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

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

Toward the later days of Sabbath, instead of going in and knocking out what songs we did in rehearsal, we would polish them to death.

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

I've been perfectly happily married for 25 years, and have a nice life. Inane things don't interest me.

Black Sabbath was written on bass: I just walked into the studio and went, bah, bah, bah, and everybody joined in and we just did it.
