Ozzy replacing Zakk Wylde..and for a good reason.

He says his band is starting to sound too much like BLS.
He is right, Zakk just has that kind of style and sound that is instantly recognizable. I think its a good move for Ozzy to find someone else.
He is thinking of John 5 which would be a perfect fit!

Ahh that's sweet.I hope John 5's been pumpin iron,cause it ain't easy proppin Ozzy up.Fuck it,maybe we can get two BLS albums a year,cool.Ozzy is correct.His last few records have sounded like Black Label.With one exception....the dude in BLS can sing.

Zakk's style has been getting stale. Chug-chug-pick harmonic. Chug-chug-pick harmonic. It was awesome in '89, but...

Did anyone know that John 5 played for Martina McBride (country star)?--->JMS

John5 has played with alot of people. Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, David Lee Roth, and Rob Halford to name some more. He does studio and live work for people. He is a damn good guitarist. I think Ozzy should pick him! That would suck for Rob Zombie though, he allready lost one player to Ozzy before.

Its about fucking time!!!! How many pinched harmonics can you put in one song? It got real old real fast, and is probably be the best move OZZY has made in years.

Boy you hit the nail on the head about the pinch harmonics, Paul.

Out of spite and just plain goofiness, I'd like to compose something made up of nothing but "squealies" and call it "Zakkified"...sorta like Paul Gilbert's "Scarified."
Please don't get wrong, you lovers of Ozzy and BLS. I like Zakk...always admired his playing. It would just be sooooooo much fun to try.

I'd like to hear some fresh Ozzy...

Being a Zakk with BLS fan, I'm curious of how many "haters" would ride his dick if he ever came to Claudio's...like that would EVER happen.

Sounds like the first half of Blood Stained Bed Sheet Burden by It Dies Today. (Killer tune, BTW)

Ozzy should replace his whole band with Black Sabbath, put out an album, then bite his own head off and die.
