"He's the singer, just play." I lol'd.

"Tell that kid, he's got a job. Now take me home." WOW

Priceless !!

 Heavy Metal Holocaust august 1981 , Stoke-on-Trent.

It is priceless footage but what a pity that whoever was doing the filming didn’t concentrate more on what was happening on the stage while Ozzy and band were playing rather than what was happening in the crowd.

Agree, very frustrating. Good Ozzy Live sequences between '80 and 81 are extremely rare.

Ozzy has confirmed that Tony Iommi, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Zakk Wylde are all guesting on his upcoming 13th album.

[Charger]

Yeah saw that....Based on just how tired and boring the writing for The Ordinary Man was I can't really get excited about this either...

But I am interested in hearing the songs with Tony and Zakk just to see if they have any old school sound and feel to them or has that new producer managed to water those guys out too...

Jeff Beck

Will this be rock and roll Jeff Beck on the album, or will it be jazz fusion Jeff Beck?

I bought Ordinary Man and never opened the thing. I heard some of it on Youtube, shelved the copy I bought and instantly forgot about the album until I saw you mention it here.

I am interested to hear what Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck come up with so I will probably end up buying a copy. Hopefully I will  open it 

[Zzzptm]

If it's Beck and Clapton, he may be wanting to do some old blues numbers...

I never even bought it because I knew that would have happened so I didn't want to waste my money.

[Zzzptm]

Yeah, same here. Solo Ozzy after Bark at the Moon has left me nonplussed, no real plussing-up on the Ordinary Man album.

[Vyn]

The last Ozzy album I bought was No More Tears. Jeff Beck is a fantastic guitarist, interested to hear what he brings to the album. I've never cared for Clapton. He's obviously talented, but his songs for the most part sound like someone trying to have a wank fest in a tar pit.

[Jack the Stripper]

I actually dug Ordinary Man. Has some real catchy hooky songs and some of of Ozzy’s best solo vocal melodies in years but the guitar playing and riffs were quite unmemorable. Sounds like his new album is gonna be really interesting with all the guest players on it. Can’t wait to hear the song Tony’s playing on.

I don't know if this affects other aspects of Ozzy's tour but next Feb/Mar UK/Ireland dates have been put back (again!) this time to May/June 2023!

It's been blamed on "ongoing uncertainty with full capacity events & travel logistics in much of Europe". One thing that came out of Brexit is that permit's & visa's are now a nightmare for UK based bands (not sure if Ozzy's tour falls into that category).

[Zzzptm]

Yeah, travel in/out of the UK is fraught with difficulty. We're seeing that on the business side of things.
