ZW: Ozzy was feeling a bit under the weather, and he needed to take a break so the shows can still kick ass over there and he won't feel like crap. They just pushed it back a bit, but we're definitely still going over there. That's the game plan. Until then, I'm going to make another Black Label Society album for Spitfire just to keep busy. Either that or do a short run with Black Label across the east coast or something, just an American run, and then go back on the road with Ozz. Then when we come back to the states we're supposed to do a theatre run with Ozzy, but that's all his call. If that doesn't happen, I'll just go back out with Black Label and whoop some ass and take it from there.
SW: So we can expect a new Black Label Society album soon.
ZW: Yeah, there'll be one in the can. We've got some ideas. We just did some heavy stuff with The Blessed Hellride, so we're thinking about just doing something like Hangover Music Volume 1, all mellow shit. So when you get done raging on a Saturday night, you can throw a couple down for the hair of the dog on a Sunday morning and just listen to the mellow shit from Dr. Wylde.
SW: That's a great idea.
ZW: Yeah. On a raging Saturday night when you go out raising hell with your friends, you can listen to The Blessed Hellride, but then when you're f**king feeling like prison ass in the morning and sipping down a couple cold ones just to feel human again, you can listen to the mellow shit. It's like, "Dude, if I hear any heavy music right now I'm gonna cap myself."
SW: Have you seen or talked to Ozzy since he started his new medication?
ZW: Nah. I tried making a couple of calls to him, but his schedule is so f**king crazy. I'll just [tell his people] that if he gets time, tell him to give me a buzz. I don't bother him with shit like that.
