Rock fans, prepare to be transported through time, a brand-new episode of Ozzy Speaks premieres today, and it promises an unforgettable dive into the roots of heavy metal, the magic of The Beatles, and the towering guitar gods who shaped rock history.
Hosted by the legendary Ozzy Osbourne alongside long time friend and guitarist Billy Morrison, this episode is a heartfelt and often hilarious trip down memory lane. The duo opens up about the formative years of Black Sabbath, offering raw and intimate stories about the band’s early struggles and the explosive rise that changed the music world forever.
Ozzy shares anecdotes that only he can tell—from grimy rehearsal rooms in Birmingham to the electrifying moment when Sabbath realized they were creating something never heard before. “We weren’t trying to invent heavy metal,” Ozzy laughs, “we were just trying to make a bit of noise—and survive!”
But it’s not just about Sabbath. Ozzy gets nostalgic as he talks about his lifelong love for The Beatles, calling them his first true musical obsession. “Hearing ‘She Loves You’ changed my life,” he says. “If it wasn’t for The Beatles, there’d be no Ozzy.” The episode pays tribute to how deeply the Fab Four influenced not just Ozzy’s sound, but his entire identity as a musician and a dreamer.
The conversation also explores the guitar legends Ozzy has worked with—from the incendiary style of Randy Rhoads to the ferocity of Zakk Wylde, and the precision of Tony Iommi. Morrison, who has shared stages with many of these legends, joins Ozzy in celebrating their technical brilliance and emotional impact. “Each one brought something different,” Ozzy reflects. “But they all had the same fire.”
With rare stories, candid laughter, and Ozzy’s signature unpredictability, this episode is more than just a rock retrospective, it’s a love letter to the music and moments that defined an era.
Tune in today to hear the Prince of Darkness like never before, reflective, inspired, and still rocking. Only on Ozzy Speaks.
