Ozzy Osbourne makes music and tv shows
The name Ozzy Osbourne brings two things to mind. The first consists of his legacy as a singer for Black Sabbath and solo artist. The other relates to his ridiculously over-the-top reality show. Surprisingly, Ozzy managed to divulge about the future of both complements of Mike Snider’s interview with the legend in the USA Today.
On his new television show:
USA Today: Anything new you can tell me about your upcoming Osbournes’ TV project (a six-episode hourlong variety show on Fox)?
Ozzy: There’s a word that scares me a little (used to describe the new show), the word “variety.” If we do a Christmas show, believe me, I’m not going to be sitting at a cozy fire with a scarf on and singing, “I’m dreaming of a white Christmas.” I’m making that perfectly clear right now. I’m not singing any (crappy) little f—ing Christmas songs. It’s kind of like an unscripted (thing). I hope it turns out because Mama, Sharon, is kind of the TV person. She said it would be great if we could all get back together and put this thing on. You know what? OK. We nearly lost her a few years ago when she had cancer. So her passion is for TV. She loves it, so we all love it with her, you know. But I’m not going to become the weatherman or the next Larry King. I’m just going to check it out.
And if that wasn’t enough, Ozzy went on to detail some new music:
USA Today: Anything else in the works?
Ozzy: I am recording another album soon. I’ve got a ProTools machine downstairs in my house now, which I record from home now. I can’t turn the f—ing thing on. (Laughs). It’s like the brain of the house. But when you have somebody who knows what they are doing, it’s so easy to make records now, it’s not even funny. The art of making records is somewhat diminishing. It’s taking the passion out of it. But I will try to give it as much real me as I can. There’s so many tricks I can use. I want to make two albums.
Will the Godfather of Metal’s newest tunes match up to the Randy Rhoads era? Even the Zakk Wylde era? That remains to be seen. Until then, we’ll have to watch the Osbournes’ special first.
