“Hey, Zeus is great, and Hades runs a hell of an underworld, but let’s be honest – the real heavy metal thunder that changed music forever came from Black Sabbath, and the true Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. The Stowaways will be paying tribute to Ozzy this year, and I can’t wait for ShipRockers to hear their epic 43-minute version of ‘War Pigs’ that they have planned,” says ShipRocked’s cruise director Cookie. “The best part is, they’re finally giving me a bass solo!”
