Canadian Students Get To See Ozzy Concert Set Up
According to London, Ontario's Western News, students from the Don Wright Faculty of Music will join others from Fanshawe College and the Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology to experience what it takes to set up for a major touring show.
About 100 students will be at London’s John Labatt Centre Saturday morning to watch the installation, from load-in to sound-check, of OZZY OSBOURNE’s show.
“It will give them a window on what it takes to pull off a large professional stage performance,” said Mike Godwin, technical officer at the Faculty of Music.
“Any big touring group has to adapt their sound system to the space – and do it quickly. It is educational for students, especially if they’ve never been exposed to this before.”
The load-in consists of taking performing equipment, from microphones to pyrotechnics, from eight transport trucks and setting up in the JLC. The students will watch as the crew adjusts to the size of the stage, the acoustics of the space and conducts a sound check with the band. They will also be given a tour of the facility.
The Western students, enrolled in Theory and Composition and Music Administrative Studies, plan a career in music with technology. They are part of the newly formed student division of the London chapter of the Audio Engineering Society (AES).
“It’s a great opportunity for them to network with the people in the industry,” said Godwin. “Their meetings will include tours, masterclasses and speakers. For example, they might hear a lecture by electrical engineers discussing microphone design, to delivering a performance online.”
The AES is a non-profit, world-wide organization that connects audio professionals and students, establishes industry standards and stages conventions and conferences. There are 13,500 members, 81 professional sections and 93 students in 48 geographic regions, including China.
The Don Wright Faculty of Music is one of Canada’s top music schools with faculty and alumni who are world-renowned performers, composers, theorists, musicologists and educators.

AC/DC, Ozzy Osbourne Reveal New Sales Figures
AC/DC's classic "Back in Black" album was certified 22-times-platinum on December 13, 2007 by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for sales in excess of 22 million copies in the United States.
As previously reported, "Plug Me In" — the ultimate career-spanning DVD box set of live performances, interviews and more from AC/DC — has been certified five-times-platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). Released on October 16, "Plug Me In" debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Music Video chart and #1 on the SoundScan Top DVD Music Videos chart.
"Plug Me In" — the first AC/DC release since the band came to Columbia Records earlier this year — debuted at #1 in 12 countries around the world, including the U.S., the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Finland, and New Zealand.
The compilation contains over five hours of live and television performances, many of them rare and previously unavailable until now. A limited edition of the set includes a third disc featuring 21 additional performances, along with reproductions of authentic AC/DC memorabilia.
AC/DC is scheduled to begin recording its first all-new album since 2000's "Stiff Upper Lip" at some point soon, although exact dates remain a mystery.
OZZY OSBOURNE's latest CD, "Black Rain", was certified gold on December 14, 2007 by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for shipments in excess of 500,000 copies in the United States.
"Black Rain" was reissued on November 20 as a "Special Limited-Edition Tour Package" featuring a bonus CD of live tracks and B-sides. The bonus CD includes the following cuts:
01. I Don't Wanna Stop (live)
02. Not Going Away (live)
03. Here For You (live)
04. Nightmare
05. Can't Save You
06. Love To Hate
In an interview with Australia's Herald Sun published last month, Ozzy Osbourne made it clear that he wasn't too happy about the effect of downloading on the music industry. He said, "I've been suffering terribly from people downloading ['Black Rain']. If they don't find something to stop it, people won't be able to make records. There won't be any new bands. How are they going to survive? I'm an old-timer, I've been doing it 40 years now, but new bands are going to suffer. It's ridiculous, you could be doing it for nothing. Sharon said I'd be astounded to find out how many bands are touring because you can download a record but you can't beat a rock show."
"Black Rain" was reissued in August by Epic in a new jewel-case package containing the full booklet with lyrics and new color cover art and photos. It also contains CD extra bonus content featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the "Black Rain" photo shoot.
"Black Rain", which originally came out on May 22, was released in "eco-friendly" packaging, with the CD sleeve made out of recycled paper. In addition, the record came out without a booklet to further save paper, with the lyrics, credits and other inside material available to buyers of the CD at SonyMusic.com.
"Black Rain" features several songs based on current events and the state of the world in general. But Osbourne told The Pulse of Radio that he hasn't turned into an "issues-oriented" artist. "Believe me, I've not suddenly woken up and I'm sane," he said. "But I'm not one of these guys that can write about boy-meets-girl and, I mean, it's got to mean something to me. I don't write all the lyrics, but I have to say, 'Well, you know, isn't that strange that that happened when this happened,' you know, and I'll get going, you know."
"Black Rain" debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart, with first-week sales of 152,000 copies.

