Ozzy Osbourne Releases Video for ‘Straight to Hell’ [Update]
Ozzy Osbourne has debuted "Straight to Hell," the second single off his forthcoming album, Ordinary Man. The track features a guest appearance from Guns N' Roses legend Slash and can be heard toward the bottom of the page.
Much like the first single, "Under the Graveyard," this new jam firmly places Ozzy in the current from the jump-cut songwriting approach to the polished, modern production. There's a warring energy between the singer and the instrumentation, which drops the fuzzed out distortion and pendular riffing to give Ozzy the spotlight before these facets collide over the chorus.
Joining Ozzy's studio bandmates Duff McKagan (bass, Guns N' Roses), Chad Smith (drums, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and producer Andrew Watt (guitar) on "Straight to Hell" is Slash, who contributes a thrilling solo toward the end of the track.
Read along with the lyrics while listening to the song below.
