Re: Zakk Wylde admitted to hospital
Hope him well. The Black Label machine hopefully will be moving along well. The man tours harder than just about anyone you can name so hopefully there is time for a new BLS album. Fuck Ozzy the way I see it. Zakk needs time to really sit down and write a killer BLS album to make up for Shot to Hell. Zakk doesn't need Ozzy but Ozzy needs a top tier guitar player and that bum isn't it. I do hope we gets someone like John 5.
Re: Zakk Wylde admitted to hospital
Interesting. Ozzy years ago tried to recruit Buckethead to replace Zakk.
This dude has Bucket-isms, at least there.
that's actually the first thing i thought when i saw this.... "the fucking kid gives bucket a run for his money...."
Re: Zakk Wylde admitted to hospital
Really? Right before Black Rain?
I thought it was older than that for some reason, like around Down To Earth. I thought the whole point to Ozzy's story was that Bucket tried out for him, before joining GN'R, and of course your story of, he refused to remove the Bucket. Ozzy then went into the whole thing about telling him "just be yourself, you don't need to wear that", and Bucket trying to make him understand, "I am being mysef", and Ozzy just couldn't ever get into it.
I never got Ozzy's hang up on it to be honest. Ozzy's over the top too.
I mean come on, this guy used dress in sequence, die his hair blonde, and glam up... yet Bucket looks too strange. Ozzy's looked like a total fool in the past too.

The bucket story is here:
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbe … emID=31127
"I tried out that Buckethead guy. I met with him and asked him to work with me but only if he got rid of the fucking bucket. So I came back a bit later and he's wearing this green fucking Martian's-hat thing. I said, 'Look, just be yourself!' He told me his name was Brian, so I said that's what I'd call him. He says, 'No one calls me Brian except my mother.' So I said, 'Pretend I'm your mum then!' I haven't even got out of the room and I'm already playing fucking mind games with the guy. What happens if one day he's gone and there's a note saying, 'I've been beamed up?' [Laughs] Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. He plays like a motherfucker!"
