Ozzy: Being in a band is dying art
Do you agree?
Ozzy Osbourne says the rise of technology in music means bands are losing the ability to jam and shape ideas together. And the Black Sabbath icon – who's the subject of a free TeamRock iPad supplement – has first-hand experience of the phenomenon. Ozzy tells Noisey.com: “The computer age is taking over and there's a lot of trickery. I've actually seen guys in bands. You go, 'Do you want to jam?' and they go, 'Jam? What's that?' Just playing anything together. They can't do it. 'I'll have to consult my computer first.' The art of being in a band is dying.” The singer says he's always proud when another musician is influenced by Sabbath – and he doesn't just mean by the music. He says: “I have people at Ozzfest going, 'Man, if it wasn't for Sabbath... we owe you so much.' I go, 'What part of this is influenced by Sabbath?' I get where they're coming from but it's not the music, it's what it says to the people. “Metal has never had any rules. If you want me to do something, tell me not to. I've never played by any rules. My sole concern is to get on that stage and give the audience a great day out. I want to give my heart and soul when I play, and that's God's honest truth.” Ozzy recently released his retrospective set Memoirs Of A Madman – after revealing that Sabbath are gearing up to record their final album next year. http://classicrock.teamrock.com/news...d-is-dying-art |

Actually he does play an instrument to jam with - his voice. My band often begins practice with a blues jam to warm up, and our singer improvises words and melody on the spot just like the rest of us improvise our parts.

I absolutely HATED the snare sound on St. Anger.
so much so, that it made me hate the entire album. I've tried re-listening to it several times, but just can't get past that 'tin-ey' sound. Overall, I think the sound of the album was shit, but I can't get past that snare to even consider the rest of it. I liked Death Magnetic, however, I lost the CD years ago and probably havent heard any of the songs from it since 2010 easily.

St. Anger had the same thin production and crappy song writing. Maybe they ran out of all the riffs that Mustaine wrote while he was in the band? |

I don't recall what album he was touring for, and maybe I have the year wrong but Motley Crue opened up for him.

Ozzy Jake E Lee Phil Soussan Carmine Appice Looks like a killer band on paper but it never took off; Appice didn't make it the whole tour - Tommy Aldridge was brought on to finish the dates and Soussan was fired a few weeks in and replaced by Daisley...again.
