Ozzy Osbourne In New Ad For PlayStation and UPDATE: Steve Vai issues clarification on 'Full Album With Ozzy Osbourne "So sorry for the confusion"

fserfdxjft
Check out this hilarious commercial featuring Ozzy Osbourne for the upcoming PSVR 2 headset for the Sony PlayStation 5 video game console. That new virtual reality set will be launching this Wednesday, February 22nd. Both Ozzy and Sharon appear in the ad, which finds Ozzy playing the PSVR 2 'Horizon Call Of The Mountain', instead helping his wife pack for their move back to England.

UPDATE TO THE BELOW STATEMENT:

"In a recent interview I spoke a bit carelessly about 'Sitting on an entire Ozzy album' and then the clickbait headlines went viral," Vai writes. He then recounts how he and Ozzy entered the studio together to write some more songs for the Prince of Darkness' 1995 solo effort, Ozzmosis.

"We demoed a handful of tracks and then there was a bunch of tracks I built for [Ozzy] to check out," Vai says. "He ended up picking one song to use on his album and that's 'My Little Man.' It was re-recorded with his band, and it came out great. Only one other demoed track from those sessions had an Ozzy scratch vocal on it and I handed in all the Master demo tapes to the label and kept safety tapes of the tracks I personally built."

Vai adds that while there's "enough music for a whole record" on those tapes, "those songs would require re-recording."

"I, like many Ozzy fans, would love if there was a secret hidden Ozzy album somewhere, only to be revealed to our surprised ears at a future time, but it wouldn't come from those sessions," Vai concludes. "So sorry for the confusion."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, Former David Lee Roth guitarist Steve Vai revealed during a new interview that he is "sitting on a whole Ozzy Osbourne record", that they recorded together back in the mid 1990s. Vai co-wrote the song, "My Little Man", that appeared on Ozzy's 1995 album "Ozzmosis". Vai revealed that at that time the two worked on an entire album.

"Well, I'm sitting on a whole Ozzy record, and it's like the Gash record - not 'like' the Gash record - but it's a project that I recorded that's sitting on the shelf. I don't have any control over it or rights to it, obviously, but we did record some pretty good stuff. The interesting thing about that stuff we recorded from a guitar perspective is all of my rhythm guitar parts, I use an octave divider [guitar effect], and that record doesn't sound like anything else. Basically what happened as far as I recognized, Ozzy had recorded about half of his record [ 'Ozzmosis', 1995] for the record company, and Sharon and the label wanted to get him together with some different songwriters to just get some more songs. So, I was one of the ones that they wanted to get together with. It was really just to write some songs for Ozzy's record that he would then take and go use for his record, and whoever he was working with on the record would record it. So I thought; 'yeah, that'd be great. I'd love to do that', but Ozzy and I got carried away because we were having a lot of fun, and we ended up recording a lot of stuff. And then we started scheming; 'hey, let's make a new record!', and all that was fine and good, and we got excited about it until the hammer came down, and they basically said; "what are you doing? No, you've just got to take a song from Vai and finish your record. We're already into it for this much money, and Vai is expense", so it worked out perfect, really." - Steve Vai

hsaycuc

"'Violence No Matter What' is about one thing and one thing only. It's ok to debate and fight and to think differently. But there is a limit, and the line must be drawn at authority held with violence, a world view that cannot survive without enemies, a promised return to a fabricated former glory." - Avatar vocalist Johannes Eckerström

"'Violence No Matter What' was such an inspiring piece to be a part of! Thank you so much to the boys for giving me the opportunity to express my angst against the horrors of this world through such a brilliant song!" - Lzzy Hale

Avatar's new album "Dance Devil Dance" will be unleashed on February 17th. Don't miss them at Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival at Historic Crew Stadium on Saturday May 27th.

Ghost is Hinting At Upcoming Project...Meanwhile In Dublin (Ireland)...Hey is that Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott?

sdldmdflc

Ghost appears to be hinting at an upcoming project. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that a billboard featuring frontman Tobias Forge recently popped up in Los Angeles. It also contained the phrase "Jesus is coming." It's currently unclear what the band could be hinting at, but it does follow a November 2022 interview with Rolling Stone where Forge discussed the "vibe" of Ghost's next album. Their most recent album was "Impera" released in March 2022. 

"SPILLWAYS" Featuring Joe Elliott of Def Leppard

"Impera was my favourite rock album of 2022 … I found out along the way that Tobias is a bit of a fan of DL, so I guess it was inevitable we'd both find out about each other! Once we'd been introduced to the idea of working together it just snowballed organically & I'm thrilled that I got to sing on what is my favourite song from that album!" - Joe Elliott of Def Leppard

Check out the hilarious teaser video and then the Audio/Video of Ghost's "Impera" single "Spillways", featuring Elliot on guest vocals. 

Ghost are planning to celebrate their fictional late 1960s run with a new exhibition at the Whisky a Go Go in West Hollywood, CA this Wednesday, February 01st. If you're not up to date on the band's canon, a young Papa Nihil fronted Ghost in the 1960s, with their 2019 "Seven Inches Of Satanic Panic" representing that time period.
As fate would have it, the b-side from that release, "Mary On A Cross", would find find viral fame on TikTok, subsequently going gold in the United States late last year. Ghost themselves had recently been teasing that "Jesus is coming", and it would appear that this is may have been the resurrection they were referencing.
