Ozzy Osbourne auditioned 50 guitarists, one played while eating a sword, and then came Randy Rhoads
Eddie Van Halen clones on steroids Live Events The legendary pair that changed American music (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel When Ozzy Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979, he wasn't just out of a band but was suddenly in charge of building one from scratch. 'I was jet-lagged to the max, arguing with some idiot guitar player,' Osbourne later recalled. 'I just thought, 'What the hell am I doing here?''The rock legend, who died at age 76, shared the chaotic details of his post-Sabbath solo debut in a 1990 Guitar World interview that has resurfaced in recent tributes. Osbourne, newly solo and emotionally wrecked, began auditioning musicians for his new band. But the process became anything but screened more than 50 guitarists during the search. Many, he said, came in with bizarre gimmicks. One man played standing on his head. Another shredded guitar while eating a sword. Others insisted on changing keys or argued about basic instructions.'There were all these Eddie Van Halen clones on steroids,' Osbourne said. 'One guy even played like Eddie while eating a f***ing sword.'One auditioner even breakdanced while playing. 'Some of them looked like they should've been in a sideshow at the circus,' Osbourne joked. 'Besides being a great guitarist, you've got to look the part.'Just when he was ready to give up, he came across a soft-spoken, classically trained guitarist named Randy Rhoads . Osbourne wasn't convinced at first. 'He was so frail, tiny, and effeminate,' he said. 'I thought, 'Oh no, oh hell.''But when Rhoads plugged into a tiny amp and began playing, Osbourne, even in a drugged haze, was floored. 'Even in my semi-consciousness, he blew my mind,' he said. He hired Rhoads on the spot, though he had to be reminded the next day that it wasn't a decision proved monumental. Rhoads co-wrote and performed on Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman , two of the most influential metal albums of all time. Their partnership ended tragically when Rhoads died in a plane crash in 1982 at just 25.

'Great Jeans': Sydney Sweeney campaign fuels American Eagle rally
American Eagle Outfitters surged 10 per cent on Thursday after unveiling a new denim campaign with Sydney Sweeney, as the apparel retailer bets on the "Euphoria" and "The White Lotus" actress to reconnect with Gen Z shoppers and boost sales. The company has partnered with Sweeney for its fall season denim collection that includes a limited-edition denim jacket as well as a "The Sydney Jean." The campaign, called "Sydney Sweeney Has Great (American Eagle) Jeans," is the company's latest effort to revive demand as it navigates muted consumer spending and higher potential costs due to tariffs. The retail industry in the United States has been struggling to spur demand as consumers grappling with financial constraints cut back on non-essential buys, including apparel and accessories. In May, American Eagle, which primarily sources from China, pulled its annual forecasts due to tariff uncertainty. "(The campaign) is its bid to stand out more and make some noise. Denim is popular right now, so putting money behind marketing it makes sense for American Eagle," GlobalData managing director Neil Saunders said. The Sweeney partnership is not the first time a celebrity tie-up has helped drive shares of a company. In 2020, Crocs shares jumped after singer Justin Bieber teased a collaboration with the shoe maker. American Eagle has previously teamed up with celebrities, including tennis player Coco Gauff and actress Jenna Ortega. "Well known personalities are always an easier way to tell a story quickly. It is one of the reasons athlete endorsements work so well," BMO Capital Markets analyst Simeon Siegel said. Sweeney's campaign, which launched on Wednesday and is reportedly the company's most expensive campaign to date, will also run across the exosphere of Las Vegas's 3D display orb Sphere. American Eagle's stock was discussed on retail trader-focused social media forums including Stocktwits and Reddit, indicating interest among small-time traders who have driven up shares of retailer Kohl's and other highly shorted names in recent days. Short interest in the company, whose shares were trading at $12 on Thursday, stood at 12.2 per cent of public float, according to LSEG data.
