hey! sorry scape, i dropped the ball with our conversation...honestly plumb forgot we were discussing this.
LD, Ozzy says "Zakk has a rare blood disease..." - that would be reflective of the clots that have gone throughout his system i guess.
Ozzy had already said half of what he said here - i guess this was so that everyone will know that he doesn't wish Zakk badly (doik ... but given the angle the press gave things in their evil need to make dirty laundry, and soap opera climaxes, i can see it was a good move). When will the media go back to reporting objectively what is happening that is newsworthy. i get so disgusted, i don't even pay for television anymore. i rent movies.
and hey, i got an email about concerts that can be live-streamed in - Creed is featured coming up, I think this is going to be HOT. i can't always fly another state away to see someone, but would for damn sure pay half the price to be there to see them on my computer!

Really hon you don't get the association with Rizzo and Rhoads? To me I link Rizzo and Rhoads and Holmes together in the sense that they all play scales like a mofo. Granite Rizzo doesn't do it so much in a neo classical way, but what he does is in many ways very similar. And one liking anyone of them over another I concur is all about taste...

agree with everything except Rizzo. i just don't see the fit honestly. but different takes on different musicians, that's what makes the world go round and records sell.

I am ok with Zakk not being Ozzy's guitarist, don't get me wrong who ever fills Zakk's shoes has a big job ahead of them, but a change sounds good to me. Plus Zakk has BLS, and has well proven he doesn't need Ozzy in order to be in the lime light anymore, in other words BLS have a huge cult following, and they are extremely loyal.
So Zakk will be just fine, and Ozzy will also benefit from the change I think, new blood is sometimes what it takes to get back into the grove and with keeping things fresh and relevant...
Oh and for what its worth I use to talk just like you musicfan1234, that is until I really went and listened to all of BLS, then I changed my mind about Zakk. Don't get me wrong I like yourself go for the guitar players that can & do rip scales out their ass, such as Randy, or Joe did, and another guy to watch for is Marc Rizzo, now this boy can rip it!
Take a peek and see, or better yet hear what the Rizzo can do!

I have said before countless time, Musicians come, Musicians go, BUT you CAN NOT REPLACE THE SINGER!
Ozzy Always likes new blood in the band, and according to the Blizzcom do, he had a new line up, due to the others having prior commitments!
So watch this space as they say and you never know what the Ozzmyster will d next!

zack is awful, Iommi was great he had django influence in his playing, randy was great , he had classical influence in his playing. jake was great , he had a real soulfull blues influence in his playing. zack .... well zack is a power chord playing redneck with no creativity or musicality. chunka.. chunka.. pinch harmonic!

sorry for posting so many times, but i think zakk wylde is perfect fit for ozzy zakk wylde has more control over the guitar than most players i have seen, the dude is f***in a machine man, his picking technique look like it would be sloppy, but he picks all every note clean as f*** and fast crazy and weird picking technique.
seriously gus.g or john 5 doesnt have half the f***in control over the guitar of zakk wylde, pentatonics is zakk's style it doesnt mean he cant play more technical.
Saturday, August 8, 2009 - 00:27
i THINK OZZY SHOULD KEEP ZAKK WYLDE.
Even if ozzy asked rich ward to replace zakk wylde rich would decline.
lol check it out though, that's the dude's website leroy wright who taught zakk wylde on guitar for 2 years.
http://www.leroywright.com/home.html
LOOK lol pic of zakk wylde and leroy wright his teacher LOL

zakk still is a pretty original player though, he doesnt really sound exactly like the dude who taught him.

im gettin ready to go see bls in okc in sept,hopefully get to meet zakk, he doesnt need ozzy hes done very well on his own, ilike ozzy but if its true that he told some rag the news before zakk knew, thats chickens***. zakk named his son after ozzy and worships him , he doesnt deserve that kind of s***,damn thats a stab in the back!!!!

Seriously though it seems to me players who take guitar lessons play with less heart and soul than players like rich ward or dimebag who taught themselves.

dime clinic (talk thing part2)
7:09 guy ask if dimebag guitar took lessons he says he taught himself like rich ward lol.
zakk wylde took lessons for 2 years from this guy named leroy wright zakk has feel but he doesnt play with as much soul as rich or dime.

Rich ward's website it says
Did you ever have any guitar lessons or are you self taught?
Rich Ward Yes, I was self taught. One of my neighbors had a guitar and could play a few chords. He showed me what he knew and I would borrow his guitar for a couple of days at a time to practice those chords. About a year later, I got my first guitar so I could practice everyday. I would take my guitar everywhere I went, even to the movies, even when I had a date with me at the movies. Try it and see the looks you'll get. It may keep you from having a girlfriend, but a least you can say that you can play the solo in Mr. Crowley! Need I say more!Metronome work has been the thing that has helped me the most.

