He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which period he adopted the nickname "Prince of Darkness". Born and raised in Birmingham, Osbourne became a founding member of Black Sabbath in 1967, and sang on every album from their debut in 1970 to Never Say Die! in 1978. The band was highly influential on the development of heavy metal music, in particular their critically acclaimed releases Paranoid, Master of Reality and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, but went on to have a successful solo career, releasing 13 studio albums, the first seven of which received multi-platinum certifications in the US. Osbourne has since reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions. He rejoined in 1997 and helped record the group's final studio album, 13 (2013), before they embarked on a farewell tour that ended with a February 2017 performance in their hometown, Birmingham. His longevity and success have earned him the informal title "Godfather of Metal".

Osbourne's total album sales from his years in Black Sabbath, combined with his solo work, are over 100 million. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Black Sabbath and into the UK Music Hall of Fame as a solo artist and as a member of the band. He has been honoured with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Birmingham Walk of Stars. At the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards, he received the Global Icon Award. In 2015, Osbourne received the Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.

In the early 2000s, Osbourne became a reality television star, appearing as himself in the MTV reality show The Osbournes alongside wife and manager Sharon and two of their three children, Kelly and Jack. He co-stars with Jack and Kelly in the television series Ozzy & Jack's World Detour. The show's third season debuted in June 2018.

Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The time has come to talk about tomorrow.
You should be a careful one tomorrow.
I heard them on the radio.
I saw them on the video.
I don't think I can take much more.

Led clones, led clones.

You've stolen from the houses of the holy.
You've rolled into the kingdom of the sain.
I heard you on the radio.
I saw those crummy videos.
I don't think I can take no more.

Led clones, Led clones.

Got to get it on,
from the still of the night.
But you're gettin' it wrong,
you know it ain't right.

Ooh, yeah.
Ooh, yeah.

I saw them on the radio.
I heard them on the videos.
I don't think I can take much more.

Led clones.
Led clones.
Led clones, whoa.
Led clones.

Led clones.

Overall Meaning

The song "Led Clones" by Ozzy Osbourne is a song that criticizes the music industry and accuses it of lack of originality. Ozzy speaks to the idea that the music of the "tomorrow" should not be a replication of what has already been done in the past. He warns the musicians of the future to be careful about creating something new instead of just copying others. He has heard the music of the "tomorrow" on the radio and watched videos of the same. Osbourne despises the lack of creativity and the continuous recycling of music styles in the music industry today.

The lyrics of "Led Clones" also refer to the iconic British rock band, "Led Zeppelin". It is said that the band was influential in the music industry of the 1970s and it is clear that the song talks about how other bands were quick to copy their sound, and style. Ozzy Osbourne accuses these bands of stealing from Led Zeppelin's style and trying to exploit it to their advantage. In a sense, he is referring to the new bands as "Led Clones," as they are trying to replicate Zeppelin's style instead of creating something original of their own.
