OZZY OSBOURNE - "It'll Take About Two Or Three Years Before I Release Solo Stuff Again"
October 20, 2014, 10 years ago
Speaking with GMI Interactive, Ozzy Osbourne discussed his Memoirs Of A Madman and his future plans. An excerpt from the interview is available below:
"I haven't stopped doing my solo stuff. It's like a bridge thing. I'm gonna do one more Black Sabbath tour, one more album with Black Sabbath, and I'm in the process, as we go along, collecting stuff that I'm writing. I've co-written about three songs so far for my own solo thing. It'll take about two or three years before I release solo stuff again."Click the link above for the complete interview.
Released on October 7th, Memoirs Of A Madman (CD) serves as a career spanning audio release, featuring 17 of Ozzy’s greatest hit singles compiled in one place for the first time in his career and will be available in a single CD, two-LP set and two-LP picture disc set configurations.
The Memoirs Of A Madman (DVD) is a definitive visual two-disc DVD set which includes classic music videos, along with unreleased and out-of-print live performances, plus interviews from his solo career. Both sets offer fans of the multi-platinum recording artist, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and three-time Grammy winning singer and songwriter hours of entertainment from Ozzy’s distinguished solo career.

Osbourne's ongoing solo career spans four decades--as both a successful solo artist and as the lead singer of Black Sabbath - and his music is as relevant today as ever; it still resonates daily on TV, in movies, on radio and at stadium sports events. Ozzy’s latest solo release - his tenth studio album, 2010’s Scream - debuted at #4 on the Billboard charts, featuring the #1 Mainstream Rock smash, “Let Me Hear You Scream”.
From the first notes of Ozzy’s 1980’s solo debut Blizzard Of Ozz and follow-up Diary Of A Madman to classic albums No More Tears and Scream, no hard rock solo artist has had quite the same reach as Ozzy; his distinctive vocal delivery and larger than life onstage persona quickly endeared him to millions of rockers. Ozzy immediately had the attention of fans of heavy music with rock staples “Crazy Train”, “Mr. Crowley” and “Flying High Again”. With the 1991 release No More Tears, Ozzy continued his radio success with acclaimed and hugely successful singles “No More Tears” and the smash hit “Mama, I'm Coming Home”.
The tracklisting is as follows:
"Crazy Train""Mr. Crowley"
"Flying High Again"
"Over The Mountain"
"Bark At The Moon"
"The Ultimate Sin"
"Miracle Man"
"No More Tears" (edit)

DVD Two features live performances and interview clips spanning Ozzy’s solo journey, much of which makes its debut on DVD. Some selections have appeared on long out-of-print VHS releases; others will be seen here for the first time, making this an essential package for fans old and new.
