OZZY OSBOURNE was the featured guest at the KNAC.com studios earlier this afternoon, where he chatted with on-air host Junkman about Ozzfest, his new album, Scream and everything else going on in Ozzy-land.

When asked about his future plans, Ozzy remarked he wanted to write another book and possibly call it, "I'm Still Ozzy." He said he'd like to make a movie

based on his current book, I Am Ozzy and joked that actor Denzel Washington could play him. Ozzy covered a lot of ground, including his guitarists, past and present.

As previously reported, Ozzy Osbourne / FIREWIND Guitarist Gus G.recently spoke to Metal Asylum about working with Ozzy and the tentative release date of the new Firewind album, Days Of Defiance. An excerpt is available below.

Metal Asylum: Did you play all the guitars on Ozzy’s new album Scream and did you use the same rid and guitar sound as you use with Firewind? I ask because you guitar tone does sound different than it does with Firewind’s music.

Gus: "Yes I did. When I recorded Scream I switched amps which is why you are hearing a different tone than what I usually use with Firewind. I use to use Randall and Engl amps. For Scream I used Blackstar amps and I’m not only using them for Ozzy but for Firewind. I’m also using Active pickups. I think the guitars on Scream still sound like me. I really like the Blackstar amps."

Metal Asylum: Aside from 'Bark At The Moon' and 'Shot In The Dark', the Bark At The Moon and Ultimate Sin albums are, and have been, ignored for many years. For this tour 'Killer Of Giants' has appeared in the set. Can you tell us what songs could be played from those two albums?

Gus: "Yeah the last couple shows we have played 'Killer Of Giants' and it went over great, and 'Shot In The Dark' is back in. So hopefully more often than not those two should be played. I hope we keep doing both the rest of the tour."

Metal Asylum: Any other rarities getting dusted off?

Gus: "Yeah a couple SABBATH songs like 'Fariies Wear Boots' and 'Into The Void' have been included. 'Road To Nowhere' from No More Tears has made an appearance. So it’s cool the setlist covers most of Ozzy’s career."
