HIGHLIGHT REEL | Remembering Ozzy Osbourne: | Legacy & Black Sabbath's "Back To The Beginning" | ft. Dave Hillis

In this episode of The Sonic Road Podcast, host Beau sits down with multi-platinum engineer and producer Dave Hillis (Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains) for a remembrance of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22, 2025.

Beau and Dave reflect on Ozzy's immense and undeniable impact on the music industry, sharing deeply personal anecdotes from their experiences seeing him live over the decades, and how the "Prince of Darkness" influenced their own musical journeys. The conversation explores Ozzy's unparalleled career, his iconic status in rock and heavy metal, and his incredible ability to discover and foster new talent, including the legendary Randy Rhoads.

They discuss unforgettable concert moments, the evolution of heavy metal through Ozzy's influence, and the enduring legacy he leaves behind. The episode also touches upon his final, historic performance with Black Sabbath at the viral "Back To The Beginning" show on July 5, 2025, and the broader cultural impact of his illustrious career. We also dive into favorite Black Sabbath songs and their underrated albums, as well as Ozzy's groundbreaking solo work.
