Fozzy started out as Fozzy Osbourne, a cover band assembled by Rich Ward from whatever musicians he could find on a given week.
In 1999, Jericho met Ward in San Antonio after a wrestling show, and was invited to play with the band. Jericho sat in on a few sessions, but did not plan to play with them permanently.
In 2000, unable to wrestle for four months due to a severe ankle injury, Jericho re-joined the band and became its front man (under the persona of "Moongoose McQueen"), and the band went on tour. Later that year, the band shortened its name to Fozzy, and adopting the satirical back-story that the songs they covered were originally their own, but were stolen from them by other bands.
In 2002, Fozzy played on an edition of WWE Sunday Night Heat (filmed at WWE New York), and played "To Kill a Stranger" on WWE Raw is War (followed by an angle involving Ric Flair beating up Jericho). The video of "To Kill a Stranger" aired on WWE Confidential.
Fozzy's first two albums, Fozzy and Happenstance, consisted mostly of cover songs. Their third album, All That Remains, consisted entirely of original tracks (though a few of the songs were recorded by Ward's old side project Sick Speed).
In 2004, Jericho dropped the McQueen persona in favor of his wrestling stage name (his real name is Christopher Irvine). Previously, he had sometimes pretended that McQueen and Jericho were two different people.
Fozzy's song "Enemy" was the official theme song of WWE's No Way Out pay-per-view event in February 2005. The music video for "Enemy" was released on the bonus disc of GuitarOne's February 2005 edition. The song was also featured on the TNA iMPACT! show, just a few days before TNA Bound for Glory 2006.
Chasing The Grail is the upcoming fourth album from Heavy Rock group Fozzy. It is their first album since the release of All That Remains in 2005. The album is set to be released in late 2009.

Fozzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What once seemed to matter now dust at my feet
Memories whisper at the edge of perception
Silent reminders of a life incomplete
And all that remains
Are the scars to remind me
And all the lives I've thrown away
Are the bars that confine me
To a past I can't escape
Words that are unspoken are now reminders
Each second dies a silent death unmourned
I tried as a martyr to lead her, to guide her
Now I'm alone painted by the color of scorn
And all that remains
Are the scars to remind me
And all the lives I've thrown away
And all that remains
Are the bars that confine me
To a past I can't escape
The lyrics to Fozzy's song All That Remains describe the regret and pain someone feels while looking back at their past. The first stanza paints the picture of the singer looking over their shoulder at the road behind them, reminiscing on what once mattered that has now turned to dust at their feet. Memories whisper at the edge of perception, serving as silent reminders of a life incomplete. The singer feels the weight of the scars they have collected over time as a result of their actions. The scars are a constant reminder of the lives they've thrown away, and the person they've become.
The second stanza continues to describe the pain and regret experienced by the singer. The words that were left unspoken have now become reminders, each second dies a silent death unmourned. The singer acknowledges that they tried to lead and guide someone, but failed to do so resulting in being alone and painted by the color of scorn. The singer is confined to a past they can't escape, represented by the bars. The lyrics illustrate a sense of hopelessness and despair that seems to consume the singer.
Line by Line Meaning
Looking over my shoulder at the road that follows
Reflecting on my past and what lies ahead
What once seemed to matter now dust at my feet
The things I once valued are now meaningless and insignificant
Memories whisper at the edge of perception
Memories are faint and barely perceptible
Silent reminders of a life incomplete
Memories serve as reminders of an unfulfilled life
And all that remains
All that is left
Are the scars to remind me
Only the wounds remain as a reminder of past pain
And all the lives I've thrown away
I have wasted many opportunities and relationships
And all that remains
All that is left
Are the bars that confine me
My past mistakes and regrets are like prison bars holding me back
To a past I can't escape
I am trapped in a cycle of regret and cannot move forward
Words that are unspoken are now reminders
Things left unsaid now haunt me
Each second dies a silent death unmourned
Time passes without meaning or purpose
I tried as a martyr to lead her, to guide her
I attempted to be a hero and lead someone, but failed
Now I'm alone painted by the color of scorn
I am now alone in my failure and feel the judgment of others
