didn't know that LD. you must have your ear to the floor to hear even the littlest ant walk when it comes to the Ozzman. damn woman! very cool.
my 2 cents...i think he's a great player too, very talented. but the makeup and bucket, wow. pretty stupid looking. just being honest here.
and, chemistry is everything. i think Ozzy would know what works and what doesn't for himself. and if that is the case, sad as it may be for wishers, then that is what it is.
The best fit I seen with buckethead and an established band was when he did his thing with primus on the road. It was amazing, and it worked well....

I agree that buckethead is an amazing player but as far as I remember Ozzy was saying that he tried him once and before they even got anywhere they were into playing mindgames. Meaning that Ozzy needs not only a great player but someone he feels comfortable with and is able to write songs with. No insult to buckethead but I think thats the way Ozzy does his disicions which all have been allright for me and I'm looking forward to anyting he brings on the table the next years.
i dont care how much everyone likes zakk wylde or more recently Gus G i think that buckethead is a perfect fit for ozzy. this is because ozzy needs to bring back his reputation of an abstract madman and buckethead is a very wierd person. also, ozzy has already said that hes an amazing player but he wont play with him cause he wont take off the bucket. Ozzy needs to make an album with this guy and go on tour i know all ozzy fans will love him and his amazing guitar playing
