On the heels of the tremendous success of The Morrison Project and #1 song "Crack Cocaine", rock guitarist Billy Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne release an epic new single "Gods of Rock N Roll" today, Valentine's Day.

“Ozzy and I have breathed new life into what we always felt was a huge song. GODS OF ROCK N ROLL was written ten years ago in a South American hotel room, but with this re-recording we both feel we have finally made the song what it was always meant to be - a huge emotive ballad," says Morrison.

He adds, “A huge portion of the song was completely re-recorded, the 61 piece Budapest Scoring Orchestra recorded the orchestral score composed by Fred Coury, and then the John Burroughs High School choir were added. Barry Pointer had the unenviable task of mixing 132 tracks and he did an incredible job. The end result is what happens when Ozzy Osbourne makes some suggestions, and Billy Morrison listens!”

The orchestral score was composed and arranged by Fred Coury, and the song was mixed by Barry Pointer and mastered by David Donnelly. The recording features the renowned Budapest Scoring Orchestra. ”Gods of Rock N Roll" showcases the talents of Billy Morrison on guitar, Ozzy Osbourne on vocals, and Steve Stevens on lead guitar.

The video truly represents the spirit of the song that Ozzy and Billy wrote

Ozzy told Kerrang!, “Billy and I wrote GODS OF ROCK N ROLL together in a hotel room while I was touring in South America about 10 years ago. This re-recorded version of the song finally has all the bells and whistles. I told Billy then that it needed an orchestra and a choir, but it took 10 FUCKING YEARS for him to listen to me."

To add to the excitement, Morrison is set to release a deluxe digital edition of The Morrison Project album on February 21st.

Billy Morrison, the British guitarist, singer, and songwriter is primarily known as Billy Idol’s rhythm guitar player for the past 15 years alongside lead guitarist Steve Stevens.

Man W four C Y Radio. I'm very excited about

9
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.520
our next guest and the music that just came out,

10
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:55.280
So I'd like to welcome to the show. Who needs

11
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.000
no introduction? Hilly Morrison? How are you?

12
00:00:58.640 --> 00:00:58.960
Thank you?

13
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.000
Actually, you know what you need introductions. Sometimes I'm the

14
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.840
guy that knows, the guy that's been my whole career,

15
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.959
the guy that can get us to the guy. And

16
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.519
so this whole album cycle has been about well, actually

17
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:14.959
I can also play.

18
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.000
Music myself, you know, yeah, exactly. And you know it's

19
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:21.920
kind of like one of those things where you go

20
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.239
to shows and bands or artists or play a song

21
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.040
and people are like, oh, I didn't know that was them.

22
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.840
Yeah, there's that. There's that. There's also a generational thing.

23
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.359
I mean, you know, when when Paul McCartney got up

24
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.319
with I can't remember who a Miley Cyrus or so

25
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:43.040
one of those one of the new new breed, and

26
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.359
you know, their fans were going, I don't know who

27
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.359
that old guy is, but he's really lucky to be

28
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:50.959
on stage with whoever it was. So there's there's a

29
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:56.200
generational thing and that's fine. That's the inherently the the

30
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.480
essence of the music business.

31
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.599
Yeah, total, And you know what, it's so funny because

32
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.280
I remember when that happened recently. I was like that,

33
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.280
that's pretty funny. Or you know, there's so many bands

34
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:13.400
you could say that about, you know, or what the

35
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.840
youth today considers a certain type of genre that really.

36
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.120
Is not what it was then you know, yeah, yeah,

37
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:23.159
I agree with that.

38
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.599
I mean, the whole genre thing, the whole point of

39
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.319
the Morrison Project album cycle has been to try and

40
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.319
break down some of that genre shit because I love it.

41
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.960
You know, radio radio is.

42
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.199
Very format driven, and if you release a song and

43
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.000
it doesn't fit into that station's format, they're not going

44
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:41.479
to play it.

45
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:43.400
And that's fine.

