Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2001 02:52:56 GMT From: Ozzy Osbourne To: Ozzy Osbourne Subject: OZZY OSBOURNE NEWSLETTER - October 19, 2001 OZZY OSBOURNE NEWSLETTER - October 19, 2001 _______________________________________________________________ OZZY IS ON THE WAY TO #1...AND ENYA MAY WELL F*CK IT ALL UP! Here's the deal. It's either Ozzy or Enya at #1 next week in the Billboard Album Charts. His Royal Highness, King Ozzy er....uh.....Enya. That's what the pundits are predicting: either the Godfather of Heavy Metal gets his first ever #1 U.S. chart position or it goes to Enya. Everybody get out before the end of Sunday (that's when the charts end their week) and patronize your local record store. Let's give Ozzy the one milestone he's yet to conquer: #1 Album! Put the ROCK on top of the charts! If you're thinking of buying this record sometime in the near future, buy it before Sunday night and help Ozzy lock down #1. _______________________________________________________________ VH-1 FUN NEXT WEEK VH-1's top-rated Ozzy Behind the Music special just got a little longer. An additional 30 minutes of footage was shot during and after Ozzfest and will be added to the original 60 minute special when the show premieres Oct. 28 at 8:30pm. It will be re-broadcast the same night at 11pm. Also, VH-1's new show Fan Club will premiere its Ozzy episode Oct. 29 at 10pm. _______________________________________________________________ "GETS ME THROUGH" ADDED TO KROQ-FM, LOS ANGELES Notorious trend-setting L.A. radio station "World Famous KROQ" added the Madman's "Gets Me Through" single this week, a breakthrough for both Ozzy and the radio station. KROQ, born out of the 1980's New Wave and college rock boom, ushered in the "Alternative Rock" craze of the early-to-mid-90's, popularizing such bands as Nirvana, Sublime, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and has, till the last three years, shied away from playing "Hard Rock" and "Heavy Metal". But Ozzfest changed all that and now the station is pumping out the jams made popular as a result of the success of the world's biggest traveling music festival. Old school Flock of Seagulls fans are probably having seizures right now driving down the 405 freeway as "Gets Me Through" sears the airwaves, but f*ck 'em. It's about time we got our Ozzy on KROQ! Request "Gets Me Through" on KROQ, call 1.800.520.1067. _________________________________________________________ WIN A TRIP TO SEE OZZY NEW YEAR'S EVE!
