First of all:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Second of all:
I just stepped out to grab some lunch (and no one tried to shoot me!), and when I returned to the mansion, my inbox was flooded with readers e-mailing to tell me about the following tweets from one Mr. Zakk Wylde:
I’m doing Blizzcon with him in August and supposed to finish up the cd in September….this is news to me about 4 hours ago from web
I haven’t heard anything about this. Until I talk to the Boss I don’t know. I love Ozzy.about 4 hours ago from web
We don’t have a lot of close ties to the Ozzy camp (Gee, I wonder why?), but I did do some snooping and I can 110% promise you that, yes, Ozzy is auditioning at least one guitar player. And I have to imagine there are others. So, in conclusion, looks like Ozzy and Sharon did the menschy thing here and let Zakk find out that he’s fired with the rest of us. Nice work, Osbournes.
-AR
i don’t blame them. just look at the guy. would YOU want to fire him face to face.
True. He’s a big dude. He may even punch a hole on Axl Douchenberg’s post hippy fuckface if he reads this… but that would suck ‘casue the world of Dungeons and Dragons would lose their grand wizzard of dorkness, the leader of bullettinboard warriors too frail to leave the shadow of mommy’s skirt. What would we do without you hate spitting master? Uncle Bob hurt you when you went “hunting” with him, didn’t he?! Don’t worry what happened in the woods remains your secret. We follow you, just point at anyone talented to hate! We will hate him with you!
And in comes Buckethead
Ozzy already auditioned buckethead. he wanted him to take the bucket off of his head. obviously things didn’t work out.
Yep I know, but hell I wouldn’t take the bucket off for Ozzy either
ozzy doesnt take the bucket off sharon either.
OH SNAP
With or without Zakk Ozzy is finished. Sharon is running the strings on the whole Osbourne name and shes just milking what is left of Ozzy dry. If he could still write his own songs he wouldn’t need the rest of the band to hold him up.
New flash!….Ozzy NEVER wrote his own songs.
The fact that Zakk has to find out through other people kind of makes me feel bad for him. He can be a douche at times, but he loves Ozzy and it must have hurt him pretty badly.
What in the fuck is a “Tweet” ???
Twitter… You have to learn to live in a modern world!
I am connected to the interwebs, so I’m modern enough. Tweeting?? Seriously? Never heard of it. Thats probably because Im heterosexual though.
Mostly because it is one of the most stupidest, annoying and useless forms of “communication” conceived so far. But I have faith to the idiocy of people to endorse something even more moronic (maybe inflatable bbq’s or oreo pizzas?) .
I know you can’t see or hea rme doing it because this is the internets and all, but rest assured upon reading the above Wyldeian bewilderment I am pointing at his picture and laughing my goofy blond head right off.
Funny. Harsh, but funny.
Zakk is the Man…
Ozzy is a retard…
Sharon is a stupid bitch…
BLS Owns!
Nuff said!

Ha.
jerker-o-chicken is confused, dont mind him!
Wow. You said “nuff said” so I guess that MUST settle it then.
This is completely unrelated, but I just saw an advert on this blog over on the left for a ‘Free Bible CD’. HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Going to something like Blizzcon means your career in anything metal is pretty much done.
Hello and welcome Gus G…
I totally think your dead on with Gus G, because on Metal Injection Ozzy said he was getting a guitarist from Greece (the country, not the musical…lol) They’ve met before at Ozzfest in 2005 when he was Playing for Arch Enemy as a temporary replacement for Christopher Amott.
even better is the “official Black Sabbath Affliction T-shirt”….gah,..fucking kill me now!
I heard that SharOzzy have been looking to replace Zakk for over a year now- I guess they were having issues with his drinking, etc.?
if thats true then its exactly how Ozzy got kicked out of Sabbath
someone probably told him but he was too drunk too remember
man…
blizzard/diary rerecordings = strike 1
sabbath lawsuit = strike 2
this = strike 3
I have no more dap for ozzy.
as if he can’t live without it.
Zakk has been a one trick pony for years. If Ozzy wants to make another good album again, he needs some fresh blood. I hope he picks up John 5.
Ozzy’s made a good album?
If this turns out to be true, I hope Ozzy will give some unknown talent a shot at the job, as opposed to hiring on one of the many floating guitar players out there.
Remember Joe Holmes? Or whatever the fuck his name was.
Sharon can get fucked, Ozzy, I’ve lost all respect for him, Zakk has put forth over 20 years of service to the fuckers and this is how he is repaid? Cant even tell him to his face that he’s fired? Shit, Get fucked
But he was paid, like everytime he played any of those shitty songs. Not to mention Ozzy’s penchant for breaking new guitarists. RR, Jake E Lee…OK he hasn’t broke anyone in awhile, but Wilde has easily benefitted from their association. Dudes are being naive, thinking that such petty notions like loyalty and friendship would factor into the equation at this high level. At this point it’s all money.
