Rob Zombie angry with Ozzy

Rob Zombie has accused Ozzy Osbourne of stealing members from his band. Seven years ago bassist Blasko decided to join up with Osbourne and guitarist John 5 almost defected last year. The final straw came with drummer Tommy Clufetos' decision to swap sides and beat the skins for Osbourne instead.

But Zombie refuses to dwell on the negative, with Clufetos' departure opening the door for Slipknot's Joey Jordison.

"I thought the drummer I had was a good guy, but you find some people are just phoney. The greatest thing that happened was him hitting the road and Joey coming in. He's the perfect personality for this band," Zombie told Artisan News.

"And if someone wants to make a band of my cast-offs... enjoy," he said in reference to Osbourne, adding that he doesn't appreciate the way the singer and his wife Sharon do business.

"I think there's ways to do things, and ways not to do things. The way they've chosen to do things is not how I would do things. It's kinda rude. If my guys want to play with other people that's fine. I don't own them. But there's ways to be respectful and ways to be sh*tty - and I feel the way things have been done lately has been pretty sh*tty.

But Zombie remains positive.

"Every time I've lost somebody I've got somebody ten times better, so I'm thankful for that."
