Enfin...
Il se rend compte qu'il sonne de plus en plus comme BLS.
Esperons qu'il déniche un inconnu de la trempe de Roads plutôt que John 5...



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!"

Video footage of Ozzy performing with former GUNS N' ROSES and current VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash on June 30 at this year's edition of the Quart festival in Kristiansand, Norway can be viewed below. Slash's band also included Jason Bonham (LED ZEPPELIN) on drums, Chris Chaney (JANE'S ADDICTION) on bass, John 5 (ROB ZOMBIE, MARILYN MANSON) on guitar, Franky Perez (SCARS ON BROADWAY) on guitar and Teddy Andreadis (GUNS N' ROSES, ALICE COOPER) on piano/harmonica.

Il est vraiment gonflé
Ou alors, il s'y prend très mal

Ben moi je vote pour John5 !! Ca serait excellent tiens !

Il cherche un nouveau chien aussi non ?

Si ça peut rebooster sa carrière je suis partant et comme Gandalf je dis ... "ENFIN"

Mouais en même temps ... je trouverai un peu injuste de mettre tout sur le compte de Zakk Wylde ....
Je pense qu'il y a eu aussi une volonté de Ozzy au moment de la reformation du Sab de capitaliser sur la reconquete des fans ... d'où cette volonté de sortir des titres assez lourds ... dans tous les sens du terme!
Faut pas oublier que Zakk Wylde c'est aussi No rest for the wicked, No more tears et Ozmosis (mouais celui là, j' avoue) ...
Car souvenons nous que Bark at the moon et The Ultimate Sin, s'ils sont (à mon goût) de tres bons disques, on ne peut pas à proprement parlé appeler ca des chefs d'oeuvre ... et l'arrivée de Wylde a tout chamboulé.
Donc bon, oui c'est vrai que l'influence BLS est notable sur ses dernieres prod ... mais franchement, à quel point Ozzy s'est il investit dans l'écriture de ses propres albums ???
Je pense également que le départ de Wylde ne pourra lui faire que le plus grand bien .... mais je tenais quand même à faire la part des choses.
Et en étant tout à fait honnete ... Ozzy fait partie de ceux qui ne peuvent plus me décevoir, tant je n'en attends plus rien , ni tout seul, ni avec le Sab ... Donc au mieux je ne peux être que ravi !
C'est comme si on m'annoncait que Gene Simmons faisait une carriere solo

D'un autre côté je trouve son dernier album, à défaut d'être excellent, plus intéressant et inspiré que l'album d'Heaven and hell.
Mais c'est vraiment qu'un changement de guitariste c'est plutôt pas mal.

dans tous les cas ça ne peut que lui faire du bien ouaip. Mais bon j'espère qu'il va pas se mettre avec un guitariste de NIN ou Manson non plus...

Heu, John 5 il a un registre largement plus étendu que Manson hein !

C'est certainement l'un des guitaristes Rock les plus versatiles et innovants du moment !

Bon, après il a son look quoi...

T'inquiètes il a aussi fait partie d'un projet de Rob Halford

Ils sont pas fachés Ozzy et Zakk en tous cas, apres leur rencontre/discussion.

Il a du lire un "official statement" préparé par Sharon.
Trop fort, il leur souhaite le meilleur mais il attaque Iommi en justice.

Sinon je rejoins l'avis de Supernuages, je n'attends plus aucun sursaut artistique de la part d'Ozzy, Zakk l'a bien aidé à une époque mais maintenant ça ne peut pas faire de mal de changer. Ah, et un mec qui ne plante pas d'harmoniques toutes les 2 secondes ça ne serait pas de refus, si possible.

Zakk est dépité pour ne pas dire énervé envers Ozzy, d'avoir été jeté comme une vieille chaussette :

On Wednesday, July 29, Carl Sundberg from Eugene, Oregon's 101.5 KFLY radio station conducted a phone interview with Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, OZZY OSBOURNE). When asked about his status in Ozzy's band and recent reports that Osbourne was auditioning other guitarists for his solo group, Zakk said, "I've gotta be honest with you. The boss [Ozzy] hasn't even given me a phone call, so I mean... I'm just like... I don't know what's going on over there. Are we doing this thing or are we not doing it? When I keep getting asked these questions, I go, 'Call the boss. When he tells you, then he can call me back.' I mean, it's just like... I love you, man. Whatever you want, that's cool. But if we're doing this, let's do it, and let's whoop some ass. But if you don't wanna do it, then just give me a heads-up. Call me, man. Tell me what the hell's going on. I don't know what the hell's going on over there. We're working on the new record, we'll be back in September, we'll work on finishing the record. And then we're supposed to do the tour. I mean, it's like, dude, you don't wanna play with me anymore? Fine. Play with whoever the hell you wanna play with. I couldn't give a rat's ass. Like I'm gonna get all jealous or whatever. But you know what?! Man up and give me a phone call and tell me what the hell's going on. You finished with me? Cool. I mean, it's just like... Everything's sounding like BLACK LABEL? [Referring to Ozzy's claim in a recent interview that his solo albums were beginning to sound like BLACK LABEL SOCIETY due to Wylde's involvement with both projects — Ed.] I guess everything sounded like BLACK LABEL when I first started with you, when I was 19. It was still the same guy; I don't know what you're talking about."

J'envoie ma candidature sans attendre!! . Non plus sérieusement, il peut dénicher un très bon gratteux surtout aux U.S.A où l'encadrement pour les activités artistiques et culturelles sont favorables aux musiciens. Ya qu'à voir leurs salles de musique en faculté!

Comme je le comprends Zakk...

C'est clair qu'il peut l'avoir en travers s'il n'a même pas reçu un coup de fil...

Va peut-être falloir qu'il songe à tout arrêter Ozzy...

Après les réenregistrements en douce des premiers albums, le procès à Tony Iommi, ça fait une casserole de plus à son actif.

Pour ne pas dire une grosse boulette!! . On verra bien la suite des évènements, mais à mon humble avis le madman perd complêtement la boule ces derniers temps.