Thus, the reason why there will never be an album like his first two solo albums. Especially, with this producer/engineer he’s raving on about that’s worked with fucking Shania Twain? Unfortunately, it’s been about money for way TOO long with this fucking guy. Those fucking shitty Ozzfests [let's not talk about that crappy Black Sabbath reunion just to be a greatest hits show]
Ozzy is about as relevant to Metal as “Saved by the Bell” is to HDTV….
HA! Everybody sing along…”No More Tours”
This just gives Zakk more time to prepare for the Pantera tour.
blasphemy
Yeah i heard Ozzy found out about being kicked out of Sabbath on the internet too…..
Ozzy was trolling the ARPAnet?
+1
nice!!!
Maybe it’s good for them both. The last few Ozzy and BLS albums were horrendous. Zakk was the best on Book of Shadows and Pride & Glory.
I agree. I like BLS a lot, but the last album was trash. I liked Mafia and they kicked ass live when I saw them a few years ago. I can’t defend the last effort though. Shot to Hell was total shit.
It sucks Ozzy fired Zakk by telling everyone else first, but it’s for the best. Ozzy will never make good music again and Zakk needs to make a great BLS album next time or he’s finished too.
(Gee, I wonder why?)
I do, Ozzy wanting rights to the band he made, Jesus.
What a fucking prick.
Iommi should be the only person to have any control over the band, as is now.
Fuck man, after all he did everything in the entire band, fucking schleps the rest of them.
Back to reality, and that’s what you sound like.
Shut the fuck up.
Maybe now I can finally learn to like Zakk Wylde. Probably not though.
good for zak he can concentrate more on his music now.
WOW gus g and Ozzy!!!!! IM FOR IT
Who c ares???? Ozzy’s been around forever and will have no problem fillin Zak’s empty gtr spot. Shit, a dead picker could produce similar results, and I’m not knocking Zak’s talents. Studio technology now enables players to be slow, out of tune, or off key. It can all be fixed in the studio w/Pro tools. It might be a bit harder live, but if Ozzy clicks with any player who needs a live gig, Zak won’t be missed a bit!! They said Ozzy was finished when Randy Rhodes died, but it wasn’t even close. Ozzy’s future will forever ride on the strength of Sabbath, some solo tracks, and any smokin’ hot guitarist…….I wonder if Eddie Van Halen’s available?!
Who the hell even cares about Ozzy’s type of Metal these days? Same thing with Gene Simmons and Kiss. It’s all lukewarm, been done better (by Dio and Sabbath), and doesn’t resemble the metal of even 10 yrs. gone.
Gimme Oden Opeth, something Pagan instead. I don’t give a shit if you claim to be the Devil or antichrist. Prove yourself, muthafucka!! Don’t throw anti-xtian words at me, tell me where you stand!! Kill your guitars. Kill your roadies in a ritual sacrifice. Kill your band! Kill your listeners!! Finally, kill yourself already, goddammmit!!
The music’s worthless, as are the lyrics. Just crawl off and die. Take all you’re gtr , bass, keyboards, and drummers with you!! Make a final definitive statement!! Retire or die, Ozzy. You and your bandmates have no place further to go now.
Before you die, sell whatever possible to GM, you slack sonofabitch…………..
C’mon already, Ozzy’s a friggin’ senior citizen, trying hard to remember how metal once sounded. Now his music just sounds like ‘classic rock’, and there’s no darkness or danger attached. The biggest mistake he made was allowing Sharon and the kids to film their life’s for MTV viewers……groundbreaking and money making for sure, but the cred has long since disappeared.
I’d rather hear fusion jazz than Ozzy & Zak together. Put it all to sleep forever, please!!
We all know how bad an Ozzy album w/out Zakk writing it sounds…That piece of shit BLACK RAIN is awful. Why? Because Zakk didn’t write it!
Go ahead Ozzy. Replace Zakk and sell 4 albums. Ozzy and Sharon would fuck their own mothers for a nickel.
I think its stupid for Ozzy to be limited to guitarists who already have established a reputation, even Randy Rhoads in quit diet was not at all what they make it out to be, jut a bunch of wankers, so with that said you can find dozens of guitar players on the internet who burn Gus G and the other rich kids like John 5 born into families with 5 maids, wake up Ozzy, if Ozz is expecting to pay anyone chump change like he did to Randy who never seen a cent or did his family from the millions of records sales then Ozzy better take the chance to find a great guitarists who can give him allot more then cheezy Bucket head or John red neck 5., i can find dozens on youtube alone.
