Ozzy Osbourne has released “Straight to Hell,” the second track preview to his upcoming album Ordinary Man.

A dark, straight-forward hard rock jam that also peppers in stunning, harmonic vocals for good measure, “Straight to Hell” features lyrics like, “You’re flying higher than a kite tonight/You’ve took the hit and now you feel alright/You’re dance be death so we must celebrate/I’ll make you scream/I’ll make you defecate.”

The track also features Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, who up until this track’s release was not known to be featured on the album. Previously announced guests on the album included Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith

“Straight to Hell” follows the release of “Under the Graveyard,” the first single from Ordinary Man. So far, an exact release date for the album has not been announced, but the album, Ozzy’s first since 2010’s Scream, is expected in early 2020.

“Straight to Hell” is now available on all major streaming services and platforms.

8 Infamous Concert Moments in Rock History

• Ozzy & the Bat

  Share

  At a January 20, 1982 show in Des Moines, Iowa, a fan threw a dead bat onto the stage.  Ozzy thought it was a toy bat. (Oops!) Of course, after the show was when he went to the hospital for a round of rabies shots.  FUN!

• Axl Rose & the Riverport Riot

  Share

  Admittedly, the above description sounds like an amazing band name, but what wasn’t amazing was the riot that ensued at a Guns N’ Roses show in Maryland Heights, Mo. on July 2, 1991 at the Riverport Amphitheatre. Axl Rose cut the set short after seeing a fan in the crowd with a camera, and well you know the rest:  Cut to the infamous “Well, thanks to the lame-ass security, I’m going home!” line...and cue riot!

• Rage Gets Naked

  Share

  Rage Against the Machine made a big impression on fans attending the Philadelphia stop on the 1993 Lollapalooza tour. Rage took to the stage naked and stood in protest of the Parents Music Resource Center while feedback played for their entire 15-minute set. (Google images from this moment at your own risk.)
• Alice Cooper & the Chicken

  Share

  Alice Cooper was playing the Toronto Rock ‘n’ Roll Revival in September 1969, when a chicken was thrown onto the stage. Alice then threw the chicken back because, “It had feathers; it should fly!” Wrong! This iconic moment only added to the Shock Rocker’s legend…and likely still gives PETA fits.

• L7 & the Tampon

  Share

  L7 was on the bill at the 1992 Reading Festival.  The band experienced some technical difficulties during their set, which led to the crowd to start throwing mud at the stage.  So, how did frontwomen Donita Sparks respond? She reached into her pants, pulled out her tampon and threw it into the crowd while telling them to, “Eat my used tampon, f---ers!”  Never has a moment been both badass and revolting.

• Jim Morrison “Exposes” Himself

  Share

  What’s so crazy about this incident is that decades later, no one really knows if it actually happened.  During a 1969 gig in Miami, Morrison allegedly exposed himself on stage and was later charged with indecent exposure and “the use of obscene language.”   There’s still no photographic proof that the Lizard King shows his...lizard, which is likely why decades later, the Florida Clemency Board issued a pardon.
• Billie Joe’s Breakdown

  Share

  Green Day was booked to perform at the 2012 iHeart Radio Music Festival, and their set was reduced by 20 minutes so pop acts could have more stage time.  Billie gave everyone an earful on stage, however, things weren’t what they seemed. This incident shined a light on Billie’s substance abuse issues, and he shortly checked into rehab.

• Altamont

  Share

  There are few classic rock concert moments as tragic and infamous as Altamont, which took place on December 6, 1969.  Poor organizing and the Hell’s Angels acting as security was a recipe for disaster and led to the stabbing death of Meredith Hunter, which was chronicled in the documentary Gimme Shelter.
