Bumblefoot is multi-faceted
Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, guitarist for the new Guns N’ Roses tribute band, has some tips for you if you want to do well in the music biz.
“You have to be able to multitask and be multi-faceted. If you’re just going to be a guitar player that plays in a band, your options are going to be very limited. […] [The] number one [rule], which will be funny coming from a guitarist in Guns N’ Roses, is don’t be late! That was always my cardinal rule for everything. In order to be on time you need to be early, then wait in your car for 15 minutes and walk in two minutes before whatever time you’re supposed to be there“ said Bumblefoot while eating a sandwich.

Well at least he has a sense of humor, right? I heard Axl abides by the same rules of never being late.
Ozzy rear-ended someone
Batman eater Ozzy Osbourne rear-ended someone in L.A. I know what you’re thinking… Was it Rob Halford??? No, silly, it was some stranger.
“Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, it all went down yesterday morning — Ozzy‘s Ferrari hit a Mercedes from behind right before entering an L.A. highway. We’re told both parties waited for police to arrive and then traded information — departing without incident. There were no injuries and damage was minor” writes TMZ.com
Watch the photos here.
Wait… Ozzy drives a Ferrari??? What?? The thought of Ozzy driving anything is scary to me, let alone a 300-horsepower beast. What was Sharon thinking letting him do that? He should be driving a Prius at best.
When asked if he’s still confused as to which side you have to drive on in the U.S., Ozzy had no comment. He just stood there and shook about.
Motorhead hate the US
Ok, maybe Motörhead don’t quite “hate” the US of A, but if you’re living in America and are eagerly awaiting Motörhead’s 174th album, The Wörld Is Yours, it’s bad news I’m afraid. The album will not be released until Febuary.
However, if you’re from the UK, you can get the album in a special edition of Classic Rock Magazine, from today. The album is officially released in January. Unless you’re from America of course…

Black Sabbath news
Well, only 50% of the post title is true. It is news, but it regards a 40 year old song. According to The Metal Den, they have obtained what they believe is one of the earliest and rarest bootleg recording of “Hand of Doom,” back from 1970. The details of whereabouts and the exact date of the recording are unknown, but the quality is pretty good. So, that’s the Black Sabbath tidbit for today. Expect more news in 2012, and hopefully Dr. Ozzy‘s tips pay off so we might actually see these guys breathing then.