46
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.120
But the issue I have with that is the people

47
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:54.560
that are listening to let's say aor adult oriented rocky

48
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.960
they like, they like a little bit of train right,

49
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.840
but they also like a bit of Ozzy Osborne, right,

50
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.159
And the people that are listening to Ozzie's Boneyard on

51
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:09.800
Sirius are diehard Ossie fans, but they're also listening to

52
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:14.120
Lincoln Park, right, which is over on octane. And so

53
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.960
music is very fractured through the radio format. So my

54
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.000
album was, well, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna. I

55
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.960
listened to hip hop like a fiend. I listened to

56
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.639
hip hop, old school, NWA, Public Enemy, Cyprus, DMC. Well,

57
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.360
of course there's a track with Cyprus on the deluxe edition,

58
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.400
which is wonderfully behind you there, and there's a track

59
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.360
with DMC. There's a ballad with Linda Perry, there's a

60
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.479
metal song with Ossie. You know, fuck genres.

61
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:48.439
I love it because I talk about that all time

62
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:52.639
in my show. I so hate genres for multiple reasons. Like, Okay,

63
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.879
so you go back to the eighties and there was

64
00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.479
the genre gatekeeping, you know, and it's like, oh, you

65
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.080
can't like this music it's a new wave because you're

66
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.120
a metal head or anything like that.

67
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:08.159
It's always been the case.

68
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:08.840
Yeah.

69
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:10.520
The thing is, it has always been the case. When

70
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:14.960
punk rock hit England in nineteen seventy seven. It was

71
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.639
a backlash against bands like Yes and Genesis and Chicago

72
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.920
and the big overblown bands. And you weren't allowed to

73
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:29.079
like heavy metal except Motorhead. Motorhead punk rockers were allowed

74
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:32.040
to like Motorheads. So, you know, as long as I remember,

75
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.879
there's been these unwritten rules. And when you're twelve and

76
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.639
the sex Pistols are on TV, you are just going

77
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:41.519
to be, well, fuck everyone else. I just like the

78
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.519
sex Pistols. But as you grow and mature, I mean,

79
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.160
you know, I went through a Madonna phase. I loved Madonna,

80
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:52.600
you know, in the nineties she was amazing. You learned

81
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.439
that the genre thing is a young thing.

82
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:59.879
Yeah, And you know it's funny because why am I

83
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.160
friends now they've inviewed a few times. Was a new

84
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.399
waiver And I said to her the first time I

85
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:09.639
reviewed her, I'm like, well, I'm gonna say something I've

86
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.480
never admitted, but I really liked you in the eighties,

87
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.279
I just wasn't allowed to admit it. And now I can.

88
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.920
Yeah, you know, and there are artists like post Malone

89
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.319
these days that are breaking down genres. You know, he

90
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.079
popped over to the country world and now he's putting

91
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.439
out an album of Nirvana covers for Record Store Day,

92
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.439
and you know that guy is multi talented and multi genre,

93
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.079
and I like that we are smashing those genres a

94
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:38.480
little bit.

95
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:39.800
I mean on the.

96
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.040
Serious you know, I obviously have two shows on oz Boneyard,

97
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.920
but over at Octane they have been so I can't

98
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.920
thank those guys enough because they played crack Cocaine and

99
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.279
they've played Gods of rock and Roll, which is a

100
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:01.759
ballad right and Octane is not a ballad entry format,

101
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.680
but those guys are OCTANEA have shown me love. So

102
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:13.160
even the formatted stations are willing to, you know, cross

103
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:16.160
it over. Phenomenon is being played on Rock the Bells,

104
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.240
which is a hip hop station. So my job is

105
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:19.879
done here.

106
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:22.759
I love it. I love it, and you know, there's

107
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.720
so many micro genres and subgenres now that's ridiculous. Like

108
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.720
I go on tour and I do coverage at music

109
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:34.319
festivals in the US, UK, Europe, and it's like, it's

110
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.399
like ridiculous we do things. When I do the interviews,

111
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:39.720
I'm like, well, what would your genre be if it

112
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.439
was just your band? Because that's what it's become. Like

113
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:49.199
it's like it's so narrow, you know, and it does

114
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.279
come out to be a funny thing. But I'm glad

115
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.279
there's people like you that are showing that that genre

116
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.920
stuff is to be blunt a bunch of bullshit. Because

117
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.199
you're an artist, okay, you shouldn't be locked in to

118
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.560
one type of music, you know. And it's like it

119
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.480
seems like if you try to branch out, because we

120
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.800
all have different interests too, that we might explore that

121
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:11.360
you get punished for it.

