[B]OZZY OSBOURNE: Next Album Will Be 'Back To Balls To The Wall[/B]
A new interview with legendary heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne will air on Planet Rock on Monday, May 30 at 7 p.m. Ozzy talked to Nicky Horne about the upcoming 30th-anniversary reissues of Osbourne’s first two albums, “Blizzard Of Ozz” and “Diary Of A Madman”; his love of touring, the ups and downs of BLACK SABBATH; his one wish that his original guitarist Randy Rhoads would still be alive. Ozzy also revealed that he will go back to basics on his new CD. “On my next album, I can assure you it’s going to be back to balls to the wall,” he said. “I have already been writing some stuff, [working on] some ideas with my band.”
"I haven’t got a title. I’ve written a couple of ideas down. But I can’t really give you much more information. It’s not gonna take a long time, I don’t think. All I can say to you is I’ve got a few ideas for songs, but I don’t wanna say when it’s going to be released because I don’t know myself.
“I don’t stick to a formula. I just try and experiment a lot. ‘Scream’ was more like a an experimental album because I didn’t have a band at the time. [Guitarist] Gus [G.] came along and the guys played on the album after I’d done a lot of the work myself and my producer, Kevin Churko, in my studio.”
Ozzy Osbourne’s current touring drummer, Tommy Clufetos, told the “Talking Metal” podcast that early work is already underway for a follow-up to “Scream” and that he thinks Ozzy is “going to return to a classic rock band record.” Clufetos added, “What he has expressed is that he wants to make it the band playing live in a room so wherever that takes us. Less technology and more amps and drums.”
Ozzy recorded much of “Scream” in a studio at his home in Los Angeles with producer Kevin Churko, doing most of the writing and recording on computers. He told The Pulse Of Radio he liked working that way but wanted to do something different next time out. “At the end of the day, the end result was pretty cool, but I don’t know whether I want to continue to do it that way,” he said. “I like to ? like the earlier albums, I’d go rehearse and jam out with the band, get some, like, vibe going, you know. I want to incorporate that and this new technology thing, next album.”
Clufetos told “Talking Metal” that Ozzy and the touring band have already begun working on song ideas between shows on Ozzy’s latest tour, saying, “We are already coming up with new ideas backstage, in the hotel rooms and at soundcheck and have a bunch of ideas recorded . . . time will tell what happens with them.”
