If you've been following this site for the last few months, you've seen our coverage of the Ozzy/Zakk Wylde split. To quickly recap, Ozzy kicked Zakk out and revealed so via a magazine interview. Zakk didn't even know. Then, two months of awkwardness lead to Gus G. being named the new guitarist. Zakk then proceeded [...]

Artisan News Services posted a brief clip where they got a few soundbites from Ozzy Osbourne. We've covered to death the whole deal with him unceremoniously kicking out Zakk Wylde via a magazine article, but now Ozzy has made his first public comments on the issue.

In his first public interview since being installed as new guitarist of OZZY OSBOURNE's band, guitarist GUS G. (also of FIREWIND) spoke to the Greek version of Metal Hammer magazine about how he was approached about joining Ozzy's band, and it almost sounds like a 15 year old who has a crush on a girl:
I [...]

Ok, not really! But, BlizzCon happened and Ozzy performed without Zakk Wylde. Gus G was indeed playing the guitar, and he fucking nailed it. If you had your eyes closed, you would never know there was a new guitar player. Ozzy's camp has still yet to give an official word on Zakk's status in the [...]

We've been covering this whole Ozzy Osbourne/Zakk Wylde falling out for a while now and the hits clearly just keep on coming. All along, despite all the rumors of Ozzy replacing Zakk on the new CD with Gus G, Zakk's stance was this:
I'm doing Blizzcon with him in August and supposed to finish up the [...]

Metal Injection Interviews Firewind
Above you will find an interview that our resident Power Metal correspondant Mike conducted with FIREWIND last year. How is this related to Ozzy?

Man, this who Ozzy/Zakk Wylde thing is becoming the feud of the summer. Yesterday, we posted an audio bit of Zakk acting like his girlfriend just broke up with him and now it seems he is going on a national publicity breakup tour as there is ANOTHER interview he did and the dude is just [...]

Nothing lasts forever in this music biz, and the 20 year bromance that was Ozzy and Zakk Wylde seems to (thankfully) be over:
From a recent interview with Classic Rock Mag:
“Well, I’m getting a new guitar player as we speak,” said Ozzy, “and everyone has been saying to me for a long time, ‘Get Johnny 5!’ [...]

If one thing can be said about the writers of Metal Inquisition (besides the fact that they are assholes) is they are heavily opinionated. Its also possible they know a little bit more about metal than you do. Which is why we asked them to guest-blog for us and revive our tr00 or False column, [...]
