ZAKK WYLDE CALLS OZZY A PUSSY
Thursday, July 30th, 2009 at 10:30am by Axl Rosenberg
Holy shit, what an exciting morning this is turning out to be.
So. As you may recall, Ozzy recently revealed that he was replacing Zakk Wylde, to which Wylde responded, in so many words: “Huh?”
Then, a few days later, Wylde upgraded his “Huh?” to a “It’s all good,” even though everything we’ve heard tells us that it is not all good.
And it isn’t. For the burly man from dirty Jerz is Zakk Denylde no more. He recently called in to a radio station in Eugene fucking Oregon, of all places, and when asked about the whole sitch with the Ozzman, responded thusly:
“I’ve gotta be honest with you. The boss [Ozzy] hasn’t even given me a phone call, so I mean… I’m just like… I don’t know what’s going on over there. Are we doing this thing or are we not doing it? When I keep getting asked these questions, I go, ‘Call the boss. When he tells you, then he can call me back.’ I mean, it’s just like… I love you, man. Whatever you want, that’s cool. But if we’re doing this, let’s do it, and let’s whoop some ass. But if you don’t wanna do it, then just give me a heads-up. Call me, man. Tell me what the hell’s going on. I don’t know what the hell’s going on over there. We’re working on the new record, we’ll be back in September, we’ll work on finishing the record. And then we’re supposed to do the tour. I mean, it’s like, dude, you don’t wanna play with me anymore? Fine. Play with whoever the hell you wanna play with. I couldn’t give a rat’s ass. Like I’m gonna get all jealous or whatever. But you know what?! Man up and give me a phone call and tell me what the hell’s going on. You finished with me? Cool. I mean, it’s just like… Everything’s sounding like Black Label? I guess everything sounded like Black Label when I first started with you, when I was 19. It was still the same guy; I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
If you go here, you can download an mp3 of Zakk’s whole rant, including a pretty funny/sad section, not included above, where he basically just starts cursing out Ozzy. Seriously, Zakk sounds like a scorned lover.
So what does this all mean? As we’ve been saying this whole time, it is the firm belief of MetalSucks that Zakk will no longer be Ozzy’s guitar player.
But beyond that, it just confirms what we already knew, and have known for a long time now: Ozzy is a dick and Sharon is a bitch. Seriously, man. Just break up with your guitar player like a real man. You’re the godfather of his child, fer Chrissakes. Don’t you think you’ve already done enough damage to your legacy?
-AR
I just happened to be listening to “No More Tears” when I came across this. He really is like a scorned lover. It’s kinda adorable.
Is it just me, or does Wylde sound a little drunk?
Zakk is never only a little drunk
Ozzy just needs to throw in the fuckin’ towel. As if suing Tony Iommi wasn’t enough.
That is soo true. Actually perhaps he needs to divorce?
LMAO. Fired. Canned. Tossed aside like a used condom. Zakk should get a clue. He keeps fucking with Sharon and he’ll get his ass kicked too! HAHAHAHA
You would think he would be happy not having to be associated with the current Ozzy. I can’t imagine why anyone would want to be associated with him now.
Both Ozzy and Zakk’s best days are behind them.
I hope this shit doesn’t get dragged out much more because I am already sick of it.
Big time low blow ozzy is a douche
The funniest part is Zakk saying that he’s always sounded like himself. Yeah, “Stoned and Drunk” and “Miracle Man” are almost interchangeable! “Mama I’m Coming Home” and “Suicide Messiah,” they’re almost the same song! Zakk, remember when you were a skinny punk from Jersey with 80’s metal hair and a pretty-boy face? Before you adopted a southern accent and started acting like a cross between Kerry King and Dimebag? Yeah, you’re just the same old Zakk! And you’re not jealous? The first two sentences here seem to negate the last one: “And then we’re supposed to do the tour. I mean, it’s like, dude, you don’t wanna play with me anymore? Fine. Play with whoever the hell you wanna play with. I couldn’t give a rat’s ass. Like I’m gonna get all jealous or whatever.” Face it, Zakk. You are jealous, and you’ll go and talk crap about Ozzy until he re-hires you for his NEXT album, unless he dies first (*cough*like when you talked shit on Ozzy for hiring Dave Grohl to write songs for Down to Earth even though Probot was better than any BLS album ever*cough*)…
Truuuuuuuth. I was talking to a friend of mine once from Queens and he was convinced Zakk was from the south… sorry buddy, that’s just Zakk’s identity crisis getting in the way.
