Country star Jelly Roll recently clarified whether Jack Black was ‘uncomfortable’ at Rock Hall backstage.
Jelly Roll talks about Jack Black
The singer recently dropped the lineup who performed a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at the ceremony and wrote, “This is crazy.” A commenter said, “Jack Black looking real uncomfortable.”
“Jack Black hung out with us for 10 hours in the green room, coolest most comfortable dude I’ve ever met in my life lol,” Roll explained in his response.
Roll noted in another tweet, “Going to honor the incredible Ozzy Osbourne as he is inducted into the hall of fame tonight. These are the moments I never even dreamed of. I remember listening to ‘No More Tears’ in our living room with the whole family. CRAZY I was a kid. Thank you God for another undeserved opportunity.”
On October 19, Osbourne was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. This marked his second induction, as he was first honored with Black Sabbath in 2006. Black inducted Ozzy by calling him ‘the greatest frontman in the history of rock ‘n’ roll.’
“I can’t believe I’m here myself. My fans have been so loyal to me over the years, I can’t thank them enough,” Ozzy said. “I’ve been fortunate over the years to play with some of the world’s greatest guitar players, drummers, bass players.
The rocker continued, “I [want to say] one thing tonight for a guy by the name of Randy Rhoads. If I hadn’t met Randy Rhoads, I wouldn’t be sitting here tonight.”
Ozzy’s backing band included Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo, producer Andrew Watt, and keyboardist Adam Wakeman. THey have worked with Ozzy before: Smith and Watt on his 2020 and 2022 albums, Trujillo on the latest one, and Wakeman, who co-wrote five songs on Ozzy’s 2010 album ‘Scream.’
Tool’s Maynard James Keenan and Wolfgang Van Halen joined the band for the first song, Ozzy’s 1980 hit ‘Crazy Train.’ Ozzy started with his famous “All aboard!” before Keenan took over singing. Zakk Wylde and Roll then joined for ‘Mama I’m Coming Home.’
Jelly Roll also reacted to the criticism he faced. Check out the Tweet below:
Lots of tweets criticizing the man’s performance @rockhall induction for Ozzy. Nuance is lost on this app. Everything is great or terrible – how about, “that was different than the original,” or “that wasn’t what I was expecting.” Needless to say, @JellyRoll615 wasn’t going to… https://t.co/6HVKUYnQ0i
