Zakk Wylde was recently interview by Eonmusic in the UK and talked about Ozzy’s ‘slammin’ new album and the chances of reviving his band Pride & Glory.
Wylde was in the UK last month to play Download with Black Label Society and talked about Ozzy’s new “Patient Number 9” album, “The album is slammin’. Him and Andrew [Watt, producer] wrote the record. The stuff’s slammin’, and then Ozzy’s singing great, and I get to put my little fiddly-diddly bits all over it.”
Wylde went on, “Being on an album with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Lord Iommi [Tony Iommi], I mean, if you would have told me when I was 15 years old that I’m going to be on a record with Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, I would have been, ‘Forget it. Lights out.’ It’s a huge honor, man.”
Zakk also talked about the possibility of Pride & Glory coming back, “Yeah, we could always do that. I mean, Jamo’s playing with Megadeth now, Father Brian’s with The Dead Daisies. Yeah, we’re still all buddies, so there’s no reason why we couldn’t do it. Just go up to the Vatican [studio], and we could even make another record, let alone, or just tour on the one that we did, you know what I mean? So yeah, we could always do that.”
Ozzy’s “Patient Number 9” album has a September 9 release date.
Curious what you think… Randy Rhoads aside, Zakk Wylde is the best guitarist to play in Ozzy Osbourne’s band, right?
