The Production Of Ozzy Osbourne's New Album Is 50 Percent, Robert Trujillo And Taylor Hawkins Are Guest Musicians

JAKARTA - Ozzy Osbourne is working on a new album. This was revealed by producer Andrew Watt to Guitar World.

Watt is the figure behind the production of Ozzy Osbourne's last album, Ordinary Man. Now, they are back to collaborating.

"We're halfway there," he said. "But, you know, it's hard with COVID-19 and everything to keep it safe. So this time it took a little longer," said Watt.

Watt explained, there are several songs that are eight or nine minutes long. And he was very excited to work on it.

Like Ordinary Man featuring Watt on guitar, Duff McKagan (Guns N 'Roses) on bass, and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) on drums, Ozzy's next album will feature guest appearances from a number of well-known musicians.

"There are a lot of people involved," said Watt. "I couldn't be sure until the end, but I started doing a lot of basic songs with Chad and Robert Trujillo (Metallica), who used to play in Ozzy's band."

"And Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) came in and played too - it's kind of like hitting the 80s Ozzy, in a great way. And I think it's really cool for rock fans to be able to hear a half album with Chad Smith on the drums, then half other you can hear Taylor Hawkins. "

Watt went on to say that it was too early to discuss a possible musical direction for Ozzy's new album.
