Q:You're playing with Ozzy Osbourne on Halloween night in New Orleans, which must be a big deal considering you named your son after Ozzy's original guitarist, Randy Rhoads.
A: “It’s a thrill. My first-born son Rhoads Morello is named after the great Randy Rhoads. There was a Randy Rhoads poster on my wall when I was practicing guitar eight hours a day, and he was very influential because while he was playing big heavy metal songs with Ozzy Osbourne, he was first and foremost a musician, and secondly a rock star, and that always appealed to me. So being able to play with Ozzy on some of Randy’s songs is another check off the bucket list.”
Q: Growing up, were you more into Black Sabbath or Ozzy's solo stuff?
A: “Both. I grew up as metal as can be in the northern suburbs of Chicago. It was all about hard rock and heavy metal. So Ozzy’s solo work and Sabbath were always very high on my list. I was a huge fan of Tony Iommi’s riff writing and of Randy Rhoads' extraordinary guitar playing. To be able to dust off a few of those gems and play them in front of 50,000 people is something I’m looking forward to.”
