I never picked a bass up before Sabbath started

It doesn't matter who you vote for. It's still the same billionaires that run the world.

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

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.

During our first meeting, Tony Iommi was a great jazz guitarist, his capabilities cover all styles - Black Sabbath has even narrowed his horizons.

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