Final Two Episodes - 'The Making of Patient Number 9'

Recently I posted a video from Ozzy Osbourne, sharing a "behind the scenes" webisode on the creation of his great new album Patient Number 9. I love these little video looks - they are called "The Sabbath Connection" and "Live Forever." Good stuff for a Friday. Happy weekend! I am so glad the work week is done!

A Look Inside 'Patient Number 9' - Webisode 1

Ozzy Osbourne's Patient Number 9 is a phenomenal new record. The album is packed with big name rock heroes. When you get Zakk Wylde, Eric Clapton, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan - and more! - together, you know it's going to be good.

Ozzy is releasing little webisodes about the "making of" Patient Number 9. The first one just dropped and it is really interesting and under 7 minutes. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Ozzy Is Sick Of Mass Shootings (Like The Rest Of Us)

Ozzy Osbourne is British and wants to return "home" for the "end of his life." Hopefully the Prince of Darkness doesn't leave us anytime soon, but he does have his share of chronic health problems. Regardless, he is surely accurate in his view of America's crazy mass shootings. No matter his age and health issues, Ozzy also says he feels he's got another tour in him. More power to him and I hope he's right!

'Degradation Rules' - New Ozzy Osbourne Video

Ozzy Osbourne just released a video for his new track "Degradation Rules." The track features iconic guitarist Tony Iommi too. The song will be on the upcoming Ozzy album Patient Number 9, due out in early September. It's a cool track - how can you not love new music from these two metal masters?

Ozzy Osbourne Teases New Track 'Patient Number 9'

I happened to be driving yesterday and listening to Hair Nation when the announcer was talking about Ozzy Osbourne dropping a new song this Friday night. The song will actually premiere on SiriusXM. Going from memory, I think it will be on Ozzy's Boneyard at 11:45 p.m.

The new track is called "Patient Number 9." A snippet of the track is below. The song will be on Ozzy's upcoming new album, which is due in September. More later when we get the full song!

Sending Best Wishes To Ozzy

Ozzy Osbourne will have a major surgery Monday. That news comes from his wife (and manager) Sharon Osbourne. She made the announcement on her UK TV show but did not specify the type of surgery Ozzy will undergo. The fact that Sharon says it will "determine the rest of his life" means that it is a major medical deal and is probably also referring to Ozzy's ability to perform again. I certainly wish him the best and I know you do too.

Ozzy... Bluegrass Style

Eric and I went to Kings Island for a little while last night to walk around and people watch. Kings Island is a big amusement park near us and we have season passes, so we can dip in and out. It was our first visit of the season and it is also the park's 50th anniversary, so I wanted to see all the special decorations for the event.

Walking down one of the midways, I noticed bluegrass music playing. Then I sort of snapped my head around and realized I was listening to a bluegrass cover of Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train." Eric laughed and so did I. The cover was pretty cool! I looked it up when I got home and realized it was Iron Horse, a band that does lots of metal bluegrass covers. I thought it was fun and wanted to share. Fellow Americans, enjoy the holiday and remember the sacrifice of our fallen troops.
