Ozzy Osbourne and Billy Morrison re-record “Gods of Rock N Roll” on 105.7 The Point.
Ozzy Osbourne and Billy Idol guitarist, Billy Morrison, have reunited to recreate their iconic 2015 collaboration, “Gods of Rock N Roll.” This updated version, which is now available on various digital platforms, features the addition of a choir and a 61-piece orchestra to the track, along with the talented guitarist Steve Stevens, known for his work with Billy Idol.
The idea for “Gods of Rock N Roll” was conceived by Ozzy and Morrison about a decade ago in a hotel room during Ozzy’s tour in South America. Ozzy shared with Kerrang! that he had suggested adding an orchestra and a choir to the song from the very beginning, but it took a decade for his vision to come to fruition. Now, fans can enjoy this new rendition of the song that finally includes all the elements the creators had initially envisioned.
This fresh take on “Gods of Rock N Roll” can be found on a special edition of Morrison’s 2024 album, “The Morrison Project.” The digital release of this edition is scheduled for February 21, while the vinyl version will be available from March 7 onwards. The original version of the album already featured another collaboration between Ozzy Osbourne and Billy Morrison, the track “Crack Cocaine.”
The revitalized version of the song, with the additional orchestra and choir, breathes new life into this classic rock anthem, giving it a grandeur and depth that were previously missing. The inclusion of Steve Stevens’ guitar work adds another layer of musical excellence to the collaboration, making it a standout piece in both artists’ repertoires.
The meticulously arranged choir and symphony orchestration elevate “Gods of Rock N Roll” to a whole new level, providing listeners with a powerful and immersive musical experience. This reinterpretation of the song showcases the unique talents and creativity of both Ozzy Osbourne and Billy Morrison, highlighting their ability to continue innovating and evolving as musicians over the years.
Fans of both artists can look forward to experiencing this reimagined rendition of “Gods of Rock N Roll” as it adds a fresh perspective to the original composition, breathing new energy and vitality into the timeless rock classic.
