Max Cavalera wants Ozzy and Jaymz

Max Cavalera wants Ozzy Osbourne and James Hetfield… Not in that way (I hope), he wants to work with them.

“Ozzy is, of course, the Godfather of metal and Black Sabbath and his solo career. I’ve played with him many times and I know him personally, but I’ve never got to actually ask him to record anything yet. But I think at one point the chance will definitely come. I would also like to do something with James Hetfield because I love old Metallica and I’ve always been a big fan of the thrash that Metallica brought and I like James’ vocals. I thought a thrash song with me and James singing would have been really cool, too.“

A thrash song with James? Haha, what’s next? Death Metal with Miley Cyrus?

But seriously, I can see why one would want to work with two of the most legendary metal frontmen of all time, but this isn’t the 80s… If you want to work with these two, you’d have to have a National Geographic show about hunting or a reality show… Just sayin’.

Ozzy has funeral plans

Ozzy is thinking about his funeral (can you blame him?) and he got it figured out. He wants it to be a celebration and not just a bunch of people crying…

“I don’t care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and We Are The Diddymen if it makes ’em happy — but I do want to make sure it’s a celebration, not a mope-fest. I’d also like some pranks maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin, or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of ‘death’.“

I wanted to joke around about this but hell, the guy is right. Death is a hard thing to cope with and funerals are making it worse for your family. The death itself is a huge blow, no need for all these stupid traditions gathering people you don’t know, don’t know well or want to avoid faking sadness and feeling sorry for you.

And who wouldn’t want that medley at their funeral? This man deserves a medal.

Friday Top 10: Heavy metal soap operas, part 2

What, you thought last Friday’s Top 10 was the only one? Ha, you wish! Just like a proper soap, we’re popping out endless sequels. Well, maybe not endless, because I plan to wrap it up with this one, but who knows when this topic will come back from the dead.

Make the jump and read ten more never-ending and/or soapy and/or embarrassing stories from the world of metal.

I am still affected by Ozzy’s past LSD usage

I thought this was news last week, but I keep seeing this headline pop up. I didn’t want to post it the first time around, but at least I got a good joke out of it this time… And we’ve had no Ozzy news in two weeks, and you know he’s like the running gag of metal.

Therefore, I present you: Ozzy’s acid trip. Mission accomplished. Oh yeah, and make the jump to find out why you should never take drugs.

Two things you didn’t need to know about Ozzy

It seems that Ozzy really misses his reality TV show, because ever since it got canceled, he’s been making up for it by bringing us all sorts of personal matters via other media. This week we found out that:

1. Ozzy is an emo

When Ozzy, his wife Sharon and of their daughters were watching the movie The Notebook, he felt the tears welling up. “I’m sitting on the bed and I’m thinking I can’t let me daughter see me cry but it gets your heart,” he said. “I’m not really the prince of darkness. I’m a loving, cuddly guy.”

2. Ozzy might change his name to Oxxxy

He also said that his love life was in good shape: “I firmly believe that the only time you’ll ever get any peace from down below is when you’re in the ground. I’m almost 62 and I still love a good old game of ‘Where’s the salami?’”
