seriously though i would not want to mess with that womabt it looks vicious

I didn't know what a wombat looked like before I saw this pic... The first impression was really bad...

Ozzy is just looking for an excuse to b*tch if you ask me. He is living on past laurels and trying to stay relavent in today's pop culture. Sure people who don't buy any music are hurting album sales, but you would think that with his past popularity, his TV show, and yearly Ozzfests that he would have been more financially careful. It is easy to blame downloaders than to just admit that your new material doesn't hold water to your old.

Is the Metal God a kind of Metallica?

Wombats are METAL!!

"Black Rain" has already GONE GOLD guys!!! The album IS selling!!!!!!

Didn't anyone read my post? It is the FACTS!!!

Wait til heaven and hell releases their new cd and then see if ozzy sells any more cds...

What I find really amusing is the fan base ozzy is trying to attract (the kids) these days are the ones most likely to download the music and his older following of fans are more likely to buy the music.

i don't think, that compare OZZ with H&H is right way.
nor selling albums... not the same.

Ozzy's sales bad??? What? The album "Black Rain" has already went gold. What - is he expecting a platinum album like "No More Tears"? The album is well on the way of going platinum. It's already GONE GOLD in a few months!!!



This is taken from Wikipedia:

..........................................................................

Black Rain debuted at #3 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling about 152,000 copies in its first week; making it Osbourne's highest debut to date. As of September 29, 2007, the album has sold 406,053 copies in the US, and has been declared Gold

............................................................................


So, this is a bit baffling to me. A gold album is quite successful. This makes no sense. Are you sure the source of this article is valid?

Why does OZZY smurfette then??? Very strange.

'Cause he's old and senile

Just doin' my job.

It sort of pisses me off really. I mean - Ozzy and Sharon should be happy the album has gone gold. That's just lame IMO.

yeah i thought it had done well but today no album sells millions of copies

While I don't see this ever happening, I'd like to see Ozzy dump Zakk and make a pure metal album with a new shredder. While I like Zakk and his work both with Oz and as a solo artist, it seems as though Zakk wants Ozzy to make a great Sabbath-sounding album. Zakk, you're no Tony. Leave the Sabbath riffs to the master. The thing that made Ozzy's solo work stand out, besides great guitarists, is that they didn't sound like Sabbath songs. Ozzy with Sabbath is very different sounding than Ozzy solo. They was no confusing Iron Man with Bark at the Moon.

Again, probably never gonna happen, short of Zakk's liver exploding and Ozzy forced to find a replacement, but it's an interesting thought.
