I know he was back playing for Voivod, but is he also playing bass for Ozzy while on tour?

I believe that he is still the bassist for Ozzy. Ironically, Robert Trujillo, the former bassist for Ozzy is now the bassist for Metallica.

Cool.

Robert Trujillo did his best work with Suicidal Tendencies. I don't really think he fits into Metallica very well.

Suicidal Tendencies rules! Pioneers I tell ya! Pioneers! I don't think they get near the respect the deserve. They were doing the whole rap-funk-metal thing WAY before it was cool. Rage Against the Machine took it to the next level, and now everyone is doing it. I think they call it "metal core" now.

"back playing for Voivod..."

Surf Niquragua is around here somewhere...and i just found my Flotsam & Jetsam tour shirts...

i think he only did one tour with Ozzy...

I'd have to say i prefer Infectious Grooves much more... Suicidal had a hard time getting away from being so angry at the universe...

Yes, but without Suicidal, there would be no Infectious Grooves.

Speaking of pioneers, I think Voivod is/was one of the most pioneering bands for death metal. Especially with how their sound has evolved. There are not too many metal bands that dare to be that different from album to album.

Also, Blackie's bass sound on Nothingface was cooler than anything Trujillo or Newstead have ever had. Absolutely ominus and sinister, good stuff.

So is Blackie the bass player for Voivod? It was my understanding that Newstead was playing for them. Or was that just on Ozzfest?

I haven't checked out any new Voivod. I will have to do that.

I loved Suicidal much more than Grooves!

Blackie is the original bassist for Voivod. He was on Roarrrr, Killing Technology, Dimension Hatross, Nothingface, and Angel Rat. I personally liked his sound/production on Nothingface. It was one of the biggest baddest bass sounds I've ever heard.

Suicidal is still one of my favorite bands. I thought Infectious Grooves was a bit too "funny" for my taste. Like Suicidal gone mainstream.

Suicidal is one of the best bands EVER! I seen them in Nurenberg Germany, on hitlers field. They warmed up for metallica, and honestly i thought they blew metallica off the stage.
