The One-Off Series – Behind the Music: Ozzy Osbourne

Welcome back to SGT Rock’s Headbangers Ball, SGT Rock Army, Headbangers and the Hardcore, Veterans, Patriots, and everyone else not sitting in a diamond castle! On this episode of The One-Off Series – Behind the Music: Ozzy Osbourne.

Ozzy Osbourne’s legendary VH1 Behind the Music episode remains one of the most explosive and heartbreaking installments in the series’ history. From his shocking 1969 firing from Black Sabbath to reinventing himself as the godfather of heavy metal with Blizzard of Ozz, the Prince of Darkness lived a life that seemed destined to burn out fast. This episode dives deep into the insane highs of selling over 100 million albums, headlining Ozzfest, and turning “Crazy Train” and “Mr. Crowley” into eternal anthems, while exposing the terrifying lows: crippling addiction, the infamous bat-biting incident, the Alamo urination arrest, and the near-destruction of his family. Rare footage of Ozzy stumbling through the 1982 tour after Randy Rhoads’ tragic death and raw interviews with Sharon, the Osbourne kids, and Sabbath bandmates make this a gut-wrenching rollercoaster.

The story doesn’t end in tragedy — watch Sharon Osbourne single-handedly save Ozzy’s life and career, the chaotic creation of The Osbournes reality show that introduced him to a whole new generation, and his defiant return to the stage with Black Sabbath in 2013. Featuring never-before-seen home videos, emotional confessions from Ozzy himself about suicide attempts and sobriety battles, and reflections on his ongoing fight with Parkinson’s, this Behind the Music classic is the ultimate portrait of rock’s ultimate survivor. Whether you know him as the bat-biting madman or the lovable TV dad, this episode will leave you speechless.

Remember this, SGT Rock Army, Headbangers, Rock and Rollers, Servicemembers, and Veterans: “Music and partying was the mortar that kept us all together and no one can take that from us.” And now… we want to share this with you, the SGT Rock Army… enjoy the show. To our Fallen, we’ll see you on the other side, Brothers and Sisters. Til Valhall! Til Valhall! Til Valhall!

There’s a little something for everyone — Boomers, Gen X, Gen Z, and Gen Alpha! We hope you dig this show because it was made with the metal and rock music fan in mind.

SGT Rock’s Headbangers Ball isn’t just any show; it’s a rite of passage, a cathartic journey for those who live for the heavy metal experience. It’s a call to arms for headbangers, moshers, and fist-raisers alike. Keep your horns held high and that volume knob cranked to 11! This is YOUR… Headbangers Ball!
