Ozzy Osbourne Says His Solo Rock Hall Induction ‘Feels Big’
Date: Apr 21, 2024 Posted By: Kaylee Harper
All is sweetness and light between Ozzy Osbourne and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as the Prince of Darkness prepares for his second induction — this time as a solo artist.
Osbourne, you may remember, tried to get Black Sabbath taken off the 1999 nominations list, calling the nod “meaningless.” But he happily went in with the band in 2006, and he tells Billboard via email that to become one of the Rock Hall’s multiple inductees “feels big. I’m more than honored.”
The honor comes after his wife and manager Sharon Osbourne called out the Rock Hall last year for not considering Ozzy as a solo artist even though he’s been eligible since 2006. Osbourne began that career after leaving Black Sabbath acrimoniously in 1979 and scoring eight consecutive multi-platinum albums starting with Blizzard of Ozz in 1980. On his own he’s also released iconic songs such as “Crazy Train,” “Flying High Again,” “Bark at the Moon,” “Shot in the Dark” and “No More Tears.”
“I definitely wouldn’t say I was confident” about solo success, says Osbourne, adding that the 2021 induction of Randy Rhoads, his late songwriting partner, in the musical excellence category “made me feel we could be on to something. With every new music venture there’s always a certain amount of surprise that comes when you see the fans embrace it, because no one wants to make a record and have it flop. I feel like I was invited to a party in 1980, and it hasn’t stopped. Not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band.”
Comparing this induction to Sabbath’s “feels different,” Osbourne says, “because my solo career, it’s been a much larger part of my overall music career as a whole.” And after finishing fourth in the fan vote with more than 480,000 votes “feels more special, and I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels that way.”
The big question, of course, is whether Osbourne will perform at the induction ceremony on Oct. 19 in Cleveland. Though he’s effectively retired from touring due to a variety of health issues, including Parkinson’s disease, Osbourne continues to speak about performing again in some capacity. Could it be a two- or three-song set for the Rock Hall? “You never know,” he says, only promising that his outfit that night “will most certainly be black.”
Osbourne has remained prolific as a recording artist, meanwhile, releasing two albums so far this decade — Ordinary Man in 2020, Patient Number 9 in 2022 — and is intending to do more. “I’m not putting a timetable on it,” Osbourne says, “but I plan to start working on a new album sometime in the near future.”
Adam Harrison, a son of Pawn Stars celebrity Rick Harrison, has died in Las Vegas at age 39
Date: Jan 21, 2024 Posted By: Kaylee Harper
Adam Harrison, one of three sons of reality TV show Pawn Stars celebrity Richard Rick Harrison, has died in Las Vegas, a family representative said Saturday. He was 39.
Harrison family spokesperson Laura Herlovich confirmed Adam Harrison died Friday, said his death was from a suspected drug overdose and issued a short statement.
Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam, the statement said. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that police were investigating Adam Harrisons death, which was first reported by celebrity website TMZ. Las Vegas police did not immediately respond Saturday to messages from The Associated Press.
Herlovich said she did not know where Harrison died or the overdose substance.
Adam Harrison was not featured on Pawn Stars. The show does feature Harrisons oldest son, Corey Harrison.
Both Richard Harrison and Corey Harrison posted short memorial comments on their Instagram accounts.
The History Channel program started in 2009. It centers on family relationships and business operations of a storefront business on Las Vegas Boulevard.
Family patriarch Richard Harrison, who was characterized on the show as The Old Man, died in June 2018 at age 77.
Metallicas Fuel Soundtracks New Video For Lunar NASA Mission - YEAH!!!
Date: Jul 13, 2023 Posted By: Kaylee Harper
Metallicas hit song Fuel is featured as the soundtrack to a 30-second clip of a shuttle launch as part of a promotional video for NASAs Artemis lunar missions.
The moon exploration program developed by the U.S. space agency launched its first flight back in 2017 and now has eyes on 2024 for the first crewed flight of this particular mission.
Famously, at the top of the song, James Hetfield shouts, Give me fuel / Give me fire / Give me that which I desire. And, well, this video has a tremendous amount of fire thanks to the massive fuel tanks on the shuttle and, if your desire is to go to the moon, NASA has that part of the song covered too.
Its a pretty amazing achievement to be on NASAs radar like this as they shared the video clip in celebration of today, which is the International Day of Rock.
From the observer state, it somehow feels like an ordinary day in the life of metals biggest band — from a week-long stint on Jimmy Kimmel Live prior to the release of their new album, 72 Seasons, to having numerous Metallica days held where Major League Baseballs San Francisco Giants play, to performing in Antarctica, being featured in one of the biggest scenes in the history of hit TV show Stranger Things... the list goes on and on.
So, Metallica and NASA? Sure, why not?!
The Artemis program aims to return humans to the moon for the first time since the Apollo 17 mission landed a crew on the lunar surface back in 1972. NASA, who is leading the program, is working in partnership with four other agencies — ESA (European Space Agency), JAXA (Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency).
And guess what? Part of the mission uses the Orion spacecraft, the very same name of the fan-favorite track off Metallicas 1986 masterpiece Master of Puppets.
Yeah!!!
Heres how this Canadian womans art ended up in a Metallica music video
Date: Apr 16, 2023 Posted By: Kaylee Harper
Kelly Richardson, a digital artist and professor at the University of Victoria, creates art visualizing the extinction crisis.
She crafts unique images showcasing humans’ impact on the natural landscape using video, CGI, animation and sound.
For me, it’s about engaging the public in bigger conversations about where we’re all heading, Richardson said in a University of Victoria press release dated April 7. There is potential for people to look up the work, see what it’s really about and possibly influence the wider public that way.
One day, she got a cryptic message from an art curator on Instagram.
(She asked) what I thought about potentially my work being included in a music video, Richardson told CTV News Vancouver. She did not say what band, she had to keep it very, very quiet.
The band turned out to be Metallica, and the music video was for their newest song, “72 seasons,” featured on their upcoming album.
In the background of the bands video, three of Richardsons pieces—titled Origin Stories, Halo (2021) and Origin Stories (AR) (2023)—were featured.
Since the video launched on March 30, it has amassed over 4 million views on YouTube.
The young version of me can’t quite get my head around my work being in their music video, she said in the press release.
