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 ↴
Do the feelings you have keep you burnt
Has the feeling you've made help you down
Violation, salutation, complication
Realization, indecision, clears my vision
I'd like to take it all and shove it back in your face
My screaming yeah, feeling this way for too long
My dreaming yeah, feeling this way for too long
All the dreams that you have not aroused
As the ladder you've climbed, falls down
Selfish reasons, change of seasons, trust no other
Cheat another, sound of violence, hymn of silence
I'd like to take it all and shove it back in your face
My screaming yea, feeling this way for too long
My dreaming yea, feeling this way for too long
Feel the burn, feel the burn, feel the burn
Do the feelings you have keep you burnt
As the ladder you've climbed, falls down
My screaming yeah, feeling this way for too long
My dreaming yeah, feeling this way for too long
Feel the burn, feel the burn, feel the burn
The lyrics to Fozzy's song "Ignition" suggest the idea of being trapped within one's own thoughts and feelings. The opening line, "Feel the burn," suggests a sense of pain or discomfort that the individual is experiencing. The subsequent lines, "Do the feelings you have keep you burnt?" and "Has the feeling you've made help you down?" suggest that these feelings are causing emotional distress, a sense of being burnt out or overwhelmed by one's own thoughts and emotions.
The lyrics further delve into notions of violation, salutation, and complication, which could be interpreted as an exploration of the complexities of human relationships. The lines, "Realization, indecision, clears my vision," suggest that the individual is struggling to make sense of their emotions and situation, perhaps feeling overwhelmed or conflicted. The repetition of "My screaming yeah, feeling this way for too long / My dreaming yeah, feeling this way for too long" reinforces this sense of frustration and dissatisfaction with the status quo.
Overall, "Ignition" speaks to the experience of being stuck in a negative cycle of emotions or relationships, and the struggle to process and overcome these challenges.

There you go again
Calling out our sins
The only one with clean hands
Preaching to the choir
Holier than thou
This wolf in sheep's clothing
A messenger of God
But heretic at heart
It's never you that's guilty
Self righteous and above
Anything at all
Appointed judge and jury
So I want to know
Tell me how I've fallen from grace
Show me how to wash it away
I know what you are underneath
So keep your secrets safe by
Shining a light while you hide your demons
Pray for me, pray for me
Throwing your stones from a glass house broken
Pray for me, pray for me
Purifier, purifier
Your day's coming
Got a face that does you in
I know there's two of them
Which one are you wearing now?
To justify the dirt
Recite your chapter verse
While I throw up in my own mouth
So I want to know
Tell me how I've fallen from grace
Show me how to wash it away
I know what you are underneath
So keep your secrets safe by
Shining a light while you hide your demons
Pray for me, pray for me
Throwing your stones from a glass house broken
Pray for me, pray for me
Purifier, purifier
Your day's coming
I know, I know who you are
I don't believe you anymore
I know, I know who you are
Just a hypocrite
You gotta live with it
Tell me how I've fallen from grace
Show me how to wash it away
I know what you are underneath
So keep your secrets safe by
Shining a light while you hide your demons
Pray for me, pray for me
Throwing your stones from a glass house broken
Pray for me, pray for me
Purifier, purifier
Purifier, purifier
Your day's coming

A rock-solid part of his character, I know, pun intended. But it is very close to being accurate. I can name no other pro that has hopped back and forth on the heel and Babyface train, so often, remaining so vocal all the while. When Rocky finally went Babyface, he never really went back. If you think Triple H could be in this conversation, be real, Junior! Booking yourself, isn't creativity. And it's no excuse for 2 part-time guys to thoroughly outwork you every single week, either.
I didn't even have to mention Stone Cold.
Even if I did, Jericho defeated all 3 of these guys to win the "undisputed title". 2 of them in one single night. So, homeboy was most certainly "over". He has one peer rival. The greatest isn't really a stretch for him. It just sounds deliciously conceited for a heel to say.

Fozzy is great

I’ve said it many times, Chris is the most underrated singer out there and the band all out 🤘🏾
They deserve many Grammy awards
Unfortunately I’m just one Grammy voter out of many
The people need to push this to be #1 on Spotify for at least 20 weeks or more
They deserve it!!!
