Ozzy Talks New Album 2007-01-14 by Jom | 10 Comments | Dan Epstein at Revolver Mag recently sat down with Ozzy Osbourne to discuss the Ozzman's upcoming album. The article will hit stands tomorrow (January 15th), but here are some excerpts:
Ozzy has found the ideal recording studio: the newly sound-proofed guest house behind his Beverly Hills mansion, outfitted with a mixing desk and a ProTools set-up.
When I made records before, I'd have to get up, get in a cab or car, go to the studio, and wait for everyone to turn up. If you're already inspired before you leave for the studio, you're fucked by the time you get there! But now I have the luxury of working in my own home. I can play the music on my own sound system, and I can lie down in my room and watch my flat-screen TV whenever I like.
The new album is said to be much heavier than 2001's Down to Earth.
The ever-eloquent Zakk Wylde chimed this in:
We just went in and jammed out the riffs, just like how they made Back in Black and all the Black Sabbath records. I don't need Bob Rock there to tell me what to do, like that Vagina Monologues band Metallica. When you know where you're going, you don't need to ask for fucking directions! It sounds like classic Ozzy — there's piano ballads, there's an acoustic thing, and then there's the heavy shit. From the beginning, Oz kept saying to me, 'Zakk, we need another No More Tears — we've gotta piss all over that fuckin' record. This thing's gotta be able to hang with Diary of a Madman!
Ozzy's last offering is the following:
I always try to make a great album. It's not like I go in there and go, 'You know what? I've had a great run — I'm gonna do a piece of shit for my next album!' But to be perfectly truthful to you, Down to Earth was just a filler album to me. It did well, and some people liked it, and I loved the ballad on it ["Dreamer"], but this album I put in the same league as No More Tears, Blizzard of Ozz, and Diary of a Madman. It's definitely my influence of Sabbath coming out, here and there. But then again, I would have liked to see Sabbath put out an album like this at this stage of the game.

Hell yeah I'l get this. Sounds so awesome. The way he talks in the last part. But in Ozzy's state, will it be that great? Metallica really gets it...

Wylde getting at Metallica again. Maybe he should take a chill pill......or get sober? lol cue for Hetfield

hang up the spikes you're done.

"Ozzy talks..." is remarkable in itself ;)
| | |
They're talkin a lot of crap about this, I hope its good
| | |
there's piano ballads, there's an acoustic thing, and then there's the heavy shit. Zakk should stop talking.
I don't really like any of Ozzy's solo music, so I'll avoid this.

I will give this a miss!

When you have to start trashing other bands to try to convince people you've still got it, you've lost it . . . maybe you never had it. Zakk Wylde sound like an idiot and we all know what Ozzy sounds like.

I've never heard Ozzy so excited, just because he has a flat screen t.v and a recording studio right beside each other.
