OZZY OSBORNE
A few weeks ago, "The Prince of Darkness," lead singer of Black Sabbath, and all-around metal head, teamed up with Justin Bieber (no joke) to shoot a Best Buy ad for Super Bowl XLV. The 62-year-old singer, who many consider the biggest metal icon in the history of the genre, was recently on A Different Spin and was quoted saying, "Who the f*** is Justin Bieber?"
Polar opposites in nearly every category, Justin Bieber and Ozzy Osbourne have kept the details of the television commercial tightly sealed, although there are some pictures of the two dressed in "tron-like" attire, seemingly having a good time on the set.
The large, gothic ballroom in the Angel Orensanz Center boiled in a sinister red light that illuminated the decaying cathedral backdrop with its curling, cringing Corinthian collumns and rust-colored archways as Austin, Texas' psychedelic-rock group the Black Angels took the stage for a secret, invite-only show to give the masses a taste of their new album, Phosphene Dream, which officially debuts on September 14.
Already making a heavy showing at the SXSW festival earlier this summer, and continuing onto the Reading Leeds Festival in the UK just two weeks ago, the Angels have fulfilled the fall-tour prerequisite by captivating festival junkies in the summer months, and have thrown a glob of icing on the proverbial cake with their new album debuting this month. Taking much of their influence from the iconic psychedelic group The Velvet Underground (including their name and band logo), the Angels throw together a darker, more penetrating twist.
