Ozzy Osbourne 2010 Tour Thead (and other shit...)

[Diamondjimi]

His band looks like a bunch of over-animated Muppets. Gus seems to be part of the new generation of guitarist's where throwing in pinched harmonics every 5th note seems to be the norm.

Gus does a very respectable Rhoads...

Meh...
To my ears he sounds like he just learned it.

Ozzy is coming to the new Orleans Voodoo Fest in October...

[binnie]

That was a decent enough performance - maybe the band will gell as time progresses.....

[Seshmeister]

The only thing that would make me go to another Ozzy show would be if Jake E Lee came back.

For people who saw him back in the day going to see him now would be like watching and listening to a wounded animal.

[Seshmeister]

Until this year, I don't think that Ozzy played 'Shot....' in a looooong time.

I remember many quotes where he said the whole album was complete garbage.

The problem with Shot is that he can't sing the chorus live. It's interesting they've added Killer of Giants but it is let down too by it's chorus.

This is the problem when other people write the melodies to your songs while you lie in a stupor.

They can work their way up to average.

[binnie]

They are better than average - it's not like they're bar band musicians.

Great? Nope, not by a long way. But it's a new band, and it'll take a little time to gell. I'm really not sure why he got rid of Mike Bordin? Maybe his commitments in Faith No More took over?

[Seshmeister]

Fuck gelling in the elephant arse.

1st gig second song motherfucker!

Bob Daisley, who played bass on the first two solo albums by Ozzy Osbourne, says in a new interview with his web site that he has not been contacted about the 30th anniversary editions of those records being released later this year. The tracks played by Daisley and drummer Lee Kerslake on both albums — 1980's "Blizzard Of Ozz" and 1981's "Diary Of A Madman" — were replaced on a previous reissue after Daisley and Kerslake sued Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne over royalties.

Daisley told the web site, "Neither Lee nor I have been contacted, considered or consulted in the decision to re-release the original recordings. I haven't a clue as to what the 'bonus material' might be. As for royalties, we have not been approached for a reconciliation and have been offered and promised nothing."

Ozzy told The Pulse of Radio he was against the idea of replacing the original tracks when he found out about it. "Believe me, it wasn't my doing," he said. "I mean, I didn't know that was being done, 'cause Sharon was fighting all the legal things that were going down at the time. I said, 'What did you do that for?' And she said, 'The only way I could stop everything was if it went to that level.' And I said, 'You know what, whatever the circumstances were, I want the original thing back.' I mean, I wouldn't have done that."

The replacement tracks were played by current METALLICA bassist Robert Trujillo and FAITH NO MORE drummer Mike Bordin.

Daisley says that he and Kerslake were fired because of disagreements with Sharon over a number of things, including refusing to do two shows in one day out of worry that Ozzy would blow out his voice.

Ozzy's latest solo album, "Scream" came out at the end of last month.

In other news, the Associated Press has posted the second part of its recent interview with Ozzy. The BLACK SABBATH frontman talks about "Scream", writing songs and how he keeps it real. Watch the clip below.

If that's true Ozzy is a fucking useless fucking idiot.

If that isn't true Ozzy is a fucking useless fucking idiot.

Firstly it took 8 years for him to do something about it?

Secondly is he now agreeing that his wife is a lying cunt?

Osbourne’s wife and manager, Sharon, explained the re-recordings in a press conference: “Because of Daisley and Kerslake’s abusive and unjust behaviour, Ozzy wanted to remove them from these recordings. We turned a negative into a positive by adding a fresh sound to the original albums.”

As an artist I am sure Ozzy would not have wanted that shit fucked with. It just makes no sense to fuck with classic recordings at all.

[Seshmeister]

An 'artist' is stretching it a bit.

Piss artist maybe.

The whole thing is an insult to the intelligence of the fans, they seem to think we're all retarded and Sharon is so clever manipulating things.

[Dave's Bitch]

That is a heavy set list, I would have liked to have seen hellraiser in there though. I think they should switch Bark and let me hear you scream, That would be such a cool opening. Surprisingly ozzy doesnt sound too bad in that clip up top, he looks like he is having fun anyway. although i couldnt help but smile at him wandering around for a sec then shooting back to his mic stand. I not too crazy about the band though, generic heavily tattooed,crazy lobg hair band. All in all though pretty decent sound

doesnt he look tired though....
