TESTAMENT Guitarist ALEX SKOLNICK On His Time With OZZY OSBOURNE - "The Whole Thing Just Had This Big Mystery To It"

In a new interview with eonmusic, Alex Skolnick talks about his brief stint with Ozzy Osbourne, how Gary Moore influenced one of his most infamous solos, and Metal Allegiance's upcoming show at the House of Blues in Anaheim. An excerpt follows...

eonmusic: We're running short on time, and I have to ask you about the Ozzy gig in 1996; it almost happened, and you even played a gig in Nottingham with him, didn't you?

Alex Skolnick: "That's exactly right. Yeah, he was going through guitar players apparently like crazy. And yeah, and it was never spelled out. It was one of those things like; 'what? I'm not sure what's going on. I know I'm invited to fly to London'. The whole thing just had this big mystery to it. But I gradually figured out; 'okay, there's an audition process happening'. And I don't think they were flying a lot of players out, I think they were trying a lot of players out that were based in the UK, but they flew out a few players who were known at the time, that had a reputation, and I guess because I was known from the magazines, and from the work with Testament. And yeah, it was just being in that world for by about a week, like the audition, like to stick around; 'we're going to keep you around; there's going to be some rehearsals. Oh, we're going to do a show'."

eonmusic: How did you feel it went?

Skolnick: "It's kind of a long story. I've told it before, but it seemed like it went really well, and the crew and everybody said he looked really happy on stage. But I just always got a sense from Sharon [Osbourne] that, you know, she was really looking to replace Zakk Wylde. And, you know, she made suggestions about how low, how to hold the guitar and lowering the guitar, because Zakk, and Slash and other players, they play with the guitar down, and that's never been my thing. And just knowing what I know about the entertainment business now, I think, yeah, I think she was used to that."

Metal Allegiance began as a celebration of heavy metal, powered by the almost tribal bond shared between the extreme music community’s most revered trailblazers, armed with a list of contributors onstage (and off) that read like a Wikipedia entry on the genre itself.

On January 25, the band will re-assemble at The House Of Blues in Anaheim, California for the band's 10th anniversary celebration (which will also coincide with the return of the Winter NAMM show). The night will be sponsored by Dean Guitars, ddrum and Heavys Headphones, with opening acts being Dieth, Held Hostage and Quor.

The last time Metal Allegiance played at The House Of Blues Anaheim was in 2020, right before the world shut down.

“When Metal Allegiance first came together in 2014, no one could have guessed that ten years later, we’d be planning this anniversary show. The world feels different now than it did then, but we’re still here, music still unites and that is cause to celebrate. Among the many MA highlights over the past decade have been our shows in Anaheim, which always create a lot of great memories. This time will be no exception and no better way to mark our ten-year milestone. See you there!” - Alex Skolnick

Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster. Also available is a VIP upgrade package, which will include:

• Early access into the venue
• Exclusive pre-show Meet & Greet with members of Metal Allegiance
• Personal photograph & autograph signing with members of Metal Allegiance
• Collectible show poster (which they'll happily sign for you)
• Official Meet & Greet VIP laminate
• Crowd-fee access to the merch booth

VIP packages can be purchased here. Please keep in mind that this is a VIP upgrade only. A ticket to the concert is required to attend pre-show meet & greet.

“I never in my life imagined a band like MA would exist, let alone write and record one record… here we are a few records, an EP and many shows/tours later celebrating our 10th year of existence. Pretty surreal. It’s been a minute since the ‘Core4’ have been in the same room. Excited to see my brothers, jam and laugh w/ them again. Only one place to kick off the festivities and that's our home away from home at the House of Blues in Anaheim Cal-i-forn-i-A.” - Mark Menghi

Since the band's inception in 2014, Metal Allegiance is comprised of the core 4 members of (Mark Menghi – bass, songwriter, Alex Skolnick – guitars, David Ellefson – bass, and Mike Portnoy – drums), and has issued two full-lengths (2015's self-titled debut and 2018's Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty) and an EP (2016's Fallen Heroes).

In addition to Menghi, Portnoy, Skolnick, and Ellefson, the show will feature John Bush (Armored Saint), Chuck Billy (Testament), Troy Sanders (Mastodon), Brann Dailor (Mastodon), Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), Bobby Blitz (Overkill), Gary Holt (Exodus/Slayer), Doc Coyle (Bad Wolves / God Forbid), Hel Pyre (Nervosa) and Chris Poland (ex-Megadeth), among others in addition to their usual unannounced surprise guests.

Members of Metal Allegiance are certainly looking forward to the show:

“Metal Allegiance’s annual Anaheim shows are always one of the metal events of the year! This will be our return to Anaheim for the first time since our last show there weeks before the world shut down at the beginning of 2020, so I can’t wait to get back and throw down with my metal brothers and sisters once again! \m/” - Mike Portnoy

“It’s hard to believe it's been 10 years since we started Metal Allegiance out on the Motorhead Motorboat Cruise, but here we are, a couple of albums and a whole bunch of shows later, celebrating the strength and resilience of heavy metal together. Looking forward to the show as everything is back in the swing during NAMM 2024!” - David Ellefson

“Great to be part of this killer 10-year event with MA. The head-banging doesn't get any better than this!” - Bobby Blitz

“I am thrilled to get the band back together for a 10th anniversary Metal Allegiance throwdown! We look forward to another memorable show with all our friends!” - Troy Sanders

“So stoked to be able to return once again to Metal Allegiance for the 10-year anniversary of the world's foremost collection of metal maniacs, all sharing a stage together! It’s been way too long, I am fired up for this! Bring it on!” - Gary Holt

"""Она давала советы о том, на какой высоте держать гитару"""

resurgamresponses, когда читаю такие новости, думаю, что п*здец Оззи куколд... Ладно, она менеджер, организует туры, следит за баблом, но хули она в подбор музыкантов вмешивается!? Она чё - участник группы, ей на сцену с этим гитаристом выходить? Да и что это за критерий отбора - "на какой высоте держать гитару"? Какая в жопу разница, на какой высоте Ван Хален или Джефф Бек держат гитару, если они играют на миллион световых лет впереди грёбаного Закка? П*здец просто...

Не подошёл группе по имиджу. Вполне бывает такое в жизни, "мы вам позвоним".

А мамочка Шэрон, помнится, как-то раз даже из-за какой-то своей сиюминутной прихоти, играючи людскими судьбами и карьерами (это было еще задолго до появления в составе Закка Уайлда), заставила Оззи после гибели Рэнди Роадса отказаться от дальнейших услуг басиста и барабанщика (кажись, мегапрофессиональных Боба Дейсли и Ли Керслейка) и даже впоследствии перезаписать сыгранные ими на альбомах Оззи партии с привлечением других музыкантов. Когда же Дейсли и Керслейк попытались однажды хотя бы отстоять собственные авторские права, они узнали от Шэрон буквально следующее: "Нет никакой группы Оззи Осборна! ОЗЗИ ОСБОРН - ЭТО ТОЛЬКО ОЗЗИ ОСБОРН!!!"
