During an exclusive interview with Kerrang!, metal legend Ozzy Osbourne revealed that the late Taylor Hawkins inspired him to write some porn related lyrics for his song “Degradation Rules.” To be more specific, these lyrics pertain to that of the free porn viewing website, RedTube.
At one point during this conversation, Ozzy abruptly says to the interviewer, “You know what Degradation Rules is about?” He then continues, talking about the song and the late Taylor Hawkins’ lyrical contribution to it:
“Masturbation. Sticky little magazines. A toss-pot. There’s a line in there, ‘Red Tube rules!’ which is an [ode to] the free porn website. And, do you know who suggested that? The drummer, Taylor Hawkins, who died recently. To be perfectly honest with you, I’d never heard of him before he played on my album. But he must be good to play with Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters. When I met him, and from what I saw of him, he was a really nice man, one whose soul will surely last. I should imagine that everyone in that band was fucking devastated when the poor guy passed away.”
Among the many guests that appear on Ozzy’s upcoming album, the late Taylor Hawkins will be one of them (posthumously). Patient Number 9 will be here soon, but for now, you can check out “Degradation Rules” below.
