda keeping my fingers crossed for George Lynch. It'd be pretty fucking sweet, but I'm also thinking George Lynch of 1988; I haven't paid any attention to him outside of Dokken, so I don't know if he still has the chops or not...Twistin' by the pool.Comment

Bob will work with Sharon...I mean, Ozzy, for the right price...he's done it many times...
But beyond just making a "supergroup", i've always thought that Ozzy would make Yngwie's riffs, soloing and over-the-top "wankery" (as some people like to say) much more palatable to the average fan...
I just always thought it would fit...

Yeah... Yngwie with Ozzy and Daisley back in..
You would have to buy that album !
Curiosity would take over.
I agree that perhaps in the Ozzy environment Yngwie
could work, he is probably the closest to the neo-classical
sound Randy had happening at the time... Good Call ELVIS..
I also like the Slash and Lynch suggestions.....
But yeah, does anyone know if Lynch is still in
the game ?BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!Comment

Agreed. If anybody could follow in the...I don't know "spiritual footsteps" of Randy Rhoads, I suppose it'd have to be Yngwie.
Well the very last thing I ever heard out of him was that he'd quit Dokken (again) and was lost out in the Arizona desert on some kind of 'roid rage or something...which means he's probably doing many, many tribute albums these days...
Somebody fill us in!Twistin' by the pool.Comment

I think Ozzy has told Zakk to save his songs for Black Label before, that's why I think this. When he did Down To Earth in 2001, Ozzy rejected all the songs that Zakk wrote for it and Zakk put them out on a BLS album instead. Zakk seems pretty happy to play whatever Ozzy wants him to play whenever/whatever that may be.
Are you aware that Zakk was out of the band in 95, 98 and 04? They've remained on friendly terms every time. Zakk returning to the band at some point is completely reasonable to believe.
If I'm wrong, I reckon Zakk'll be back soon anyway.
Bob Daisley claims to have written the music, and lyrics to go with them. But vocal melodies, everyone - Zakk, Geezer, Tony, Bill. All three other original Sabbs have said Ozzy came up with all those clever vocal melodies himself, even if he had very little other involvement in creating songs.Listen to those Bob Daisley interviews then post here.
Martin's said they'll get to the States sometime. I hope so, that guy seems such a nice bloke and deserves to get what he wants.You know, on the Black Sabbath note, I'm kinda disappointed that Tony Martin's Headless Cross band (wonder where he got the idea to name his band after a Black Sabbath album?) isn't doing a U.S. tour after all. Would have been nice to see that era played live. Would have been better had Neil Murray and Bobby Rondinelli been involved with him and Geoff, but...
Looking at the touring schedule though, the whole thing seemed bizarre...if their venues would have been any worse, they'd have been playing in K-Mart parking lots...
Were the venues really that small? Shame. Can't be worth paying the flight!
Speaking of Geoff, I see he wrote a song for Ozzy's Down To Earth album. Always felt the way the Osbourne camp treated him was horrible.Comment

Ozzy couldn't afford Slash, and I imagine his take on the Randy-era stuff wouldn't be to everyone's taste.
Dave Navaro would be an interesting choice. John 5 seems a little obvious to me....
It isn't the case that Zakk limits Ozzy's sound - it's vice versa. Zakk can do a lot more than just BLS and Ozzy if he wants to.The Power Of The Riff Compels MeComment

Yeah, I wouldn't dig Slash being in Ozzy's band. I can't see Slash liking to play most of it either. I don't know if he couldn't afford him though. Money doesn't seem to be a huge issue to Slash plus he's not sold THAT many albums since UYI in '91.
Dave Navaro could work. I think you're onto something there. John 5...I don't know about how he'd do on older songs but I can see him writing some interesting things. He's been with Manson in the past too, so he's used to playing 'under' a star - something Slash wouldn't be. If Slash joined, it'd have to be "Ozzy and Slash" really wouldn't it?.
I think since Zakk built up a reputation and got an image, he's narrowed his creativity to fit within that field. I do still think he's amazing, but he's definitely got a more predictable sound than he used to.Comment

Breaking rumors from Blabbermouth...
BLABBERMOUTH.NET has received word from a couple of different sources that 28-year-old Greek guitarist Gus G. (FIREWIND) has been tapped to play with OZZY OSBOURNE at the upcoming BlizzCon convention in Anaheim, California. It should be noted, however, that this information has not yet been corroborated by anyone in the Osbourne camp and should be treated as a rumor only.Twistin' by the pool.Comment

Quick clip of Gus G from Firewind. Looks like he has some chops. But can he write songs?
