I can't believe that I had to post this. Are there really not any other Joni Mitchell fans here?

I thought the following story is funny as hell. No image was included though.


After departing Guns n Roses , another high profile opportunity came his way, this time as the guitar player in Ozzy Osbourne’s band. Says Ozzy:



"I tried out that Buckethead guy. I met with him and asked him to work with me, but only if he got rid of the fucking bucket. So I came back a bit later, and he's wearing this green fucking Martian's-hat thing! I said, 'Look, just be yourself.' He told me his name was Brian, so I said that's what I'd call him. He says, 'No one calls me Brian except my mother.' So I said, 'Pretend I'm your mum then!'

I haven't even got out of the room and I'm already playing fucking mind games with the guy. What happens if one day he's gone and there's a note saying, 'I've been beamed up'? Don't get me wrong, he's a great player. He plays like a motherfucker."

Ozzy is notoriously image conscious (although it may come from Sharon). They say Jake got the gig over Lynch because he showed up at the audition in total rockstar mode. George featured a shaved head and looked like a punk rocker at the time.

That said, Jake was no slouch on guitar. He was the total package.

Eine Liebe, ein Versprechen

One love, one promise


Sagt’ ich komm zurück zu dir

Said I would come back to you


Nun, ich muss es leider brechen

Well, I must sadly break it


Seine Kugel steckt in mir

His bullet is stuck in me


Eine Liebe, zwei Pistolen

One love, two guns


Eine zielt mir ins Gesicht

One points into my face


Er sagt, ich hätte dich gestohlen

He says I stole you


Dass du mich liebst Weiss er nicht

He doesn’t know That you love me


Roter Sand und zwei Patronen

Red sand and two rounds


Eine stirbt im Pulverkuss

One dies in a kiss of gunpowder


Die zweite soll ihr Ziel nicht schonen

The second shall not spare its target


Steckt jetzt tief in meiner Brust

Now is stuck deeply in my chest


Eine Liebe, ein Versprechen

One love, one promise


Ach das Blut läuft aus dem Mund

Oh the blood runs from the mouth


Und keiner wird mich rächen

And no one will avenge me


Sinnlos gehe ich zugrund

Senselessly I perish


Eine Liebe zwei Pistolen

One love, two guns


Einer konnte schneller ziehen

One could draw faster


Nun, ich bin es nicht gewesen

Well, it was not me


Jetzt gehörst du ihm

Now you belong to him


Roter Sand und zwei Patronen

Red sand and two rounds


Eine stirbt im Pulverkuss

One dies in a kiss of gunpowder


Die zweite sollt’ ihr Ziel nicht schonen

The second which didn’t spare its target


Steckt jetzt tief in meiner Brust

Now is stuck deeply in my chest


Roter Sand und weisse Tauben

Red sand and doves


Laben sich an meinem Blut

Refresh themselves on my blood


Am Ende gibt es doch ein Ende

At the end there is but an end


Bin ich doch zu etwas gut

I am good for something finally


Roter Sand und zwei Patronen

Red sand and two rounds


Eine stirbt im Pulverkuss

One dies in a kiss of gunpowder


Die zweite sollt’ ihr Ziel nicht schonen

The second which didn’t spare its target


Steckt jetzt tief in meiner Brust

Now is stuck deeply in my chest
