Zakk Wylde Talks About New Ozzy Osbourne Album

A 15-minute audio interview with vocalist Zakk Wylde of Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne conducted by Norway's Metal Express Radio conducted on November 26 in Oslo has been posted online at this location.

Black Label Society will embark on the "Black Label Bash" headlining tour in March. This trek, which will feature support from Sevendust, will be the band's first in North America since the fall of 2007.

According to Black Label Society guitarist/vocalist Zakk Wylde, the current trek through Europe has been a huge success — and with the release of a greatest-hits package in the spring, "the time felt good to get back on the bus with the guys back home."

Black Label Society announced in June 2007 that it had parted ways with Roadrunner Records.

The group's sole release through Roadrunner was 2006's "Shot To Hell" album.

"Shot To Hell" sold just under 32,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release — less than the 45,000 copies shifted by BLS's "Mafia" (Artemis) back in March 2005 — to land at position No. 21 on The Billboard 200 chart.

Fan-filmed video footage of Black Label Society's December 6, 2008 concert at the Hard Rock Hell II festival in Prestatyn Sands, North Wales, U.K. can be viewed here.

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

Zakk Wylde spent a couple of days at our rehearsal space. A cool person, and a great guitarist...funny guy. Shared his drinks with us. I told him to come up and help me load up a truck. My buddy showed him how to play 'Crazy Train'...and later on that night, Zakk played it the way my buddy showed him.

Checked

[.:st.anger:.]

these writers are dipshits - nowhere in that interview was there mention of ozzy - not that i would gift a shit since ozzy blows

No your the didpshit read the first sentence and think before you try to flame UG just because you think it's cool.

[guitar_freak523]

he mentions ozzy album within the first few seconds of the interview

[Ginger-les-tom]

yes of course, everyone is going to take the musical opinion of someone who has St. Anger as his name.....clearly has GREAT music taste. Tard. Ozzy doesn't blow, he bites bats f***ing heads off ! thats cool !

[perilouspete]

I can't wait to see them at the Rave, they're gonna haul ass. and i know that ozzy wants to do another album, so if that means yet another year without new BLS, so be it. he's the kind of guy that's always doing something, whether writing or touring. great ****ing guy, that Wylde guy.

[perilouspete]

and btw, how many true fans are there on this site of zakk and ozzy's new music (ozzy band or BLS), not just the people? i personally think the music is pretty kick ass. black rain has some great songs on it, the only thing i'm really down on is the lack of many imaginative solos. also, shot to hell has like 4 really good slow songs, and faith is blind is a great hard-rockin tune. for whatever reason though it seems like their music isn't that popular, i don't get why that is.

yes, where does he?

[GN'R Dude]

"What is the difference between writing for a BLS album and an Ozzy album?"
-Zakk
"Nothing, its the same."

That is why Black Rain will never touch something like No More Tears, Zakk's last worthwhile contribution to music.

[Mullen2105]

PLEASE NO MORE OZZY ALBUMS WITH ZAKK!
