ZAKK WYLDE On New OZZY OSBOURNE CD: 'It's Different, But The Body Shape Is Still The Same'
April 12, 2007Eden Munro of Vue Weekly recently conducted an interview with Zakk Wylde (BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, OZZY OSBOURNE). A few excerpts follow:
On OZZY OSBOURNE's upcoming album, Black Rain":
"It sounds like an Ozzy record. It's not gonna sound like NINE INCH NAILS and it ain't gonna sound like MINISTRY. That's just not Ozzy. It just has to be good songs. It's different, but the body shape is still the same. Whatever's good is good. It's not like when I was doing the PRIDE & GLORY thing and sticking banjos and mandolins in. We're not going to be doing that with Oz — unless the banjo's got tons of distortion on it."
On his life as a touring musician:
"It's beyond hysterical, bro. You just can't make it up. It's just a bunch of berserkers whooping ass and pillaging and drinking and eating. You've got to have a good time while you're out here, otherwise you'll be miserable, and you don't need that."
On his BLACK LABEL SOCIETY bandmates:
"Everybody's good buds. I've never been in a band where I was, like, 'Dude, shut the fuck up and go fuck yourself and get the fuck out before I beat your fucking ass.' I've never been in a band with anybody like that. Everybody that we know, we all just love each other and drink beers together and hang out and have fun.
“I can't understand that, because otherwise what are you hanging out with that person for? I've never been in a band like that and I ain't about to fucking start. Life's fucking hard enough — I got a wife and three kids — I need that shit like I need a fucking hole in the head."
