It's pure Black Label. It's about violence and booze. That's all it is. There is no plan.
If I sit down with an electric guitar, what's going to come out are Sabbath/Zeppelin type riffs, but if I'm sitting behind a piano late at night, I might write something like 'Desperado.' You're not going to write 'Desperado' between a wall of Marshalls and thumping, crushing volume.
As much as I love heavy riffs, I like The Eagles, Neil Young, Elton John, Crowded House.
For Black Label Special Opps, adversity is what you thrive on. General Patton is a huge fan favorite in Black Label.
If I'm playing with Ozzy it's just a guitar thing. But with the vocals I feel like I'm studying for the SATs.
Ozzy has dyslexia.
