Southern rockers Skynyrd, whose name was a deliberately misspelled "tribute" to a hated high-school teacher, made much of its memorable music before a 1977 plane crash killed singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines. "If there was no Black Sabbath, I could still possibly be a morning newspaper delivery boy," Ulrich said. Osbourne wondered if they were making fun of him and wanted to punch them out Metallica was just hoping he'd join them to sing those songs. While touring with Osbourne in 1986, Ulrich said a young Metallica would play Sabbath songs in their soundcheck. It was up to Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich to note the honor came "a decade or so late." Ulrich and Metallica guitarist James Hetfield offered heartfelt tributes and performed two Sabbath songs. Osbourne explained that was a defense mechanism: He didn't want to keep getting hurt when Sabbath didn't make the cut.
The makers of riff-heavy rockers "Iron Man" and "War Pigs" had waited 10 years for their entrance, and during that time an angry Osbourne asked that Sabbath no longer be considered.
SUPERTRAMP SCHOOL LYRIC TV
The induction clearly meant a lot to Osbourne, known to a new generation as an addled reality TV star, and his mates in Black Sabbath. "Oddly enough, while we usually have our squabbles, we were the one band tonight that seemed to get along OK," he said. "If they want to smash them into bits, they can do that, too," Wenner said.Īll the animosity left Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Ed King bemused backstage. Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner read the letter in its entirety, and invited the band to pick up their trophies at the rock hall in Cleveland. The Sex Pistols had turned down their honor in a profane letter that compared the hall to "urine in wine," true to the spirit of the lacerating lyrics in "God Save the Queen" and "Pretty Vacant."
