00:00What's up Cleveland, make some noise!

00:18Plumber, car horn tuner, slaughterhouse worker, the greatest front man in the history of rock

00:27and roll, Ozzy Osbourne.

00:34I remember the first time I heard of Ozzy, I was 13 years old, wandering around the record

00:40store, what should I get?

00:44Sticks?

00:46Journey?

00:47An older rock aficionado noticed my indecision and he said, stop fucking around kid, this

00:54is the album you need to get, The Blizzard of Oz.

01:02Man was he right, thank you nameless rock aficionado, wherever you are, you changed

01:07my life.

01:10I remember looking at that album cover, at Ozzy's face, before I even heard the music

01:18I was transfixed.

01:19He looked so cool, that rad white suit with the white fringe on the sleeves, that crazy

01:26look in his eyes, the skull, the cross, holy shit!

01:33The whole thing just looked so badass, it was the most metal thing I'd ever seen and

01:39I didn't even know what metal was.

01:42He was teaching me, I didn't realize I was entering a whole new world of heavy metal

01:47music.

01:48I took that record home, and when the needle hit the vinyl, heaven opened up above me.

01:56I don't know!

02:02Then track two, Crazy Train.

02:07There was an explosion of colors in my brain, Suicide Solution, Mr. Crowley, Revelation,

02:15even Goodbye to Romance.

02:17You best believe Ozzy could take it down a notch, he could do it all.

02:22Blizzard of Oz was the best thing I'd ever heard, a heavy metal masterpiece.

02:28That fucking sound was raw power!

02:32Randy fucking Rhodes, yeah, giving Eddie Van Halen a run for his money, and Ozzy?

02:43That voice, it could cut through glass, magic, joy, beauty.

02:50So then I went back into Ozzy's earlier albums, to Black Sabbath, and I was like, unholy shit,

02:57this motherfucker invented heavy metal!

03:02Along with Geezer Butler, Bill Ward, and the immortal Tony Iommi, the darkest, heaviest

03:10shit the world had ever heard.

03:13And through all that power, Ozzy's voice, carving through the sonic blast furnace, let

03:20me get that right, carving through the sonic blast furnace like an air raid siren, he made

03:27the hairs on the back of my neck stand at attention, clear and crisp as a morning bell.

03:33And that smile, he looked so happy, he looked insane!

03:38So much charisma, the Jack Nicholson of rock.

03:43Okay, so, he invented a genre, had the greatest second act comeback in rock history, then

03:51what?

03:52How about No More Tears in 1991, with the guitar god Zach Wilde, proving insane lasting

03:59power, five times platinum.

04:02You heard me right, quinch up a plaque!

04:07It was then that he decided to totally touch his tender side, so he called up Lemmy Kilmeister

04:14for Motorhead, naturally, and together with Zach, they wrote Mama, I'm Coming Home.

04:21And thus, Ozzy took a little dip into the top 40, just to prove he could.

04:26Then what?

04:27The Osbournes, yeah, he teamed up with his family to create another genre, reality TV.

04:36Probably the most evil thing he ever did, but there is no denying it, his whole family

04:43were fucking hilarious and intensely entertaining, another fucking massive hit, then what?

04:51Oh, maybe just a little thing called OzFest, only the most successful heavy metal music

04:58festival of all times, Ozzy, stop creating incredibly successful genre defining world

05:05changing hits, it's too much success for one lifetime!

05:12And you know, a lot has been made of his evil alliance with the dark lord Satan, but in

05:17truth, Ozzy is a loving father and husband and friend, loyal to his family and friends

05:24to the end of the world and back.

05:31And now I stand here, yeah, just another nameless rock aficionado, and I'm talking to you 13

05:40year olds watching the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, all five of you,

05:45put down your phones, unless you're watching on a phone, then put it closer to your face,

05:51old man rock aficionado's about to drop some truth.

05:55Sure, you could go stream Post Malone and Taylor Swift and get all the warm hugs you

06:00need for your broken hearts, or you can stay up all night and get your minds blown by Ozzy's

06:07entire catalog for the first time.

06:10Holy shit, you kids are so fucking lucky.

06:21Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Ozzy Osbourne, the fucking Prince of Darkness.

06:30I don't know what music would be like if it weren't for the influence of Ozzy.

06:50It's everywhere.

06:51He left one of the biggest rock bands in the world and became bigger.

06:59The day I left Cybers, I thought, what have I done?

07:01I've just blown the biggest thing in my life.

07:07Everybody was wondering, what is Ozzy going to do?

07:09He's not in South anymore.

07:11And he comes out with his first two records and they're fucking amazing.

07:15Crazy Train really is an absolute launching pad.

