Ozzy Osbourne is looking for a guitar player to write his next studio album with. All interested parties should send a package showcasing their guitar skills to:

Ozzy Osbourne Guitar Player
P.O. Box 5249
Beverly Hills, CA 90209


How about it Tim \ TO \ Steve etc?? You never know 8)

On a side note, ozzy should just quit, he cant sing anymore, and i cant see him writing anything good again :(

I reckon Tim should do it, after all, he is already in an Ozzy Tribute band and has almost every song down to a T.

I wonder how Zakk Wylde will see this, I think I read a recent quote which said 'all Ozzy has to do is pickup the phone and I'm there', or something to that effect.

Andy!

I've listened to a very recent radio interview a couple of days ago with Ozzy over t'internet and he said how pleased he was about BLS/Zakk's success.

I assume this is the reason for the parting of the ways.

I also doubt there will be any new music & I'd hate to see Oz shaking the greatest hits tree for as long as Kiss. (my fingers are crossed for Paul Stanley's solo album!)

It was almost painful to just listen to him speak, his stutter just makes you so aware of the decline in motor skills.

I'm sure the guy is as sharp mentally as ever but just can't get it out - it's a real pity.

I'd love to see Ozzy genuinely retire and only do the odd "special" show which Zakk could be a part of.

Though I think if the worst happened, Sharon would even employ the services of a taxdermist & embalmer plus another guitarist so she could keep that money train rolling.

I admire the woman in business but she is will do anything for an ongoing media profile even admit to shagging Randy Rhoads 20+ years after the event - now did Ozzy really need to have his nose so publicly rubbed in that?

After Zakk goes - I'm out...   PDT_025

He should just pick up the phone and call Jake E Lee.

Thanx for the compliment, chrisola; my style is really different than the usual Ozzy guitarist.

I think that someone wanting that guitar slot should really think about  it, because if you got the gig, it means writing off a couple years of your life, at the very least. For me, that would mean shelving the band I've worked on so hard to get where it is now ... I'm not anywhere NEAR the Ozzy level of sales and notoriety, but I still wouldn't can my own stuff to join what would basically be a covers band.

Jake never really fit well with Ozzy, which is a shame, because I think he's a brilliant guitarist! I much prefer Badlands to his Ozzy material, tho.

     This hits the nail on the head. Her willingness to exploit her family for money &  media attention is quite disturbing. Good guitarists are easy to find, the hard part is finding one that's a good songwriter.  
     Hopefully there are no guest writers on this next one, Down to Earth had some of the worst lyrics written. Zakk knew the cd was cr@p and went to see the execs at Sony about it, funny article in an old Guitar world.

There's a lot of talk of Ozzy's seemingly impending retierement on some of the rock sites I go to, but let's face it, the only way Ozzy will retire from being a rock god is in a wooden box. He's come very close to that in numerous occaisions in his life, and I don't think it'll stop him now. He just needs to slow down and realise that he isn't in his 30's anymore, he's just got to slow down a bit.

I mean look at all the revered blues legends, like Buddy Guy, BB King, these old guys are showing the younger guys how it's done while they were in their 60's, the only difference is that they have realised that they're not the sprightly youngsters they once were.

Ozzy, look at your schedule, then rip it up and take some time out to relax.

From today's www.bravewords.com:

Quote
Despite the "help wanted" ad posted at OZZY OSBOURNE's official website which states he's looking for a guitar player, ZAKK WYLDE's management told Billboard.com today that "Zakk will play with Ozzy until they are both in the grave." A spokesperson for Osbourne wouldn't reveal whether Ozzy's in need of a lead or rhythm guitarist.

I'd send a tape off if I had the chops, but hey one day maybe? :lol:

Although with regards to Zakk, I think Ozzy's wanting him to do his own thing and is nurturing that because he knows it's important to Zakk, and Zakk can't live in Ozzy's basement forever. :lol:

As for recognizeable people up for the slot, I heard mutterings of Dave Navarro from one place, and that Ozzy had tried Buckethead but he just won't ditch the KFC bucket and silver mask, silly bugger. I think it'd be cool if he found another complete unknown though, that'd rock.

Someone suggested that Sharon might try and make a reality show of it, like one of those pop idol things.... I sure would lose all hope and faith in the universe if that happened!

I think I'd lose all faith and hope if she didn't make a reality show of it!  I mean, the universe I normally live in is the one with Sharon cheesily squeezing every last penny out of everything, and I'd know something had gone wrong if she wasn't .... ;)

I sometimes think the best hope for peace in the Middle East is to have Sharon Osbourne appointed chief negotiator.  Man, if she couldn't scare every party into toeing her line, no one could!  I mean, she made Zakk trim his beard, so everything else oughta be easy ;)

+1

I hope they don't make a show out of the whole thing like that 'battle for Ozzfest' thing on MTV.

I don't have tattoo's (yet), pierced body parts other than my ears and I'm not that good at writing music. I just play mean rhythm guitar and go nuts on stage.

If you think about it, Zakk has been Ozzy's guitarist the best part of 20 years. I remember Zakk without his beard.

If they did a Shred Idol, I suspect that we wouldn't find anybody of Zakk's originality. He was the first rock guitarist (I remember) learning how to play country music. It would be substandard Steve Vai wannabe's rather than somebody who truly suited Ozzy. Metallica's some kind of monster shows the auditions for Jason Newsted's replacement.

he'll go for some unknown player with their own unique style i guess. seems like ozzy always talks of how he tried to avoid rohdes and iommi 'clones' in interviews.

maybe hes looking for new insipration for an album of original material.

Gus G is without a doubt one of the best new guitarists in metal!
Firewind = amazing!
Dream Evil = also amazing!

It would be a real shame to see him 'Ozzyized', imo.
