Ozzy Osbourne names new album....

This new Ozzy album is gonna be awesome!!! No frills heavy metal!!! YEAH!!

BTW both 'Blizzard of Oz and 'Diary of Madman' are going to be reissued and according to Ozzy's website:


Bob Daisley & Lee Kerslake's tracks are being restored!
I don't know the two of them have settled with Ozzy/Sharon, or if they're just bowing to fan pressure, or Ozzy just said "Fuck it - put 'em back on" or what.. But I just heard today that the two albums are being released later this year in "30th Anniversary Editions", with the proper tracks restored

Finally. I hope it's because Ozzy told Sharon to back off.

probably because sharon realized more money can be made this way.

Cynic. But your probably right.

I think that version is about 120% right. Ozzy completists would love to have both versions anyway and the causal fans will buy the original masters because they have been unvailable for a long time now.

I will buy them...

Don't know if i want to get Ozzy's new album... but i do know that i will be getting the Randy Rhoads era reissues!

According to an article in the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine (Issue 1104 - May 13, 2010), Ozzy Osbourne will release a Christmas album, "Black Christmas", late next year, accompanied by a TV special. Ozzy's wife and manager insisted with a laugh that she'd discussed the idea with him, but "he's trying to forget that it actually exists." The article also reveals that Ozzy will release deluxe 30th-anniversary editions of his first two solo albums — "Blizzard Of Ozz" (1980) and "Diary Of A Madman" (1981) — with their original drum and bass tracks restored (unlike the 2002 reissues of these albums, which saw the replacement of the original bass and drum tracks by Osbourne's then-drummer Mike Bordin and -bassist Robert Trujillo).

I'm quite content with my '95 remasters.

Hmmm, will this be like Halford's Winter Songs? Cover a few traditional tunes and throw in an original "Christmassy rock song" or 2?

Same here.

Despite a report last week that Ozzy Osbourne was thinking of playing one or both of his first two solo albums, "Blizzard Of Ozz" and "Diary Of A Madman", in their entirety on his upcoming tour, Ozzy told The Pulse of Radio that he doesn't see that happening. "No," he said. "The production and the pitch in my singing was way off the Richter scale. It would be nice, but if I had known then what I know now, I'd would have probably done it differently. But what I am gonna do, I'm gonna do some different songs like from the SABBATH years, and I'm gonna try and do some different Ozzy songs. I've got so many songs, I'd make a list and it's like four hours long, you know. There's no way I could do that, you know."

At least Ozzy knows his limitations as a vocalist these days.

I love Ozzy a lot, but i have to admit he was never such a talented vocalist.

Cant wait for the new Ozzy, Same day as the new Tom Petty album which also sounds off the hook!!

True. However, that's not the point of Ozzy really. It's all about the "character" of his voice. You can be a great vocalist without necessarily being a great "singer".

It's a shame he seems to loose his voice these days after only a few shows.

Those who had doubts, listen to this

SOUL SUCKER!!

Soul Sucker is not bad, but I prefer Let Me Hear You Scream. I am looking forward to this CD though.

Actually, if Ozzy had first decided to call this album Soul Sucker instead of Soul Sucka, the fans probably would have been cool with the title.

I didn't like Let me Hear You Scream. I prefer this. Ozzy suits slow, sludgy guitars.

Not too shabby. Sounds like something Zakk would have written.
