(SRO) Throughout an illustrious career, Billy Morrison has played live in front of millions of fans, collaborated with every A-list rockstar under the sun (even notching a #1 single with the late Ozzy Osbourne), sold his paintings in galleries on multiple continents, and logged hundreds of hours on-air as a radio host for SiriusXM.
Still, everybody seemingly wonders, "Who the F%@K is Billy Morrison?" Today (May 6), the British guitarist, singer, and songwriter-joined by a cohort of iconic collaborators and friends-finally answers that question in a new short film titled "Who the F%@K is Billy Morrison?"
Directed and edited by Mike Savage, "Who the F%@K is Billy Morrison?" tells his story through punchy editing, candid footage, and new interviews with Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses, Al Jourgensen of Ministry, B-Real of Cypress Hill, Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme, mixer/engineer/producer Barry Pointer, and MORRISON himself.
Morrison describes himself as a "multidisciplinary creative," encompassing his "15-year career in the fine art world," "30-odd-year career in the music business," and "some successful acting moments." He holds nothing back either, tracing an often-unbelievable journey from his childhood in the UK to international rock stardom on his own terms.
He observes, "Despite a 15-year drug addiction...40 years later, I have a number one rock song and multiple Top 10 hits, so everything that you see me do now is fueled by a case of, I guess, making up for lost time."
The visual can barely contain the enthusiasm of its interviewees though.
At the very mention of MORRISON, McKagan beams, "He's a hell of a guitar player, lives for music," and B-Real reveals, "He's thoughtful of everybody on the song and not too many people are thoughtful when they have you on the track." Pointer marvels at his work ethic, "He's a hustler, meaning he never slows down."
After dubbing him "a bionic riff machine," it's Jourgensen who puts it best, "There's a lot more to unwrap in the Billy Morrison box than you would think, but mainly he's just a top shelf human being, so what could possibly go wrong?"
One of the short film's most tender moments comes as Morrison recalls his best friend Ozzy's impact on his life. It was Ozzy who recognized his potential as a fine artist, leading to an unbelievable second act. Morrison affirms, "He knew I had this in me...Here I am 15 years later."
It's just the tip of the iceberg though.
The best way to find out Who the F%@K rock 'n' roll's best kept secret really is will be to take a listen to his upcoming album HOLLOW-due out August 7 via TLG | ZOID/Virgin Music Group.
Last month, MORRISON ignited his next era with the single "Becoming" [feat. Sully Erna of Godsmack & GRAMMY Award winner Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme]. Beyond picking up a head of steam at DSPs, it has surged at Active Rock Radio, hitting #26 this week on the Billboard chart. Revolver dove into the track headfirst with an extensive feature interview, going on to note that "Morrison and Fuel member Brett Scallions co-wrote the song before sending it over to Erna, who delivers an impassioned and raspy set of lines. Bettencourt rises to the occasion and rips pure hellfire on his guest solo."
