some new upstart kid called Zakk Wylde or sommat like that.
Yup Ozzy’s search for a new guitar player has been called off.
Ozzy would like to thank everyone who took the time to send in submissions to be his new guitar player. At the time we announced the search, Zakk Wylde’s itinerary with Black Label Society was quite overwhelming. Fortunately, Zakk has now been able to go back and rearrange his schedule to make sure that he would be available to write, record and tour with Ozzy in 2006 and beyond.
Therefore, the search for a new axe man has been called off. We sincerely apologize to all of the talented musicians (and there were lots of them) who were excited by this incredible opportunity and we wish you the best of luck with all of your future musical endeavors. Ozz.com
Bollocks!
So who’s going to compensate me, then, for this wasted week of ‘Crossroads’ riff-rehearsing…?
(Hah! Like I could really play that properly…)
