Ozzy wants a new Black Sabbath album... and not with Dio
He may be releasing a new solo album - Black Rain - this month but metal / docu-soap legend Ozzy Osbourne isn't ruling out another album with Black Sabbath, in fact he's very keen on the idea:
"I'm still on for an album and a tour with them, but we have no [new material written]," he stold MTV.com. "It would be so easy for us to get in and out of a studio and make an album. But if it's not up to the par of when I left, why do it? It will destroy the f---ing legacy of Black Sabbath, and the legend of Black Sabbath. I haven't dropped the idea, because Tony [Iommi] and I are talking alright about it. I haven't abandoned the idea — like, 'If my album does well, f--- Black Sabbath.' It's what I want to do. We have repaired some of the damage between each other, and now, I'd like to do a really good f---ing Black Sabbath album."
So what do you think - has the Ozzman got one more classic album left in him or should he just hang up the headless bat and call it a day? Is a new album with the Dio-led Heaven And Hell line-up a better option for Tony Iommi?
