Jack Osbourne On AI Ozzy, Crowbar Writing, Dead Wyte Debut
Heavy Metal News & Interviews: The Loaded Radio PodcastShow Notes
Jack Osbourne says the backlash to the family's AI Ozzy avatar "was my own fault," that people wrongly assumed "Ozzy Osbourne selling cell phones," and that building the "digital fingerprint" is about owning his father's IP the way Bob Marley's and Michael Jackson's estates do. Scott Penfold on why Jack is right about ownership and wrong about what people were actually reacting to, two days before Back To The Beginning hits theaters.

Niko Moilanen of Blind Channel joins Scott Penfold two weeks before Painstream, the band's sixth album and the first with every vocal on him, after what the band called twenty months of deliberate silence. He talks about what the quiet was for, Joel Hokka leaving for a reason nobody can argue with, the song inspired by the Fermi Paradox and the 1977 Wow! signal, a track called Youthanasia (yes, like the Megadeth album), Scary Noise Records, the red middle fingers at Eurovision, and the one Helsinki show on November 14 that has to carry the whole comeback.
Sonic Temple 2027 is out: nearly 150 acts, May 13–16 in Columbus, with Iron Maiden (one of the last two Run For Your Lives shows), Korn, Blink-182 and Falling In Reverse on top and Alice In Chains, Faith No More, Meshuggah, Testament, Mastodon, Blood Incantation and Knocked Loose underneath. Scott Penfold on why a pop-punk Thursday headliner is the right call for the heaviest Sonic Temple yet.
Sharon Osbourne says Ozzy's doctors warned that Back To The Beginning "would kill him," that Ozzy answered "I know I'm dying... I want to go this way," and that she never told Black Sabbath or her own children how sick he was. Scott Penfold on why that was the right call, with the Back To The Beginning film in theaters October 28.
Nirvana's Nevermind has passed AC/DC's Back In Black to become the sixth best-selling album of all time, by one thousand copies: 66,832,000 equivalent album sales to 66,831,000, per Chartmasters. AC/DC still lead on physical copies, 37 million to 30 million. Scott Penfold on how the count works, why the streaming number is the honest one, and the fact that should bother everyone: nothing released since 1991 is in the all-time top ten.
Slipknot drummer Eloy Casagrande says Clown told him on day one, "you don't have to be concerned about playing everything right," that the band "don't want to have another Joey in the band," and that the Brazilian rhythms Clown once shut down are now going into the studio. Scott Penfold on why that's the most important thing anyone has said about the next Slipknot album.