122
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:13.319
You know, well only in the major world.

123
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.240
I mean, you know, in the major world, they're throwing

124
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.560
millions and millions of dollars at acts and they want recouitment,

125
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.000
they want their money back. So therefore, if you have

126
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:27.680
a hit at you know, modern rock, your next five

127
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:30.560
singles better be modern rock because that's where you've landed.

128
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.079
And I've got three million dollars into your band. So

129
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.240
that is why, that's why I advocate independent music. My label,

130
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:47.040
CLG Zoid are fully independent and have embraced the fact

131
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:49.079
that there's a hip hop song and a metal song

132
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:50.879
and a punk song and a ballad.

133
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:51.759
On one album.

134
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.480
They don't love it, and you can only really do

135
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.399
that at an independent level.

136
00:07:57.040 --> 00:07:59.399
I love it, and I'm also thankful over here in

137
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.680
the US festivals have finally started to do that because

138
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.040
Europe has been doing that forever. But we're fine. Like

139
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.279
when you can have somebody like Joey Roll that's in

140
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.160
pretty much every genre there is and he plays a

141
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:14.639
metal festival and everybody like they're there to see him,

142
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:16.839
all the metal heads are there to see him, that

143
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.079
to me is beautiful.

144
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:18.519
Yeah.

145
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:23.319
Absolutely, and that's because Ozzie and Jelly Roll have been

146
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:27.759
on the same stage together and it's more smashes genres

147
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:31.199
and Danny Wimmer, who's a promoter here in America.

148
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.759
He's had a lot to do with that. His festival

149
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:36.679
bills have been really diverse.

150
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.080
And also if you want to go back to the

151
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:44.840
oz Fest, you know and Lollapalooza, those festivals Lolapalooza had

152
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.080
iced Tea and Susie in.

153
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:51.759
The banshees On and next phenomenal. So it's it's always

154
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:53.039
been there, but I like that.

155
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.440
I like that the success of the Morrison Project has

156
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.639
contributed to that smashing of genres.

157
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:06.559
It definitely has. And I also even dig like, okay,

158
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:10.919
so you redid the Arsi song that you wrote with

159
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:17.120
Arsi in South America forever ago, and it's like I

160
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.519
love what I saw where it was like Arsie was like,

161
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.360
it's finally finished. The song's finally finished.

162
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.519
I was at Ozzie's yesterday and we were talking about it.

163
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.159
And you know, it's a matter of it wasn't that

164
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.879
I didn't want to finish it ten years ago. I

165
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.360
didn't have the label behind me. I mean, people have

166
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.679
to understand adding a fifty nine or sixty piece orchestra

167
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.840
and a choir and re recording almost all of it

168
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:45.200
costs money.

169
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.840
Yeah, a lot of money.

170
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.759
And it's not you get you know, you get your

171
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.120
wallet out. I've got three hundred bucks in my wallet, so.

172
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:56.120
I don't you know what I mean, people and the

173
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.879
team behind me. And then there's timing. You know, at

174
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.960
that time, my last solo album was coming out. I

175
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.240
wanted the song, so we mixed it as it was

176
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.080
and it went on that album. But to finally have

177
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.919
it finished in the way that Ozzie always heard it,

178
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:15.000
that's a nice feeling.

179
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.039
And you did a phenomenal job because Gods of Rock

180
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.399
and Roll was always a great song. But I think

181
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.879
adding everything that you added to it just made it

182
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:30.000
a complete song, like a just complete sensory experience.

183
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.240
Well, I think it's a new song. It's so different

184
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.039
that it's a new song. And that's you know, in part,

185
00:10:36.159 --> 00:10:40.559
that's thanks to Fred Corey, you know, the drummer of Cinderella,

186
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:45.279
who knew is an incredible orchestral arranger. And when that

187
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.679
came on my desk, I was like, yeah, well, first

188
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.000
of all, I was a big Cinderella fan, the great band.

