"I wrote the music before Oz passed away. But after Oz passed away, when we went back to England and we laid Ozzy to rest, when I got right from that, I went straight to Pantera celebrations with Phil, Rex, and Charlie. And then when I got done, when we got done with the Pantera celebration run, when I got home, I was just sitting in the house and [this] is when I wrote the lyrics and just sang the song."
"The guitarist wrote part of the song using 'The Grail,' a Les Paul guitar that he used in his first writing sessions with Ozzy Osbourne roughly 40 years ago."
Black Label Society's new album, Engines of Demolition, includes 'Ozzy's Song,' written by Zakk Wylde in memory of Ozzy Osbourne. Wylde, who played with Ozzy for years, used a Les Paul guitar from their early sessions. He composed the music prior to Oz's death and wrote the lyrics afterward, reflecting on their friendship. A live performance and music video for the song will premiere on March 27th. The band is currently on a North American tour, with Wylde also performing with Zakk Sabbath.
