Ozzy Osbourne is a "Soul Sucka"

You may have heard this news by now, but in case you haven't, Ozzy's newest album featuring Gus G. (of Firewind) on guitars in place of Zakk Wylde is called Soul Sucka.

Judging by the name, maybe it's a good thing Wylde won't be on this album. But then again, can we really judge an album based on its title alone?

The Ozzman is still capable of busting out a few surprises (see "Trap Door" below), so who knows what will happen with Ozzy in 2010...

UPDATE FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

Ozzy Osbourne has scrapped "Soul Sucka" as the working title of his new solo album. "When we put that on the Internet none of my fan base liked the title," Osbourne tells RollingStone.com. "They were like, 'I can't imagine me walking around the fucking house with the words 'Soul Sucka' on my T-shirt.' So I was like, 'Fuck it. I've got to come up with something else!'" The now-untitled set is due out in July, the same month Osbourne says that Ozzfest will return after a one-year break. "After Ozzfest I'm doing the most extensive tour of my life," he says. "It'll be something like, 3,025 dates."

vournEasily the worst album title of Ozzy's solo career.
I'm sure the album will still be full of stop the war, save the planet, reminicse on my past life, I love my family songs.

Rob Liz you are an idiot. So is the person who wrote this lame titled article. Meet the man and say the same thing.

If he were that bad, why so much gold & platinum under the belt buckle in Metal? His stats gold to 7x platinum: 11 (Sabbath), 21 (solo).

The man continues to put out excellent music that ROCKS. Just because you don't like listening to music that has a point doesn't mean the rest of the world agrees. Black Rain is certified gold.

Gus G adds a dynamism to the band that has been stagnating for awhile with Zakk. I think there are exciting things coming ahead. Why don't you just stay tuned. You tell me by early fall if you aren't eating your fricken words.

@Darkblade: To each his own. I was not bashing Ozzy (his first two solo albums are personal favorites and I even said I love "Trap Door"). But do check out this clip from a recent Blabbermouth.net article:

My criticisms weren't so harsh when the Ozzman himself agrees with them, were they?
