But is there anyone who doesn't!
Ozzy Osbourne has made his selection as to who he thinks should portray him if his new memoir, I Am Ozzy, ever makes it to the big screen:
Johnny Depp!
The Prince of Darkness confesses that there are some folks working on scripts and Ozzy would just be delighted if Johnny would take a read once they are finished. When asked why he chose Johnny to play the Godfather of Metal, Ozzy replied:
"He's one of the few actors who knows about rock 'n' roll who does a really good English accent."
That he is, Ozzy!
It certainly would be an interesting role, but who would play Sharon?
Any ideas?
Maybe Rachel Weisz?

Here comes your guides, steeped in chronos particles and trailing Tachyons behind them. It’s the fabulous Stevetheone and loyal Igor. (*SPIRAL CLAPPING & ZOOMING IN – OUT DOPPLERS*) Hello everyone. You join us in a heavily guarded and secret location at the heart of ye ole Worcester. The brothers have allowed Igor access as long as we speak in the correct manner. Please join us in rocking out with these heavenly tunes. To celebrate the time of year we start off with some Wizzard and I wish it could be Christmas every day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoxQ4Ul_DME Yes folks, it’s the ‘70s and our first request is from Calicoyte. Hope you’re safe and secure as we’ve got some Talking Heads for you. Psycho Killer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTYz9dsbF7c The darling (if strict) mistress of the Wednesday Request Show (any decade) Kimsy has instructed us here that the original version of The Saints are Coming by the Skids is superior to all others. We here agree O’mistress! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLT3PfNlIfA Just to show that high culture even made its way into the charts of the ‘70s and because Elizium has asked for it, here’s Kate Bush with Wuthering Heights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW3gKKiTvjs 2 more tracks from the ‘70s and it’s time to go mad with these requests from RockChick & Betty Curse. Froth & foam with Black Sabbaths’ Paranoia while your skin crawls with this scary message from Bauhaus – Bela Lugoi’s Dead! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QV-8hyiUioI&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq7xyjU-jsU
(*SPEEDING CAR WHEELS & QUICK CHANGE OUTFIT*) Rock on your crazy folks. We’ve escaped from those heavy monks to this C18th coffeehouse. Igor is setting up our equipment and we’re going to rock like it’s ‘80s all over again! Time to jolly you all up with Bruce Springsteens’ Santa Claus is coming to Town! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yErhglOXIxM I hope there are a couple of fit, young women near CreamCovered Geordie as he’s likely to need their help after this track. Here’s everyone’s’ pinup – Sam Fox and Touch Me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiuimDNlyuQ Igor just made use of a bucket of ice but yours truly exercise a stiff upper lip. Time for a more serious track and who better to suggest one than ELObessive. Got your Human League MirrorMan all ready dude. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMu1T_Tg5Fw Sweet mistress it’s Kimsy again and boys she loves the eighties with those hot suits and naughtiness rampant. While we discuss what’s to do you can all listen to Stone Roses Sally Cinnamon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnMiNJL3utw Looks like Calicoyte has moved with the times and kept those boyish good looks. What’s his secret? Why listening daily to Alphaville Forever Young song. LOL. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7CuJ8cR9sg We’re going to crank up the volume for this next one. It’s from an ‘80s classic band this particular track has come from Rob78 (not to be confused with Rob77 or rob79 folks). Here’s U2, A day without me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF1rqJ40YyU An all action figure with adjustable arms and moving arms just flew in, upsetting wigs & papers all over the place. It part of the exclusive range of collectable toys from Rocket Queen (only you can save us Rocket Queen from the tyranny of….) range. It seems this hot heroine requires some BOW WOW WOW to foil another evil plan. Hope I Want Candy does the trick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMICD3aMZpw
This next request is for all those followers of NWOBHM out there. Here are the poster boys of it all as requested by David Bruce. Lets Run to the Hills with Iron Maiden! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geHLdg_VNww
Only 1 more to go and this is from Ian Lawn. Hope you enjoy this Scritti Politi track. Oh Patti. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYXWzxsJw6E
That’s all for this year folks. Thanks to you all who have request songs. Hope you’ve enjoyed the shows and here’s to a successTags: U2 Talking Heads Kate Bush Bauhaus Black Sabbath The Skids Bow Wow Wow Iron Maiden Wizzard

