What’s up, dudes? In memory of Ozzy, Duane Bailey from Tinsel Tunes and Matt Wheeler from Resurrection Metal Radio join me to talk 1988 Headbangers Christmas! Yes, it’s Christmas Eve on MTV’s Headbangers Ball, and Ozzy Osbourne and Zakk Wylde are hosting the festivities.
We’re introduced to a slew of ‘80s metal bands, but kicking off the festivities is Ozzy himself with “Crazy Babies!” Poison, Judas Priest, Winger, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, and Guns N’ Roses follow. Ozzy and Zakk have a great time introducing the videos. In fact, they even dress up in Santa hats. Ozzy even wears an odd mask and a pirate hook.
Next up are videos from KISS, Hurricane, Alice Cooper, RATT, Aerosmith, and Cinderella. Ozzy suddenly appears in a picturesque Christmas fireside, but now inexplicably has on caveman feet and a club. Subsequently, videos from Lita Ford, Anthrax, Bad News (with the only Christmas song), Def Leppard, and Iron Maiden air. Finally, Hear N’ Aid sang “Stars” and Headbangers Christmas concluded! Go get ‘em, boys!
AC/DC singing “That’s The Way I Wanna Rock ‘N’ Roll?” Yep. Yngwie Malmsteen performing “You Don’t Remember, I’ll Never Forget?” Uh huh. Sam Kinison? Sam Kinison?!?! Only if he’s wailing on “Wild Thing!” So grab your axe, turn it up to 11, and rock out to this headbanging episode!
