It's crazy what one can find when cleaning out their attic. David Jolly, for example, unearthed a rare recording of metal legend Ozzy Osbourne rehearsing songs that would find their way on his first solo album, Blizzard of Ozz.

Found on a cassette labelled Ozzie Last Day, the 12-minute recording captures a jam session between Randy Rhoades, Bob Daisley and the Prince of darkness himself. As Rhoades riffs the blues and Daisley provides the groove, Ozzy tries out different lyrics to the tune, with his signature, gravelly voice piercing through the speakers.


The news of this newly discovered recording came via Sky News, who interviewed Jolly in his studio. They also reached out to Daisley, the sole surviving musician from that jam, who confirmed the recording's authenticity. ''I don’t know if we were auditioning a drummer and just loosening up a bit, or we’re just clowning about. But it wasn’t a song we were working on because we had definite songs by then, we had several songs,” he says.

Courtney Love to Dave Grohl: ‘Just Say We’re Cool’

Courtney Love sat down for a sprawling conversation with Billy Corgan that covered everything from their shared hate of Kim Gordon to Marlon Brando, who the Hole lead singer thought was her grandfather for years. Toward the end of the nearly two-hour chat, the topic turned to Love and Dave Grohl‘s extremely rocky relationship dating back to the Nirvana days when she dated (and married) the band’s frontman, the late Kurt Cobain.

When discussing fellow friends and musicians speaking ill of them in the media during Corgan’s podcast The Magnificent Others, Love brought up Grohl, who she appeared to make a truce with in 2014 when Nirvana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “Come out with it and just say we’re cool,” said Love, referencing Grohl. “Be man enough to man up, because you’re the Uberman. [You have] all the straight males and we’re cool, but you won’t say it because you’re afraid you’ll lose your audience. You’re afraid it’ll affect your relationship with literal Paul McCartney.” In 2014, Love criticized a 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert performance between the surviving members of Nirvana and Paul McCartney, saying (among other things) that she was not “not amused” by the Beatles member’s involvement.