189
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:51.639
Love Fred.

190
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.440
Let's hear what he can do, and that's what he

191
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.720
can I didn't have any part in that. He sent

192
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.399
me an arrangement, a digital arrangement, and I was like,

193
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:05.159
this is amazing. And then we made it into a

194
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:10.039
real orchestra. The Budapest Orchestra actually recorded it.

195
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:14.360
I love it. I love it, and you know, yeah,

196
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:19.120
your project is just I think everybody needs to get

197
00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:24.159
the Billy Morrison Project because it's so good for everybody.

198
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.600
And I would like everyone bought it.

199
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.360
Well, how do they buy it? Let's tell them that

200
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:30.879
right now.

201
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.919
Oh my god, I mean, we've my label has made

202
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.639
this so it's it's when they say available everywhere now,

203
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:42.360
it literally is any online if you go to Amazon

204
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:46.320
or Walmart or Target. You can order the album and

205
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:52.679
it comes CD, vinyl digital, like if you're on Spotify,

206
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.720
it's on Spotify. It really doesn't take much, so it's

207
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.480
not like it's hard to find album. The job that

208
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.399
I have, which is why I'm doing your show, is

209
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:07.159
to tell people it's out there. That's that's the difficult

210
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:08.240
thing in this world.

211
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:09.639
It is a good album.

212
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.559
I'm really proud of it, and you know, features all

213
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.120
my big shot friends Al Jergens and Linda Perry, DMC,

214
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:23.919
Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol, They're all on there, right, Corey

215
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.440
Taylor from slip Knock, Steve by Steve Stevens. So for

216
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:30.759
an album to be out there, you've just got to

217
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.559
tell people that it's there and they will like it.

218
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.919
So my job for the last year has been doing this.

219
00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:41.519
And it's a testament to you that all of those

220
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.320
artists are on the album, because that says a lot.

221
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.240
You know that, you know, an artists is not going

222
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:49.480
to put their name on something unless they think it's good.

223
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.360
And then my friends and you know, they all know

224
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.639
that I have and would always step up for all

225
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.519
of them. This was not an album put together by

226
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:03.080
a bunch of managers and agents and discussing the deals.

227
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.799
Every single artist on this album said yes because I

228
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:12.360
personally asked them, hey, I've got this song, and without question,

229
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.039
all of them when yes, send it over and they

230
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:15.799
sang on it, and they came back and then we

231
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:20.879
mixed it. And that is a testament more to friendship,

232
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:23.840
real friendship than business.

233
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:27.000
I love it, and that's where it should be in music, really.

234
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.759
I mean, that's few and far between in this game.

235
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.000
I know, and you know, like, I think it's great

236
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.840
nowadays that there is a lot more of the independence

237
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.559
and the record labels not involved. I was there in

238
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.600
the eighties in Oa on the Sunset Strip and watching

239
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:48.879
what happened backstage, and I'm like, yeah, I think the

240
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.840
artist should be deciding what the music sounds like, not

241
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:52.639
the suits.

242
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:55.000
Yeah.

243
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:59.039
Well, we've all been through that, and I'm just very

244
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:03.840
fortunate that I have complete and utter creative control, even

245
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:06.960
down to love it, even down to the imagery and

246
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.759
the videos and all the still photography, it's all my people.

247
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:14.919
I had a photographer for the whole album cycle. So

248
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.879
every photograph that you see on social media, album covers,

249
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.720
behind the scenes video all done by the same person.

250
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:26.600
The videos were all produced by me, so I had

251
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:31.639
creative control over how it looked. That's a true independent

252
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.320
project where the artist retains creative control.

253
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:40.320
And the proof there is the video for Gods of

254
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:45.720
Rock and Roll, because that truly represents the spirit of

255
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:47.720
the song itself and my.

256
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:49.720
Friendship with that man, you know. Yeah.