07:20It's like Ozzy the rocket taking off into space.

07:28Me and my friends were blown away.

07:30We're like, you guys have to hear this.

07:38And within all of that, you had this guitar player by the name of Randy Rhoads.

07:49You heard all this new stuff that Ozzy was doing.

07:51It was just like a new era has arrived.

07:53I saw 17,000 kids that raised their hands like this, which is the sign of the devil,

08:03as you know.

08:04And they said, Ozzy.

08:13I'm a split personality.

08:15Ozzy Osbourne and John Osbourne is two different people.

08:18John Osbourne is talking to you now.

08:20But if you want to be Ozzy, how's that?

08:27I mean, do you like animals?

08:29Yes, they're nice to eat.

08:34Osbourne has a reputation, real or not, for biting the heads off bats.

08:45I mean, I suppose in the spirit of rock and roll, I don't know.

08:48I didn't mean any harm to any of them, apart from the bat and the dog.

08:59Yeah, I mean, Ozzy is completely nuts.

09:02And that's very good for a front man.

09:06You know, he just puts it out there and doesn't give a shit.

09:14He's like a loose cannon.

09:16There's that kind of danger, because rock and roll should be dangerous.

09:24I think Ozzy's music is timeless.

09:28Gives me the chills.

09:29It's just perfect.

09:39Ozzy Osbourne's got a voice that is so distinctive.

09:43It doesn't matter what he's singing over, you know it's him.

09:46Ozzy is more fountain pen than William Shakespeare.

09:51He's totally unique.

09:58You play Ozzy's voice anywhere in the world, and people go, that's the Prince of Darkness.

10:05And you can't tell Ozzy's story without his long-time guitarist, Zach Wilde.

10:11The dude is a beast.

10:13Welcome to OzFest!

10:15OzFest became a staple in the hard rock community.

10:19I think it was hugely responsible for keeping the genre alive.

10:28My audience is better than any drugs, alcohol, and drugs.

10:33Alcohol is the best love affair of my life.

10:39I think that the audience has a sense of, that could be me.

10:45The idea of being free like Ozzy is very exciting.

10:51Ozzy's the godfather of metal.

10:55His legacy is so widespread.

11:02He always has a new song, a new album, and new musical ideas.

11:07His voice is his legacy.

11:10After it's all said and done, I wouldn't change a fucking thing.

11:22It is my great honor to officially induct the greatest to ever lace him up

11:28in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

11:30The one, the only, Ozzy Osbourne!

11:54Fucking love you guys.

11:58Well, here we are.

12:06You know what?

12:08I can't believe I'm here myself, you know what I mean?

12:12Firstly, let me get the thank yous out of the way,

12:15because I'm not going to bore you with a long drawn-out fucking monologue.

12:21I'd like to thank whoever voted me into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

12:25for my solo work, a great thank you.

12:29Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I really, thank you, thank you, thank you.

12:34And more so, my fans have been so loyal to me over the years, I cannot thank them enough.

12:46I've been fortunate over the years to play with some of the world's greatest guitar players,

12:52drummers, bass players, a few of them are here tonight.

12:57But I want to spend one thing for a guy by the name of Randy Rhoades.

13:05Because if I hadn't met Randy Rhoades, I don't think I'd be sitting here now.

13:10And more so than that, my wife, Sharon, saved my life.

13:16And my grandbabies, I love them all.

13:19So with all that, I'm going to get on with the show and hand it back to Jack.

13:26Thank you, Ozzy.

13:27Thank you for existing, you legend.

13:31We love you.

13:33Let's hear it for Ozzy.

13:36Yeah.

13:41And now, to pay tribute to Ozzy, Chad Smith, Robert Trujillo,

13:49Adam Wakeman, Andrew Watt, Billy Idol, Steve Stevens, Zach Wilde, Jelly Roll.

13:56And to start it off, Maynard James Keenan and Wolfgang Van Halen.

14:03All right!

18:03But I'm gonna take this heart of stone, I just got to have it all.

18:11I've seen your face a hundred times.

18:19Every day we've been apart.

18:25I don't care about the sunshine, yeah.

18:30Cause mama, mama, I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home.

19:00I'm coming home.

20:00The light in the window is a crack in the sky.

20:23Stairway to darkness in the blink of an eye.

20:33And in the tears to look, you'll never be coming back.

20:35And in the dark, we'll bring another attack.

20:48Oh, yeah!

20:50I never wanted it to end this way.

20:56My love, my darling, believe me, when I say to you, in love, I think I'm falling in.

21:11No more tears, no more tears, no more tears, no more tears.

21:27No more tears, no more tears, no more tears, no more tears.