Thats right, its Ozzy rocking and I think its not all about the guitar style but if there will be a good working relationship between Ozzy and whoever it might be.
Heres the classic rock interview again as audio this time. Ozzy really sounds serious.

And heres the rumour about Gus G.

This sounds like it's Ozzy getting down and serious with creating. You know, getting into things. Doing what he wants. Ozzy has been on the road without Zakk before, and he's been in the studio without him. Ozzy's been doing this 30 plus years as a musician ... don't you think the man deserves to produce what he wants with whom he wants to build the sound?
Everyone is too much into the gossip $hit, and no wonder given how the media is reading this (and everything) so black and white - to get everyone in a tizzy up in arms over perogative, you know? Ozzy's paid his dues - give the man a break!
I stand by my opinion - it's Ozzy rocking out, doing his thang, and when he's done he will bring us his next classic material to spin on the player.

Real blues/metal guitarist like dimebag are dead rich ward's about the only true one left.
And everyone's just a shredder dork now, nobody playing with soul anymore.
gus.g=lacks heart/soul/feel to his playing like dimebag or rich ward.
zakk wylde played with more feel than gus.g also.
If you insist a classical guitarist though, alexi laiho probley has the most feel out of all of them.

it sounds like Zakk hasn't heard what Ozzys plan is and just wants his friend to let him know. Maybe Ozzy himself doesn't know yet.
The audio of Zakk's comments are here on this page: http://www.metalsucks.net/2009/07/30/zakk-wylde-calls-out-ozzy/ about 1/2 way down.
in all of it, I'm hanging with Ozzy. i posted some stuff earlier from Zakk where he was kind of brushing off what Ozzy wanted (a slower sound), maybe that is where this is all coming from...Ozzy wanting the focus to be on what he feels led to create in the studio. maybe Zakk has taken things for granted and thinks he knows best what Ozzy's music should be and that constraint was lifted by Ozzy.
in any case, the press is all over all this s***, F_U to those people...it's stupid. if they can dig up dirt they will. sure, it keeps interest in the news for what Ozzy is doing, so it's not all bad, but damn...always wanting to roast everyone alive. then the next day they are acting like they are best friends for the interviews. they've lost RESPECT for musicians, that's for DAMN sure.

.
well, wonder why 2 new topics emerged by brand new posters when 2 already exist. frankly I'm too tired to answer there, cuz it will require too much background to fill in the blanks. needless to say...glad to hear we aren't hysterically thinking the worst of Ozzy, with little faith shown in him as was apparent in wider media realm during this and the last hub-ub.
ROCK ON OZZY!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST AND I LOVE YA!!!! ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL!!!!

I'm not doubting Ozzys musical desicions. I really believe a change might be good now. I'm just happy to hear Ozzy and Zakk are not fighting. Zakk posted this 4 hours ago:
ZakkWyldeBLSHey Berserkers, everything is great with Ozzy/Dad. See you at the Blizzcon convention in Anaheim August 22nd or before with BLS
.
But ones for sure. If thats what Ozzy is thinking about, trying a new guitarist. The album is making very slow progress and we have to wait a little longer.
Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - 23:31
i know this - Zakk is a good man. and his love and affection for Ozzy are tangible. and for that he will always be my second favorite hero onstage. he is bad@ss on the guitar, big time. and he is sexy as hell too (hubba hubba). Ozzy is THE MOST sexy, but Zakk holds his own.
i don't think this is about "ooooooooooo, someone is pissed off, bla-de-blah-de-blah."
i think this is about artistic freedom. Zakk is busy, sure. yet Ozzy does explain plenty of material Zakk laid down in the studio for the album...maybe this is just Ozzy branching out and wanting to explore some new sounds.
damn, isn't the man entitled to artistic freedom and expression? can't the man fart without someone supposing a nefarious meaning behind it?
i mean, he's f***ing famous, has been a household name for years...his music rocks and has rocked for the past 30 years - HE IS A LEGEND! if he wants to go jungle or jazz or hymnal for goodness sake - why the hell not? he's Ozzy!!!
anything Ozzy does is very cool in my book.
Monday, July 13, 2009 - 08:22
I did a little research and it seems that Zakk didnt know anything about it until the interview came out (not nice, I would say).
This is Zakks comment on his twitter site:
I haven't heard anything about this. Until I talk to the Boss I don't know. I love Ozzy.
4:18 PM Jul 10th from web
.
And this is the comment of Zakks wife from today:
…cont) to Z first? Z meeting with Ozzy tomorrow. Alls good...we're family!
about 21 hours ago from Twittelator
.
Anyway, no decision is made yet and I bet there will be news the following days.
Just heard some news Zakk wylde is being replaced. is this true?
