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'd sort of dabbled in Black Magic, not practicing it, but I was interested in it. All these horrible things kept happening to me - a lot of my aunts and uncles started dying and I was seeing all these bloody things visiting me during the night.

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

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

Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I've ever met. Son of Sam is a close second.

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

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.
