Vs Sharon |
Rockdirt reports: After Contactmusic.com quoted
Sharon Osbourne saying that Babyshambles singer Pete Doherty "needs a bleedin'
good slap," and that he "needs someone who loves him, who really gives
him some love... He needs to be knocked out a couple of times...and thrown
into rehab - It's his only chance of survival," Metro's Green Room column
sought a reaction. "I never like to be disrespectful to the elderly and
I guess she is knocking on a bit despite all that surgery," he said. -

Hoey On Ozzy |
Rock N Roll Universe reports: In a brand new
exclusive interview conducted by Rock N Roll Universe, guitarist Gary Hoey
discusses his new album 'Monster Surf,' the days on the Strip in L.A.,
auditioning for Ozzy Osbourne in the wake of Randy Rhoads' untimely death,
the state of modern guitar playing and much, much more.During the interview
Hoey recalled the events leading up to being flown out to California and
subsequently playing with Osbourne. A short excerpt from the interview
follows:
RNRU : Speaking of Black Sabbath, there
may be some people who aren't aware that after Randy Rhoads passed away,
you auditioned for the spot in Ozzy's band. How did that come about, and
what was that experience like for you?
GH : It was awesome. I was one of the biggest
Black Sabbath fans, their music to me was just so awesome. I was in Boston,
and Ozzy came through on a radio tour looking for guitar players. He had
kind of an open casting call all over the United States, he had over nine
hundred people try out. I overheard him on the radio, he said "Hey man,
we're looking for a guitar player, call up the station and let's hear what
you've got." So, I called up, I put the phone down and actually played
right over the air. They said, bring a tape down, so I went down to the
station and gave it to them. About a week later, I got a call that said
Ozzy really liked your tape and we want to fly you to Los Angeles for another
audition. That was a really big thing for me, and we flew out and I tried
out for the band. I didn't get the gig, but I had a great experience, got
to actually play with Ozzy a couple of times, they had me back. Ozzy and
Sharon told me "Gary, if you come out to California, you'll probably do
really well if you're actually living out here." So, I immediately left
the East Coast, relocated and I found my manager and signed with Warner
Brothers Records in 1991. [see full story for more]- Click
