Reign in Blonde [noun; plural] - Two tall, blonde chicks who bring the metal. We're not know-it-alls, and we don't report the news. This is our blog where we simply discuss what's on our brutal minds. Bon Appetit.
Someone is on my side this week, as two of my favorite forces are combining to make TV GOLD. My favorite fellow blonde bitch, Chelsea Handler, is going to have none other than the prince of darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, on her show this coming Monday! Just when I thought life was getting a little boring, I get a bit of excitement and quality entertainment on an otherwise boring Monday night.
But what will they talk about? The new book of course, but will Chelsea pull some shtick and bite a bat’s head off too? Will Ozzy arrive with his own Mexican nugget? Maybe he’ll give her a proper instruction on headbanging and how to get back at annoying neighbors.
Whatever, they just just sit and stare at each other and I’ll still be pleased that the two worlds combined, even for just a six minute interview. Get it, Chelsea. We’ll I’ll be watching.
I just found this picture over on the Best Week Ever blog…and as much as I understand that it might be fun to dress up your little one as a miniature metal “you”…certain “accessories” are just a little excessive.
Aww, don’t cry baby. At least we know mommy got the book on sale! I hope she’s a Borders member.
I’ve been having a very “mellow” weekend, myself as I brace myself for my new job that I’m starting tomorrow. (Oh yeah, did I mention I got a new job?? Wooooooo!!!!) Anyway, I tuned into last night’s episode of SNL, with host Joseph Gordon Levitt and musical guest the Dave Matthews Band. They did a sketch called “The Mellow Show” in which they poke fun at all the lame bro-riffic singer/songwriter types like Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, and Jason Mraz.
Andy Samberg (as Johnson) then welcomes in Ozzy Osbourne who is played by none other than the REAL Dave Matthews. His impression is actually really impressive. It almost makes me want to like him….almost. He even makes fun of himself, which is a nice touch. See for yourself in the clip above.
Hey! Are you in LA? Well, check this out (via Huffington Post)
Slash and friends join forces to battle youth homelessness in Los Angeles during the Los Angeles Youth Network (LAYN) Rocks! benefit concert November 22 at the Avalon Hollywood.
Hosted by comedian George Lopez, LAYN Rocks! will unite musical talents Slash, Ozzy Osbourne, Perry Farrell, Tom Morello, Billy Idol, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Travis Barker, Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother, Dave Navarro, and many others for a night of music and a step toward eradicating youth homelessness.
Ok ok, so maybe the entire line-up isn’t so great (*cough*seriouslywholistenstoWolfmother*cough*) but I’m a sucker for a good cause. The event is this Sunday, so if you’re in the LA area, act fast! (Think they serve booze? Just askin’)
I’m pretty sure Ozzy doesn’t have to drink any cuckoo potions to be “scary” these days, but I suppose this song is still crucial. Does the three wolf shirt count as a legit costume this year?
The Prince of Darkness has a new autobiography coming out- “I Am Ozzy.” I read Sharon’s autobiography “Extreme” and really liked it, so what could be bad about Ozzy’s? Uh, this quote right here about the result of too many drugs affecting his sex life:
“I end up pumping away on top of Sharon like a road drill all night, with nothing happening,”
Ew. I’m all about old people keepin’ the fire burnin’, but keep that fire in YOUR stove, you dig? Get it all you like, but the older you are the less I want to hear about it. Kthanksbye.
I’ve mentioned that one of my favorite things about fall is the football/beer combo. It’s not that I don’t care about the NFL (alright… maybe I don’t care about the NFL) but it’s that I’m more interested in the NCAA. I’ve been to a couple SU football games this year, and each time have been amazed by the music selection being showcased in the Dome. I guess they call it “The Loud House” for a reason. Don’t get too excited, they’re not exactly blasting Pig Destroyer while reviewing plays, but nonetheless college football can actually be pretty brutal. Injuries, especially. At games I’ve heard:
“Welcome to the Jungle” Guns N’ Roses
“We’re Not Gonna Take It” Twisted Sister
“Cum On Feel The Noize” Quiet Riot
“Enter Sandman” Metallica
Not that shocking, but one song choice that kinda is? “Not Going Away” by Ozzy Osbourne.
I’ve heard “Crazy Train” too, but who knew that sports fanatics were jammin out to new Ozzy as well! Get it. Now let’s keep up this trend. Next game let’s get my favorite pump up song, “Walk” in the mix.
I’m going to the SU vs. Louisville game IN Kentucky in November… think they headbang as much in the South? We shall see…
This little boy does it all: Ozzy, Priest, SOAD, AC/DC, Nickelback, Kiss- wait, Nickelback? Ok, maybe not everything is so good, but he’s 4. Blame the parents for that one…
See, people! This is why it’s important to give blood, metalheads need blood too! Get on it.
Anyway, Zakk Wylde has some kind of rare blood clotting disorder and has been in and out of the hospital as of late. I think it’s all the stress of his recent split with Ozzy. Breakin’ up is hard to do, but you’ve gotta take care of yourself Zakky-poo! Feel better soon. I sends you lots of broccoli, it’ll make everything better :)
So according to a recent quote from Ozzy Osbourne:
“Well, I’m getting a new guitar player as we speak,” said Ozzy, “and everyone has been saying to me for a long time, ‘Get Johnny 5!’ And I tried him at one time and I didn’t really give him a chance. We’ll see, I don’t know. I haven’t fallen out with Zakk, but Zakk’s got his own band, and I felt like my stuff was beginning to sound like Black Label Society. I just felt like I wanted a change, y’know?”
I really like both of them, so for my heart’s sake I hope it’s all amicable and shit. But the problem here is JOHNNY 5. Um… EW, NO. PLEASE DON’T DO IT. I know that Randy Rhoads is irreplaceable, and Zakk’s time may be over, but Johnny 5?!? This guy is a joke. I’d rather he went with Wes Borland or something… oh wait, he’s taken.
