As a solo project, the record consists of nothing but tracks where he has other people do the vocals, such as Ozzy Osbourne, lead singers from Motorhead, Wolfmother, Foo Fighters, and a slew of others — most surprisingly Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. If this type of music is your bag, it is definitely worth checking out ....
