Jack Bruce, as soon as I saw him, it changed me. I didn't even know what bass players did until I saw Cream.

If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.

I don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.

The Geezer album, Black Science, had a lot of keyboards and it did not work.

I've been perfectly happily married for 25 years, and have a nice life. Inane things don't interest me.

Toward the later days of Sabbath, instead of going in and knocking out what songs we did in rehearsal, we would polish them to death.

To me, Sabbath was always just a really heavy blues band. That s all we were. We just took those blues roots and made them heavier.
