Steve Vai says he once recorded an entire album with Ozzy ... (Guitar World)

The pair originally met in the '90s to write a track for Osbourne's Ozzmosis album, but got “carried away” and recorded a “real heavy” record as well.

Unfortunately for guitar fans, it doesn’t sound likely the unnamed Vai/Osbourne album will get a release any time soon, with Vai admitting he isn’t currently in control of the record’s rights. “And then we started scheming, ‘Hey, let's make a new record!’, and all that was fine and good, and we got excited about it until the hammer came down. We're already into it for this much money, and Vai is expensive,’ so it worked out perfect, really.” No, you've just got to take a song from Vai and finish your record. Yeah, that's not me as you know, but I had to be accessible, so I thought, ‘I'm going to use an octave divider on everything’; I mean, all the rhythm.” “I don't have any control over it or rights to it, obviously, but we did record some pretty good stuff.”

We're already into it for this much money, and Vai is expense,' so it worked out perfect, really." I had already written it, and it was already done — it was a GASH track — and I thought, 'Well, maybe he'd like this', and I reworked it a bit, but it's on the shelf."

It was really just to write some songs for Ozzy's record that he would then take and go use for his record, and whoever he was working with on the record would record it. "Ozzy had recorded about half of [Ozzmosis] for the record company, and Sharon [Osbourne, Ozzy's wife and manager] and the label wanted to get him together with some different songwriters to just get some more songs," Vai explained. And then we started scheming, 'Hey, let's make a new record.' And all that was fine and good, and we got excited about it until the hammer came down, and they basically said, 'What are you doing? "The interesting thing about that stuff we recorded from a guitar perspective is all of my rhythm guitar parts, I use an octave divider [guitar effect], and that the record doesn't sound like anything else," Vai said. "Well, I'm sitting on a whole Ozzy record, and it's like the Gash record," Vai told Eonmusic. In a new interview with [Eonmusic](https://www.eonmusic.co.uk/steve-vai-eonmusic-interview-february-2023-part-2.html), Vai revealed that he and the Prince of Darkness banged out a full record back in the mid-Nineties, when the two musicians were paired up together to write a couple songs for Osbourne's 1995 solo record, Ozzmosis.