Ozzy Osbourne's Biography Bumped To May
The following report is courtesy of Oliver Duff from Independent.co.uk:
Despite acknowledging that, "it takes me 18 months to read a fucking pamphlet", OZZY OSBOURNE last year agreed to join the ranks of CS Forester, Evelyn Waugh, PG Wodehouse and JD Salinger at publisher Little, Brown, by signing a lucrative deal to write his memoirs. It was to be released in time for our stockings this week.
Unsurprisingly, for a man who has slow-cooked his cortex in adventurous chemicals, there were hitches in collecting the rocker's thoughts. Seven months ago, Pandora reported that Ozzy (busy touring) had missed his deadline, requiring wife Sharon to pen an emergency follow-up to her own autobiography.
The publisher rescheduled his bingeing, bat-biting extravaganza for release on May 1st, 2008.
Zakk Wylde Schedules Toronto Signing Session
OZZY OSBOURNE/BLACK LABEL SOCIETY guitarist Zakk Wylde will take part in a signing session at Long & McQuade (925 Bloor Street West) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Sunday, January 20 beginning at 3:00 p.m. Please note that wristbands will be limited to the first 150 people in line. The event is free of charge.
For more information, call (416) 588-7886.
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY announced in June that it had parted ways with Roadrunner Records.
The group's sole release through Roadrunner was last year's "Shot to Hell" album.
"Shot to Hell" sold just under 32,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release last September — less than the 45,000 copies shifted by BLS's "Mafia" (Artemis) back in March 2005 — to land at position No. 21 on The Billboard 200 chart.
Ozzy Osbourne Cancels Cleveland Show

The show will not be rescheduled because of scheduling conflicts. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.
'Ozzy apologizes for the inconvenience' to his fans, the release said. ROB ZOMBIE, scheduled to appear with Osbourne at the Wolstein Center, will present his show Thursday at the House of Blues in Cleveland.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.

In This Moment Guitarist Talks Hometown Ozzy Show
Southern California's IN THIS MOMENT is currently catching the attention of thousands of people across North America opening for the legendary OZZY OSBOURNE and ROB ZOMBIE. This massive three-month arena tour — which runs through early next year — afforded the band an opportunity to perform a monumental show at the Staples Center in their hometown of Los Angeles this past weekend. The event was a massive success as the group prepares to close out the year on stage at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Commented guitarist Chris Howorth: "We just played our hometown show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and it was absolutely fantastic. All our friends and family got to see us at this huge arena opening for OZZY OSBOURNE and ROB ZOMBIE! It's a dream come true for us.
"Taking the stage at an arena show in L.A. is a feeling that is beyond words to describe, especially for a band that started out having to buy tickets to play The Whisky.
"We are really excited about every show on this tour because they are all amazing, but we are a little extra pumped up about the Madison Square Garden show in New York. It's a Christmas show with Ozzy at one of the most famous arenas in the U.S.
"It's crazy to think about all the legendary sporting events that have taken place and all the huge bands that have played at that venue. I am beyond excited to be playing there and it doesn't seem real.
"I am so thankful for where we are and what we are doing right now."
IN THIS MOMENT's debut album, "Beautiful Tragedy" (Century Media Records), has sold 38,000 copies in the United States since its March 20, 2007 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
New Zealand Church Groups Protest Ozzy Performance
Jenny Ling of Stuff.co.nz reports: A crusade is looming as church groups prepare to take on heavy metal heavyweights poised to play in Wellington [New Zealand] over Easter.
Wellington pentecostal church Lifepoint says the lineup of bands — including former bat-biter OZZY OSBOURNE and KISS — are "not appropriate" and will have "negative influences" on the city during the two-day Rock2Wgtn festival on March 22 and 23.
They plan to lobby other church groups and will look at taking their concerns to Wellington City Council.
"It's not appropriate from our angle of things," said pastor Karen Crawshaw.
"I don't think we can force our views on others but at the same time we think it's a very negative influence on our city.
"It'll put a damper on the things the church traditionally focuses on at the Easter season."
The condemnation follows confirmation that another hellish rock act, Finnish heavy metal band LORDI, has been booked to appear at the Wellington event.
The band, whose five members dress in elaborate costumes as monsters and demons, won the Eurovision song contest last year.

