Sharon Osbourne strikes again!

[Seshmeister]

I wonder if they have recorded the second version yet.

The one they will be miming to passing it off as live on TV six or seven times over the next few months.

I used to think they just added some reverb to the album track but last time they had recorded a different guitar track miming to the single.

Just be glad the producer didn't use that dreadful auto-tune device on the vocals. Every other song you hear these days reminds you of a Cher single from over a decade ago.

Just because the effect isn't obvious doesn't always mean it wasn't used, bro...

Yeah, saw that the few times he played "I don't wanna stop" supposedly "live"...was anything but...:ummm:

Oh, I hear ya, believe me. My point was more toward considering the contrived nature of recording today, I'm surprised the gimmick was not used on the single, such as in the chorus: "Let me hear you GO-E-O-E-YO wild...".

[Doctor Dude]

FUCK SHARON OSBOURNE!!!! SHE IS A GODDAMNABLE CUNT!

A-fucking-men.

I went on an alcohol-fueled tirade on the Blabbermouth board last night and got banned for life for posting a similar comment about Sharon.

Sadly I don't remember what I wrote and it's all gone now.

As if 'Scream' wasn't an uninspired enough title, here's the artwork for Ozzy's album:

Take out the wings, the word scream and change the flag to a mic stand and it would be cool...

[binnie]

That's pretty much re-doing it then.....

Saw that...even more underwhelming than the title track...

It really looks like Ozzy is about to be picked up and dropped off a cliff by a huge-assed bald eagle. I saw an episode of CSI recently that documented how the birds would grab a critter within their talons, then fly up a great distance. Once aloft, they'd drop the hapless creature to the bottom of a canyon, effectively cracking it's skull and softening it's body in order to chow down. So in that context, Scream seems to make sense as a title.

It also makes you wonder why Osbourne didn't simply appropriate Munch's picture of the same name. Everyone else has.

Is that Sharon pre plastic surgery on the flag?

[binnie]

Its looks like Ozzy is tying to pluck his lost talent out of thin air.....

[Seshmeister]

My guess is these days he contributes less than 10% to the songwriting. Electronics can just about fix his voice in the studio so it all comes down to the backing band.

Unfortunately for some reason people who don't feel they are part of a band but are just temporary employees usually seem to be very poor at producing good original rock music. Also most people just aren't very good at songwriting in general. If you get a job in the Ozzy band based on your good playing ability there is still no reason that you should be any better at writing songs than the average bar band.

For all those reasons I would be stunned if this album is better than mediocre.

Is he even singing in the studio anymore? Hell, they could just take random sentences from all the previous albums he has sung on, use pitch transposer plugins to make them sing whatever melody required, and boom - new song. No need for Ozzy to ever sing again.