(283 views)Once more we at the Wednesday Request Show are prepared to go where no sightly b-actor and show has ever gone before. Phasers are locked and the transporter is operational. Tune in to see our intrepid landing party discover unknown aliens and great music. Here they come, Captain Stevetheone and loyal Redshirt Igor! (*SHIMMERING SPECIAL & SOUND EFFECTS*).
DJ log 108191 Myself and executive redshirt produce find ourselves in a strange and alien landscape. Locators have named it Worcester on Wednesday. Specialist Madonna report. This use to be your playground? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjaQjaGYmqM
Intriguing. An extremely attractive native has just come up to me, a right Sexy Minx, with a map. Looks like she's 3 Doors Down and Here without you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TPeR8Aq6BQ
Unfortunately we do not have time for such exploration as the head of the locals, one Snow White Queen had granted us the rights to visit here. She has the great Bangles and naturally I said we'll Be with You. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHNudFbtnY0
Next we are to visit the land of the Pixies to help them with a troublesome young lass, a real Pixie Freak. Ambassador Abba has a cunning plan involving the renown Dancing Queen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REElUors1pQ
Looks like we have learnt an invaluable lesson there. Here to give a full report is Commander Diavolina on what occured while we get Airbourne. Too much too young, too fast! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQibZA0vZGs
A tricky assignment for us next as the next planet has been linked to an off shoot of His Infernal Highness. Our guide is the Demon Buttercup. She's to take us to see Ugly Kid Joe. Accortding to our intelligence he's So Damn Cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpIbMujYLFg
That mission was a complete washout. Luckly our head of Communications, Tezac (a right RadioHead) spotted it was a trap as the person we were introduced to was a complete Creep! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFkzRNyygfk
We have been lured to the Planet ELObessive by the Steve Miller Band. In this dense rain forest we have been offered Jungle Love. Time for Igor to sacrifice himself I think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQiG5UPk5PU
Luckly I managed to escape with the help of science officer Tony *I DON'T DO THE EARS* Brandon. We now have a mission given to us by Admiral Paula Cole. Where have all the Cowboys Gone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OaYzZ8VEok
After much scouring of the galaxy we are no closer to finding out the answer. Wait, what's that Navigator? A Black Rainbow in the deeps of interstellar space. Only one force can do that, a Black Sabbath which Turns up the Night! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZLB9XWKLY8
That's all for now folks. Remember to tune in next week when we might just find out what happens to our enterprising duo and just why Igor keeps on coming back. lol. To give you a clue Battered Rose has suggest you listen to this wee tune by ZZ Top - Rough Boy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1qkUZZ1aho

(255 views)Six Connecticut women have been arrested for allegedly attacking a karaoke singer. We take a look at some of the most terrifying assaults on amateur bar-room crooners.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVx2u65Ybho&feature=player_embedded
There have been many attacks on karaoke singers over the last few years, suggesting that the office-party pastime is more dangerous than many assume. Here are some of the worst.
• A 24-year-old Wisconsin man with the possibly apposite name of Kyle Drinkwine was sentenced to 60 days in jail after attacking two men over their performance of one of his favourite heavy metal songs in November last year.
He throttled James Mischler, 28, and his friend Cyrus Kozub, after heckling them as they sang “Holy Diver”, the title track on the 1983 album by former Black Sabbath lead singer Ronnie James Dio’s band Dio.
Caught by police after a short chase, Drinkwine was arrested and charged with battery and disorderly conduct.
Mr Mischler, who admitted in an interview to insulting Drinkwine’s jewellery after being heckled, said he was worried about reports saying his performance had been less than heartfelt. He said: "I genuinely love Ronnie James Dio."
• Stadium rockers Coldplay inspire many different emotions in fans and detractors, but this August 2007 incident may be the only recorded occasion of Coldplay-related violence.
A Seattle, Washington, man’s performance of Chris Martin and co’s breakthrough single Yellow allegedly triggered an attack by a 21-year-old woman.
Lindsay Lawrence, described by a witness as a “little hippie girl”, is said to have assaulted the unnamed victim after reportedly saying: "Oh, no, not that song. I can't stand that song."
She allegedly went on to inform the singer that his "singing sucked" and that the song "f---ing sucked," before punching him twice in the face.
According to a witness in her rage it took three people to hold her down, and she is said to have headbutted a police officer several times before being handcuffed.
• An unnamed British tourist in Bulgaria is said to have become enraged at a local duo’s “tuneless” version of We Are The Champions by Queen.
The man, 40, attacked the pair, and started smashing up the bar around him.
His karaoke-induced rage was so powerful that local police required backup to restrain him.
• A 58-year-old Thai man apparently became so enraged by karaoke parties at a local house that he broke in and shot eight people dead.
He said: “I warned these people about their noisy karaoke parties. I said if they carried on I would shoot them.”
It is noted that a favourite song at the parties was John Denver’s Country Roads. A neighbour said that the song was chosen “over and over again”.
• Staying in south-east Asia, more than one shooting incident has taken place in Cambodian karaoke bars over renditions of Frank Sinatra’s My Way. The country’s premier is said to have tried to shut down the country’s karaoke bars after an outbreak of violence.
• My Way seems to be a dangerous choice of song in some parts of the world. A singer in a bar in San Mateo in the Philippines was reportedly shot dead for performing it off-key.
The Philippine Star said that Romy Baligula, 29, was mid-way through the song when another man, Robilito Ortega, told him he was out of tune.
Mr Baligula ignored the heckle, so Mr Ortega allegedly pulled out a .38 calibre pistol and shot the singer in the chest, killing him instantly.
Also in the Philippines, a singer apparently shot two members of the audience, killing one, after they jeered his performance of the song. And a Sinatra-loving crowd is said to have beaten a singer to death over a substandard performance.
So many fights have broken out in Manila over My Way that the tune has been taken off the machines at many karaoke bars to prevent further outbreaks.