Ozzy Osbourne Charity Sale Reaps Over $800,000
According to Reuters,
Sharon Osbourne and her BLACK SABBATH frontman husband, OZZY, raised more than $800,000 for charity after heavy metal enthusiasts turned out en masse for their Beverly Hills-style garage sale, auction manager Darren Julien said on Saturday.
Bidders at the auction, which benefited the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation, ran the gamut from metal heads to the high-brow.
The lots included knickknacks and furniture from the Osbournes' former Beverly Hills mansion, which served as the backdrop for their family's MTV reality television series The Osbournes.
Fans snapped up Ozzy's coat for $3,300, his skull-adorned sneakers for $2,625 and a pair of his wire-rimmed sunglasses for $5,250.
"The Osbourne factor more than doubled the value of some items," said Julien, president of Julien's Auctions.
The beaded wire model of the Eiffel Tower that adorned the family kitchen throughout the series fetched $10,000 while Ozzy's Mary Rose Young coffee cup sold for $1,625. The family's custom pool table racked up a winning bid of $11,250.
Julien called the bidding "feverish" and said the quirky couple's fan base was "unlike anything we have ever seen by record numbers of bidder registrations."
Ozzy And Sharon Osbourne To Host Brit Awards 2008
According to Digitalspy.co.uk, OZZY and Sharon OSBOURNE are to host the Brit Awards next year, it has been announced.
The X Factor judge and the BLACK SABBATH rocker will be in charge of the event's proceedings after last year's presenter Russell Brand was dumped after just one year on the show.
The last time a man and a woman had joint hosting duties at the bash was five years ago when Frank Skinner and Zoe Ball fronted the ceremony.
Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox were the previous male and female hosts before that in 1989, which has gone down as the most shambolic show in the event's history after the pair forgot their lines and Government Minister Kenneth Baker was booed by the audience.
Rob Zombie Talks Halloween DVD
The Pulse of Radio reports: Rob Zombie sat down with Bloody-Disgusting.com for an update on all his current projects, including the upcoming DVD of his recent hit remake of "Halloween". Zombie said the package will contain his "unrated" longer cut of the movie, loads of deleted scenes, documentaries and other bonus features. One thing it will not include, however, is the "workprint" version of the movie that leaked online prior to its theatrical release. Zombie said, "I don't know what this bullshit workprint is. Something got online which I never saw...the version from the day that someone decided to steal the movie and put it online is one of the 300 versions we were cutting. So I don't know what that is, but the one on the unrated DVD is not that."
Zombie also confirmed that recent rumors about him directing a remake of Eighties horror film "C.H.U.D." were "100% false," and that his "adult" cartoon, "The Haunted World of El Superbeasto", will be completed in February when he finishes his current tour with OZZY OSBOURNE.
Speaking of Ozzy, Zombie was asked in a recent call with reporters if he'd ever consider casting his tourmate in one of his movies: "Casting Ozzy? No, no. Acting's not a joke for me, you know, and not everybody can act. I mean, there's a lot of people that are great personalities, but that doesn't mean they're actors, because acting's hard and it's really hard on the actors. And that's why usually musicians are terrible actors, 'cause they have their personality and persona, but it doesn't mean they can act."
Zombie has not announced what his next live-action feature will be, although he has said it will "not be a horror film."
The rocker-turned-director appears with Ozzy on Wednesday night (November 28) in Glendale, Arizona.

Helloween Bassist To Do Hard Rock Album
Frontiers Records will release the debut album from Markus Grosskopf's (HELLOWEEN) BASSINVADERS, entitled "Hellbassbeaters", on January 25, 2008.
BASSINVADERS was a creation of Markus' while sitting in a bar and enjoying a few drinks. It was there that he got inspired to produce a heavy rock record without any guitars at all. He presented this concept in early 2007 to Frontiers Records, which was intrigued by the idea and gave it a go.
According to a press release, "Hellbassbeaters" contains all the basic elements of a heavy rock record "and so much more. You got the strong vocals, rhythmic bass, intoxicating drums and even bass and twin bass solo parts. What you hear is what you get: 100% genuine heavy rock record with absolutely no discordant guitar note on it at all." To guarantee a great variety of different influences, Markus invited some well-known singing bass players from the German metal scene to join the band, including DESTRUCTION's Schmier, SODOM's frontman Tom Angelripper and RAGE's Peavy. He also managed to get a few of his bass heroes to lay down solos on some of the tracks, including Billy Sheehan, Rudy Sarzo and DD Verni.
Guest musicians include:
Bass:
Billy Sheehan (STEVE VAI, MR. BIG, DAVID LEE ROTH)
Rudy Sarzo (DIO, OZZY OSBOURNE, WHITESNAKE, QUIET RIOT)

Potentially Satanic Ozzy Memorabilia For Sale
People who find themselves watching reruns of The Osbournes and wondering where they could possibly get their own skull and crossbones cufflinks or backstage pass to Ozzfest 2002 may be in luck.
Julien's Auctions, who specialize in high-profile celebrity auctions will be selling off more than 500 items from the Ozzy Osbourne and family's personal collection, many of which were prominently displayed on episodes of The Osbournes. The auction, which is scheduled to take place on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, features a wide range of products from rings to cars and everything Ozzy in-between.
Some items will likely have no problem finding buyers. The Dark One's bat cloak, his velvet bath robe and trademark wire-frame glasses are all available, as are the family's Teen Choice Award and 2006 Bentley Continental. While items from Ozzy's wardrobe come too late for Halloween, they are certainly coveted items amongst those who still request "Crazy Train" at weddings.
On the other hand, some items, while sure to sell, may go to buyers who wish to remain anonymous, such as a pair of Ozzy's used leather pants and a signed and inscribed 8x10 photo of David Hasselhoff circa Baywatch.
Also available for auction is Ozzy's Yamaha "Banshee" ATV, the very one he crashed in 2003 leading him to sporting a neck brace, which unfortunately isn't up for grabs. Bidding starts at $2,000 for the neck-smashing quad.
Many of the items may be of little interest to Ozzy fans at all and may instead end up in the hands of gothic furniture collectors, such as carved changing screens, lamps and a log bin.
Fans of other celebrities may want to take note as well. The auction features gold records from Pantera, Ugly Kid Joe, System Of A Down, Static X and more.
The auction seems to be the real deal and not a police sting similar to one used by Fargo, North Dakota police earlier this month in which people with outstanding warrants were invited to meet the singer, only to be led away in handcuffs upon arrival.
