If you’re a fan of Ozzy Osbourne, the chances are pretty good that you’ve heard of Zakk Wylde. Zakk had the dubious distinction of taking the guitar helm after Jake E. Lee and expected to pick up where legend Randy Rhoads left off. Little did that twenty three year old kid know that he’d one day carve out such a deep niche that people would no longer be uttering Zakk’s name after Randy’s, but along side of his. That’s quite an accomplishment for someone who helped usher in Ozzy’s most successful period in music. As a guitar player, his reputation precedes him. As a student of music, he is intensely serious about embracing it in all of its forms.

Ozzfest has now become bloated and “Too Fat for Love.” This is pretty evident just by looking at the 2010 lineup. Sure you’re going to sell some tickets. When you headline Rob Halford, Motley Crue, and Ozzy himself how can you not? Hell, Ozzy is our Elvis. And the days are drifting closer to a time when this generation of fans will have to reminisce about the last time they saw Ozzy sing and where we were when he died. It will be for nostalgic reasons alone that we will never actually burn Ozzy at the stake or even blame Ozzy Osbourne himself for being let down.
