In Episode 318 of The Hear 2 Zen Podcast, we sit down for an unfiltered, hilarious, and deeply honest conversation with the ultimate multi-hyphenate artist, Billy Morrison.
Known globally as Billy Idol’s long-time rhythm guitarist, a celebrated fine artist, and a popular radio host, Billy opens up about his acclaimed solo record Hollow, shutting the door on 31 years of personal recovery through music, and why he serves the song over his own ego.
In this episode, we chat about:
- Life on Tour: Handling 3 AM interviews, private planes, and why tour scheduling is never predictable.
- The Record (Hollow): Why Hollow serves as a cathartic, life-affirming body of work after decades of sobriety, and how he approaches major collaborations without using feature names as “name drops.”
- Working with Ozzy Osbourne: The special trust behind writing and recording with the Prince of Darkness and what really makes a legendary performance happen, “The Hang.”
- Videos & Creative Freedom: Directing on an iPhone on tour, tribute moments to Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and working with director/photographer Jane Stewart.
- Fine Art & Life Lessons: How Ozzy Osbourne literally forced him into painting, his Warhol-meets-Banksy aesthetic, and why street smarts beat book skills every single time.
- Social Media Reality: Turning off comment sections, handling internet rage-baiters, and navigating AI in modern art.