Probot was better than any BLS album
NOT
wow a “not” joke….it’s 1996
Matty get ur shit straight
Can’t Ozzy at least send him a text to break up with him like i do the elderly women i pick up at bars?
That’s not right, man. Elderly women don’t know how to operate cell phones.
That was YOU? You still owe me 5 bucks.
(KIDDING! …Or am I?)
Sorry, I meant Turd F. I’ll get to you later, Gary.
Plainly, “elderly women” (by the Born of Osiris definition) can’t operate computers, either.
If Ozzy ends up in hell, or better yet in purgatory, his punishment will be to be taught history or music theory by Iommi for eternity. I think that would be sweet, sweet redemption for all the shit he’s pulled.
Regardless of what you think of Zakk (or Ozzy), it is pretty fucked up that after all the years of working together; Ozzy hasn’t even called Zakk to let him know that he’s out. Although all signs do point to that. Ozzy has been a has-been for a long time, now he’s just being a selfish dick.
I wasn’t aware that Ozzy had a legacy to damage. Fuck ‘em both. They both blow pretty hard.
Agreed. I used to dig Wylde’s stuff with Ozzy, before he started BLS.
It’s pretty fucked up that Zakk is being such a pussy about this. CALL OZZY, IDIOT, IF HE’S SUCH A GOOD FRIEND!
Ozzy’s not calling back because the bastard’s passed out somewhere, drooling on his blankie, and Sharon is running everything. I really don’t give a shit about either, but Ozzy/Sharon have proven what type of shitbags they are over and over, so Wylde shouldn’t really be surprised. He should know better, actually.
i hate how ozzy goes through guitar players like fucking tissues. I can never get into a band that has a line up change like every year…(megadeth)….anyway im glad zakk doesnt give a fuck, he’s one of the greatest guitar players to ever live and he doesn’t need to be slowed down by a semi-retarded old fart. Throw in the towel ozzy, you used to be great but now its just sad
Zakk has been with Ozzy since 88. Do your math.
Ozzy and Zakk both suck a race horse’s nasty bootyhole and neither of them should ever be heard from again.
“Ozzy is a dick and Sharon is a bitch”
I’ve known the whole Osbourne family for years, and I may not agree with how they handle their business 90% of the time, you have to believe that they are truly nice, warm people in their personal lives.
They may be nice people in person, but this isn’t just a business decision. Zakk and Ozzy have been more than just business associates for a long time. The way he is handling replacing Zakk is not how you would treat your longtime friend. Hell, it isn’t how you should treat someone you’re just doing business with.
Their are a lot of people who are “nice” when they don’t have to make tough choices, but when the rubber hits the road, it seems the Ozzy camp is really only looking out for themselves.
i call bs on that shit
I gotta side with Zakk here. Ozzy’s been a fucking fruitcake for years. Ozzy’s been lucky enough to keep finding amazing guitar players one after another. Do you really think his sound and his music would be what it has been without them? Of course you don’t. His music is completely guitar driven. Throw a run of the mill axeman in there and he’d ultimately be remembered only as the guy that got kicked out of Black Sabbath.
You’re the godfather of his child, fer Chrissakes.
Who cares? His son has like a thousand first names alone.
Isnt that like an obscure metaphor for saying hes the son of the devil?
I side with Zakk on this one. It’s a douchebag move not to tell your employee (and friend?) that you fire him.
