Three of the songs “One More Time” and “Jump The Moon,” plus the never-before-released “Hand of The Enemy” are from the SCREAM sessions. The other four songs are live tracks “Bark at the Moon,” “Let Me Hear You Scream” and “No More Tears,” as well as the Black Sabbath nugget “Fairies Wear Boots that were recorded this year in Folkestone and Birmingham in the U.K. The package will also contain video content including the Jonas Akerlund - directed video for “Let Me Hear You Scream” and behind-the-scenes footage from the set of the video, along with footage documenting the making of the SCREAM album.

SCREAM, which entered the charts in June in the Top Ten in more than 10 countries, is OZZY’s first album in three years and 10th studio album overall. The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer recorded most of the album at his Los Angeles home studio, The Bunker. It was produced by OZZY and Kevin Churko, both of whom did the same honors for OZZY’s 2007 worldwide million-seller Black Rain. OZZY co-wrote all the songs on SCREAM, primarily with Churko. The album’s first single “Let Me Hear You Scream” hit #1 on both Active Rock charts (for two weeks) and #1 at Mainstream Rock (for 11 weeks). SCREAM’s newly released second single “Life Won’t Wait,” is being cited in various reviews as one of the album’s standout tracks. The video for the hard-hitting and melodic life-affirming song was directed by OZZY’s son, Jack Osbourne, and was recently shot at various locations in Los Angeles, including a cemetery in Altadena, CA.
For SCREAM, OZZY has embarked on an 18-month world tour with his band: new guitar player Gus G., bassist Blasko, drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboardist Adam Wakeman. His U.S. dates kicked off with an August 12 performance at the 70th anniversary of the Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota and he launched this year’s six–city OZZFest on August 14. Overseas shows will be followed by additional U.S. dates, details of which will be announced in the coming weeks.

Tony Mills from TNT suffers heart-attack, but in recovery
Tony Mills, former vocalist with Shy and presently fronting the band TNT, suffered a heart-attack at Oslo Airport Saturday afternoon on the way to a gig with TNT. Mills is now in recovery and was moved out of intensive care Monday. Mills wishes to thank personnel who have helped him at Oslo Airport and also those in the intensive unit at the hospital. Mills and TNT thank all fans and friends for the support in the last two days.
“I look forward to coming back and singing!” says Mills.
I'd like to also take this opportunity to wish Tony a speedy recovery and good health.
Sammy Hagar talks new Chickenfoot and autobiography
Sammy Hagar has been talking to Billboard’s Gary Graff recently about the latest Chickenfoot activities and his own autobiography.
Although Chickenfoot has new songs written and some more music, the toughest thing for the line up is whether or not Chad Smith will be a part of the next Chickenfoot development.
Smith is currently with his regular band, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, writing new material for their next album.
Hagar tells Billboard, "Once they start recording, Chad's never going to be able to get a break. If he does, he'll get a couple weeks here, a couple days there, which is not really enough to devote to Chickenfoot. Then when they're done with [the album] they're gonna go on the road for a year and a half. So we either have to get a new drummer or wait for Chad...which is unfair to Chickenfoot. It's too good a band."
Hagar goes on to say that he, Smith and rest of Chickenfoot -- guitarist Joe Satriani and founding Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony -- are not frustrated by the situation. "We care, but at the same time [Chickenfoot] is not mandatory," Hagar explains. "It's not like we feel like, 'Hey, this is our only chance in life.' Everyone's already been there, done that. Chickenfoot is not our bread and butter, and I think that's really important."
Meanwhile, Hagar and his band the Wabos have been out on the road supporting Aerosmith. He has no recording plans of his own at the moment but is working on an autobiography, "Red," with San Francisco music journalist Joel Selvin that he promises will be "really revealing, right down to just about everything you'd want to know" -- including his tenures in Montrose and Van Halen.
