"I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate." Those are the words of Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor. Since 1994 the band has been with Interscope but have fulfilled that contract. Interscope has made no comment on the matter so far. Reznor stated on the bands website that soon there will be an announcement as to the band's plans for 2008. This year they have been touring behind their cd 'Year Zero'.
Ozzy Osbourne, however, has already shared some of his 2008 plans. He stated yesterday (Rock. 8) that he will headline Ozzfest, as far as he knows. There has been some talk, or rumours actually, that next years fest would be without Ozzy. That just wouldn't be cool, don't you agree? He did not make it clear whether there would be any Black Sabbath projects, as those plans were up in the air. He did say he wanted to make a new cd with the band. He said he will be recording a new cd next year, either with Sabbath or with his own band. What's not on Ozzy's agenda is a book, as he said he can't remember things, and a documentary that's in the works about the late Randy Rhoads.
Police guitarist Andy Summers told reporters yesterday in Dublin, Ireland that it makes sense to him that the Police record another album. Summers stated that the band is sharp right now, playing exceptionally well, but as of now there has been no discussion between the band of a new album. C'Mon guys, let's do it! Summers said that the tour is physically,mentally and emotionally draining but they are having a good time. Summers, Sting and Stewart Copeland are currently on their 30th anniversary tour that goes into 2008.Rocktober 9th birthdays: Jackson Browne is 59; Sharon Osbourne is 55; Sean Lennon is 32;
If John Lennon were alive he'd be 67 years old today.
