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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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