(200 views)Hello, my dear friends – well, guess what, it’s time for yet another trip down SOML (Sweet Old Memory Lane), as I’m off for another little jaunt. Will be back on AR next Monday (10th August), but in the meantime here are some more great tunes from that golden era of rock ‘n’ pop music that you all know I’m so fond of!
First up, a forgotten gem from the Beach Boys - hard to believe, listening to it again, that it was one of their least successful singles ever ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdrN89Vxu6I
And then, those masters of heavy metal, Black Sabbath, who first taught me this fundamental factoid about fairies’ footwear ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug5HH3Nu_CY
And while we're in this rockin’ frame of mind, how about this absolute corker from Hawkwind? Ahhhh, this was one of the staples of my school’s disco dances in those far-off days … they say nostalgia ain’t what it was – but it certainly is for LOM ;)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoZ_Lg21b14
Talking of music you can dance to ... this one from the Trammps always makes me want to jig around the room. And what a bass line!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaPjL4r-Z6o
And finally, a classic tune which I had always thought was written by that songwriting maestro, Mr. Jimmy Webb, but have just checked and it’s, er, not! Someone called Larry Weiss deserves the credit for it – beautifully sung by Mr. Glen Campbell. Talk about a feel-good song!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p8wDhK5LyY&feature=related
Hope you enjoy at least some of these timeless classics! Have a great week, dear friends, take care, and see you again soon J

(314 views)Following the success of our mini-festival last weekend, me and fellow DJ Stevirox (ex-landlord of the Roxx Bar) are holding a classic rock night on 16th May covering 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s rock and metal.
We were struggling to think of a name for the night (that would fit the theme and wouldn't be too similar to the names of other clubnights in the area).... then inspiration hit me - 20th Century Roxx!
To celebrate the occasion my other half Alex Turgid made us this trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkNdOhAvBvI
ENJOY!
Oh and for anyone who's in the area:
14th May Karaoke with Alex Turgid: all the usual plus rock, metal and punk up to the present day. 8pm-12am
15th May Burnout at the Regency: DJ Kerry Burnout plays everything from new wave to nu rave. Rock, indie, metal, punk and more... 8pm-3am
16th May 20th Century Roxx: an evening of classic rock with DJs Kerry Burnout and Sterirox. 8pm-3am
Regency Bar, 1 Church Street, Accrington BB5 2EH.

Greetings my heaties. Igor place that trunk in my cabin. Welcome to the good ship The Wednesday Request. I, Stevetheone will be your captain for this journey into the wild seas of music, ably partnered by my cabin-boy Igor. To start us off is a cautionary tale by those giants of metal on what not to do if a bird does its business on you- Iron Maiden and The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4C2TDUPejc&feature=related & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJfcLwepxNk&feature=related
Our first reqests if from that time-travel provider of excellent chocolates Tezac. Here's the unforgetable REO Speedwagon (everyones' favourite mode of transport) and Take it on the Run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL9XqWdFeaQ
Time to introduce a new band to you and a big Yes going out to noflynn for this one. Hope you are all ready to do a jig with Operahouse and Genius Child. A rising star I'm sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGjGrA876TQ
Up next is a request pinned on a cactus Igor has adopted. Thanks Jack. Seems his last mistress the Demon buttercup has found one of Will Wonka's lucky golden ticket winners. Here's Veruca Salt with Volcano! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0HjzD_GiaQ
I must warn you know the fate of our entire universe rests on you listening to this next tune. That most dreaded but respected of angels, Desolation has the 4th seal but is prepared to be generous and give us a few more decades if I play Tempted by the fab Squeeze. Here goes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PmtS_qMdXg
An little heard Alice Cooper song up next. I had Igor digging deep in the bowels to find this one. It's an aye, aye to Tony "do you likes sleeping with the fishies" Brandon. Here's Alice live singing Steven for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGHqnT3wYLU&feature=related
A rare treat for us all. This lovely tune has been asked by the most sensitive of ladies Ellie Elaine. Sway to the gentle swirl of lyrics and music that is David Sylvians' Forbidden Colours. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1YkHJJi-tc
Time to go live again at our most intimate of studios. Thanks to Zeus, that most potent of Super-Beings for asking us to arrange this. Here for you all is Fleetwood Mac with Never Going Back Again. If you insist chaps. Just one more tune for us all? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1cY7RpRkG4
Some modern 21st music for us all. Thanks to Reet for asking this great tune by the Killers. Here they are with Spaceman. Time to boogy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__3Koq-TrcI
Only a couple of songs left to play and as always we've saved some great ones to bring this voyage to a wonderful end. This one is for Mommyerin. Found this rare version just to delight you. Here's the eternal Neil Young singing his classic Heart of Gold unplugged and live. One to tell you're grandchildren. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFNqj3RGUuM
Hope you're all chilled out and ready to listen to the final tune asked by that enigmatic listener Heaven and Hell. Seems they've found their perfect track in this Black Sabbath single. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUJH7y1yK_E Igor look out for those rocks!
