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

I would not want to write something about something I do not think about

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.

The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

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.

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

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.
