Ozzy Osbourne Promises Classic, Zakk Wylde Disses Metallica

Ozzy Osbourne and his guitarist Zakk Wylde spoke with Revolver magazine about Ozzy’s new album, which the Black Sabbath frontman promises is “in the same league as ‘No More Tears’, ‘Blizzard of Ozz’, and ‘Diary’.” Meanwhile, Wylde took a stab at Metallica for working with Bob Rock. “We just went in and jammed out the riffs, just like how they made ‘Back in Black’ and all the Sabbath record,” said Wylde. “I don’t need Bob Rock there to tell me what to do, like that ‘Vagina Monologues’ band Metallica. When you know where you’re going, you don’t need to ask for fu**ing directions! It sounds like classic Ozzy — there’s piano ballads, there’s an acoustic thing, and then there’s the heavy sh**. From the beginning, Oz kept saying to me, ‘Zakk, we need another ‘No More Tears’ — we’ve gotta piss all over that fu**in’ record. This thing’s gotta be able to hang with ‘Diary of a Madman’!'” Read more.
