I'm a bit behind the times. I didn't even know Zakk was still with Ozzy. It'll be interesting to see who the new guitarist is though.

BTW, Ozzy, I'm not doing anything at the mo!! :lol:

He mentioned the guy who plays for Marylin Manson... :P

PH@IL

Yeah I hope he doesn't go for him.

Yeah, not particularly fond of John 5 either.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've died a little on the inside, and by a little, I mean physical death is probably soon to come.

I dunno, John 5 is a phenominal player, GIT graduate, and he's very much constrained in MM musically....I'd love to really hear him in a gig where guitar gymnastics is a requirement, and the guy can wail!!

I have not been a big fan of Zakk for a while now...when he was young and hungry, he was an animal filling in the spot left by Jake E Lee and others, and lets face it, long blonde hair, a Les Paul Custom he was immediately compared to Randy and mocked in the early days...

I wish Zakk well, don't get me wrong, and BLS will surely go on now...but it will be nice to hear some fresh ideas from Ozzy....he's getting old and not expected to really play/perform/record much longer...he has to be in his 60's and the man's abused his body for decades lol......

Personally i hope Ozzy picks me.

Man now the guitar solos might not be as good as the guitarist Ozzy worked with.Tony,Rhoads, now Wylde. Wylde was on ozzy's last album.

Ozzy usually picks a reletively unknown player to fill the guitar spot. I hope he continues with this trend.

I wish he'd never parted ways with Jake E. Lee. Jake was one badass dude. Bark at the Moon solo remains one of my favourite rock/metal solos of all time.