But this could turn out well actually. Maybe Zakk will stop impersonating Ozzy and record a kick ass album like Pride and Glory and Book of Shadows. Zakk gets much shit, but he doesn’t really deserve it. He’s a phenomenal guitarist with a great feel for the instrument. Sure recently he has been wayyy to heavy on the pinch harmonics and Sabbath worship, but listen to his work with Derek Sherinian for example…
Fuck Ozzy. I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again….Zakk needs to get together with Derek Sherinian, form a super group and tell Ozzy to piss right off!
Wow, you guys all hate on Zakk Wylde, but there have been metal concerts I’ve seen, where a majority of the crowd had some sort of BLS merchandise…
And story has nothing to do with talent, it’s merely professionalism and musicianship. I’m sure some of you have bands, and how would you feel if you were being replaced without even being told? Hell, it’s not fun, especially if they’re your friends.
They’ve probably already discussed it, and were both just too wacked out to remember it… =P
Ozzy is a shell, he can’t call, he’s not allowed. If Sharon tells him to call he will. Ozzy is just a bad remake of Weekend at Bernie’s 2
It’s all about creating a sound in the studio that Ozzy is passionate to create. Zakk has provided tracks that Ozzy can use if he wants, but it sounds like he’s wanting to step out of the ordinary. and put something new together. When Zakk responded to Ozzy fuck slow, things were going to be loud and fast, maybe that was the point for the pivot for all this. And? Ozzy may have had times where he was comatose from drugs and drinking but this is not one of them. Fuck all of you who have no respect for the man or his talent. Ozzy is a legend.He was not done after Sabbath, he will not be done without Zakk.
All you fucks taking ozzy’s side on this are fucking fools. Ozzy has never been anything without a good guitarist behind him and without one he will continue to decline into obscurity only at a faster rate.
Fuck Ozzy. He’s a scum bag piece of shit. Without Tony Iommi, Randy Rhoads, or Zakk Wylde he’s nothing.
Zakk call Ozzy a pussy……..fitting as a douchebag should recognize a pussy.
ZAKK IS THE MAN .. OAZZY IS CONTROLED BY IS WIFE… SHE IS A LAIR A CUBT ..AFTER RANDY DIED SHE DOES AN INTERVEIW SAYING SHE HAD FUCKED RANDY.. I DOUBT THIS… I KNEW RANDY, HIS BRO,SISTER ,MOM THAT WOULD BE BULL SHIT BUT ZAKK HAS HIS OWN DEAL AND SHARON HAS SAID THINGS LIKE SHE DONT LIKE BERDS SHE LIKE’S THE LOOK OF BOYS GLAM ZAKKS YOUNG LOOK FIRST LOOK THAT OSBOURNES GAVE HIM…. ZAKK WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR OZZ BUT OZZ WILL PASS HIM LIKE AN OVERSIZED TURN IF SHARON GIVES HIM THE CHANCE…. i VE SEEN OZZY LOTS LIVE AND LETS SAY HALF HIS SHIT IS SAMPLED & THE OTHER HALF IS OUTTA KEY….. I THINK EVERY FUCKER ON THIS BOARD SHOULD EMAIL OZZY AND SAY HELL NO … DO SELL OUT ZAKK …. !!!!!! DONT PISS IN YOUR EASTER BASKET OZ!!
Theres no tragity here really. Zakk is too talented to play with Ozzy and his Hollywood douche bag mentality, not to mention his dipship money grubbing wife.
Zakk willl write a new album being as how he’s gonna be home and not on the road. I would predict it will be so angry, so over the fucking top, it may very well be his best to date. The fans of real, non-hollywood pop metal will be able to cut through the bullshit and see if for what it really is. This is what seperates the Slayer fans from the Mudvayne/Slipknot fans.
This is a blessing in disquise. Fuck Sharon and Fuck Ozzy. Perhaps Toni and Zakk can do a duo on a song, haha…
Hating on Zakk…how…original. So Zakk sucks huh? How bout this douchenozzles, if you can do it better, fucking prove it. If not, shut the hell up…
Ozzy shouldve stayed retired….hollywood wannabe
