Read this, and then tell me that zakk is SO right its not funny, i just want to know im not the only one who thinks ozzy has lost all his brain cells to drugs and alcohol. I cant BELIEVE he even has to be convinced of this......... I think that the metallica disease is spreading.......
In Zakk Wylde news, he and his Black Label Society band are touring with Ozzfest, on the backs of their new Alcohol Fueled Brewtality Live!! + 5 2CD set, out now on Spitfire, featuring a wild acoustic version of Snowblind and the bands behemoth rendition of No More Tears. And slowly, between the cracks, he and his chapter are working on the next Black Label album. But of course, Zakks other big concern is writing and recording for the next Ozzy Osbourne album (due out in October), a record he will be touring as well. Stone Cold Steve Austin is also getting the benefit of the Zakk attack, something Wylde was working on in between interviews.
Heres Zakk on the progress of the new Ozzy. I usually, as a rule, edit out 2/5 of the fuckins and 3/7s of the fuckings, but Zakks particular parlance has been left intact for the following update. His poetic delivery really gets the urgency of the situation across. Who will Ozzy listen to? Which Oz shoulder does Zakk hover above? Pitchfork or wings? Bat or dove? Halloween album or Christmas album? Pictures at eleven.
"You know, there's nothing wrong with us putting Mama I'm Coming Home's and shit like that on there, but at the same time I was telling Oz, the goal should be to try and beat No More Tears. But I mean, that album was ten yeas ago. So I told Oz, that thing is the benchmark; this should be a heavy record but it should still have the Mama's on it. But looking at the Ozzfest, I was telling Oz, kids want to hear some fucking heavy stuff. It should be like 'damn, you should hear the new Ozzy stuff!' You know what I mean? It shouldn't be like 'oh yeah, I heard the new Ozzy record, whatever.' What's the fucking point in doing it then, you know? Ozzy has sung on about seven tracks right now. Lemmy does a lot of the lyrics. And I've got a bunch of fucking heavy stuff I've been working on. But it's heavy, so hopefully it will all make the fucking album."
Who are the other people involved?
"I think Dave Grohl wrote a tune for it. But it's a big business thing too. I mean, I remember that they were fucking trying to get that fucking motherfucker from The Offspring to write a fucking track and I said you are fucking out of your fucking... what, are they handing crack around this place?! A guy from the fucking Offsping?! That guy wouldn't know a heavy riff if it landed on him. And they're like (in a weasel voice) 'well, you know, they sold laaatsa raaacords.' It's like, I don't give a fuck! You know, fucking Backstreet Boys are selling more records than anybody. What are we going to do? Put one of their fucking songs on the record!? Get the fuck out of here. It's like, you can go up and perform that shit, you know what I mean? You'll be able to play it once, and you'll get a fucking broken bottle over your head, and you'll be in a fucking cast. It ain't gonna be my ass up there."
So that begs the million dollar question: is it sounding heavy?
"Well, I'm trying my fucking damndest. I mean, obviously some of these other ones, you know, some of them might not make the record. Some of them might, you know what I mean? But I'm trying to do everything I fucking can to make them fucking heavy. And I've been explaining to the producer Tim Palmer, dude, we can't be fucking making a cheese fluff fucking album. You know, if I gotta make a fucking Aerosmith record, fucking shoot me now. You what I mean? And it's like, 'well, they're selling lots of records.' You know what, though? Who fucking cares?! They suck!! I'd rather fucking... you know (sighs)... its just like fucking, have something you're proud of, man, not that fucking piece of shit."
