To do the Ozzfest again would be great. I'd like to finish with a final Sabbath album. You always feel that it is still a challenge.

I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in

Lately, Ive been listening to some jazz albums. I love the new Pat Metheny album. John Coltrane. I still like good metal, though!

Ozzy wanted to get us back together. It's been 20 years. We did a couple of songs during his farewell in 1992 and that got the ball rolling.

What I used to play was rhythm guitar before I saw Jack Bruce. I said, That's what I want to do in life. He was definitely the main influence

I never try and sound like Sabbath.

I like to deal in the reality of life. I'm too old to sing about women and things like that.
