The VP of music presents The Most Interesting Band in the World!
From Rolling Stone Dec 2010:
Ozzy Osbourne, in his musical genius, has decided to create a superband to give him a chance to explore the blues rock roots he never had.
OZZY OSBOURNE – VOCALS
Ozzy has gathered three different guitarists that will be able to come up with some amazing sounds together. Billy Gibbons’ Texas blues rock, Slash’s classic Les Paul sound and Tom Keifer’s steel guitar will bring about some unique harmonies. People will come from all over just for that! Gibbons and Keifer will be providing some raspy backup vocals to contrast Ozzy’s high wail. Keifer’s piano, sax, and harmonica playing will only add to the blues rock theme.
SLASH – GUITAR
BILLY GIBBONS – UTILITY Guitar and Vocals
TOM KEIFER – Kick Ass UTILITY Guitar, Vocals, Harmonica, Sax, Piano
Look, they’re already collaborating!
Providing the bass lines and strong beats, Ozzy has re-teamed up with former drummer Tommy Aldridge and bass virtuoso, Cliff Burton. Cliff can play anything, but is best known for his improvisation. He’ll hear what the guitarists are doing and just join along. Cliff says he's excited for the chance to veer off from his usual dead Metallica style. For the drums, Ozzy couldn’t just go with anyone for this task. He had to go where his confidence lies with someone he knows and trusts to work with all these egos.
TOMMY ALDRIDGE – DRUMS
CLIFF BURTON – BASS
There isn’t a current set list – these creative guys will be making the music we’ve been dying to hear. You know you're getting hard just thinking of the possibilities...
Stay tuned for tour dates.