257
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:55.120
The video was directed by Ivo Raza, who also directed

258
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:57.559
the Crack Cocaine video, so as he was familiar with

259
00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:01.960
him and he likes he likes Ivo, and the idea

260
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.679
with that was purely I want I want the intimacy

261
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.360
of my friendship with Ossie.

262
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.159
Captured, and that love it. That's what was captured.

263
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:12.919
So I got fun I do have a funny quick

264
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:17.879
story for you about Ozzie. For me, like i've I

265
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:21.240
was pretty much at every Oz festeror was I I

266
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.720
had Blizzard of Oz on the eight track tape?

267
00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:26.080
Oh yeah uh.

268
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.159
But I had this history class in at Agura High

269
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.480
School and the teacher of the class was not the

270
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.799
history teacher. He went on leave, so they made a

271
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.000
music teacher the teacher of the history class. So he

272
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.120
had one assignment for the whole semester, and that is

273
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.720
do an oral presentation on any subject you want, no

274
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:52.120
matter what. So me, mine was for history class on

275
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:53.919
Ozzie and I got an A.

276
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.440
Perfect. I would hope I would hope you got an

277
00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.559
A on on Ozzy.

278
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:03.159
Yeah, yeah, right for a history clouds. It's great. I

279
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.919
love it. So tell everybody how they can reach out

280
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.679
to you on socials and the web, all the that

281
00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:12.360
pertinent information or anything else they need to look out for.

282
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:14.960
I mean again, it's it. That's all.

283
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.799
That's blatant self promotion. And I am so easy to find.

284
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.759
You know, if you Google is your friend. You put

285
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.120
my name in Google and there's all the stuff, and

286
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.480
it's it's all out there. You've just got to you've

287
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.159
just got to have an ear for discerning rock music,

288
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.039
you know, not prepackaged plastic rock.

289
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:38.759
This is this is the real deal.

290
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:44.039
And I'm proud that the album is authentic. It's it's

291
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.279
it's a set of twelve songs. Actually the with the

292
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.159
deluxe I guess it's eighteen songs, which is awesome.

293
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:55.000
That are all from from my journey.

294
00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:58.960
So I love it. And what I love about two AARs. Okay,

295
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:01.519
so we all have we all have our like favorite

296
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.720
types of music. We listen to. But we all listen

297
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:06.359
to all types of music and it depends on our

298
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.079
vibe or mood at the time.

299
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:12.079
You know. Well, that's the thing with the Morrison projects.

300
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.400
If you're feeling a little angry boy, you know, you

301
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.279
can play Dystopia that'll that'll start you up. And if

302
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:22.039
you're feeling a little like weird and dark, you can

303
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:23.160
play We Are the Dead.

304
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:24.119
You know.

305
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.680
If you're feeling like a white boy eminem you know,

306
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:31.000
want to be public enemy Chuck d Rapper, you can

307
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:33.039
play just like a movie or phenomenon.

308
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:34.519
It's all in there for you.

309
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:37.519
I love it, and it's true, like I can say

310
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.240
and listen to your album and I can go through

311
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:43.759
all of my moods and all my personality is all

312
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:48.279
on one album, right. Any final words you want to

313
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.000
give the listeners or anything else they should look out

314
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:52.000
for at this point.

315
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:53.880
I don't think so.

316
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:57.400
I think I think thank you to everyone who's embraced

317
00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:59.480
it already. And if you haven't checked out Gods of

318
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:01.839
Rock and Roll, oh it's going to number one, just

319
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:03.039
like Crack Cocaine did.

320
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:06.759
So go check the song out, go check the video out.

321
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.279
It's easy to find. Gods of Rock and Roller is

322
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:09.640
out now.

323
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.519
Well, you are truly one of the gods of rock

324
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:14.960
and roll, and I thank you for bringing music to

325
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:19.839
us and helping us through everything, because that's what music does,

326
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.759
you know, and takes us our journey and takes us

327
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:25.880
away from all the bullshit in life. And thank you

328
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:27.440
for being on the Adventures of pape Man.

329
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:28.960
Thank you for having me.

330
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:32.200
