Actually I go to Ozzfest every year (except this year since it never came to Michigan) and I've seen Ozzy alot of times without Zakk. And from what Zakk said in his interview about the Pantera thing, (I can't remember what radio show it was, but Metal Sanaz was the guest) Vinnie Paul is trying to plan an actual tour, with a handfull of lesser known bands opening for them. But with the bad blood still brewing between Vinnie and Phil, (and with Phil in Europe with Down and Metallica) he just didn't see how it's gonna work with somebody else on vocals and I have to agree.
But anyway, you may be right. Something this big would definately have to draw Zakks attention and he did perform on the Black Rain album which is more than likely what Ozzy will be performing. I can even see him moving some dates around if he had to since this could draw more cash for him than a Black Label Society show. But damn, if he couldn't make it wouldn't that be awesome if Ozzy got the rest of the crew from Sabbath to play? I know it won't happen, but damn what if....
